No matter how much she called her and shook him, the man did not respond .
Huo Chen approached her and looked at Gu Jinzhi’s body . His face turned solemn as he looked toward Wen He .
She looked white as a sheet and was shivering violently .
He whispered hesitantly, “He is already…”
Dead .
Wen He did not seem to hear him . She slowly lifted a hand and put it near Gu Jinzhi’s nose .
There was no breathing .
Gu Jinzhi…
You lied to me .
You promised that you were only getting some rest .
“Oh…”
Wen He tasted something metallic at the back of her throat . In the next moment, she vomited a mouthful of blood .
Everyone around her watched in horror as she slumped to the floor unconscious .
“Wen He!”
“Ma’am!”
Huo Chen helped her up . He was shaken when he noticed that her breathing was shallow .
“Song Shou, pack our things . We are going back to base!”
He carried Wen He in his arms and took one last look at Gu Jinzhi before he looked away sadly . “Take his body with us, be careful with
it . ”
“Yes sir!”
The troop marched back toward their camp .
Two hours later, they finally arrived .
Huo Chen promptly arranged for a medical officer to see Wen He .
Even though he was lacking rest himself, Huo Chen did not retire immediately . There was still work to be done .
The war was over . Z Country had suffered losses, but T Country’s military base was destroyed by the explosion and their commander captured by Huo Chen .
It was a solid victory for Z Country!
The world was shaken by the outcome of the
war .
Both countries were evenly matched and the victory had been a close one!
As a powerful nation, T Country’s military had undeniable prowess . However, their devastating loss was testimony to Z Country’s superiority .
After the outcome of the war was made public, Z Country gained a higher status on the international stage .
Citizens of Z Country cheered with joy and celebrated like it was the event of the year . The military was pleasantly surprised .
Huo Chen detailed everything about the war in the report .
When the military higher-ups found out about the traitor, they were livid .
However, when they realized that the main reason they won the war was because of the woman called Wen He, they felt conflicted .
It was a fact that Wen He contributed to their victory .
She was the reason Z Country ended the stalemate between both countries and won the
war .
When Huo Chen was done writing reports and settling his men, two days had passed .
Wen He never came to in those two days, so Huo Chen had to bring her back to the military headquarters unconscious .
During the flight back, Wen He woke up .
“Gu Jinzhi!”
She woke up screaming his name and sweating heavily . After quickly scanning her surroundings, she removed her blanket and got out of bed barefoot .
Just as she opened the door and dashed forward, she hit a fleshy barricade .
Huo Chen hugged her tightly . Whatever fury he had against her evaporated instantly when he saw her frantic eyes . Instead, he felt worried of her .
“Wen He . ”
“Huo Chen, where is Gu Jinzhi? Where is he?”
Huo Chen opened his mouth hesitantly before deciding to speak the truth . “His body was sent back to our country two days ago . ”
Wen He’s knees gave way as she slumped to the floor . Her eyes dimmed, robbed of hope .
She looked around her in a daze .
“Is he… really dead?”
“Yes . ”
The truth was cruel .
As a man of the army, Huo Chen had witnessed many deaths .
After he joined the military, he had come to recognize the cruelties life .
