2741 Taking Advantage



Han Zheng was probably the only one who understood the deeper meaning behind Xia Jinyuan punishing Azure Bird. That was why he couldn't help but speak up for his good friend. "Now, Azure Bird is just our comrade. She's Q King's subordinate. There's no other relationship.

"If Q King decides whether or not to punish someone based on the closeness and distance of their relationship, this will make Q King lose his prestige and trust. He will also lose his position in the hearts of his team members.

"Q King didn't do anything wrong. Since Azure Bird is in the wrong, she has to be punished. All of us feel sorry for Azure Bird, but we don't think that Q King's decision is wrong.

"And Demon King, you saw Azure Bird being punished, but it's actually…"

Xia Jinyuan, who had not spoken, stopped Han Zheng from continuing. He looked straight at Demon King Li and said in a low voice, "Demon King, mistakes are mistakes. There's no escape."

He stopped Han Zheng and didn't explain further.

He looked at Demon King intently. His handsome face was cold, and he didn't stay any longer. Instead, he walked down step by step.

He didn't want to explain and couldn't.

It didn't matter if Demon King Li understood or not. He was Little Fox's boyfriend and also Azure Bird's captain. If she did something wrong, Demon King Li had no right to object to his decisions as the captain.

Also, Demon King Li, who was also a captain, said that he respected his decision but couldn't accept it.

It was good that he couldn't accept it. He was Little Fox's cousin. How could he accept it when he saw his cousin being punished when her health wasn't good?

He couldn't accept it emotionally. He forgave Demon King Li for not being able to understand it because he… couldn't accept it too!

One of them went up while the other went down. Both of them wanted to end Ye Jian's punishment as soon as possible.

"You're the captain. I respect your decision, but that doesn't stop me from having an opinion of you! It doesn't matter if you say that I'm emotional. Q King, I'm telling you personally that I already have an opinion of you."

It was not until he heard this sentence that Xia Jinyuan's cold and handsome face changed a little. He looked at his future cousin-in-law for a few seconds and pursed his dry lips. He sighed and said, "Demon King, Azure Bird's future path is not just that of an ordinary special forces soldier. Please calm down and think about my intentions.

"Demon King, do you think my heart doesn't ache for punishing Azure Bird with my identity? It hurts like I'm being pricked by a needle!"

The last sentence was almost a low growl.

Ye Jian, who was facing the cliff, had already seen the two of them confronting each other on the cliff. She was a little anxious when she saw the two figures stopping for two minutes. She was afraid that the two of them would quarrel.

Two minutes later, Xia Jinyuan took the lead and went down. Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief.

Her cousin was in a bad mood, so she could only ask Captain Xia to give in.

The noon sun was so hot that the surrounding plants seemed to have lost their vitality. The trees and grass were dispirited from the sun. They drooped weakly. The cicadas in the mountain were still chirping tirelessly as if they wanted to use up all their strength.

The sky was clear and green. In the distance, the mountains were filled with green trees. Ye Jian, who was motionless, diverted her attention and used her peripheral vision to look at the beautiful scenery in the distance.

'Persevere! Persevere for a while more! It'll be over soon! It'll be over soon!'

In her heart, Ye Jian kept telling herself that she just needed to persevere for a while longer.
