Chapter 410: Started Hacking
Several times he was almost shot down. The pilot was a very young man. He had the least experience but piloting a combat jet had always been his dream. He had given his best to gain the opportunity to participate in this drill. He thought he could finally win honor for his team but he ended up being cornered from the very beginning. Basically, all he’d done since the beginning was evading, evading, and more evading…
However, the young man didn’t give up. Until the very last moment, he would not surrender or lose hope!
As the man avoided another enemy attack, a clear woman’s voice appeared in his ear mic, “I will be supporting you from now on, I don’t know the code words so please listen to my orders closely, turn left immediately.”
The man was still in shock when the order came. However, thanks to his training, he unconsciously turned left. Right at that moment, an enemy combat jet fired at the empty area he was just in a few seconds ago. This came as another shock to the man and at that moment, another order came.
“Fly up, then fire to your right!”
The man acted on his reflex even though he no idea why he should be doing all that, but after he did, his attack successfully hit an enemy combat jet!
The man widened his eyes in shock. Yan Lu and the gang’s jaws were on the floor. This… This is too ridiculous!
Xinghe really managed to predict the enemy’s trajectory and launched the counter attack beforehand. If they were a few seconds too late, their jet would have been shot down. However, in those few seconds, she saw through the enemy’s movement. Even accomplished soldiers couldn’t do that…
She must be like some kind main character in a novel because that is the only way to explain her over-poweredness!
Munan and the rest’s feelings were complicated but, for the most part, they were feeling a sense of excitement. They felt honored being in such an impossible character’s presence.
…
Once again, reality had proven Xinghe had a super computer for her brain. She could use her instinct and experience to predict the enemies’ movements. Just like how a learned mathematician could predict the trajectory of a thrown object’s arc, Xinghe was doing the same with the combat jets.
With her orders, the young pilot was completely reborn. He turned the whole situation around by shooting down more than a handful of combat jets himself. The tide of battle was changing, now Saohuang’s team was cornered.
This sudden turn brought about an increase in fighting spirit in Munan’s men, they showcased beyond normal levels of ability. Very soon, they were picking off their enemies one by one, it was a one-sided slaughter!
This result shocked not only Munan’s team but also Saohuang’s side as well.
“What is happening? How did it become like this?” Saohuang stared fixatedly at the screen and questioned in disbelief.
“We have no clue, it’s like our opponent suddenly started hacking the competition or something,” an adjutant replied anxiously.
“Just what the f*ck are you people doing?” Saohuang turned to rip into the people who were commanding.
One of them responded with difficulty, “Sir, for some reason, it’s as if they have gained the ability to see the future.”
Chapter 411: Xinghe Was More Handsome than Them
“Before we even begin to commit to our strategy, they’ve already reacted. We don’t have the time to evade their attacks.”
“Then, couldn’t you people do the same back to them?” Saohuang asked chillingly.
“We could but we’re always a few seconds too late…” And that few seconds decides everything.
“I have to say, if we lose, none of you will leave this unscathed!” Saohuang didn’t care anymore, he threatened his men directly. The room was stunned but no one dared to say anything. Saohuang was infamous for his cold-bloodedness. No one dared to anger him or object because their ending would be horrendous. The commanders slapped themselves into alertness, trying their best to salvage the situation. The atmosphere was highly tense and urgency was in the air.
Under Saohuang’s threat, their commanding ability increased but it wasn’t enough to turn things around. Their combat jets kept getting shot down. The team formation was broken, all strategy thrown out the window…
The only thing they could do now was evade attack and tried to sneak in an attack. Their whole team was a mess, the attacks were sloppy. Munan’s side had kept their discipline, the role of bait and trap was clear. In fact, the more they fought, the better they became. On Saohuang’s side, no matter how much he threatened them, the writing was already on the wall. Finally, the battle was over!
When the last combat jet was taken down, Saohuang’s aura was so scary that it seemed it could swallow a man alive. They had lost in aerial combat!
