Chapter 356

“How could you…?” Xu Nuannuan did not continue because she was shocked.

‘Did the Commander tell him that? Impossible. The Commander is sensible and would never tell He Jingyan our identities casually.’

‘It can’t be Gong Cheng. Yangyi himself doesn’t know who he is. It doesn’t make any sense if Gong Cheng knew it.’

‘So how does He Jingyan know this…?’

Xu Nuannuan stared at He Jingyan coldly, as if she wanted to kill him. No one should ever know their special identities.

“Well, if I make the investigation on your identities according to the normal procedure, I can’t get anything. However, you seem to have underestimated me. Do you think I will stop compliantly when I encounter difficulties? Unfortunately, the more I get held back, the more I want to figure out the secret.”

He Jingyan smiled arrogantly and added, “You made a mistake of involving me, but I am grateful to you for sending Yangyi to me and making him my wife.”

‘Although I am just a chess piece in this plan, I haven’t suffered any losses. Instead, I get a wife.’

“You want to send Yangyi away? Let’s see if you have the ability.”

After he spoke, He Jingyan looked at Tank, beckoning him to burst in with his men without being so cautious.

“Yes.”

Tank took the order and beckoned the soldiers to break in.

“Ability? That’s right! What ability do we have? If we are capable, can we be bullied like this?”

Xu Nuannuan suddenly laughed at herself with a sneer, but she sounded sad.

“I have underestimated you, but how are you going to arrange Yangyi’s future life? Let him live the carefree life with the identy of your wife while ignoring us? Or are you going to help him take back what should have belonged to him and fulfill his mother’s wish?”

Xu Nuannuan smiled again. This time, she didn’t ridicule herself. She was laughing at He Jingyan’s naivety.

“As long as Yangyi is alive, he will always bear our expectations. This is the responsibility he has since he was born. Don’t think about getting rid of it.”

She turned to look at He Jingyan’s face with an impassive look in her cold eyes.

“What do you think? Are you going to give up the burden as it is too heavy?” Xu Nuannuan mocked again without giving He Jingyan the chance to speak.

He Jingyan knew how important Xu Yangyi was to Xu Nuannuan, so he would not make any promises easily before he knew all the facts. But he was determined to have Xu Yangyi.

“If Yangyi asks me to take him away, I won’t hesitate to do that.”

He didn’t give Xu Nuannuan an answer, but he was telling her that he would respect Xu Yangyi’s decision.

Xu Nuannuan paused for a moment and chuckled softly. ‘If Yangyi asks?’

She took a deep breath and looked at the middle distance. She didn’t do anything else, but stared at the vast ocean.

After a while, she said, “If you can help us, I will try to convince Gong Cheng, but I have one condition.”

“What is it?”

“You can’t let Yangyi know his identity.”

He Jingyan was startled. Wouldn’t things be much easier if Xu Yangyi knew his own identity?

“I can lick my wound alone. There is no need for him to live in hatred like me.”

She slapped away He Jingyan’s gun and rose to leave. Before she left, she said, “Yangyi fled into the sea.”

Her voice was cold, and her back looked lonely. Xu Nuannuan might love her brother, but she was disappointed in him.
