By using the Hans to subvert the Qiaos, and then eradicating them both at once while the other clans were busy going at each other’s throats...

He had to agree, it was the perfect plan.

Mu Chongli chuckled out loud as his eyes lit up in admiration. “You may be young, but your ambitions are far from shy.”

He could see that neither her ambitions nor her visions were short-sighted at all.

However, the Prime Minister was still standing behind the Han and the Qiao families. Since she had made this move, she would most certainly be aware of the threat that the Prime Minister posed against Mu Feichi. If so, then her ultimate goal would be...

Hah! This young girl was obviously no plain jane.

“But these two patriarchs are old snakes. Plotting against them on your own will be no walk in the park.”

“I know, but everyone has their weaknesses. Even a great clan has its weak link.”

As she spoke brimming with confidence, Mu Chongli suddenly saw in her the young Mu Feichi at the moment when he proudly became the man in charge.

Comparing that rascal to her, they were practically two peas in a pod.

“Then I’ll just sit back and watch the fireworks explode. Don’t make me get my hopes up for nothing.”

Yun Xi nodded.

Since he had gotten the answers he’d come for, Mu Chongli had no reason to stay on this subject any longer and casually chatted with her about recent developments instead.

Behind the tall windows of the living room on the first floor, two figures silently looked at the two people sitting in the courtyard. Although they had no idea of the words being exchanged, neither of them spoke.

It wasn’t until the subject had been changed that Mu Feichi finally stopped worrying. He turned to look at Yan Shuo, who had been studying him all this while. Yan Shuo snorted playfully, then turned around and plopped himself down on the couch in front of him.

“Instructor Yan, I assume you wanted to speak to me regarding Crocodile, am I correct?”

“That’s the gist of it.” Yan Shuo nodded. “I know you already have a suspect in mind. Regardless, this matter needs to be resolved as quickly as possible. I just swung by the President’s office where I met with him today. The current national situation in Country M is tense indeed. Once a civil war breaks out there, your team of Special Forces will need to cooperate with the Navy to execute a rescue operation and evacuate our citizens who live in their land. With you being out of the country, it might be difficult to compete with the last of Crocodile’s mercenaries by relying on the abilities of that girl alone.”

Mu Feichi’s expression suddenly turned solemn at the mere mention of this quandary. His handsome face filled with a somber aura. “I’m well aware of this problem.”

The current national situation in Country M was becoming increasingly tense. Once a civil war broke out, he would be required to lead the army to evacuate their citizens who lived there.

With him being out of the country, it would the perfect chance for Crocodile to strike, which was what he dreaded most.

Regardless of whether or not Han Hongbin was Crocodile, taking care of the Hans was the top priority. If something were to happen, he would be too far away to do anything from abroad.

“I thought that with how the girl has put the Hans through so much trouble lately, Han Hongbin was bound to retaliate. I’m surprised that he would rather endure all this and go to jail rather than to make a move using the connections he readily has in the palms of his hands.”

“He may have endured, but didn’t he still make his move at the very end?” Mu Feichi smirked mischievously, his dark eyes filled with strong murderous intent.

If he hadn’t abused his power, the girl wouldn’t have driven the Hans into the deep end in the first place, and Han Hongbin wouldn’t have panicked out of desperation. It was his recklessness that allowed them to track down the contact he was trying to bribe, which would have otherwise been impossible to trace.

If Han Hongbin had not made his move, there wouldn’t have been enough evidence to seize the man. The minute he started to act, he left a paper trail to follow.

“Be careful, that old snake won’t be beaten so easily. Since you’ve put so much heat on the Hans, Han Hongbin is now back again, and this time he will bite back. By the way, I heard that you’ve invited Yi Qianmo back in town?”

“Yes, I invited him back to teach the girl about counterterrorism strategies and tactics, and also to establish a counterterrorism operation while he’s here.”

“The girl has a lot to learn. If possible, you should take her to a real battlefield to show her what it’s really like out there. Only then can she truly grow.”

“Never in a million years!” Mu Feichi pulled his head up abruptly, and his dark deadly eyes fell on Yan Shuo. “That’s something you would never wish to relive yourself, and you think I’d willingly put her through that?”

Yan Shuo let out an awkward chuckle, then lowered his gaze and kept his mouth shut.

Although a bloody battlefield was where the best soldiers were molded, it was also the place where soldiers would be burdened with a lifetime of nightmares.
