966: The Price Of Thanks

The Price Of Thanks

Green District welcomed its first thunderstorm in winter. This huge drop in temperature extinguished the souls of many mortals.1

A sudden decrease in temperature blew across Jiang District, which was not far from Green District, too.

However, despite the storm outside, the atmosphere was wholesome and warm inside the small house in the military base.

Under the warm light, Zhong Nuannuan was munching on a crispy apple after a shower, enjoying Big Brother Chi Yang blowing her hair dry.

"Quwei's dead."

The two of them were originally talking about Leng Qirui when Chi Yang digressed to talk about Qu Wei instead.

Zhong Nuannuan paused.

"How did he die?"

"I don't know. It was a weird death. When we were questioning him, he suddenly started to vomit blood and died. It took less than five seconds for him to die. That makes me wonder, how did Yang Min die?"

Zhong Nuannuan had nothing to hide from Big Brother Chi Yang, so long as he asked.

Therefore, Zhong Nuannuan told him everything she found out from interrogating Matchmaker. Of course, she did not dare to mention that she went to KYC Island to capture Matchmaker.

"Therefore, this is all because a bug had been installed in their brains. Under the bug's control, the bug would explode in their central nervous system whenever they speak about the organization's secrets. They'd start hemorrhaging in the brain, and that'd cause them to spit out large mouthfuls of blood. With this, KE Organization could control their henchmen, thus letting them carry out their missions so blatantly.

The howling outside stopped.

Zhong Nuannuan, "…???"

"So, that meant that you didn't go to Luntan, but instead, went to KYC Island in Velmina for the past two days? Moreover, you went there alone to assist those fighting the 500 killers on KYC Island?"

Zhong Nuannuan, "…"

Damn!

Since Big Brother Chi Yang stayed in Jiang District for too long, Zhong Nuannuan had always thought that he would only focus on the matters in Jiang District. It slipped her mind that her Big Brother Chi Yang was the best special forces lieutenant general in Emperor District—and the leader of the most overpowering Hawk Special Forces.

Even if he was physically in Jiang District, he knew everything that happened in Emperor District.

Therefore, it did not make sense that Nuannuan kept forgetting to use her brain whenever she was with Big Brother Chi Yang out of habit.

She expected Big Brother Chi Yang to continue with questions on why she risked her life without telling him; why must she capture Matchmaker; what relationship did she have with Matchmaker; or why must she rescue the Nangong family members; or what did she have to do with the Nangong family et cetera...

However, Chi Yang only stared at Nuannuan intensely. He held her small face and asked with obvious heartache in his voice, "Are you hurt?"

Nuannuan was taken back. Then, warmth surged in her heart and she shook her head quickly. "No, I'm fine!"

"That's good. Nangong Jin borrowed three people from me this time. This time, a total of seven people survived with the Nangong brothers. Those three who survived are all my subordinates."

Zhong Nuannuan smiled. "That's great!"

"They worship you nearly as much as the respect they have for me. If I told them that their sister-in-law was the one who rescued them, they'd definitely worship you even more."

With that, Chi Yang kissed Nuannuan's lips deeply.

"Like I said last time, I won't thank you verbally, so I'll kiss you to express my gratitude instead." As he spoke, he looked at Nuannuan's lips that had turned red from the kiss, and gave her another involuntary kiss.

Nuannuan, "…"

Chi Yang explained, "You saved three people, so I'll kiss you three times."

After saying that, he bent down and mashed his lips to Nuannuan's red lips again.
