So, when it came down to it, his strength just wasn't enough.
If he were powerful enough, he wouldn't have these worries. He could perfectly handle the fallout for anything Shen Lu wanted to do.
Seeing Fu Cheng grow more and more silent, Shen Lu didn't know how to comfort him.
"Do as I say," Fu Cheng said, his voice cold. "If they don't get the answers they want, they'll resort to inhumane interrogation methods."
'If that's the case, it would be better to just sacrifice me.'
'I'm a cripple anyway, so it doesn't matter if I get caught. Besides, Shen Lu was the one who saved my life. This way, I can finally repay her.'
"You..." Shen Lu was speechless. 'He really is a top student from the military academy. This level of self-sacrifice is just… too noble.'
'But how could he say something like that so casually?'
'I painstakingly pieced his life back together. I can't just push him out to take the fall for me. I can't do it.'
