Hello, sir. Your eyes are still sharper than ever, I see,
Wen He said gleefully in her black suit as she took off her sunglasses. She was surprised for Huo Chen being able to recognize her even under such camouflage.
Great nights don’t always last. So, where shall we go tonight?
She winked at Huo Chen through the rear mirror playfully.
Huo Chen pinched between his brows and took a deep breath,
Stop and get out of my car.

Well, Huo Chen was no longer in that position to command somebody.

Aw, sir. You were this pushy last time too. The good old days. Never once I thought you would end up in a soon-to-be bankrupt dumpster company like this. I feel the agony in you,
she replied, biting her lip, disbelieving that Huo Chen actually quit his military career just to stay in such a broken company.
Like seriously, when were you decommissioned? And why are you here in this crackpot company? Your position now isn’t helpful to my plan! 


She sighed,
I suggest you go back and be that prospective general like you were in the past. Your nature isn’t meant to be contained in a concrete building like this. I’m serious!

If I wasn’t a wanted criminal by the forces, I would really drive him back to the military right now! 

Time seemed to have frozen the moment she felt something thrusting the back of her head—a muzzle, particularly.

Hey, hey, big man. Calm down. Okay?
Her hands quivered.

Stop the car.


Alright, alright.
She gulped and slowed down.
Jesus Christ, Huo Chen is still harsh towards women! 

The car slowed down and eventually stopped under a huge tree where flocks of pedestrians passed by. It was a safe spot to halt as Huo Chen would not want to cause a commotion by executing her.

Get out now.
He would not let Wen He go that easily if he was still in his uniform.
Wen He unfastened her seatbelt and turned slightly to feel the pistol on her neck.



Oh, sir, aren’t we good old buddies? Do you have to be this worked up?
As she uttered her words, she made a quick turn at her wrist to wrap upon Huo Chen’s, pulled his arm to her and made a deep bite.

Yeouch!
She snatched the gun away.
Okay, threat eliminated. All clear.

Wen He wiped her lips and confiscated the gun. She gave a friendly smile,
Really, calm down. I just want to treat you dinner tonight.
She fastened her seatbelt and ran the car down the road again.
Huo Chen, rubbing his aching arm, sat back cooperatively. Never once he expected Wen He to actually launch her fangs at him.

Wen He, are you here for revenge? You don’t have to put up a show like this to kill me.

She shook her head, 
Don’t mistake it. I wouldn’t dare to even take out my gun. Nobody will cover for me if I killed you.


…

I have no idea what this woman wants from me. Ugh, I’ll just keep quiet for the moment. If anything goes wrong, I’ll knock her out and send her to the police. 

He was then brought to a rather exquisite-looking hotel. In bewilderment, Huo Chen exited the car and was going to flee yet Wen He seized his arm endearingly like a lover.
How sweet!
One of the strangers muttered by the road, when in reality Wen He was hauling the man into the restaurant.


They were then led to a spacious room carpeted in pink with a long rectangular table where they sat at each shorter end like a formal course. A pot of roses was placed at the center along with a row of lighted candles and courses. Everything felt uneasy under the flickering flame of candles.
Huo Chen hardly moved his fork, his eyes fixed upon her,
If you think seduction will work on me, you’re wasting your time. Don’t even think about it.


H-E-L-L-O, do you think I arranged these just to seduce you?

For Pete’s sake, I just want a private room for the both of us. Nobody asked the receptionist to get us candles and roses! 

For Lu Bai, Ol’ Jiu as well as my own future, I already planned to offer myself to get the deal done. And at this very crucial moment, you decided to leave the military. What now?

Cut the cackle. Why are you here?
Huo Chen took out his mobile phone to check the time. He had better call Yang Yang instead of wasting time on this woman. He then put down the phone but the screen was still on. He used the photo of Lu Zhaoyang hugging Little Huo Xu in her arms as the lock screen.
Wen He’s eyes landed on the phone but before she could see it clearly, the phone screen had timed out.

Go back and be your major-general. Ol’ Jiu and I can handle the dirty jobs ourselves. But after that, you must leave us alone and never again put us on the wanted list. How is that?
Wen He thought for a moment and said without beating around the bush.
They had this relationship when Huo Chen was still in the army. Things only turned sour when Ol’ Jiu fired a shot at Lu Zhaoyang at Mu Xuan’s wedding and was caught red-handed by Huo Chen’s men. After that, not only did their cooperation broke down but Huo Chen had also disappeared following the incident. It was thought that Huo Chen had gone back to the capital but in fact he had actually retired from the army.



We have been working together smoothly all this while until the accident. I have left darkness for light; would you give me a chance?
Wen He poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Huo Chen.

Do you think that I can return to the army on a whim? This is not child’s play.
This woman was naive, Huo Chen thought.

It might be difficult for others, but you are the second son of the Huo family. Is returning to the army not a piece of cake?


I am sorry. What is done is done. To apologize, I would finish the meal with you.
Huo Chen picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
Realizing that she could not convince him, Wen He gulped down her drink.
Huo Chen, you were the youngest major-general of Z Country; why did you choose to leave?

Huo Chen did not respond.

All you know is eat. Could you say something?
Upset, Wen He kept popping her drink. At the end of the dinner, she was already drunk.

I am done. Please excuse me,
Huo Chen said.
As Huo Chen wiped his mouth with a tissue paper and was about to get to his feet, Wen He dragged her chair with her and lunged at Huo Chen, pushing him back down. Their faces were inches apart from each other and she reeked of booze.
Huo Chen, it is okay if you don’t want to rejoin the army, but can you help me once with your connection? After that, we will have nothing to do with each other again. I am tired of changing my cover identity every week.

Huo Chen stared at Wen He, who was three sheets to the wind. His body stiffened and was motionless with his face cold.
It is not under my control anymore,
he said.



I don’t believe that you could not find a solution; after all, you have served and sacrificed so much for the country.
Wen He leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered into his ear,
I am willing to accept the unspoken rules—even repay you with my body—if you agree.


No thanks, you are not my type.
Huo Chen knitted his brows together, knowing that this woman would only get more unruly and cling to him if he got a harder stance. So, he tried not to throw a wobbly by tilting his head away.

Huo Chen, Sir…
Wen He badgered Huo Chen. He was a hero, and she was a beauty; there was a saying that goes ‘Hero is always a prisoner of love’—she did not believe that Huo Chen could resist her.
Huo Chen looked out of the window beside him; if Wen He tried to push her luck some more, he would have no hesitation to throw her out of the window.
