Qin Zhen stood in front of Ma Yongchun. Inside Ma Yongchun's large tent was a smokeless wood-fired oven and a pile of firewood.
These resources are available in almost every tent, both inside and outside Xiangcheng.
It was snowing heavily outside. Except for Xiangcheng and Bcheng, all the cities were buried, with the snow reaching waist-deep.
And this snow only lasted for a short period of ten days or so.
Her face was like ice, filled with detachment and unfamiliarity as she looked at Ma Yongchun.
“City C cannot survive this disaster. Now, while we can clear the roads, we must clear them this morning and arrange for the survivors of City C to go to Xiangcheng or City B. This is our only way out.”
Before he could finish speaking, Ma Yongchun slapped Qin Zhen across the face, turning his face to the side.
He said angrily,
"I am the commander-in-chief of City C. Qin Zhen, don't you understand your own identity and position? Did you ask for my opinion before doing these things?"
Faced with natural disasters, Ma Yongchun devoted himself wholeheartedly to the task. He did not treat the garrison like cattle or horses, and he never gave up on the lives of any survivor.
He has always been trying his best to be a good manager and commander.
But why? His beloved younger brother, whom he cherished to the core, was digging into the reserve funds account of City C, and his wife was secretly planning to give the resources of City C to Gong Yi and Hua Mi.
What exactly did he do wrong?
He wanted to be a good commander, a good brother, and a good husband. What did he do to wrong these people?
Qin Zhen's face was swollen from being slapped. Ma Zhixuan, standing behind Ma Yongchun, understood what had happened. He stepped forward.
"Sister-in-law, what you did went too far. Don't you know how despicable that Hua Mi is? How could you use C City's resources to feed Xiang City?"
Qin Zhen turned her face away, ignoring Ma Yongchun's shocked and angry gaze, and looked at Ma Zhixuan with eyes as sharp as knives.
"I'd rather give all the resources to Hua Mi than give them to you!"
“You still dare to say that?” Ma Yongchun raised his hand again.
Qin Zhen, however, took a step forward.
“Hit him, Ma Yongchun, go ahead and hit him. You can’t change this fact.”
"Zhou Cheng won't listen to you anymore. He and Gong Yi are inseparable. Do you think he'll still listen to you after your brother did something like this?"
"Moreover, can't you see that City C has been struggling to maintain itself until now, and it's already at its last gasp. From now on, even if you have extraordinary abilities, you won't be able to withstand the endless stream of accidents."
As he spoke, Qin Zhen looked at Ma Yongchun with a deep sense of sarcasm in his eyes.
“Besides, you have such a troublesome younger brother. I can’t see the future of City C. I have to be responsible for the millions of survivors.”
Ma Yongchun pointed at Qin Zhen, so angry he was about to vomit blood.
"So, for this possible future, you destroyed the entire City C?"
“If Zhixuan makes another mistake, I will scold him, reprimand him, and educate him again. This is always our family’s private matter. Now, for your own selfish reasons, you are launching a crazy revenge against me and Zhixuan?”
He looked at Qin Zhen as if he were meeting this woman for the first time. Where was her sense of the bigger picture? Where was her grace and gentleness?
Qin Zhen now is just a crazy woman who only wants to take revenge!
Qin Zhen laughed, half of her face red and swollen, and she laughed with her head held high.
“Ma Yongchun, I only realized today how vast the difference is between our perspectives.”
He angrily accused her of being selfish and seeking revenge against Ma Zhixuan.
But he never looked at the problem from another perspective.
Qin Zhen was never the kind of person who was petty or narrow-minded.
Faced with Qin Zhen's open and cheerful demeanor, Ma Yongchun turned pale and took two steps back.
Behind him, Ma Zhixuan was still speaking.
"Brother, sister-in-law has sold out our entire city this time. Her mistake is far greater than mine."
Ma Yongchun turned around and gave Ma Zhixuan a fierce look, which successfully made Ma Zhixuan lower his head.
How dare he talk about Qin Zhen?! This time, Ma Zhixuan is the culprit who forced Qin Zhen to defect directly.
After Ma Zhixuan timidly lowered his head, Ma Yongchun rubbed his face and said weakly to Qin Zhen,
"Fine, you've vented your anger. You don't have to help get those supplies back, and you've already given the fabric from City C to Hua Mi. So tell me, are you ready to stop now?"
Indeed, Qin Zhen was right about one thing: Ma Zhixuan offended Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Cheng had a very close relationship with Gong Yi.
Now that Ma Yongchun has lost the support of the armed forces in City C, he needs Zhou Cheng to listen to him if he wants to turn the tide.
Qin Zhen ignored Ma Yongchun and simply produced a divorce agreement and a statement.
"The marriage registration system in Xiangcheng is still in use. We are getting a divorce, and this statement will be published online at the same time. Everyone who can still access the internet can see it. Our relationship has come to an end."
She handed the two documents to Ma Yongchun.
But Ma Yongchun just looked incredulous and didn't take Qin Zhen's documents.
Ma Zhixuan was about to speak again, but he inexplicably felt that the atmosphere in the tent now seemed to prevent him from saying anything more.
If he were to speak, he would surely be met with a barrage of angry curses from his brother and Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen placed the two documents on the table and said coldly,
“Ma Yongchun, you have no choice. We’ve been husband and wife, and you know my personality.”
Extreme composure, and unwavering determination once a decision is made, were the shining qualities that made Ma Yongchun fall in love with Qin Zhen.
However, this shining point has now become an irreversible disaster for their marriage.
Ma Yongchun looked at Qin Zhen with heartbreak. Snowflakes were falling outside the tent, and even the warmest tent could not warm Ma Yongchun's cold hands and feet.
Seeing Qin Zhen turn to leave, Ma Yongchun suddenly shouted:
"You suddenly want to part ways with me. Have you thought about our child?"
Oh, he can still remember the child.
Qin Zhen turned around, white breath visible at the corner of her lips.
"It's been over half a month, and this is the first time you've asked about the child. Do you even know what he's been through?"
“Ma Yongchun, you have never been worthy of anyone in your life.”
After saying this, Qin Zhen left the tent. As soon as she stepped outside, she told her secretary who was waiting there,
"I posted an announcement online that my relationship with Ma Yongchun has broken down and we are no longer one."
The secretary outside paused and asked:
"Madam, is it really necessary to do this?"
Qin Zhen walked forward, her back almost bent under the weight of sorrow, yet she remained strong, step by step trudging through the thick snow.
"If we don't do this, we won't be able to regain the trust of those wealthy people."
Those wealthy people began to doubt Ma Yongchun's original intentions.
The mess Ma Zhixuan made this time is far more than just wasting a little money.
However, if the wealthy people in City C learn that Qin Zhen and Ma Yongchun have divorced and that Qin Zhen has personally led City C to align itself with Hua Mi, they will continue to donate money to Qin Zhen.
After all, whoever controls resources controls the world.
The weather is perfect, good luck to all the moms helping their kids with their homework!
