Chapter 1508: Who’s Responsible?
“No need, I did it myself.” Fenghuang Niao casually flung her left hand about. “Thank God it was not my right arm. I’m better with my right so I could relocate it myself.”
Yun Xi was too stunned to speak. She thought Mu Feichi was an impressive person, but who would have thought that the people around him were as strong and impressive as he was.
“Since you’re fine, then let’s go!” Yun Xi stood up, after picking up the medications that were on the ground and packing them into her backpack. She turned to Mu Feichi, who was finishing packing up as well. “Can you give me a gun,” she demanded.
Mu Feichi handed one of the hunting rifles he’d had in the car to Yun Xi.
“It’s loaded,” he said as he inserted a few more bullets into the pocket of her down jacket, zipping it up for security. “You go with Niao. I’ll guard your back.”
“Okay.” Yun Xi nodded and followed behind Fenghuang Niao. Her military boots stomped through the snow, the crunching sound of the snow echoing through the quiet forest.
After a short time of walking, Yun Xi’s mind unclouded enough for her to do an assessment of the situation. She then turned to Mu Feichi, who was trailing behind her, and asked, “When did you prepare all this food and clothing? Did you predict this would happen? Was it something like saving up for a rainy day?”
“Rainy days, yes, but who would have thought they would have picked today to make their move...”
“The ones in prison should have made their move too,” Fenghuang Niao added casually. “Hope we learn some new information tonight.”
“Prison? On Tianyu Mountain? Did Han Hongbin make his move?” Yun Xi turned to look at Mu Feichi. “But security is high on Tianyu Mountain. It would take a lot of manpower, and he’s only got a few mercenaries on hand. It won’t be easy for him.”
“The intelligence unit recently gave us an update that there is a new arms trade that has appeared in the golden triangle. They are mainly trading in heavy weaponry and rocket launchers. If these are Crocodile’s men, they could be at Tianyu Mountain, not here.”
“If we don’t know about the situation at Tianyu Mountain... What if he sent people there as well?”
“If Han Hongbin was behind this, that is, if he is Crocodile, he would know Tianyu Mountain is an impenetrable fortress. He would not split his forces to deal with us and Tianyu Mountain at the same time. But Tianyu Mountain has already been attacked, and they rescued Han Hongbin’s illegitimate son, so we know who is behind that one. But for us, it must be someone else.”
“But if it is not Crocodile, then who can it be?” Yun Xi paused. “You have so many enemies, Young Commander, but who out of them can want you dead so badly, know about your schedule, know about your attendance at the ball, and have everything prepared beforehand?”
“There are a few hours of time between the ball’s preparation and when it actually starts. It should be enough time for them to prepare the manpower.” Mu Feichi thought for a little while and continued, “If my schedules were public, it is true that there would be more enemies who could target me. But not only must they have heavy weapons at their disposal, but they also have international mercenaries to mobilize. Using the process of elimination, only one person in Jun Country has this power.”
“The Prime Minister?” Yun Xi frowned. It seemed unlikely. “The drug I was given is what Han Wanling gave you. If we follow your reasoning, since Han Hongbin is in jail, these men must have been sent by the Prime Minister. But what does he gain from this?” Yun Xi lifted her fingers and started counting the reasons why she disagreed with the guess. “The Qi Family’s reputation would be badly hit by this event if it’s true. He cares deeply about his image. Why would he do this to himself? Also, he was planning to have you marry Qi Siyu. Why would he ever want to kill you?”
