BXBX NOVEL Chapter 127 - 941 Killed Someone_3
After exchanging pleasantries, Han Rui asked somewhat anxiously:
“Wang Tao, that… have you found out who went to my office that day…”
“Well… I did find out, I’ve even approached the person…”
“Who is it?”
Hope appeared on Han Rui’s face.
No matter what, Sun Weiguang was her husband, and she really did not want Sun Weiguang to be cast out!
“But the person has asked me not to tell you who it is. They said that unless you tell me what exactly is going on… It’s difficult for me since both parties are acquaintances… Speaking of which, what exactly is going on with you? Is there something you can’t tell?”
A look of difficulty, mixed with curiosity, crossed Wang Tao’s face.
“What?” Hearing Wang Tao’s words, Han Rui was a bit stunned. Then she shook her head repeatedly, “I can’t say, I cannot say!”
If she said it, Sun Weiguang would be finished!
“Then I can’t help you. We’re all friends, I can’t betray someone else for you, can I?”
Wang Tao spoke with a hint of helplessness.
He admitted, he was somewhat enjoying teasing her. But hey, teasing people was pretty interesting.
The hesitation was apparent on Han Rui’s face as she hung her head, her gaze flickering. After a moment, she lifted her head again as if she had made a significant decision.
“Then I’ll tell you, I hope you—oh, forget it.”
Han Rui shook her head, then lowered it slightly, and said in a heavy tone: “Before I came to the base, I once saved a few survivors. During one operation, we were cornered by zombies upstairs. To escape the zombies’ attack, I… I pushed two survivors off the building! They successfully drew the zombies’ attention, and then we managed to escape… I’m sorry for them! Wuu wuu…
And all this was recorded on video by a hidden survivor…”

Wang Tao looked at Han Rui with some shock. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was the one who had taken the video, he might have believed her!
This Han Rui actually took the blame for abandoning her comrades upon herself!
Was her relationship with her husband really that good? So good that she’d be willing to die for him?
Wang Tao felt that Sun Weiguang’s attitude towards Han Rui wasn’t very good… As for Han Rui’s feelings towards Sun Weiguang, it was hard for him to tell. Could she be a pathetic admirer of her husband?
“I intended to keep it hidden, but… I suppose that person wants to negotiate with me. I reckon I can no longer stay in the base, I just want to meet that person and ask them to delete the video. As for me… considering the hard work I’ve put in for the base, if not merits then at least efforts, I hope you can let me off, and I will leave the base on my own…”
Han Rui’s tone was very downcast.
This was the best solution she could think of—she took the blame upon herself, then begged Wang Tao for mercy, asking the committee not to punish her. After that, she would leave the base and never come back…
After all, no matter what, Sun Weiguang was her lawful husband. Even if their relationship had soured, she didn’t want Sun Weiguang to die… As a wife, she would at least have done her duty to Sun Weiguang.
If Sun Weiguang were to leave, he would face certain death. But if she went out, she still had a good chance of surviving…
Of course, there was another problem, which was whether the person who recorded the video would make it public! Han Rui had no control over this, she could only take it one step at a time…
After his initial shock, Wang Tao spoke playfully:
“Han Rui, are you sure you betrayed two comrades? If this is true and someone has evidence, even if I speak up for you, you won’t be able to stay in the base.”
“I’m sure…”
Han Rui dared not look into Wang Tao’s eyes; she wasn’t someone who was good at lying, and she feared Wang Tao would see through her.
“It’s your business, and I don’t want to meddle too much… How about this, I’ll schedule a time for you, come to me tomorrow night. The two of you can meet and talk.”
“Yes! Thank you, thank you!”
Han Rui instantly expressed her gratitude to Wang Tao with a relieved face.
Watching Han Rui’s despondent departure, Wang Tao felt somewhat troubled.
It was a shame that someone so utterly devoted to Sun Weiguang couldn’t become part of his team.
But soon, Wang Tao shook his head.
“Forget it, I’ll confront her tomorrow night. As for what she does, that’s her business.”
The reason Wang Tao didn’t directly talk to Han Rui about this matter was that he didn’t want their relationship to turn sour. After all, Han Rui’s Ability was very impressive and could be a significant help to Wang Tao when hunting zombies in the future.
But since Han Rui was so frustrating, let it be. Could he, Wang Tao, really lack just one team member? It was just a Zombie Core with Perception Ability; he was sure to come across it eventually.
That evening.
Right after having dinner, Sun Weiguang came over again.
This made Wang Tao frown slightly; were this couple teaming up to bother him?
Wang Tao didn’t want to deal with Sun Weiguang; he was planning to discuss life with his sister-in-law.
However, Sun Weiguang sent a message through the Guard, saying he had something good to offer Wang Tao, even better than what he had mentioned in the morning!
Better than the news about the Bow and Arrows?
This piqued Wang Tao’s interest.
Well then, let’s meet and see; it won’t waste more than a few minutes.
Upon meeting Sun Weiguang again, he had still nothing in his hands. He spoke to Wang Tao with a bit of secrecy:
“Commissioner Wang, I have prepared the item for you! Come with me!”
“…Alright, I’m curious to see what you have. If it doesn’t satisfy me…”
“You will definitely be satisfied!”
Wang Tao followed Sun Weiguang out and then drove with him to an apartment complex.
After getting out of the car, Sun Weiguang led Wang Tao back to his home.
Wang Tao was somewhat puzzled, what good thing did Sun Weiguang have that he couldn’t bring out and had to keep at home?
Sun Weiguang opened the bedroom door.
“Commissioner Wang, this is the gift I have prepared for you!”
Seeing the scene inside, Wang Tao was dumbfounded.
On the large bed in the bedroom lay a woman in pajamas on her side. The woman’s eyes were closed, her face flushed, her forehead slightly sweaty, and her body twisted unnaturally as if she was uncomfortable…
This woman was none other than Sun Weiguang’s wife, Han Rui..
