Chapter 3260: Too Passive!

~7 min read 1,374 words

At this time, the Duke Mining Company was engulfed in flames shooting into the sky.

When Dong Mingchao received the order from Governor Sun to go in and find the whereabouts of Deputy Commissioner Song, he was stunned for three seconds.

Looking at the raging fire, he muttered: "This... this damn, how do we get in?"

As he was speaking, the large steel structure workshop of the refining plant, due to metal high-temperature fatigue, underwent severe deformation, and then collapsed with a loud boom, the sound wave hit him in the face, the fire inside the workshop was briefly suppressed by the collapsing roof, but then quickly shot up again, the flames burning higher than the original workshop.

Dong Mingchao hesitated repeatedly, and could only send a video reply to Governor Sun: "Governor, it's not that I don't want to go in, the key is the fire is too big, I can't get close at all!"

The situation was relayed by Governor Sun and then reported to Grand Commander Wu Shutong.

Seeing this fire, Wu Shutong also knew that trying to go in to find people was a fool's dream, the crematorium's incinerator probably couldn't match the temperature of Duke Mining, the urgent matter now is to quickly report to the Yingzhu, as for Song Ruyu, she can only fend for herself.

But thinking about such a big problem occurring under his jurisdiction, Wu Shutong also felt timid in his heart, if punishment really comes down, he doesn't know how he will be punished.

But he knows in his heart that even if he is afraid, he must report truthfully, otherwise he will again bear the crime of delaying military affairs.

So he could only pick up his phone and call Wu Tianlin, the attendant beside Yingzhu.

Wu Tianlin, over a hundred years old, has been by Wu Feiyan's side for nearly a hundred years, he understands the Poqing Hui and Wu Feiyan very well, he knows that starting tonight, the Right Army Governor's Office will take the lead in replacing personnel, and moreover, the three great elders are now on the territory of the Right Army Governor's Office, Grand Commander Wu Shutong calling him at this time definitely means no good.

Wu Tianlin, sensing something wrong, immediately sent a message as soon as the call connected: "Shutong, what happened?"

"Ancestral Grandfather..." Wu Shutong called out with a choked voice, saying: "It's over, Ancestral Grandfather, the death squad garrison under my grandson has encountered trouble, almost the same as the Cyprus incident..."

Wu Tianlin is the eldest son of the Wu family's direct lineage.

Wu Feiyan brought him by her side, led him to comprehend the Dao, granted him longevity, and cultivated him as a trusted confidant, but Wu Tianlin thus lost the right to have descendants.

Although he is not a eunuch, Wu Feiyan also does not allow him to marry and have children, this is the price he has to pay for the cultivation Wu Feiyan gave him.

With Wu Feiyan as his role model, Wu Tianlin has no interest in worldly matters like marrying and having children; it's better to stay by Wu Feiyan's side seeking longevity, and if Wu Feiyan passes peacefully while he is still alive, then he can inherit the Poqing Hui and become the next Yingzhu.

And these Wu family descendants of Wu Shutong are actually the bloodline left by those few brothers of Wu Tianlin back then.

Calling him Ancestral Grandfather is also entirely appropriate.

Upon hearing that the garrison had encountered trouble, Wu Tianlin immediately pressed: "Did that person make a move again?! Didn't he go to Nigeria?!"

"No!" Wu Shutong said, feeling wronged: "That mysterious person seems to have seen through our thoughts, for so long he hasn't come to Nigeria at all, although the three great elders are in seclusion, they almost every two hours take turns using spiritual energy to scout the surroundings, and have never detected any cultivator coming, and just now Wu Shutong received news that the death squad garrison in Morocco has already been destroyed, and even Song Ruyu's whereabouts are unknown..."

Wu Tianlin exclaimed: "What did you say?! Song Ruyu is also there?! Isn't she in the Governor's Office?! How could she be there?!"

Wu Shutong explained: "I wanted her to go out and run around, see the world, also accumulate some experience, I thought it was just going through the motions, never expecting to encounter such a thing..."

Wu Tianlin paced back and forth in the room, angry and resentful, saying: "You... you fool! Song Ruyu's talent is one in a billion, Yingzhu has long wanted to bring her to her side to cultivate, but during this period, Yingzhu's energy has not been able to attend to it, so I let you temporarily place her in the Governor's Office, how could you send her out?!"

"I..." Wu Shutong didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Arranging for Song Ruyu to go to Duke Mining was entirely to get close to her, treating her like his own eldest niece, doting on her, feeling that she must be bored staying in the Governor's Office all day, having only the title of Deputy Commissioner but nowhere to find that kind of existence where everyone bows down, so he arbitrarily arranged for her to go to Morocco for a stroll.

Said to be carrying out a mission, it was actually just letting her take a vacation, and also to find a sense of superiority.

I thought with her ability, carrying out such a task in Morocco would be a piece of cake, who would have thought such a thing could happen.

This feeling is like a boss wanting to curry favor with his sales champion, arranging for her to go on a business trip, never expecting her to encounter an air disaster on the plane, this feeling makes him regret not having done otherwise.

But now regretting is useless, the incident has already happened, the only thing to do is to quickly report to Yingzhu, if Yingzhu imposes punishment, I will quickly accept it, to avoid delay and still have interest, if Yingzhu has other orders, I will quickly follow them, maybe there will still be a chance to make up for mistakes with merit.

Wu Tianlin also became a bit flustered, he said softly: "Shutong, Yingzhu old lady has full confidence in the layout in Nigeria, recently these days she has been waiting for the good news of the three great elders opening with victory, if she knows that all plans have long been seen through by the enemy, and even the enemy casually stole a base, along with losing Song Ruyu this genius, she will definitely be furious..."

Wu Shutong became even more panicked, he hurriedly asked: "What should we do then, Ancestral Grandfather... I... I am really powerless! These days I have been in Nigeria, not daring to leave a single step, but you know the strength under my command, true cultivators are few, and their strength levels are also relatively low, that mysterious person is strong, the four great counts can't do anything to him, I have no one under me who can match him, no matter which garrison he goes to outside Nigeria, the outcome is the same..."

Wu Tianlin asked him: "Your garrisons, by rights, should strictly implement the secrecy plan, not leak any clues to the outside, but why was he still able to find it? Based on this alone, you could be punished for a major oversight!"

Wu Shutong cried and said: "Ancestral Grandfather... this... this can't be blamed on me... that person has vast supernatural powers, even if I were more careful, I would definitely not be able to hide from him!"

Saying this, he somewhat panicked asked: "By the way, Ancestral Grandfather... if the other party already knew Nigeria was a trap, then... would he not already be secretly monitoring this place?! The three great elders are right here now, if they are targeted by him, then... would that not be endless future troubles?!"

Wu Shutong's heart gave a jolt, he blurted out: "Bad! This might end up being too passive! You wait, I will go report to Yingzhu now!"
