They never stood a chance .
“Wen He! Get back here!!”
Huo Chen tried to force the cell bars apart in a frenzy . He struggled like a mad animal that was trying to break free of its cage .
However, no matter how hard he pushed and pulled, the bars remained rigid .
“Wen He, I’m warning you, if you do this, I will never forgive you!”
Wen He paused mid stride, but only for a moment before she ran out of the building .
Once outside, she accidentally tripped on a rock and fell on her back .
Wen He did not instantly get up to her feet . Instead, she lay on her back and started pounding the ground with her fists by way of venting her dismay .
“Why, why, why!” She sobbed .
Why would the world do this to her?!
She had only been with Huo Chen for a few days .
Why was she thrown from the happiest moment of her life to the deep end of misery and agony?
Did god have a grudge against her?
“Ma’am?”
Song Shou came running and saw that she had fallen, so he quickly helped her up to her feet .
She looked deeply frustrated with the fate she was dealt with, but there was nothing she could do . Song Shou felt sorry for her .
However, no words could make her feel better, so he merely assisted her into the car without a word .
Wen He covered her face with her hands and cried silently .
Song Shou opened his mouth but could find no words for her, so he sighed and drove her back to her house .
Wen He staggered into her house like a woman who lost her soul .
Despite Song Shou and Auntie’s concern for her, she sat alone and did nothing else for the rest of the day .
At night, two uninvited guests came to visit her .
Lu Bai and Gu Jinzhi entered the house one after another and noticed Wen He sitting on the sofa like a lifeless puppet .
Lu Bai was agitated . “How did this happen? Who told on you?”
He would rip the person responsible apart!
Wen He shook her head mechanically .
“I don’t know . ”
“I do . ”
After Gu Jinzhi said that, Lu Bai immediately turned toward the man . Even Wen He looked up at him .
Gu Jinzhi did not keep them guessing . “My investigations revealed that the person who leaked the information is probably my dear brother… Lin Kang . The Lin family has done business with the military for a long time . It should not be too difficult for them to acquire such intel . ”
“It’s him!”
Wen He finally knew was behind this .
No one in the military except the higher level staff knew about her marriage with Huo Chen .
Lin Kang probably pried information out of one of them and spread the news through the web and media .
Since he had no evidence, it created only harmless rumours .
However, Huo Chen’s marriage proposal in the airport brought more attention to the issue .
Rumours could turn into something more threatening . The military had to provide an explanation to the public .
“I am sorry for getting you in trouble . ”
Gu Jinzhi said with unusual solemnity .
“Lin Kang must have associated you with the events that day and developed a grudge against you too . ”
“That’s not entirely what happened . ”
Wen He shook her head and replied with cold detachment .
“Your brother is an obstinate and petty man . He must have hated Huo Chen for announcing the cancellation of the Lin family’s contract with the military in front of all the guests . Moreover, I had taunted him that day as well . It is no wonder that he seeks for revenge on us both . ”
