Chapter 428: Can You Bear This Result?

~7 min read 1,298 words

"It's me!"

Upon hearing her reply, the young man subconsciously slowed his pace by half a beat.

"Why didn't you arrest me?" that person asked.

It was clearly he who had let her go, yet none of them reacted, as if this matter had never happened.

But the more this was the case, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

It was unsettled, hanging in the air.

An Yinan looked at the group ahead and then at the person beside her.

"Why did you let me go?" she asked.

That person did not think too much, "I didn't want to implicate an innocent person."

What does war have to do with ordinary civilians anyway?

They just want to live a good life!

"Are you a Nanhou person?" An Yinan asked again.

The young man shook his head, "I am a Huaxia person!"

An Yinan smiled; he was quite concerned about this.

"Are you willing to talk about your past?"

Wang Dazhi was silent for a moment, "I was originally a Nanhou person, abandoned by my parents."

"It was my teacher who brought me back to Huaxia."

"He raised me and taught me the principles of being a person."

An Yinan did not interrupt, just listening quietly like this.

"Later, he told me about my background, and that was when I learned I was a Nanhou person."

"My teacher taught me the Nanhou language and also told me about the customs, social atmosphere, and geography of Nanhou."

"He said that if I wanted to go back, I could leave at any time."

Wang Dazhi looked at An Yinan, "Although I wasn't born in Huaxia, I have always considered myself a Huaxia person."

"My parents didn't want me, but my teacher raised me, and I will provide for my teacher in his old age!"

An Yinan smiled; after listening to him talk for so long, the information she had analyzed was actually limited.

For others, there might be sympathy, there might be empathy.

But on the battlefield, sympathy could cost many people their lives.

"First, I sympathize with your situation." An Yinan looked at the group ahead, her tone very slow, every word very clear.

"Second, the reason they didn't move against you is not because this matter has passed."

"Because you are from the Compilation Bureau, and you are not a mole; they will report this matter when they return, and the people from the Compilation Bureau will handle you."

An Yinan did not hide how he would be dealt with.

Even though the person he saved was her!

"Do you not resent me?" An Yinan did not hear any movement beside her, so she asked Wang Dazhi in confusion.

Wang Dazhi shook his head, "Regardless of whether you are a Nanhou woman or not, I would have reported this matter myself!"

An Yinan actually admired this person a little; he had a sense of compassion that she lacked.

But, this was precisely the battlefield!

"Do you know where you went wrong?" An Yinan asked.

Wang Dazhi said, "I shouldn't have let you go."

An Yinan shook her head, "You see, you still don't know."

She took two quick steps to catch up with the group ahead; ever since entering Huaxia territory, everyone had more energy.

Including that Lao Zhao—who told him the aphrodisiac was so potent?

"Where did I go wrong?" Wang Dazhi asked.

"First, knowing full well there was a mole in the group, you still let someone go. Do you know that your compassion might kill everyone around you?"

At this moment, An Yinan's gaze was sharp, looking straight at Wang Dazhi.

Wang Dazhi was not a soldier on the battlefield; how could he withstand such a sharp gaze?

"Second, you keep saying you are a Huaxia person? Then do you know that our Huaxia Army has never killed an innocent person?"

"You say you are a Huaxia person, yet you do not trust our Huaxia Army!"

"They are the guardian deities of Huaxia!"

"If this woman were not me, you might not know that not a single person present would have returned alive."

"Furthermore, false information could cause our main force ahead to fall into an ambush, resulting in countless casualties."

An Yinan turned her head back and sighed softly.

"Can you bear this result?"

When she asked this question, her voice was very light, as if it would scatter with a gust of wind.

Yet no other words could compare to this one, striking deep into his heart.

Could he bear it?

The Huaxia he kept claiming to love!

Yet what was he doing?

One question after another—without anyone else saying it, he was asking himself.

An Yinan caught up with the group; Yun Bi glanced at her, and then at the young man who looked as if he had lost his soul.

"We need to get down the mountain today; there are too many people, everyone put in some effort!" Yun Bi shouted.

No one had any complaints; as for those who did, they were currently tied up, their mouths stuffed with smelly socks.

Who told them to make sounds that made people blush?

The marching speed increased rapidly, and with others present, she honestly kept a low profile.

When the sky was almost completely dark, they finally descended the mountain.

But at the foot of the mountain, they saw a team of people.

"Third Brother!"

"Brother Fang."

Then that person's gaze turned to An Yinan, his brows and eyes softening, "Are you injured?"

An Yinan was grinning; she was very different now compared to before, and one could even feel her joyful mood from her laughter.

"Who is this person?" Wang Dazhi asked.

Yun Bi glanced at him, "Her man!"

Her man?

No wonder she was so happy, not concealing her emotions in the slightest.

"Why are you here?" An Yinan walked over and asked Chen Xun in surprise.

Chen Xun handed his canteen to her, "Drink some water first, you must be exhausted, right?"

An Yinan could not bear to refuse his kindness, though she was not actually very thirsty, as she had plenty of water in her space.

"I received orders from above to come and escort you all back."

In fact, the higher-ups had discovered that the information was not right and feared an ambush from the Southern Monkeys, which was why they had Chen Xun lead a team over.

"Everyone, rest for a while, then we must set off immediately. The Command Headquarters is waiting for news from over there, so everyone probably won't be able to rest today," Chen Xun said to Yun Bi.

Yun Bi nodded!

"The team will rest for five minutes; after five minutes, we move out!"

"Yes!"

The group climbed through the jungle and waded across the long river.

"We are going to report back; you all go back and get some good rest." Yun Bi looked at the three people, especially instructing Nan Nan.

The three people nodded immediately; An Yinan found a secluded spot, quickly took a hot shower, and then returned to the tent, falling asleep the moment she touched the straw mat.

"Nan Nan!" She only woke up when a voice called her.

Seeing the anxious Li Xiue, she rubbed her temples, "What's wrong?"

She looked at her watch; it was just two o'clock, so she had only slept for half an hour.

"The Southern Monkeys just took action, shelling Liang Mountain; many soldiers have been injured!" Li Xiue said quickly.

Upon hearing this, An Yinan rolled up her hair with a rubber band and said, "Let's go."

When they came out, they also saw Qin Hao and Yun Zhi.

Both of their eyes were still red, which showed they had also just been pulled out of bed.
