Chapter 596: Chapter 596 Don’t Come Again 17_1

"Unless your fists pack the power of bombs, don’t even think about it in this lifetime." At this moment, He Teng can’t help but laugh under his breath. Self-importance is not something he possesses, but when it comes to He Zhilan, He Teng is brimming with confidence.

"As confident as you sound, you’re a man who’s been in the military for over a decade. Do you find it fulfilling to win over me?" He Zhilan sticks out her tongue at He Teng.

The two of them converse as though they’re the only ones present. Meanwhile, Tang Tang in the back seat was struggling to remain seated.

"Captain He, I heard in the army that you and He Zhilan divorced. However, seeing how you interact, it doesn’t feel that way at all!" Tang Tang forces herself into the conversation between the two. As soon as she opens her mouth, she brings up the topic of divorce.

But Tang Tang’s abrupt mention indeed makes He Teng instantly sober up. When talking to He Zhilan, he almost forgets about their divorce, probably because, unlike other women, He Zhilan neither distanced herself from anything related to their marriage nor became a stranger to her ex-husband.

He Zhilan acts unusually close, which easily makes He Teng fall into the atmosphere she deliberately creates. Having recently divorced, they didn’t have any big fights, so He Teng isn’t used to it. It is just like the initial adjustment to married life, needing time to slowly accept reality.

Tang Tang initially just wanted to grab He Teng’s attention and hoped that he would talk to her and look at her more, but didn’t expect that she succeeded in interrupting He Zhilan and He Teng’s conversation, yet also caused an awkward silence. Afterward, on the way to the train station, neither He Teng nor He Zhilan spoke again.

When the car stops at the train station, He Teng doesn’t ask Tang Tang if she’s bought a train ticket or at what time her train is. He simply tells her, "We’re at the train station. You go on ahead. I have something to discuss with Zhilan."

His words insinuate that he needs to talk to He Zhilan, and Tang Tang, being an outsider, should not be present.

With a pale face, Tang Tang reluctantly gets off the car. She turns around to see He Zhilan, smiling faintly like a victorious person. This makes her even angrier.

As soon as Tang Tang leaves, He Teng’s expression immediately turns serious. His speech also takes on a sombre tone.

"Zhilan, remember my words after you return home. Shooting skills may not seem practical to you. After all, even if you learn to shoot, you don’t possess a gun. But the techniques you learned today - you must remember them well and use them proficiently!" He Teng changes the topic, explaining why he insisted on He Zhilan joining the training.

"No one knows when or how the situation in the capital will change. We’re already divorced. I know I can’t stop you from interacting with Lin Chan’s circle. That’s why I want you to have basic self-defense abilities."

Struck by He Teng’s serious tone, He Zhilan replies much more earnestly, "Brother, don’t worry, I will practice diligently when I get back!"

"Hmm." He Teng nods, retrieves his hand from the steering wheel, and places it on his knee. He clearly has more to say and is not in a hurry to drive back.
