Chapter 17
Averting the Crisis of Zheng Yaoxian's Exposure!

Chen Han Wen's sudden appearance startled Zheng Yao Xian. He had been on high alert, but he hadn't expected Chen Han Wen to approach him so silently.

Zheng Yao Xian's presence there was a deliberate 'accident', he wasn't worried about being discovered by his colleagues, but seeing Chen Han Wen made his heart tighten instantly.

In the Military Control Commission, Zheng Yao Xian couldn't fathom Chen Han Wen the most. He suspected Chen Han Wen's identity, but he had specifically asked Lu Han Qing about Chen Han Wen, requesting his superiors to help verify Chen Han Wen. However, the feedback he received was that Chen Han Wen was 'friendly towards our party', but as for whether he was his comrade... the confirmed response was: No!

Since he wasn't his own, Zheng Yao Xian wanted to eliminate him.

It wasn't because Chen Han Wen had any malicious intent, but because Zheng Yao Xian felt an immense sense of crisis from him. It was as if Chen Han Wen saw through all of his secrets.

Zheng Yao Xian carried a mission, eliminating someone wouldn't make him feel guilty, and moreover, Chen Han Wen's methods scared him.

Chen Han Wen was ruthless, he would take the life of anyone who offended him, and even went as far as to not spare the enemy's family.

With such ruthless methods and exceptional abilities, if he stayed on the side of the Kuomintang, he would be a huge threat to our party. Zheng Yao Xian wanted to eliminate Chen Han Wen, but Chen Han Wen's strength had always kept him from taking action.

In front of Chen Han Wen, Zheng Yao Xian felt like he was staring into a quiet abyss that could devour everything. If he acted rashly against Chen Han Wen, Zheng Yao Xian feared that he would end up losing more than he gained, ultimately hurting himself.

Not to mention, during the assassination at Yu Hua Tai, Chen Han Wen, in a room barely bigger than ten square meters, faced five assassins. He didn't use a gun, relying on hand-to-hand combat and cold weapons to kill all five of them, unscathed.

As far as Zheng Yao Xian knew, the assassins who tried to kill Chen Han Wen were not simple thugs, but were highly trained and had been lurking in the mountainous city for years, carrying out numerous assassination missions. Yet, they failed miserably against Chen Han Wen.

Thinking about his own guerilla forces... Zheng Yao Xian had to abandon his plan to assassinate Chen Han Wen and choose to coexist peacefully with him.

Zheng Yao Xian had another identity, and encountering Chen Han Wen on the street so suddenly made him subconsciously wonder if Chen Han Wen had come to cause trouble. Hearing Chen Han Wen's words further angered him.

What do you mean, like you?

Cheng Zhen Er was his first love, they were pure revolutionary lovers. Didn't you, Chen Han Wen, just take a fancy to the beauty of that Military Control Commission woman?

Zheng Yao Xian couldn't help but laugh inwardly at Chen Han Wen's words, but outwardly he pretended to be nonchalant: "Chief Chen, long time no see. I heard you were put under confinement, how come you're out so soon? As expected of the Chairman's trusted aide, the brother of Director Dai, this treatment is unmatched."

Zheng Yao Xian's words were laced with sarcasm. Cheng Zhen Er, standing beside him, showed a look of vigilance. Meanwhile, Ai Mei Zhen, standing next to Cheng Zhen Er, widened her eyes and peeked at Chen Han Wen from behind Cheng Zhen Er.

Chen Han Wen, this legendary handsome man, had many stories circulating in the Military Control Commission. Some said he was a great hero, a champion of the resistance, while others said he was despicable, shameless, and a complete scoundrel.

Ai Mei Zhen was seeing Chen Han Wen for the first time and thought: How could such a handsome man like Chen Han Wen be a complete scoundrel?

Chen Han Wen glanced at Zheng Yao Xian: "Internal matters should be kept within. Lao Liu, saying it in front of outsiders, are you trying to make them laugh? Where is your discipline?"

“……”

Zheng Yao Xian hadn't expected Chen Han Wen to use the Military Control Commission's discipline to pressure him, leaving him speechless.

I haven't seen you, Chen Han Wen, follow the discipline much. Why are you suddenly emphasizing discipline now?

But Zheng Yao Xian couldn't refute him. If Chen Han Wen truly kept emphasizing discipline, he would be the one suffering.

