The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

“Should we change our plan now? We can’t get rid of Xu Yangyi through regular methods now, and we might be no match for him even if you and I work together. After all, he just beat Tank at the training field there. And the colonel likes him so much and is always with him. How should we execute our plan in that way?” Inside the arsenal, Wei Wei lowered his voice and talked to the man beside him as he acted like he was arranging the ammo. He was also checking on his teammates around him regularly as if he was afraid of them to find out what he was saying.

The man across Wei Wei didn’t respond immediately, it was not until a while after did he finally say, “I’ll see, and I’ll inform you as soon as we make a change of plan.” The man left for something else the moment he finished.

Gazing at the back of the man, Wei Wei seemed to be worried.

‘I’m really worried about 009. He could probably survive if he is only being interrogated, but the thing I’m worried about is that the warden Zuo Bo might torture him. That guy is heartless and cruel; he is famous for that even at our place. Plus, he is a friend of the colonel. 009 might not be able to get away with the pain and lashing this time.’

The more he thought about it, the more wary Wei Wei became. His breath even became heavier as he thought so. Just as he was about to take a breath, someone suddenly patted him on his shoulder. Wei Wei was scared; he didn’t let out a sigh of relief until he looked back and found out it was Yan Chengyu. He patted himself on the chest and smiled, “Ah! It’s you, Yan Chengyu! You got me this time.”

“Or who else do you think it is?” Yan Chengyu smiled amiably, “An upright man isn’t afraid of anything, or, did you do something shady secretly?” Yan Chengyu joked about it and then helped with the ammo arrangement. But under his smiling face, he was secretly observing every move of Wei Wei out of the corner of his eye.

Wei Wei had his heart in his mouth when he heard what Yan Chengyu had said. To cover up his panic, he changed the topic right away, “Have you finished your work there?”

Though he was asking that on the surface, Wei Wei was still being defensive against Yan Chengyu deep down inside because it was also Yan Chengyu who suddenly appeared behind him at the training field and he hadn’t had a clue about it. If it wasn’t for the sudden appearance of An Yan, he could have reported the information and revealed his identity.

‘Did… Yan Chengyu find out something? Is he suspecting I am the spy?’

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Wei Wei got. He broke out in a cold sweat all of a sudden. The man who had just left was also staring at Yan Chengyu at somewhere not so far away; he seemed to have the same guess as Wei Wei had.

As for Yan Chengyu, he had already captured all the nervousness and fears that Wei Wei just showed. But he didn’t scare him anymore; he replied normally to the question earlier instead, “Yep, I’ve finished my work there. I just saw you were still busy here, so I decided to come over and help you out.”

Yan Chengyu sounded like he was really just here to help Wei Wei and there was nothing strange with what he just said. Hearing that, Wei Wei was a bit stunned. Deep down inside he thought to himself, ‘That’s right, there’s no way that I’m exposed already. I must be overthinking.’ He then thanked Yan Chengyu right away and felt a sudden relief from the stress.

The man who was standing not far away saw Wei Wei’s reaction and seemed to have also relaxed with him.

‘So it’s just Wei Wei being way too suspicious? But that also makes sense. That Yan Chengyu is only a rookie who has just enrolled. How can he possibly pay attention to our movement. It looks like I’m also being way too nervous over this.’

The man shook his head and then left for his own business.
