Dear Soldier, Put Your Gun Down

Soon, the FALCON Team sent over a video. Matt's face turned solemn when he saw the familiar figure on the screen.

Right after he got off the plane, he told Herman to send Winona back to the manor and then planted a kiss on her forehead, "Wait for me at home."

But she took his hand and crossed his fingers, "I'll go with you. I've told you that you wouldn't get rid of me in your lifetime. So, no matter what you are after, right or wrong, I'll be by your side." After speaking, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at him. He was moved, held her closer, and then kissed her.

The car stopped at Tucker's villa. As Matt appeared, the butler came forward and greeted him with joy, "General Snider, it's so good to see you. I'm informing Mr. Tucker right away."

"Don't bother! I'm not here looking for my mentor today."

He strode in, holding Winona's hand.

When Lilian saw Matt appearing in her villa, she was overjoyed, running over to throw herself in his arms. However, Matt pulled her arms with force, "Listen, here is something you have to explain."

The excitement and joy were quenched by his indifference. Lilian forced a smile, "So, you are not here to visit my family but come to denounce me. Tell me, did I do anything wrong to offend Winona? And why are you so furious to question me like this, regardless of our past?"

Winona disdained Lilian inwardly for her hypocrisy. What she said just now had made Winona a mischief-maker who intended to cause conflicts between them. What a vicious woman.

Matt shook off Lilian's hand, disgust filling his eyes, "You know what you have done! Our past? Ridiculous! You wouldn't have done any of it if you still cared about the old times!"

The disgust and even anger in his eyes broke her heart. She had loved him for so many years, yet he was here, scolding her for another woman.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Matt, you never talked to me like this before. You used to..."

Bam! Matt suddenly threw his phone in front of her, sneering, "Watch it yourself!"

Trembling, Lilian picked up the phone and clicked open the video. It was her making a call in the telephone booth. Her heart sunk all at once, but soon she calmed down, knelt, and started to weep, "Matt, I was forced. They... they..." She sobbed.

She cried pitifully, which could easily make any man feel sorry for her. Unfortunately, it was Matt who she was tricking this time.

Winona added calmly, "Miss Tucker, if anything, explain it now. After all, it's not just about personal grudge but more about the disclosure of state secrets."

Lilian ground her teeth. Obviously, Winona was telling her that it was useless if she tried to fool them. Publicly or privately, she would be sentenced no matter what. So the best way for her to get a better end was to confess.

She pondered for a moment and made a decision, then pulled out her phone to show him another video, "Matt, I was forced."

Matt narrowed his eyes when seeing the video. He saw many vulgar men surrounding her. She was in pain, but they insulted her, beat her, and even forced her to do all kinds of unwatchable postures. He just didn't know that the video was edited by her.

She sobbed, "After they kidnapped me, they raped me by turns. I was too afraid that the video would threaten my father's reputation if it leaked, so I... I had to follow their orders and do whatever they asked me to do."

She was almost out of her breath, groveling over to pull the hem of Matt's trousers, "Matt, please, I didn't mean to set up you and Winona. If my apology is not enough, then kill me instead."

Matt looked at her coldly, "Do you think I will believe you?"

Compared to him, Winona was shocked that Lilian was raped. However, that wasn't enough to mess her mind.

"I'm impressed, Miss Tucker, of how tolerable you are. See, the video was recorded two weeks ago, but you attended the banquet afterward and didn't forget to play dirty with me. Tsk, tsk. Wow, I'm surprised." Winona tore her hypocritical mask apart, but Lilian could only continue her play even if she gnashed her teeth, "Matt, please, you have to believe me."

Matt kicked her away, glaring at her up and down, "You've colluded with Logan that night, haven't you?"

Lilian shook her head with more tears, "That's not true, Matt!"

Matt snorted, "What a surprise that the girl who I've known for years turned out to be a viper!"

Lilian was heartbroken, "Matt."

"Don't call me that. It made me sick! I don't hit women, so I'm going to hand you over to the NSA and they will deal with you accordingly."

Lilian was stunned. If she was sent there, she would be doomed. Without a better choice, she pretended to faint in fear.

Winona crouched down before her, whispering in her ear shadily, "Miss Tucker, a piece of advice, you'd better give up such a stupid trick. See, you are not like Sharon. She dares to eat poop, do you?" Lilian's body froze for a moment, then she opened her eyes weakly as if she had just recovered, "Matt, to tell you the truth, I... After what they did to me, I seemed to have been infected with AIDS," she whined. Winona twitched her mouth. Lilian was so tricky to think of such an excuse. In Coscana, it was said in the law that those with AIDS should be isolated and put in quarantine. In that case, she wouldn't have to go to jail. Winona had to admit that the woman got her tricks.

Matt was inexorable, "Enough! Save it for the NSA!"

He was still a little worried, pulling Winona in his arms and keeping their distance with Lilian as if she were the plague.

It cut to Lilian's heart when she saw this.

"Take her away!"

"Hold on!"

Frederick slowly came down from upstairs. He had seen and heard everything happened just now.

He walked up to Lilian on his crutch and lifted it to lash her violently. He didn't save his strength but beat her hard. A few times later, her ribs broke. There was also blood on her face.

But Lilian knew she could only bear it since Frederick was doing this to protect her.

"Now, I have punished her. Are you satisfied, General Snider?"

Matt looked in his cold eyes, "Mr. Tucker, you taught me before that I should be loyal to my country and my faith. Regardless of my grudge with her, she has committed treason! That's a felony!" Moreover, he couldn't allow such a bomb to exist around Winona.

Frederick didn't expect him to be so persistent, so he sneered and looked at Winona, "Miss Winston, your mother was an old friend of mine. I believe I have something you are interested in." Winona was shocked. An old friend? Why didn't she know anything about it? Would he provide some information related to her mother's accidental death?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
