The King of Special Warfare Chapter 384 - Deadly Threat

Chapter 384 Deadly Threat

There were several small but extremely exquisite villas on the western edge of the Sky Academy. They were close to the river and the sea, far from the arsenal, training ground, and the teaching building. They were surrounded by the sound of water all day and were very quiet.
This was the reception place with the highest specification in the Sky Academy.
The final maneuver of each session took about ten days to half a month. During this period, some very important people who came to watch the ceremony were usually arranged here.
Gu Xingyun had come to the Sky Academy several times.
But it was the first time for him to live here.
He used to like living in the Zijin Pavilion on Huating’s Winter Mountain.
But now the Zijin Pavilion had been violently destroyed by Li Tianlan, and he himself was injured. In this case, he just wanted to ensure his safety and coped with the maneuver. Except for that, he even did not want to step out of the Sky Academy, although he had a bodyguard beside him who was stronger than he was during his heyday.
The hospital of the Sky Academy was about two or three kilometers away from the reception center.
The night fell down. Gu Xingyun and Li Xi walked side by side on the dimly lit path, keeping silent.
The two walked quietly, not quickly or slowly, as if they were taking a walk.
Taking a walk…
Gu Xingyun had forgotten when he walked with Li Xi the last time, as if he could not remember how long Li Xi had not laughed.
He stepped on the Li family, ascended the top of the Zhongzhou State, owned the glorious glory, and was known as God of War.
But he slept with another person in bed with different dreams. They respected each other and thought of totally different things.
Gu Xingyun liked Li Xi less and less.
He did love her but just purely disliked her.
Not only because of the shame she gave to him when she followed Li Kuangtu.
Because Gu Xingyun often did not know whether his life was a success or a failure when he was with her.
He had a beauty beside and overwhelming power.
But he was not proud.
He could not be proud.
Therefore, he had been going back to Kunlun City less and less over the years. Even if he went back, he barely saw Li Xi.
If it were not for this serious injury that made him need her protection, Li Xi should leave when the team maneuver ended.
Gu Xingyun suddenly broke the silence and asked, “What do you think of Jiang Shangyu?”
Li Xi paused her footsteps. A kind of instinctual vigilance flashed in her eyes, and she numbly said, “Very good.”
“Is this the one you like?”
Gu Xingyun laughed.
“This is the most suitable person for Qingcheng.”
Li Xi said, “Jiang Shangyu likes Qingcheng. I can confirm this. He likes her very much.”
He liked her very much and was very affectionate.
Li Xi had seen Jiang Shangyu’s look at Li Qingcheng a few times.
If there were no affection in his heart, his eyes would definitely not emit that glory.
“That’s him.”
Gu Xingyun nodded. “I respect your choice, but I will also respect Qingcheng’s choice. I’ll let her be with Jiang Shangyu for a while. If it’s appropriate, I don’t mind marrying Qingcheng to him.”
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun indifferently.
There was no emotion in her eyes because she knew why Gu Xingyun did this.
Today, Li Tianlan had proved his strength and potential. Nowadays, in Zhongzhou State and even the world, countless wealthy families were facing up to and even studying this rising Chosen One.
The combat ability of the Invincible Realm.
Although he was only 22 years old, how many people dared to treat him as a young man for such strength?
Li Tianlan’s light was extremely dazzling.
But no matter how bright the moon’s light was, there would also be starlight around the moonlight.
Wang Shengxiao, who had abandoned the pride and would rather chase Li Tianlan’s back, had his own light.
Jiang Shangyu, who had explored his own path, also had his own light.
For Kunlun City, in today’s maneuver, Gu Xingyun saw Li Tianlan’s horror but also recognized the value of Jiang Shangyu.
With Li Qingcheng beside him, Kunlun City now got the Jiang family, but in the future, it would get a master of the Invincible Realm who was absolutely not weak.
These were all benefits.
Nothing really touched her.
However, compared with the original fate of Li Qingcheng, this result seemed to be much better.
Li Xi stared at Gu Xingyun’s calm face.
After a long silence, she nodded and said, “Qingcheng will like him.”
“Maybe.”
Gu Xingyun did not state his point of view.
