Chapter 229 - Something Important
Yun Qing’s words made Huo Chuan feel extremely puzzled.
From her words and her expression, Huo Chuan could tell that she was hiding something from him.
But what exactly was it? Huo Chuan did not know.
He kept feeling that a part of his memory was missing, but…
As he looked Yun Qing’s departing figure, Huo Chuan stood rooted.
He picked up his phone and dialed Captain Xu’s number.
“Huo Chuan, how did you manage to find time to call me?” Captain Xu’s laughter soon came from the phone.
Huo Chuan asked, “Captain Xu, when I was in Europe, did I forget anything important?”
“Anything important?” Captain Xu was a little puzzled. “Didn’t you save your sweetheart there?”
“Anything else?” Huo Chuan asked.
Now it was Captain Xu’s turn to be confused.
“Anything else?” Captain Xu murmured, “Oh! Right! There was a street fight, and we couldn’t find you. Later, someone sent you to the vicinity of our camp, and we saved you.”
Only then did Huo Chuan recall this, but he had no impression of the person who saved him.
At that time, street battles were very intense, and there were often bullets whistling past Huo Chuan’s ears. He had to stay alert at all times and take cover and shoot at the fastest speed possible.
However, Huo Chuan was still struck by a hidden enemy and fell down. Soon after, he lost consciousness.
Did this incident have something to do with Yun Qing?
Could it be such a coincidence?
Huo Chuan’s intuition told him that Yun Qing must be hiding something from him. Regardless of whether this incident had anything to do with Yun Qing, he had to investigate it thoroughly.
At the nighttime bar, Yun Qing sat on the sofa and downed a glass of wine.
“Weren’t you having dinner with Huo Chuan’s family? Why did you suddenly call me out?” Gu Zhi looked at Yun Qing in confusion and noticed that she did not look well. She asked, “What’s wrong? Did Huo Chuan provoke you again?”
“Tell me, is Huo Chuan sick?” Yun Qing frowned and asked.
Gu Zhi agreed without hesitation. “Yes, he is sick! Don’t argue with sick people.”
“Yeah, I don’t want to argue with him either. I’ve already said that I want to be even with him.”Yun Qing thought of Huo Chuan’s blank face and could not help but feel a little angry. “He remembers nothing. I thought he would at least remember me.”
Gu Zhi noticed that Yun Qing’s condition was not quite right and probed her. “Yun Qing, don’t tell me you still have feelings for him?”
Yun Qing sneered, “Of course not. I just feel that my three years of hard work was so ridiculous. I wish I could travel back in time and give myself a slap.”
Seeing that Yun Qing was still sober, Gu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.
“Actually, I saved Huo Chuan once before, but he doesn’t seem to know about this at all.”
Amidst the noisy music, Yun Qing could not help but tell Gu Zhi.
She had kept this matter a secret in her heart for a long time.
“You saved him?!” Gu Zhi looked at Yun Qing in disbelief. “Didn’t you take a fancy to him at the banquet that year, that’s why…”
“I saw him before. I was in Europe at that time. Wasn’t there a war then? I saw that he was shot and found out that he was a soldier of our country, so I used his pistol to protect him from the battlefield and sent him to the entrance of the military camp.”
Yun Qing told Gu Zhi the truth about what happened that year. “I felt that he was very similar to the person who had saved me at that time. Moreover, regardless of whether he was that soldier or not, I should have saved him because we are compatriots.”
“Yun Qing, you are too cool!”
Gu Zhi exclaimed. Yun Qing realized that she was completely wrong.
Although Yun Qing also thought that she was very cool at that time, killing a few enemies and successfully saving the soldiers of her country, but..
“So, Huo Chuan still doesn’t know that it was you who saved him?!” Gu Zhi asked, “Yun Qing! You should have told him about this back then. Maybe he wouldn’t have treated you like that then.”
Although that was the case, Yun Qing hoped that the relationship was pure and not based on this “debt”.
Besides, Yun Qing didn’t have the confidence back then. After all, Huo Chuan only had Bai Ting in his eyes at that time.
