WARNING! Tsundere President

Chapter 716: Take Her Down!

Wen He did not stop moving after her attack. She turned to Lu Bai and found the strength to lift him up, and then she prepared to make for the exit.

Everything happened so fast!

“Ma’am!”

The soldiers were taken by surprise. Some of them tried to stop her but Huo Chen stopped them just in time.

“Nobody move!”

The soldiers obeyed.

Huo Chen eyed the two soldiers that Wen He knocked out. She had fought without holding back.

He shifted his wary gaze to Wen He, who looked ready to attack again. She was in protective mode.

He took two steps forward and spoke calmly, “Wen He, put him down and I will ignore what you just did. You will not like the consequences!”

“Hah.”

Wen He chuckled. She had one arm around Lu Bai’s waist as she prepared to defend herself.

“Over my dead body. I am taking Bai away with me today and I don’t need your special treatment!”

“…”

Huo Chen’s eyes narrowed dangerously. He raised his arm slowly as he prepared to give an order to his men.

“What’s this nonsense!”

Suddenly, they all heard a stern voice that was fast approaching the cell.

All of them turned to look at the door, where a group of men were making a fast entrance into the underground prison.

They were headed by the base commander — Yang Yi.

He was in his military uniform and his expression was deadly serious. The men behind him marched in sync into the prison, and they were all fully armed.

“Commander!”

Huo Chen and the other soldiers saluted Commander Yang.

Yang Yi took in the situation. He rested his gaze on Wen He for a few moments and gestured with a wave.

“Take her down!”

“Yes sir!”

The men behind him raised their firearms and pointed at Wen He’s forehead.

Any wrong move and she might be shot down then and there.

Huo Chen’s composure was finally broken by the unexpected turn of events.

He looked at Wen He and saw the fear in her eyes as she took a few steps back.

Wen He’s fingers trembled as she looked at the dozens of guns pointed at her.

She did not wish to die yet, not while she had Bai.

“Huo Chen.”

At this critical moment, she chose to rely on Huo Chen. She bit down on her lip and looked at the familiar face. There was almost an unnoticeable hint of vulnerability in her eyes.

“Help me.”

“…”

Her eyes glimmered with fear and uncertainty as she put all her hopes on him.

Huo Chen had only ever seen Wen He when she was confident and daring, which was in sharp contrast to her current state. A sudden wave of sympathy overcame him.

He suppressed the emotion and took a step forward.

“Major General Huo!”

Yang Yi eyed him warningly. “Know your place. Wen He is your wife, but she is meddling with official business. She tried to free a prisoner and even harmed our own men. I have the right to get her locked up or even terminated!”

Click.

The moment he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him turned the safety off on their guns.

“Huo Chen!” Wen He cried shakily as she was backed to a corner.

Huo Chen was deep in his thoughts as he kept his roiling emotions suppressed. Soon, he regained his composure.

“Commander Yang, they cannot die yet.”
