Xuan Zhao’s hands, which were behind her back, were clenched. “What I said is true. If you don’t
believe me, you can go to look it up.” Xuan said.
“Of course I will look it up, but…” Jingyan Ye stared at her maliciously and said, “If I find out the truth is
different from what you said, I will make you disappear from the world.”
A cold shiver ran down Xuan’s spine. For a moment she wanted to tell Jingyan the truth, but she
clenched her teeth and didn’t do that. “Mr Ye, every word I said is true. Look it up if you want. I’m going
out first.” Xuan said.
Xuan walked out of Jingyan’s office calmly and hurried back to her seat. When she sat on her chair,
she was almost paralyzed.
“He is terrible. His eyes seem to devour me. What should I do? Should I tell him the truth?” Xuan
thought.
When that idea came out, her herself negated it.
“I can’t tell the truth to him. I have such a good chance at last. How can I give up so easily? Just as the
saying goes, nothing venture, nothing gain. I will take a chance. But Jingyan just talked with the tongue
in the cheek. Did he know something?” Xuan thought.
Then Xuan suddenly thought of her ex-boyfriend. “I’d better tell him that he should say we have never
had sex if he is asked. If Jingyan knows I lost my virginity long ago, all lies will be exposed. Fortunately,
when we fell in love, my ex-boyfriend offered to live together with me several times and I refused.
Otherwise, no one will believe we haven’t had sex.” Xuan thought.
For several days, there was no progress on the investigation of what Xuan said and no news from
Yiyao Duan. Jingyan was down in the dumps and he was unable to sleep. He sent numerous
messages to Yiyao and called her many times, but he didn’t receive any reply and the phone never got
through, either powering off or not being in service area, or it couldn’t be connected.
Wearing a thin nightgown, Jingyan stood on the balcony on the second floor. He looked up at the bright
moon and said to himself, “Yiyao, is this the end of our relationship?”
On a mound in the mountain area, Yiyao lay on a boulder and looked up at the starry sky. As soon as
she went back to the army, she took her team out for training. As she was not happy, the training was
intensive. The soldiers were so tried of training that they fell into a deep sleep as soon as they closed
their eyes.
She put Jingyan’s phone number on the blacklist, but she could see his messages in the interceptor. At
first she deleted some of the messages, but then she couldn’t help but read some messages.
There were a few lines which she read with apprehension.
“I drank a lot of wine that night and I didn’t wake up until you knocked on the door. I want to ask you
how did you know which hotel and room I was?” Jingyan texted.
Yiyao read that message for a long time and she suddenly understood something. She is not stupid, on
the contrary, she is very clever.
“So the girl should have sent the message to me to ask me to go the hotel. Her purpose was to have
me see it all and break up with Jingyan. The reason is very simple. Women are willing to use all kinds
of means to be with Jingyan, such an excellent man, no matter for the sake of his appearance, or his
money.
But even if the message was from the girl, they did have sex.
Yiyao wouldn’t forgive Jingyan for that alone.
The moon is bright at night, especially on such a quiet mound.
After training in the mountains for more than half a month, Yiyao received an order. She was ordered to
bring the team back immediately to perform a special and rigorous task.
Zhuque moved nearer to Yiyao and asked, “Captain, what’s the task?”
“I don’t know.” Yiyao said.
“Last time we went to the iceberg, and will we be asked to go to a sea of fire this time?” Zhuque asked.
Yiyao took a look at him and said, “You are not a firefighter. Why should you go there?”
“Oh, that’s right.”Zhuque said.
After sitting back to his seat, Zhuque saw Xuanwu, who was next to him, stare at the phone and giggle.
Zhuque gave Xuanwu a slap on the head and said, “Stop it. You’ve seen that picture a million times.
We are know you have a girlfriend.”
“I like to see the picture of my girlfriend. Do you have a girlfriend?” Xuanwu said.
After hearing that, Zhuque was depressed. Putting on a long face, he moved nearer to Yiyao again and
said, “Captain, didn’t you say you will organize some blind dates? Why there is no progress of that?”
Yiyao looked out of the window and said, “It’s under preparation. It will be held as soon as the task is
over.”
“Really? That’s nice.” Zhuque said. Then Zhuque exchanged his experiences with others happily. Yiyao
was lost in thought. She thought if she should go to the blind date to find a boyfriend.
When it was just dark, Yiyao arrived at the military chief’s office.
“Chief!” Yiyao shouted loudly.
“Come in!” The chief said.
Yiyao pushed the door open and saluted. “Chief, Red Flame is reporting for duty.” Yiyao said.
Jun Duan beckoned her and said, “Just sit down.”
Yiyao walked leisurely to sit down opposite Jun. She then picked up a banana on the table and began
to peel it. “Chief, what’s the hurry?”
“Take a look by yourself.” Jun said.
Yiyao took the document handed over by her father and read it. Then she stood up and asked with her
eyes wide open, “Chief, is this the task?”
“Of course it is.” Jun said.
“But why should we go? There should be a lot of people around the leader.” Yiyao said.
Jun beckoned her to sit down and said, “As you are a girl, it’s more convenient for you to be with the
leader. Besides, you can’t always be on the front line. Your future physical condition will not allow you
to be on the front line even if you want to do that. This task is paving your way ahead. It’s helpful to you
to know some leaders.”
Yiyao didn’t refute, because what her father said is true. Special forces soldiers need excellent skills
and physical qualities. Although she is now unbeatable, the functions of her body will decline with age
and she will not be fit for frontline work beyond 30.
“Dad, when will we go to perform the task?” Yiyao asked.
“The others don’t need to go. You go to perform the task alone. You will go to perform the task
tomorrow morning and someone will arrange that for you.” Jun said.
Yiyao saluted and said, “Yes, sir.”
“This is a special task. You have to do everything you can to keep the lady safe.” Jun said seriously.
“I guarantee to fulfill the task.” Yiyao said with a strong facial expression. Then Yiyao said with a smile,
“Dad, I’m leaving now.”
“Stop! I haven’t finished my question. What’s the rush?” Jun shouted to stop Yiyao, who had rushed to
the door. After hearing that, Yiyao stopped reluctantly.
“Anything else?” Yiyao asked.
“You went to training after you returned from Sky City. I had no time to ask you what happened
between you and Jingyan…” Jun said.
