Chapter 38
Congratulations on growing up?
Congratulations on growing up.
Congratulations on growing up!
Ji Huai's eyes turned red with anger. The grievance and anger burned his non-existent tear glands, and he was about to cry.
Yun Piancheng always said that he was young and that he would understand when he grew up. But her standard for judging whether he had grown up was whether he liked her?
What kind of shitty standard is this!
Why did Yun Piancheng think that he was not worthy of being loved? Why did she think that he did not like her?
"you……"
Ji Huai took a deep breath and held back his tears. He didn't want to use tears to coax Yun Piancheng anymore. He just wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Let's all calm down, Xiao Huai."
Yun Piancheng interrupted Ji Huai and didn't dare to listen to what Ji Huai was going to say. He deliberately avoided looking at Ji Huai's face, for fear that he would be soft-hearted again and overturn the high wall he had built with his own hands.
"...I'm calm." Ji Huai lowered his head and tilted it a little to the right, out of Yun Piancheng's sight.
One second, two seconds.
Ji Huai couldn't help himself and tried his best to use the coldest tone he could to ask Yun Piancheng: "So... Cheng Yun, what am I in your eyes? What have you always regarded me as?"
Family?
Or a pet?
Yun Piancheng didn't say anything. He thought for a moment and gave an answer: "We are friends, Xiao Huai. I told you so when we first entered Belu City."
"Are we just friends?" Ji Huai gritted his teeth, but his tears still couldn't stop, falling one drop after another.
The blood on his body had begun to dry and turn brown, and then was soaked with tears, turning it dark brown.
“…Yeah, always.”
Ji Huai wiped away his tears, turned around and walked into Yun Piancheng's room. Without saying a word, he took out all his clothes from the closet, carried them into the guest room, and closed the door.
Yun Piancheng almost wanted to crush the quick-healing needle in his palm, but his body's self-protection consciousness stopped this dangerous behavior.
It's good, think positively.
Isn't this the result she has been waiting for?
She walked into the room, looked at the half-empty wardrobe, and stared blankly at the low-saturation black, white and gray clothes inside.
So annoying.
Why hasn't Kofi come yet?
Does she still want to take down the Red Scorpion?

Red Scorpion headquarters, suburban villa.
The virtual screen opened in front of Dan, with two names on it grayed out.
Hu Yang and Jiang Hang, two traitors.
Dan had known that their mission with Lin would fail.
He just didn't want to deal with them personally, as it would make him seem very cold-blooded. He would abandon his loyal subordinates who had followed him for many years.
Besides, Dan knew he didn't have long to live.
To be precise, when he was deprived of his right to speak by a bullet a few days ago, he already knew who he had offended.
The military was being targeted by the alliance, and many people requested to keep an eye on it.
There were even people from the alliance who came in person to kill her, considering the time she arrived in Belu City.
Overall, Cheng Yun’s identity is not difficult to guess.
Cheng Yun is the Yun Piancheng who died in battle as mentioned in the overwhelming obituaries, the Marshal Yun who once set a record of infiltrating a large-scale space pirate organization alone and wiping it out completely.
In this way, thinking back to the day when they attacked Kofi, his men were quickly located and killed by Yun Piancheng, so their deaths were not unfair.
Dan didn't care since he was going to die anyway. He dragged out a half-edited document and deleted everything.
He entered the byrzly account number he had left in the self-destructing message, wrote a message, and clicked send.
The message was quickly shown as delivered.
The content is very short, only three words.
【Yun Piancheng】
Dan did not ask for help from this strange account. He knew that he was involved in a great dispute, but unfortunately, he was not qualified to have a share of this huge war.
He even knew that if he was not killed by Yun Piancheng, this strange account would send someone to execute him.
It's funny, no one believed that Dan's ambition was very small, he just wanted the city of Belu.
He will not bow to the alliance like the Irving family did. He wants to be independent and keep conscription away from Planet X-176 forever, so that no one will have to fight for those exemptions.
For such a bright future, sacrifice is inevitable.
So he could attack Kofi, attack those who helped Kofi, send people to the front line to injure Kofi's father, or let Hu Yang and Jiang Hang go to their deaths, and send Lin off at the same time.
He had considered destroying himself and Yun Piancheng together, and he knew that he could find Kofi at her place, but he didn't go.
Red Scorpios wouldn't do this in public.
Dan waited patiently, but the message only showed as delivered, with no response.
It’s okay, Dan smiled, go see the children, you may not see them again in the future.

Meng Xun's light brain vibrated, and he opened the account "byrzly" to check - he received a message from the planet X-176.
The message was simple, a name that couldn't be more familiar.
Oops, it's exposed so soon.
"Hey, don't pay attention to me so closely, buddy, pay attention to your privacy."
Meng Xun pushed Lila away with his hand and told him to stay away and keep an eye on him.
It was actually a very common thing for Mullin to have someone monitor him, but just now, Lira was sent over to strengthen the surveillance.
