Chapter 456: What Does It Have to Do with My Wife?
Axe can’t stand it anymore. He turns Zhang Boxun around and punches him square in the face.
"Zhang Boxun! Not everyone’s as obsessed with Tang Siluo as you are! How can you ask a mother with a child to risk her life with you? You say she’s selfish—but you’re selfish too!"
Axe has known Zhang Boxun for years. They’ve followed Tang Jianjun into the army together. No one understands how deeply Zhang Boxun loves Tang Siluo—not even Tang Jianjun.
Just like no one understands why Tang Siluo loves Luo Feifan—not even Luo Feifan himself.
But love doesn’t always make sense. If everyone could explain how it begins, fewer people would lose themselves in it.
Zhang Boxun and Axe have narrowly escaped with their lives. And the first thing Zhang Boxun does? He searches everywhere for Zhan Lian, trying to drag him into a rescue mission.
He even points a gun at a four-month-old baby and threatens a mother.
If that’s not madness, what is?
Axe goes along with him earlier, helps him kidnap An Ran. Fine—at the time, they only want Zhan Lian. But now Zhang Boxun wants An Ran to go die for others too, when she has a child to care for.
Axe punches him. Zhang Boxun falls to the ground, injured, dazed, face slashed. He looks like he’s completely given up.
Inside the bridal shop, Zhan Lian sits at a table, bathed in the flickering firelight. He looks at Luo Feifan, then at Yun Tao, then points at Luo Feifan and asks, "Anything to say?"
Luo Feifan hesitates, thinks for a moment, and finally says, "Ah’Lian, don’t blame Zhang Boxun. I want to save Uncle Tang too."
Never mind anything else—Tang Jianjun has raised him. Throughout his military career, Tang Jianjun has supported him countless times. Luo Feifan owes him.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring.
If Tang Jianjun were strong, Luo Feifan could roam free under Zhan Lian’s command. But now, Tang Jianjun is in danger—Luo Feifan can’t stand by.
But desire alone isn’t enough. They need power.
Zhan Lian nods and looks to Yun Tao.
Yun Tao’s expression remains calm. When Zhan Lian looks his way, he gives his opinion. "Your wife can control plants. Before, she could only control ordinary ones. Now, she seems to control some mutant plants. But you’re really going to send her into a death trap?"
"What does it have to do with my wife?" Zhan Lian tilts his head and stares at Yun Tao. "She wants to go—I won’t let her."
Then he clears his throat, looks at both Luo Feifan and Yun Tao, and places a firm hand on their shoulders.
"Before we even talk about saving others, we need to save ourselves. Why are we in this mess? Because we’re weak."
He raises his hand confidently.
"Strength is the foundation of everything!"
It’s a valid point.
Luo Feifan and Yun Tao both nod.
And in the car, where she’s been eavesdropping with Doll in her arms, An Ran nods quietly too.
