Protagonist:

Lv Muzhi

In Kaifeng, Henan, senior officers of the Fifth War Zone had specially come to the airport to pick up the old man.

Director Dai Li of the Special Operations Bureau held a briefcase under his arm, his face showing quite a bit of unease.

To ensure safety, the Special Operations Bureau had arrived in Kaifeng in advance to check for danger, and Director Dai Li himself had personally taken part, but not long after arriving here, he had received many rumors, each more frightening than the last.

Li Zongren noticed that Dai Li seemed off, so he walked over and asked, "Director Dai, do you have important intelligence waiting to report to the Commander-in-Chief?"

Dai Li clutched his briefcase tighter, but said aloud, "No matter how important the matter, it cannot outweigh the war in the Fifth War Zone; Commander Li's affairs must take priority."

A transport aircraft flew in from the horizon and slowly descended onto the airport.

Seeing the old man disembark from the plane, Li Zongren kindly said, "Director Dai, if there is urgent business, you can go report first."

Dai Li did not bother with false courtesy, immediately stepped forward several paces, walked up to the old man, and lowered his voice, "There is an emergency situation that needs to be reported to you immediately."

The old man realized the situation was not simple and said to Li Zongren, "Delin, you all go arrange things first; I will arrive shortly."

After speaking, he gestured for Dai Li to follow and returned to the aircraft's cabin.

Once the door closed, the cold wind and noise from outside were shut out.

Dai Li did not even wait for the old man to sit down before opening the briefcase he had clutched tightly, taking out an encrypted and sealed telegram, and presenting it with both hands.

"Commander-in-Chief, urgent telegram from Wuhan, all witnessed by our agents with their own eyes. Just over an hour ago, Han Fuqu secretly visited Liu Xiang's residence in Wuhan, and at that time, Commander Lv Muzhi was also in that house, and the three held a closed-door secret meeting for about half an hour."

Until now, the three have not yet left.

The old man's hand holding the telegram shook directly: "Wei Yue is also there? The three of them... gathered together?"

"Yes." Dai Li swallowed his saliva and continued, "The specific content of their conversation is unknown, but recently there have been rumors that Han Fuqu is preparing to win over Liu Xiang to establish Southwest Mutual Defense. Commander Lv appearing there at this time, I do not know what it means..."

Dai Li did not continue speaking further, leaving the situation for the old man to judge himself, otherwise if a mix-up occurred, it would not end well.

"Southwest Mutual Defense... how dare they?!" The old man flew into a rage.

Minister of Military Administration He Yingqin stood to the side and said, "For now we must restrain ourselves and find Wei Yue to ask clearly; the matters within are too suspicious."

He knew Liu Xiang bore resentment; he had also expected Han Fuqu to jump the wall in desperation.

But how could Lv Muzhi get mixed up in this? Could it be that his Youth Army's wings had grown full, and he too harbored ill intentions toward the central government?

If Lv Muzhi truly joined forces with Liu Xiang and Han Fuqu, with Lv Muzhi's current military strength in Wuhan, plus Liu Xiang's potential influence over the Sichuan Army, and then Han Fuqu's remnant troops... if they truly wanted to do something like Southwest Mutual Defense, then the rear, which now seemed stable, would be turned upside down in an instant!

By then, he himself would not even be able to return to the Southwest!

And the war situation in North China, losing Lv Muzhi, this strongest combat force, the consequences would be unthinkable!

A chill rose from the bottom of the old man's heart.

Too many people had betrayed him in this life, but almost none like the current situation, and the consequences of this time could be called disaster-level.

"No no no... Wei Yue cannot possibly do such a thing. He has had many such opportunities before; how could he choose to betray me at this time?!"

At this moment, a senior agent was waiting anxiously outside the plane, eager to see Dai Li.

After reporting in, Dai Li reported another piece of news to He Yingqin: "A unit of the Youth Army stationed in Wuhan under Chu Yunfei has suddenly begun to mobilize and has marched to Liu Xiang's residence."

This frightened the several people present so much they trembled all over. Were they going to take action?!

The old man was already at a loss. He Yingqin looked at Dai Li: "Send someone immediately to ask clearly. We must maintain restraint. I believe Wei Yue is not that kind of person. Also, hurry and send Liu Zhi to Wuhan! We must make Wei Yue stay calm and restrained. Absolutely do not act confused. Whatever the matter, we can talk it out properly!"

Wuhan, Liu Mansion. In fact, the dust had long since settled.

Just as the skies over Kaifeng Airport were filled with dark clouds, the tense atmosphere inside Liu Mansion in Wuhan was quickly resolved by one side's overwhelming superiority.

Han Fuqu had already been bound tightly with the five-flower tie.

Chu Yunfei stepped forward personally, efficiently searched the places on Han Fuqu's body where weapons might be hidden, and then two soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, held him.

"Commander Liu! Commander Liu! Are you just going to watch them act so lawlessly?!" Han Fuqu struggled and shouted at Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang had now fully opened his eyes and sighed: "Brother Xiangfang, I told you to leave long ago, but you wouldn't listen. Now, take care of yourself..."

Han Fuqu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Only now did he fully understand that Liu Xiang's earlier pretense of deafness and dumbness and his urging him to leave might indeed have contained some goodwill not wanting to see him come to utter ruin. It was only a pity that he himself was blinded by profit and did not listen.

"Report to Commander Lv!" Chu Yunfei stood at attention before Lv Muzhi. "We have investigated clearly. Han Fuqu came to Wuhan this time very discreetly, with forty-seven accompanying personnel, all of whom have surrendered their weapons and been controlled, with not one slipping through the net. The vehicles he rode in have also been impounded."

"Very good." Lv Muzhi nodded and ordered, "Imprison Han Fuqu separately, add double sentries. Without my hand seal, no one is allowed to approach."

"Also prepare an aircraft. I want to take this old thief Han and fly to Kaifeng immediately!"

Also prepare an airplane; I want to immediately take Old Thief Han and fly to Kaifeng!

Han Fuqu still wanted to make a final death struggle.

"Lv Wei Yue! What exactly do you want? I am the Vice Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone! By whose order are you arresting me? Show me the order; otherwise, according to your rank, you do not have the authority to arrest me!" Han Fuqu shouted fiercely but inwardly fearful, sweat already on his forehead.

"Whether I have the authority or not, you will know soon enough." Lv Muzhi waved his hand and had people take Han Fuqu away.

"Chu Yunfei! Send someone to also bring back Sun Yuanlang. He is at Hu Gongnan's place. Bring him along to Kaifeng to receive punishment!"

"You'll soon know whether I have any authority or not." Lv Muzhi waved his hand and had Han Fuqu taken away.

On the plane flying to Kaifeng, Han Fuqu was still frenzied: "Lv Wei Yue, I, your father, am not easy to mess with. You just wait. As long as I am alive, don't even think about having good days!"

Lv Muzhi held his arms crossed and smiled: "It's fine, General Han. Say a few more words. You won't have a chance to say them later. By the way, your Second-Class General rank—I'll accept it with a laugh."

On the plane flying to Kaifeng, Han Fuqu remained frenzied: "Lv Wei Yue, I'm no pushover, you just wait; provided that I'm still alive, you won't have any good days!"

"I say~ your Second-Class General! I accept it with a laugh!!!"

"What did you say?!"

"I say~ your Second-Class General! Laugh and accept it!!!"