There was a long silence between the two.
The small villa that Zhuang Huayang had arranged for Gu Xingyun was near. But Gu Xingyun did not go in, just sitting casually by the river. He watched the river flowing into the sea and rushing forward.
The river and the sea glowed in the night.
The light reflected in Gu Xingyun’s pupils, and his eyes looked extremely wide and extended.
At this moment, Li Xi keenly noticed that Gu Xingyun’s whole person presented a completely different aura than the usual one.
His injuries remained serious and almost fatal.
But his spirit seemed to jump to a higher level.
“Do you want to leave me?” Gu Xingyun asked suddenly.
Li Xi’s body suddenly tightened. She watched Gu Xingyun with great vigilance.
She never thought that this man would let her go, and naturally did not think about leaving.
“I’m tired all these years.”
Gu Xingyun looked at the flowing river and sea in his sight and said blandly, “If you have enough of this life, I can give you a chance. After Qingcheng gets married, leave your sword and martial arts. You can go with her.”
“Do you think I will believe you?”
Li Xi stared hard at Gu Xingyun. A look of contempt gradually appeared in her eyes.
“Believe it or not.”
Gu Xingyun’s tone did not fluctuate in the slightest. “I naturally do not want you to leave. But going on like this is actually not interesting. All these years, I humiliated you and scolded you. I did a lot of wrongs, not that I am such a stingy man. I just feel that you are no longer the former person who followed me, so I cannot accept it. After all these years, we have Qingcheng, and I keep you by my side. I just want to make you return to the beginning, for that kind of Li Xi is my favorite. A woman who could approach Li Kuangtu for me…”
Gu Xingyun’s face was distorted, and then he laughed at himself. “But now it seems impossible to go back.”
Li Xi was silent for a long time.
“She is dead.”
After a long time, Li Xi whispered softly, “The Li Xi in your heart died with Li Kuangtu when she pierced a sword into Li Kuangtu’s chest. What survived was just a walking dead without faith.”
“Died?”
Gu Xingyun stared at Li Xi’s face. “Li Kuangtu was dead?”
Li Xi did not answer but calmly said, “Li Xi is dead, too.”
“Oh.”
Gu Xingyun laughed. The blandness in his eyes disappeared a little bit, and his eyes became cold and poisonous. “It seems you really loved him.”
“I loved you.”
Li Xi whispered, “But it was long ago. I love him till now. ”
The stars shone in the sky and were reflected in the river.
Li Xi stood quietly, with long hair flying and white skirt dancing. She was beautiful, but without a trace of vitality. Just like a statue without the slightest breath of life, she was lifelike but had no soul.
She stared blankly at the starlight in the river water. After a long time, she smiled suddenly. “In fact, I don’t blame you for beating and insulting me in recent years. Just as I never fought back, I think you were correct many times. I am really a bitch, otherwise, how could I really fall in love with two men? Everything I have borne this year is what I should bear.”
Her smile widened in the night. “I’m sorry for many people. I still have this kind of life. What else can I be dissatisfied with?”
“You are really sorry for many people.”
Gu Xingyun’s eyes were cold.
“But I’m not sorry for you.”
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun with firm eyes.
“You betrayed me, but you said you weren’t sorry?!”
Gu Xingyun’s face twisted sharply, as if he had been stimulated. His voice was low, and he growled, “Bitch! You betrayed me, you betrayed!”
“You made me betray you. “In the beginning, if you had not let me get close to Li Kuangtu, I would have always been with you. No matter if you succeed or fail, I will be with you, marry you, give you children, rather than marry Li Kuangtu and not…”
“Shut up!”
Gu Xingyun shouted and interrupted Li Xi. His eyes were as cold as winter, without any temperature.
Li Xi looked at him with a mocked and ironic look.
Gu Xingyun took out a cigarette and lit it in silence. When a cigarette burned out, he said in a hoarse voice when he coughed, “Get out. After Qingcheng gets married, leave your martial arts and go as far as possible.”
“When?” Li Xi asked blankly.
“A few more years.”
Gu Xingyun’s tone was indifferent.
