Chapter 1010 - Accountable for All Citizens
He was a man who kept his promises, not easily breaking his words. Once he made a promise, it would be forever.
Her heart melted when he called her ‘Baby’.
This man wasn’t one who used affectionate words like this. He would always call her ‘little rascal’, ‘little lass’. This was his first time calling her ‘Baby’.
An’an stretched out both arms, hugging his trim waist. “Mm, I’ll be good and listen to you. Go into your battlefield, I’ll wait here for you to return. You must come back quickly.”
She didn’t raise any questions and wasn’t curious about anything. She just wanted to wait for him to come back.
“I’ll leave now, go back to sleep.”
Lu Yan let go of her, striding out of the room.
He left.
Now that he was caught red-handed, all of those connections of his had been uprooted together with him.
For the past month, Lu Yan and Chen Jin laid low just to catch the confidential secretary right in the act.
The confidential secretary had been defeated.
“You want to become the General, but do you even know what qualities the General needs to have in him?
“You don’t understand exactly why I wanted Lu Yan as my successor. That’s because you’ve never been on a rocky path, getting hurt by thousands of spikes on his journey. You’ve never been in the darkness, awaiting for the light to come. You’ve never given up on your love just for your nation. He did all of that, but you’ve never gone through even one of such events.
“You don’t have perseverance, tough bones, or the pure vision to become the General. This position and all of its power is given by the citizens of our nation. To stay in this position, you must also serve our people well, you’re going to be accountable for all citizens!”
Chen Jin spoke so powerfully, every word made a strong impression in everyone’s heart.
To climb all the way up to this position, who hadn’t made such sacrifices? It was only today he learned that Qianqian wasn’t his biological daughter.
Back then, he had an arranged marriage with his late wife. She had been a clean and innocent woman before her marriage and even after she married him, she remained virtuous. Though they didn’t have much love for each other, their marriage was a smooth one of mutual respect.
He hadn’t known that he had been cheated on.
After they wedded, he had to spend a few years as an undercover outside. He hadn’t gone home in a few years, it was at that time the confidential secretary took the chance and ruined his marriage.
The confidential secretary was distraught. All of the bad things he had done had been exposed, he had nowhere to hide now.
With things coming to such a state, he could only give it his last shot. The confidential secretary shouted with his face all contorted. “Kill them!”
…
In the hotel room.
An’an had an entire afternoon’s sleep. The sun rays seeped through the curtain, beaming down on her. She slowly opened her eyes and woke up. It was hard to believe how she suddenly loved sleeping so much.
A melodious ringtone sounded, she had an incoming phone call.
Reaching over, she picked up her phone. It was a call from her mother, Huo Yanmei.
She tapped on the screen to pick up the call. “Hello, Mom.”
“An’an, tell Mom the truth. Did Lu Yan cast you aside once he became the General? What nonsense is this, how dare he neglect my daughter like that. Haven’t you done enough for him!
“Don’t worry, An’an. Mom is going to look for Lu Yan now. I found out that he’s having training in the jungle. I’m already here now and I’m going to make a fuss at the training grounds. If he doesn’t give me a satisfactory answer today, let’s see how he’s going to continue remaining as General!”
