Chapter 1142: The Man Who Misses His Beloved Woman Dearly
Si Yiyan was dressed in a red shirt and black-colored casual trousers. Red had always been a color that Si Yiyan rarely wore because of how bright it was. However, the fiery color looked cold and calm on Si Yiyan, though much less murderous.
It was truly amazing how he could carry the color in such a mellow manner, making red look docile and tame.
Si Yiyan squatted on the ground with a heavy machine gun and continuously changed his position while shooting his targets.
Bang, bang, bang...
The loud sounds of gunshots filled the air in the underground shooting range.
Xu Xianghu whistled while watching Si Yiyan shoot his targets accurately without missing a single shot.
Gu Yuehan maintained his perpetual composure.
Si Yiyan put his gun away and asked sternly, “Gu Yuexi actually tolerated the fact that you guys have escaped twice?”
He knew Gu Yuexi too well. Unlike others, Gu Yuexi would never tolerate the same mistake happening twice!
Xu Xianghu shuddered upon hearing Gu Yuexi’s name. “Um... the situation in Russia is now stable and Yueze is there to help too. Hence, Gu Yuexi allowed me and Gu Yuehan to come help you out in Capital city. After all... you’ve been undergoing treatment by Old Mr. Du. You can’t be distracted.”
Xu Xianghu sounded rather self-righteous, though he looked a little guilty.
Gu Yuehan said suavely, “My brother only got me to help Ninth Young Master. Do you really think... you can do anything constructive in Capital city?”
Gu Yuehan’s words were harsh and wicked.
Capital city was the center of authority in China. Hence, they did not need someone like Xu Xianghu who was all brawns and no brains. He looked rather silly with his gun hidden in his waist pouch.
Although Xu Xianghu was silly, he was not that foolish and could understand what Gu Yuehan was driving at. He flew into a rage and retorted. “There are plenty of places for me to shine. You can’t compare to me when it comes to protecting the Ninth Young Master.”
Gu Yuehan pursed his lips and thought to himself, Protecting Ninth Young Master... psht.
Trust him to have the cheek to say that. We’re not in Russia or Italy. Neither are we in the borders. This is Capital city, the center of politics in China. It’s a civilized society where there is law and order. It’s the largest country in the world where people would hesitate before breaking the law.
Besides, Ninth Young Master may not enjoy aristocratic privileges in China, but he’s under the protection of organizations from five countries. As long as he doesn’t reveal his identity and whereabouts, no one would dare to touch him.
Not to mention... Ninth Young Master is the king of triads in Capital city whom no one dares to go against.
Ninth Young Master will be the safest in Capital city.
Si Yiyan glanced at Xu Xianghu calmly and asked, “So, did you sneak out?”
Hanging his head low, Xu Xianghu thought to himself, I didn’t sneak out on purpose. Gu Yuexi is just too psychotic. “Boss, you just save me this time!”
Si Yiyan chastised coldly. “Even God can’t help you!”
Xu Xianghu couldn’t help but wail in agony.
Gu Yuehan noticed the coldness of Si Yiyan’s tone, the aloofness in his eyes and his frustration. Gu Yuehan already understood what was going on.
Si Yiyan began shooting again.
Xu Xianghu had already revived. He chuckled and said, “Boss, Sis-in-law has to undergo military training for a month. Doesn’t that mean that you won’t get to see her for a month? You’re going to miss her so much. I really take pity on you.”
Although they were words of sympathy, Xu Xianghu sounded unusually excited, as if he were gloating over Si Yiyan’s misfortune.
Si Yiyan shot him a glance coldly and exclaimed, “Silly!”
Feeling indignant, Xu Xianghu asked, “Boss, why did you scold me? Was I wrong? Won’t you miss Sis-in-law because you won’t be getting to see her for a month?”
Si Yiyan could not be bothered to answer him.
Gu Yuehan said with a straight face, “It’s just a military training program. Do you really think it can get in Ninth Young Master’s way? Why don’t you admit that you’re silly?”
It was not a secret military training program, and all it’d take for Si Yiyan to enter the camp to take a look at Wen Xinya was just some communication. Xu Xianghu was the only one who was naive enough to think that Si Yiyan would sacrifice his own happiness and endure a month of not seeing Wen Xinya.
“Oh right! Why didn’t I think of that?” Xu Xianghu scratched his head before continuing, “Boss, I heard that the commander of Sis-in-law’s military training program is Xu Zhenyu. That Xu Zhenyu... seems to carry a torch for Sis-in-law, right!?! Didn’t you go through painstaking means to get that kid stationed in the Northwest region? Doesn’t that mean... that you see him as a threat?”
Gu Yuehan subconsciously backed away from Xu Xianghu while staring at him with a smirk. I’ve never seen someone so silly. Can’t he see that Ninth Young Master is feeling frustrated now? Why is he doing this?
He’s just adding fuel to the fire and rubbing salt into Ninth Young Master’s wound.
Si Yiyan pressed his lips together and questioned with a squint, “What’s wrong? Is there an issue?”
The mention of Xu Zhenyu made Si Yiyan tighten his grip on his gun. Although he knew that there was nothing going on between Wen Xinya and Xu Zhenyu, he disliked Xu Zhenyu from the moment he saw him.
He could use his power to restrict Xu Zhenyu from meeting Wen Xinya, but he could not defeat him.
For the first time in his life, he felt distraught.
It had been more than a week since Wen Xinya joined the military training program. Whenever they spoke on the phone, she would never fail to mention Xu Zhenyu, thus making him feel incredibly frustrated, anxious and even terrified.
Xu Xianghu had no idea how perplexed and angst Si Yiyan was and continued to rub it in. “Of course there’s a problem. You have to be very tactful and ruthless when dealing with your rival in love, and render him too powerless to retaliate. But what are you doing now? You clearly know that your rival is approaching your target with a hidden agenda and yet you can still remain so calm. If I were you, I’d rush forth and hit him first.”
Si Yiyan released two of his fingers and said, “Good idea.”
After earning his approval, Xu Xianghu’s eyes lit up and he said, “I think so, too.”
Gu Yuehan grinned uncontrollably while retreating another 2 meters away from Xu Xianghu.
Si Yiyan smiled radiantly yet coldly. “Why don’t I test it out on you first, lest I use too much strength and end up killing him?”
“Huh?” Xu Xianghu questioned with his mouth wide open. Dumbfounded, he wondered, Why... does he need to practice before hitting someone?
Before Xu Xianghu could even react, Si Yiyan punched him smack in his face, causing him to fall onto the ground.
