NovelEnglishChapter 711: Lu Bai is Caught
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Bai is missing?”
Lu Zhaoyang heard everything, having stood so close to him.
Bai was constantly under Yan Se’s watch, so how did he disappear?
Huo Yunting hung up and consoled her, “We will find him, don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried if he was gone by his own will, but if Xiang Jinxi is behind this...” She stepped out of the elevator. “By the way, did I mess up the press conference today?”
Huo Yunting shook his head. “You can’t fake your emotions. Besides, I was being very frank too. It’s more convincing than reading off a script. I prepared the news conference for you not to explain anything to anyone, but to tell them to shut up unless they found any evidence.”
Lu Zhaoyang had nothing to say to that.

Some things can only be achieved through unconventional means.
“Business is sliding recently, so just concentrate on work. Please let me know once you have anything on Bai!”
She waved him goodbye and went to her own office.
She could only distract herself with work for now to avoid thinking about her mother’s death.
...
(At that moment, in a bungalow house at the perimeter of the military base...)
Someone gasped loudly from the brightly lit kitchen.
Auntie quickly went to the rescue. “Ma’am, let me do this!”
“It’s okay, I can handle this.”
In the kitchen, dressed in a mellow green dress and a blue apron was Wen He, and she was chopping some vegetables. Sweat was already beading on her forehead.
She had narrowly escaped a cut on her finger.
D*mn it, Huo Chen, why are you not back yet?!
Wen He finally finished preparing dinner. She took a shower and changed into her pajamas. Then, she sat at the dining table and stared at the door, waiting for him to come home.
She cursed herself as she waited. After all the adventures she had in her life, she never expected herself to succumb to this domestic routine.
She did not mind waiting on her husband and even cooking for him, but she did mind the fact that he was not showing any appreciation!
Is he really not coming home tonight?
“Ma’am, Major General Huo called just now. He asked you to eat first and not wait on him. He will be busy tonight.”
Auntie spoke from the living room.
“Busy?!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was right here with the troops, what could possibly occupy him until so late at night?!
She jumped out of the sofa and marched her way outside.
...
(Outside Interrogation Room 1.)
Huo Chen stood up straight in his military uniform, which accentuated his cold and ruthless aura.
His eyes were sharp, like they could stare right into one’s soul, and they were now directed at Lu Bai, who was nodding off in the interrogation room.
Yang Yi went to him and said, “Huo Chen, he’s all yours. You know what to do.”
Huo Chen nodded. “He will have demands.”
“Hmm... As long as they are reasonable, I’ll let you decide.”
Commander Yang said wearily. He then turned to leave with a smile on his face.
It took them five years to catch the man. Finally, they succeeded thanks to intel from Xiang Jinxi. He would sleep like a baby that night.
Huo Chen opened the door to the interrogation room and stepped inside.
Lu Bai took one tired look at him and then looked down.
He was not familiar with the man, but he recognized the similarities between him and Huo Yunting. This was Sister Zhaoyang’s first love and Wen He’s husband, Huo Chen.