This was a rude surprise to him because he had really lost…
…
“Yes, we’ve won!”
“We won!”
It was a completely different scenario on Munan’s side. Everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs; they were close to bringing their enemies down.
“Miss Xia, a job well done! I had no idea you would be so good at this, please take me as your student, I can’t wait to learn from you. My admiration for you can’t be suppressed anymore!” a commander said excitedly.
Everyone else was equally ecstatic. “Miss Xia, it was like you were playing a game just now, so how were you so good?”
That was accurate. When Xinghe was commanding the pilot, it sounded like she was playing a flight simulator. Many times, she gave off the impression that this was nothing but a game to her. This was because the thing seemed to come too easily to her.
Her every prediction was correct. Throughout the process, Munan’s gang’s attention was completely on her commanding skill instead of the screen. She was handsome as she rattled off her orders, even more eye-grabbing than most of them. The group of men had to admit, Xinghe had them completely bested…
“Miss Xia, I have nothing more to say. Next time, if you’re in any trouble, come find me. One word and I, Yan Lu, will go to hell for you!” Yan Lu promised with a bump on his chest.
Gu Li also nodded. “Miss Xia, I already considered you my comrade. Don’t hesitate to come to me as well, should you need my assistance.”
“Miss Xia, don’t leave me out of this!”
“Me too!”
Everyone fought to swear allegiance to Xinghe, this was something that had not happened before. Xinghe looked at them and couldn’t help but smile. “Thank you.”
Little did she know, none of them were kidding.
Chapter 412: Burning Blood, Burning Passion
When she needed their help in the future, they really would throw themselves into the line of fire for her…
Munan was glad witnessing Xinghe’s growing popularity; he was proud of his sister-in-law!
If not for this crisis facing the Xi family, Munan had a sneaking suspicion that Mubai would’ve kept Xinghe from prying eyes and to himself forever. If he had met such a wonderful woman himself, he probably would do the same…
She was like the world’s best treasure, having her is not much less than having the world. Munan felt happy for his brother for having found such an important person in his life.
He smiled and tried to control the rowdy crowd, “Alright, let’s calm down because the battle is not yet over. We might have won this round, but there are two more rounds to go. Be alert and don’t let your guard down! We must take advantage of this heightened morale and beat them in one go!”
“Defeat them! Defeat them!” Everyone started chanting, their blood boiling. Xinghe was also influenced by their inflamed passion. She followed along for the next two rounds, supporting the troops from the side lines.
After Munan’s men won the aerial combat, it started a domino effect, the naval combat and land combat were a one-sided sweep as well! Like a sharp arrow, Munan’s platoon shot through their enemy with ease.
…
The drill that lasted for a few days finally came to an end. The victory was Munan’s!
At the moment that was announced, everyone cheered. They didn’t think they would win so overwhelmingly. There were no losses, they had won everything! A perfect victory so to speak.
This wiped out the memories of their earlier loss. Revenge was theirs.
This battle also brought them many epiphanies and much experience. The whole platoon understood that a small loss was not forever, with enough determination and hard work, success would eventually come. They had gotten psychologically more mature. Munan believed his team would not be brought down so easily no matter what disaster came their way in the future.
Similarly, they had learned to not gloat or let their guard down after a win. In conclusion, no matter what happened in the future, they would continue marching on, proud of their team and themselves!
Therefore, this match had not only brought them a victory but also a change in attitude, and this was the more important reward because attitude decided everything.
Of course, the victory had to be celebrated as well. To celebrate this victory, the whole camp decided to throw a party. From Yan Lu and the rest’s perspective, Xinghe was the biggest contributor, so they wanted to make use of this opportunity to thank her but she rejected them.
“Miss Xia, you have to come to the party; how can we throw a party without its hero‽” Yan Lu tried his best to change her mind. Gu Li joined in but she was unmoved.
“First, I don’t think I’ve contributed anything, I only gave technical support. The victory is because everyone contributed their fair share. Second, I don’t like crowded environment like this but I thank you for thinking of me.”