Cheng Zhen Er, on the other hand, seeing Chen Han Wen bully Zheng Yao Xian, felt a bit unhappy: "Chief Chen, do you need others to publicize your deeds? Sister Tao has mentioned them many times in the Military Control Commission."

This silly girl!

Chen Han Wen was speechless.

What could it hurt to get a few scoldings? Why is she so eager to stand up for Zheng Yao Xian? Isn't this giving Ai Mei Zhen an excuse?

Zheng Yao Xian also noticed that Cheng Zhen Er's words were biased towards him. His heart suddenly panicked. His persona was that of Cheng Zhen Er's pursuer, while Cheng Zhen Er was indifferent towards him. Now, she was suddenly standing up to Chen Han Wen, wasn't this putting herself in the firing line?

No one else knew, but Zheng Yao Xian was very clear that Chen Han Wen was a first-class intelligence expert. It was Chen Han Wen who first predicted the time of Japan's invasion of China. Including the number of troops Japan would use to invade Shanghai, if given enough time, Chen Han Wen could even predict the intelligence down to the Japanese squadron level.

Zheng Yao Xian's ability to crack the Japanese's attack on Pearl Harbor was also inspired by Chen Han Wen.

Such a meticulous intelligence expert, any trace would be seen as a flaw. Cheng Zhen Er's sudden outburst, wasn't this exposing herself to Chen Han Wen?

Ai Mei Zhen seemed to have picked up on something. Looking at Cheng Zhen Er, and then at Zheng Yao Xian, she suddenly realized that Cheng Zhen Er and Zheng Yao Xian were not as incompatible as they appeared on the surface.

Cheng Zhen Er had suddenly exposed a flaw. Zheng Yao Xian was in a panic, he had to patch up the flaw Cheng Zhen Er had revealed in the shortest, quickest time possible.

But how to patch it up, Zheng Yao Xian couldn't think of a solution for a while.

Zheng Yao Xian couldn't think of a way, but Chen Han Wen suddenly laughed and said: "Didn't expect Ms. Cheng Zhen Er to be a fiery little pepper. So you're standing up for your Sister Tao? Or are you interested in me, but since Sister Tao got there first, you're jealous?"

“????”

Zheng Yao Xian: This can be explained?

He was just thinking about how to help Cheng Zhen Er cover up her flaw.

Before he could make a move, Chen Han Wen helped him cover up Cheng Zhen Er's flaw.

But, what's with Cheng Zhen Er being jealous?

Zheng Yao Xian's face turned black.

Chen Han Wen is definitely not a good person. I said I was pursuing Cheng Zhen Er, what's with you butting in?

Cheng Zhen Er knew she had exposed a flaw and was worried about how to fix it. But she didn't expect Chen Han Wen to suddenly speak, making the flaw disappear.

However, the way she covered up the flaw was really sneaky, especially when Zheng Yao Xian heard those words, making Cheng Zhen Er's face flush: "Ugh, who likes you?"

"You can love someone even if you don't like them."

Chen Han Wen glanced at Zheng Yao Xian, then continued to talk to Cheng Zhen Er: "Brothers are like limbs, women are like clothes. Lao Liu and I are not brothers, so there's no such thing as limbs. But this outfit of yours, I'm not willing to take it off."

Cheng Zhen Er saw that Chen Han Wen was getting more and more out of line, especially since he was doing it in front of her beloved. This angered her even more. She raised her head to retort, but she saw that Chen Han Wen's eyes were constantly glancing at Ai Mei Zhen behind her. Cheng Zhen Er immediately thought of a solution.

Oh, so Chen Han Wen doesn't like me, he has his eyes on Ai Mei Zhen.

Ugh!

What a pervert!

With a gloomy face, Cheng Zhen Er directly said: "Chief Chen, please restrain yourself! I don't like you. You already have Sister Tao, so don't try anything with Little Ai anymore."

She then linked arms with Ai Mei Zhen, indicating that she would protect her sister and not let her fall into the tiger's mouth.

She did this to also tell Zheng Yao Xian that Chen Han Wen doesn't like me, he likes Ai Mei Zhen.

Ai Mei Zhen, the one being gossiped about, was stunned: There's something about me in this?

Looking at Chen Han Wen in front of her, Ai Mei Zhen unconsciously blurted out: "I'm willing!"

“?????”

Cheng Zhen Er and Zheng Yao Xian both widened their eyes, what kind of melon is this?
