Zhao Yang’s tone was detached, yet even through the receiver, He Yingquan could sense his unquestionable protectiveness over Sutan.
Zhao Yang was only a few years younger than him; had it not been for his partner's incident back then, Zhao Yang would certainly hold a higher rank in the military by now. He Yingquan understood Zhao Yang’s character well enough to know that for him to protect someone so fiercely, that person must be incredibly important to him. He suspected that Zhao Yang had developed feelings for Sutan, even if Sutan was not yet aware of it. Zhao Yang was possessive; once he determined something belonged to him, he would not allow any other man to covet it. A man as outstanding as Hechengming stood no chance at all.
Knowing that Hechengming’s accident had nothing to do with Sutan, He Yingquan felt a sense of relief, while simultaneously marveling at how a girl as young as Sutan could be so manipulative. It was one thing for so many men in the Beichuan military district to be fond of her, but to arrive in Jingbei and captivate a formidable figure like Zhao Yang? Thinking of his sister’s rash nature, He Yingquan frowned. When He Yingzhen returned, he would have to give her a serious talk and tell her to learn a thing or two from Sutan.
