Chapter 175 The Warlord Commander-in-Chief's Delicate Cannon Fodder 23

"got engaged?"
Yun Wu blinked blankly and looked at Lu Zhuo. When she finally realized what was happening, her eyes revealed surprise.
"Well, I announced it the day I brought you back, and now everyone in North City knows the news."
Lu Zhuo had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't think there was anything surprising about this.
He lowered his eyes and stroked the ring on Yun Wu's hand that he had put on himself. There was a gentle smile in his cold eyes.
"How can you make a decision without asking my opinion?"
Yun Wu said anxiously that everyone in the North City knew about it, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark.
She wanted to take the ring off her finger and throw it away, but she didn't dare to do so when she touched the ring.
She was afraid that Lu Zhuo would bully her like he did a few days ago.
She hadn't left her bedroom in the past few days, not because the door was locked, but it had never been locked. But she couldn't run away.
The Commander's Mansion is full of Lu Zhuo's people, and the entire North City is controlled by Lu Zhuo. What's more, she just ran away from home... and now she can't even fly away.

After a while, Yun Wu sat at the dining table downstairs, and Lu Zhuo still sat in the main seat next to her.
The servants in the commander's mansion were not there. Yun Wu's stomach was rumbling as she looked at the delicious dishes on the table.
She could finally eat by herself. In the past few days, the servants would leave the meals at the door of her room and leave.
Lu Zhuo liked to feed her just like he did when he was younger, so when Lu Zhuo asked her where she wanted to eat, she resolutely chose to eat downstairs.
Yun Wu ate her food in small bites, thinking absentmindedly about recent events.
Her heart and mind were in a mess, but she chose to avoid problems most of the time...
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu Zhuo's low voice sounded, and Yun Wu came back to her senses. She lowered her eyes and continued to eat a bite of food.
"No, nothing..."
Yun Wu held the chopsticks and looked at Lu Zhuo hesitantly.
The sleeves of his hands were rolled up to the bends of his arms, revealing a wheat-colored forearm with strong and sturdy lines.
"Little uncle..."
Yun Wu spoke cautiously, and the man who was eating paused.
His eyes were as deep as a dormant beast, and Yun Wu realized with a trembling voice that she had called the wrong person.
"Lu Zhuo..."
Hearing her soft voice calling his name, Lu Zhuo felt a deafening sigh in his heart.
"Lu Zhuo...when can I go out?"
"You can do it anytime you want."
Lu Zhuo said seriously that he would not lock up his Awu as long as she did not run away so far away alone again.
But he thought about some of the people and things happening in North City recently, and to be honest, things were not peaceful.
"Be good, Awu...I will go out with you."
Yun Wu lowered her eyes and nodded. She had no idea what Lu Zhuo was thinking, but she felt that Lu Zhuo was looking at her too strictly.
"Commander, Miss."
At this moment, Adjutant Lin rushed in, first bowed respectfully to Yun Wu, and then quickly said to Lu Zhuo:
"Commander, it's General Liang..."
Adjutant Lin said hesitantly. Lu Zhuo frowned slightly and then quickly stood up from his seat.
"I have to go to the General Administration to deal with some things. I will be back soon..."
He whispered to Yun Wu, and under her confused gaze, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
Adjutant Lin was still present, and Lu Zhuo was still... Yun Wu was so ashamed and angry that she didn't even have the appetite to continue eating, but after watching Lu Zhuo leave in a hurry, she couldn't help but ask Adjutant Lin.
"What happened?"
"Isn't it General Liang? General Liang was the temporary commander when the commander left North City for a year. Now that the commander is back, the military power will naturally return to the commander. General Liang agreed on the surface, but he was actually not very willing..."
Adjutant Lin stood by and talked to Yun Wu with an indignant look on his face.
"Not only was he slow in handing over power, he also tried to take the commander's seat, but he didn't show it on the surface, but he was smiling but hiding a knife."
"Just now someone was sent to say that the commander's men were committing malicious crimes in North City. It's really a fuss, but the commander will definitely handle this matter properly."
Adjutant Lin gave a quick explanation and left in a hurry.
Yun Wu also roughly understood some of it. It seemed that Governor Liang was appointed to North City in the past two years, and she had never met him before.
But she saw it the next day.

The next morning, Governor Liang's car stopped at the gate of the commander's mansion.
Governor Liang entered the hall of the mansion with two people carrying gifts.
Lu Zhuo was sitting on the sofa wiping his gun when he saw the butler leading General Liang in. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Commander Lu, I came here uninvited today. I hope you will forgive me!"
Governor Liang was much older than Lu Zhuo. Although he was in his early forties, his wrinkles appeared all over his face from smiling, and his hair was almost falling out. If you looked closely, you could tell that his smile was not real.
"That's not what the Overseer said."
Lu Zhuo's voice was light. After wiping his gun, he pointed the muzzle at him casually as if unintentionally.
"If I hadn't forgiven you, the warlord would be dead now."
"Commander, you are joking..."
The smile on Governor Liang's face faded a little, but he snorted in his heart.
This young man wouldn't kill him like that. If he did, he'd have no chance of keeping his position as commander.
Humph, how can a young boy like him be the commander-in-chief? He even quarreled with him in the General Administration. Isn't it just because he has a face? And countless people in North City admire him.
Governor Liang wanted Lu Zhuo to lose everything he had. It was because he had to come back when he was doing well outside that he was forced to give up his power as commander-in-chief, and his status plummeted.
He wants Lu Zhuo to lose his position as commander-in-chief. He also has an engaged fiancée, and I heard that he cares a lot about that woman.
Governor Liang couldn't help but think of the two people he had found. He had originally wanted to check the background of Lu Zhuo's fiancée, and then he found someone related to her...
Maybe I can use this to destroy the relationship between Lu Zhuo and his fiancée, and make him lose the person he loves most first, haha.
He then went straight to the point and said:
"Commander Lu, to be honest, I came here first to apologize to you for yesterday's misjudgment, and second to see your fiancée, Miss Yun..."
"Find me?"
Yun Wu, who had just walked down the stairs, looked a little surprised. Lu Zhuo frowned calmly, and his cold eyes looked at Governor Liang vigilantly.
Governor Liang had a smile on his face, and then he said to Yun Wu who looked puzzled:
"I was out of town on business a few days ago and met a couple who were looking for their long-lost daughter, so I helped them check. What a coincidence, they turned out to be your parents, Miss Yun."
