Chapter 698: Gone

He knew from the beginning what he would face upon returning—inevitable local punishment—but by now, Zhang Xu was willing to accept it.
Feeling that he had behaved well, he had completely fallen in love with that woman and secretly vowed to treat Lin Qi well once he got back, hoping that she might be moved by his actions. After all, no woman could resist such a devoted man, Zhang Xu thought to himself.
His willpower grew even stronger. Lin Qi was the one he was searching for, the one known as 007—such a beautiful name, just like he had imagined. Now, even if he faced punishment, he was willing, and his steps toward his home were particularly steady.
