Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1367

Edgar sat in silence while Daniel reached out and patted the soldier's shoulder to console him.

"S-sir, please tell me. D-did I really kill him?" Jeffrey looked up at the two men with puffy red eyes. "D-did I really kill someone? Please have mercy on me. I didn't mean to..."

Jeffrey began to cry again. His spirit was wavering. Edgar didn't lose his sharp composure. "As an Eagle soldier, you must remain strong and keep your spirits up."

"Captain Edgar," Jeffrey cut him off. "The one I killed is not an enemy or any petty criminal but a comrade! A comrade in arms! A brother in battle!"

Edgar could only sigh and said in a calm voice, "I will investigate into this matter and I will make sure that justice will served." Then he looked at Jeffrey with determination. "There is one thing I need you to do for me. You must live on and as long as you are alive, there will be always hope." Then he turned away.

Daniel also rose up and gave Jeffrey a reassuring smile. "Eagle will not give up on you. And please don't give up on yourself!" As he said that, he gave Jeffrey's shoulder a pat and left. When the door was closed, he heard wailing coming from the inside.

Meanwhile, Edgar asked the soldier on duty to keep Jeffrey temporarily locked up in the closed guard chamber. They shouldn't mention, interrogate, or even see him without his orders. Finally, he and Daniel went up to the car. It was almost dawn.

"You know where to find William, right?" Edgar asked Gordon.

"Yes, sir!" confirmed Gordon.

"Then drive us there," Edgar ordered.

After resting for a while, Edgar went to the airport with the Political Commissar Wang together. The sky was already turning bright. They planned to block Henry before he could even arrive home. Edgar looked at his watch and looked at the newspaper inside the airplane.

At this moment, no one knew it was an invisible trap, waiting for Edgar to fall in.

In S City, Cain admired at the morning mist during dawn. He sipped his coffee as he continued marveling the haze through the big landing window of a hotel.

"Ah, peace," he muttered to himself in relaxation.

Then his phone ran loudly and Cain tried his best to ignore it. Unfortunately, It kept on ringing and ringing.

Cain sighed blankly. He still kept on drinking his coffee, not ripping off his deep eyes upon the scenery. After ten minutes, he decided to answer his phone.

He saw who was the caller and immediately picked it up.

"Cain! Thank goodness you have finally answered!" The person on the other line was obviously anxious. Cain plopped down on his chair and let the other person talk. "Edgar had already arrived at the airport since he wanted to reach B City ahead of Henry."

Cain remained calm and licked his lips. "Oh I see," he said indifferently. He paused for a moment and then continued, "Try to delay William inside the camp."

"Understood!" the other side replied. "Sir, after that, what are we going to do next?"

A contemptuous smile graced Cain's handsome features. "You don't need to worry about that. Just do what you have to do. I'll pay you as soon as it succeeds." Then he hung up. Cain could only laugh out to himself.

He looked out at the window again. The dawn's light finally broke through the thick dark winter clouds. It looked like as if it was bringing a glimmer of hope into the city.

He took out his phone again and dialed a certain number. When he got in touch with the other side of the phone, he said coldly but with a smirk, "Be prepared at B City. We need to deliver our 'gift' to Edgar as soon as possible, you know."

"Yes, sir!" was the other end's reply.

Then Cain finally hung up the phone with a serene expression. He thought to himself with a smirk, 'So, Edgar, I hope you will enjoy the "gift" that I specially prepared for you.'

Cain stretched out and went to the changing room. He wore a brown sweater, cream-colored trousers, and brown leather shoes. He topped it off with a black suit, making him look vigorous.

Cain left the hotel room and hopped onto the elevator to descend. He quickly dialed Yale's phone and asked, "So how was the meeting I arranged for you last night?"
