Love Crisis

"Tell all our men to retreat right away!" Brian commanded with a cold tone.

"Anyway, I currently have no plans on learning the truth, and I know for sure that the thing that happened to Steven Xia in the past isn't as simple as I thought."

"Someone from the military could've stepped in it,"

Vincent added.

A cold sneer curled Brian's lips. "It may not necessarily have something to do with the military," he said slowly.

"It's true that Jonny Zeng didn't take his part," Vincent replied calmly with an indifferent expression.

"But, I would like to believe that Jenifer Zeng's power and means are nothing less threatening than her grandfather's," he added.

"Her purpose is just Edgar," Brian said plainly.

He never once took that woman seriously.

"So, how should I reply to the buyer of the intelligence?" Vincent asked as his face twitched a bit.

Obviously, he was quite perplexed about how he should solve that question.

In the past, if a buyer asked to buy some intelligence from them, they would often give them great answers. But this time, since Richie got involved, they wouldn't be able to carry their investigation.

Vincent couldn't think of a way to address their problem and what to do next, for such situation never happened to the XK Intelligence Agency before.

"Well, there is nothing we can do but to refuse him," Brian said in a simple manner as if they were discussing a small matter.

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

Nothing could be seen aside from the spark shining from the cigarette in Steven's hands. He was lost in his thoughts until the cigarette butt burnt his fingers. Snapping out of his trance because of the pain, he threw the butt on the ground and stubbed it out.

"I thought you'll be able to keep yourself calm.

But it seems that you already fell in a pit!" a mocking voice told Steven in the midst of silence.

Steven raised his head and looked forward to see who was there. A figure was standing in the courtyard with his coat-tail dancing in the wind but couldn't see his face clearly in the vast darkness.

Steven stood up and stared at the man with an angered and pained look on his face. His fist suddenly clenched tightly, as if he was suppressing strong emotions inside all this time. He then asked the man in a low voice," For what reason did you come here?"
