Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng exchanged glances, and Fu Heng looked at Wu Jidi and said.

"That's how it is for now. We're only in a temporary partnership. As long as you don't do anything to harm us, everything is negotiable."

After hearing their words, Commander Wu smiled and said...

"Don't worry, you know my character. I only care about the safety of the people in the base and I won't do anything to betray you. Besides, Yunxi is also a citizen of Blue Star. Now that you've come to Blue Star, you're naturally citizens of Blue Star as well."

Fu Heng nodded solemnly.

They chatted for a while in Commander Wu's office before leaving.

When Zhou Yuan saw them off, he said to Ye Yunxi and the others.

"Yunxi, Xiaofu, don't overthink it. Even if the base leader and I know about this, we won't tell anyone. We know your character, and you should know our character as well."

This matter could be a big deal or a small deal. The base commander only cares about the lives of the people at the base, so neither the base commander nor I will covet your secrets. You can rest assured about that.

After listening to Zhou Yuan's words, Ye Yunxi turned to him and said something to him.

“Uncle Zhou, we understand what you’re saying. We’re not the kind of people who make trouble unreasonably. As long as you and the base chief don’t harm us, we will do our best to help the base chief.”

Zhou Yuan nodded solemnly. He knew in his heart that as long as he and the base leader did not do anything to harm Ye Yunxi and the others, they would not kill them.

Otherwise, judging from their expressions just now, if they didn't care about past ties, he and the base commander would have died at their hands long ago.

Fortunately, their base didn't try to take anything from them; after all, it wasn't theirs, and people should know their place.

"Okay, the base commander and I understand what you're thinking. Don't worry, we will never do anything to betray you."

Ye Yunxi nodded without saying anything.

Zhou Yuan escorted Ye Yunxi and the others downstairs, said goodbye to them, and then Fu Heng and the others drove home.

On the way back, Xuan Yu asked Fu Heng.

"Brother Heng, are we really going to cooperate with the base commander?"

“Yes, Yanluo came directly to the base and told the base commander about this. He probably wants to threaten the base commander to hand us over. Since he has taken the initiative, we should face him head-on.”

"Knowing our secret, once this matter is over, we'll have Minyu ask a friend to buy some potion so they can take it and forget about it."

Minyu quickly chimed in, "That's right, I have a friend who's an alchemist. She can make anything. Just like the boss said, we can have them take it once this is over."

Xuan Yu nodded in relief; his worries were finally over.

After they got home, they checked the time and it was almost noon.

Ye Yunxi took out lunch and ate with Fu Heng and the others. After finishing their meal, the group began to discuss how to deal with Yan Luo.

In the evening, Gu Qingqing called to tell Ye Yunxi that they had decided not to go and bother Ye Yunxi and the others, and that there was no need to rent a house there anymore.

If someone launches a night raid, they will definitely protect themselves and not let themselves get hurt.

Ye Yunxi listened to what Gu Qingqing said and didn't say anything more. Since they had already made up their minds, she wouldn't force them.

They were simply told that Yanluo had visited the base chief and that monsters would soon be released into the base, and that they should be on high alert, whether it was the people in the base or the monsters outside.

Ye Yunxi didn't say anything else, afraid they would worry.

After hanging up with Gu Qingqing, Ye Yunxi and the others decided to go to the base commander's office first and wait for Yan Luo to come over to see what tricks he was up to.

The next morning, Ye Yunxi and the others had a simple breakfast and went straight to the base commander's office.

They didn't know when Yanluo would arrive, so they decided to wait and see.

Lunch and dinner were eaten at the base commander's place, and the base commander enjoyed it, as no one had come to eat with him for a long time.

It wasn't until after 9 p.m. that Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng hid in the base chief's secret room, waiting for Yan Luo to arrive.

This secret room is known only to the base commander and Zhou Yuan; no one else knows about it. You can see outside through the one-way glass and hear sounds.

There are chairs and tables in the secret room, so you don't have to stand and wait the whole time.

Ye Yunxi and the others waited in the secret room for more than three hours, but Yan Luo still hadn't arrived. Min Yu was getting drowsy.

Base Chief Wu and Zhou Yuan were getting a little anxious, fearing that Yan Luo might not come.

They waited a while longer, and just when they thought Yanluo wouldn't come, they heard some noises coming from the windowsill.

Commander Wu looked nervously towards the windowsill, where a silver-haired man dressed in black was already standing.

The man jumped down from the windowsill, and Chief Wu looked at him warily.

Hearing the commotion in the secret room, Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng stood up and looked seriously outside in front of the one-way glass.

Yan Luo didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the base commander's table to sit down, looking down at him and asking questions.

"Have you thought through the conditions I told you?"

Without even thinking, Commander Wu replied.

"I will not agree to any of what you're saying. It's impossible for me to hand Yunxi and Xiao Fu over to you. Forget about it!"

When Yanlu heard what the base commander said, it was as if he had heard a ridiculous joke.

"Aren't you afraid that everyone in your base will be fed to the monsters?"

When Yanluo said this, his gaze was directed at the secret room behind the base commander. He was speaking to the base commander, but also to Fu Heng and the others inside the secret room.

Ye Yunxi's heart skipped a beat when she saw Yan Luo looking over.

She wondered if Yanluo knew they were in the secret room. But upon closer reflection, she realized that Yanluo couldn't possibly know about the secret room; she was probably overthinking it.

Just as the base commander was about to say something, Yanluo continued speaking while looking into the secret room.

"Fu Heng, come out. I know you're here. It's very impolite to hide and eavesdrop on other people's conversations."

The base commander and Zhou Yuan were startled and looked at Yan Luo in surprise.

Fu Heng, who was in the secret room, knew that Yan Luo was not so easily fooled, so he led Ye Yunxi and the others, who were still in shock, out of the secret room.

Fu Heng looked at Yan Luo coldly, while Yan Luo greeted them with a half-smile.

"Fuheng, it's been a long time. I've missed you terribly since we last parted."

Fu Heng said to him in a cold voice, "Yanluo, just surrender obediently. Don't make trouble for yourself. This way, you'll suffer less."

Yan Luo scoffed. "Asking for trouble? Looking for trouble? Making my suffering less? Heh, Fu Heng, Fu Heng, you really dare to say that. Aren't you afraid I'll slaughter everyone on this planet?"
