The Surrogate Bride of Young General Leng - Chapter 49

49. Deceiving Everyone

Translator: Amber97

Seeing Bai Chongxiu coming over, Bai Peiya, who had been panicked, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Bro, you’re finally here. There’s a liar here who says she is General Leng’s fiancee. It’s so ridiculous. You should send someone to arrest her!”

Bai Chongxiu once saw Su Ruoqing when he went to General Leng’s residence, so he recognized her at first glance. “Madam, how did you get here? Why are you hurt?”

Bai Chongxiu gave a sharp look at Bai Peiya and signaled to her to stop talking, “Peiya, don’t talk nonsense. How can you say that General Leng’s fiancee is a liar? Apologize to her quickly.”

Bai Peiya didn’t want to accept the fact that she had already realized. She took a meaningful look at Su Ruoqing and left.

“Madam, are you looking for General Leng?”

Bai Chongxiu continued to ask, but Su Ruoqing didn’t answer him. It seemed that she was in a disturbed state of mind.

“Your feet were injured and it’s bleeding now. The wounds must be cleaned immediately. No offense.” He held Su Ruoqing’s arm and took her to the military doctor to deal with the wounds.

He called the soldiers over, wanting to find out what had happened.

“Tell me, what happened just now?”

The soldiers looked at each other a few times and answered, “Mr. Bai, when Miss Su came to look for General Leng today, Miss Bai happened to be in the room. Later, Miss Su asked us to leave, so we didn’t know what happened afterwards. After a while, Miss Bai said that there was an assassin upstairs and asked us to catch that person. Then you saw what happened next.”

Bai Chongxiu knew that these soldiers dared not tell him lies, and he sort of figured out what had just happened.

Peiya liked Leng Yuhe, so she must have indecent ideas when going to Leng Yuhe’s room. The tricky thing now was that Su Ruoqing saw the two of them.

The military doctor pulled out the broken glass stuck in Su Ruoqing’s feet one by one. A piece of glass was so deep that when the doctor pulled it out, he tore off a piece of skin with a lot of blood. Even though she was trembling with pain all over her body, she still kept silent and seemed to be in a trance.

Bai Chongxiu was never a compassionate person, but when seeing the girl trembling in a cold sweat, he had a little sympathy towards her.

“How is Miss Su’s injury?”

“She basically got skin injuries, but there is a piece of glass that is particularly long and hurts her tendons. She may need to rest for a long time. If the wounds cannot completely heal, I am afraid that she will suffer from other diseases in the future.”

The doctor cleaned all the glass in Su Ruoqing’s feet. After disinfecting and cleaning the wounds, he wrapped gauze around her feet, told some precautions to her and then left.

Only Bai Chongxiu and Su Ruoqing were left in the room.

“Madam, what did you see just now?” Bai Chongxiu was certain that Su Ruoqing must have seen something that stimulated her to become like this. Since it was related to his only sister, he had to know the truth so that he could think of a way to solve the problem.

Su Ruoqing had been expressionless for a long time. Hearing his question, she finally changed her expression and raised the corners of her mouth, showing a bitter smile on her face.

“What did I see? I saw your sister sitting on my fiance’s lap, and I saw her seducing my man in front of me. Do you want me to tell you how they held each other?”

Su Ruoqing might have suppressed her negative feelings for too long. As a result, she vented out her anger without caring who she was facing now.

Bai Chongxiu hurriedly closed the door, fearing that others might hear Su Ruoqing’s words.

“Madam, you can’t say that without solid proof. If the outsiders hear these words, Peiya’s reputation will be ruined. I hope you will be more cautious with your words and deeds. Even though you are General Leng’s fiancee, Peiya also has a high social status.”

Su Ruoqing knew he was threatening her, but she was not afraid at all. Anyway, she had nothing else to lose.

“You don’t have to say this to scare me. If your sister dares to seduce my fiance, she has to admit her fault. If Leng Yuhe really betrays me, I won’t let him off, either.”

Bai Chongxiu didn’t want to argue with her anymore. He turned around and locked Su Ruoqing in the room before leaving.

He called his confidant over and said, “Find out how many people know about what happened today. Find a way to let them keep it a secret and make sure that no one else knows about it before tonight.”

In order to protect Bai Peiya, he could only do this. As for Su Ruoqing, he would find another way to compensate her in the future, but he must make things clear to his sister first.

“Peiya, do you know that you did a wrong thing today?”

Bai Peiya was still shocked by Su Ruoqing’s real identity. She took a look at Bai Chongxiu and turned around.

“Even if you like Leng Yuhe, you must always remember that you are the President’s daughter. You must never let anyone or anything…”

“That’s enough! I indeed like Leng Yuhe, but what’s wrong about it? You don’t have to preach at me.” With that, she pushed Bai Chongxiu out.

Standing outside the room, Bai Chongxiu stopped knocking at the door. “I’ve dealt with today’s situation. Remember not to mention it again.” After saying that, he stood at the door for a long time before leaving.

Throughout the night, this accident haunted Bai Chongxiu, Bai Peiya and Su Ruoqing, and they all suffered from insomnia.

The next morning, Leng Yuhe gradually became sober and returned to his normal state, but he still had a severe headache. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to hear Ruoqing’s voice and saw her figure when he was drunk yesterday.

After washing himself, he called some people over to ask about what happened last night, but everyone said they didn’t see Su Ruoqing.

“General Leng, why did you wake up so early today? You were heavily drunk last night. I brought you some soup to sober you up, and this is your breakfast.”

