Stunning beauty, the hero of Collapse is happy again

Chapter 275: Paranoid Warlord and Vengeful Undercover (34)

The news that Pei Jingmo captured Zhang Mao alive and took over Liaocheng had already spread throughout Jincheng. The common people, who had always admired him, praised him even more like a god. They only remembered the young Marshal Pei who protected the safety of Jincheng. How could they remember the great Marshal Pei above?

After Pei Shichang heard the news that Pei Jingmo had taken over Liaocheng, he sat in the study for the entire afternoon. He felt mixed emotions, including pity, anger, and fear, but not pride or happiness.

Pei Jingmo has grown to where he is today, and Pei Shichang is left with only deep fear, fearing that if Pei Jingmo gets to know what happened back then, his position would be truly over.

Also, he sent Sizhe to the front line for training. Now the war is over, and there is no news about Pei Sizhe. Pei Shichang is more or less worried and regrets the order he gave before.

He was waiting for news in the study, feeling restless.

The adjutant beside him rushed in, with an ugly expression on his face and a hint of disbelief in his voice, and said in a hurry:

"Marshal, the Second Young Master was captured by Zhang Mao's minions in the border area and has already..."

Pei Shichang stood up suddenly, staring at him intently, "What happened?"

The adjutant did not dare to delay, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "He has been...shot dead..."

Pei Shichang's pupils suddenly shrank and he staggered back several steps until he stood firm by holding on to the table behind him. His lips trembled for a long time and he was unable to speak.

"Zhang Mao!!! I'll make you pay with your life!!!"

Pei Shichang's roar echoed in the study. After a while, he fainted from anger at the news, and the entire Marshal's Mansion was alarmed.

Meanwhile, in Bailou, Ruan Guannan was also keeping an eye on Pei Sizhe's news. If Pei Sizhe was still alive, she planned to find a way to kill him before he entered the city, otherwise it would be difficult to kill him once he entered the Marshal's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, he received the news that Pei Sizhe was dead. Ruan Guannan sat in the chair in silence for a long time, his eyes lowered with cold sarcasm.

"It's such a quick death, it's really easy for this beast."

She felt a lump in her stomach, which made her chest ache.

She was immersed in her own gloomy thoughts until she heard her son's "baby" sound, and then she came back to her senses. When she came to the little guy's cradle, the coldness on Ruan Guannan's face faded, and he whispered to the little guy's ignorant face:

"My dear child, are you as unwilling as your mother?"

Ruan Guannan was in a bad mood. When she went to bed at night, she just held her son next to her and slept with him. She kissed the little guy's sleeping face, and then she fell into a deep sleep with him.

The moon was shining brightly in the sky and everything was quiet. Even the slightest sound of the door opening seemed a little abrupt in this quiet environment and instantly woke up the sleeping person.

Ruan Guannan tightened his arms around the swaddling baby without moving, waiting patiently for him to approach.

After sitting on the bed for a long time, she didn't hear any other movement from him. Ruan Guannan was about to open her eyes impatiently, but a gentle kiss fell on her forehead, and then his thin lips turned to her ear and whispered,

"I am back."

Ruan Guannan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he turned his head to look over. The tips of their noses were almost touching as they stared at each other quietly in the night.

She wanted to sit up, but Pei Jingmo stopped her with his hand, "It's cold outside, lie down."

Ruan Guannan did not insist on getting up. He turned sideways to face him, and his voice sounded a little gentler in the night.

"What happened? Why did you come back so late?"

Pei Jingmo curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile, but unfortunately Ruan Guannan didn't see it.

"It's all been taken care of, don't worry."

After saying that, he lowered his head and moved closer, carefully looking at her face, then lowered his voice and said:

"I'm sorry I didn't get back in time to be with you. Was it painful at the time?"

Ruan Guannan's eyes suddenly turned red. She didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he asked her this, she felt inexplicably aggrieved and remembered the torture of the day of delivery.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, she quickly blinked a few times to wipe away the tears.

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt much."

She didn't think of herself as someone who needed comfort. Maybe it was the atmosphere that made her heart soften a little.

In order to change the subject, Ruan Guannan moved his body slightly, revealing the swaddling clothes behind him, "He is fast asleep. You can only see him tomorrow."

Both of them tacitly did not turn on the lights. Pei Jingmo shifted his gaze to the small group of people next to her. Although there was no change in his expression, a corner of his heart had already collapsed.

He raised his hand and gently patted the swaddling clothes, saying softly, "See you tomorrow."

Ruan Guannan propped himself up and raised his body, looking at the sweetly sleeping little guy with him, with gentle love in his eyes.

No matter what they think of each other, they love and care for their children from the bottom of their hearts.

Pei Jingmo glanced at the person next to him, raised his hand and pulled the quilt up for her, "It's too late today, go to bed early, see you tomorrow."

Ruan Guannan had been holding his breath since he learned that he was in trouble. Now he finally relaxed, yawned sleepily, and whispered, "Okay."

The next morning, Ruan Guannan woke up and subconsciously reached to the side, but found nothing. Her sleepiness instantly disappeared.

He hurriedly put on a coat and walked towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, he looked head-on into the eyes of Pei Jingmo who was standing at the door.

Ruan Guannan felt relieved when he saw the swaddling baby in his arms.

"The kid was awake when I came in. I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I took him to the next room and let the nurse take care of him for a while."

Pei Jingmo explained, and with his arms stiff, he carefully placed the child in Ruan Guannan's arms, fearing that he would accidentally drop the child. He was more nervous than if he was holding a bomb.

Ruan Guannan took the child in a daze, and found it a little funny to see the child looking like he was facing a great enemy.

Only after they coaxed the little guy to sleep again did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

When eating, Pei Jingmo saw that she was not in a good mood, so he put down his chopsticks and looked at her for a few times. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll take you to a place after dinner."

"where to?"

"You'll know then."

Pei Jingmo kept her in suspense and looked at her meaningfully.

Ruan Guannan didn't think too much about it. After dinner, Pei Jingmo looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Go back and change into some neat clothes. It will be convenient for you when the time comes."

Now Ruan Guannan had even more doubts in his heart. After changing his clothes, he followed Pei Jingmo into the car and went straight to the place he said.

Pei Jingmo drove directly out of the city, and after making many turns, he finally arrived at the destination. There were even soldiers standing guard outside.

Ruan Guannan put away the confusion on her face and followed Pei Jingmo inside. Her heart sank until she realized where this place was.

Because this was a secret interrogation room, if she had not been exposed in front of Pei Jingmo, she would have thought that he was going to arrest her and interrogate her.

After walking through a long corridor, Pei Jingmo stopped at the door of a room. He opened the door and motioned her to go in, then followed her into the room.

Ruan Guannan's doubts turned into shock on his face when he saw the person tied to the rack.

"Peszhe?!"
