Chapter 553 I'm sorry, boss, I broke my promise.
Lu Jinye turned around and walked out of the mourning hall.
After descending two steps, he slowly propped himself up and sat down, lit a cigarette while standing on the ground, then lit another one and put it in his mouth to smoke.
He stared intently at the burning flames.
Just like when Wen Ni faked her death, he sat alone on the steps of the mourning hall, lost in thought.
But this time he was no longer dejected and powerless!
Rather, it was out of a certain determination.
“I thought you and Fengsui didn’t get along.” Lu Zhenbang also came out of the mourning hall. He had many more white hairs than before, and his eyes were red.
Lu Jinye didn't turn around and took a deep drag on his cigarette.
"What do we have to do with each other? It's just that we happened to fall in love with the same woman. Apart from that, I admire and respect him more."
“So that’s how it is…” Lu Zhenbang opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but didn’t know where to begin. “I thought…”
“You have never truly understood me, so naturally you would never know what I am thinking,” Lu Jinye interrupted his father.
After a long silence, he held the cigarette between his fingers. "I heard the military is recruiting?"
“Yes. If a large-scale war breaks out in the future, we will need more troops and more capable commanders.” Lu Zhenbang swallowed his lingering displeasure, paused, and looked at Lu Jinye’s back. “Why are you asking this? You don’t… have any thoughts about joining the army, do you? Lu Jinye, you know your own body…”
"With the nation facing such a crisis, will the military be as strict in its recruitment as before?" Lu Jinye's voice was deep. "The capable and the virtuous should be given priority, shouldn't they?"
“Lu Jinye, your mother and I are both soldiers, and we’re going to be on the front lines! You’re our only son. If you join the army too, what will happen to the Lu Group? What will happen to all the hard work your grandfather has put in over the years? Besides, you’re not in good health. What will your mother and I do if something happens to you?!” Lu Zhenbang’s face turned pale, and he was completely enraged.
“The Lu family doesn’t only have me as a child. There’s also Lu Jinbai. The Lu Group will be handed over to him from now on.” Lu Jinye stood up, leaving his father with a cold and lonely back view. “I have faced death countless times, and I have never seen you care about me like this. There’s no need for you to be so hypocritical now. I have my own decisions, and I will not bring shame to your Lu family.”
"Lu Jinye!"
Another failed conversation.
Lu Zhenbang felt a tightness in his chest from anger and shouted, but Lu Jinye didn't turn around.
He clenched his fist again, wanting to chase after them again, but was stopped by the soldiers who caught up from behind.
"Captain Lu, orders from higher command require you to immediately lead the Second Special Operations Team to the southern battlefield to carry out an infiltration and decapitation operation. The specific details of the operation and the target have been sent to you!"
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Zhenbang watched his son's figure disappear from sight, then composed himself and prepared to head to the battlefield!
The border between China and Myanmar remains fraught with conflict.
When Wen Ni woke up, she found herself locked up in that dark, unlit underground cell again. She was sitting in a chair, her hands and feet were tied, and she couldn't move!
The gunshot wound to her chest that nearly killed her has been bandaged.
She tried to move, but the sharp pain in her chest made her turn pale!
“Clatter.”
The iron gate was then opened.
Wen Ni put away the ferocity on her face, raised her head, and saw that the people who came were Li Shiyan and Ye Zhishu.
As soon as he entered, Li Shiyan angrily grabbed Wen Ni by the neck!
The force was so great that she had to open her mouth to breathe.
"It was you! You gave the special medicine to Song Yanfeng and asked him to find a way to send it back to China!?"
"Look at your stupid, furious look... Song Yanfeng must have succeeded, right?" Wen Ni's life was in her hands, yet she could still laugh openly. "The epidemic in China... will soon be over. Your plan will not succeed!"
"Heh..." Li Shiyan chuckled, released her hand, straightened up, and stared at her. "Yes, you ruined my plan. You're happy, aren't you?"
“Yes.” Wen Ni answered directly.
"Then let me tell you something even more exciting, shall we?" Li Shiyan moved closer to her face. "That comrade-in-arms, Song Yanfeng, do you want to know how he is now?"
"What do you mean?"
"He's dead."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ni was taken aback at first, but then she calmed herself down and sneered, "Don't try to fool me. He has already brought the medicine back to China. How could he be dead?"
"I'm not lying to you, darling~"
“Song Yanfeng died at sea on the China-Myanmar border. Blind Assassin personally led a group to kill him; he was riddled with bullets! The blood stained one side of the beach red…” Li Shiyan said leisurely, maliciously observing Wen Ni’s changing expression. “Blind Assassin threw his body into the sea. I don’t know how he managed to hide the components of the special drug on his body, but his body was carried back to China by the ocean current…”
He spoke with great detail and conviction, and towards the end, he was seething with hatred: "It's all that stupid bastard Blind Thorn's fault! He was completely fooled by you guys! But I've already punished him."
Wen Ni turned around at the sound and saw Blind Assassin standing outside the door. He was bruised and swollen, with his head down and eyes downcast. His left hand was wrapped in a bandage that was still stained with blood, clearly indicating that he had lost several fingers!
Such a realistic description and narration made Wen Ni's heart sink even further.
How could that be?
Song Yanfeng... how could this be...?
[Boss, I miss you. Do you miss me?]
[Boss, let's practice again sometime. I'm sure I can beat you!]
[Boss, when we take our next vacation, how about you, me, Leng Feng, and Long Ren go find Poison Fang and drink him for three days and three nights straight until we're completely drunk?]
[Boss, this time we all have to get back alive.]
[Boss, boss, boss!]
Flashbacks kept replaying in my mind's eye, all showing Song Yanfeng's smiling face!
"Song Yanfeng!!!"
Wen Ni could no longer control her emotions. Tears streamed down her face, her expression twisted uncontrollably, and the hatred in her eyes grew stronger and stronger!
"I know you must really want to kill me right now."
Li Shiyan laughed heartily and maniacally, then his smile faded, his eyes hardening with cold indifference. "Unfortunately, you won't have that chance. I originally intended to trap you like a turtle in a jar, but I didn't expect you to use this opportunity to ruin my plans. The pandemic in China is about to end, which makes our General Dawa very unhappy. Therefore, I need to punish those who made mistakes!"
"Guards, take her and that half-dead Qin Yuan from next door away!" Ye Zhishu proudly raised his chin and gave the order.
Two thugs immediately entered, grabbed Wen Ni's arms from both sides, and dragged her out.
Wen Ni bit her lip so hard that bright red blood seeped out, her eyes were bloodshot, and she tried to struggle, but with all her injuries, she was like a drowning rabbit, and no matter how much she struggled, it was all in vain!
They were dragged out of the cell in this way.
Wen Ni raised her head and looked at Blind Thorn, who was still standing outside the door. Blind Thorn kept his head down and never looked at her!
Her eyes were filled with a mixture of anger and resentment.
“Sister…” he said softly.
"I will kill you with my own hands, and kill all of you!!" Wen Ni coldly interrupted his call.
Blind Stab's body visibly stiffened!
"You're already a cripple, where do you get the courage to threaten and intimidate us?" Ye Zhishu raised an eyebrow and gave a wink.
The subordinate next to her, with keen insight, stepped forward and delivered a chop to the back of Wen Ni's neck!
Wen Ni's vision went black, her head drooped, and she knew nothing more.
"Take them away!"
"yes!"
When Wen Ni woke up again,
She was tied to an open pillar...
