Chapter 878 - You Lied to Me

Chapter 878 You Lied to Me
No matter how much she called her and shook him, the man did not respond.
Huo Chen approached her and looked at Gu Jinzhi’s body. His face turned solemn as he looked toward Wen He.
She looked white as a sheet and was shivering violently.
He whispered hesitantly,
He is already…

Dead.
Wen He did not seem to hear him. She slowly lifted a hand and put it near Gu Jinzhi’s nose.


There was no breathing.
Gu Jinzhi…
You lied to me.
You promised that you were only getting some rest.

Oh…

Wen He tasted something metallic at the back of her throat. In the next moment, she vomited a mouthful of blood.
Everyone around her watched in horror as she slumped to the floor unconscious.

Wen He!


Ma’am!

Huo Chen helped her up. He was shaken when he noticed that her breathing was shallow.



Song Shou, pack our things. We are going back to base!

He carried Wen He in his arms and took one last look at Gu Jinzhi before he looked away sadly.
Take his body with us, be careful with
it.


Yes sir!

The troop marched back toward their camp.
Two hours later, they finally arrived.
Huo Chen promptly arranged for a medical officer to see Wen He.
Even though he was lacking rest himself, Huo Chen did not retire immediately. There was still work to be done.
The war was over. Z Country had suffered losses, but T Country’s military base was destroyed by the explosion and their commander captured by Huo Chen.
It was a solid victory for Z Country!


The world was shaken by the outcome of the
war.
Both countries were evenly matched and the victory had been a close one!
As a powerful nation, T Country’s military had undeniable prowess. However, their devastating loss was testimony to Z Country’s superiority.
After the outcome of the war was made public, Z Country gained a higher status on the international stage.
Citizens of Z Country cheered with joy and celebrated like it was the event of the year. The military was pleasantly surprised.
Huo Chen detailed everything about the war in the report.
When the military higher-ups found out about the traitor, they were livid.
However, when they realized that the main reason they won the war was because of the woman called Wen He, they felt conflicted.
It was a fact that Wen He contributed to their victory.


She was the reason Z Country ended the stalemate between both countries and won the
war.
When Huo Chen was done writing reports and settling his men, two days had passed.
Wen He never came to in those two days, so Huo Chen had to bring her back to the military headquarters unconscious.
During the flight back, Wen He woke up.

Gu Jinzhi!

She woke up screaming his name and sweating heavily. After quickly scanning her surroundings, she removed her blanket and got out of bed barefoot.
Just as she opened the door and dashed forward, she hit a fleshy barricade.
Huo Chen hugged her tightly. Whatever fury he had against her evaporated instantly when he saw her frantic eyes. Instead, he felt worried of her.

Wen He.




Huo Chen, where is Gu Jinzhi? Where is he?

Huo Chen opened his mouth hesitantly before deciding to speak the truth.
His body was sent back to our country two days ago.

Wen He’s knees gave way as she slumped to the floor. Her eyes dimmed, robbed of hope.
She looked around her in a daze.

Is he… really dead?


Yes.

The truth was cruel.
As a man of the army, Huo Chen had witnessed many deaths.
After he joined the military, he had come to recognize the cruelties life.
