My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 458 - 455: Yuwen Huatong

I took a walk around, and when I came back, I found myself dismissed! Is there anything more tragic than this?

Gao Fei felt a burning rage and deep frustration inside.

"Lord, what should we do now?" Chen San asked.

"We absolutely cannot let this go!" Liu Qing said indignantly.

"Let's go, we'll go in and have a good talk with the newly appointed Chiliarch," Gao Fei said, stepping forward.

Chen San and Liu Qing quickly followed.

The gate-guarding soldiers hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not stop them.

...

Along the way, Gao Fei saw many familiar faces. He smiled and greeted everyone warmly, without a hint of arrogance.

Gao Fei's appearance caused a huge stir within the army camp.

"My God, am I seeing things? Isn't that Lord Gao?"

"Wasn't he dead? How has he come back to life?"

"Who said he died! He just disappeared!"

"With Lord Gao back, the newly appointed Chiliarch is going to be in an awkward position."

"This is going to be quite a show."

Many soldiers gathered around, chattering nonstop.

...

The newly appointed Chiliarch, Yuwen Huatong, rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Are you the former Chiliarch, Gao Fei?" Yuwen Huatong scrutinized Gao Fei with a cold gaze as he spoke.

"Yes, I am Gao Fei," Gao Fei nodded. "And you are the newly appointed Chiliarch?"

Yuwen Huatong nodded. "I am Yuwen Huatong! Appointed a month ago."

"What a great misunderstanding," Gao Fei sighed. "I was clearly still alive, yet I was replaced... It just doesn't make sense."

"Lord Gao went missing for several months with no information. Everyone thought you had met with an accident," Yuwen Huatong said indifferently. "For the sake of stability in the camp, I was specially assigned to take your place."

"Now that I have returned, shouldn't you... return the position to me?" Gao Fei smiled.

"Return it to you?" Yuwen Huatong laughed, but it was a cold laugh. "Don't delude yourself! That's impossible!"

"How is it impossible?" Gao Fei challenged. "They assumed I was dead and let you take over as Chiliarch, but now I am back, so you should step aside."

"Once I became the Chiliarch, I will never give up the position," Yuwen Huatong stated resolutely. "Now please leave! Do not hinder my management of the camp!"

Gao Fei's expression slowly darkened. "What right do you have to make me leave!"

"I am the Chiliarch! The highest official here! I have the authority to handle everything!" Yuwen Huatong emphasized each word. "You are no longer part of the camp, so you have no right to stay here. If you know what's good for you, leave immediately, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Gao Fei countered sharply.

"Otherwise, I will be less than courteous with you!" Yuwen Huatong huffed.

"How 'less than courteous'?" A glint of sternness flashed in Gao Fei's eyes. "Please, enlighten me with the details."

Yuwen Huatong sneered venomously, slowly raising his hand and pointing at Gao Fei's nose, "I will count to three, and if you haven't left by then, I will have someone throw you out! One, two..." Yuwen Huatong began to count.

Sure, here's the translated text:

"Good!" Gao Fei nodded: "Yuwen Huatong! I will remember you!" After giving Yuwen Huatong a deep look, Gao Fei then led Chen San and Liu Qing away.

"What rubbish." Yuwen Huatong spat on the ground: "He actually had the gall to come here and spout nonsense, demanding that I return the position of Chiliarch to him. Utterly ridiculous." Yuwen Huatong straightened his back and yelled loudly, "Who let Gao Fei in? Who was it? Come out here now!"

A soldier ran over tremblingly: "It was me… they forced their way in… I couldn't stop them…"

Yuwen Huatong's gaze was cold as he glanced at the soldier: "Drag him away and give him a hundred lashes. If he ever makes a mistake again, behead him straight away."

Two strong men stepped forward and dragged the soldier, who had collapsed on the ground, away.

"From now on, whoever dares to let Gao Fei in without permission, I'll chop off his head!" After tossing out the threatening words, Yuwen Huatong stormed off, fuming.

...

Outside the army camp.

Chen San caught up to Gao Fei, fuming: "My lord, how could you bow down to him!"

"Then what do you propose?" Gao Fei retorted: "Should we have had a falling out with Yuwen Huatong and come to blows inside the camp?"

"I…"

"Yuwen Huatong is the legitimate Chiliarch. If I had laid hands on him inside the camp, it would have been my fault. If Yuwen Huatong reported me, I would have been in trouble."

"Damn it all! This is just too infuriating!"

"Temporary forbearance is for the sake of a better revenge later. Rest assured, I won't let this go just like that!"

"What does my lord plan to do?"

"After all, I am an official in active service. They could replace me when I went missing, but now that I've returned safe and sound, they owe me an explanation, by both emotion and reason," Gao Fei said in a heavy voice: "I'm writing to City Lord Bai right now, to inform him of what happened and ask him to uphold justice for me."

"Right," Chen San smacked his forehead: "City Lord Bai thinks highly of you, my lord. If you ask him for help, he'll definitely not ignore it."

"We mustn't delay. I'll write the letter right now." Gao Fei quickened his steps and left.

"My lord," Chen San called after him, shouting: "Have a good talk with City Lord Bai, ask him to recall Yuwen Huatong, and let you resume the position of Chiliarch."

"Yeah!" Liu Qing echoed, "That Yuwen Huatong is too arrogant. He deserves to be thoroughly slapped in the face! Swell up his cheeks! Turn him into a pig's head!"

"You two really hold a grudge," Gao Fei chuckled.

"Doesn't my lord hold a grudge too?"

"Doesn't my lord want to deal with Yuwen Huatong?"

"That's a good question." Gao Fei snapped his fingers: "To be frank, I also dislike Yuwen Huatong and want to deal with him too."

"I knew my lord was on the same page as us," Chen San laughed heartily.

"Just thinking about Yuwen Huatong getting his comeuppance makes me feel incredibly satisfied," Liu Qing also grinned from ear to ear.

When he returned to his temporary residence, Gao Fei found paper and started writing the letter. He wrote several thousand characters. After finishing, Gao Fei read it from start to finish to make sure there were no mistakes, then folded the letter neatly and placed it in an envelope.

"My lord's handwriting is truly elegant," Chen San admired: "It surpasses those calligraphers by far."

"If my lord entered a calligraphy competition, he would undoubtedly win first place," Liu Qing said, giving a thumbs up.

"Enough with the flattery," Gao Fei handed the letter to Chen San: "Take this personally, make sure the letter reaches City Lord Bai's hands."

"You can count on me, I'll see to it that the task is done," Chen San tucked the letter into his chest and strode off.

Gao Fei took a sip from his tea cup: "Liu Qing, go and find out who won the first place in the Sea of Death trial. Did they really reward over a thousand pieces of Amethyst?" This matter had been bothering Gao Fei for a while. He had intended to win the first place, but an accident had happened, and not only had he missed out on first place, he had also lost his position as Chiliarch, which was downright frustrating.

"All right, I'm on it," Liu Qing turned and left.