Chapter 413: Plan Completely Ruined
“But you have to come, everyone’s waiting for you.”
“I think I’ll bow out of this one, have fun on my behalf.” Xinghe’s attitude was just as determined as before. It was not that she minded hanging out with them but she really didn’t like overly crowded occasions. She didn’t want to be the hero because she didn’t know how to handle the attention. She’d prefer it if they just left her be. Noticing her determination, Yan Lu and the gang chose to respect her decision.
However, Munan still took all of them along to a scrumptious dinner before leaving her be. Xinghe turned back to rest. It had been a hectic few days for her. She wanted to take the opportunity to rest and recharge. This was because, after this short celebration, there would another battle coming. They couldn’t relax completely because this was not the end. That night was only a breather…
While Munan’s camp was celebrating, Saohuang’s camp was suffocating in a depressing haze.
“Bunch of idiots! All useless!” Saohuang was furious after he had lost the drill. He was trashing his office.
Sun Yu stood beside him carefully and tried his best to console him, “Boss, Munan was only lucky this time to have won. They are not our competition, don’t worry, we’ll get them next time!”
Saohuang glared at him ruthlessly. “Lucky?”
Sun Yu nodded with a shaking heart. “That’s right, they were only lucky this time…”
“Good luck can bring them a landslide victory‽ I also want such luck then!”
“…”
“Bunch of idiots! What did I tell you people before the drill? I said we can only win, and the results? We won nothing! Bunch of idiots, you’ve ruined everything!” Thinking about his master plan that lay in tatters, Saohuang was so furious he could kill someone. No, not just someone, he wanted to kill Xi Munan and that Xia Xinghe! If possible, he wanted to shred them into pieces.
“Boss, this is all that Xia Xinghe’s fault,” Sun Yu added with a snarl, “If not for her, we wouldn’t have lost. Everything changed the moment she arrived!”
Saohuang narrowed his eyes with lethal intent. That’s right, this is all that b*tch’s fault!
“Boss, we must remove her somehow or she’ll keep getting in our way,” Sun Yu stepped forth and lower his voice to say.
Saohuang looked at him and replied, “You think I don’t know that? You think it’s so easy to do that?”
Xinghe was surrounded by a whole army, he couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to. If he could take her out easily, he would have done so a long time ago.
“Then, what shall we do? Just leave her be?”
Saohuang smirked. “Of course not! There are more than one ways to remove someone.”
“Boss, what good idea do you have in mind?” Sun Yu asked in shock. Before Saohuang could answer, his phone rang. It was from Lin Yun…
Saohuang’s dark eyes shone for a tiny bit as he picked up the phone. “Hello.”
“Big Brother Feng, I heard you lost this time, right?” Lin Yun asked nonchalantly but her tone was forceful.
“You heard right.”
Surprised that he still had the audacity to admit that, Lin Yun laughed mirthlessly. “You lost? Big Brother Feng, didn’t I tell you that you have to win both competitions? Your loss has thrown our plan into a complete disarray!”
Chapter 414: Bad Luck, Coming Again
More than thrown into disarray, the plan was completely ruined. If Saohuang could win two matches, then the Lin family had a way to immediately make him the leader of Flying Dragon Unit. The supposed half year limit would be cancelled and they would get him named the leader as soon as possible. That would enable them to deal with the Xi family faster…
But he lost!
Now that he did, there was no reason for them to keep on supporting Saohuang. Lin Yun scolded herself for having placed a bad bet on Saohuang. The man was not as good as he claimed to be.
Saohuang didn’t sound cowed at all, he replied, “This loss is indeed beyond my expectation but please believe me, this is not my intention.”
“The fact is, you lost! You let go of such a valuable opportunity, I’m hesitant to continue our collaboration if I’m perfectly honest. Therefore, Feng Saohuang, I’m giving you one last chance. If you can’t salvage this situation, our cooperation is over.”
