Chapter 79: For the sake of his wife, he doesn’t even care about his achievements?
Not long after, a familiar figure came from a distance.
Lu He looked around vigilantly to make sure no one was following him.
Then he walked up to the group of women.
Mrs. Qian covered her stomach and cried.
"Xiao Lu! What the hell are you asking us to do? That Ruan Anan is not some enemy spy at all! She's a living devil! I'm over seventy years old, and she slapped me in the face. It made me see stars!"
While howling, she secretly glanced at Lu He's expression.
The fat aunt also pointed at her red and swollen cheek and said sadly, "That's right! That little girl looked like she would fall down at the slightest breeze. She was so ruthless! That slap was like a palm of iron sand. Half of my face is numb!"
She recalled that embarrassing scene, her voice tinged with tears, "She even pulled out a knife! She pointed it directly at my neck! I was so scared that I... I just..."
She was too embarrassed to continue.
Lu He raised a sarcastic smile and found a relatively clean stone to sit on.
"Where's Xu Yancheng? How did he react? Just watching his wife throw a tantrum?"
"Hey! Don't mention it!" When Mrs. Qian heard this, her saliva flew everywhere.
"Xu Yancheng's eyes are like they belong to that little devil. He's so protective of her. No matter what we say, he turns a deaf ear to it!"
Her tone was filled with resentment and jealousy.
The fat aunt also quickly chimed in, adding fuel to the fire: "That's right! That vixen is quite skilled! She's completely bewitched Xu Yancheng! Good fellow, for the sake of his wife, he even gave up his merits? How could the organization cultivate such a fool?"
Lu He didn't even raise his eyelids, and said in a sinister voice: "What do you know? Xu Yancheng doesn't want to drive Ruan Anan away, which just shows that he has something to hide!"
Lu He took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to Mrs. Qian with a commanding and soothing tone.
"Granny Zeni, you've worked hard today. Take this, go back and have a good rest. We have to continue tomorrow after getting enough energy."
"Still going on?"
Mrs. Qian, Auntie Pang and the others' faces turned green and they were about to refuse.
A clear female voice suddenly sounded from not far away.
"Brother Lu!"
Ruan Anan had an extremely warm smile on her face and waved vigorously at Lu He.
"What a coincidence! We meet again!"
The smile was so bright that it was dazzling, but it made Lu He's heart sink suddenly.
Mrs. Qian subconsciously grabbed the pen tightly and hid it behind her.
"You...you...why are you still chasing me? Do you want to continue beating me up?"
"action!"
Xu Yancheng walked to Ruan Anan and waved to Wu Wei behind him.
After receiving the order, Wu Wei took several soldiers and quickly subdued the frightened women.
"It's a rebellion! It's against heaven!"
Mrs. Qian was shocked and angry, and struggled to scratch Wu Wei.
"If soldiers rob civilians, is there any law?"
"If you don't want to be beaten again, shut your fucking mouth!"
Ruan Anan took the pen from the panicked Mrs. Qian.
"Hero pen? Lu He, why did you give this thing to Mrs. Qian? She can't read a single word. Your grandson hasn't even grown all his teeth yet, and he can already write with a pen?"
Lu He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Comrade Ruan, you misunderstood, this is..."
"Alright, stop pretending! We heard every word you just said!"
After saying that, Ruan Anan took a step back and gave the home court to Xu Yancheng.
Xu Yancheng protected Ruan Anan and looked at Lu He with sad eyes.
"You now have two options. One, surrender and return to the military area with us for investigation. Two..."
"Fight me. If you win, you leave. If you lose, go to General Qi and admit your guilt."
Lu He's mouth twitched violently when he heard this.
Fight with Xu Yancheng?
Isn't this seeking death?
When he was a squad leader, he had experienced how reckless this kid was in a fight.
Anyone who fights him is a fool!
Lu He suppressed the panic in his heart and tried to make his voice sound steady.
