Chapter 996: Bow
“Three.”
Someone had already shouted “Three”, but it seemed like someone was stuck in his throat and he could not speak further.
All the soldiers were not aiming their rifles at her now. They merely stuck their heads out and stared at An’an dazedly.
She was... the Blood Eagle’s... fiancée?
Everyone knew about the Blood Eagle. He was a legend in the military. But the Blood Eagle was an aimless child who wandered on the streets.
He was not as fortunate as any of them.
They could wear military clothes, but this was a dream that he would never ever be able to attain. Blood Eagle was only a moniker and nobody ever knew his real name. He was a person that everyone knew but nobody truly knew him.
An’an said these words in a tinkling but strong voice. Every word she said pierced right through the heart.Vissit for updates
They seemed to see another shadow in this girl. This shadow was donned in black and he gradually disappeared in the darkness.
All the soldiers glanced at each other with eyes that were filled with unshed tears.
Chen Jin’s gaze was deep and he pursed his lips. “Young lady, please come with me,”
...
An’an arrived at the General’s office and breathed a sigh of relief. Actually she was fearful.
“General, greetings to you. My name is Gu An’an.” An’an introduced herself.
Chen Jin looked at An’an’s pretty eyes which exhibited unexpected courage and bravery. He smiled and pointed to the sofa. “An’an, please take a seat.”
“Thank you, General, but I will just stand here. I won’t beat around the bush. I hope that General can investigate the theft case that Lu Yan’s father was involved in twenty odd years ago. Although I don’t have any evidence to prove his innocence, I know that the record of this case has been removed. General, may I know what kind of people would be able to tamper with the record?” An’an asked.
Chen Jin glanced at the secretary and the secretary promptly answered, “Miss Gu, only the... General can have access to the record.”
What?!
An’an’s pristine eyes narrowed immediately and she looked at Chen Jin. That would mean to say that only Chen Jin could tamper with the record.
Faced with An’an’s shocked expression, Chen Jin drank a mouthful of tea leisurely, looked up and said smilingly, “Why? Are you suspecting me?”
An’an promptly straightened herself. “I wouldn’t dare to!”
“I see that you are very daring.”
“...”
Chen Jin placed his cup down and issued orders to his secretary. “Investigate this matter thoroughly. Firstly, find out who touched the record, and secondly, investigate everything about this case that happened more than twenty years ago.”
“Yes, General.”
The secretary left.
Chen Jin looked up at An’an. “I still thought that chap, Lu Yan, would be lonely all his life. I’ve never imagined that there would be a young lady by his side.”
She was kidnapped for four days. This Lin Shun was so useless and could not do anything to save her. It was Lu Yan who kicked open the door of the dilapidated warehouse and rescued her, thereby giving her a chance to survive.
She would not deceive herself. She loved Lu Yan.
She was very scared now and she wanted so much for him to accompany her. His strong arms and broad shoulders could shelter women from any wind or rain, rendering a strong sense of security.
Lu Yan’s patience had reached its limits. He withdrew his hand forcefully from Qianqian. Without giving Qianqian another look, Lu Yan stuck one hand into his pocket and walked away.
Lin Shun, who could only wait behind, promptly walked ahead and embraced Qianqian. “Qianqian, I...”
Qianqian pushed Lin Shun away immediately. “Get lost!”
Qianqian looked at Lu Yan’s retreating back with eyes shimmering with tears. They were filled with an increasing admiration and obsession towards Lu Yan.
...
Lu Yan returned to An’an’s room but when he pushed the door open, it was empty.
He asked a nurse, “Where is she?”
“Sir, Miss An’an was already discharged two days ago.”
Lu Yan promptly knitted his brows. She had actually left the hospital without saying anything to him.
He promptly took out his cell phone from his pocket. There were neither messages nor calls. She had not attempted to contact him these two days.
This little rascal!
He dialed the familiar number.
Soon later, the call was picked up on the other line.
“Hello, Ah Yan.” An’an’s sweet voice came through the phone.
Lu Yan pursed his thin lips and asked in a low voice, “Where have you scampered to?”
“Ah Yan, I’m at the airport. Come and fetch me.”
What? She had actually gone overseas?
“Wait right there!” He put his cell phone away.
...
Half an hour later.
Lu Yan walked into the arrival hall of the airport, but he instantly sensed something was amiss. It was silent in the airport and there was not even a passenger.
His brown eyes promptly glinted with astute vigilance.
At this moment, he heard a flurry of footsteps. Someone was here. Or more than just someone.
Lu Yan looked up to see a squad of uniformed soldiers marching out. They stopped near Lu Yan and executed a military bow respectfully.
After that, Chen Jin came out and stood in front of everyone to give him a military bow.
Some moments later, a delicate figure also walked over from behind. She stood beside Chen Jin and smiled at him. Straightening herself, she also gave him a military bow.
