Chapter 1100: Untie The Knot In His Heart
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The vicious currents that circulated around Gu Juexi subsided at Ye Xicheng’s soft and pure voice, but it did not extinguish his burning rage of fury.
Gu Juexi ordered the manager to send all the security guards to the police station and charge them with assault and offenses of violence towards a veteran.
Soldiers were always a knot in Gu Juexi’s heart. Ye Yuwei was fully aware of it.
It was only in their conversation later that Ye Yuwei discovered that Ma Zhong was the person against Gu Juexi in the army. He was also the man who had forced Gu Juexi to leave the army.
Ye Yuwei asked the staff to help Ma Mei clean their cart and give her all the money.
Gu Juexi sat with Ma Zhong in the gazebo talking. Ye Xicheng sat close to Gu Juexi and listened to their conversation. He made a decision in his heart.
He wanted to join the army and be a greater soldier than his father.
“Time flies.” Ma Zhong laughed at himself. “This is my retribution. I was jealous of your achievements, so I mocked and taunted you after your mission failed. If it wasn’t because of me, you wouldn’t have retired.”
Ye Yuwei knew that Gu Juexi was very concerned about this matter. The captain had mentioned this matter several times when he sought Gu Juexi out.
She always thought that the knot would remain forever tied in his heart since he didn’t even want to return to the army. It was an unexpected coincidence to meet the person involved today.
“What happened to you?” Gu Juexi looked at him and asked.
“Bomb, when I was pursuing Old Dog,” Ma Zhong said flatly, “Then, I was medically retired.”
Old Dog was a familiar name to Gu Juexi. The initial plan was to go after Old Dog after they tackled Cheng Jie, but the unexpected accident happened.
“What about the settlement fee? The financial relief program?” Gu Juexi was aware that the financial program for the retired veterans was quite lucrative.
“I’m unwell and my parents are old. With several hospital trips along these years, it isn’t enough to cover our medical bills,” Ma Zhong smiled bitterly, “That’s why I’m providing food delivery services to you rich people to make a living.”
Gu Juexi punched the table at his remarks.
“It’s a punishment for me. It’s also my fortune to meet Captain Gu today, I haven’t had a chance to apologize for the incidents,” Ma Zhong said earnestly.
“Do they not have any special treatment for you?” Gu Juexi asked in a somber tone.
“They do. They’ve switched to better policies in recent years and the veterans receive better severance too. However, there are many veterans like me who are more or less injured in some way by the time we retire. We are just a burden even if they make work arrangements for us—what else can we do with this disabled body?” Ma Zhong teased himself again. “Captain Gu, I’m sorry for what happened, I hope we can clear the air and reconcile. I also want to thank you for the incident earlier. I’ll see myself out.” Ma Zhong grabbed his crutches and hopped down the steps single-footed.
Gu Juexi remained seated and balled his fists.
Ye Yuwei and Ma Mei helped Ma Zhong get on the cart. Ma Mei thanked them over and over before they left the resort.
Ye Yuwei turned around to glance at Gu Juexi at the gazebo. She approached him and patted his shoulders gently. “The knot in your heart is finally untied, but you’re more upset, aren’t you?”
Gu Juexi reached over and put his hand over Ye Yuwei’s hand on his shoulder, his expression serious and gloom. He didn’t feel relaxed after receiving the apology from Ma Zhong.
It was mostly just a shallow grudge among comrades and their fight would never escalate to irreconcilable resentment.
What was unacceptable for him was the current situation of wounded veterans like Ma Zhong.
