Facing Tang Ye’s doubt, the man smiled and advanced step by step until he stood before Tang Ye. In a soft voice, he said, "This Pingnan Base was actually President Li’s from the very beginning. I was rely a stand-in."
"Why?"
Hearing his words, Tang Ye felt even more puzzled.
"No reason. Consider this base a large gift we are offering President Li. Please accept it." The man bowed once again, the movent seeming increasingly strained.
"Us? You an the Qian Long Club? Who are you? And, you said your surna is Ning?"
"Seeing that President Li has learned so news, indeed, I do co from Qian Long Club, and my surna is Ning."
"What kind of faction is the Qian Long Club?"
"President Li, you don’t need to know so much. If possible, we would prefer never to cross paths with you."
"Is that so?" Tang Ye sneered.
"Of course, unless you intend to head north."
At this point, the man’s face took on a peculiar cast.
Behind him, countless plain-clothed soldiers ca together, forming a square formation, standing motionless.
"As you can see, he is Li Henian, Chairman of the Peace Party. From this day forward, he is the ruler of Pingnan Base!"
"Yes!"
Those soldiers seed to already know this. After only a few seconds of silent surprise, they began to chant loud affirmations.
The man appeared to have said all he intended to. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Tang Ye.
"Wait."
The man paused, asking, "Honorable Chairman, is there anything else you need?"
"What exactly are you planning to do? Simply giving a base, or is there sothing else?"
"No, no, no, Chairman. You’re overthinking it. We truly just want to give you a base."
The man shrugged, then turned to leave.
"Hold him!" Tang Ye gave a cold command. Buddy Gong Xiao, standing nearby, whipped out a lash and instantly tangled it around the Man’s waist.
"Get back here!"
Gong Xiao gave the cord a strong pull, releasing all her Level 5 zombie strength, but oddly, the man didn’t budge.
The next second, the whip snapped and Gong Xiao was flung away by an invisible force.
"Chairman, what is this...?"
"Did I say that you could go?"
"Oh, so is there anything else?" The man’s attitude subtly changed. He no longer addressed Tang Ye formally but switched to "you." .
Tang Ye turned around and stared at the man nad Ning. After a while, he finally asked, "Where is your daughter?"
"My daughter..." The man looked dazed for a mont and froze on the spot.
"You... you are looking for her... she has already left. I seem to... know you, but I would still advise you not to look for her. Otherwise, you will be very disappointed. Alright, is there anything else? If not, I am leaving now."
"Disappointed..." Tang Ye stood there for a while, pondering what the man ant. Seeing that Tang Ye didn’t respond for a while, the man turned and left. Tang Ye didn’t notice him until he had completely disappeared from sight.
About half a minute later, Tang Ye snapped back to reality. He glanced around with a cold look and said lightly, "Pingnan Base... You’ve really given quite a gift."
Then, Tang Ye turned and entered a towering, spiraled building. A few monts later, a shipnt from Shiwuguan Base carried thousands of Peace Party soldiers into the Pingnan Base, comncing clearing operations to eliminate all wrongdoing...
Click... click...
In a dimly lit room, the clicking sound of a lighter sounded continuously. Finally, a twisted fla rose and lit a cigar. The smoker took a deep drag and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke with a heavy sigh.
"Hey, what do they say on your end?"
"Committee mber, the others are saying we should distribute the benefits..."
Thwack!
The noise of sothing being slamd echoed, followed by the enraged voice of the smoker.
"What? They want to share? After all the people I have lost on my side? Now these bastards put on a show and want to take what I’ve earned? Tell them they can go to hell!"
"But...we don’t have anyone on our side. If we don’t do this, we might offend everyone, committee mber. Now is not like before, you need to think this through."
The voice on the other end of the phone made the smoker calm down sowhat. He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that was about to explode at any mont, and said, "Fine, we’ll have a eting tomorrow. We can talk about what happens then."
"Committee mber, it’s best to leave it at that. You need to think carefully. If anything goes wrong, we might be expunged."
Drip...drip~
The smoker didn’t speak again, hung up the phone, stubbed out the half-smoked cigar and left, cradling his coat.
The instant he opened the door, his eyes accustod to darkness were stung by the brilliant sunlight, making him slightly uncomfortable. As the soldiers who passed him observed a respectful salute, although he ignored them entirely. He moreover didn’t notice that today had a peculiar air in Jinhai United District.
Descending the staircase of the Jinhai Affairs Building, he took a winding hillside path. As he ventured further, fewer and fewer soldiers appeared around him.
Not hearing the usual chorus of "good day, Committee mber" made him pause. He looked around, confused, and said in a deep voice, "What’s going on? Has Zhang Kaijie started trouble again with his people?"
His mind only harbored this thought. What he didn’t know was that in the military district on the other side of the Jinhai United District, a soldier’s corpse was being dragged into an alley by a tentacle. Imdiately afterward, screams filled the air.
The one he referred to as Zhang Kaijie was bound hands and feet to a chair, unable to move.
In front of him, a stunningly beautiful woman toyed with his face with her dainty hand.
"You...who are you?"
Zhang Kaijie was pale with horror, looking at the impeccable woman in front of him, who looked like a fairy from heaven. When he first ca across this woman, he thought he had found a treasure. A fairy like this, to sleep with her for a night, even if he lost twenty years of his life, it would still be worth it.
But he thought so and when he dragged the fairy into his room, that was when Zhang Kaijie realized, was this a fairy? It was more like a witch!
"? You’ll find out soon enough."
Gong Xiao chuckled and activated the communicator on her wrist.
"Hey, Boss, I’ve caught a big fish here. You wanna co and take a look?"
"Wait there. I’ll be right over."
"Alright."
Gong Xiao laughed and turned off the communicator. Shortly after, Tang Ye barged in, catching sight of the bound Zhang Kaijie at first glance.
"How big is this fish?"
"You’ll have to ask him that."
