Chapter 377

“Any progress on the investigation?” In the car, He Jingyan, who was holding Xu Yangyi in the back seat, asked Long Chen, who was driving.

“I’ve made a thorough investigation. Our country is going to dispatch troops to support Country Z. Decision has not been made on who will lead the troops, so I helped you make an application.”

“Okay, I got it.”

While Xu Yangyi was unconscious, He Jingyan had been cold, totally differnt from his usual self. Or perhaps this was the real him.

“Do I need to make the arrangement in advance?” Long Chen knew that He Jingyan was cautious, so He Jingyan would definitely tell him to do this.

“I’ll leave it to you. Report to me when you are done.”

“Okay.”

Their conversation was business-like without any emotions. The current situation prevented them from laughing like before.

“If only your wife could see your face now. I wonder if he would be surprised.” Zuo Bo in the passenger seat put his long legs in front of the windshield and looked back at He Jingyan, shaking his legs leisurely.

Long Chen gave Zuo Bo a warning look before He Jingyan replied.

“What’s wrong? I can’t make my comments? It’s not a big deal. Why do you look frightened? It’s not at all like the normal you.”

He didn’t say to Long Chen but He Jingyan behind him.

“Tell me, what am I usually like?” He Jingyan asked him coldly.

“You look confident, not frightened like now.” Zuo Bo answered lightly. He didn’t look back at He Jingyan. Instead, he looked outside.

He Jingyan suddenly froze. ‘I am frightened?’

“In the past, no matter what happened, you always sneered and enjoyed seeing the enemy dying in your hands. But now, you look desperate as if your fangs have been pulled out.”

Zuo Bo continued. He meant Xu Yangyi had taken the edge of He Jingyan, who got too cautious and timid.

“I don’t know what happened to your wife, but if you continue to act slowly, you might as well quickly make it done. The longer you delay, the more dangerous it gets for your wife. Don’t be afraid of every step you take. Just act as you like when it’s necessary. Although your dad says he won’t help you, he is your father and will work for your own good.”

Long Chen had been listening to the conversation in silence. He agreed with Zuo Bo that He Jingyan had indeed become too cautious because of Xu Yangyi.

“Although he usually says awful things, I agree with him this time. Don’t restrain yourself too much. In the past, you would not spare people like Gong Cheng today, no matter who he is.”

Long Chen spoke tactfully because he was afraid to hurt He Jingyan’s feeling, but He Jingyan suddenly smiled, “Don’t you guys worry too much about me? I have my own reason to keep Gong Cheng alive. He owes me a favor, and later he has to return it.”

“A favor?”

Zuo Bo and Long Chen were puzzled.

“You will know later. It’s not fun if I tell you now.”

Zuo Bo and Long Chen suddenly smiled. “It’s typical of you.” He Jingyan always had something up his sleeve.