In a few years, after his injury recovered, he would truly enter the peak rank of the Invincible Realm experts. At that time, Kunlun City no longer needed Li Xi with a vague stance or even Gu Qianchuan. He alone could support the entire Kunlun City.
That was his own glory.
Li Xi?
Such a woman who represented his shame had better go as far as possible.
“Okay.”
Li Xi nodded.
She looked into the distance, and her voice was very gentle.
Because it was gentle, it was soft.
Gu Xingyun looked at her.
He finally saw a touch of slackness on that beautiful face that had been numb for many years, which was the longing and expectation after her being surrounded by freedom.
Gu Xingyun’s heart kept sinking.
But a raging rage that devoured all his senses kept flowing, almost covering his entire body.
Gu Xingyun held back the anger in his heart and asked calmly, “After being free, what’s your plan?”
“Atonement,” Li Xi said quietly.
She would go to many places, including East Island and Heaven Capital.
She just wanted to atone for sin.
“Atonement?”
Gu Xingyun’s anger finally broke out, and he laughed. His smile was extremely cold. “OK. You can do whatever you want. Li Xi, I recently pursue Taoist. I plan to invite Xuan Xuanzi to help me with my doubts. What do you think?”
Master Xuan Xuanzi…
Li Xi’s body trembled, and her face became pale suddenly.
She turned suddenly and looked at Gu Xingyun.
She seemed angry. That anger was not a hysterical outburst but hopeless despair.
“What the hell are you doing?” Li Xi asked.
“Threatening you.”
Gu Xingyun looked at Li Xi and said in a light tone. “I can give you freedom. But that is something a few years later. As for these years, as the Governess of Kunlun City, you have to fulfill your responsibilities.”
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun. Her body was shaking, and she became weaker.
“Go to Snow Country.”
Gu Xingyun smiled with narrowed eyes. “Li Tianlan will definitely go to Snow Country after such a big thing happened in Samsara Palace. Oh, I heard that Purgatory of Heaven Capital is also in Snow Country? Alas, Deity, I hate this title. I don’t want to know who he is, but this time, you go to Snow Country on behalf of Kunlun City, so they are all enemies.”
“I will pick a batch of elites for you. In addition to getting our interests in Snow Country, I will also have the heads of these two people. Li Tianlan. Deity. Neither of them can live, okay?”
Li Xi’s body fell to the ground softly, and her whole person was like an empty shell without a soul.
“After you finish doing what I have told you, I will not harass Master Xuan Xuanzi. You are free, so is Qingcheng.”
Gu Xingyun looked at Li Xi with a smile. “Killing two people is not difficult for you, is it? You have killed people and just need to kill another two.”
Li Xi looked at Gu Xingyun blankly, weak and hopeless.
Gu Xingyun reached out and patted her still tender face.
He looked into her eyes and said calmly, “You’re pathetic.”
Mount Dibing.
It was a rainy night.
After the maneuver, Wang Tianzong, who had returned directly from Huating to Beihai without any delay, returned to Mount Dibing with Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci at the fastest speed.
Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci were seriously injured.
Especially Wang Shengxiao, his injury was arguably the heaviest of all.
After Wang Tianzong delivered Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci to the dorm room on Mount Dibing at the fastest speed, until the night came, Wang Shengxiao’s body slowly calmed down and was out of danger.
Wang Tianzong calmly put away the Immortality Potion ready to be used at any time and looked at the nutrition capsule in front of him.
This was a large vessel that was four to five meters long and was tightly stitched together. The whole one was shining with a strange metallic luster. There was an oxygen outlet at the front of the vessel. Except for that, the whole was completely closed.
Wang Shengxiao and Song Ci were half-lying in the vessel, holding hands. Their bodies were surrounded by precious genetic drugs. They closed their eyes as if they were asleep. Their breathing became more and more stable.
“Noting.”
Summer Solstice stood beside Wang Tianzong, looking at the young man and woman in the vessel with soft eyes.
Wang Tianzong said, “Hmm”.
“For Song Ci, isn’t it troublesome?” Summer Solstice asked suddenly.
Song Ci’s injuries were not serious.
The problem was that she had abstained before the maneuver but eventually appeared in the lineup that besieged Li Tianlan. She had also broken the rules.
“It’s not a big problem.”
