“All I have to know is that he is stealing the nation’s money . He’s a criminal!” Ye Yuwei burst out angrily .
Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei’s furious face and wondered if Ye Shu made the same choice back then .
“And what leverage do you have to go against him?” Gu Juexi asked softly in Ye Yuwei’s ear .
“So you hold a candle for the devil?” Ye Yuwei retorted, her eyes blazing . “You used to defend this country! Where is the Army Uncle that I knew?”
Gu Juexi flung her hand off and stared at her coldly . “Your Army Uncle died 10 years ago . ”
Ye Yuwei went silent .
“Keep your head down if you are not strong enough to fight back . It’s better for you that way,” said Gu Juexi as he switched off the lights .
Ye Yuwei was drowning in emotions she could not identify . The Gu Juexi she knew was nothing like this . Not this cold, and definitely not the type to defend a criminal . He was a warrior of this nation!
Gu Juexi walked to the other side of the bed and lay down . He would not let this nation’s money fall into the hands of criminals . Not even one cent .
Gu Juexi put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling . In the dark, he could almost see images flash there .
[Shots were constantly fired during the war .
“I am getting married after this, Captain . How much are you giving me in the red packet?” One of the soldiers, Zhao Xiaozhou asked cheekily while cleaning his gun .
“Our captain is rich . Make him give you something valuable . ” The combat medic He Liao chuckled while packing his medical bag .
“We’ve finally reached our last mission . After this, I’m going to retire and live peacefully without having to worry about losing my life,” declared the signaler, who seemed relaxed even though he was on the battlefield .
“Are you sure you can bear to leave, Shun Feng’er?” Yu Jiangqing, who was taking cover somewhere heard their conversation and teased him through the microphone .
“I have to . My wife just gave birth so I can’t gamble my life away . Can’t have my child grow up without a dad,” replied Zhou Changbing (Shun Feng’er’s real name) with a blissful smile on his face . “Make sure you all give red packets to my son when we get back . ”]
But none of them had made it back . Not even one .
Gu Juexi’s hands curled into fists . Zhao Xiaozhou, He Liao, Zhou Changbing—none of them made it home .
That war went on for over ten years .
An eye for an eye .
Sensing Gu Juexi’s unpleasant aura, Ye Yuwei glanced at him . The room was so dark she could barely see but she could feel that Gu Juexi’s body was tense .
“Gu Juexi,” Ye Yuwei murmured softly .
“Sleep now . That day will come,” Gu Juexi said cryptically and closed his eyes .
The day Cheng Jie and all his accomplices would be executed will come .
And… Ye Shu!
Ye Yuwei lowered herself onto the bed again, trying to figure out what Gu Juexi meant by ‘that day will come’ .
The room was dead silent, the only sound was the wind blowing through the trees outside the house .
The weather was gloomy the next morning .
Cheng Jie asked to meet at Qian Feng Hotel, a place where Gu Juexi was very reluctant to go .
Because there was a man there—Qian Yikun . The man who had almost put a ring on Ye Yuwei’s finger .
