Wang Fengyu's smile turned dangerous. "Old Yang, that's not very fair of you. Without our help, you might not even have been able to get those blueprints. Now you're kicking us after we've served our purpose?"
"No, no," Yang Songming waved his hand, "I didn't say I wouldn't sell. I just wanted to raise the price a bit. You guys don't know how expensive things are until you're in charge. This underground ore is a scarce resource."
Everyone present knew that the crystal energy cannon was a valuable item, but the B City base refused to sell it, and the Qiyuan base was their only source of supply. Therefore, no matter how much Yang Songming asked for, they had to accept it.
Inside the warehouse, the various factions were constantly arguing over the price of the Crystal Energy Cannon, and no one noticed how strange the gaze of a black-clad staff member standing in the corner was.
Finally, Yang Songming sold all the crystal energy cannons at his own target price. After trading with these people, he looked at the grain and crystal cores in the warehouse, and the corners of his mouth stretched all the way to his ears.
Zhu Zhengzhong was leading his men to inventory the supplies, his face beaming with the joy of a "harvest." These supplies would make the Qiyuan Base even stronger.
Those who brought the crystal cannon back gathered all the people still in City B and wanted to return to their base as quickly as possible. Although the supplies they paid out in this transaction were painful, they felt that the supplies were well worth it when they thought about the benefits that the crystal cannon could bring them.
Among them, the Wang family acted the fastest. Only a small portion of the Wang family came to City B; the majority remained in City H. Their main purpose in coming here was to use any means necessary to help them completely take over City H.
They had received a message that the Wang family's main base was already struggling due to the explosive growth in the number of superhumans. After obtaining the Crystal Energy Cannon, Wang Fengyu quickly led his men back to the H City base.
Meanwhile, Ye Lin, Chen Yu, and Jiang Yue sat in their office, looking at the reports on their terminal screens. They had already figured out all the hidden networks of forces. They exchanged glances and realized that there were actually more than a dozen bases involved in this operation.
Just then, Luo Jiaojiao knocked on the door and walked in with a big smile. The moment she saw Chen Yu and Jiang Yue, her smile froze. "You...you're not..."
Ye Lin had clearly ordered Chen Yu and Jiang Yue to be locked up, so how did these two end up in Ye Lin's office? She looked up at Ye Lin, whose eyes, which had been full of tenderness, were now icy cold. Her heart sank, and a thought flashed through her mind: It's over, we've been discovered.
Before she could make a move, Chen Yu moved swiftly, leaping out like lightning. A bolt of electricity quickly entered Luo Jiaojiao's body, and she felt a sharp pain all over her body. The next second, the whole world turned dark.
"Thump." Luo Jiaojiao fell straight to the ground, and the three people in the room completely ignored her.
Ye Lin looked up at Jiang Yue and said, "These people have just obtained the crystal cannon, and they will soon make their next move. Our people have already installed tracking devices on the crystal cannon, so we must find the right time to activate it."
Jiang Yue nodded, "Yes."
"We can proceed with the Qi family now, but remember to leave Qi Junwei behind."
Chen Yu nodded, "Okay."
“As for this woman,” Ye Lin didn’t even look at Luo Jiaojiao on the ground. He only turned to Chen Yu, “she should know a lot about the Qiyuan Base. You can interrogate her.”
Chen Yu nodded. Four months had passed, and it was time to end this matter.
When Luo Jiaojiao woke up, she was already in the dungeon of the B City base. She had been injected with a superpower drug, and her whole body was weak and powerless. She was tied to the rack behind her and could not move.
She slowly opened her eyes and immediately remembered what had happened before she lost consciousness. She looked around in horror and saw several people standing in the shadows not far away.
The dim light made it impossible for her to see who they were. She moved her body and realized she was tied up. She immediately shouted at the men, trembling, "How dare you tie me up! Do you know who I am?! Let me go, or your base commander will not let you off the hook!"
She knew she was in a bad situation and that being tied up here was likely because Ye Lin had given his approval. Calling out his name now was just a bluff, but Ye Lin was the only person she could bring up now.
A sneer rang out, followed by a hoarse male voice, "You're still dreaming."
At this moment, a person emerged from the shadows and walked up to Luo Jiaojiao. Luo Jiaojiao stared wide-eyed in even greater horror. This person was none other than Bi Xiaolei!
"You...you're not..." Although Luo Jiaojiao was slow-witted, the moment she saw Bi Xiaolei, her mind cleared up. It turned out that this was all an act! It was all a lie.
Once she realized it was a scam, the scene immediately flashed through her mind. She was shocked at first, and then she understood that Bi Xiaolei was just an ordinary level 3 ability user. How could he have so easily broken into Ye Lin's hospital room?!
This was all because Ye Lin wanted her to remove the supernatural power that was affecting Bi Xiaolei; it was all a trap!
"Haha..." Luo Jiaojiao looked at Bi Xiaolei, "You guys really went to great lengths to win my trust. The dignified B City base commander actually had to act alongside a woman like me!"
At that moment, Yin Chuan's voice came from the shadows, "Xiao Lei, you don't have to hold back anymore."
Bi Xiaolei looked at Luo Jiaojiao with eyes that seemed to spit fire. In his more than 20 years of life, he had never hated anyone so much.
He returned safely to his teammates, but he lost his girlfriend who loved him deeply. Every day, watching Xi Haiyang dote on Xiao Han, his heart ached. But he also knew that he had no right to be angry or jealous anymore. It was all because of the woman in front of him. He wanted to tear Luo Jiaojiao to pieces!
But the captain told him that the time was not right and that the plan could not be disrupted, and asked him to be patient.
Now he finally doesn't have to endure it anymore!
