Chapter 767: Life-saving Bullet

However, Li Jie quickly stopped him and asked, "I just asked you if you were interested in joining the military, think about it. Don’t be afraid to speak up just because Leng Xuan is here."

Leng Xuan crossed his arms and said, "Rest assured, I will absolutely not influence his decision. Old Cheng, tell him the truth, and don’t worry about me." He said this because he was confident that Cheng Guodong and his group would definitely not leave.

"Thank you, but I have no interest in joining the army," Cheng Guodong flatly refused. Being a super soldier was already a thing of the past for him. Moreover, the reason he stayed and was willing to be a bodyguard, besides the initial orders, was a strong desire for power. Once a person had power, they couldn’t help but pursue even greater strength. In the army, although they were super soldiers, the army’s rules also limited the development of their strength. Since coming here, every once in a while, Leng Xuan would teach them how to enhance their strength, how to fight. After days of training, they realized the effects were evident, every one of them had significantly improved. This was the main reason they were content with being bodyguards.

Li Jie was somewhat disappointed, but he didn’t insist. Sighing, he went into the villa and sat down on the sofa. Leng Xuan still sat opposite him. Li Mengjie and Ling Xuejiu looked nervously at Li Jie, not knowing what he would do next.

Li Jie glanced at Leng Xuan, then shifted his gaze to the handgun and bullets on the table. Li Mengjie spoke up, "Big Brother Li, aren’t you planning to let Leng Xuan off?"

Li Jie did not answer, and after pondering for a while, he finally said to Leng Xuan, "I find you quite agreeable, to my taste. However, I have decided to carry out father’s orders." With that, he reached for the handgun and bullets on the table.

Li Mengjie immediately became anxious, "Big Brother, if you dare do anything rash, watch out, I might ignore you from now on."

Ling Xuejiu also advised, "Big Brother Li, let’s talk this out, please don’t use the gun."

However, Li Jie seemingly ignored their words. He looked at Leng Xuan and said, "Father instructed me to make sure I give this bullet to you, no matter what... so you must accept it." He said this, but he did not load the bullet. Instead, he handed it to Leng Xuan with both hands.

Leng Xuan was taken aback, and from the smile on Li Jie’s face, he seemed to have a bit of enlightenment. This guy probably never intended to deal with him from the start; he was likely testing him. Leng Xuan took the bullet with some confusion, unsure of its meaning.

Li Jie seemed to understand his thoughts and explained with a smile, "Take a close look at that bullet. My father asked me to pass on a message to you. He said he has never forgotten the debt of a single bullet from back then and asked me to thank you properly."

Leng Xuan hurriedly held the bullet up to his eyes for a closer inspection. It didn’t take long for him to notice two tiny characters etched on the shell, which read ’Donglong.’ He muttered these two words, his thoughts flying back to that war-torn place.

Donglong is a country, situated right next to the border of the Country of Huaxia, with a very small land area. For expansion, they encroached upon a lot of Huaxia’s land, and although the government strongly protested, it was ineffective. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries was very poor, with frequent conflicts. Once, Donglong proposed a meeting to ease the relations between the two sides, inviting official government representatives for peace talks.
