The guard, Zhen Ke, who had been standing at the door, responded expressionlessly, then bowed and opened the door. "Lord Yan, please."
Yan Yu nodded, stood up, bowed to Yu Zhenlong, and then turned and strode towards the door. His upright and strong figure exuded his strength.
The door slammed shut, leaving Yu Zhenlong sitting coldly on the sofa with a sneer.
"Have you had enough of the show?" Yu Zhenlong said indifferently to every corner of the room, his voice cold and devoid of warmth.
"It was quite a show." A wardrobe in the room was slowly pulled open, and a blond foreigner walked out from behind it. "Yu, it seems you've really had a tough time."
“Isn’t this exactly what you wanted?” Yu Zhenlong glanced at the foreigner, then picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. “Qin Lichang will cause a ruckus at my Xiyu base, and you can then take the opportunity to break through the western border.”
“Yu, don’t say that.” The foreigner shook his head. “We are friends. I’ve said it before, as long as you are sincere in cooperating with us, we will help you get rid of Mu Yanxuan and Qin Lichang, get rid of everyone in the C Country Military Region, and give you the most loyal backing, so that you can have the supreme position among the four major bases.”
With the government gone, what's the point of talking about the four major bases?
Yu Zhenlong understood this, but he still had no right to say no.
If he agrees, they might be able to keep more people at the Xiyu base, but if he refuses outright... Yu Zhenlong looked up at the relaxed foreigner and clenched his fists slightly. This guy might just quickly kill all the high-ranking officials at their Xiyu base.
The man before him possessed the strongest strength he had ever seen in his twenty-odd years of life.
“Riller, I hope you’ll leave some room for maneuver in your actions. I, Yu Zhenlong, will not stand by and watch my base be destroyed by you.” Yu Zhenlong stood up, looked at Riller who was calmly sitting at the table and pouring himself a cup of tea, and said coldly, “I just need you to create some trouble for the people in the military region so that my Dao can have a short period of development. Don’t overestimate yourselves.”
Yu Zhenlong finished speaking coldly, turned around, and walked out. He understood that Ruiler wouldn't make a move against him yet, and he also needed an opportunity...
Ruiler brought his men to cause trouble for the military region, so naturally he wouldn't bring too many people. With Mu Yanxuan and Qin Lichang from the military region, plus Ruiler from country B, it was a three-way battle. And since his Xiyu base was the closest, it was impossible for him not to benefit.
He coldly touched the newly grown stubble on his chin and strode towards his room. He was really tired after a long day, and it was time to relax.
...
Meanwhile, in Zhong Jue's private villa in the western part of the Xiyu base, Zhong Jue sat silently in the dark basement, staring blankly at his severed arm.
Although Yu Zhenlong had officially arrested him, he had secretly released him long ago. As for Xu Lingnan's fate, he didn't know, and he couldn't be bothered to care about it now.
The woman before him was covered in wounds, her body a gruesome sight, bruises and welts. Blood gushed from her lower body. Qiao Ying stared blankly at the ground, seemingly trying to struggle but unable to move. She let out a soft moan, her body limp from blood loss.
"child……"
Zhong Jue seemed to snap out of his daze when he heard Qiao Ying's voice. He threw the iron rod in his hand to the ground, and the loud thud made Qiao Ying's eyes widen in surprise.
Zhong Jue squatted down in front of Qiao Ying, calmly watching the blood slowly oozing from beneath her. His voice was very calm, yet it made people tremble involuntarily, "When did you get pregnant?"
Qiao Ying didn't speak. She weakly propped her head up with her chin, a look of madness flashing in her eyes. Her vision blurred. Was she going to die...? She was unwilling. She had to kill Zhong Jue. She had to tear Zhong Jue to pieces!
But she couldn't do it... but her broken body couldn't do it! She was unwilling, unwilling to accept it!
"What a pity." Zhong Jue tugged at his empty left sleeve and suddenly laughed. "I've lost my left arm, but I don't care about the child in your belly."
“Everything I have was ruined by Ji Yueyao.” Zhong Jue sat down on the ground, staring down at Qiao Ying’s face with a chilling aura. “I suddenly remembered… if it weren’t for you, that bitch Ji Yueyao wouldn’t have come to the Xiyu base.”
"So...you can die too." Zhong Jue's smile finally turned sour. He glared at Qiao Ying with a ferocious expression, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He picked up the iron bar from the ground and struck Qiao Ying's head directly. He saw Qiao Ying lying motionless on the ground, her head bleeding profusely.
Looking at the iron bar in his hand, Zhong Jue felt a strange sense of pleasure. He threw his head back and laughed loudly, then casually tossed the iron bar aside.
He looked around, took a can of gasoline from a nearby cabinet, and poured it around the basement.
"Using this extremely precious gasoline to send you off... it's not a waste of the time we spent as lovers, is it?" Zhong Jue smiled faintly, walked upstairs step by step, lit a lighter and threw it down.
Flames erupted behind him, but he calmly walked upstairs. Once up there, he set the sofa, the curtains, and everything within reach that could be set on fire before finally walking out with a satisfied sigh.
He has now lost an arm, and his position as head of the search department is in jeopardy... No matter what, he must secure his position.
Fortunately, he has now married Huang Ran, the daughter of the head of the invasion department, and Huang Ran is now his only remaining asset... Therefore, Qiao Ying's existence must be completely eliminated...
Looking at the firelight before him, Zhong Jue turned and left without looking back, disappearing into the darkness.
As soon as Ji Yueyao woke up, she saw the raging fire outside the window. She was stunned for a moment, then sat up and walked to the window. Was there a fire there...? The fire was really big.
"There...there's a fire!" A familiar, childish voice rang out downstairs. Ji Yueyao looked down and saw Qiao Xiong running outside.
Now that Qiao Xiong has been cured of the termites, his physical condition hasn't changed much, but some of his physical ailments have disappeared. So he can run and jump around without any problems for the time being, but his body still can't run for long periods of time.
"We can't go there, it's dangerous!" Kachi rushed out of the room and grabbed Qiao Xiong.
Qiao Xiong is now ten years old. He struggles with his chubby face and looks very cute. He wriggles in Kaqi's arms for a couple of moments before giving up in despair. But when he looks up, he sees Ji Yueyao standing at the window.
"Sister, there's a fire over there!" Qiao Xiong's childish voice rang out clearly.
Seeing Qiao Xiong so energetic, Ji Yueyao couldn't help but smile. If Sister Qiao were here, she would be so happy to see Qiao Xiong so lively. "Yes, I see." (To be continued.)
