Kokang Old Town, North City, Bai Mansion.

At this moment, the Bai family home was brightly lit inside and out.

Bai Suocheng remained seated on the ironwood chair at the head of the main hall, his face somber and motionless.

He has been sitting in this position for almost three hours tonight.

Except for occasionally picking up the teacup on the wooden table to his right and taking a sip, he remained rooted to the spot like a wooden stake all night.

"Yingxiang, what's the situation in the city center? Are Peng Jiasheng's men still not letting us through?"

Seeing that her father had finally regained his enthusiasm for speaking, Bai Yingxiang quickly stepped forward and filled the teapot on the table halfway with hot water.

"Dad, according to the news sent back by Yingchang, Peng Jiasheng sent Wei Zhaoren's Second Regiment to block all the roads leading into the South City."

"Hmph, Wei Zhaoren? That old fox, does he really listen to Peng Jiasheng so much?"

Bai Suocheng snorted dismissively, then asked:

"Where is Peng Demin's First Regiment? And his two armored companies? Where are they located?"

"I don't know. According to the latest intelligence, Peng Demin's men left their suburban post an hour ago and disappeared."

Bai Yingxiang answered honestly that Bai Suocheng's adjutant had already compiled this intelligence for him as soon as possible.

But Bai Yingxiang knew that her father had a habit: when making important decisions, he liked others to repeat the information they had previously gathered.

“Peng Jiasheng and his son have ill intentions.”

"Yingxiang, can you help Dad analyze this? Could it be that Peng Demin has already led his troops to Nancheng?"

"After all, the first regiment can enter the South City in less than an hour by crossing the Mixiangou from their base."

Bai Suocheng seemed to be talking to himself, yet he also seemed to be genuinely seeking his eldest daughter's opinion.

Bai Yingxiang pondered for a moment, then frowned and said:

"Dad, I think it's very possible, after all, we've made it clear that we're going to attack Nancheng."

"It's normal that Peng Demin's First Regiment, as Peng's direct personal guard, appeared in Nancheng, making it difficult for us to attack Kunsheng."

"However, this means our plan to quickly take over the southern part of the city will fall through."

"Our two strongholds in the south have now been destroyed by the Kun Sheng people."

......

Bai Suocheng nodded but did not respond.

The father and daughter fell silent again.

At around 2 a.m., the old street is usually shrouded in a light mist.

These white mists seemed to be blowing from the nearby mountains and forests, or perhaps they resembled the unique scenery of the war-torn northern Myanmar.

Bai Suocheng finished drinking half a pot of strong tea, put down his teacup, and stood up.

He walked to the coat rack next to him and took down the dark green military overcoat:

"Since someone is trying to force me to take a stand, then let's just lay our cards on the table!"

"Yingxiang, prepare the carriage. We're going to the city. I want to see Wei Zhaoren in person."

......

9th floor of Kunshi Building, Bailu Road, Nancheng.

Lin Dong's words caused all the lights in the room to dim for a moment.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, or if it was because of the fighting tonight, but the office lights really did dim a little while ago.

"Lin Dong, I don't know where you got the guts. Are you crazy?"

Peng Jiasheng's voice was icy cold and carried a powerful pressure:

“I, Peng Jiasheng, joined the army at the age of 15 and formed the Kokang Self-Defense Army at the age of 31. I have experienced hundreds of battles, large and small.”

"I have fought for this land for more than 40 years, working hard and devoting myself to it."

"Tonight, someone actually said that I, Peng Jiasheng, am a historical sinner of Kokang? This is utterly absurd and laughable!"

Lin Dong's words were not only unacceptable to Peng Jiasheng, but also baffling to Kun Sheng for a moment:

Why is Boss Lin talking like that? What is he up to?

Don't you know that if you were to say something like "The King of Kokang is a historical sinner" on the street, you could be shot dead at any time?

"Commander-in-Chief Peng, it is precisely because I respect you as a man that I dare to say such things tonight."

Lin Dong's expression remained calm, because his words were not spoken on a whim, but were based on evidence:

"Whether you think I, Lin Dong, am crazy or rebellious, I still want to give Commander-in-Chief Peng a piece of advice."

"If there's a tumor in the body, can the problem be solved without surgery?"

"You, Commander-in-Chief Peng, not only refused to cooperate with the treatment tonight, but also prevented the doctors from performing surgery, causing Kokang's condition to worsen. What else can you be but a sinner?"

Lin Dong's words were clearly audible, word by word.

Peng Jiasheng, on the other end of the phone, had a drastic change in expression.

Who exactly is this Lin Dong?

How could he possibly be so aware of Kokang's deep-seated and incurable illness?

Peng Jiasheng had been in Kokang for decades, so how could he not be aware of the Bai family's ambitions and the severe crisis facing Kokang?

Sometimes, when you're caught up in something, you can't make up your mind or be ruthless.

"Who...are you?"

Peng Jiasheng's tone became somber this time:

"Lin Dong, what else do you know?"

Lin Dong sighed deeply and said:

"Commander-in-Chief Peng, I understand your predicament. After all, they are all brothers who fought alongside you to build this empire."

"But you must know that once a brother has a different mind, indulging him will only bury the seeds of trouble deeper and deeper."

"The final outcome will be to harm both oneself and others, handing Kokang over to a pack of wolves with ulterior motives and no humanity!"

Lin Dong's tone grew increasingly harsh. Now that Peng Jiasheng's cover-up had been torn off, there was no need for him to hide anything anymore.
