The body was soaked in blood, and the red became even brighter, just like a scene from an 18+ crime movie.

Wei Yi had a blank expression on his face. He raised his hand and returned the revolver with the empty magazine.

Du Enqin took it and handed it to his men.

"Do you have any comments? I don't mind being a listener for once."

Du Enqin teased.

"Back then, those siblings had you trapped in a corner. Now... you should feel relieved, right? Are you feeling better?"

There is no concealment at all.

  Have you forgotten what your job is?

How can it look like a restaurant at all?

"Should I say thank you?"

Wei Yi looked at Wei Hong's body and felt very surprised. He didn't feel any pleasure of revenge.

"No need to thank me, just be nice to me in the future and I'll be satisfied."

As he spoke, Du Enqin waved his hand.

Seeing this, one of his men stepped forward, stepped onto a stool, and cut the rope tied to the beam with a dagger.

Losing traction, the body slid down and landed in a pool of blood.

No one was asked to answer the phone.

Total disrespect for the deceased.

  Aren’t you afraid that he will turn into a ghost and come back for revenge?

However, these things like ghosts and monsters can only scare kind-hearted people. Which of these people in the mud-brick house at this moment is not a living evil ghost?

"Will you deal with the body or should I?"

Du Enqin asked leisurely.

Wei Yi looked at her speechlessly.

People are dead.

  What else is the use of corpses?

Perverted?

"Then I'll take care of it."

Du Enqin smiled sympathetically and said, "If the news leaks out accidentally, you will be in trouble. After all, General Jin is making peace with the government now."

Wei Yi became even more silent.

Du Enqin's men have already started to deal with the scene and brought a huge sack.

"When did you know that?"

Wei Yi watched them pack the corpse.

  So what if you are so glorious and prominent?

After death, it's just a pool of rotten meat.

"what do you know?"

Du Enqin looked puzzled.

"Negotiations between the Allied Forces and the government."

Wei Yi got straight to the point.

"Oh."

Du Enqin suddenly realized and also looked at the scene of the body being bagged. "Isn't that what I just heard?"

Very low level of pretending to be stupid.

Or it's very perfunctory.

Du Enqin looked at him and said, "Adjutant Wei, this is such a big thing, don't you know about it?"

Whether you knew it before or not, it no longer matters.

Anyway, now I know.

There is no way to avoid it.

Wei Hong exposed it with great fanfare, leaving no room for evasion.

"What do you think?"

Du Enqin continued to ask, looking normal, as if it was just concern and casual chat between friends.

If shared among tens of thousands of people, no matter how great the hatred is, there will be little left.

The allied forces and the government shaking hands and making peace may seem incredible, but it is actually reasonable.

The struggle between forces has no cause and effect, it is only driven by interests.

But for Wei Yi, the situation is somewhat different.

No matter how high his position is, he is essentially just an employee. He used to fight for his company and spare no effort, causing competitors to grit their teeth and suffer heavy losses. Now suddenly the two companies are going to carry out strategic cooperation.

From a broad perspective, turning hostility into friendship is definitely a good thing and will benefit both companies, but how embarrassed is he?

Ok.

Even if the previous grudges could be forgiven and written off, Wei Hong is dead now.

This is intended to destroy unity.

Thinking about it this way...

  Also asked him what he thought?

Is this female owner of the Peace Hotel really helping him?

Wei Hong's body had been put into a sack, and two men were carrying it out head to tail. As for where it was going, whether it would be buried on the spot, cremated, or sent to some other place, it was unknown.

But the meaning of her death is definitely not that simple.

The weight of each person is different.

"Don't you have any psychological burden at all?"

As Wei Hong's body was carried away, the men around him spontaneously withdrew, leaving only two big men.

Wei Yi suddenly asked.

"burden?"

Du Enqin was puzzled and curious.

"A fence-sitter will never be truly trusted."

Wei Yi continued, his face as calm as a lake.

Du Enqin frowned slightly. Even for her, it took her a while to figure it out.

She sneered, "I say, how can you be so ruthless? I just helped you get your revenge, and now you turn around and scold me. How can I be a fence-sitter?"

Wei Yi said nothing.

Du Enqin sighed softly, "No matter how you think of me in your heart, I will not accept the title of fence-sitter. You, Adjutant Wei, are not the only one in this world who knows how to be grateful."

She paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "But I'm not as lucky as you. I've always been the one who was abandoned. I feel like I'm just a rootless duckweed, I can only go with the flow, not a fence-sitter. I don't have any other requests, I just want to survive."

This can be regarded as heartfelt.

Wei Yi remained silent.

"hehe."

Du Enqin suddenly smiled, "Sorry, I was wrong. You don't seem to be that lucky either. Adjutant Wei, you and I really share the same suffering. You were driven out of the Wei family and hunted down by the Wei siblings. Now, it seems that you have become the one who has to be sacrificed for the overall situation... Alas, you are still better than me, at least more glorious than me."

Kill people and kill your heart.

Wei Yi's expression remained unchanged. "It may just be a rumor. Before it is officially announced, everything is subject to change."

Du Enqin sneered and looked at him meaningfully, "Adjutant Wei, why didn't I realize that you are so cute before?"

The corners of her mouth curled up. "Do you really believe in the so-called 'variables' in your heart? I don't think so. If you really believe it, why haven't you gone to see General Jin yet? Now that reports about your abuse of power and reckless behavior are flying to General Jin like snowflakes, shouldn't you go back and explain? And you have to report the progress of your investigation, right?"

Du Enqin was calm and composed, as if she could see through people's hearts. "You are afraid that you will never be able to get out after meeting General Jin. Adjutant Wei, you are not a fence-sitter, so have you gained the trust you deserve?"

"Besides, you seem to have lost your ability to trust others, right?"

Sometimes the power of words is more lethal than knives and guns.

"If you want to survive, you don't need to say too much."

The taciturn Wei Yi looked at the other party, seemingly giving a reminder.

Du Enqin didn't care, she smiled easily and said playfully: "Isn't it because I'm familiar with you?"

Done.

She extended her hand formally, "We should be real friends from now on, right?"

Wei Yi glanced at her, still unsure of the situation. He ignored the fact that her hands were filled with who knows how many different flavors. There was definitely more than one kind of rice aroma.

Wei Yi turned and walked out.

  Du Enqin's smile disappeared, and she turned around and stopped pretending to call him Adjutant Wei.

"Wei, stop right there!" Wei Yi ignored him and kept walking.

Du Enqin was also sensible. Unlike a little fairy, she didn't throw a tantrum and immediately ran after him. However, it was not very convenient because of the tightness of her cheongsam.

"I'm not driving, wait for me!"

"Om..."

Even though she hurried, Du Enqin was still a step late when she went out. She saw Wei Yi's jeep driving away, emitting black exhaust smoke.

"Son of a bitch."

Du Enqin finally couldn't bear it anymore, but not long after, she laughed inexplicably again.

  Where else can you run to?

Whether we like it or not, we are all tied to the same rope from now on.

Standing at the door of the mud-brick house, breathing the fresh air blowing from the ridge of the field, Du Enqin calmly picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Mr. Jiang, it's over. Wei Hong is dead."

"Who did it?"

There were no surprises for someone over there.

There is no need for those in a high position to do everything themselves. They should stay behind the scenes, control the overall situation and make things happen.

"Of course it's Wei Yi. He looks like a rock on the surface, but his brain is still working well. And he couldn't have failed to notice the change in Lord Jin's attitude towards him and the step-by-step suppression. Once Lord Jin reaches a settlement with the government, he will surely die, and he won't even have the chance to retire. He should see it clearly, and he has no choice."

Du Enqin sighed and looked in the direction the jeep left. "He should be smiling happily now."

"Will you be happy if you are forced to do something stupid?"

Du Enqin also laughed.

"Mr. Jiang, are you bullying me because I haven't read the Four Great Classical Novels? If someone did this to me, brought my enemy to me, and gave me the opportunity to take revenge with my own hands, I would definitely be loyal to him. He is not going up to Liangshan, he is clearly going down."

It seems that the female owner of the Peace Hotel has read a lot of books, at least she is quite knowledgeable about Water Margin.

"Thank you for your hard work. Given his personality, I believe he will not forget your kindness."

"I hope so. Then I won't bother Mr. Jiang anymore."

call ended.

Du Enqin put down her phone. She could no longer see any trace of the jeep at the end of her field of vision. With no one else around, she let out a sigh of relief.

It's no joke to say that I share the same suffering as Wei Yi.

Like Wei Yi, she has always been a pawn and a tool, unable to control her own destiny.

of course.

This is the fate of people like them.

I just hope that this time, I won’t be abandoned again.

