Chapter 878: Chapter 853:
Puchi…
Kong Haoran spat out a mouthful of blood. It was anger that made him this way. After spitting out the blood, he felt much better in his chest. He looked at Yun Qi with gritted teeth and said, “Bitch, if it wasn’t for you egging me on, how would I have ended up poisoning and killing someone?”
“Hmph! Don’t you slander me!” Yun Qi snorted coldly and said, “How would a man like you be swayed by a weak woman like me? Why would I egg you on? Besides, even if I did, you’re the one who killed the person! And, the assistant saw it all!”
“That’s right, I saw it!” The assistant’s face was pale. He clutched his neck and said with difficulty, “I saw with my own eyes him putting poison in the Squad Leader’s teacup!”
“Well then, Kong Haoran, who would have thought it was really you who killed the Squad Leader!” Even Kong Haoran’s confidant betrayed him at this moment, standing on the other side, and angrily glaring at Ye Chen, saying, “The Squad Leader treated you like family, yet you sent him to see the Heavenly Gods! You really are a vicious dog!”
“Bullshit! I didn’t, I didn’t!” Kong Haoran retreated in panic.
The two senior officers had already taken out their pistols from their pockets, slowly approaching Kong Haoran. Kong Haoran was flustered, trying hard to calm himself down, and then slowly moved backward, explaining as he retreated, “Listen to me, the two of you, I really didn’t kill the Squad Leader!”
“But, you’ve just admitted!” One of them decisively loaded the bullet into the chamber. With just a light pull of the trigger, Kong Haoran’s life would end. Kong Haoran immediately shook his head and frantically said, “No, I just misspoke. I could never have killed the Squad Leader. The Squad Leader was cautious and strong. How could I possibly poison him?”
The two officers felt there was some truth to what Kong Haoran said, so they hesitated. But in just that moment of hesitation, Kong Haoran dove into a silver-gray car beside him. He quickly started it and fled frantically. In that instant, the two officers reacted.
Bang, bang…
A series of shots hit the car’s body, creating bullet holes but were blocked by the car’s internal crash beams. Kong Haoran almost floored the accelerator. The car sped off madly, the tires rubbing against the ground and producing thick black smoke, forcing several people to step back.
“Oh, damn it, he just got away like that!” The assistant beside him gritted his teeth and said.
“Let it go, just let him run!” One of the officers waved his hand, seeming not to care at all.
“Then… what do you plan to do?” The other officer turned his head to look at him and said, “I don’t plan to stick with the Doomsday Family. I plan to go to Somalia and make a living there. Get a way out for the brothers!”
“Hmm, it’s a good idea!” The man nodded and then, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, said, “I also plan to take the brothers to Africa, establish a mercenary group there, take on some mercenary tasks, and maybe even establish some influence.”
“It’s also a good idea!” The two talked amiably together.
“What about me?!” Yun Qi looked at the two with charm.
The two exchanged a glance, then smiled. They walked over, each embracing Yun Qi from one side, laughing, “Make us comfortable, and we’ll give you a future of wealth and prosperity, how about that?”
“Oh, you two rascals, can you even handle it?!” Yun Qi flashed a charming smile, igniting the fire of desire within the two. They quickly dragged Yun Qi forward, planning to find a hotel, book a room, and enjoy a wild time.
Yun Qi’s surface smile concealed deep inner turmoil and distress. Yun Qi was plagued by a feeling of pain, akin to being pricked by needles. From the first man until now, Yun Qi couldn’t tell how many men had rolled over her belly, nor could she remember how many men’s parts entered her body.
Yun Qi did not think of herself as cheap; she just believed that, as a woman, she sought only a sense of security. For this bit of security, she was willing to do things against her conscience. Like a moment ago, she actually still had feelings for Kong Haoran, but to survive, for wealth and prosperity, to find a safe harbor, she had to do things that went against her will.
…
Over in Canada, the construction of a city was kicking up waves. The Luo Sijue family’s most outstanding designer made a full effort, with a team of over a hundred designers flying out from the Luo Sijue family to Canada and landing in Ottawa. Over a hundred people took two buses to a town that was almost in ruins, with the original residents temporarily relocated. Next, the designers would start planning, followed by shooting large amounts of construction…
This is a huge project, relying solely on the funds gathered from the Doomsday Family headquarters is far from enough to support the entire project. So, the Luo Sijue family personally allocated over a billion US Dollars into this project. Of course, the happiest of all in this project was the Government of Canada.