Wang Tianzong shook his head. “They have already won and won’t catch this little thing. It is estimated that now they all put their minds on me, so the little girl’s matter is nothing.”
He looked at Song Ci and laughed suddenly. “This kid is good.”
“Really good.”
Summer Solstice also laughed. “Shishi is also good. Tang Shi and Song Ci are very good to be daughters-in-law.”
Wang Tianzong glanced at his wife, took her hand, and returned to Emperor Hall by car.
Emperor Hall was lit with lights.
The document was still displayed on the coffee table in the hall. No one touched it after Summer Solstice read it.
Wang Tianzong glanced at the document and looked at Summer Solstice.
“Let’s take a bath first.”
Summer Solstice whispered, “Everything is over. Don’t worry about it at this moment.”
“Let’s talk about it first.”
Wang Tianzong shook his head and reorganized his wife’s hair on her forehead that had been wet with rain.
Summer Solstice pointed her finger at the document on the coffee table and frowned subconsciously. “I can’t say it clearly, for I don’t understand many things. But you should look at that document. If that is true, then you really can’t hurt Li Tianlan. At least you cannot hurt him temporarily.”
Wang Tianzong waved his hand.
The document on the coffee table flew up and landed in his palm.
“Qin Weibai left it?” Wang Tianzong asked.
Summer Solstice nodded. “Read first. I’ll make you tea.”
“Okay.”
Wang Tianzong sat on the sofa and opened the document in his hand.
Summer Solstice went to a small hall to pick some scented tea and boiled the water unhurriedly. It took about 20 minutes. After Wang Tianzong had almost read it, she returned to the hall with a teacup.
Wang Tianzong was still sitting, holding the document. His posture had not changed, as same as the one before she had left.
Summer Solstice glanced at her husband’s face.
Under the soft light, Wang Tianzong’s face was tightened, and he frowned his brows tightly.
His eyes remained calm. But there was a touch of irritability that could not be concealed under closer inspection.
This mood was vague, but it was so obvious.
As Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State and the patriarch of the Wang family of Beihai, he had not shown such a clear negative emotion for many years.
Summer Solstice placed the tea in front of Wang Tianzong and sat quietly beside him.
Wang Tianzong squeezed the document tighter and tighter with his palms.
Just as he was about to get out of control, Summer Solstice spoke, “Drink some water first. Why so angry?”
Wang Tianzong gave her a glance, smiled reluctantly, and reached out to pick up the teacup.
The cold air rose from his palm, and a cup of hot tea instantly became cold.
Wang Tianzong drank all the tea.
“Things on the document are true, right?” Summer Solstice asked softly.
Wang Tianzong nodded silently.
He was silent for a long time before he said, “Where did the document come from?”
The document came from Qin Weibai.
It was needless to say this point.
But Wang Tianzong wondered where did Qin Weibai get this document?
There were some things in the proper amount in this document, but the content was extremely single.
In the entire document, it was recorded that the Wang family of Beihai had invested in more than sixty projects with investment amounts of more than ten billion around the world.
Among the largest projects, the investment quota had exceeded 100 billion yuan.
The fields covered by more than 60 projects were extremely broad, such as steel, petroleum, minerals, military industry, real estate, finance, automobiles, roads and bridges, civil aviation, ships, new energy…
Countless fields were involved.
The document provided by Qin Weibai covered some of the most secret things or the most advanced technologies in these projects.
This was simply the most significant evidence.
Wang Tianzong could be sure that if this document did not appear here but were fully exposed, it would cause the investments of the Wang family of Beihai in various places to directly lose at least nearly one trillion for less than a month. Its major listed groups and multinational groups had even more unimaginable evaporated market value.
The most important thing was that once this document was made public, the Wang family of Beihai would lose the trust of a considerable number of partners, and the overall economic strength of the Wang family of Beihai would suffer unprecedented damage.
All these consequences would affect Mount Dibing. Definitely, not only the Wang family of Beihai but also tens of millions of people in the entire Beihai Province would be affected.
Beihai Province belonged to Zhongzhou State. But this most special province actually belonged to the Wang family of Beihai.
When Beihai people from all over the world walked in any corner, they would say that they were Beihai people, not Beihai people of Zhongzhou State.
