Chen Yu ignored Lei Hu and remained unmoved despite Lei Hu's constant cursing. He saw no need to waste his breath on such a person or get angry with him.

"Sir, will Li Xiubai come? Did that kid run away because he was scared?" Lin Lele asked suspiciously, as she hadn't received any news of Li Xiubai leaving the Red Sky Alliance base.

"He will come," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Why? Why are you so sure? What if he really runs away? Wouldn't it be like we're doing something stupid to wait for him here?" Lin Lele pressed, her eyes filled with confusion and anxiety.

"Although Li Xiubai's thinking is somewhat twisted, his nature is not bad. If he just runs away, the wrath of my Tianyu Base is something that his Red Sky Alliance cannot withstand. Even for the sake of the lives of hundreds of thousands of Red Sky Alliance members, he will not run away. Besides, my Tianyu Base now rules the entire Blue Star. The world is vast, so where can he escape to?"

Hearing Chen Yu's explanation, Lin Lele was even more confused: "Sir, I understand and agree with the second point you made. What do you mean by the first point? What do you mean by saying that Li Xiubo's thinking is twisted but his nature isn't bad? Someone like him isn't bad?"

Chen Yu sighed softly, his gaze becoming profound: "We cannot judge a person's character based on just one aspect; we must consider multiple angles. Although Li Xiubo has many shortcomings, at least he did not abandon the people during the most difficult period of the natural disaster."

“But he’s acting like a dictator in the Red Sky Alliance, and he’s constantly instilling hatred towards our Tianyu Base in them,” Lin Lele retorted, her tone clearly showing her dissatisfaction.

"Hehe, this is just a means of control," Chen Yu laughed.

"What kind of good people can use such methods of governance?" Lin Lele curled her lip, clearly disagreeing with Chen Yu's statement.

"It's just the environment that made him like this. Li Xiubo came from a background in officialdom, and after spending so much time in that corrupt environment, he naturally picked up some bad habits," Chen Yu said slowly. "Once a person is infected with that kind of atmosphere, it's very difficult to change. That desire for power and obsession with control will erode his heart like poison. But even so, we cannot deny that he still has his own principles and bottom line in some aspects."

"Then why didn't I become like him?" Lin Lele retorted. "I am the commander of the 800,000-strong 'International Militia Corps for Cold Relief and Disaster Relief,' and I am the second-in-command of the Tianyu Base, which rules the entire Blue Star. I didn't become like him either!"

"Is that so? Then from now on, you should give up your position as commander-in-chief! You've been in this position for so long anyway, it's time to let someone younger and more energetic take over," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

"No way! Why should I step down? I won't! This position of commander-in-chief can only be mine!" Lin Lele's reaction was unusually intense, as if some sensitive nerve had been touched.

"So, can you still say you haven't been corrupted by power?" Chen Yu's words carried a hint of amusement.

Hearing Chen Yu say this, Lin Lele finally realized that she had been tricked by Chen Yu.

However, knowing that her position as commander-in-chief was still as secure as Mount Tai, Lin Lele breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she tilted her head and said, "But I'm not as perverted as Li Xiubai! I don't make my subordinates worship me, nor do I demand that they be grateful to me, and I certainly won't execute a subordinate for being disrespectful or offending me."

"I've already explained this to you. It's just a matter of circumstances, and the two are not comparable," Chen Yu said calmly, his gaze passing over Lin Lele, as if he were pondering a deeper issue.

"But..." Lin Lele wanted to ask more questions, but Chen Yu stopped her: "Alright, you'll understand later."

Seeing this, Lin Lele had no choice but to give up. Moreover, the problem seemed a bit too complicated, and she didn't want to dwell on it any longer.

So she changed the subject and asked, "Sir, what about you? Have you been corrupted by power?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's lips curled into a faint smile, his eyes becoming deep and complex: "Power is a double-edged sword for everyone. It can make or break a person. I am no exception."

"Phew~" Hearing Chen Yu say that, Lin Lele breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "I thought I was the only one who could be influenced by power. It turns out you're the same, sir. I'm relieved, hehe!"

Chen Yu did not refute Lin Lele's words. After all, he also admitted that he was indeed influenced by power, and the influence was not small. Otherwise, he would not have been trying to keep the power in his hands.

"Mr. Chen, Commander, the target has appeared."

At this moment, a communications soldier rushed over and interrupted their conversation. He was holding a small communicator, and the screen showed Li Xiubai's figure as he slowly walked out of the Red Sky Alliance base gate.

Chen Yu quickly took the communicator, glanced at it casually, then nodded and said to Lin Lele, "See, I was right, Li Xiubai will definitely come."

Lin Lele also came over and, seeing the scene on the screen, she couldn't help but sigh, "This Li Xiubo has no real ability, but he certainly has quite the entourage."

In the footage, Li Xiubai is wearing a black winter coat and sitting on a luxurious sled. He is surrounded by dozens of sled motorcycles, each carrying elite soldiers from the Red Sky Alliance. They are dressed in uniform combat gear, wearing goggles, and carrying advanced weapons, providing Li Xiubai with tight security for his trip.

In addition, a special convoy cleared the road ahead for him to ensure his smooth passage.

The sled team left deep tracks in the snow, like a giant dragon winding its way across the snowfield, a magnificent sight.

"Hmph, judging by his posture, the Red Sky Alliance is not weak either. Commander, I think we should stop our aid to them," Lin Lele sneered.

Chen Yu simply smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Li Xiubai's sled team sped toward Chen Yu and his men. Despite facing a "cold relief militia" force that was no less than a thousand times stronger than them, his men showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, they raised their heads high, as if to show the world their pride and indomitable spirit.

While Li Xiubo remained calm and composed on the surface, his heart was like a turbulent lake, unable to find peace.

He knew that this meeting was crucial to the future of the Red Sky Alliance, and even more so to his own fate.

However, as the leader of the Red Sky Alliance, he knew that he could not show these emotions, otherwise it would only make the situation more complicated.

He must remain calm and use his wisdom to deal with this meeting that could determine the fate of the Red Sky Alliance.
