Wen He crossed her arms before her chest and her tone was certain,
Duh, he’s my man after all. Two against one, just admit defeat.

Lu Bai turned away as he was not in the mood to argue with her and stared coldly at Huo Chen.

I’ll say this for the last time, I will never accept your offer of amnesty. Go back from where you came from, you may continue to beat me up if you wish.


Xiao Bai….

Wen He panicked and as she was about to say something, Huo Chen interrupted her.



Lu Bai, let me ask you, what do you want.

Lu Bai closed his eyes, to block off the emotions inside and by the time he opens it again, his eyes were determined.
I want to kill Xiang Jinxi in revenge for Ol Jiu, and then live a life of peace and quiet.


Very good.

Huo Chen nodded, as his pearl-white finger nails tapped against the chair’s armrest, his dark eyes glimmered.

I can tell you straight away, I dared to promise your acceptance of the amnesty on your behalf to Commander Yang, is because I am capable of allowing you to achieve your goal. As long as you accept our offer, I can help to to achieve both of that.


You? With what?

Lu Bai sneered.
The matter of the amnesty itself runs against what my goals are.

Once he falls into the hands of the military, he could no longer act as he wished.
How does he exact vengeance for Ol Jiu? And how does he get to live the life he wants after that?

First, based on Xiang Jinxi’s character, he would drive himself into a corner sooner or later, you don’t have to worry about exacting vengeance on him.



Huo Chen’s expression did not change. He continued slow and steady,
Secondly, the amnesty is just temporary, once I gain another rank, I’ll immediately release you. And no one will stop you regardless of where you want to go. OF course, that’s incumbent on you not having anything to do with weapons here on out.

It was a rare occasion when Huo Chen spoke so much as his pace was slow and steady, but yet the impact of each word was a hammer blow, striking against Lu Bai.
His heart was beating fast and a tinge of wavering appeared in his eyes.
Wen He too was astonished.
She never thought that Huo Chen would use such an unconventional way to convince Xiao Bai.
She had to concur, he was very good at latching onto someone’s weakness.
And those words were much more effective compared to any reasoning or threats.
Huo Chen looked at Lu Bai and perceptively caught the wavering in his gaze. His calm voice had a power to compel someone to trust him.

Lu Bai, you are a smart person. Compared to being locked behind bars for the rest of your life not being able to accomplish anything, you should know what’s more beneficial for you.


…..



Lu Bai hands started clenching, a conflict started in his mind.

Trust me.

Finally, Huo Chen only said two words.
Lu Bai looked up towards Wen He with conflicted eyes.
Wen He nodded immediately at him.
I trust him.

And this moment, she was not trying to convince Lu Bai just to not drag Huo Chen down, rather she was really convinced by Huo Chen.
He was right, compared to being jailed for life, or to be on the run for life, might as well place her trust in Huo Chen.
If she does not fight, who knows what sort of tomorrow awaits them?

Fine.

Lu Bai stared at Huo Chen with gritted teeth as he finally relented.
I agree to it.



But he then changed the topic, with a tone of caution, and said,
But, if I find you going back on your words half way through, don’t blame me for going back on mine. If you piss me off, at most we’ll all just die, and neither of us gets anything out of this!

As he heard that, before Huo Chen could say anything however, Wen He had already slapped his shoulder.

Xiao Bai, trust my judgment of character. He is my man after all, a man I slept with before.
