Chapter 1587: The Eager Yu Dongming and the Solemn Xiong Wang

~7 min read 1,386 words

"What? Where?"

Inside the Yu family villa in the inner city of Hui-2 Base, Yu Dongming, chairman of the ChonGlian Group, who was on the phone, sprang to his feet, his breathing clearly quickening with excitement.

Yuan Jian, head of the ChonGlian intelligence team and the chairman's secretary, reported again, "Satellite detection shows a medium-sized helicopter circling above Mountain 86 in the northwest of Hui-3. Two large military helicopters have already taken off from the safe zone of Hui-3 Base and are heading to that area. Chairman, the intelligence we obtained may be true—there is an underground research facility of Blaze inside the Mountain 86 area of Hui-3."

Hearing that the research facility truly existed, Yu Dongming no longer remembered his father's warning and immediately gave the order, "Send a helicopter over right now under the pretext of delivering supplies to Xin Yu. At any cost, you must bring the Fire Phoenix back. If you can't take her alive, kill her!"

Yuan Jian paused for two seconds, then chose to report the second piece of important intelligence, "Chairman, fifteen minutes ago, our monkey-hunting squad spotted a modified human in the eastern Evolution Forest. Based on the returned image data and footprints, this modified human is very likely Huo Li, a modified human from Blaze Squad One, who is specifically assigned to protect the Fire Phoenix."

Blaze Squad One is the Fire Phoenix's dedicated guard squad—wherever the Fire Phoenix is, they are there. If that little brat Huo Li, who likes to flay people's skin, has come near the Hui-2 safe zone, then the Fire Phoenix cannot be hiding on Mountain 86 in Hui-3.

Yu Dongming calmed down a little and sat back in his chair, "The Mountain 86 area in Hui-3 is very likely a golden cicada shedding its shell ploy by the Fire Phoenix. I reckon the Fire Phoenix will splash some blood over there and then detonate it, making people think she's dead."

The more Yu Dongming thought about it, the more convinced he became. He leaned back in his chair and gave a cold, smug snort, "Looking across the entire Hui City, besides the ChonGlian Group, who else would dare take on this hot potato of hers? Immediately dispatch Security Squad Five to conduct a carpet search of the Evolution Forest, tracking Huo Li's aura to find the Fire Phoenix."

Yuan Jian acknowledged the order, "Yes. Chairman, should we still send people to the Mountain 86 area in Hui-3?"

Yu Dongming ordered, "Send Security Squad Three over as well, just in case. If they don't find the Fire Phoenix, they should go to Hui-3 Territory No. 8 and bring Xin Yu back."

Security Squad Three had strong combat power and top snipers, making them indeed very suitable for this mission. Yuan Jian asked, "What if Miss Xin doesn't cooperate?"

Xin Yu was a major shareholder of the ChonGlian Group and the granddaughter of the former chairman. If she didn't want to come back, the security team members wouldn't dare force her.

Yu Dongming, who urgently needed Xin Yu's blood for compatibility testing, replied, "Then get into some kind of conflict with her and bring back a blood sample."

After the sounds downstairs ceased, Yu Wenfei shut off the secretly drilled-in eavesdropping device and typed on her phone: My father would rather transfer Squad Three, who protects him, than touch Squad Four. It seems the fetuses in those two evolvers' bellies have already been confirmed as evolvers—they absolutely cannot be allowed to live!

Neither Yu Wenfei nor her brother Yu Wen-chuang were evolvers. If they were allowed to give birth to the children, Yu Dongming would have evolver descendants and would no longer regard the siblings. Perhaps their next step would be sent to the operating table by their own father.

Thinking of the fetus that had been taken alive from her belly, Yu Wenfei's hatred surged to the heavens.

Killing these two would only bring new ones—the problem had to be solved at the root. Yu Wenfei's mother Cao Ying calmly stood up, "Notify the security team in half an hour. We're going to the hospital to visit your grandfather."

The old man's hospitalization had taken Security Squad One away; Yu Dongming had just dispatched Security Squad Three as well. If the two of them went out at this time and took two more squads with them…

Yu Wenfei understood what her mother intended to do and stood up as well, "I'll go to the kitchen and make Grandpa his favorite fresh meat wontons."

"…So, I'm currently teaming up with Man-jie, Huo Zhun, Wu Lianmin, Squad Leader Hu, and Er Yong, piloting a helicopter to monitor the danger zone above Raptor territory. Once Yang Jin brings his team over, we'll dig out this villain's lair."

On the helicopter circling above the border between Mountain 86 and Mountain 87 in Hui-3, Er Yong piloted the helicopter, Beard Feng and Huo Zhun handled ground surveillance, while Wang Man and Wu Lianmin were in charge of aerial defense.

Xia Qing was briefing the Northern Wolf King and the Broken-Waist Wolf, who had called via video to ask about the situation, on the current circumstances.

The Northern Wolf Pack and the Northern Raptors were neighbors and survival rivals. The wolf pack paid close attention to the raptors' movements. Handsome Giant Wolf and Broken-Leg Wolf had been sent to No. 60 specifically to monitor the raptors and contend with the bear pack and the pythons in the lake.

When the raptors showed unusual movement, the wolf pack immediately howled a warning. The lead wolf, located on Mountain 55, received the warning and immediately called Xia Qing to inquire.

The Broken-Waist Wolf, crouching beside the Wolf King, extended a large paw and flipped it upward.

Xia Qing replied, "There's still no movement from the Xiong Wang."

The Broken-Waist Wolf extended its paw upward again and scratched. Xia Qing replied, "The leopards from the high mountain area have already come out to investigate. The helicopter radar has picked up two giant snow leopards. They are indeed quick, but they're far inferior to the Queen."

The Broken-Waist Wolf grinned, revealing its snow-white, adorable little fang tips; the lead wolf leaned forward and sniffed Xia Qing's badly injured face through the screen.

Xia Qing smiled and replied, "Don't worry, my Queen. The injuries on my face are all minor—they'll heal soon. The wolf pack's support isn't needed here. Guagua has already reached a consensus with the brain-domain evolved ravens in this area. As long as we don't hunt the animals here, we won't be attacked by the raptors."

Seeing that Xia Qing had finally hung up the phone, Wu Lianmin quickly turned his head, saw Xia Qing staring down searching for targets, and saw that his teammates were equally calm. He could only hold it in once more and continue carrying out his mission.

Xia Qing on the phone with the wolf pack leader? A trivial matter! Utterly commonplace!

"Master, your friend Daigua is calling via video. Do you accept?"

Hearing the voice from her Bluetooth earpiece, Xia Qing signaled Huo Zhun to keep a close eye on that mountain peak that had been strafed by machine-gun fire, then raised her phone again, "How did Daigua end up on the mountaintop? Isn't it cold?"

"Eh…" The little monkey, shivering from the cold, rotated the phone.

When the side profile of a giant bear appeared in the pale blue sky on the phone screen, even the well-seasoned Xia Qing was awestruck by the sight before her.

The small phone screen was filled with bear fur. Because the distance was so close, every single strand of mane on the screen was not only clearly distinguishable in the faint light—Xia Qing could even see them rise and fall subtly with the Xiong Wang's breathing.

Daigua, perched on the Xiong Wang's shoulder, moved the phone again and adjusted the focal length. The screen showed a stretch of azure sky, snow mist whipped up by the gale, and the giant bear's head gazing up at the sky. Because a wide-angle lens was used, the bear's head appeared somewhat distorted, but Xia Qing could still see through the lens the Xiong Wang's power and solemnity, and understood why the Xiong Wang had brought Daigua up to the mountaintop.
