"I suggest you don’t go looking for him," Willie Ash brushed off the debris on his body, thoroughly emerged from the pile of weeds, then scanned his surroundings, "The Captain seems heartbroken and he’s not in a good mood."
Glenn Hutchinson is heartbroken?
Surprised for a moment, Flossie Wright finally reacted with her eyes involuntarily radiating curiosity.
Not that Flossie was a gossiper, but as they say, one man’s pain is another man’s pleasure. Plus, the "one man" in question was Glenn Hutchinson who she found quite annoying.
However, she didn’t entirely believe that Glenn Hutchinson was truly heartbroken.
"What’s going on?" Slightly frowning, Flossie asked following Willie’s comment.

"Eh," Willie, now sure that no one was around, released a sigh of relief, then started to look disinterestedly for another hiding spot while still remembering to answer Flossie’s question. He moved a little closer to her, lowering his voice to a hushed whisper, "Someone from the team went to his office this afternoon and heard him on a phone call, talking about women or something like that. They said he seemed really upset, so scary that they daren’t interrupt. After that, the Captain’s face darkened for the entire afternoon. You can only imagine his methods — he vented all his anger on us. I mean, if this isn’t heartbreak, what is?"
Rumor has it...
And speculation...
Flossie immediately reduced the probability from fifty percent to just ten percent.
As they say, rumors spread quickly. If Glenn Hutchinson did not personally confirm this, regardless of how "possible" it may be, it might also potentially be a big misunderstanding.
Having had personal experience with such things, Flossie naturally didn’t pay too much heed to this matter.
"You don’t believe it?" Willie seemed to see through her thoughts, and his eyebrows furrowed as he examined her, gradually turning his attention to her, "Our Captain is very popular among the ladies. Wherever he goes, women flock to him. The Captain is also a man, what’s stopping him from falling for a woman, going out with her, then breaking up because he doesn’t have time for her?"
Unexpectedly, Flossie’s eyes displayed slight movement, but she obediently nodded, "It is possible."
"Of course, it’s possible!" Upon seeing Flossie’s nod, Willie’s gossiping spirit went into overdrive, a slightly wicked grin appearing on his face.
"You know, I once heard from veteran soldiers that our head chef uncle directly asked the Captain whether he was gay since he had never ever had a girlfriend. Nobody knows how the Captain reacted at the time, but it soon became the hot topic of casual conversation. The rumor spread for quite a while until the Captain finally heard about it, and after giving everyone a severe punishment, it gradually faded."
Willie let out a sigh of relief, stating firmly, "Good thing now, with the Captain’s heartbreak, the rumor will eventually dispel itself!"
After hearing Willie’s lengthy explanation and seeing his firm belief in the rumors, Flossie silently took a few steps backwards.
At the same time —
"Bang Bang Bang -"
Gunshots resounded from behind Willie.
Glenn Hutchinson, who had quietly stood behind Willie the entire time, pulled the trigger without any hesitation after listening to Willie’s long-winded talk, ruthlessly showering Willie in a hailstorm of bullets.
