BXBX NOVEL Chapter 730 - Is This…. A Joint Hearing or Something?
Knowing that they would worry, Huo Chen purposely took a few hours out to prepare to pay a visit back home.
As he was just about to leave, he ran into Wen He.
“Huo Chen!”
Wen He came running over hurriedly like a miniature warhead, and immediately grabbed onto his arm. “You’re going to the Golden Triangle?
“Yes.”
“Are you out of your mind?” Wen He was anxious, “You know how dangerous that place is right? And the people there are very xenophobic, while they may fight among themselves tooth and nail, but if there is an external threat they will all come together. Plus you are not familiar with the geography there, are you simply going to your doom? If you want to go, I’ll go with you!”
And no one could talk her out of this!
Huo Chen was calm as ever, and shut her up with a single sentence.
“You are expected to go.”
“...”
Wen He pouted, but did not retort. “Okay.”
As long as she could tag along.
After settling that matter, Wen He calmed down, and threw him a glance. “What are you doing now? Where you going?”
“The Huo manor.”
“Let’s go together then.”
Wen He seemed to have forgotten the unhappy parting with him earlier, and happily latched onto his elbow, and got onto the reinforced Humvee with him.
After an hour plus journey, the vehicle was stopped in front of the old Huo manor.
As they got down and headed into the hall, they were immediately put in the spotlight by multiple gazes.
On the sofa, not only was Madam with a heavy face, even Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting had rushed over from Jing City.
“Is this...a joint hearing or something?
Huo Chen made a rare joke.
“Chen!”
Lu Zhaoyang wanted to dash over, but was pulled back by Huo Yunting, and fell into his arms.
He coiled his arms around her slender waist, and looked lazily at Huo Chen. “Since you’re already here, sit down and talk then.”
As Huo Chen and Wen He sat down, Madam walked over and sat beside him. Grabbing onto his hand, her face was worried.
“Chen, you had only just returned to duty not too long ago, and you had just married. Why are you going for this dangerous mission? I won’t allow you to go, I will call Commander Yang and get him to switch!”
“Mother.”
Huo Chen resignedly patted her hand.
“A military order, once given, cannot be go against. Don’t worry, I’ll come back alive.”
Madam had the glint of tears in her eyes.
“Bullets knows no friend or foe, who knows what will you run into this time around? You escaped death just by a strand last time, and you want me to suffer the pain of seeing my son dying before me?!”
“Mother...”
Huo Chen wanted to say something else, but Lu Zhaoyang suddenly asked something.
“Is this your own decision?”
“Yes.”
“If that is the case, I won’t bother telling you otherwise.” Lu Zhaoyang forced herself to smile, her eyes slightly red, and her voice a little hoarse as well. “We will wait for you to return. You will return, right?”
“Yes.”
Huo Chen stared deeply at her, and image appearing in his mind.
A few years back, he had undertook the mission to destroy the Pan-European gang, and had to leave her.
She too had said something like this, and his thoughts then was him coming back, and marry her.
Yet that scene, seemed so distant now.
Huo Chen’s eyes glimmered, his expression more stoic than ever, as if trying to give a vow.
“I will return. Trust me.”
“Yeah.”
Lu Zhaoyang wanted to say something more, but suddenly she felt something tugging her waist, and she fell right into Huo Yunting’s arms. Her delicate face showed full on anger.