In the provinces of Zhongzhou State, only the people of Beihai Province had such pride.
This was equivalent to a very thorough system of one-country, two-system. The independence of Beihai Province was far greater than that of an autonomous region in Zhongzhou State.
Once the economy of the Wang family of Beihai was hit hard, it would be a disaster for Beihai Province.
The allowance of hundreds of thousands of troops in Beihai Corps would be reduced.
The military budget would be cut down.
The treatment of Beihai civil servants would be reduced.
Budgets for cutting-edge research projects would be cut.
The various intelligence agencies of the Wang family of Beihai and special warfare agencies would reduce their funding.
Beihai Bank would raise interest rates.
Taxes would increase.
Inflation…
Etc.
Of course, to a certain extent, this situation might not happen, as long as Wang Tianzong asked for help from Zhongzhou State.
Zhongzhou State would not hesitate to provide a lot of support, but it would also take away part of the leadership of Beihai Province without hesitation.
Regardless of the possible disaster or the consequences of asking for help from Zhongzhou State, Wang Tianzong could not accept it.
Absolutely unacceptable!
The consequences could be disastrous?
If he killed Li Tianlan today, Qin Weibai would make all this information public, and the consequences would be far more disastrous?
But the question was, where did Qin Weibai get it?!
Where did she get it?!
Wang Tianzong’s inner irritability kept surging, and his eyes became extremely cold.
“Qinglei…”
Summer Solstice reminded him quietly.
“Not possible.”
Wang Tianzong shook his head. “He didn’t dare to joke about the foundation of Beihai Province. And even if he was willing to give it, he didn’t know most of it.”
Summer Solstice wanted to say something but then shook her head.
The current economy of the Wang family of Beihai was controlled by Tang Shi alone. For many top-secret projects, only she and Wang Tianzong knew them.
But she was also unlikely to betray the Wang family of Beihai.
It was absolutely impossible.
Where did Qin Weibai get this document?
Wang Tianzong took a drag on the cigarette and said nothing.
This document could be said to be an absolute killer, and it was even more useful than several people of the Invincible Realm standing in front of Wang Tianzong.
“It’s not bad.”
After sullenly smoking a cigarette, Wang Tianzong threw away his cigarette butt. “At least it is good that these materials have not been made public.”
“Is there no other way?”
Summer Solstice looked at Wang Tianzong.
The document was not made public.
But this document was like a sharp sword in the hands of the enemy, which was really disturbing.
“Of course there is.”
Wang Tianzong shook his head. “But Li Tianlan may have to live longer.”
He tapped the document in his hand. “The problems here are more complicated. Many of them are black-box operations, trading of power and money. Once the document were made public, the reputation of the Wang family of Beihai would decline, and its strength would be damaged. The Wang family of Beihai would encounter many difficulties and offend many intimate partners. Many of Shishi’s operation methods are relatively radical. But they achieved quick results and great benefits. The key is that her methods are very stable. Even if there are some problems, they will not be known and should not be known.”
“But Qin Weibai knows,” Summer Solstice softly said.
“I’m wondering about this too.”
Wang Tianzong said, “But it doesn’t matter. All the information written on this document is the hidden danger. This is indeed the most deadly threat. But since it is a hidden danger, it can be eliminated naturally. But I need time, at most half a year. The problems above will not be a problem anymore.”
He looked at the document in his hand and whispered to himself, “What about letting him live for six months?”
He threw the document onto the table, pulled out his cell phone, and called Xuan Ming directly.
“His Majesty.”
On the phone, Xuan Ming’s tone was calm.
“There is one thing you can check by yourself,” Wang Tianzong said.
“His Majesty, please tell me.”
Xuan Ming’s voice remained the same. Although he had not been involved in the specific operations of intelligence agencies these years and was only responsible for controlling the overall situation, this did not mean that his ability had declined.
“Check on Qin Weibai. This person is not right. Within a month, I want all the information about her. Dig and scrutinize it from her childhood. Didn’t it say that she was born in the southwest? Then check from the southwest twenty years ago.”
Wang Tianzong calmly said, “I want all her information. “Just do it, at all costs!”