A flash of chilliness appeared in Saohuang’s eyes but it was not reflected in his words. “Miss Lin, please do not worry, I will definitely resolve this problem as soon as possible. Please await my good news.”
“You’d better. Don’t disappoint us or you know what will happen to you!” With that, Lin Yun hung up on the phone. Saohuang put down his phone slowly, his eyes burning with hatred.
No could threaten him like that, not even the Lin family…
No matter, one day, he would have those slimy people under his feet! For now, he would make use of them to deal with the Xi family first. But before that, he needed with deal with that Xia Xinghe!
As the plan formed in his mind, Saohuang’s lips curved into a blood curdling smile, the air around him bristling with a bad omen…
…
After a night of partying, Munan’s platoon threw themselves back into training. Even after a victory, they didn’t lax on their training. If anything, their training was much more efficient than before.
Xinghe was still leading the tech team, fighting relentlessly. Just when Munan thought everything was moving towards a positive growth, bad luck struck them so suddenly!
City T’s police had unearthed yet another case of stolen military munitions. This was supposed to be something celebratory but the police found a certain person’s name in the lead smuggler’s secret file…
…
Back in Munan’s camp, Xinghe once again helped the soldiers create some new software. The entire team was in a good mood. Their admiration towards Xinghe had increased leaps and bounds.
“Miss Xia, why don’t you just join the military? It’ll feel so empty after you leave,” someone suggested, a suggestion which garnered many people’s assent.
“That’s right. Miss Xia, why don’t you stay? We can work along each other in the future!”
“Miss Xia, we love working for you! Please stay, we promise to be loyal to you forever!”
Xinghe didn’t think they would be so reluctant to see her leave. She smiled. “I also enjoy working with you guys but I don’t belong here. However, I do thank everyone for making me feel so welcomed.”
“Why would you say that? No one belongs here more than you!”
“That’s right, Miss Xia, you should stay…”
Chapter 415: Found Your Name
“The military will definitely treat you well.”
“In future, you might be recruited into the nation’s highest committee,” someone said confidently. From their perspective, Xinghe did have the capability to do so. Therefore, if she stayed, her future would be bright. Xinghe understood their kindness but this was really not where she belonged…
At that moment when she was overwhelmed by their enthusiasm, Munan walked into the room with a few people.
“Please follow me, something’s happened,” he told Xinghe seriously. She saw the solemnity in his eyes and her heart pounded from a bad feeling.
“Okay.”
She left without asking any question. The moment they departed, the room started speculating.
“What happened, looks like it wasn’t something good?”
“Could it be that something bad really happened?”
“Who knows…” Shu Mei replied softly but her tone was laced with glee. She prayed that something bad had truly happened to Xinghe!
…
“What is it?” Xinghe asked Munan when they left the tech building.
Munan said through clenched teeth, “Something bad! Big Sister Xia, you have to prepare yourself because the problem’s big this time.”
“What’s wrong?”
Munan stopped and stared at her as he said, “Yesterday the police captured another case of stolen military munition but in the leader’s secret file, they found… your name.”
Xinghe widened her eyes in shock. “My name?”
“Yes! The secret file has a list of internal staff and you’re in it. Of course, I know you have nothing to do it but your name is really there.”
“Where’s the leader then?” Xinghe asked after she calmed down.
“Dead, he was killed with a shot to the head during the operation.”
“That means there’s no witness.”
Realization struck Munan. “That’s right, so you think this is a set up?”
“Most likely and it’s by Feng Saohuang.” Xinghe’s eyes narrowed. “The group’s internal security is very well done so the only person who can verify that list is the dead leader. In other words, suspicion about me won’t be cleared that easily.”
“F*ck!” Munan cursed angrily, “What is this Feng Saohuang up to? Why is he coming after you? I’m his competition, why didn’t he put my name?”
“That wouldn’t work,” Xinghe attempted a guess, “The leader has no idea about Saohuang’s identity as well. If he put in your name, the leader might get suspicious but a civilian’s name like mine won’t raise any eyebrows.”
“What’s the point of framing you?”
