The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He

Chapter 190 - To Teach He Jingyan a Lesson

“It's no surprise he's rattled,” Zuo Bo murmured casually, as if this were a routine occurrence. Glancing around, he suddenly chuckled.

Could it really be just these two cars? Seems I, Zuo Bo, have been underestimated.

Zuo Bo returned the cigarette to its box, reaching for his phone, but a car pulled up in front of him. The driver swiftly exited, bowing respectfully. “Colonel sent me to fetch you,” he said.

Ji Guangming assisted Zuo Bo into the car, his astonishment mirroring the recent events.

What exactly happened here? A car accident?

Ji Guangming surveyed the mangled vehicle and the burning wreckage nearby, then turned to Zuo Bo.

But was this truly an accident? Both vehicles are in shambles, yet Zuo Bo emerged unscathed?

Ji Guangming's confusion deepened. Suddenly aware of the unconscious guard nearby, likely injured, he started in alarm, but Liu Tie had already ushered him into the vehicle. “He's badly hurt. Alert Hee Jingyan for surgery preparations.”

Ji Guangming's arrival didn't surprise Zuo Bo; he shared Hee Jingyan's concerns, knowing Ji Guangming was sent to ensure his safety, even bringing armored vehicles.

Ji Guangming hesitated briefly before responding, “Understood.” Hastily, he phoned Hee Jingyan, then drove Zuo Bo back to base.

With Zuo Bo's departure, the civilians resumed their speculation, aware of the military involvement and eagerly speculating on Zuo Bo's identity.

Meanwhile, at a nearby intersection, the man in the car observed Zuo Bo's exit, furrowing his brow as he dialed Loong Qi's number.

“What's the situation?” Loong Qi cut to the chase, knowing it concerned Zuo Bo.

Anxiety gripped the man as he reluctantly relayed, “I'm sorry, Second Young Master. Zuo Bo was rescued by Hee Jingyan's men. We… we failed.”

The admission was almost a whisper, laden with fear.

Loong Qi frowned. Hee Jingyan? Why intervene? Was he aware of Zuo Bo's peril? Or was Zuo Bo seeking aid?

Regardless, assisting Zuo Bo was meddling. Perhaps framing Senior Colonel wasn't severe enough—maybe a reminder about his beloved wife would be more memorable.

Loong Qi's smile vanished, replaced by a chilling expression. Those aiding Zuo Bo and Loong Shen wouldn't escape his retribution.

The man trembled at Loong Qi's tone, breaking into a cold sweat. He had intended to continue surveillance on Zuo Bo, but Loong Qi's icy command halted him: “Withdraw.”

Stunned, the man hesitated, then complied, instructing the other two cars to retreat.

“Hee Jingyan's involvement with me, Zuo Bo, and Loong Shen—is he now aiding Loong Shen?” Loong Qi's smile turned sinister. His intentions remained veiled, but his determination was clear.
