"Yu Wei! Have you gone mad?"

The gun barrel, which was just two or three centimeters away from his face, was now pressed against his forehead, trembling slightly. Lin Gu was furious. He never expected that this stubborn guy would rather die than transfer his permissions.

"Why doesn't it count?"

Yu Wei smiled, took off the communicator and threw it on the ground, crushed it with his foot, bent down to pick up the chip, broke it in front of the others, stuffed the fragment into his mouth, swallowed it whole.

The chip is not only a signal receiver and transmitter, but also stores a lot of important information. Given enough time, Zhou Qi and his team could completely decipher the system and even control it through the chip.

"Oh dear, what are we going to do? Now you have nothing left." Yu Wei shrugged, grabbed Lin Gu's wrist, and smiled slightly. "Can you tell me where I went wrong?"

Lin Gu moved his lips but couldn't speak. Yu Wei lowered his hand and sighed softly, "We're brothers, can't you let me die knowing why?"

"He can't explain it, so let me tell you."

Zhou Qi stepped forward, stared at Yu Wei, and covered his mouth to laugh.

"You don't need to do it for me. I can explain these things clearly." Lin Gu put away his gun, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and took a puff. "Ask me if you have any questions."

"My first question is, where are the people who came with me?"

“Those aren’t from headquarters; they’re my private troops. You don’t need to worry about them.”

"I see."

Yu Wei nodded. No wonder the atmosphere had been strange all the way; the problem lay there.

How could Lin Gu's private army possibly obey his orders?

"My second question is, when did you begin betraying the alliance?"

"I have never betrayed the League."

Not only Yu Wei, but Zhou Qi and Qin Ye were also incredulous, exchanging glances.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Ye's eyes as he nodded to Zhou Qi.

"The alliance isn't just your Yu family's alliance; it's a world jointly created by the Zhou, Qin, Chu, and Lin families. Where does this talk of betrayal come from?"

The plot twist was too fast. Zhou Qi rubbed his ears and frowned slightly.

Lin Gu is too cunning; he's much harder to deal with than Yu Wei.

"The third question is, when did you start planning to leave headquarters?"

“This plan started three years ago, from the first day I arrived on the eighteenth planet. By the way, I let Lakaya and Mondor escape.” Lin Gu nonchalantly smoked his cigarette, his eyes full of contempt. “I originally planned to confront Yu Zhen directly when the time was right, but I didn’t expect you to still be alive. You’re really lucky.”

"Why?" Yu Wei's eyes held anger, confusion, and above all, sorrow. His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists. "We were friends, comrades-in-arms..."

"That's enough, you fucking idiot!" Lin Gu slammed his cigarette to the ground, stomped it out, and grabbed Yu Wei by the collar. "Everyone in this world can criticize me, but you can't!"

"You ask me why? Fine, I'll tell you why! Because I hate you."

"From the moment you are born, you are the center of the world. Everyone has to revolve around you, and your joys and sorrows are always the things that everyone cares about most."

“I trained harder than you, but the teachers only praised you; I was number one in every subject, but everyone was busy comforting you; I did more in every mission than you, but all the credit went to you; I contributed far more to headquarters than you, but in the end, you were the one who sat in that position! What did I get? A transfer order! It negated all my contributions and left me forever in that wretched place on Planet Twenty-Eight!”

"You can easily get so many things: family, friendship, love, money, honor, status, and you don't even have to do anything. People will kneel down and offer them to you! If you're sad, you can just walk away; if you're confused, a bunch of people will rush to comfort you. But what about me? My house is a mess, and I have to clean up your mess every single day!"

"Why should you be high above and admired, while I have to fall into the dust and turn to ashes? Why should you shine brightly while I have to become an accessory next to jewels?"

“Everyone says you’re their savior, their future, an invincible god.” Lin Gu released Yu Wei, spat in his face, took a few steps back, and chuckled, “But in my eyes, you’re just a fucking idiot!”

"you're right."

Yu Wei slowly raised his hand to wipe the phlegm off his face, then threw his head back and laughed. As he laughed, crystal tears slid down his cheeks.

His voice was very soft, as soft as a whisper in your ear, drifting away on the wind.

Lin Gu couldn't hear what he said, so Yu Wei beckoned Lin Gu over, leaned close to his ear, and murmured as if to himself, "So you hate me this much? Why didn't you say so sooner? I could have... given you all of these..."

Lin Gu's eyes widened. Before he could stop the gun that was quickly drawn from his waist, Yu Wei pushed him away, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out simultaneously from different directions, and bright red blood quickly soaked through clothes, dripping onto the concrete ground like vibrant flowers.

Yu Wei threw down his gun, clutched his wound, and slowly squatted down. A thousand words stuck in his throat, culminating in a single sentence: "Damn! It really fucking hurts..."

Lin Gu looked at Lin Gang in disbelief, then suddenly turned to look at Zhou Qi and Qin Ye, his eyes full of confusion.

“I still don’t quite trust you, so the gun I gave you is unloaded.” Qin Ye squatted down, kicked the gun on the ground to Lin Gu’s feet, took out a dagger and handed it to him. “I heard that people who carry the Lianmu grass gene have strong self-healing abilities, as you know. I’ve never liked seeing blood, so… I’ll trouble you to do it for me.”
