He’s crazy!
Wen He scowled at him . Under Gu Jinzhi’s encouraging gaze, she replied slowly, “I am just worried for him . ”
She had to see him with her own eyes to believe that he was truly safe .
“As for whether he will acknowledge my feelings is his own business and none of mine . ”
“Tsk tsk . ”
Gu Jinzhi rested his head on one hand and crossed his legs like a dandy millionaire, belying the gears moving inside his head .
He teased gently, “How touching . Huo Chen doesn’t want you, and yet you want to go to him despite the dangers in the road ahead . Shall I give you a war flag before you enter battle?”
Her sentimental mood was gone . Wen He narrowed her eyes and laughed good-naturedly .
“What about you? You know exactly how dangerous it is and yet you chose to follow me . Gu Jinzhi, honestly speaking, are you my secret admirer?”
Cough!
Gu Jinzhi coughed midway through his drink .
Luckily, Wen He moved fast enough to avoid getting wet . She eyed him with ridicule .
The man simply pulled a face and looked like he was greatly offended by her suggestion . He did not even deign to reply to her .
Satisfied, Wen He pulled out her eye mask and said, “Enough talking, I’m catching some shut-eye . ”
The scoundrel had to be treated like one, or he would push her buttons even more .
Wen He was keen to get some rest and she fell asleep very quickly .
By the time she woke up, they had arrived in South City .
They alighted the plane and were greeted by a car waiting for them .
Wen He was pleased by the arrangements and thought it was a great idea for bringing Gu Jinzhi along .
If she had come here by herself, there would be a lot more hassle .
Gu Jinzhi seemed to have noticed her thoughts . He took a side glance at her and looked utterly pleased with himself as well .
“Now you know what I am good for, right?”
“It’s the only thing you are good for,” Wen He replied with characteristic sarcasm .
After a few hours of driving, the scenery outside grew wild and desolate .
Gu Jinzhi studied their surroundings and said, “We are now at the defense front line . Another two hours and we will be able to see the border . Huo Chen’s army should be camped there, but we will be passing through many customs stations and lookout posts before you see him . ”
“I see . ”
Wen He felt anxiety creeping onto her . After a long silence, she looked at Gu Jinzhi with unusual gravity .
“Gu Jinzhi?”
“Hmm?”
“You should go back . ”
Wen He sounded resolute . “I am very grateful that you sent me all the way here, but the front line is a very dangerous place . I’m not even sure if I will survive this, much less keep you safe . Besides, there is really no reason for you to be dragged down with me . ”
“You’re right . ”
Gu Jinzhi stared into her eyes for a few moments before saying, “Here it comes . ”
“What?”
Before Gu Jinzhi could explain himself, a bullet hit the rear windshield with a loud thud .
Fortunately, their 4WD was specially modified to navigate uneven terrain and survive bullets and shells .
The rear windshield spotted a shallow scratch but was otherwise fully intact .
“What’s that?!” Wen He was taken by surprise . “This is still Z Country territory, why are the enemies here?”
Even as she was speaking, men dressed like locals came out from both sides of the roads, armed with guns .
They aimed at their car’s tyres and started shooting .
