Chapter 885: 885
If she murdered someone and got caught, there would be no more pardons waiting for her ever again .
Wen He looked at him coldly and pursed her lips . “Then I’ll find him myself . ”
One day, she would locate Lin Yuntian .
Then… then she would kill him .
That was her promise to Gu Jinzhi .
“Wen He!”
Huo Chen raised his voice and pulled at her arm .
He looked into her clear and determined and exhaled slowly . Then, he pressed his hands on her shoulders .
“Remember, even if you are no longer a soldier, it does not mean that you can go around killing people . I know what you’re thinking, let me take care of this . ”
Wen He was taken aback and felt touched by his offer .
“You?”
“Just leave it to me . ”
“Alright . ”
After Gu Jinzhi’s death, Wen He became less impulsive and no longer act recklessly as she would before .
She was more open to ideas other than her own . If Huo Chen was willing to help, she should give him some faith .
“I trust you . ”
Huo Chen looked at her for a long moment before striding away .
He acted swiftly . Three days later, the news reported that a batch of medical supplies provided earlier by the Lin family was problematic and nearly caused the death of a few soldiers .
The military was outraged and declared Lin Yuntian a wanted man . The latter was lying low in his mansion in a secluded neighbourhood, but was soon caught and sent to prison .
He was sentenced to life in prison .
Wen He was not pleased . She had wanted to kill the man .

Huo Chen explained that some people were best left alive and suffering than dead .
Wen He considered his words and thought that they made sense . Death was a quick and simple ending, but life was so much more frightening .
The days passed by quickly . Soon, the past felt like a distant memory .
Huo Chen performed well in his duties and was promoted to lieutenant general .
Unlike Wen He’s ceremonial rank of second lieutenant, the promotion ceremony for him was grander in scale .
It was carried out in the main building of the military headquarters . It was attended by all high-ranking officers from the army, marine and air forces .
Even the old Chief of Defense, who had not made a public appearance for a long time, came to present Huo Chen’s new badge to him personally .
Wen He attended the ceremony as well .
Time heals all wounds .
The wound in her heart was healed, but the scar would remain there forever .

She got a front row seat for the ceremony, thanks to Huo Chen calling in favours .
Wen He looked at Huo Chen on stage in his smart military uniform, now adorned with a different badge on his shoulder . She saw the golden medal on his chest in recognition of his notable work in the military and felt happy for him .
Huo Chen was most definitely the youngest lieutenant general in the country since its inception .
He was so handsome!
After the chief of defence presented his badge and medal, he stepped away and left Huo Chen alone on stage .
Huo Chen took a sweeping glance of the audience cooly . His eyes lingered on Wen He’s face .
Wen He noticed it and smiled back at him .
Huo Chen was moved, but did not react outwardly .
As was protocol, he started by expressing his gratitude and loyalty to the military .
When he was done, the audience applauded thunderously .

“Finally, I would like to thank someone . ”
Huo Chen added abruptly, bringing the end of his speech to an unexpected turn .
He spoke solemnly, but his gaze was gentle and warm, in contrast to his cold profile .
“Without her, I would not be here today . She is more important to me than my life . ”
The audience gasped in surprise .
Wen He was taken aback as well .