“I’m related to the Xi family.”
Munan was stunned. She was right. Xinghe was obviously related to the Xi family and she was in the military due to the Xi family’s influence. If something happened to her, the Xi family would be dragged down by it as well.
Now was a critical period, if something happened to Xi family, then he would lose the chance to become the leader of Flying Dragon Unit. Saohuang’s scheme hit two birds with one stone.
He could get rid of Xinghe and implicate the Xi family…
He operated all of this from the dark. Munan’s heart burned with fury thinking about how despicable this Feng Saohuang was. He was ready to rush into his camp to murder him!
Chapter 416: You’re Under Arrest
“Big Sister Xia, what should we do now? There are already people here to detain you, Yan Lu and the guys are trying their best to stall them!” Munan said anxiously. For various reasons, Munan still had great trust in Xinghe at a time like this. With her brilliance, she should definitely have a solution.
Xinghe shook her head. “I have no idea what to do either. I didn’t expect Saohuang would make such a big sacrifice to frame me.”
Indeed, Saohuang had made a giant sacrifice. He had made his comrade a sacrificial lamb just to frame them…
In a way, he sure did think a lot of them.
“You’re also at a loss? But we don’t come up with something soon, they’ll take you away. We cannot allow that to happen, who knows what will happen to you in custody,” Munan said worriedly.
Xinghe looked at him and said calmly, “Don’t only worry about me, you will also be in trouble. They’re coming after me to get to the Xi family. Even though your name was cleared last time, it is no guarantee that you will not get dragged into this mess again.”
Munan was not worried about that.
“Don’t worry, we can figure that out later. The key thing now is you, your name has appeared directly on the list, your suspicion will not be cleared so easily. It is our family who have dragged you into this mess, what if something happened to you, how could we sleep at night?”
Xinghe consoled him, “Don’t worry, this is not the end of the world. I’ll cooperate with them for now and we’ll try our best to clear the suspicion. Let’s not forget, we still have Mubai to rely on.”
Munan understood what she meant. He said happily, “That’s right, we can still rely on Big Brother. If he has found some information on his side then your name will be cleared. But… Big Brother has found nothing even though he has utilized so many of his assets. I’m afraid that when he does find something, it’ll already too late.”
“That’s the only choice we have. If all else fails, then…” Before Xinghe could finish, they saw a group of police walking her way. Yan Lu and the rest followed and they looked at her with concern in their eyes. The group eventually stopped before them.
The leading officer said authoritatively, “Xia Xinghe, you’re suspected to be involved in an international case of military munitions thefts. You’re under arrest, please follow us now.”
“Are you people deaf‽” Yan Lu scolded, “We’ve already told you, Miss Xia has spent the past few weeks in the military camp, she has not left the compound, so how can she be involved in this smuggling case? Miss Xia is also not in need of money, this is such an obvious set up!”
“That’s right. All of us can be her witness,” Gu Li added. The rest of the camp vouched for Xinghe as well but the leading officer ignored all of them.
“Your words will not change my mind! All we know is that Xia Xinghe’s name appeared on the list, that means she is a suspected criminal. Furthermore, she doesn’t need to leave the camp, she only needs to move her fingers. I hear that Xia Xinghe is very good with computers, right?”
Munan narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean by that?”
The officer replied coldly, “According to our investigation, this crime syndicate has been operating and committing their crimes through the use of internet.”
Chapter 417: Being Good Is also a Sin
“Their digital footprints have always been well taken care of, we believe Xia Xinghe is capable of doing that.”
After Xinghe heard that, she nodded. Gu Li and Yan Lu were confused by her gesture, but Munan understood it. Saohuang had considered everything when framing Xinghe. If Xinghe were just a normal civilian, leaving her name on the list would be nothing but things were different if she also happened to be good on computers…
Her suspicion would be even harder to explain. Furthermore, the Xi family was once suspected of the same crime and Xinghe was related to the Xi family. They implicated each other.
