Can't Take My Eyes Off You (WN)
chapter-1227

"Lu Xingzhi, don't you think you owe us an explanation?" Chen Feitang's voice was icy. "Even though we'd act separately after we leave the train station, don't forget that even though we have our own duties, we are still a team. Each of us has a responsibility and a heavy burden to complete this mission. If you let your wife get involved and she becomes a burden to our team, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Chen Feitang, what do you mean? Why would Jiang Yao become a burden? " Zhou Junmin was in a bad mood, or rather, he was in a bad mood toward Chen Feitang. Furthermore, he thought that Jiang Yao was formidable. "Don't forget, the burden that you're talking about has saved Chen Feibai twice! Remember—twice!"

Zhou Junmin chuckled and continued to sneer at her. "The army doesn't belong to Lu Xingzhi, or do you think he's like your family who thinks they can just stuff a bunch of unscrupulous people in here?

"Jiang Yao must have passed the army's assessment if she's here. Our leaders must have felt that she had the qualifications to stand here and competent enough to take on this mission. That's why they recruited her to be on this mission."

Zhou Junmin emphasized the word recruited. Jiang Yao was not an active soldier, so the army must have recruited her to participate in the mission.

Needless to say, the recruit's identity sounded awesome when revealed.

Colonel Lin said, "Jiang Yao had been assessed and approved to join this mission. With her ability, she would not become a burden to our team. Jiang Yao had been approved unanimously by the bureau chief and the Police Crime Squad's chief, the highest-ranking person in charge of this case."

Chen Feitang's words did not hurt Jiang Yao. It was not as if she would become a useless person if other people said she was useless.

On the contrary, the more Chen Feitang looked down on her, the more she wanted to show off her achievements.

After Jiang Yao heard Zhou Junmin and Colonel Lin's words, Lu Xingzhi did not reach out to shake her hand. Instead, he was staring at her, but his expression was unclear, though it definitely did not look good.

The atmosphere was a little stiff. Jiang Yao snorted in a low voice and reached out to grab Lu Xingzhi's hand to force him to shake her hand. Only then was she satisfied. Then, Lu Xingzhi suddenly moved; he grabbed her hand tightly before she could remove it.

"Jiang Yao, go home." That was the first thing Lu Xingzhi said. "Take it as an order from a superior to a subordinate or a request from a husband to his wife. In short, go home now."

"That's more like it." Chen Feitang scoffed when she heard Lu Xingzhi's words. She did not even take half of what Zhou Junmin and Colonel Lin had said to heart.

Perhaps her rationality had been burned by jealousy or anger. Chen Feitang felt very uncomfortable when she saw Jiang Yao.

That woman had snatched the man she had loved for many years, causing that man to treat her with disdain and abandonment.

That woman had caused her to lose the support of so many people in the Chen family—her elders no longer trusted her.

What right did Jiang Yao have to break into a territory that had belonged to her? How could she snatch the credit for that mission?