"Yan Cheng! There's a misunderstanding here! We're brothers..."
"Misunderstanding?" Xu Yancheng interrupted his sophistry.
"Are you saying that I misunderstood you for instigating this group of people to go to my doorstep and slander my wife? Or did I misunderstand that you were deliberately trying to drive An An and me out of the military compound? Lu He, ask yourself, how did I, Xu Yancheng, ever let you down?"
Hearing this, Lu He's long-suppressed resentment was completely ignited.
"You haven't done anything wrong to me. You are still my savior, but I just hate you!"
"Why am I reduced to this state where I'm neither human nor ghost, while you're able to rise to the top?"
He pointed at the hideous, twisted scar on his face, his voice trembling with extreme hatred.
"Look at my face, I look like neither human nor ghost. I would rather die in the sea than let you save me."
Xu Yancheng did not lose his mind because of Lu He's words. Instead, his eyes became calmer and sharper.
"Lu He, do you think I will let you go if you say that?"
"I know you won't!"
A fierce light flashed in Lu He's eyes. He took out a dagger and then roughly pulled over the woman closest to him, Qian Pozi.
The cold blade touched Mrs. Qian's neck.
"Oh my God! Lu He, aren't we in the same group? Why are you arresting me?"
Seeing that Mrs. Qian hadn't understood the situation, Ruan Anan couldn't help but sneer.
"Idiot! Don't you understand? I was wrongly accused. He is the real enemy spy. He is the one who killed your men and children!"
"What? Lu He is the enemy spy?"
The fat aunt and several other women seemed to be struck by lightning.
After all this fuss, are they helping their enemies fight their own people?
Was he being used as a gun by a real enemy spy?
Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Lu He strangled Mrs. Qian's skinny neck tightly.
"Doesn't Commander Xu hate to see ordinary people suffer, especially the widows of martyrs?"
"Let me go! Otherwise, I will send this troublesome old hag to see the King of Hell right away!"
"Old hag?!" When Mrs. Qian heard this name, she was no longer afraid.
"You heartless bastard! Just now you were calling me "Granny Money" affectionately, and now you're calling me "Old Goddess"?"
"Shut up, old man!"
Lu He tightened his arms suddenly, the blade went deeper, and drops of blood instantly appeared.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut you right now!"
"Ahhh! Captain Xu, help me! Save me, an old woman!"
Mrs. Qian felt the threat of death and was so scared that she peed her pants!
Ruan Anan pinched her nose in disgust, "Weren't you quite capable when you called my man cold-blooded at my doorstep just now?"
"Now you know how to yell 'Captain Xu, help me'? Lu He is absolutely right. You are just a stupid, evil old hag!"
Seeing the blood on Mrs. Qian's neck, Xu Yancheng spoke slowly.
"Lu He! Don't you need a hostage? Let her go, I'll trade with you! She's old and her legs aren't very flexible. Taking her with you on the run would be a burden to you! You'd be more confident if you could take me instead!"
Lu He weighed the pros and cons and smiled: "Captain Xu is indeed kind and righteous! In that case, then come over here by yourself and don't play tricks!"
"Captain! No!" Wu Wei's face turned pale with anxiety. "He hates you to death. If you go over there, you'll just die!"
"Sister-in-law! Please persuade the leader and don't let him go!"
When Xu Yancheng said he wanted to exchange hostages, Ruan Anan understood what he wanted to do.
She pretended to be helpless and said, "He is the commander first, and then my man. Military orders are like mountains, I can't control them."
Although she remained calm on the surface, she was calculating the storage capacity of the space bracelet in her mind.
Almost there, just a little bit...
As long as she took two more steps closer, she would be able to "take" the knife from Lu He's hand.
Without the sword, Lu He is definitely no match for Xu Yancheng!
Xu Yancheng was about to walk to a place just a few steps away from Lu He and Qian Pozi.
A hint of excitement flashed in Ruan Anan's eyes.
Here it comes, the opportunity is right in front of you!
