Chapter 926: I Won’t Let You Die Here

Leng Zhiyuan wanted to help Zhou Yao takedown Scorpion. Scorpion was a dangerous person and should be handed over to the government for the fairest judgment.

However, after a careful examination, she realized that it’s better to stay out of it. The two of them were on a different level.

Zhou Yao and the man in black exchanged a few moves. The two of them were equally skilled. Suddenly, the man in black purposefully presented a weak spot to Zhou Yao. Zhou Yao saw it and took the opportunity to kick the man in black in the abdomen. The man in black, at the same time, struck Zhou Yao’s chest with his hand. Both of them took a few steps back as a result.

They stood steadily in the deep water, while around them water splashed everywhere.

Zhou Yao’s mouth tasted salty and sweet. He reached out his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His narrowed eyes were shining in the darkness, like that of an eagle that circles in the sky targeting its prey.

He said, “Long time no see, Scorpian. You finally showed yourself.”

The man in black coughed, and fresh blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. He manipulated his voice, for it became very hoarse, “Why? Did Major General Zhou miss me?”

Zhou Yao curled his lips, “Of course, even my dreams were all about you!”

“Ha, haha,” Scorpion laughed loudly. “What a coincidence. Me too. I’ve taken to heart the pain of losing my arm ten years ago.”

“Why not come to me if you remember the pain so vividly, Scorpian? Are you scared? You couldn’t defeat me all those years ago.”

“Of course I don’t dare to go to Major General Zhou. So I waited for Major General Zhou to come to find me. However, I waited for ten years, but Major General Zhou still didn’t find me. Who would have guessed that the one who found me today is a woman.” The man in black looked towards Leng Zhiyuan at the side.

Zhou Yao narrowed his eyes and also glanced at Leng Zhiyuan. He slowly curled his lips, “She is not your average woman. She is my woman! She might have the brain, but when it comes to fighting, she is only an amateur. So here I am.”

Those words made Leng Zhiyuan feel funny and crossed. He was the first person to call her an amateur.

However, in comparison to Zhou Yao and Scorpion, her skills were indeed mediocre.

“Haha, it seems that Major General Zhou has been living comfortably all these years.”

“Of course. And my life would be perfect after I kill you.” Zhou Yao’s vision sharpened as he said. “Scorpion, let’s fight for real. Let’s see if you’ve improved in the last ten years.”

Zhou Yao began to attack in the direction of the man in black.

Just when the battle was about to break out, a wall on the side broke down. Bam! A wave of water rushed in.

The only knee-deep water level quickly rose to shoulders-deep. And it looked like it’s not going to stop rising anytime soon. Some people were caught off guard and instantly swept away by the wave.

“Be careful!” Xiao Zhi shouted.

Zhou Yao was inattentive for a second. Then his vision blurred, and Scorpion had disappeared from in front of him.

“Damn it!” Zhou Yao wanted to chase after him.

At that moment, Leng Zhiyuan rushed forward. “Zhou Yao! ” She called out to him.

Zhou Yao turned around and made his way towards her. He reached out to touch the wound on her neck. He asked gently, “Does it hurt?”

“It’s okay,” Leng Zhiyuan shook her head.

Zhou Yao’s tensed expression relaxed. At this time, Xiao Zhi came and said with a serious expression, “Major General, things aren’t going well. We do not know where the water is coming from and if it continues to pour in at this rate, we will all drown.”

“Then we should get out of here immediately. I know where the exit is,” Leng Zhiyuan said.

Zhou Yao pursed his thin lips and said, “It’s no use. I think Scorpion has already blocked the exit. He wants to trap us all in here.”

“Major General, what should we do?”

Zhou Yao was silent for a few seconds, then he calmly ordered, “You guys wait here but give me the explosives. I know another passage. I’ll dive over now and see if I can blow up a new exit.”

“Major General, let me go,” Xiao Zhi said.

Zhou Yao glanced at him, “Not you. Even if you sacrifice yourself, you’ll end up bringing everyone with you. ”

“But Major General...”

“Zhou Yao!” Leng Zhiyuan quickly pulled him back. She looked at him worriedly and whispered, “Underwater tasks are very dangerous. There’s no oxygen mask here, so many unpredictable situations may occur. Are...you sure?”

Water droplets could be seen all over Zhou Yao’s hair. When those tiny water droplets fell from the ends of his hair onto his tough skin, he looked very ferocious. He smiled brightly as he looked at Leng Zhiyuan, “Underestimating me?”

He took the explosive from Xiao Zhi, tied it to his waist, and walked forward.

“Zhou Yao!” Leng Zhiyuan held his big palm.

She had seen many people who had gone and never returned. She was afraid that Zhou Yao would be the same. She was afraid that this may be the last time they would see each other.

Her palm was soft. Zhou Yao squeezed her small hand and turned to face her. He held her small face in his two big palms and kissed her forehead, “Don’t worry, I will come back. I promise you... I promised to treat you well for as long as you’re alive, so I won’t let you die here... Wait for me, sweetie.”

Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes felt very hot. She closed her eyes and grabbed the shirt by his waist, then nodded slowly. “Okay.”

Zhou Yao let go of her and dived into the water.

...

All the survivors stood quietly on an elevated platform, against the wall, waiting. Leng Zhiyuan watched the time passed by, and he still hadn’t returned.

She clenched her fists, feeling nervous and scared.

Xiao Zhi, who stood beside her, comforted, “Sister-in-law, the major general is indomitable. He will definitely fulfill whatever he says. Don’t worry.”

Leng Zhiyuan pursed her lips. She said as she looked into the icy cold water, “I’m no longer your sister-in-law. If you call me that, people will misunderstand.”

“No, sister-in-law. You will always be our sister-in-law. This will never change.”

Leng Zhiyuan did not respond. What about Han Xuan?

What is Han Xuan?

“Sister-in-law, ever since you left, the Major General has changed. In the past, he liked to scold us or give us a little kick. But now he has become quiet. He doesn’t chat with us anymore. Every time after training, he goes straight back to his room. Seeing the Major General like this, we all feel very sad.”

“Although the major general and... Miss Han Xuan have gotten their marriage certificate, the Major General’s heart is with you. The Major General rarely goes back to the house, and he sleeps in a separate room than Miss Han Xuan. The Major General never forgot about you.”

He and Han Xuan... slept in separate rooms?

Leng Zhiyuan didn’t know how she felt about this. All she knew was that there’s a feeling of delight. For him to treat her like this, her love for him was not a waste.

Boom! The sound of an explosion came from below the water at this moment, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water.

Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up. Then, she heard Xiao Zhi call out, “Sister-in-law, the Major General is back.”

She looked up and saw a tall figure emerging from the water in front of her.

Splash! His whole body was dripping water. But he didn’t hesitate to wipe his face with his hand. Then he looked up at her and smiled.
