Chapter 684: Woman, You Promised to Take Care of Me 9
Zhao Lin was stunned once again.
The Admiral takes out two hours every day to accompany a man?
This is simply, unbelievable.
Honestly, at many times, no, practically all the time, Zhao Lin would not regard Su Yan as a woman.
She is the War God.
Invincible in battle, fiercer than any man.
So, when he heard that the Admiral could be hindered by matters of affection, he couldn’t help but feel, it was unbelievable.
But he quickly responded,
"Yes."
Followed closely, he walked obediently behind the Admiral.
The near fatal incident Su Yan caused to Sun Xi quickly led to an invitation from Admiral Sun Ming for tea the following morning.
Although an Admiral like Su Yan, her seniority was still a bit less than the other two.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she found that it was not only Admiral Sun Ming present.
There were other military ranks from the Sun Family in the military region.
Two of Sun Xi’s uncles, a brother, and a granduncle were all there.
They were all sitting there waiting for her arrival.
The air was quiet, and Su Yan lifted her gaze to sweep over everyone present.
"Admiral Sun Ming."
She called out to greet.
Then, she reached out to pull out a chair nearby, and the chair legs grated against the floor with a screeching sound.
Su Yan sat down.
Zhao Lin stood straight and tall behind her.
Nobody across from her uttered a word, and Admiral Sun Ming, with his hair half-white, had it neatly combed.
With a pleasant expression on his face, he said nothing, just sipped the tea in front of him slowly.
They remained silent, as did Su Yan.
She simply took off her white gloves from her hands.
Placed them on the table.
Then, she picked up the cup of tea in front of her.
She clearly had the patience to wait.
Five minutes later, Sun Xi’s uncle finally lost his patience.
With a bang, he slapped the table.
"Su Yan! You injured Xi for no reason; even if you’re an Admiral, you can’t use your status to bully your subordinates!"
The uncle, who was slightly overweight, shook the table with his slap.
Su Yan glanced at him.
After a long while,
"It seems the reason your nephew dares to be so arrogant is that you, his uncle, taught him well."
The uncle’s face turned red with anger.
"Su Yan, you—!!!"
Su Yan’s response was cold.
"A mere lieutenant dares to yell and scream; who gave you the audacity, and whose power are you relying on?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept over Admiral Sun Ming who was sitting opposite her, silent all this while.
None of those present dared to speak.
The air fell silent once more.
Until, across the table, Admiral Sun Ming narrowed his eyes and spoke,
"Su Yan, it was you who injured my son first. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
Admiral Sun Ming’s words were high and mighty, as if waiting for Su Yan to apologize and show weakness.
It was probably a habit of his.
The Sun Family had been rooted for decades; anyone with brains wouldn’t oppose the Sun Family.
Su Yan took a sip of her tea.
Slowly she said,
"He committed insubordination; by the law, he should be executed by firing squad. Considering he’s still alive, let him come and apologize in person after he’s healed."
Upon her words, Admiral Sun Ming’s face momentarily took on an ugly expression.
The uncles and granduncles sitting to the side smirked coldly.
Sun Xi’s second uncle spoke up,
"Su Yan, are you joking..."
Before he could finish, suddenly, dozens of armed soldiers poured into the doorway.
Su Yan remained seated in her place, still sipping tea one sip at a time.
The people opposite her were taken aback; when those gun barrels were all aimed at them, their expressions darkened considerably.
Sun Xi’s granduncle, who had been silent until now, spoke,
"What is the meaning of this?!"
