After staying in Savage Mountain for a long time, everyone got on the bus with uneasy feelings.
"Where are we going now?" Su Jinyue asked. She was the one who did this, so she couldn't be as confused as everyone else.
"Let's go back to the General's Mansion," Li Yanfei decided. The mine on the mountain, just as Yalu had said, didn't have much good ore. It would be better to take a day off today and go to the market tomorrow.
He was quite experienced in gambling on stones. Yesterday, after looking at the ores that had been mined, he already had a rough idea of the quality of the ore in that mine. Instead of wasting time there, he might as well go back to the General's Mansion and chat with Yalu.
When they returned to the general's mansion, they found that the atmosphere there was a bit solemn.
"What happened?" Li Yanfei asked one of Yalu's men.
"The general was ambushed when he went to Savage Mountain. The doctor is trying to save him now," said the subordinate.
Li Yanfei was shocked and asked quickly, "What's going on?" He knew that Myanmar was in chaos. In addition to Yalu, there were more than a dozen powerful forces. However, as long as they did not infringe on the interests of other forces, these forces usually lived in peace.
"We arrived at Savage Mountain, and just as we were getting off the car, the general was ambushed. He was shot in the heart. The doctor said it was a lucky miss, two centimeters, or he wouldn't have made it back," the subordinate said. If the general hadn't reacted quickly and avoided a vital injury, the consequences would have been far more serious.
Li Yanfei frowned and thought for a moment, "It seems someone wants to use this opportunity to secretly reshuffle the cards and reorganize the existing forces." He felt that the person who attacked Yalu, besides Yalu's opponents, was more likely one of Yalu's subordinates. After all, Yalu's subordinates were more familiar with his schedule.
"We're in danger now," Su Jinyue frowned. After learning of Yalu's mishap, she immediately used her spiritual sense to scan the area surrounding the general's residence. She discovered someone lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. They were also one of the targets.
"Yeah." Li Yanfei nodded in agreement, somewhat surprised by Su Jinyue's analytical ability.
"What do you mean?" Xu Jinfeng and others looked at Su Jinyue and Li Yanfei in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.
"General Yalu was most likely framed by his own people." Li Yanfei said in Chinese.
"How is that possible?" Everyone couldn't believe it.
"In the face of power, people's hearts are most easily swayed," Li Yanfei scoffed. Born into a large family, he had been accustomed to both open and covert struggles since childhood. If his father hadn't decided to give up the struggle for power, perhaps his family would have been like his seventh uncle's, silently wiped out. If this happened to even his closest relatives, let alone others.
Su Jinyue thought for a moment and took out a stack of talismans, "This was given to me by a friend of mine. She said it can keep you safe. You can keep it with you." This is a third-level defense talisman that can block all dangers around it, including bullets.
"Is your friend a Taoist priest?" Li Yanfei took the talisman and examined it. He had originally been skeptical of such things, but now that even Savage Mountain could vanish in an instant, what else was impossible? And regardless of whether these talismans were useful or not, they didn't take up much space on his body.
"I'd rather believe it. It doesn't take up any space on me anyway, so I can just treat it as a psychological comfort." Su Jinyue smiled. If she hadn't practiced Taoism, she wouldn't have believed in such mysterious things.
Everyone also felt that what Su Jinyue said made some sense, so they took the talisman and put it on their bodies.
"I'll go see General Yalu." Su Jinyue walked towards the emergency room. Yalu's situation was not very good.
"Aren't you afraid of danger?" Li Yanfei asked in surprise.
"We're already in danger anyway." Su Jinyue smiled indifferently.
Li Yanfei smiled and nodded, then followed Su Jinyue. He and Su Jinyue had the same idea: they were Yalu's friends, and if anything happened to Yalu, they might not be able to leave safely.
In the emergency room, Yalu was lying on the bed with a pale face. His chest was already stained with blood. Two doctors stood by and had no intention of helping to treat him.
"Ya Lu, are you really unwilling to accept this?" Aji sneered as he stood by the bed, looking down at the painfully grimacing Ya Lu. He had finally waited until today.
"Why..." Yalu said with difficulty. He really couldn't understand why he would betray Aji when he was so good to him and treated him like his brother.
"Because you stole my most beloved woman. Duoya and I loved each other. If you hadn't fallen for her, I would have been with her long ago." Aji looked at Yalu with hatred. From the moment Yalu stole Duoya, he secretly vowed to take revenge, to kill Yalu and take everything he had. So he hid his identity and did everything he could to get close to Yalu. After years of enduring humiliation and making secret plans, he finally found his chance.
"Duoya..." Yalu's eyes flashed with surprise. In his impression, Duoya had always been a gentle woman. He had married her because he was moved by her kindness. Duoya had never told him that she had someone she loved.
"Didn't expect that? Let me tell you the truth, the fact that I have been able to become your right-hand man over the years is inseparable from Duoya. And your son is actually my child." Aji sneered.
"Puff!" Yalu's face changed and he spat out a mouthful of blood, "I never thought that I, Yalu, who was so wise all my life... would die in the hands of a villain like you... Hahaha..." He always thought that he had good vision in judging people, but now he realized that he overestimated himself.
"You'd better save your energy and wait for death." Aji looked at Yalu, his eyes full of coldness and pride. From today on, everything that belonged to Yalu would belong to him.
The door was pushed open at this time, and Su Jinyue and his group walked in from outside.
Aji was startled to see them enter. "How did you get in?" He had already set up tight defenses in the General's Mansion and issued orders to kill Su Jinyue and her group immediately if they entered. But now, not only were they not killed, but they had even come here. What was going on? Had his men betrayed him?
Su Jinyue walked to the bedside, took out a pill, and placed it in Yalu's mouth. After spending time with him yesterday, she felt that Yalu was a man of character. Otherwise, given his status, he would not have accompanied them to the mine in person.
Aji reacted and quickly took out his gun and pointed it at Su Jinyue, "What did you feed him?" He absolutely couldn't let Yalu have a chance to survive. If he lived, he would die. He had been with Yalu for so many years and knew his temperament very well.