Such a massive amount of funds entering the country and kick-starting a grand project, all the construction projects were subcontracted to local Canadian construction teams. Of course, Ye Chen’s main reason for doing this was to appease the Government of Canada, as occupying land in their domain certainly called for giving them some benefits.
However, this project left the Government of Canada both happy and anxious. Ye Chen’s power was too formidable, and the government had no confidence in dealing with Ye Chen. They were even more afraid of Ye Chen’s secret retaliation. The Doomsday Family alone was already giving the government a headache. If they accidentally provoked Ye Chen, they would have an even harder time dealing with the Luo Sijue family’s furious revenge. So, they could only let the Luo Sijue family operate within the circumscribed territory that spanned over a hundred square kilometers. Here, a small city could be built. The entire Leisure City only covered over twenty square kilometers, so owning this land over a hundred square kilometers was worthy of celebration for the Luo Sijue family.
In this way, Leisure City could be split into two, with a Main City and a sub-city.
The grand project began, and as the project started, the Luo Sijue family’s internal economy also began to move wildly. Tens of billions, even up to a hundred billion in funds were being mobilized, drawing attention from certain countries, particularly the United States.
Obama knew of Ye Chen’s actions in Canada, but what he didn’t anticipate was Ye Chen’s assault on the Church Court that ended up only fattening himself up. Obama convened a meeting overnight to find a way to balance the Luo Sijue family, knowing that letting them develop unchecked was out of the question. But how to balance them was a very tricky issue. Obama planned to gather everyone to come up with a plan.
A group of people gathered together, and a US three-star admiral snorted coldly: “What can be done, when we gave the enemy weapons to develop, in the end, the enemy will use the weapons we gave them against us!”
“Admiral Henry, what do you mean by this?” A nearby senator looked at him coldly.
“Don’t you understand what I mean?” Henry smiled faintly, saying, “From the beginning, I believed we shouldn’t cooperate with Ye Chen but should strike against him, especially Ye Chen, he’s cunning and full of tricks.”
“No, Mr. Henry, discussing this now is meaningless. For us, we should devise a way to resolve the issue rather than create conflicts, okay?” Obama maintained his politeness but was extremely solemn, leaving others feeling infuriated without really being able to get mad.
“Alright!” Henry nodded, then leaned back in his chair to smoke while other senators brainstormed solutions, offering ideas to Obama. Obama kept frowning; he hadn’t relaxed his brows since he entered the room. He was carefully considering whether balancing Ye Chen was a good policy because if they accidentally offended Ye Chen, the tables could turn dramatically. Although America’s military strength shouldn’t fear Ye Chen, stepping into this mess was unwise.
Faced with increasingly bizarre suggestions, Obama could only listen, with no mood to refute them. These suggestions seemed hastily made without considering future troubles. When the appropriate moment came, Obama finally spoke: “Enough, I’ve decided to focus on Ye Chen. As Ye Chen is the Clan Leader of the Luo Sijue family, changing his mind could change the family’s mindset.”
“Then… Mr. President, what do you plan to do?” everyone asked in unison.
“I plan to make further contact with Ye Chen to see what he’s actually trying to accomplish, and then find a way to change his mindset!” Obama glanced at everyone and said, “Of course, I hope you’ll be able to assist me in implementing this plan in the upcoming steps!”
“That’s certainly not an issue!” everyone nodded.
“Mr. President, we will give full support to any matter benefiting the United States!” Admiral Henry immediately smiled and said.
…
In Shanghai, a small aircraft took off from Shanghai Airport, slicing through the sky. It was an ordinary day, but for Zhao Zimo, it was an extraordinary one. Because today she met Ye Chen again. Since the last time she saw Ye Chen in the Clan Leader’s attire, she saw him again, and this time, she was extremely happy, even more excited. She hovered around Ye Chen, excited like a happy bird.
“Ye Clan Leader, would you like some coffee?” Zhao Zimo made every effort to ingratiate herself with Ye Chen. However, Ye Chen pretended to sleep and shook his head, saying, “Oh, no, I’ve had three cups already, any more would be too much!”
