Chapter 834: Impossible to Let Her Go

The two guards at the entrance of the military prison didn’t even dare to nap.

In the past month, more criminals have been locked up than in an entire year before.

After all, they are the face of the place.

But every time White Fox came to escort someone, they couldn’t help but be curious and secretly asked:

“Master Bai, your Little Princess’s side has been quite active lately, did something provoke you?”

White Fox would give them a mysterious, faintly smiling glance, “Don’t gossip about everything, it’ll only harm you.”

The return of the “Little Princess” was kept tightly under wraps, and since coming back, she hadn’t shown up at the organization’s headquarters.

When she left, she didn’t notify anyone.

But Lang Hao and White Fox still came.

“I know I can’t stop you; I apologize for what happened back then.”

Nan Jiaojiao slammed the car door and walked briskly up to Lang Hao, “If you don’t bring it up, will you never get over it?”

Lang Hao cautiously tilted his head up, not daring to look down, even though he was a head taller than Nan Jiaojiao, he didn’t dare to look down on her.

“The situation was critical back then, I could only save you, besides, it was Eagle—”

“You aren’t qualified to use their code names!” Nan Jiaojiao snapped.

With the words at the tip of his tongue, Lang Hao pressed his lips and swallowed them, conceding, “Alright, I won’t mention it, I won’t justify myself, back then I could only save you, and besides, they both volunteered to cover the retreat.

Over the years, I’ve been taking care of their families, and if this sin can’t be atoned for, then I’ll carry it forever, I have no complaints.”

“Stop portraying yourself as so noble, you saved me because I was more useful.”

Lang Hao sighed, “Really, I didn’t.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t want to argue with him any further.

Whenever she thought about how her current life was exchanged for the lives of two comrades, it felt like their lives weighed heavily on her.

She couldn’t breathe.

So as soon as she woke up, the first thing she did was propose to leave the Killing Alliance.

As for whether Lang Hao approves or not, she doesn’t care.

When she arrived in Rongcheng City, she reunited with her sister Chu Yao, who had looked after her in the orphanage as a child, but Chu Yao was imprisoned.

During that time, Nan Jiaojiao nearly couldn’t hold on.

And Lang Hao’s casual remark, “They volunteered to cover your retreat,” forcefully pinned both the cause and the effect on her.

Regardless of Lang Hao’s character, just that sentence alone violated Nan Jiaojiao’s taboo.

“I might not leave the Killing Alliance, but I’m applying for retirement.

For both major and minor matters, they can bypass me, White Fox will take over all my responsibilities.

I’ll return to Rongcheng City, and if another task regarding Rongcheng City comes up—”

Nan Jiaojiao took a deep breath, “Show some mercy, pretend you don’t know me.”

Lang Hao’s eyes widened slightly.

A trace of dark light flashed in his ink-black pupils.

In an instant, it silently vanished.

He curled his lips into a slight smile, “Fine, as you wish, no matter what, the Killing Alliance will always be your fallback.”

“Bang!”

Nan Jiaojiao slammed the car door to respond.

It wasn’t until the car drove far away that White Fox let out a long-held breath, glancing sideways at Lang Hao, “Why did you have to provoke her?”

Bringing up a touchy subject.

Isn’t that just deliberately being annoying?

“You don’t understand, the Killing Alliance can never let her go.”

White Fox was stunned, “What’s wrong with me?”

“Nothing’s wrong with you.”

Lang Hao patted his shoulder, “But you’re not her, you’ll understand in time.”

White Fox adjusted the mask on his cheek, just grazing the edge of his cheekbone.
