“He probably wants to…become a dictator.” Mu Yanxuan swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking slowly.
"Dictatorship?" Ji Yueyao was taken aback, then suddenly realized. The Xiyu Base currently has five departments operating simultaneously, meaning that the overall economic development of the Xiyu Base is monopolized by these five departments. And if these five departments listen to Yu Zhenlong, things are alright; but if one day they stop listening… then Yu Zhenlong will be practically useless.
Although Yu Zhenlong also had some secretarial departments under his command, they were ultimately no match for the five major departments, which were full of talented people.
"So that's why he's promoting young people and driving out the old ones?" Ji Yueyao suddenly realized. "He's even going after his wife... It seems he really has something big planned."
"Just a clever trick." Mu Yanxuan shook his head and said disdainfully, "The current situation in the Xiyu base is a five-way standoff. Yu Zhenlong doesn't dare to directly eliminate the old guards in the five departments who have real power, so he can only start with their next generation."
Ji Yueyao seemed to be deep in thought, "If you put it that way... isn't Yu Zhenlong worried that the older generation will find out?"
"Those involved are often blinded by their own interests," Mu Yanxuan said calmly. "For the older generation who are used to a life of ease and high-risk positions, who would suddenly realize that Yu Zhenlong is going to make a move against them? And the younger generation will only be indulging in the joy of promotion; who would care about these things?"
This is probably the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace... Ji Yueyao nodded, thanked Mu Yanxuan, and put another piece of food on his plate. He secretly resolved to improve his analytical skills in the future.
Mu Yanxuan was a little full, but he still happily ate the food that Ji Yueyao had put on his plate. Just kidding, even if you're full, you have to eat until you're stuffed. If you're stuffed... then just keep eating until you're stuffed. Anyway, you won't die from stuffing yourself.
But if you ate yourself to death... that would be too embarrassing.
"Has Kachi not come back yet?" After finishing dinner, Ji Yueyao sat on the sofa and flicked Tiankong's head, ignoring Tiankong's mournful little eyes.
The sky's eyes suddenly brightened; for some reason, Ji Yueyao exuded a familiar aura today...
Ji Yueyao glanced at the doorway, her heart filled with worry. She hadn't seen Kaqi since she returned, and it had been a whole day. Where had she gone to look for Yao Lin?
Kachi definitely didn't know Yao Lin was in the training area, so she would definitely go to Yao Lin's house to look for him...
Tsk, Ji Yueyao suddenly stood up. How could she have overlooked this point? She didn't even know what the situation was like at Yao Lin's home. Kaqi went alone... how could anyone feel at ease!
Looking at the pitch-black sky outside, Ji Yueyao looked down at the sky and asked, "How far can your abilities reach at night?"
“Covering the entire Xiyu base is no problem,” Sky said smugly.
"Okay." Ji Yueyao nodded in satisfaction, then placed Tiankong on the table. "Then I won't take you with me. You can give me directions from here, right?"
The Sky's ability covers a wide field of vision centered on it. Although it can only be used at night, the coverage area is extremely vast. Therefore... it's not necessary to carry it with you at all times.
The sky is dumbfounded. It wants to go for a drive too, okay? Ji Yueyao, how could you be so cruel!
"Help me find where Kachi is," Ji Yueyao whispered, leaning over the table.
Sky snorted and ignored her, but still used his ability to search for Kachi's location.
"She... was being held by a man, no, it looked like there were many men." Sky found Kachi's location in two or three minutes. His eyes dimmed slightly. Constantly receiving sounds from all directions was exhausting his abilities, but he quickly spoke up, "That man's name is... Xu Lingnan."
"Damn it!" They were actually in danger... Ji Yueyao gritted her teeth, got up and rushed straight out the door.
"Are you going out?" Mu Yanxuan, who was reading on the sofa, jumped up immediately upon seeing this. She grabbed her coat from the side and put it on, then caught up with Ji Yueyao and put the coat on her as well, looking like she was saying, "I'm going to follow you."
Helpless, Ji Yueyao sighed and knew she couldn't get rid of the guy behind her, so she grabbed his hand and walked out.
Ji Yueyao had been to Yao Lin's house before, so she wasn't afraid of getting lost now.
Xia Yaoxuan was sitting by the window reading documents when he looked up and saw Ji Yueyao hurriedly pulling Mu Yanxuan out... Where was she going so late?
As soon as he stood up, a sharp pain shot through his arm. Xia Yaoxuan looked at his left arm, which hadn't grown back yet, gritted his teeth, and jumped out of the window.
He had overused his powers, causing his body to be severely overloaded, and his strength should now be at its weakest... Unexpectedly, Mu Yanxuan had also held back a trick. Xia Yaoxuan's eyes darkened, he pressed down on the wound on his left arm, ignored the cold wind of the night, and chased straight after Ji Yueyao.
...
"Xu Lingnan, you traitor, you scum!" Kachi struggled to break free from Xu Lingnan's grasp, but how could an ordinary person's strength compare to that of a superhuman? So even with all her strength, she couldn't budge Xu Lingnan an inch.
"Tell me, why are you here?" Xu Lingnan stared coldly at Kaqi in front of him, a panic that no one noticed surging in his eyes. If Kaqi was here, did that mean that Ji Yueyao had also come to the Xiyu base?
"Get lost, don't talk to me!" Kachi gritted her teeth and kicked Xu Lingnan hard, but this kick, which Xu Lingnan thought was insignificant, successfully enraged him.
Xu Lingnan's dangerous eyes were fixed on Kaqi, as if he wanted to cut a piece of flesh off her face. "Don't be so stubborn, Kaqi. I'm only speaking to you nicely because we used to be partners. Don't take advantage of my kindness."
"Heh." Kachi returned the cold laugh. She struggled for a moment, then glared with bloodshot eyes and said coldly, "If you weren't the captain, what would you be now, Xu Lingnan? Don't you feel any remorse standing here?"
Clenching his fists, Xu Lingnan forcefully shoved Kachi away, gritted his teeth, and turned his head away.
"Brother!" Xu Yajun squeezed through the crowd, stared at Kaqi who had been thrown to the ground in surprise, and then quickly squatted down to help Kaqi up. "Brother, what are you doing!"
"Why are you here? Who told you all this!" Xu Lingnan frowned as he saw Xu Yajun suddenly run over, grabbed him, and said in a very harsh tone, "Why are you running around so late instead of staying at home!"
Xu Yajun was so startled by Xu Lingnan's outburst that tears welled up in her eyes. She sobbed, "Brother, what's wrong with you... You've become like this ever since Ji Yueyao died... Give me back the gentle brother you used to be, sob sob..."
Kachi stood up somewhat awkwardly, with a large patch of skin scraped off her leg, and it hurt whenever she moved.
Yao Lin was tied up to one side, his head bowed and silent, seemingly in a state of utter collapse. (To be continued.)
