Chapter 862: 862
Wen He thanked the officer and continued ahead with Gu Jinzhi . They passed through a few more lookout posts and were thoroughly inspected and searched before they finally reached the huge encampment at the border .
By then, it was already late at night .
“Identify yourselves!”
Wen He had just stepped out of the car when she found a few dozen gun barrels pointed straight at her .
She was about to call Huo Chen’s phone when she noticed Song Shou walking past with a pile of documents in his arms .
Her eyes lit up as she waved at the man . “Song Shou!”
The man in question looked up at the mention of his name .
He was greatly surprised to see that it was Wen He and dashed toward her while signalling the guards to lower their weapons .
“Ma’am, why are you here?” He asked urgently in a whisper .
“I’m here to see Huo Chen . ”
Wen He looked around and saw soldiers everywhere in the camp . The atmosphere in the base was tense and made her feel wary .
“Where is he? Tell me!”
Song Shou opened his mouth hesitantly but did not reply .
“Tell me now!”
Wen He panicked and grabbed him by the collar . “Where is he? I heard from Yang Yi that he is injured . Is he in recovery now? You must take me to him!”
“I’m afraid that is impossible,” Song Shou answered and shook his head . “Half an hour ago, he received word of an attack from the enemy and left to handle them . ”
“What?! He’s still injured!”
Song Shou stayed quiet . No one could force the major general to change his mind .

He led Wen He and Gu Jinzhi to the center of the base and assigned a room for them to rest .
“Ma’am, the major general’s room is right next to yours and the operations room is on the opposite side . I will have someone inform you when he is back, until then please have some rest . ”
Wen He wanted to say more, but she noticed Gu Jinzhi hinting at her and assented quietly with a nod .
“Alright . ”
After that, Song Shou left them to attend to his duties .
Wen He sat on the wooden bed and her mind went blank .
Gu Jinzhi saw her pitiful state and raised an eyebrow . “He’s still alive, isn’t that good news?”
“You’re right!” Wen He slapped herself out of it . “That should be enough!”
She was very worried, but she managed to stay calm and wait patiently in her room until Huo Chen’s return .

Nevertheless, after two days, Huo Chen did not return .
Frustrated by helplessness, Wen He stayed awake until late at night, when there was suddenly an outburst of joy and cheering in the base .
“The major general is back! We’ve won!”
Wen He leapt out of bed and rushed out of her room .
However, the base was too crowded for her to spot Huo Chen .
After failing multiple times to push her way through the crowd, she retreated quietly to the sidelines .
Later, the crowd gradually dispersed and Wen He finally saw Huo Chen .
He was dressed in a cammie and covered in splotches of mud .
The heavy downpour in recent days got him drenched and left him in a sorry state .

Nevertheless, he maintained a professional and steady look on his face and kept his back straight, like a rifle that would not bend under pressure .
So long as he was with the army, they would obliterate anyone in their way .
Emotions overwhelmed her as she finally set eyes on him .
“Aren’t you going to him?”
Gu Jinzhi asked cooly .
For some reason, the close proximity between them made Wen He hesitant .
“I’m going back . ”
She bit down on her lips and was about to turn away .
Just then, Song Shou spotted her .
“Ma’am!”
Wen He looked up and straight into a pair of calm eyes…
