Chapter 170: Retrieving Something

She could tell that the grudges Huo Yingcheng had for He Niancheng must have accumulated for quite some time, which was probably why he couldn’t hold back after getting drunk.

Gu Qingjiu felt that the intense atmosphere inside the car had lowered down as Huo Yingcheng continued basking in his own joy.

In the end, Huo Yingcheng even pestered Gu Qingjiu about her opinion of He Niancheng.

Gu Qingjiu didn’t make a single sound for a long time. Before Huo Yingcheng could urge her, she heard a cold snort from beside her.

“When a superior asks you, you should reply immediately!”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

This question concerned her life and death!

This was the hardest question she had faced ever since her rebirth.

Which was why against Huo Yingcheng’s continued pestering, Gu Qingjiu simply tensed up as she replied, “Chief Instructor is a good person!”

After all, in her heart, he was still an angel.

“...”

The corners of He Niancheng’s mouth seemed to twitch a little.

And Huo Yingcheng said something unbelievable again.

“Good person? I think girls like you are all too mesmerized by his handsome face that you forget that this world is much scarier. Have you seen him kill...”

‘Thump!’

Before Huo Yingcheng could even finish speaking, He Niancheng’s hand swiftly reached out at a speed Gu Qingjiu couldn’t even catch.

She only vaguely realized that He Niancheng had his hand tightening around Huo Yingcheng’s throat, so much so that he couldn’t even breathe. Huo Yingcheng’s sturdy body fell back onto the backseat.

The car fell completely silent.

It was originally a rather relaxing atmosphere, but because of Huo Yingcheng’s unfinished words, the shock caused cold sweat to envelope her.

She didn’t utter a single sound and instead just looked down, looking like she was trying to avoid the elephant in the car.

What Commander Huo was trying to say couldn’t be that the Chief Instructor had killed people, right...?

In their society, which was strictly governed by laws and morals, Gu Qingjiu had never encountered something of the likes.

At most, those were things she only saw on the news or the internet.

But for soldiers, these situations existed. At certain times, they would have to decide if they didn’t want to.

And at the KTV earlier on, she heard Huo Yingcheng shout ‘Major-General.’

Gu Qingjiu finally understood that the Huo Yingcheng who always joked with them and the unsmiling He Niancheng might really not be ordinary people.

It appeared she entered some forbidden territory without realizing.

But now, she couldn’t show any signs of awkwardness.

The air in the car seemed frozen. The silence also brought about a feeling of oppression, but then she heard He Niancheng’s indifferent voice. “He’s drunk.”

As if he was explaining or hinting at something.

Gu Qingjiu understood right away. Straightening her back, she nodded. “I understand, Chief Instructor.”

And silence fell upon the car again.

They drove to an unfamiliar place at the city center of Dayi City where there was an incredibly ordinary looking retail store.

And it had a signage stating that it sold different jewelry.

And it was still open.

There were a few similar shops nearby. Gu Qingjiu saw a fifty to sixty-year-old person inside the shop.

When the car pulled over at a parking lot outside, Gu Qingjiu looked towards He Niancheng.

He Niancheng’s locked his gaze at the store in front of them, and he pursed his lips. “Go down and say that you’re here to collect something. Mention Huo Yingcheng’s name, but don’t say mine.”

Although Gu Qingjiu didn’t understand it fully, she did not question it and got out of the car immediately.

She was still clad in her casual attire, so she looked ordinary. After she had entered the shop, the old man’s rough voice sounded. “What are you looking for, young miss?”
