    Wen He thanked the officer and continued ahead with Gu Jinzhi. They passed through a few more lookout posts and were thoroughly inspected and searched before they finally reached the huge encampment at the border.


    By then, it was alreadyte at night.


    “Identify yourselves!”


    Wen He had just stepped out of the car when she found a few dozen gun barrels pointed straight at her.


    She was about to call Huo Chen’s phone when she noticed Song Shou walking past with a pile of documents in his arms.


    Her eyes lit up as she waved at the man. “Song Shou!”


    The man in question looked up at the mention of his name.


    He was greatly surprised to see that it was Wen He and dashed toward her while signalling the guards to lower their weapons.


    “Ma’am, why are you here?” He asked urgently in a whisper.


    “I’m here to see Huo Chen.”


    Wen He looked around and saw soldiers everywhere in the camp. The atmosphere in the base was tense and made her feel wary.


    “Where is he? Tell me!”


    “...”


    Song Shou opened his mouth hesitantly but did not reply.


    “Tell me now!”


    Wen He panicked and grabbed him by the cor. “Where is he? I heard from Yang Yi that he is injured. Is he in recovery now? You must take me to him!”


    “I’m afraid that is impossible,” Song Shou answered and shook his head. “Half an hour ago, he received word of an attack from the enemy and left to handle them.”


    “What?! He’s still injured!”


    Song Shou stayed quiet. No one could force the major general to change his mind.


    He led Wen He and Gu Jinzhi to the center of the base and assigned a room for them to rest.


    “Ma’am, the major general’s room is right next to yours and the operations room is on the opposite side. I will have someone inform you when he is back, until then please have some rest.”


    Wen He wanted to say more, but she noticed Gu Jinzhi hinting at her and assented quietly with a nod.


    “Alright.”


    After that, Song Shou left them to attend to his duties.


    Wen He sat on the wooden bed and her mind went nk.


    Gu Jinzhi saw her pitiful state and raised an eyebrow. “He’s still alive, isn’t that good news?”


    “You’re right!” Wen He pped herself out of it. “That should be enough!”


    She was very worried, but she managed to stay calm and wait patiently in her room until Huo Chen’s return.


    Nevertheless, after two days, Huo Chen did not return.


    Frustrated by helplessness, Wen He stayed awake untilte at night, when there was suddenly an outburst of joy and cheering in the base.


    “The major general is back! We’ve won!”


    Wen He leapt out of bed and rushed out of her room.


    However, the base was too crowded for her to spot Huo Chen.


    After failing multiple times to push her way through the crowd, she retreated quietly to the sidelines.


    Later, the crowd gradually dispersed and Wen He finally saw Huo Chen.


    He was dressed in a cammie and covered in splotches of mud.


    The heavy downpour in recent days got him drenched and left him in a sorry state.


    Nevertheless, he maintained a professional and steady look on his face and kept his back straight, like a rifle that would not bend under pressure.


    So long as he was with the army, they would obliterate anyone in their way.


    Emotions overwhelmed her as she finally set eyes on him.


    “Aren’t you going to him?”


    Gu Jinzhi asked cooly.


    For some reason, the close proximity between them made Wen He hesitant.


    “I’m going back.”


    She bit down on her lips and was about to turn away.


    Just then, Song Shou spotted her.


    “Ma’am!”


    Wen He looked up and straight into a pair of calm eyes...
