The director only decided to confess after much consideration. After all, he and his son had already been caught red-handed, and their future fate was already obvious!
But they didn't want to die; as the saying goes, it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!
Who wants to die when they can live? Even if he had to die, he didn't want his son to go with him!
He let out a long sigh in his heart before speaking in a heavy tone.
"I need you to save my son and me in a critical moment! If you can promise that, I'll tell you!"
This person is no ordinary person; he's probably some important figure. If he's willing to let us atone for our sins, we might be able to save our lives!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che lowered his eyes, as if he were thinking seriously.
Bai Yajing's eyes darted around, and she said to the director, "Hey, I promised you. Husband and wife are one. My promise is the same as his. Go ahead and say it."
Ha! This little thing is no problem for her at all! Once everything settles down, she can give them some medicine and save them. Isn't that saving their lives at a crucial moment?
The verdict will be handed down as it should be! She doesn't care about being a gentleman or anything like that with this kind of person!
As for getting Xiao Che to agree to this? Absolutely not! Xiao Che is a soldier! This would damage his image!
Upon hearing this, the director frowned deeply, looking incredulous. "If he's not Yin Zhi, then you can't be Annie! How could you two be husband and wife?"
Bai Yajing pouted and rolled her eyes. "Idiot! If we're going to play a married couple, it's most suitable for a real married couple to play the role!"
"I am his wife. We sleep in the same bed every night. What woman would agree to not be a real husband and wife?"
The director agreed, thinking, "What kind of foolish woman would be willing to sacrifice her reputation? This isn't the old days anymore!"
Moreover, the tacit understanding and eye contact between the two really resembled that of a real married couple!
So he turned his expectant gaze to Xiao Che. If Xiao Che agreed, he would go all out!
Xiao Che was very clever; he could roughly guess what Bai Yajing wanted to do just by looking at her behavior.
He looked at Bai Yajing with doting eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and uttered a single word, "Okay."
Yes, he agreed to Bai Yajing's request, not to the enemy agent's!
Unfortunately, the director was so excited that he thought he and his son were really going to survive that he didn't realize the loophole in his words.
"Alright! A gentleman's word is as good as his bond! I'll trust you this once!"
After saying that, he shifted his position and whispered a few words to Xiao Che.
"At first, none of us knew the person's exact identity. Every time he saw us, he would cover his face and even lower his voice politely, making it hoarse and deep."
However... hehehe, he didn't expect that after a few encounters, I would roughly guess his identity! He has a crescent-shaped scar at the corner of his eye, which he tries his best to hide, but I can see it very clearly!
Also, his legs walk...
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che was still wondering who it was and was about to ask him to get to the point when he heard the sound of bullets hitting flesh and blood around him.
He suddenly turned to look at the director, only to see him freeze, his eyes wide as he slowly looked down at his chest, where there was a bloody hole...
He then collapsed, blood gushing from his throat, unable to speak.
Xiao Che, in a panic, grabbed him and asked, "Who? Who is it?"
"Heh...heh heh..." The director tried his best, but unfortunately he still couldn't speak. He turned his head weakly to look at his son, who was crying uncontrollably, raised his hand, and closed his eyes unwillingly.
Bai Yajing had already rushed to the direction of the bullet's trajectory to find the person when the director was shot.
"Dad! Dad! Open your eyes!! Dad! Don't die! How can I live without me!"
The young man cried his eyes out, twisting his body as he tried to get closer to his father.
