C105 – Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf


    Ann Yan clenched his teeth as he watched Yan Chengyu’s retreating figure. He hadn’t intended to involve others, which is why he had told Hee Jingyan that it was a minor issue he could handle on his own. But Yan Chengyu unexpectedly spilled the truth, even suggesting he was being mocked. As a captain, this humiliation weighed heavily on his shoulders.


    Consequently, he had no choice but to take responsibility himself, “This is entirely my fault for not maintaining strict discipline among my subordinates. I will self-punish and ept a two-day confinement.”


    Yan Chengyu, you rascal, just wait and see. Ann Yan seethed with anger, though he couldn’t be sure if Little Red Riding Hood had willingly walked into the wolf’s den.


    Hee Jingyan recognized Ann Yan as a responsible leader who couldn’t simply let his subordinates go unpunished. So, without hesitation, he issued his orders, “Ann Yan will be confined for a day.” However, it turned out to be just a single day.


    Ann Yan was somewhat surprised but epted it nheless. He furrowed his brow as he trailed behind Yan Chengyu, who seemed to be deliberately slowing his pace. Yan Chengyu knew Ann Yan would willingly follow through with the punishment.


    Aware that Hee Jingyan was nearby, Yan Chengyu deliberately provoked Ann Yan, anticipating that Liu Tie would step in. Yan Chengyu’s aim was not to be easily beaten up, but rather to lure Hee Jingyan into approaching and inquiring about the situation, allowing him to request his own imprisonment. He guessed correctly that Ann Yan’s sense of responsibility would lead him toply. Thus, he employed a cunning strategy to create an opportunity for a private conversation with Ann Yan.


    Why hadn’t Ann Yan retaliated yet? He had fallen victim to Yan Chengyu’s scheme. Little Red Riding Hood had ventured into the wolf’sir!


    “I finally grasp Mr. Chengyu’s intentions now,” Xu Yangyi, who had been observing Yan Chengyu, finallyprehended his motives. He remained silent for a moment.


    “But what’s the story here? Wasn’t that a man? Has Mr. Chengyu changed his preferences?” Xu Yangyi was puzzled, but he added, “He hasn’t even gotten married yet? After being tricked like this, what kind of life will he lead in the future?” Xu Yangyi sympathized momentarily.


    “My second sister-inw doesn’t seem like an easy person to deal with. Who knows what the future holds for her?” Yan Xingwei replied nonchntly, with a trace of amusement in his expression.


    “Second sister?” Xu Yangyi was utterly shocked. Mr. Chengyu, are you serious!


    Upon hearing Xu Yangyi’s astonishment, Yan Xingwei cast a sideways nce at him and quipped, “Why are you so surprised? You’re now someone else’s sister-inw, and you’re also the troop’s sister-inw. What’s the big deal?” He seemed to be teasing Xu Yangyi.


    Xu Yangyi gave him a stern look and warned, “Yan Xingwei, do you want to eat bullets?” A clear warning, not something to jest about.


    However, Yan Xingwei merely gazed at Hee Jingyan, who was training the soldiers not far away, and chuckled, “That’s your husband, isn’t it? You two match quite well, considering your looks and physique.”


    Despite the dangerous expression on Xu Yangyi’s face, hearing Yan Xingwei praise Hee Jingyan unexpectedly lifted his spirits. He took great pleasure in hearing othersmend Hee Jingyan, even though he wasn’t aware of it himself. “It seems like it’s a pretty good arrangement after all.”
