Ji Fengyan laughed.
“If we go now, I am afraid that we can never find out the truth.”
Lu Shaoqing remained silent. Song Yuan had made the necessary preparations. All evidence would be wiped out the moment they leave.
“Song Yuan would constantly be on his toes every day that we remain here.” Ji Fengyan yawned and walked into the room. “We will just wait and see how things go.”
“Yes.” Lu Shaoqing nodded.
On the other hand, Song Yuan had led his men back to his residence. The gentleness on his face had faded. He had everyone leave and entered his study alone.
Inside the study, an exceedingly handsome man was sitting behind a desk. A pair of long, slender legs was propped up on the table.
Song Yuan shut the study doors the minute he saw that man. His face took on a severe expression.
“What the hell are you doing? The military are here—don’t you know how to restrain yourself?” Song Yuan was extremely upset.
The man gave a faint smile. He crossed his hands behind his head and gazed at the ill-at-ease Song Yuan. “Restrain? Shouldn’t you be thanking me? The citizens are now full of animosity toward the Wolf Smoke Regiment. I am sure they will find the coming days hard to bear. They will be gone before long. Rather than have them here and interfering with our plans, it’s better to have them leave under duress as soon as possible.”
Song Yuan glared at the man. “Easy for you to say. Although that Ji Fengyan is young, she is extremely composed. Did you not see how she was not the least bit panicked when face to face with that crowd of suspicious citizens. Since His Majesty dares to send such a young girl onto the battlefield—it must be because she is capable. If not, how do you think Ji Fengyan could become a General at the mere age of 15?!”
The handsome man couldn’t help chuckling at Song Yuan’s increasingly angry expression.
“It’s precisely because she is not your usual teenage girl that I carried out this ruse. She had initially planned to leave those two children in Ping City, but suddenly changed her mind after meeting you. Song Yuan, I am afraid that you have already unwittingly given the game away. She has long been suspecting you.”
Song Yuan looked increasingly ill. Glaring at that man, he suddenly sat down on a chair with his fists quietly clenched.
The man removed his legs from the table and sat up straight. “No need to brood over this. To be honest, our boss already has a plan. We had originally wanted to take advantage of this three-army battle to kill Ji Fengyan. But now that she has come to Ping City, plus she is already suspicious of you—why not take this chance to get rid of her? Not only will this resolve your dilemma, you will gain brownie points with our boss. Isn’t that a win-win situation?”
Song Yuan frowned. “Although Ji Fengyan is young, she is still a Terminator. How easy do you think it is to kill a Terminator? You are definitely trying to do me harm!”
“Harm you?” The man suddenly got up and walked before Song Yuan. He narrowed his eyes. “Song Yuan, if not for me, you would have already died then. Why? Are you scared? Scared of a mere Terminator? You are the same as before—still terrified of Terminators. Think carefully, your secret will be revealed as long as she is alive. After so many years, do you really want to die in the hands of a Terminator?”
