Chapter 264: Overstepping the Master? Burning the Bridge After Crossing the River?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chen Jinrong just sat there expressionlessly. He was not as angry as before, but he gave off an even more dangerous feeling. He was like a dormant volcano that could erupt at any time.

Wang Xiao was even more puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he probed, “Commander Chen, is the information we found wrong?

The corners of Chen Jinrong’s mouth sank. “The information you found is very accurate and very detailed. It’s almost at the level reported by the military.”

When he said “almost”, Chen Jinrong glanced at Tang Longji intentionally or unintentionally. The latter immediately lowered his head with a strange expression.

Wang Xiao found it even more strange. “In that case, why are you still so angry?”

“Because you’re stealing the limelight!”

Chen Jinrong slammed the table with a bang and all kinds of messy things bounced up. “Do you know who you are? You’re a lord who assists in the operations! You’re not even a professional lord. You’re just a student in school!”

“Investigating this information is what our military is supposed to do. What do you mean by sending us ready-made information? Are you mocking us for being incompetent?!”

Wang Xiao’s expression changed and he hurriedly waved his hand.

“Commander Chen! I definitely didn’t mean that. I just wanted to help…

“Did I say I needed you?!”

Chen Jinrong shouted and his eyes widened like copper bells. “When we first cooperated, I already said that you were only hired to assist. Do you know what ‘assist’ means?” “I-I know…

“You know nothing!”

Chen Jinrong shouted again. He took out a few pieces of paper and slammed them on the table. “How can you do such a thing then? You actually investigated the information and then went on to meet the criminals later… Since you like to be a busybody, I might as well give you the position of commander-in-chief, okay?”

.. There’s no need.”

Wang Xiao lowered his head and replied softly, but he was still a little unconvinced. He only wanted to do his part. How did he ended up stealing the limelight?

“Are you unconvinced? Do you think I’m being too harsh?”

Chen Jinrong’s voice suddenly sounded, as if he had seen through Wang Xiao’s thoughts.

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before hurriedly shaking his head. “No, no. I know you’re doing this for my own good.

“Bullshit!”

Chen Jinrong interrupted Wang Xiao with a cold snort. Then, he changed the topic and said in a low voice, “From today onwards, you’re not allowed to participate in this matter anymore! Without my orders, you’re not allowed to investigate or come here. Do you understand?!”

When Wang Xiao heard this, he suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth as he asked, “Commander Chen, the truth of this matter is almost revealed. Are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing the river by telling me not to participate now?”

‘Wang Xiao!”

Tang Longji panicked and shouted softly, “How can you speak to Commander

Chen like that? Is Commander Chen that kind of person? Apologize quickly!”

“You don’t have to apologize! ”

Chen Jinrong raised his hand and looked at Wang Xiao expressionlessly. He said coldly, word by word, “I want to burn the bridge after crossing it. What can you do to me?”

Looking at the unreasonable Chen Jinrong, Wang Xiao could not help but grit his teeth. However, in the end, he did not say anything and silently turned around to slam the door and leave.

With a loud bang, the silk banner on the wall trembled three times.

Tang Longji subconsciously turned around and seemed to want to chase after him, but in the end, he stopped and looked at Chen Jinrong helplessly. “Old Leader, must you do this? He’s still a child!”

At this moment, Chen Jinrong no longer had that aggressive aura. He only looked at the closed door with a hint of loneliness, like an old father who left after having a conflict with his son and was left alone at home.

After half a minute, Chen Jinrong sighed and sat back in his chair. “It’s precisely because he’s a child that we can’t let him get too involved. You should know how dangerous this matter is.”

Tang Longji’s eyes flashed upon hearing this, but he immediately returned to normal. “That’s right. The Purple Star people are fierce and belligerent. It’s indeed quite dangerous to be associated with them.”

“I’m not talking about that.”

Chen Jinrong shook his head and gently tapped the few letters with his finger. “Wang Xiao probably doesn’t know some of the contents inside, right?” Tang Longji’s expression froze and he did not say anything.

“Looks like I was right. If he knew everything you found out, he wouldn’t be in this state.”

The corners of Chen Jinrong’s mouth curled up, but it didn’t seem like a smile. As he spoke, he lit a match, burned the letters, and threw them into the trash can.

Seeing the letters completely turn into ashes in the flames, Chen Jinrong picked up a pen and crushed the ashes. Then, he looked at Tang Longji and said, “Former Battalion Commander Tang Longji, listen up!”

Tang Longji subconsciously stood at attention and saluted. “Yes! ”

“As the commander-in-chief of the Kaiyang Military District, I order you to keep this matter to yourself.”

Chen Jinrong said in a low voice, his eyes vaguely revealing killing intent. “From now on, only the heavens and the earth know about this. If a third person nnas out, not only will you pay tne price, Dut I’ll also Dury tne entire Tang family with you!”

Looking at the murderous Chen Jinrong, Tang Longji could not help but swallow subconsciously. “I understand…’

“It’s good that you understand.”

Chen Jinrong nodded. Then, he retracted his killing intent and returned to his usual approachable appearance. “Wang Xiao won’t give up easily. He might look for you in the next few days. Think about what to say in advance. That kid is smart. Ordinary lies can’t deceive him.”

“I know. I’ll handle this matter.”

Tang Longji nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he probed, “Old Leader, about that matter I found out, did you know about it long ago?”

Chen Jinrong glanced at Tang Longji and finally nodded. “But I don’t know who that child is.”

“You really don’t know?”

Tang Longji expressed his doubts. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that Chen Jinrong’s expression was unfriendly. Without saying a word, he immediately changed his words. “I understand! I won’t ask anymore! If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first?”

After saying that, Tang Longji hurriedly left without waiting for Chen Jinrong to speak.

Chen Jinrong sighed softly. After getting up and locking the office door, he opened the file cabinet in the corner. He pinched one of the folders and gently pulled it. A secret door beside him popped out.

After opening the secret door, there was another heavy door made of mithril inside.

Chen Jinrong skillfully entered the password and scanned his fingerprints. Then, he pulled open the half-meter-thick mithril door and a vault filled with various confidential documents came into view.

Chen Jinrong walked in and raised a stack of documents with “S-Class Top Secret” written on them. He took out a photo from the bottom.

In the photo, two young people in military uniforms stood together with their arms around each other’s shoulders. The smiles on their faces were bright and cheerful.

One of them was Chen Jinrong, but he looked much younger than he was now. The other person’s facial features were vaguely similar to Wang Xiao’s.

Rubbing the surface of the photo with his fingertips, Chen Jinrong sighed softly.. “It’s been six years…”
