As the saying goes, ‘one wave rises before the next’ refers to the current situation of the Federation…
Before the post of ‘child thief in the middle of the night’ was completely resolved, another piece of bad news struck them hard on the head, causing them to be stunned…
According to the information that came from the tip, the district leaders in charge of a large area with District 9 as the boundary had all defected to Ning Yiyuan’s side!
In this way, the originally complete Federation continent might very well be divided into two regions…
When they first heard this news, the higher-ups of the Federation did not believe it at all, alright?
Hehe! How ridiculous! Was Ning Yiyuan that influential? How could he make the heads of Districts 9,10, 11, and 12 openly declare war against the Federation? How was that possible?
However, the truth was always so unexpected!
In the news that followed, more and more evidence proved this point!
These four districts had indeed shown signs of breaking away from the Federation, and their instigator was, without a doubt, Ning Yiyuan.
This time, the higher-ups of the Federation immediately panicked.
It was only now that they realized that their actions this time were truly too rash!
Not only did they fail to obtain Little Chu’s child, they were even caught with evidence. More importantly, their actions this time had thoroughly angered Ning Yiyuan. Otherwise, he would not have acted so intensely!
As for Ning Yiyuan’s connections and strength, they had a new understanding of him… To be able to achieve such a feat in such a short period of time, it was truly difficult for them to hide their fear!
…
“… Just how did you guys do things? How did you guys end up like this?”
If the Federation was really split into two because of this, people would laugh at them to death!
The person sitting in the upper echelon slammed the table, his face filled with anger! After all, this matter involved a lot of people, so it naturally alarmed the person at the top.
When he flew into a rage, the people below did not dare to speak. They were like quails, with their heads lowered and their mouths tightly shut.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the Chief could not help but sigh and wave his hand, “Forget it, we’ll talk about this matter later. Right now, the most important thing is to deal with the problem on Ning Yiyuan’s side.”
To be honest, even the head couldn’t help but feel a little regretful now. Why did he sign the agreement with Wisdom Cloud Galaxy in the first place? Otherwise, he would not be in this state today!
“Tell me, what do you all think?”
“…” The response was silence.
In fact, Ning Yiyuan’s attitude was already very clear.
Whether it was the posts that had been hyped up on the internet, or the defection of the four districts, he definitely had something to do with it. It was probably too late to try and win back Ning Yiyuan’s heart now!
Since that was the case, what else did they have to say?
“Elder Chen, you’re the person in charge of this matter.” Since no one spoke up, the Chief directly called out his name. “What do you think?”
Hearing this, Elder Chen cursed in his heart!
Everyone was helpless. What was the use of calling him out? Moreover, this matter was originally unethical for them. Now, they still wanted to beg Ning Yiyuan to take a step back. How could it be easy?
“What? You, as the person in charge of this matter, can’t even say a few words?” The Chief’s expression darkened slightly as he sneered. “If that’s really your attitude, then it’s no wonder that you guys managed to do this!”
“I’ll ask again, do you have any ideas?” The Chief raised his eyes slightly and looked at Elder Chen coldly, “If not, from today on, you can go home and have a good rest!”
As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone present could not help but change!
What he meant was… To temporarily leave Elder Chen’s work and let him go back?
The people present were all old foxes, and they were all slippery. Naturally, they understood the underlying meaning behind his words in an instant.
Not to mention Elder Chen. He had lived for so many years, how could he not understand the hidden meaning behind his words?! His face instantly darkened, and the muscles on his face faintly twitched. He had never expected that after so many years of respectful service to the Federation, he would receive such an outcome in the end?!
“… I can’t think of anything!” In any case, he would just do what he had to do!
“Heh! You can’t think of anything?” Looking at Elder Chen’s ‘uncooperative’ attitude, the anger in the eyes of the first-in-command intensified, and his tone suddenly turned cold. “Then there’s no need for you to attend this meeting. Just go home and rest!”