Comparing this information, it was not difficult for Meng Xun to conclude that Mu Lin must have discovered that his subordinates who he sent to work on planet X-176 were missing or dead, and suspected that he was the one who did it.
Or to think more boldly, Mu Lin has already confirmed that Cheng Yun is Yun Piancheng.
But it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, his goal has been achieved. The dispatch and investigation have delayed a lot of time.
"Boyle Zale, is it your business to manage the people's march? Can't you just stay at home?" Lila slapped Meng Xun's hand away and asked with his arms crossed.
"It also saves me from having to run around with you outside. It's so crowded and hot!"
Meng Xun extended his index finger and shook it left and right. "I still prefer people to call me Meng Xun, my friend. I don't like the Zhalai family."
"Besides, I'm coming, what do you care?"
"Yo!" Lila seemed to have heard something strange. "You worked so hard to kill Hessel and take over the Zalai family. You tell me you don't like the Zalai family?"
Meng Xun's face suddenly turned cold: "I told you, if you want to mention her, just praise her. Why do you always pick on me?"
"I don't like the last name Zalai, so whoever likes it can give it to them."
Leela nodded and scoffed, "Hmmmm, the little bastard has quite a temper."
It didn't hurt Meng Xun at all. Meng Xun was too lazy to argue with Lila. He waved his hand and turned Lila's gaze behind him.
"You don't understand! Listen, Kraya did a great job!"
Leela listened.
Well, the masses were marching, questioning why the alliance did not immediately elect a new marshal, and whether there was any hidden reason behind the death of the old marshal.
The manager has not come forward to explain the situation yet. What is he doing?
Is it out of guilt or surprise that he has removed the thorn in his side?
But soon, people's voice changed.
The people marching with display screens suddenly made way to both sides.
At the end of the road, a woman in a silver-white military uniform and a military cap was standing there. The Union badge on top of the cap reflected light in the sunlight, which was like light pollution.
She also had semi-long hair, pursed her lips, and had a serious expression, which was somewhat similar to Yun Piancheng's.
Her eyes swept across people's faces one by one.
Although they disrupted public order, they were speaking up for General Yun, which was acceptable.
Well, let’s not hold everyone accountable today.
Meng Xun knew her, in other words, he was very familiar with her - Virginia Walker, Yun Piancheng's other adjutant. Unlike him, who had connections with others, her military achievements were real.
She is an absolute Yun Piancheng fanatic and only listens to her. Even if the manager comes, she cannot be moved unless Yun Piancheng gives the order.
Virginia disliked him, and Meng Xun knew it.
Virginia, who was extremely sensitive to ambition and malice, knew that he was not a good person and was always on guard against him.
She asked for credit and reward in front of Yun Piancheng, scrambling to complete various tasks, determined to make her presence felt as much as possible and never miss any chance for Meng Xun to be reused.
Of course Meng Xun didn't care. He wasn't interested in that, and he also knew that Virginia was not included in Yun Piancheng and Yang Valen's plan.
It’s not because I don’t trust Virginia, but not telling her is the best way to use her.
"Hi~" Meng Xun greeted Virginia.
Virginia didn't even bother to give him a glance, she just stood in the middle of the crowd, raised one hand and pressed down.
The crowd was quiet.
"Everyone!" Virginia said loudly.
"I, Virginia Walker, the Marshal's most loyal adjutant and one of only two lieutenant generals in the Alliance Army, hereby declare!"
She stomped her feet together with great vigor and gave a standard military salute to the people around her.
"I, Virginia Walker, formerly Lieutenant General of the Alliance Armed Forces, have been ordered by the Chief to be promoted to General and to succeed General Yun as Marshal, commanding the Alliance Armed Forces."
Virginia's eyes were firm and unyielding as she swept over the crowd, including Meng Xun.
As the general with the most outstanding military achievements besides Yun Piancheng, her promotion was not surprising to everyone. At this time, they quieted down and listened quietly.
Newspapers that received the information early arranged for special personnel to set up special video equipment to take photos and broadcast live.
"I know what other issues you are most concerned about." Virginia said, her eyes like a hawk, staring through the virtual screen at the high-level insider who was paying close attention to the scene.
She raised her lips and said, "I will take over General Yun's position and shoulder all her responsibilities. In addition—"
"I will execute everyone who attacks General Yun. Not a single one will be spared!"
"Hide, gutter rat."
Meng Xun smiled, met Virginia's gaze, shook his head, and turned away.
He didn't like the speech, so he stretched himself and walked in the opposite direction.
Lila and other people responsible for monitoring him followed closely behind, determined not to let Meng Xun out of their sight.
Before he had walked two hundred meters, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder with such force that it hurt.
"Virginia, why are you so fierce?" Meng Xun gently patted the hand on his shoulder, signaling the person to let go.
Virginia let go of Meng Xun and looked coldly at the grinning man in front of her who turned to face her.
"Meng Xun, why are you idling here instead of training?"
Virginia's eyes were firm and her scorching gaze almost penetrated Meng Xun.
"Perhaps I can question whether you are one of the traitors."
