78: Chapter 78: Won’t I Be Beaten to Death If I Go Back?
Yunlie hastily said to Pei Yuexuan, “Go away.”
Pei Yuexuan was puzzled.
What was the Lord Commander so angry about now?
Seeing that Pei Yuexuan was still standing there stunned, Mu Yunlie hurriedly tried to roll up the car window, pretending not to know him.
Yan Qianyi strode over, opened the passenger door, and sat in the car.
She had unexpectedly burst into Pei Yuexuan’s line of sight.
Pei Yuexuan was stunned.
He looked at Yan Qianyi, then at Mu Yunlie.
the Lord Commander was driving Yan Qianyi to the Military Academy for her exam?
And he was even acting as her driver?!
Yan Qianyi wasn’t in a good mood at the moment.
Noticing a stranger outside the driver’s window, she furrowed her brows slightly, looked towards Pei Yuexuan, and was about to ask if they knew each other.
Pei Yuexuan hastily pulled out a cigarette and said to Mu Yunlie in the car, “Brother, got a light?”
Hearing this, Yan Qianyi’s puzzled expression in her brows faded, and she turned her gaze away from Pei Yuexuan.
Pei Yuexuan let out a huge sigh of relief.
Good thing he had reacted quickly.
Addressing the Lord Commander as a brother, wouldn’t he be killed when he got back?
When he took the lighter from Mu Yunlie, Pei Yuexuan’s hand was slightly trembling.
After lighting the cigarette, he quickly stepped back onto the sidewalk, pretending to smoke and wait for someone.
At that moment, the gate guard came over, fiercely tapped on the driver’s door, “You can’t park here!
Who told you to stop here?”
Seeing this, Pei Yuexuan’s legs went weak from fear, and he hastily called out, “Xiao Li!”
The gate guard Xiao Li turned and saw Pei Yuexuan, immediately adopting a humble demeanor with a welcoming smile, “Vice Officer Pei, you haven’t left yet?”
Pei Yuexuan was also a graduate of the Federation Military Academy, and now that he had risen to be the Deputy Officer by the Commander’s side, he was a celebrity at the Military Academy, and the idol of countless junior brothers and sisters.
On the school’s wall of fame, his photo hung in the central spot.
So Xiao Li recognized him.
“The new student doesn’t know the school’s rules.
You need to teach patiently, what are you being so fierce for?” Pei Yuexuan rebuked, “If others didn’t know, they might think that we at the Federation Military Academy are all as arrogant as you, only bullying newcomers!”
“Understood, Vice Officer Pei; I’ll know for next time!”
“There is no next time!
Go apologize to them right now!” Pei Yuexuan said sternly.
Daring to tap the Lord Commander’s car door, Xiao Li really must not want his head on his neck.
Pei Yuexuan was genuinely afraid Xiao Li would get him into trouble.
Just as Xiao Li was about to step forward to apologize, Mu Yunlie already rolled up the window and drove off.
At this time, the atmosphere inside the car was a bit strange.
After Yan Qianyi returned to the car, she hadn’t said a word.
Mu Yunlie stole a glance at her, wanting to ask her how the exam went.
But the low pressure emanating from her made him suddenly not know how to open his mouth.
Was it because he pressed her to enter the exam room that morning and spoke harshly, which made her angry?
Or did she mess up the exam?
Or was it yesterday’s military uniform that made her suspect his identity?
While Mu Yunlie was silently pondering, Yan Qianyi finally spoke up.
“Yesterday, you disguised yourself as a soldier.
You went to the Military Department secretly, didn’t you?”
At her words, he stepped on the brake.
“Figures.” Yan Qianyi looked at him, her tone calm but her voice heavy, “Rest assured, our relationship is merely cooperative, so I will respect your privacy and won’t pry into your business.
I have no interest in your secrets.
I want to warn you, whatever you plan to do, don’t target the Military Department.”
Mu Yunlie frowned slightly.
It seemed his identity hadn’t been exposed.
Yet, the words she spoke made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
