996 Bow (1/2)
”Three.”
Someone had already shouted ”Three”, but it seemed like someone was stuck in his throat and he could not speak further.
All the soldiers were not aiming their rifles at her now. They merely stuck their heads out and stared at An'an dazedly.
She was… the Blood Eagle's… fiancée?
Everyone knew about the Blood Eagle. He was a legend in the military. But the Blood Eagle was an aimless child who wandered on the streets.
He was not as fortunate as any of them.
They could wear military clothes, but this was a dream that he would never ever be able to attain. Blood Eagle was only a moniker and nobody ever knew his real name. He was a person that everyone knew but nobody truly knew him.
An'an said these words in a tinkling but strong voice. Every word she said pierced right through the heart.
They seemed to see another shadow in this girl. This shadow was donned in black and he gradually disappeared in the darkness.
All the soldiers glanced at each other with eyes that were filled with unshed tears.
Chen Jin's gaze was deep and he pursed his lips. ”Young lady, please come with me,”
…
An'an arrived at the General's office and breathed a sigh of relief. Actually she was fearful.
”General, greetings to you. My name is Gu An'an.” An'an introduced herself.
Chen Jin looked at An'an's pretty eyes which exhibited unexpected courage and bravery. He smiled and pointed to the sofa. ”An'an, please take a seat.”
”Thank you, General, but I will just stand here. I won't beat around the bush. I hope that General can investigate the theft case that Lu Yan's father was involved in twenty odd years ago. Although I don't have any evidence to prove his innocence, I know that the record of this case has been removed. General, may I know what kind of people would be able to tamper with the record?” An'an asked.
Chen Jin glanced at the secretary and the secretary promptly answered, ”Miss Gu, only the… General can have access to the record.”
What?!
An'an's pristine eyes narrowed immediately and she looked at Chen Jin. That would mean to say that only Chen Jin could tamper with the record.
Faced with An'an's shocked expression, Chen Jin drank a mouthful of tea leisurely, looked up and said smilingly, ”Why? Are you suspecting me?”
An'an promptly straightened herself. ”I wouldn't dare to!”
”I see that you are very daring.”
”…”
Chen Jin placed his cup down and issued orders to his secretary. ”Investigate this matter thoroughly. Firstly, find out who touched the record, and secondly, investigate everything about this case that happened more than twenty years ago.”
”Yes, General.”
The secretary left.
Chen Jin looked up at An'an. ”I still thought that chap, Lu Yan, would be lonely all his life. I've never imagined that there would be a young lady by his side.”
”General, is it because Lu Yan doesn't like your daughter, Qianqian, and that's why you are being so sarcastic?”
”…”
This young lady was so protective of her husband!
”Qianqian likes Lu Yan and I have intentions of making Lu Yan my successor.” Chen Jin did not evade the topic and shared his thoughts.
An'an did not evade the topic either. She looked straight into Chen Jin's eyes. ”I'm sorry, Lu Yan will definitely reject your daughter.”
There's no happiness in forcing things. Chen Jin smiled.
He looked at An'an's eyes. He did not know why, but he felt that An'an's eyes looked a little familiar.
He seemed to have seen them somewhere before.
Realization dawned on him.
”An'an, how old are you this year?”
”21.”
21?
Chen Jin suddenly recalled some events that happened 21 years ago. That year, he had met with an accident.
He was taking on an undercover assignment. The criminal mastermind had brought him to a bar and he was drugged.
After that, he slept with a woman.
That woman was very drunk and the room was very dark, but as an outstanding soldier, he was able to discern the face in the darkness. He saw the woman's face and remembered her eyes.