Hearing this, Elder Chen’s face turned completely black. It was as black as ink!
Being humiliated in front of so many people… What reason did he have to stay here?
He stood up with a swoosh!
Elder Chen said in a trembling voice, “… fine, I’ll go!”
After saying that, he pushed the chair away and walked out, but his slightly aged body was still straight…
When the door slammed shut, the conference room returned to its tense silence..
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions turning solemn… they had never thought that this matter would be so serious! They had even gotten Elder Chen involved first!
“Alright, next, Chief Deputy! Get up and tell us what you think!” The Chief continued to call out names, causing everyone’s hearts to be gripped tightly once again… Wow! This stance was too scary!
Could it be that this Deputy-in-charge was also going to end up like Elder Chen?
“That… I, I do have a few ideas…”
The Chief Deputy had already been scared out of his wits by the scene just now. Now that he was asked, he immediately replied.
“Alright. Since that’s the case, then you should tell us!”
“Yes!” The Chief Deputy wiped the sweat off his forehead, and the anxiety in his heart finally calmed down a little. “First of all, can we talk to Commander Ning… No! Ning Yiyuan! If we can talk to Ning Yiyuan, then we’ll try our best to talk to him. It’s best if we don’t use force. If Ning Yiyuan can’t give us an opening, we might as well use our brains on Elder Ning and Mo Chu. After all, their attitude is enough to influence Ning Yiyuan’s future actions and thoughts!”
After finishing his words in one breath, the Chief Deputy steeled himself. Only then did he raise his eyes to look at the person in charge.
“That’s right.”
The other party’s simple words made him relax his entire body… Damn it! They had finally successfully passed this hurdle…
“Then how about this, we split up into three groups for this matter.” The person in charge finally made the final decision. “I’ll personally negotiate with Ning Yiyuan. After that, I’ll send two people to talk to Mo Chu and Elder Ning. We must keep this matter under control!”
If the Federation was really split into two by him, he would become a sinner for all eternity, right?
“Yes.” Although everyone agreed, they did not think much of it in their hearts…
To be honest, what they had done before was too cruel. They had almost pushed him to the end. If they reached out to pull him back now, did they think that he would appreciate it?
Obviously, it was impossible!
Therefore, when the leader came to the Ning family’s old mansion, he suddenly realized that things were not going as smoothly as he had thought.
“Commander Ning, the people below have indeed gone too far this time.” The Chief sat on the sofa and took the initiative to speak with an apologetic look, “Don’t worry, I’ve already punished them. I won’t let them off easily! Then, do you think this post online is…”
“I’m sorry,” Ning Yiyuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly and pretended to be stupid. “Post? What post? Does it have anything to do with me?”
Hearing this, the expression on the Chief’s face froze… What kind of situation was this? Why was Ning Yiyuan still pretending to be dumb?
Taking a deep breath, the Chief straightened his expression and continued, his voice full of piety and righteousness. “I admit that we were wrong before. We shouldn’t have sacrificed all of you in exchange for the benefits of the Federation.”
“But Ning Yiyuan, you should also put the overall situation first. How can you sow discord between the four regions and the Federation? You’ve been a soldier for so many years. Don’t you understand this point? Only when our Federation is unified and complete can we go further!”
Ning Yiyuan sat quietly on the sofa. After he finished his long speech, he said indifferently, “Are… you done?”
Crack —
The smile on the Chief’s face broke in an instant!
Ning Yiyuan’s words had blocked all his other drafts in his stomach. He could not say a word… The anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Did this guy think too highly of himself? He actually dared to talk to him like that?
Seeing the anger hidden in the Chief’s eyes, Ning Yiyuan chuckled and asked indifferently, “If my child had been stolen, would you still be here today?”
Hearing this, he was instantly dumbfounded!
He could not answer for a long time.
Ning Yiyuan, who was opposite him, had a look of understanding and ridicule on his face.
