GTAS Arc. 2 Ch. 13

“At present, the military is mainly led by Liang Yong and Shen Zhichen. Liang Yong advocates for an offensive approach, believing in the formation of elite troops and seeking victory in adversity. Shen Zhichen, on the other hand, suggests feigning peace talks, setting up ambushes, and capturing the leader first…”

Listening to Lao Wu’s statement and analysis, Ji Linchen nodded thoughtfully. This time, he returned directly from the battlefield to the Ji family instead of going back to the military. Now, with the sudden invasion of the enemy, there must be spies infiltrating the army who knew he was not present, taking advantage of this loophole.

“How is the military currently handling this?”

Ji Linchen asked in a deep voice. At that moment, a small head leaned against his shoulder. When he turned his head, he found that Ji Yichen had fallen asleep at some point. His small head was hanging in the air, nowhere to rest but on Ji Linchen’s shoulder. Ji Yichen’s brows were furrowed, and his long, dense eyelashes were like two little brushes, tickling his heartstrings…

Next, Ji Linchen lifted his arm and gently pulled Ji Yichen into his embrace, making the little guy sleep more comfortably.

“Currently, Shen Zhichen is in charge. He proposes a feigned peace talk in the open. Liang Yong leads a special force, setting traps in secret, awaiting the arrival of the enemy envoy. They plan to capture the envoy and use it to blackmail the enemy.”

Ji Linchen grunted in response to this information. He lowered his head to look at the little guy sleeping soundly on his shoulder. Subconsciously, he reached out with his fingers, gently touching Ji Yichen’s eyelashes. Seeing Ji Yichen frown as if uncomfortable, he couldn’t help but smile and withdraw his restless warm hand.

Meanwhile, Lao Wu, who was driving in the front, naturally noticed Ji Linchen’s barely concealed joy reflected in the rearview mirror. With a hint of worry in his eyes, he lowered his voice and said softly, “General, in this plan, the one sent to meet the enemy envoy is… is Deputy General Shen’s sister, Shen Jiao.”

Ji Linchen’s figure stiffened at the mention of this. He furrowed his brows, his angular face turning even colder. “What is she doing there?”

Lao Wu unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel, feeling sweaty palms. “She… she said she is the future mistress of the Ji family. Since you’re not here, it’s natural for her to greet the envoy…”

“Nonsense! It was just a joke among the older generation back then. Now, it’s an extraordinary time. Holding onto outdated ideas, in a military with so many men, they actually let a woman take such risks! Are they not concerned about their reputation at all?”

Ji Linchen couldn’t contain his anger any longer. His hand involuntarily clenched into a fist, his solid chest heaving violently, his heroic eyebrows knitted tightly together.

“Ji, Ji Linchen, what’s wrong with you?”

Sensing the little guy in his arms waking up, Ji Linchen’s body stiffened for a moment. Then, feeling a pair of slightly cold little hands climbing onto his back, he eased his concealed anger and softened his frozen face. He reached out to pull Ji Yichen into his arms, shook his head, and didn’t tell him what had happened. After all, this was a matter within the military. Even if he told Ji Yichen, it would be of no avail.

Ji Yichen wasn’t actually asleep just now. He was indeed a bit tired from not getting enough rest last night, but the bumps along the road kept him from falling asleep. When Ji Linchen hugged him, he had already woken up. However, he didn’t want to open his eyes and quietly listened to what Lao Wu said.

This person Shen Zhichen, he had heard from the system, was a traitor planted in the military by the enemy country. Obviously, Shen Jiao didn’t know about this. According to Lao Wu, this Shen Jiao should be very fond of Ji Linchen, which was why she was so anxious to do something for him. But Shen Zhichen was also ruthless. He knew this was a plot, and yet he let his sister go, knowing she might not come back, just to ensure Ji Linchen’s army would be defeated…

Because Ji Yichen wants to pursue and complete Ji Linchen’s romantic storyline, now that he knows Ji Linchen has a fiancée, he naturally wants to ask the system what’s going on.

【…Host, Xiaoliu has already told you, don’t worry about anything else, just pursue and complete Ji Linchen’s romantic storyline.】

Ji Yichen’s brows furrowed tighter upon hearing this. What does this mean? Does it mean he has to be a third party [1] ?!

Ji Linchen’s private life is really messy! He has a fiancée arranged by his elders, yet he’s ambiguous with his trusted medic, and now he’s showing interest in Ji Yichen…

Ji Yichen looked up at the handsome face of Ji Linchen, who was suppressing his anger, and wrinkled his nose.

Damn, Ji Linchen is so damn handsome! He’s exactly Ji Yichen’s type. Determined, Ji Yichen directly kissed Ji Linchen’s cheek in front of his astonished gaze.

If he’s the third party, then so be it. After all, Ji Yichen won’t lose out!

[1] [3] 小三 (xiǎo sān): Literally “little three.” It’s a slang term for a mistress or the third person in an extramarital affair.affair.
