Yuan Shu stood in the distance as she looked at the man coldly.

After Jiang Chen tied up the man, he hurried over and asked her with concern, “How are you? Are you hurt?”

Yuan Shu shook her head. Before she could say anything, the police had already arrived.

The two of them followed the police to the police station. After recording their statements, a police officer said to Yuan Shu, “She’s already been detained. The whip you used to tie her up is on the table outside. You can take it away after you sign it.”

Yuan Shu didn’t want the whip that had whipped that scumbag, so she only nodded but didn’t intend to take it again.

Jiang Chen had already finished recording his statement and was waiting for her at the door. When he saw Yuan Shu come out, he handed her the shirt he was holding. “It’s a little windy tonight. I saw a shop at the entrance of the police station just now, so 1 bought you a shirt. Put it on.”

Yuan Shu thanked him and put on her shirt before walking towards the hotel.

The hotel wasn’t far away from the police station, so the two of them chose to walk instead of taking a taxi.

Jiang Chen followed Yuan Shu and the two of them were silent all the way back to their respective rooms in the hotel.

After Yuan Shu tidied up, she went to bed. Before lying on the bed, she took a last look at the time. It was already midnight. The surroundings were quiet, and she could even hear crickets chirping.

Yuan Shu was so tired that she didn’t even have time to think about what had happened today before she fell asleep.

Yuan Shu had a dream, where she seemed to have returned to the military camp. The soldiers were training. She and a group of soldiers of the same age had just finished the teacher’s class and were planning to enter the city in the afternoon.

This was the only day they were given free time every month. Every time this day came, they would go to the city to shop and eat delicious food that wasn’t available in the military camp, such as jujube pastry cakes from the pastry shop, stewed squab pigeons, and sweet candied hawthorn on the streets.

Just like that, the group of people got into the carriage to head into the city.

However, the city wasn’t peaceful that day. An assassin sneaked into the capital and was chased by the soldiers. The assassin panicked and grabbed a small soldier beside Yuan Shu.

He was the youngest among them and had just entered the military camp, so he wasn’t very skilled. After the assassin grabbed his shoulder and pressed a long saber against his neck, he cried in fear, but he didn’t wet his pants. This incident became something he bragged about countless times later on. “Back then, 1 didn’t wet my pants even when 1 had a saber against my neck!”

Yuan Shu gripped the whip in her hand tightly. She was very worried about the soldier’s safety, but she didn’t dare to attack rashly, so she could only watch from afar.

Suddenly, another soldier beside her nudged her and gave her a look. The two of them nodded tacitly. Then, this soldier took advantage of the fact that the assassin and the soldiers were negotiating and didn’t notice them to move behind the assassin.

Then, he shouted, “Don’t shoot!”

Everyone’s attention was attracted by this sound. The assassin thought that there was an ambush around and looked around in fear.

Yuan Shu took advantage of the fact that the assassin was distracted to whip him. The soldier who was shouting kicked the assassin and successfully saved the hostage.

The assassin committed suicide by biting his tongue after failing to assassinate the soldier.

Yuan Shu was very familiar with this scene. This was the first time she had faced weapons, enemies, and blood before going to the battlefield as an adult. Therefore, she remembered this very clearly. Even in her dream, every scene was very vivid.

However, Yuan Shu couldn’t remember the soldier’s name.

Who was he?

In the dream, Yuan Shu slowly approached them to see the soldier’s face clearly so that she could remember his name. However, it was as if there was a layer of fog. No matter how Yuan Shu approached, the soldier’s face was very blurry and distant.

He was still talking and laughing, and his voice was clear as he cooperated with Yuan Shu in her dream.. The two of them were obviously very familiar, but even though Yuan Shu searched her memories, she couldn’t remember this person’s appearance and who this person was…