“Therefore, please follow us obediently, don’t force our hands,” the leading officer said coldly.
Munan argued, “Xinghe is innocent until proven guilty, you people can’t arrest her based on suspicion, we will get her a group of lawyers! Our Xi family will personally guarantee that she is innocent.”
The leading officer gave him a look that was equivalent to a shrug and said, “No matter what, she has to follow us.”
“Then, I’m going with her.”
“Perfect because we have some questions for you as well.”
That was how Munan was roped into the investigation.
Munan had no issue with that, he looked at Xinghe and said determinedly, “Come on, let’s go.”
Xinghe nodded and they left in the police car. The Xi family was highly efficient because when they arrived at the precinct, around ten lawyers were already there. Even Munan’s father, Jiangnian was there. Due to their presence, the police didn’t dare to do anything out of line against Xinghe but the interrogation had to go on.
Xinghe was fully cooperative, she answered everything the police asked. However, no matter how hard she argued for her innocence, even after she surrendered her personal computer to be scanned, it was no use. This was because she was too good, the police believed firmly that she could manipulate the internet without leaving a trace. Xinghe had no clue that, one day, her own ability would be her biggest downfall. Being good at what she did was also a sin!
“In other words, no matter what I say or what proof I provide, you people will not believe me?” Xinghe ask.
The interrogating officer asked in return, “Do you think we should believe?”
“You should, but I can only tell you, I’m being framed.”
“Who framed you? What’s the benefit of that?”
“Who knows,” Xinghe answered with a shrug. She couldn’t say Saohuang because that would add another charge to her name. In other words, she had to find a reason and proof that she had been framed before she could clear her name…
…
In the other room, Munan was also giving his statement. “Someone is definitely framing Xinghe. The person’s purpose should be to target our Xi family. Last time, I was framed the same way but the person’s plan ultimately failed so this time they tried to do the same to someone related to our Xi family because this will implicate our Xi family in the process.”
“Then, does Major Xi has any idea who would do something like that?” the police officer asked.
Like Xinghe, Munan knew who was doing all this but they couldn’t say.
“I will not say anything without proof, but it should be someone who has a bad history with our Xi family, that should be your line of investigation.”
Chapter 418: Paying Her Bail
After giving their statements, Munan was free to go but not Xinghe. Her suspicion was the biggest so the police wouldn’t let her go, she still had to endure multiple interrogations. The ten lawyers were by her side at all times, they would take turns representing her. Munan returned to his family to figure out a solution. It was not easy for the Xi family to shake off the earlier suspicion, being slapped with another so soon was making everyone more than a bit jumpy.
After thinking that his grandfather would sacrifice Xinghe, he said directly, “Grandfather, Saohuang is targeting us. Sister-in-law Xia is a complete innocent, we cannot leave her to fend for herself, we have to save her. Only after she’s safe we’ll be free from implication.”
Grandfather Xi looked at him and said authoritatively, “You cheeky lad, what kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I would sacrifice her to save our own hides?”
Munan quickly placated, “That’s not what I meant, grandfather. You’re the best and the most kind person, I know you will not leave sister-in-law hanging dry.”
“She’s still not your big brother’s wife, what kind of impression are you giving others by calling her sister-in-law left and right?”
Munan shrugged. “She’s the ex and soon-to-be, what’s the difference?”
“Mubai really cares for her. I’ve contacted him and he’ll be home soon,” Jiangsan said seriously.
Grandfather Xi harrumphed, “What’s the point of him coming back? He should have focused his energy on finding proof of that Feng’s criminality.”
“The organization is too powerful and mysterious, whoever gets too close is silenced if they’re not careful, therefore, progress has been slow.”
“I’m afraid we’ll crumble before they do if the progress continues at this speed,” Grandfather Xi’s face was drawn, “The fact that Feng boy dares to openly challenge us like this means that he has fully prepared. I suspect he has some kind of deal with the Lin family that we don’t know about.”
“Definitely! They must have ganged up on us,” Munan agreed.
