Yang Yi waved his men away as he looked at Wen He through the piles of doc.u.ments on his desk.
“Yes, Miss Wen He, how may I-”
“Either you permit me to go to the boundary straightaway or you cut the military c.r.a.p of cla.s.sification and tell me about Huo Chen… Else…”
She backed off and looked around while grinding her teeth, “I’m staying here.”
They exchanged looks for a moment before Yang Yi sighed helplessly and pointed at the chair in front of his desk, “First, have a seat.”
Wen He sat down, trying to act calm even though she was warring on the inside, antic.i.p.ating his answer.
The man placed down his ink pen and initiated, “Miss Wen He, I cannot allow you to go to the warfield now. If you want to know about Huo Chen, we are still fighting now. Both armies are equally strong, even though we are slightly disadvantaged due to geographical layout.”
He sighed before continuing, “The weather isn’t helpful either. During the storm—well, Huo Chen was injured.”
“Injured?” It was a word that almost gave her a heart attack. She slammed the table as she stood up, storming to the door “Screw the permit. I’m going now!”
“GET BACK HERE, LADY!” Roared Yang Yi, “Wen He, your ident.i.ty has been exposed and now if you are joining the military, the soldiers will not remain silent. It will affect their spirits to fight!”
“Do I care?” Wen He was agitated as her eyes were reddened by her tears, “I’m going for Huo Chen, no matter what!” She sobbed and a moment later she kneeled down on one knee.
“Commander Yang, I beg you. Please let me find my man. Don’t worry. I will not cause any trouble to the army. You just have to permit me to leave. Whether I die or I survive at the warfield, it’s my own problem. Please, I beg you, sir. Please!” She forsook her pride, her tenacity and pleaded probably the first time in her life.
“…” It was a shocking sight. Being a strong, proud and hot-tempered woman, Yang Yi never expected her to do it. Putting down her pride and begging for help were probably the last thing he would imagine her doing.
His panel of senses was demanding him to refuse the offer yet he still struggled to utter the answer.
Eventually, perhaps it was his sympathy, he said it with a nod, “Fine—I’ll permit you.”
“Thank you, sir! Thank you!” Having heard the approval, Wen He was overjoyed.
“I’ll inform my men. I’ll tell them that you intend to repay your sin by working for the military. From today onwards, you’ll be a soldier. You can go for Huo Chen after the doc.u.ment is done.” Yang Yi gasped, feeling complicated, “I’ll form a team to escort you there while I’ll order Huo Chen to welcome you instantly.”
“Cut the welcome part.” Towards that, Wen He refused the offer, “He would not agree with me visiting him. He might even send his men to stop me. Also, a team to escort me is not needed. Since I’m still traveling in Country Z, I’m secure. I’ll contact him once I arrived by the boundary.”
“That works too.” Yang Yi agreed without a single thought that the criminal would run away.
“Thank you, sir! Thank you so much!” Wen He bowed formally and sprinted her way out.
And from then on, Wen He’s trip to the war field had been confirmed.
The military was as efficient as its commander. She got her identification on the same day—the doc.u.ment that confirmed her as the soldier working under Huo Chen.
Back at the apartment, she hurriedly picked a few clothes from her wardrobe and threw a few tools into her bag along with toiletries, as well as the map Yang Yi gave her.
She locked the door and headed out, only to b.u.mp into a wild-looking mountain truck.
