Chief Mei... Mei Yanqing, dressed in military uniform, walked out of the crowd with an indifferent expression. His gentle smile, which was like a spring breeze, was replaced by cold indifference, and his resolute eyes revealed ruthlessness and heartlessness.

He raised his hand, signaling to stop the attack.

The Bai family's superpowered members seized the opportunity to gather around Bai Hongwei, cautiously observing their surroundings and searching for a way to escape.

"Nephew, where has Bai Liguo gone?"

Mei Yanqing's voice came through clearly.

Bai Hongwei's eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace: "Why? Why did you do this?"

Mei Yanqing gave a cold laugh, seemingly mocking Bai Hongwei's question as too naive, but still patiently replied:

"Power and desire are enough to drive people to do anything crazy. The Bai family has controlled China for too long, and I'm fed up with being subservient to others. The entire base was built by my Mei family, so why should I be subject to the control of your Bai family?"

The Bai family has to consider the entire country, so their power is too scattered. On the other hand, almost all of the Mei family's people and resources are in the base. The natural disaster is both a disaster and an opportunity to reshuffle the deck.

The only problem is that the Bai family forgot the principle that two tigers cannot share one mountain, and actually took it for granted that the Mei family would listen to the Bai family's command given the right timing, location, and people.

That's a ridiculous idea!

Bai Hongwei felt a deep sense of sorrow. The Mei family and the Bai family had been on good terms for generations. Uncle Mei and his father were old friends. He had never shown any resentment in front of his father, which made them lower their guard against the Mei family.

"Alright, I've answered your question. Now it's your turn. Where did Bai Liguo go?"

Mentioning his father, Bai Hongwei's hatred for this seemingly upright but secretly treacherous man intensified, and he roared angrily:

"You still have the nerve to ask me about my father? Wasn't he blown up by you? You want that throne? Here you go. My father and you were friends for decades. When you killed him, did you hold back even a little?"

A fleeting unease crossed Mei Yanqing's face, but it was quickly replaced by an uncontrollable greed:

"He's not dead. That man isn't your father. Your father is far more cunning than you. Given his status and position, he wouldn't have only had so many men with him. Perhaps..."

Mei Yanqing looked annoyed:

"Perhaps I gave myself away somewhere, and he noticed something was wrong, so he put on a show for me, a deception that allowed him to secretly cross the sea and stealthily enter the sunken compartment."

He thought his plan was meticulous and flawless, but he never expected that the old fox Bai Liguo would still escape.

If it weren't for the lack of significant resistance encountered when they went to capture Bai Liguo's people, they probably would have been fooled as well.

“Nephew, your father ran away without telling you that you are nothing special in his eyes. Why don’t you come and work for me from now on? Considering how many years you’ve called me uncle, I promise I won’t treat you unfairly.”

Bai Hongwei spat and cursed:

"Pah! Stop trying to sow discord here. If my father didn't trust you, bastard, he would have kept enough people around him. If he knew you were the most venomous snake in the world, he would never have let you grow so powerful!"

Bai Hongwei also felt that the resistance around his father was too weak. After listening to Mei Yanqing's words, he became unusually clear-headed and relaxed.

It's good that Father escaped; if he escapes, there is hope.

As for himself... well, he's not important!

A near-maniacal light flashed in Bai Hongwei's eyes. Come on, come on, destroy to your heart's content!

He glanced to the side. The captain of the guard had been with him for many years and knew what he was going to do with just a look. Two FGM-148 missiles were secretly aimed at the warship where Mei Yanqing was.

Ever since he saw Pei Nansheng and his brother using the FGM-148, Bai Hongwei has been fascinated by it and secretly hid the unused parts.

With the enemy outnumbered, escape was out of the question, and he didn't want to be used as a target.

Since death is inevitable either way, it's better to choose a more heroic way.

Bai Hongwei gently licked his dry lips, his smile growing even more maniacal.

He made a strange hand gesture behind his back, heard a slight start-up sound from the control unit, followed by a beep, and the target was firmly locked on!

Just then, two people were roughly pushed out, and Mei Yan said in a haughty voice:

“Nephew, don’t rush to make a decision. Why don’t you take a look at these two first?”

Having led troops for many years, how could he have been completely unprepared?

Bai Hongwei marked them, and they marked Bai Hongwei in return. In such a close-range missile exchange, no one would survive.

Lin Wang, Li Mingli!

The two were wearing pajamas, barefoot, and the sea breeze was cold, their snot was freezing, and they looked as disheveled as could be.

Li Mingli's eyesight is much better than before; he can vaguely see people's figures.

One of them had a bloody nose, and the other had a bruised and swollen cheek, both of them still cursing in a very irritating way.

Lin Wang shouted in Bai Hongwei's direction, "Old Bai, don't worry about us, beat them up."

Li Mingli couldn't see the person clearly, but he was even more stunned than Lin Wang: "Old Bai, fire at us, fire at us, don't make me look down on you..."

The word... sounded familiar, and Bai Hongwei felt both amused and saddened.

The soldiers guarding them each slapped them twice; the two struggled violently, shouting at the top of their lungs:

"Fire! Fire! Bomb them to death! Bomb those bastards to death!"

The madness in Bai Hongwei's eyes gradually faded. He was doomed in Mei Yanqing's hands, but Lin Wang and Li Mingli had a high chance of surviving.

Mei Yanqing wouldn't be foolish enough to wage war against three families at the same time. He would use Lin Wang and Li Mingli to negotiate with the Lin and Li families; he wouldn't kill them.
