Chapter 788: 788、She is my Wife

The citizens might have welcomed him as a hero but it did not mean the military would treat him the same. The moment Huo Chen checked in at the gate to the camp after an hour of driving, he was immediately summoned to the commander’s center.

Yang Yi’s furious eyes pierced through the shade under his cap as he sat next to the panel of military commanders the moment Huo Chen came in.

“Huo Chen!” He slammed the table, screaming, “Are you aware of your own mistake?”

“Yes.” Huo Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

“…” It was unexpected that Huo Chen would confess so quickly. Yang Yi did not know how to respond. There were fine scars that sullied Huo Chen’s face, probably from the operation. Seeing them, Yang Yi could not help but sigh, “Huo Chen…You have always been our pride in the military. You did not disappoint me in the operation this time but why could you not hold back your fury at the very crucial time? Have you forgotten the most important thing of being a soldier?”

Huo Chen stayed silent.

“You might have been a great fighter, you might have had a painful plight to handle but you are a soldier. And we, soldiers obey orders for our country!” Yang Yi spoke gravely, “Sha Kang will be dead anytime soon, why do you have to kill him yourself?”

Huo Chen was quiet for the next minute. It took him strength mustered over the flight to phrase his conflicting emotions into legible words, “I just wanted to do something for her.”

She’s a shameless woman who could not take a single bit of loss. What kind of man I am if I could not even avenge her? 

“PREPOSTEROUS!” Yang Yi slammed the table again, “It’s just a woman. A woman with a horrible record too! I can’t believe you just destroy your own career over a woman from a terrorist group! Huo Chen, are you insane?”

“She…” Huo Chen’s words froze as Wen He’s voice rang in his head.

[What am I to you?]

“She’s my wife.”

“…” Yang Yi was bewildered as he backed off, “Don’t tell me…you are real over Wen He…”

Huo Chen did not respond to him and only to give him a formal salute, “General Huo Chen has gone against the military order. Any form of punishment is accepted!”

“You!” Yang Yi could not believe his ears. The missing logic in Huo Chen. He nearly wanted to shoot the man down with his gun. It took him a while to calm down, “You have done great in the operation this time. The military intended to promote you as a Lieutenant General but you have also gone against the order. The head hereby decided to not pursue you on your mistake. There won’t be promotion, however.”

“Also…” Yang Yi paused with helplessness in his eyes.

“I’ll let you calm down a bit. Have a long vacation.” Everyone on the table could tell Huo Chen’s misery.

“Thank you, sir!” Huo Chen marched out of the base camp and headed to the residential building nearby.

The janitor laughed loudly upon seeing the handsome man returning .

“Sir, I have heard the news. You have won a huge war! My son saw you on TV that night, he adores you like a legend. He even wanted to join the military just to be your henchman!”

Huo Chen did not reply as he stormed into his room.

“By the way, where’s your wife?”

“I thought she did join the operation with you. Where is she?”

“…” Huo Chen’s fingers quivered as they pinched the sofa by the door.

“Well…I got to cook. See you next time.” The lady janitor quickly left.

Huo Chen stared at the lamps on the ceiling as the darkness and silence engulfed him. It was to an extent that the vibrating phone could not call him back.
