"Your two friends should now be under the control of my subordinates."
Song Lili just knew it!
He wouldn’t be so easily taken hostage by her!
Putting down the gun, disarming, and pretending to be unguarded were all just illusions!
Just like in that exercise, when Qing Luo lured her into firing that last shot that left her without ammunition, and then Qing Luo secured the final victory!
He usually didn’t talk much, yet with a face that looked younger than his age, giving off a sense of being a young boy, he was always able to trap people without them realizing!
"You—"
"Don’t worry, without my orders, your friends won’t be hard."
"If they are missing a single hair, I won’t hesitate to take your life."
Song Lili’s voice was very cold.
Forr comrades-in-arms had now beco enemies just like that.
Qing Luo, a talent deed a military genius by all ranking officers and instructors at Xilin Military Academy, was now using his capabilities to disrupt the world order.
Song Lili pushed Qing Luo forward, and Qing Luo obediently moved ahead.
They were getting closer and closer to where Zhongli and Lu Xiaoer should have been.
Song Lili’s heart climbed to her throat, knowing nothing about what was happening on President Wen Nian and Song Yangling’s end, not to ntion Zhongli Wuzhi and Lu Xiaoer...
"Tang."
After being silent for a while, Qing Luo spoke up again just as they were about to reach the central point,
"You just asked how many identities I had, and now I’m curious, how many do you have?"
"..."
Song Lili narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Playing the role of President’s wife instead of staying safe, rushing to the battlefield to risk your life... That’s really your style, hehehe..."
Qing Luo did not wait for Song Lili to respond, instead keeping up his chuckle.
He really knew!
"Should I continue to call you Tang, or should I call you Song Lili, or perhaps... Mrs. President?"
"Does it make a difference?"
"Of course it does."
Qing Luo suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Ahead... is that your husband?"
Song Lili’s steps halted for a mont, her gaze shifting forward!
And just then, Qing Luo sidestepped and retreated, grabbing the barrel of Song Lili’s sniper rifle, pulling it forward and dragging her along!
It was too late for her to let go; Qing Luo turned around, and their situations were completely reversed!
The one who had been captured was now Song Lili, while Qing Luo beca the one in control!
"You’ve gotten... quite slow."
Qing Luo secured her hands behind her back, his voice reaching her from behind her ear.
Song Lili pursed her lips.
Qing Luo’s observation skills were sharp; standing behind Song Lili, he could clearly see her slightly protruding belly,
"You’re... pregnant?"
"... Just kill or slash , make it quick! Don’t dawdle!"
There was no "your husband" at the front at all, but Qing Luo’s comnt indeed shook her focus for a mont.
"I won’t kill you; I just want to see how far a president, who has co to a war-torn country all for you, is willing to go for you."
Qing Luo’s voice was light and indifferent, but it carried his cruelty and ruthlessness.
"You weren’t like this back in the academy."
After graduating from Xilin, this was essentially her first actual eting with Qing Luo.
Who would have thought it would be in such a way, in such a place...
Song Lili didn’t know what to say, only feeling that Qing Luo... the Qing Luo she knew was a completely different person.
The Qing Luo from back then was quiet, always sporting a boyish face with little expression, which gave off an aura of unapproachability.
Unapproachable and taciturn did not affect his popularity, though.
During their ti at the Xilin Military Academy, she considered her relationship with Qing Luo to be not bad, and the sa went for Bian Yiyi.
Qing Luo wasn’t prone to smiling, but when he did, his face would blush with a shy redness.
A reserved young boy had beco the leader of a nation’s rebellion; such stark contrast was truly shocking!
"Back at the academy, you weren’t like this."
Qing Luo softly said.
"No matter how much I’ve changed, at least I still know I’m a soldier. Even if I can’t help many people, I wouldn’t hurt innocent civilians."
"..."
Qing Luo didn’t speak.
"When we graduated from the academy, Instructor Lu really wanted to keep you, but you insisted on returning to your country. Now I finally understand why you were so adamant."
Song Lili said indifferently.
As she spoke, Qing Luo remained silent.
Step by step moving forward,
"I don’t want your life, I’m more interested in your husband."
"You want to use to threaten him to work for you?"
"Is that not allowed?"
Qing Luo finally showed a slight smirk.
Song Lili took a deep breath,
"Qing Luo, I thought you were smart. Do you really think that for a President, his wife is that important?"
Qing Luo tugged at the corner of his mouth slightly,
"You, along with that young man and woman... I think these bargaining chips are heavy enough."
f.(r)eewe/bnov\ll
Song Lili’s lips turned sowhat white.
Her thoughts drifted, her gaze uncertain, looking around, she was still thinking if there was any other way out.
Just like this, she was taken hostage by Qing Luo to President Wen Nian...
Truth be told, she had no confidence in this life’s Wen Nian, that in a critical mont, he could prioritize the greater good...
And at that mont, Qing Luo’s footsteps suddenly stopped.
His feet planted firm, Song Lili’s body still inertia-forward, when the hand Qing Luo had on her back gave a sudden jerk, pulling painfully.
At this pain, her senses snapped back, her eyes fixed on what was ahead, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
There before her, Wen Nian sat on a large boulder, fully ard, casually holding a handgun.
Song Yangling stood at his side, rifle slung over his arms.
And beside them were three bound mbers of the rebel army.
Qing Luo narrowed his eyes slightly,
"Xiao Lingzi is here too..."
Qing Luo greeted Song Yangling upon seeing him.
Song Yangling’s gaze was somber; he had already known about Qing Luo’s connection to the rebel army, but seeing Qing Luo taking Song Lili hostage right before them still left him staggeringly stunned.
"Qing Luo, let her go."
Song Yangling said to him, "We are all forr classmates, there’s no need to take it this far!"
At the sa ti, he really hadn’t expected Song Lili to end up being taken hostage by Qing Luo...
He took a deep breath.
The person Qing Luo was holding was indeed the right one to take, at the very least he had seized a vital point of leverage over President Wen Nian.
"Mr. President. Welco to Country M."
Qing Luo said with a light laugh.
Wen Nian stood up, blinking,
"Let her go. This kind of hostage-taking ga is really too childish."
"As long as President Wen Nian agrees to my three demands, I assure you your wife and children will be safe."
"... Qing Luo. You will die."
Wen Nian said coldly.
