Chapter 95: Fiercely Protective of His Wife
In the army of the imperial capital.
after hanging up the phone, Gong Siming put Zhang Qilin’s mobile phone into his desk drawer and locked it up. He found it both funny and annoying.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
He had no choice but headed back to the interrogation room with the former.
They waited there for a whole afternoon, and Si Yue finally showed up with a hiking backpack. At the sight of Yue, Zhang Qilin involuntarily flinched but was pushed forward by Gong Siming.
“Grill that man with Yue!” Gong Siming fixed his eyes on Zhang Qilin and spoke in a very serious tone.
Before Zhang Qilin could decline, Yue had agreed readily, “Rest assured, no one could keep his secret from Ghost Mansion and me.”
Gong Siming patted Zhang Qilin on the shoulder and asked with a smile, “Yue has made her statement, what about you?”
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Qilin’s face, and he didn’t sound as calm as he used to be, “Yeah, sure.”
Yue felt Zhang Qilin was avoiding something. It should have something to do with her.
However, apart from comradeship, they didn’t have any personal ties. Besides, it had been three, four years since they met last time.
She could ask him about it after the prisoner gave away useful information which was their priority.
Yue nudged the dazed man, “Ghost Mansion, time to go.”
Zhang Qilin nodded his head awkwardly and then followed Yue into the interrogation room.
The prisoner was still in a coma. Yue walked up, examined carefully, took out a silver needle from the back of his head, and handed it to Zhang Qilin.
When their fingers contacted, Zhang Qilin felt nervous and couldn’t help clasping his hand. What he felt was a stream of gentle and warm strength.
Yue’s hand was grabbed firmly, “Ghost Mansion, given your condition, you should take a rest.”
Following her words, Yue drew her hand out and spread her palm, unveiling a shiny silver needle.
Zhang Qilin turned around and walked out of the door. Indeed, his condition was not suitable for the task. The moment when he closed the door, he thanked Yue.
After that, Yue took out various instruments from her backpack, including silver needles, daggers, and other rarely-seen items. The strange instruments alone would send shivers down people’s spines.
Although the prisoner closed his eyes, his violently shaking body betrayed his fear.
Sometimes, it was not the cruel torture but one’s reputation and weapon that eroded the will of her enemies.
Especially, those mysterious figures or things tended to frighten people.
“Do you want to wake up by yourself, or let me help you?” Yue’s voice was pleasant yet murderous.
The prisoner immediately widened his eyes as if he feared Yue didn’t notice.
“You’re from Country C? You do have guts!” Her cold tone made the prisoner sweat profusely.
Yue, aka Devil Incarnate, helped Country C squash the revolt, end the civil war, and save many innocent people from death!
When she put on a pair of gloves slowly and gracefully, the prisoner became more and more upset.
“Do you tell me now, or try my instruments first?” Asked Yue with a smile.
Through the surveillance, Gong Siming and Zhang Qilin witnessed the whole scene. It was wise to ask Yue to deal with criminals from Country C. Her presence was a kind of psychological and physical torture itself. In front of the monitor, both men felt shivers down their spines.
How did it feel like to be tortured by the god one had faith in? No one would like to know.
In Si’s house.
as soon as Si Wan returned home, she heard the little kid calling for his mom. Although he didn’t cry, his incessant clamor upset her.
In a hurry, Si Wan called Yue, but no one answered the phone.
In desperation, Si Wan had to call Gong Siming and learned Yue was in the army. Since the woman couldn’t head back home soon, Si Wan had to take the kid there.
Fortunately, in summer, it was not dark around seven o’clock.
As soon as the kid heard he would be taken to his mother, he sat obediently in the back seat for children.
Over one hour later, Si Wan finally took the kid to the periphery of the army base, but a sentry intercepted them.
Si Wan tried every possible way to persuade the man, but he wouldn’t allow her to drive through.
Si Wan had to get off. To meet Gong Siming, Si Wan changed into a light blue floral dress that set off her perfect figure.
In the sentry’s mind, though, this woman came to seduce their chief.
“Hello, could you help inform Gong Siming that his wife is here.” Si Wan said very politely.
Unexpectedly, the sentry gave her a contemptuous look, “Too many women try to build connections with our marshal. You are the first one bold enough to claim that you are his wife. We have never heard he has a wife. You’d better leave!”
Given Gong Siming’s character, Si Wan understood the man would keep her presence from those guards. Anyhow, out of her respect for soldiers, Si Wan still explained patiently.
“It’s normal that you don’t know. Actually, it’s my first trip here. Please help deliver a message. When Gong Siming comes out, he will prove that I’m telling the truth.”
The guard looked at Si Wan with ridicule, “Our marshal will not take a fancy to such a wanton woman like you!”
“Wanton?” Si Wan glanced at the soldier helplessly. Was she wanton by just wearing a dress?
“You are a soldier and should show some respect!” Si Wan was a little pissed.
“Mama, mama…” The kid’s cry came out of the car.
Si Wan went to soothe the kid and shouted at the sentry impatiently, “Tell Gong Siming to come out!”
Hearing her rude cry, the sentry stepped up to stop Si Wan, which completely irritated her.
More soldiers were attracted here by the noise. At the sight of Si Wan grappling with the sentry, they rushed up to stop the dispute and subdue Si Wan.
Under the siege, she feared the kid would be scared, thus going berserk. All by herself, she led the soldiers to a place ten meters away from the car.
Driven by her rage, Si Wan knocked down all the defiant soldiers with bare hands.
As soon as Gong Siming heard that a woman broke into the army with a kid and was subdued by the guards, he left his post and rushed out.
Pulling a long face along the way, Gong Siming was finally relieved to see the soldiers lying on the ground and Si Wan holding the child.
He rushed to Si Wan and saw blood on Si Wan’s body!
Gong Siming was so furious that his slanted brows furrowed, and he glanced at those soldiers with blazing eyes. Awed by his stateliness and coldness, they didn’t even dare to breathe freely.
“Expel them from the army and cripple their hands. How dare you hurt the marshal’s wife!” His icy voice frightened everyone.
No one dared to challenge his fierce protection of his wife.