Bai Peiya walked in with a plate and pretended that nothing had happened yesterday.

Leng Yuhe was expressionless. “I don’t need them. Take them out.”

After regaining composure, Leng Yuhe treated her with a totally different attitude compared with last night. Bai Peiya couldn’t accept it, and she kept motionless for a while.

Su Ruoqing was locked in a room by Bai Chongxiu for a whole night. She was overwhelmed with sorrow and distress, and she stayed up all night.

“Madam, I don’t know if you are a little calmer now.”

Bai Chongxiu brought medicine and food to her personally, but when seeing Su Ruoqing’s depressed look, he felt guilty, not knowing what to say.

Both rooms were in an awkward atmosphere.

Suddenly, an explosion rang out, and everyone was panicked by the deafening sound.

“There are enemies! The enemies are coming!” The soldiers on the tour shouted, and Leng Yuhe immediately got up and prepared for the battle.

The enemies continued to attack them with bombs, which blowed up the defensive lines that had already been laid out. What’s wore, they began to bomb every room in the villa.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of gunfire and explosions came again, and most of the rooms were bombed, including the ones where Su Ruoqing, Bai Chongxiu, Bai Peiya and Leng Yuhe were in.

Su Ruoqing’s feet were injured and it was inconvenient for her to move. She was knocked down by the broken beams that collapsed. Bai Chongxiu had wanted to run away himself, but when thinking of the great fortitude she showed yesterday, he couldn’t help feeling pity for her. Eventually, he ignored his own safety and went back to save her.

Although the pain was unbearable, Su Ruoqing was conscious at this time. She knew that it was Bai Chongxiu who saved her life.

The enemies arrived earlier than they had expected, and it seemed that everyone was caught off guard. Leng Yuhe pulled Bai Peiya out of the room in time, and this scene was just seen by Su Ruoqing behind them. She was more convinced that she had been betrayed by Leng Yuhe.

Leng Yuhe turned around and saw Bai Chongxiu holding a woman in his arms. It was dusty everywhere because of the gunfire, so he couldn’t see her figure and appearance clearly. Also, he didn’t expect her to be Su Ruoqing, so he just glanced at the woman and continued to rush out of the villa.

“Don’t panic. Follow the original plan.”

Leng Yuhe took up his rifle and killed two enemies. He continued to command his troops calmly.

When he found a safer place, he left Bai Peiya there. “Don’t go out and run around. Try your best to keep your own safety.” After saying that, he continued to fight with the enemies.

Although it was only a simple sentence, it made Bai Peiya feel that he valued her very much. She thought he was a good man to rely on, and her affection for him became deeper.

“The elite troops should advance at full speed, and the rest of you should try your best to delay the time and inflict more damage to the enemies here, so that we can have a greater chance to win the battle afterwards.”

In order to make the plan successful, Leng Yuhe had long ignored the discomfort of his own body. He led the soldiers behind him to charge at the enemies and defeat them.

“Commander, our men from the front said that the enemies have been resisting our attack. The situation is not good for us now.”

Shen Nan frowned slightly and turned the ring on his finger. “I think their reinforcements cannot arrive in this short period of time. Maybe they are trying their best to resist our attack now.”

After thinking for a while, Shen Nan finally made a decision.

“Inform the soldiers on the front immediately that they must do their utmost to win the battle. We have plenty of soldiers and weapons. I want to see how long Leng Yuhe’s army can hold out.”

However, Shen Nan’s assumptions were wrong.

The number of soldiers and weapons in Leng Yuhe’s army far outpaced that of Shen Nan’s, and the advantage gained by the sneak attack gradually disappeared.

“Commander, we don’t know why the number of enemies suddenly increased. Besides, their weapons are very advanced. Our army can no longer resist their fierce attack. The soldiers are severely injured, and some even died.”

Only then did Shen Nan know that he had been deceived, but he was unwilling to give up at this time.

Seeing his hesitant expression, all of his subordinates persuaded him, “Commander, as long as we keep our strength, we still have a chance to win in the future. We’d better retreat now.”

Shen Nan pounded his clenched fist on the table. “Tell the soldiers on the front to retreat immediately!”

Seeing that the number of enemies had decreased, Leng Yuhe knew that things had developed according to their expectations, and the battle plan had gradually taken effect. He had been tense all the time, and now he finally relaxed a little bit.

“Some of you shall stay here and hold your ground, while the others should join the elite troops to support them.” With some of the soldiers, Leng Yuhe set off to the border.

At this time, Bai Chongxiu was on his way home with Su Ruoqing.

Su Ruoqing was badly injured, and she was distressed with the fact that Leng Yuhe had betrayed her. As a result, she had been talking nonsense with a high fever.

“Yuhe, how could you treat me like this… Yuhe…”

Bai Chongxiu wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and tears from the corners of her eyes. Then he ordered the driver to drive faster.

Seeing that Leng Yuhe was leaving, Bai Peiya left to chase him, but she was stopped by several soldiers. “Miss Bai, General Leng ordered us to take you home. Other than that, you are not allowed anywhere.”

“No. I’m going to help him. Where’s my brother? I’ll let him take me to Leng Yuhe.”

“Miss Bai, don’t make things difficult for us. Mr. Bai has already returned home.”

After arguing for a while, she still couldn’t persuade them. Feeling helpless, Bai Peiya could only follow the arrangement. With deep worry about Leng Yuhe, she got in the car and returned home.