Grandfather looked at him and said, “Munan, I fear that leadership position is not yours to have anymore.”
Munan’s eyes shook for a little bit. “What grandfather means is that the post will fall into Saohuang’s hands soon?”
Grandfather Xi nodded, “Most likely, the Lin family will help him get there as soon as possible. The only reason they’re helping him is to use him to get to us. Now that we’re implicated, the post will not be yours anymore… unless we distance ourselves from this mess fully and completely.”
“We cannot do that!” Munan quickly objected, “Grandfather, I would rather lose the position than have sister-in-law take the fall because of us! She’s in this mess because of us to begin with and she has helped us a lot, I cannot silence my conscience and be ungrateful.”
“Grandfather cannot either. Therefore, if we are to save her, you must be prepared to lose that post.”
“I’m ready to give it up,” Munan said directly, there was no reluctance in his tone. There was no objection from other people, they were all silent.
Grandfather Xi nodded and said, “Then good. Let’s focus on getting her out first.”
The Xi members answered in unison. “Yes!”
…
Even though the Xi family was implicated, their power and influence was still there. With their full intervention, Xinghe was finally given bail. Not only did the Xi family try their best to save her, even Gu Li and Yan Lu used every connection they had.
Xinghe was surprised that she received help from so many people. After all, Saohuang only came for her alone.
If they wanted to save themselves, they could have left her to die.
Chapter 419: Paid Bail
However, none of them did, they all stood on her side. They were not afraid of being implicated by her charges. If she wasn’t acquitted in the end, their reputation and future would go down with her. Xinghe was touched by their concern for her, they had given up many things to side with her.
Even the Xi family which was, in some ways, obligated to help her did more than that. They had more to lose by coming to her aid. They would be implicated and there were more losses in the future, like the Flying Dragon Unit’s leadership post…
This post was instrumental to the Xi family’s future. With Munan sitting at that position, their glory would be extended for at least a few more decades. A few more decades of glory… even an idiot would know to choose that, much less the Xi family who got where they were through a bloody history. They had a lot more to lose if they chose to help her. Glory was built upon blood and sacrifices, which was why each opportunity had to be treasured. Alas, for her sake, they had given up on an opportunity so important.
Things would be a lot easier for them if they just distanced themselves from Xinghe. However, that easy route was not the route they chose. Instead, they walked on this path that could cause their own destruction. This was not only because of their kind-heartedness but importance that they had placed in her, which was why when Xinghe was given bail, she swore to help the Xi family unconditionally in the future should any trouble befall the family!
…
Before being given bail, Xinghe and Munan were pulled into one last interrogation. After the thing was over, both of them walked out of the station together. Munan saw Xinghe’s pale face and asked with concern, “Big Sister Xia, are you alright? Did they do anything to hurt you?”
Ever since she was arrested, Xinghe spent two full days in interrogation, there was no time for her to even rest. She shook her head. “I’m fine, just a little tired.”
“Then, let’s go back now, everyone’s waiting for you.”
Xinghe turned to look at him and nodded. Just as the two of them prepared to leave, a military Hummer suddenly stopped in front of them. The door opened and Saohuang in a military coat stepped out from it.
He turned to them and asked with a villainous smile, “Major Xi, I heard something happened to you so I purposely came to pay you visit, are you alright?”
Of course, Xinghe and Munan weren’t naïve enough to think he was being sincere. It was obvious he was there to gloat. Munan’s hatred flared up looking at Saohuang in person.
He laughed. “Thanks for your concern, I’m still alive, but the person who did this to us won’t be for long!”
Saohuang naturally knew he was talking about him. He chuckled. “Is that so? Might I ask who Major Xi think that person is?”
Munan took a step forward, suppressed his voice and issued threateningly, “I believe we all know who that person is!”
“Well, do tell.”
“Don’t act dumb, Feng Saohuang, this is not over, you just wait and see!”
Shrugging off his threat, Saohuang’s smile disappeared as he said, “I can wait just fine but I’m not sure you can say the same thing.”
