Chapter 1264: Yes Darling (21)
Originally, Ming Shu wanted to protect the people in the East District. This was her base. She couldn’t let her base be destroyed.
However, they hurt Ye Ji. Ming Shu didn’t want to put any effort into them anymore.
Ming Shu retracted all her orders. She also retracted the men she placed at the wall. She didn’t care what other people wanted to do anymore.
She just let the matter run by itself.
If the people of the East District wanted to hand her over, they needed to catch her first.
Things were at a standstill for three days. Finally, the West District couldn’t wait anymore and attacked the East District.
By right, with the defensive wall, the West District would not be able to enter the East District so easily. But, someone opened one of the gates. There was a betrayer in the East District.
The army entered the East District. They were here to destroy the East District. Anyone that resisted them would be killed. Those that didn’t were taken away by them.
“Young Miss, they have cleared two streets.”
Assistant He appeared composed.
Ming Shu nodded and expressed that she knew about it.
Buzz buzz buzz—
Ming Shu looked at the name that appeared on her phone. She was slightly surprised. This missing person actually called her.
Seemed like today was a good day for attacking people.
“Daughter.” A voice came from the other end of the cellphone. “I heard that there is a war?”
“Yes.”
“I heard that you started it?”
“Yes,” Ming Shu replied. “Father, you didn’t call me now to ask about this, right?”
“Hahaha, of course not.” Her father seemed quite happy. “I just want to hear my daughter’s voice.”
“???”
She didn’t understand how old people thought.
“Daughter, see you soon.”
Her father hung up.
Ming Shu was confused. What is happening? He’s coming back?
Since the East District and the West District were starting a war, it was reasonable that her father wanted to come back.
However, Ming Shu felt that there was something strange about her father’s attitude…
And the words he said just now…
…
The East District was a mess but Du Ji was peaceful. The army came toward Du Ji, but before they could reach the building, they were bombed.
Yes, they were bombed.
By a weapon that was as strong as the weapons of the West District.
The West District army fought with Du Ji for an entire day. They ended up with heavy losses.
They had no choice but to leave Du Ji alone and focus on other areas first.
The family members of Du Ji were also hiding in the Du Ji headquarters.
“Since you have such weapons, why didn’t you retaliate?”
“You could save everyone but you didn’t. Why!?”
“They are all innocent!”
“You caused this. You must be responsible for it!”
Some family members of the workers started shouting in the main hall. Soon, they formed a small group and urged Du Ji to set up a resistance force against the West District army.
Assistant He glared at these people. The workers saw this and immediately stopped their family members from shouting.
Assistant He walked up to them. “Who were the ones who wanted to hand Young Miss over?”
“That is because… she…” It was her fault to begin with!
“We…” We didn’t do anything wrong!
They wanted to say this but in the face of Assistant He’s cold and mocking gaze, they couldn’t speak.
Assistant He sneered. He released another huge piece of news. “Actually, Young Miss wanted to protect the East District. However, you all ruined it.”
Before Mr. Ye was hurt, Young Miss wanted to protect them. She didn’t care about all the scoldings she was receiving and didn’t mind the fact that these people wanted to hand her over.
She even had the mood to settle things at the defensive wall.
However, after Mr. Ye was hurt, her attitude changed totally.
Assistant He settled the commotion and returned upstairs.
The main members of the organization were all upstairs. Their family members stayed at the side quietly.
“Assistant He, where did Young Miss get all these weird weapons from?” Even the West District didn’t have such weapons.
Assistant He wanted to know the answer too.
However, he didn’t manage to find anything out from Ming Shu.
“I’ve only been working here for a few years. However, Du Ji has existed a long time. It’s not strange that the organization kept such weapons.”
He came up with an answer.
It sounded reasonable.
He didn’t know how long Du Ji had existed. In his memory, it was always there.
Its presence was like the East District, the West District, and the lifespan card. It just existed and no one questioned its presence.
“True.” The worker nodded. “What are we going to do now? We can’t just sit here and watch the West District take over the East District, right?”
Assistant He shook his head. “Young Miss hasn’t told me the next step.”
Everyone was unconcerned as well. Their Young Miss was a powerful person. Look at their situation now. The people from the West District couldn’t do anything to Du Ji.
…
At the West District…
Yi Xi and a group of people sat in the meeting room watching the results of their attack.
The map of the East District was laid out. The red dots on the map represented the areas that were controlled by them.
A part of the map was circled. This was where Du Ji was.
“Miss Yi, I think that we can send more people over. It will hasten things.”
“The East District is made up of a bunch of rats. We should have cleared them long ago.”
“Du Ji…”
Someone spoke.
Everyone in the meeting room turned silent.
A man with a beer belly said, “Du Ji’s weapons are too powerful. We can’t subdue them with normal weapons.”
The man opposite him was irritated. “Where did Du Ji get all these advanced weapons from?”
This was a question everyone had.
“Let’s not worry about Du Ji for now. We can clear all the other areas so that no one will be able to help Du Ji. Without resources, they will not survive for long.”
“Makes sense…”
Everyone discussed among themselves and agreed with this person’s assessment.
“Miss Yi, what do you think?”
Yi Xi didn’t reply to him. She looked at the map worriedly.
That lady…
Yi Xi felt that this decision was inappropriate, but she couldn’t object too violently since everyone agreed to it. Her position would be at risk if she offended the people here.
Since Yi Xi agreed, they sent more people over to speed up the process.
For the first few days, everything went smoothly. There was no retaliation from Du Ji. They seemed to have given up on resisting.
This made Yi Xi even more worried.
That woman would never sit and wait for death.
Just as she was getting anxious, news came from the frontline that there was a team of civilians resisting fiercely.
Their weapons were not the best, but they used the topography of the East District and created a sizeable loss to their side. They even snatched some of their weapons.
Within the photos that were sent back, Yi Xi saw a familiar figure.
“Lu Ning…”
She led a team to resist them.
“Catch this woman.” Yi Xi pointed at Lu Ning. There was a malicious intent in her eyes. “I want her alive!”
