C111 – The Insane Traitor
Nan Xiao stood nearby, his fist clenched tightly, his face etched with anger.
“Why does Xu Yangyi suddenly win the Colonel’s favor out of nowhere? I’ve stood by the Colonel for years, yet he hasn’t spared me a glance.”
Nan Xiao’s anger might also be tinged with jealousy.
Among the soldiers, Wei Wey glanced at Nan Xiao nearby, then quickly averted his eyes when Nan Xiao seemed troubled. Suddenly, Nan Xiao signaled for him to approach.
Observing his teammates engaged in jovial conversation, Wei Wey felt unnoticed and stealthily followed Nan Xiao.
As Wei Wey reached a secluded corner, Nan Xiao erupted in anger, “Plan ahead!”
Startled by Nan Xiao’s sudden outburst after turning the corner, Wei Wey was momentarily stunned before stammering, “I-I understand.”
It appears his anger is genuine. Indeed! Initially, Nan Xiao attempted to captivate the Colonel with his appearance, but the Colonel, uninterested in men, never took him seriously.
Little did he anticipate the Colonel marrying a man and becoming his spouse. Nan Xiao likely feels his pride has been wounded.
Yet, something doesn’t add up! Despite the humiliation, such intense fury seems excessive! Moreover, his disdain for his sister-in-law is palpable. Could it be…? Does Nan Xiao truly harbor feelings for the Colonel?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so furious. Wei Wey was taken aback but couldn’t articulate his stance to Nan Xiao, opting for diplomacy, “We should focus on carrying out Brother Xingchen’s mission. You know the boss’ temperament.”
The boss doesn’t hesitate to dispose of liabilities, like 009. If caught, we’ll likely face the boss’s and his men’s wrath first.
Contemplating his potential demise, Wei Wey trembled, his panic evident.
Nan Xiao scoffed coldly, “Fear not! I have a plan to ensnare Xu Yangyi; we’ll complete this mission without fail.”
Having served by Hee Jingyan’s side for over two years, I know him well. With everything proceeding according to plan, capturing Xu Yangyi will be effortless.
“But Second Lieutenant Loong Shen remains in the army. Last time, 009 was apprehended by him without a hitch, and we didn’t anticipate trouble until it was too late, and 009 was dispatched to Warden Zuo Bo.”
“Loong Shen has been absent from duty these days; he won’t interfere with our plans.”
Absent from duty? But isn’t Second Lieutenant Loong Shen always by the Colonel’s side?
Wei Wey was puzzled. Nan Xiao didn’t wish to elucidate but reluctantly explained, “Warden Zuo Bo autopsied 009. Considering my reluctance to visit Warden Zuo Bo, I transferred 009 to my custody. It’ll be days before he can return to duty.” As long as Zuo Bo, his nemesis, remained occupied, everything should proceed smoothly for a few days.
“Return to the team; we shouldn’t be seen together.” With that, Nan Xiao left.
Wei Wey felt a slight relief at Nan Xiao’s words but remained unsettled, sensing an inexplicable foreboding.
