Chapter 106 - 110 A person was hung from a tree
Chapter 106: 110 A person was hung from a treeXilin had no mind to continue her sentry duty, how could Shen Lingxi’s words not tempt her?
Ever since her father was suspended and put under investigation, she received calls from him less and less frequently. He always said on the phone that everything was fine, that it would be fine, but she wasn’t foolish. Her father had worked his way up from the grass-roots in politics for so many years without ever encountering a situation like this.
She always believed that her father hadn’t broken any rules or done anything to betray the country and its people, but even so, she was scared...
If she could just slow Tang Xiaohua down, Shen Lingxi would have a way to see her father safely through the investigation. Shen Lingxi was Commander Shen Xinhui’s daughter, and just by what she overheard others saying, Xilin knew that Commander Shen had gained favor during the President’s visit to Xilin.
If Commander Shen was willing to help her father, perhaps there could be a way out...
Her heart pounded, and sweat seeped from the palms of her hands, her emotions both tense and heavy.
The selection process was already difficult, and most people would ultimately fail to make the cut. Even without her holding her back, Tang Xiaohua might not pass the selection. She just had to... just slightly...
...
Shen Lingxi knew what choice Xilin would make; she was a fool who only thought in a straight line. Right now, her father was her softest spot.
Perhaps Xilin would feel some guilt toward Tang Xiaohua, but such guilt wouldn’t be enough to refuse such a temptation.
The night had completely fallen, and after speaking with Xilin, Shen Lingxi went to look for her companion, Su Ru. Su Ru was her true best friend and childhood confidant. Su Ru’s father was Commander Shen Xinhui’s adjutant and had been utterly loyal for many years, with both families having been close for a long time.
Her personality matched well with Su Ru’s; from a young age, both girls had the same goal and aspired to become great female generals despite both being girls. Shen Lingxi was just more fierce and domineering, while Su Ru was more tactful and low-key.
"Su Ru!"
Shen Lingxi looked around and couldn’t find Su Ru anywhere.
"Strange, she said she’d wait here for me..."
She muttered, suddenly feeling a sense of panic, as their luggage was with Su Ru and there was no sign of her after
Shen Lingxi’s calls grew more and more urgent. She stopped circling around and started to chase...
In her heart, she was convinced that Su Ru had betrayed her!
Running forward in a rage, she followed a creek and suddenly heard a "woo woo woo" struggling sound. Shen Lingxi followed it and looked up, her eyes suddenly widening as she saw a person hanging from a tree!
"Lingxi!"
"...Su Ru?"
