Bai Town was an unremarkable small city located near the prosperous Jing Capital.
In one of the simple villages, a man in white sat on a big rock beside a small bridge.
At this moment, he was half-lying on a rock, watching the sunset.
A young woman ran over from afar. She ran to the man’s side and held her knees while panting heavily.
“Ah! Whoosh! I’m so tired. Brother Bai, you’re running around again. Why did you run so far? My mother asked me to call you back for dinner.”
The man in white pointed at the sunset and said,”Look, the sun is about to
set.’”‘
The girl was a little confused, but her eyes were filled with admiration and longing when she looked at the white-robed man.
This man had been here for a month. He would occasionally go out, but most of the time, he stayed in the village. He was very gentle to everyone. In the girl’s heart, he was the second sun in the sky.
“Doesn’t the sun set and rise every day?”
The white-robed man had no intention of getting up to eat with the girl. Instead, he was completely lying on the rock.
He patted the stone under him and said,”Xiaohui, come up!””
The girl named Xiaohui blushed and climbed up the rock to lie beside the white-robed man.
“Big Brother Bai, my mother is still waiting for us to go back for dinner.”
The man in white did not answer. He stared at the sunset like he was looking at the thing he yearned for the most.
Xiaohui didn’t have the heart to disturb him, so she could only watch quietly from the side.
After a long time, there was no longer a trace of afterglow in the sky.
“Xiaohui, have you ever thought about it?” the white-robed man asked softly.
One day, the sun would rise differently because of him.”
Xiaohui didn’t understand and could only shake her head.
The man in white propped himself up with his arms and turned to look at Xiaohui.
The man in white was Bai Fan, who had been missing for more than a month!
Bai Fan smiled and was about to speak when his phone rang. It was a text message.
He took it out to take a look and exhaled.
“It’s over!” “What’s over?” Xiaohui asked.”
“It’s starting!”
“Hmm?” Xiaohui was completely confused. What was Brother Bai saying? It ended and started again.
“I told you, this day has come!”
“Big Brother Bai, what are you talking about?”
“I have to go!”
“Where are we going? Aren’t you going home for dinner?”
“No, I want to leave the village!”
“Are you coming back?”
“From tomorrow onwards, I will transform into a disaster. Wherever I pass by, all lives will be in misery. You’d better pray…l don’t want to come back!”
Shun City, within the City Lord’s Mansion.
A person was kneeling in the courtyard. It seemed that he had been kneeling for a long time.
“Old City Lord! Come out and see me, I have something to say!”
The guard beside him could not bear to see this and advised, “Captain Ye! Why bother? The City Lord had already given the order and would not take it back.” Qingfeng Ye had been kneeling here for an hour just to see Qiming Qiu.
An hour ago, he received a direct order from the City Lord’s Mansion to lock down the entire city. No one was allowed to leave. Those who violated it would be killed!
The meaning of this order was obvious. No one in the city should leave the city and wait for something big to happen.
Qingfeng Ye’s father was saved by Qiu Qiming in the war, so he swore to be loyal to him for generations.
If Qingfeng Ye listened to this order today, it would be against the justice in his heart. If he didn’t listen, he would be disloyal and unfilial.
‘ Old City Lord!”
“Captain Ye, stop shouting. If you don’t want to do it, just rest. Someone will take over your job.”
The guards had been guarding the City Lord’s Mansion for more than ten years. They knew that the current Old City Lord had changed. He had become ruthless and could do anything.
If it wasn’t for the fear that executing Qingfeng Ye would shake the morale of the Shun City Army, Qingfeng Ye would have died long ago.
But Qingfeng Ye didn’t think so. The Old City Lord had sacrificed his entire life for Shun City. If he wanted to seal the entire city, even if there was no follow-up action, it would still cause negative effects.
‘ Old City Lord!”
‘ Don’t shout!”
The voice did not belong to the guard. Qingfeng Ye could tell that it was the old city lord’s voice. Although he had not seen the old city lord for many years, this voice was definitely the same!
“Old City Lord, you’re finally out! Quickly order the army to withdraw!” Qiming Qiu sat in a wheelchair and was pushed to Qingfeng Ye. “You don’t want to do it? Is this the promise you swore to be loyal to?”
Qingfeng Ye was silent, not knowing how to answer this question.
Faced with the Old City Lord’s interrogation, his face turned red and he finally said,””lt’s not that I’m unwilling to do it, but I can’t do it!”
Qiu Qiming waved his hand and said,” Drag him away and find someone to replace him. Remember, don’t let anyone leave Shun City!””
“Yes, sir!”
After receiving the order, one of the people beside him immediately went to make arrangements.
The guard asked, “Then…” What about Captain Ye?”
“Put him in jail, when the matter is over, when he will be released!”
Qingfeng Ye couldn’t believe what the Old City Lord had said. He shouted desperately, ‘”‘No! Have you forgotten what is the most important thing in your life? It was this Shun City! You gave up your fame for him and even lost your son. What are you doing now?”
Qiu Qiming clenched his fists and watched Qingfeng Ye being dragged away.
In the Zhou Residence of Shun City, Zhou Xian spent most of his time sleeping as usual.
When she woke up, she saw the butler standing by the bed.
“Damn, you… What are you standing there for? Didn’t I say not to disturb me when I’m sleeping?
The butler handed the phone to Zhou Xianri and said, “”l’m not disturbing you.
Aren’t I waiting for you to wake up?”
Zhou Xianri casually took the phone and asked,””What is it?”
“Young Master sent a message from Beijing an hour ago!”
“Oh? Since that was the case, why aren’t you making arrangements? What are you doing by my bed?!”
The butler nodded and left the room. Zhou Xianri lay back on the bed. After being bored for so many years, something interesting is finally going to happen.”
October 5th, 15:00 pm.
Yong Ci Group was seized by the law enforcement team. When the law enforcement team rushed into the company, there was no one in the entire building. It was a completely empty building.
At the same time, more than 20 companies were seized. The situation was the same as that of the Eternal Compassion Corporation. The law enforcement team returned empty-handed!
MO Xin Building was one of the tallest buildings in Beijing. Zhou Qiuwu, who no one could find, was sitting on the roof and looking down.
He was silent and looked at the scenery below very carefully.
It was as if he had to remember every detail. Under the moonlight, he looked a little desolate.
MO Xiu rode Lil ‘Fu to an altitude of nine thousand meters. He circled around but found nothing. The Demon Falcon was still not here. It seemed that he had guessed correctly.
Little Fushun turned around and looked at MO Xiu, asking if he wanted to go back.
MO Xiu patted Little Fu Shun’s head and said,””Go around again. Just take it as a
ride.”
This was the last calm before the storm!
After walking around once more, MO Xiu drove straight to Yan University and arrived at Cao Fenglin’s office.
When the door was pushed open, the four people sitting inside saw MO Xiu enter and stood up nervously.
“How is it?” Cao Fenglin asked.”
“The chess pieces needed to break the situation have been placed. Now, we’re just waiting to be the vanguard. Let’s go!”
There was no perfect setup, only a perfect breaker.
Moxiu still didn’t know who was playing against him on this vast chessboard..
