“He’s so charming, there’s nothing we can do about it.” Mu Qingyun pursed her lips and looked up in the direction Su Qiluo had left.
She could understand the strategist to some extent.
It must have taken a lot of mental preparation for the strategist to decide to abandon his own son and lie to his wife that the son died at birth.
He did so much for the stars in the universe in secret, but in the end, he couldn't even openly send his son to the battlefield.
"Wait a minute, come inside and rest for a while." She didn't say much, and turned to go inside.
Zhou Hengyue silently followed her into the house, waiting for Su Zhou to return.
...
"Qi Luo, have a safe journey and return home safely."
The principal stood at the entrance of the military academy, raised his hand and patted Su Qiluo on the shoulder, "If it weren't for my status, I would definitely be the one going to the battlefield this time."
"It's all for solving problems for Capa Dome." Su Qilu smiled politely. "You have even more to do. I also want you to help protect my wife."
"Yes, it will." The principal understood his meaning and nodded knowingly. "Don't worry."
"Hmm." He raised his hand, and the fighter jet appeared from the bracelet.
Just as he was about to board the fighter jet, he suddenly seemed to sense something, abruptly turned his head, and looked behind him.
Although Su Zhou did not deliberately hide himself, he was still quite surprised and stunned when he noticed Su Qiluo's gaze.
Su Zhou opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, mouthing the words he wanted to say, "Come back safely."
Su Qiluo understood his lip movements and subconsciously turned her bracelet.
"Qi Luo, what's wrong?"
The principal looked at Su Qiluo, who had suddenly turned to look behind him and remained motionless for a long time, and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing." He shook his head, looked away, and walked into the fighter jet.
But he stopped halfway there.
He clenched and unclenched his fists at his sides, then turned his head. Su Zhou was still there, watching him.
Haven't left yet?
He looked at Su Zhou. In a few years, Su Zhou would be fifty. He hadn't paid much attention before, but now he noticed that Su Zhou's temples had turned white.
Although the face still looks young, the drive and spirit that belong to young people have been lost in the eyes.
"Take good care of yourself."
He simply mouthed a few words, then immediately turned his head away, no longer looking at Su Zhou.
He stepped into the fighter jet, composed himself, and piloted it away, gradually becoming a small black dot and disappearing from everyone's sight.
Su Zhou kept watching Su Qiluo's fighter jet until the black dot completely disappeared before he moved his stiff body, which had been stiff from maintaining one position for so long.
His eyes welled up with tears, and he quickly looked up, but couldn't help but smile.
He saw what Su Qiluo had said to him.
...
Mytel, in the castle of Christensen.
The room was completely dark, with only a bed and a chair inside. A woman lay on the plain white bed.
Chris sat in a chair, swirling a tall wine glass in his hand, completely hidden in the darkness.
"Hmm..."
There was finally some movement on the bed. Chris looked up, swirled the glass in his hand, and the red wine sloshed around, making a soft clinking sound.
"Awake?" He raised his eyes and looked at the person on the bed.
"Crimson?" The person on the bed suddenly sat up, but before he could lift his body much, the rope on his wrist pulled him back down.
Ling Rui looked at the rope binding her that extended from the bed and tugged at it in confusion, but the rope seemed to be filled with cement and she couldn't budge it no matter how hard she pulled.
"Crimson, what are you doing!"
She glared angrily at Chrison, who was hiding in the darkness, and shouted angrily.
But Chrisson continued to leisurely swirl the wine glass in his hand, watching Ling Rui who was still struggling, and even took a leisurely sip of red wine.
"Crisen, you deserve to die! I'm telling you, let me go right now, and I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise, I won't let you get away with this!"
"You won't let me go?" Hearing this, Chris finally turned to look at her, and scoffed disdainfully, "You think you can?"
Ling Rui frowned. "Crimson, I'm your colleague. If Wang finds out, you..."
“You’re still bringing up the King?” Krissen interrupted her. “Do you really think that lame excuse you and Mu Qingyun came up with can fool anyone? Believe me, even if I kill you today, the King won’t investigate.”
Upon hearing this, a flash of panic crossed Ling Rui's eyes. "Is that so? Since the King doesn't trust me, then the King should judge me personally, not you to deal with me as you please!"
“But you’re in my hands now.” Krissen curled his lips. “You don’t have any family influence. Even if you suddenly die, only the King will give you a token investigation.”
I used to think you were useful to Mytel, so I didn't intend to force myself on you. But since you're a spy sent by Capação, killing you wouldn't matter much.
"You idiot, I've done so much research for Mytel, and you're going to force me to be a spy just because of a mole sent by Capa Dome?" Ling Rui was panicking inside, but on the surface she remained calm and confronted Chrison.
Upon hearing her words, Chrison merely gave her a cold glance. "Have you ever heard the saying?"
Ling Rui: "?"
"Better to kill a hundred innocent people than let one guilty person go free." Chris slowly put down the wine glass in his hand and walked slowly to the bedside. "Mu Qingyun ran away, and I have nowhere to vent my anger, so I can only take it all out on you."
What are you going to do?
Seeing Chrison getting closer and closer to her, Ling Rui started to panic. She struggled to break the rope binding her hands, but the rope was too strong and she couldn't break free at all.
You'll find out in a moment.
Krisson grinned with a familiar roguish smile and gently touched her hair. "Everything you're about to face is thanks to Mu Qingyun."
He moved his hand down and grabbed Ling Rui's neck, not forgetting to manipulate her at this moment, "If Mu Qingyun hadn't run away, I wouldn't be treating you like this. She could have taken you with her, but she left you here alone."
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you think I'm an idiot, that I can be manipulated by a few words from you?" Ling Rui could guess what was going to happen next. She had heard a lot of rumors about Chrisson, and she knew very well what would happen to a woman who fell into Chrisson's hands.
It's okay, just think of it as being bitten by a dog.
"Heh, but she did leave you here all alone, didn't she?" Chrisson hadn't expected Ling Rui to be so clear-headed. After spending a few days with Mu Xueyao, he almost thought everyone was as easily swayed as that good-for-nothing Mu Xueyao.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you're going to do it, then do it!" Ling Rui's eyes showed a hint of impatience. She knew in her heart that it was her own choice to stay, and it had nothing to do with Mu Qingyun.
"Tsk."
Upon hearing this, Chris stopped talking and simply leaned down and pressed down on him.
