Chapter 796 - Mrs. Zhou, You Are Getting Jealous (1/2)

“Major General!” Xiao Zhi and Ah Chen took a step forward.

Zhou Yao quickly sucked the poison out, and Han Xuan’s lips turned red again. Her pale face was back to normal. She sat up and said, “Older Brother Zhou, are you still okay? You are too foolish. I did not need you to do that for me. The war that we are having against Scorpion has yet to end. I am not impactful enough. You’re the one, Older Brother Zhou…”

Zhou Yao waved his hands, and his expression was all calm as he said, “Your body is weak and is unable to take it. I can bear with it for a few days. Act hastily and look for the cure now. Don’t prolong this matter any further.”

“Okay.” Han Xuan had no other choice but to nod her head.

Xiao Zhi suddenly let out an “Ah!” and said, “Major General, Older Sister-in-law is missing now.”

Zhou Yao turned his head back again, and there was nothing there. He did not see Leng Zhiyuan around anymore.

His large palms that he drooped by his sides were clenched into fists. That damned woman deserved to die!

…

The next morning, everyone gathered together to eat breakfast.

Leng Zhiyuan walked into the living room. Director Wang immediately addressed them and said, “Miss Leng, quickly come over to eat breakfast, and you can sit down…beside Major General Zhou.”

She had a look at her surroundings, and it was really true that there were no other empty seats left. She did not try to act coy, and she sat down right by Zhou Yao’s side.

Zhou Yao’s nostrils were immediately filled up with the fragrance of her hair. His right hand that was holding his chopsticks froze, and he did not raise his head up as he softly said, “Did you have a good rest yesterday?”

Leng Zhiyuan had a mouthful of porridge and said, “I did. I escaped death. I am extremely thankful for that.”

Zhou Yao snorted and said, “If I really wanted to kill you, do you think that you were able to escape?”

Leng Zhiyuan huffed. She had to have a try to know. She lifted her chopsticks up and went to get the steamed bun placed in front of her.

But her chopsticks got into a fight. Zhou Yao had also stretched his chopsticks over.

“You can have it.” He took his chopsticks back.

“There is no need. Major General Zhou should eat more. You should eat however much you are able to eat right now.”

Zhou Yao’s gaze turned sharp. Why was this woman’s mouth so stubborn? Was she cursing that the poison would come into effect as soon as possible for him?

He stretched his left hand out and held her right hand firmly in his palm. He lowered his volume and said, “You know her identity. I cannot allow her…”

“That’s enough!” Leng Zhiyuan took her hand back as she said, “These are Major General’s personal matters, and you don’t have any need to report to me!”

She stood up immediately and headed outside. “Ah Chen, help me to scoop a bowl of porridge. It is hot inside. I want to go outside to have a little bit of the cool breeze.”

“Yes, Young Miss,” Ah Chen answered.

Zhou Yao stared at the woman closely as she left. He harshly slammed his chopsticks on the table and stood up to leave.

“Major General, you have not eaten your breakfast…”

“I am not eating anymore!” He was already full of anger.

Zhou Yao walked outside. He was frustrated as he used his leather boots to kick the pebbles by his feet. He fumbled through his left pocket and did not find any cigarettes, and he let out a soft curse.

His mind was all full of Leng Zhiyuan’s small face, and she was so cold as she looked at him, as she looked at him and Han Xuan…

Han Xuan was Han Hong’s younger sister.

It was only like that.

“Major General!” Ah Dong ran over to him in a hurry as he said, “Miss Xuan Xuan has given us a secret message. Scorpion’s people are already in the mountain cave base in the South, and we can get them all in one shot.”

And following that, Leng Zhiyuan guzzled a bowl of porridge, Director Wang ran out in a hurry as he said, “Miss Leng, there is a situation. Let’s gather quickly.”

…

The groups of people immediately gathered in the mountain cave in the south. Zhou Yao took a torch in his hand and went inside first. The mountain cave was wet and damp, and it was obvious that someone had tried to renovate the place.

“Someone was here before,” Ah Chen whispered to Leng Zhiyuan.
