Chapter 597: luring Huo Xiao to death
Since Commander Chen was willing to use someone else to recruit me and give me such a high official position, he must have high hopes for me.
As long as he performs well after this, he will be able to climb to a higher position sooner or later.
With his help, Commander Chen will be able to kill Han Guodong and replace him sooner or later. By then, he can consider a bigger plan.
"What do you think, brother? Do you want to come with me?" Xie Yi instigated.
Huo Xiao looked at Xie Yi suddenly. He was about to say something, but held back.
"Why do you suddenly have this idea?" He then asked, still worriedly.
"Cough——" Xie Yi tilted his head back and moved a little further away from Huo Xiao.
"Even after this, you still don't believe me." Then he said with a bit of depression.
A hint of anxiety flashed across Huo Xiao's face, but he didn't say anything to express his gratitude.
"Let me tell you the truth. Four days ago, Han Guodong sent me to City A - unfortunately, I didn't get the job done, and when I came back, I got scolded by Han Guodong." Xie Yi glanced at Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao's heart trembled, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I didn't tell Han Guodong about this." Xie Yi said with a smile.
Huo Xiao still looked at Xie Yi with a wary look on his face, "What did you find out?"
It's not that he hadn't thought that the Southern Army Base would contact City A sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
In fact, even if the Southern Army Base sent someone to contact Kuang Lan's people, he was not that afraid. As long as Han Yue was dead, there would be no evidence to prove the matter.
In addition, as time goes by, after Kuang Lan’s people lose contact with the Southern Army Base, they will definitely move closer to the Thunder Base, so Jiang Huai may not be able to easily gain the trust of the people in the Southern Army Base.
Xie Yi looked at Huo Xiao and smiled, "Jiang Huai told me the truth. He said that the young lady was in trouble and it was related to you." Xie Yi said while peeling peanuts.
Huo Xiao's heart sank, and a gloomy look flashed across his eyes again.
"Brother, don't look at me like that. I haven't told anyone about this, and I will keep it a secret for you." Xie Yi said hurriedly.
Huo Xiao's complexion looked better.
"Think about it carefully. No matter whether Jiang Huai's words are true or false, it will not be a good thing for you if Han Guodong hears them." Xie Yi continued.
Huo Xiao was silent.
"Instead of this, you might as well come with me to join Commander Chen." Xie Yi slapped Huo Xiao on the shoulder again, "I really think highly of you, too. If we work together, we will definitely succeed!" As he said this, he looked at Huo Xiao with burning eyes.
Huo Xiao looked towards him with gratitude.
She nodded at him in gratitude.
Huo Xiao hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
Xie Yi's words made sense. Han Yue's matter would always be a thorn in Han Guodong's heart. It was already difficult for him to get out of Han Guodong's situation. Now with this matter, he would have even less hope.
On the contrary, Commander Chen not only respects and thinks highly of him, but he also won't hold a grudge against him because of Han Yue's matter.
After understanding these, it was not so difficult for him to make a decision.
A look of joy appeared on his face.
"From today on, we are brothers!" Then he clinked glasses with Huo Xiao.
Then, he realized that Huo Xiao’s cup was empty.
Xie Yi quickly leaned over and opened another bottle of wine he had brought.
As he opened the door, he said, "Hey, this is the damn end of the world. These two bottles of wine have drained my bank account!"
Huo Xiao smiled and said, "I have some wine here, how about drinking mine?" Then he took out the wine from his space ring.
Xie Yi paused as he was about to pour the wine, but then continued to pour the wine he had just opened into Huo Xiao's glass.
"It's already been opened, drink this bottle first. You can continue with yours later!"
A strange look flashed in Huo Xiao's eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to stop Xie Yi from pouring him wine.
Seeing that Xie Yi looked normal, he didn't say anything.
"Come on, let's have a drink to celebrate our future cooperation!" Xie Yi raised his glass with a smile.
Huo Xiao glanced at his wine glass with deep eyes, hesitated for a second, and then picked up the glass as well.
Then the two of them clinked their glasses and drank.
When Xie Yi saw Huo Xiao drink the wine, the smile on his face became even more intense.
"Brother Xie--" Huo Xiao was just about to ask Xie Yi about Commander Chen, but he suddenly felt a stomachache.
At the same time, beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead and his head began to feel dizzy.
Realizing that something was wrong, Huo Xiao subconsciously wanted to stand up——
Who knew that as soon as he stood up, his body fell back heavily.
Looking at him now, Xie Yi's expression as he looked at him had turned unfriendly.
"You - poisoned me?!" Huo Xiao covered his stomach and looked at Xie Yi in pain.
Xie Yi raised the corner of his mouth, "Oh, you just know it now..." The smile was a little cruel.
"Why?" Huo Xiao looked at Xie Yi angrily.
Even if I go back and look at what he just said to me, I can't find any flaws. Why would he want to do such a cruel thing to me?
"Don't blame me, blame you, blame Miss Leng from the Thunder Base and Han Guodong. She wanted your life in exchange for Miss Han, and Han Guodong was naturally willing." Xie Yi said, pulling out a dagger from the inside of his boots and walking towards Huo Xiao.
There was a flash of resentment in Huo Xiao's eyes.
It's Leng Ning again! That bitch! She didn't even kill Han Yue!
Xie Yi pulled the dagger back and was about to throw it out when Huo Xiao suddenly stood up.
Then a weak lightning force was released, which instantly knocked Xie Yi, who was caught off guard, to the ground.
Then, Huo Xiao quickly ran towards the door.
Xie Yi's face changed and he quickly got up from the ground.
"Chase! The commander has ordered to kill Huo Xiao, regardless of life or death!" Then he shouted loudly to the soldiers outside.
Soldiers immediately set out to chase Huo Xiao.
Moreover, soon the entire Southern Army base received the order to kill Huo Xiao.
Two hours passed.
Xie Yi, who went to hunt down Huo Xiao, finally received accurate news that Huo Xiao had been killed.
However, due to the incoming wave of zombies, the soldiers were busy fighting the zombies and were unable to retrieve Huo Xiao's body.
When the zombie tide was repelled, the soldiers went to look for Huo Xiao, but he was nowhere to be found.
It was already dawn.
Xie Yi dragged his tired body to Han Guodong's office.
At this time, Han Guodong and the Chen family father and son were all there, and they were all waiting for news from Xie Yi.
"Waste!" Han Guodong was furious when he heard Xie Yi report that he had not found Huo Xiao's body.
He slapped Xie Yi in the face, causing him to spit out blood.
"Commander, please calm down." Xie Yi didn't dare to retort and could only bear it and ask Han Guodong to calm down.
"How can I calm down? What did you promise me? You said you would kill Huo Xiao! Now that he's escaped, whose life do you want me to take to exchange for someone at the Thunder Base? You?!" Han Guodong stood up trembling a little, and kicked again.
Xie Yi was kicked away and fell to the side.
"Old Han, things have come to this. We now have one less condition for negotiation. Should we reconsider the matter of rescuing Xiaoyao?" Commander Chen said.
