Chapter 604: Shouldn't Have Saved You

The soldier called out her name accurately, and in a commanding tone, stopping her from entering the water.

Jiang Yao was startled.

If she remembered correctly, this tone could only be heard either from an annoyed Lu Xingzhi or a person acting like a spoiled brat in the platoon, one whose nickname was spiky head, given by Lu Xingzhi.

Chen Feibai.

It was Chen Feibai on the rock!

Jiang Yao hurled every profanity she knew at Liang Yueze deep down in her heart.

After seeing Chen Feibai, she knew that Liang Yueze lied to her over the phone. Old General Liang was saying that the missing soldier came from the Jin City platoon, not the other way round. Although they were unsure of the identity of the soldier back then.

Damn it!

Jiang Yao cursed again. She knew that Liang Yueze did it out of concern for her, yet she could not help but feel angry.

She now understood why the name of the sacrificed soldier was not reported in any news.

With the Chen familys capabilities, it was not a surprise if they could block the publishing of his name on the news.

As the Chen familys only son, Chen Feibai perished in an act of bravery. It was heroic but tragic at the same time.

The Chen family did not want any more heroic acts, they needed an heir.

Chen Feibais death was a massive blow to the Chen family and immense anguish to his parents. If his name was made known, his parents would get hurt even more.

Every time they read the news, every time they saw his name, it would bring the pain back again.

Without entering the water, Jiang Yao would not know just how cold and freezing the water of West River could be in November, and how rapid the current was.

It was a mere two-meter distance, but Jiang Yao struggled even move.

Fortunately, the water was relatively shallow. She was able to cross it bare-footed initially. As she got closer, she leveraged the kayaks buoyancy and inched toward Chen Feibai.

She spent more than half an hour trying to navigate the two-meter between them.

Give me your hand! Jiang Yao extended her hand out in difficulty but seeing him shaking his head disapprovingly, she snorted. I am here already. If you do that one more time, I am going to smack you so hard!

It probably was Chen Feibais first time being berated like this. He thought about it and gave Jiang Yao his hand.

Jiang Yaos strength was greater than Chen Feibais expectation. The moment she grabbed his hand, she immediately pulled him off the rock. He had no idea how he landed in her kayak.

The sharp edges of the rock sliced through the wounds on his back. The numbness was instantly shattered by the immense pain as he gritted his teeth. But that woke him up a little too.

You shouldnt have come. Chen Feibai lay on the kayak and looked at Jiang Yao tying a rope on her waist and his. She was fast and seemed like she knew her stuff.

Back in the platoon, Chen Feibai remembered hearing about Captain Lu teaching Jiang Yao plenty of things, this seemed to be one of them.

In his pain, Chen Feibai thought he could see Lu Xingzhis face of regret if he knew later that what he taught his wife was used to save him.
