The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

Chapter 231 - Don't Kill Him I Said

Xingchen? What… What was happening? Why is Xingchen here?

Wei Wey feared he was seeing things. After blinking hard and realizing the person in front of him hadn't disappeared, his face turned pale as he looked at Xingchen, who was just as shocked.

Wei… Wei Wey? What was going on? Why was he here? And… in a soldier's uniform?

Xingchen felt like he was struck by lightning. His eyes filled with shock. First Prince?

Damn, Xingchen cursed silently, anger evident in his eyes.

I clearly said, even if Wei Wey risked his life, you mustn't let him near these people. But First Prince, why did you allow Wei Wey to come here as a spy? Didn't you know he was a simple person? His exposure was only a matter of time.

Noticing the anger in Sun Tie's eyes, Liu Tie immediately lowered his head, looking flustered and afraid. Did Brother Sun Tie get angry? But that's also true. After begging the First Prince for a long time, he agreed. Liu Tie didn't discuss it with Sun Tie. It was normal for him to be angry.

But, but, but Brother Xingchen is here, and he's covered in injuries.

Wei Wey understood the gravity of the situation and was scared, not knowing what to do.

The relationship between Wei Wey and Xingchen was complicated. Xingchen was Wei Wey's brother's wife, making her his sister-in-law's brother. A few years ago, Wei Wey's brother and sister-in-law were killed, leaving him alone. To find the real culprit, he convinced Kerja to let him infiltrate Hee Jingyan's place as a spy.

Of course, as the saying goes, strength in numbers. Kerja couldn't refuse. He didn't tell Xingchen about Wei Wey's arrangement with Hee Jingyan's troop and asked him to assist Nan Xiao. That's why both were so shocked when they met.

“Now, do you want to explain what I just said?” Hee Jingyan looked at their expressions, then at Wu Tie.

Their shock was so obvious that even a fool could tell they knew each other well. Moreover, it wasn't just a simple acquaintance.

“You can choose to remain silent. I won't force you to talk, but if I have to interrogate him myself, Wei Wey might not be able to stand unscathed in front of you.” Hee Jingyan threatened when Xingchen didn't speak.

Hee Jingyan didn't know their relationship beforehand. He was only guessing that Xingchen and his spies were from the same group. He was merely speculating about their connection.

Hearing Hee Jingyan's threat to harm Wei Wey, Liu Tie's body stiffened. Wei Wey was entrusted to him by his sister. He could die, but Wei Wey absolutely couldn't.

“It's useless to interrogate Wei Wey; he knows nothing. If anything happens, come and interrogate me.” Xingchen's voice wavered, losing its previous calmness.

Wei Wey was confused but realized his identity had been exposed. He immediately ran in front of Xingchen to shield him, pleading with Hee Jingyan, “Colonel, please don't kill Brother Xingchen. I'll say it, whatever it is, I'll say it.”

I've already lost my brother and sister-in-law. Finally meeting Brother Xingchen gave me the motivation to live. I can't, absolutely can't, let Brother Xingchen die.