Driving inside a jeep along a narrow country road.

Wei Yi, who had avenged his great hatred, did not laugh heartily. He held the steering wheel with both hands, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After turning out of the village, he did not choose to go south back to Kaluzi to continue waiting for Mr. Jiang, but turned the steering wheel east and left Kaluzi.

"Adjutant Wei."

While driving with one hand, Wei Yi picked up the mobile phone with his right hand and called his general Bao Can.

"Are there any new instructions from the general?"

"No, it's still the same. I'm urging Adjutant Wei to go back."

Bao Shen said, "Adjutant Wei, I heard that there are countless accusations against us now, saying that we are doing evil, destroying unity, and trampling on discipline... But aren't we here to find out the truth and catch the murderer as soon as possible? These people are incompetent and are causing trouble. Why didn't anyone say anything when the general was selecting people to handle the case? It was Adjutant Wei who stepped forward. Now that we have finally found some progress, they are jumping out to make comments again."

Bao Can's tone sounded as if he wanted to kill them.

"Did Cheng Xiangrong explain?"

Wei Yi spoke calmly and ignored his subordinates' complaints.

"He confessed. His bones aren't that hard after all, but I doubt he's just biting his tongue. Adjutant Wei, are there problems with so many people?"

There are some things you don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

I moved the stone where a cockroach was hiding and found that there were cockroaches underneath.

D.

With so many people involved, Bao Can didn't dare to act on his own.

The best or even the only way right now is to report to General Jin and let the general make the decision.

"Adjutant Wei, how about I take Cheng Xiangrong to see General Jin?"

Bao Can whispered that although he was a bit cruel, he was indeed loyal and brave.

Because he led his troops to attack the local administrative departments and violently detained local officials, Wei Yi is currently being impeached one after another. Under such circumstances, it is unknown what will happen if Adjutant Wei returns to report to General Jin in person.

If he takes it instead, he can avoid some of the risks.

"I am the person in charge. What role will you play?"

Wei Yi rejected his proposal.

Bao Shen fell silent.

"The best response to doubts is to thoroughly investigate the truth. We cannot give up halfway. Now is not the time to report to the general. Once the truth is found, I will personally apologize to the general."

Bao Shen did not question it. "Adjutant Wei, what should we do next?"

"According to Cheng Xiangrong's confession, arrest all the people he mentioned."

Wei Yi's answer was straightforward and simple, but it gave Bao Can a sudden shock.

Although he is domineering, he is not really unaware of his limits.

It's okay to catch one, but to deal with so many people at once...

"Adjutant Wei, after Cheng Xiangrong was captured by us, many people began to be alert, and there are reports that nearby local administrative units have begun to strengthen their security forces..."

All are not fools.

It is impossible to sit still and wait for death.

The arrest of Cheng Xiangrong did serve as a warning to others, and everyone was worried about becoming the next victim.

Under the instigation of invisible public opinion, or perhaps it could be said that Wei Yi's actions were indeed a bit excessive, a large number of people within the Allied Forces felt that he was taking advantage of the situation and was trying to eliminate dissidents under the pretext of investigating the case.

Catching Cheng Xiangrong was a surprise attack, but it would not be so easy to do the same to him again.

It's not that it can't be done, but it's definitely impossible to do it without bleeding.

And once an armed conflict really breaks out.

  Wouldn't that be tantamount to starting a civil war?

This crime is so serious that no one can bear it.

"Our only task now is to investigate the terrorist attack thoroughly. This is the only way to respond to those rumors."

Wei Yi insisted on his own way, or it could be said that he was in a difficult situation.

"But if there is resistance..."

"Anyone who resists will be considered an accomplice."

Bao Shen felt chilled.

He opened his mouth, but in the end didn't say much.

This was an order given by Adjutant Wei. How could Adjutant Wei not understand the consequences of this order?

"If you have any opinions, you can raise them."

"I have no opinion."

Bao Can said in a deep and gloomy voice, "I will always follow Adjutant Wei's footsteps."

After a pause, he said gloomily, "But if this is the case, I think we need more manpower."

"Reinforcements are on the way."

reinforce.

The terrifying thing about a powerful official is not how high his position is, but his prestige and ability to command the support of everyone.

Many people were jealous of Wei Yi, but he also had many disciples and former officials in the allied army.

"Yes."

Bao Shen gritted his teeth, his eyes gleaming with a look of desperation. (End of this chapter)
