Faced with the unreasonable fat man, Jiu Ling's pretty face was pale with indecision, unsure how to respond. Was she really going to fight this guy?

As she glanced around, she sent a pleading look to Kexiao... At least say something! Hey, how can you just stand there without saying a word, Kexiao? This isn't like you.

Kexiao seemed indifferent to Jiu Ling's almost murderous gaze—after all, it's you who wants to find Feng Yi, not me. Kexiao understood one thing: reasoning with women sometimes doesn't go through, but chatting with this fat guy could be even more unreasonable than with women, afraid of uttering the wrong sentence and lowering his IQ.

"Uh…" Kexiao hesitated.

"Hm? What?" The fat man, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, instantly turned his attention to Kexiao and said, "No one's going to work today."

"Cough! I didn't say anything. The weather is really nice today, but..."

"But what?"

"Is Feng Yi here? Jiu Ling is specifically looking for him."

"That guy hasn't arrived yet." Zhang Xiaobo's attention was successfully diverted, and he asked suspiciously, "Why is she looking for Feng Yi? They're not planning to duel in the mecha, are they?"

"With matters between men and women, you can fully use your imagination."

It would have been better if the fat man hadn't listened, but upon hearing this, he was shocked. Could this woman and Feng Yi be involved? It shouldn't be; Feng Yi had never mentioned it before, especially considering she was once an enemy soldier.

Of course, the fat man wasn't surprised at all by Feng Yi having several wives and concubines. Outstanding men often have followers, like himself when Sara pursued him relentlessly with her affection display. This was something worth mentioning, especially for someone as remarkable as Feng Yi, who was comparable to himself.

From the early Sheng Qiangwei, to Angelina of the Military Department, Captain Amelia, even Mengdie, these were just what he knew of, who would have thought this guy secretly developed and flirted with women from enemy nations.

Really...

The fat man's expression finally softened a bit at this thought, considering Feng Yi, he couldn't make things difficult for her.

Without further entanglement, the fat man coldly glanced at Jiu Ling and strolled away. Until Zhang Xiaobo walked far away, Jiu Ling then remembered to complain, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Sighing with a bitter smile, Kexiao said, "I never supported you seeing Feng Yi."

"But, but I'm already here, why do you persistently advise me against seeing him?"

"Do you see them, those two kids over there?" Kexiao pointed toward Feng Luo and Feng Wu a hundred meters away and said, "They are the reason."

"Kids, could it be..." Jiu Ling pondered, finally realizing something.

"As you can see, the reason I didn't want you to come is self-evident. The one you're looking for has already become a father. Of course, I am in no position to interfere with others."

At that moment, Jiu Ling's pale face instantly lost color, her body suddenly felt devoid of strength, swaying on the spot before collapsing... thinking aloud, "He deceived me... He deceived me, but this shouldn't be, he's not that kind of person..."

"Calm down, Jiu Ling. You say he deceived you? What did he deceive you about?"

After a brief lapse, Jiu Ling finally realized that if there was anyone in the world who understood Feng Yi, it would indeed be Kexiao, "Um, Kexiao, you should be the one who understands him best."

"If you mean Feng Yi, I would say I understand him reasonably well."

"But he once said he would come back to find me."

"Come back to find you?" Even Kexiao was a bit baffled by Jiu Ling's words, what find you or not, he disliked conversing with those whose thoughts were illogical and chaotic, but today was an exception, "Jiu Ling, speak slowly, consider before you speak."

"I'm sorry. It goes like this..."

Jiu Ling then recounted to Kexiao the conversation between her and Feng Yi, which wasn't much of a secret in Saudi. Feng Yi had once used the alias of the gunslinger Rafael, and because of this, by chance, she met Rafael and gradually got together and became lovers.

Until one day, Rafael was moved by her sincerity, and before leaving, he revealed his true identity, Feng Yi—none other than Revenge Shadow Rider, and this became an indelible memory for Jiu Ling...

Perhaps for most girls, love is just a game, and with time, memories ultimately settle in an inconspicuous corner of the heart. However, Feng Yi turned out to be Jiu Ling's first love, coupled with him being exceptionally outstanding, handsome, with a good personality, humorous, articulate while calm and composed, without a temper. Overall, he was absolutely a type girls liked, which made his impact quite significant.

Jiu Ling's words left Kexiao feeling somewhat complex, he sometimes frowned, sometimes squinted, wondering if Feng Yi was really that terrifying? Luckily he returned to being male, for if the female hormones were active for too long and he liked this guy, that would've been quite entertaining.

Jiu Ling continued explaining to Kexiao that until the end of the war, Feng Yi had deliberately sought her out to apologize but did not ask for forgiveness.

Jiu Ling's expectation was, of course, not an apology but an explanation, a promise. Because she believed she understood Feng Yi, he wasn't someone who would tell lies casually, so she wanted him to give her an answer.

However, Jiu Ling never anticipated that Feng Yi would really promise her, but before that, Feng Yi announced he would undertake a distant journey for a secret mission that would take a year, and if he didn't return, they should assume he was dead and not wait any longer.

To others, this might seem more like an excuse, with Feng Yi subtly trying to make her forget him completely, but Jiu Ling did not think this way.

On the battlefield, she had too many encounters with Revenge Shadow Rider, and from the files, she knew too much about his stories, so Jiu Ling believed Feng Yi's words were not casually spoken, but sincere.

Years flew by, and the once silent person unexpectedly began resurfacing recently with frequent news, and initially Jiu Ling did not believe it, until she clearly saw the two races opposing Rafael's image, making her certain of Feng Yi's identity.

After years of waiting for a man seemingly dead yet continually hiding, refusing to show himself, Jiu Ling's purpose here was to ask why he was fleeing, why he deceived her?

She knew better than anyone how foolish her actions were, foolishly childish, laughably ridiculous, traveling numerous miles just to ask those few questions. Yet in love, unless experienced, one never understands that urgent need to seek answers.

But... until Jiu Ling finished speaking, Kexiao finally slowly spoke, his words hitting Jiu Ling like a bolt from the blue.

"Feng Yi never deceived you."
