Chapter 348 - The So-called Game
Chapter 348 The So-called Game
The war between women could never be as fierce as the men’s fight with the fist on the flesh. But its forms were more colorful, like the words contending on different occasions, the direct and indirect harm in all corners, the understated sarcasm…
Even if two gorgeous and extraordinary women were pulling each other’s hair and ears, it would be a rare attractive sight. This was f*cking lively, or why would the ratings of some palace dramas be far more than a war drama in recent years? The ratings that were constantly rising were not all contributed by the aunts and sisters, for many of men were also very fond of this.
Lin Youxian was such a man.
He liked a lively scene.
At present, the battle between Dongcheng Rushi and Wang Yuetong seemed to have just begun. But it was enough to make him excited. He and Yu Donglai were sitting in the corner of the hall, and they quit playing chess. He looked around and found there were no snacks around. He lit a cigarette at will and looked at Dongcheng Rushi and Wang Yuetong confronting each other. He was gloating over them and whispering, “Don’t give her, don’t give her, don’t give her…”
Yu Donglai shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The old man was elder and had little interest in watching the fun. He had already wondered if he would go upstairs and take out Li Tianlan, who had slept for two days.
Silent confrontation in front of the TV was still going on.
Wang Yuetong maintained her position of reaching out and became calmer. “Give it to me.”
Dongcheng Rushi looked up at Wang Yuetong. Her eyes were clear and watery. And she subconsciously clasped the remote control in her small hand.
Wang Yuetong did not ask her to be quicker but just stretched out her hand and waited quietly. However, no one doubted that she would be savage when she was impatient. She was now a young elite who had not yet entered the Fire-flaming Realm. Facing Dongcheng Rushi in the Thunder-shocking Realm, she had a far more inferior battle strength. But as the two women owning the same man, Martial Arts and realm were actually nothing.
Dongcheng Rushi hesitated for a moment and pursed her lips. Then she handed the remote control to Wang Yuetong.
Her expression was not wronged, not angry, just clear and faint. She just watched the other quietly.
Wang Yuetong took over the remote control with a lot of buttons and aimed it at the TV.
The so-called TV, in fact, was a giant screen that was almost beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Its size was almost the same as the sum of two giant screens in the cinema. The screen occupied the front wall of the lobby on the first floor. It almost had an exaggerated domineering status.
This was what Wang Yuetong personally ordered people to install here three years ago. It was installed under the specifications of the Beihai Province Police Command Center, so all functions were available. The TV broadcast function was just the tip of the iceberg.
Wang Yuetong pressed a few buttons.
The cat and mouse scene that occupied the entire wall began to shrink.
The giant screen might look very comfortable, but it was difficult for eyes to watch it for a long time. Wang Yuetong adjusted the picture to a more comfortable scale and re-delivered the remote control to Dongcheng Rushi. She asked, “Isn’t it better now?”
Dongcheng Rushi blankly took over the remote control in her hand and cleverly said, “Thank you.”
“Tianlan should wake up at night. I plan to make him dinner. Let’s buy something together.”
Wang Yuetong continued to speak. Her tone was still neither cold nor warm, without goodwill or viciousness.
“Okay.”
Sitting on the sofa, Dongcheng Rushi seemed to have instinctively made a defensive posture, with her hands wrapped around her slim and straight legs.
“I want Tianlan to accompany me tonight.”
Wang Yuetong took an arrogant look at Dongcheng Rushi.
Silence.
If she did not break out in silence, she would die in silence.
Dongcheng Rushi did not break out. She held her legs silently and looked like a punching bag.
“Oh,” she said, bowing her head.
Wang Yuetong’s eyes fluctuated a bit and her tone eased unconsciously. “I heard that you and Tianlan were born on the same day of the same month in the same year?”
For Dongcheng Rushi, this was a very happy thing.
Her expression was a little joyful and her face was smiling. She admitted it, saying, “Yeah.”
However, Wang Yuetong did not let her be happy for a long time. “I am older than you, so you should call me sister in the future.”
Dongcheng Rushi had shown some happiness on her little face and then her face became stiff. She looked at Wang Yuetong quietly.
“And I went to bed with him. I am a sister in every aspect.”
Wang Yuetong looked straight into the eyes of Dongcheng Rushi.
“Sister.”
After a long time, Dongcheng Rushi said it softly and then turned her head, subconsciously pouting.
Wang Yuetong nodded. “I am going to change clothes. Let’s go shopping together.”
She turned and walked into the elevator.
Finished?
That was it?
Lin Youxian, who was still waiting for the show, felt confused.
There were no quarrels, no jealousy, no fights.
One attacked powerfully while the other swallowed the grievances.
They became sisters.
Was this going to be a scene of sisters with love?
As an onlooker, Lin Youxian could not accept it.
It was absolutely unacceptable.
Dongcheng Rushi was not like a person who would be slain mentally by people.
“What is going on here?”
Lin Youxian looked depressed and disappointed.
“It’s a good thing.”
Yu Donglai laughed and fiddled with the chessboard. “Boy, do you want to go on?” “You are going to lose this game.”
“It is really a good thing.”
Lin Youxian nodded. “But I still have to ask.”
He hesitated, regardless of the stare of Yu Donglai, and walked over with a smile.
Dongcheng Rushi still lay on the sofa, watching the “Tom and Jerry”, whose picture had narrowed down to a very comfortable size. Her eyes were clear. She seemed to have forgotten the grievances just now. The corners of her mouth slightly curved, as if she was laughing.
Lin Youxian came over and sat on the sofa on the other side. He looked at Dongcheng Rushi and laughed very viciously.
“Well.”
He took the initiative to speak.
Dongcheng Rushi turned to look at him.
“You can’t bear it.”
Lin Youxian slapped his thigh and showed deep hatred. He was indeed a jerk, trying to make conflicts between them. “How could you call her sister?”
He was telling the truth.
Dongcheng Rushi was Li Tianlan’s fiancée, and both families fully recognized them. The result was that Qin Weibai first got his heart, so she must call Qin Weibai sister. No one would feel embarrassed about being defeated by Qin Weibai. Now there was another woman, Wang Yuetong, who she should call sister. How wronged would she feel in her heart?
She should not stand it…
“You don’t like her?” Dongcheng Rushi asked, looking at Lin Youxian.
“It’s not a matter of liking her or not. This is your family chore. Although Lin Clan and the Wang family of Beihai have a good relationship, now the position of Lin Clan is clear and I am not familiar with Yuetong. I have never seen her before. I have seen her brother once. So if you really want me to say who I prefer, I will definitely support you. She should call you sister,” Lin Youxian said helplessly.
“Whatever.”
Dongcheng Rushi’s word was light and clear, without any emotions.
“You do not feel wronged?”
Lin Youxian looked curious.
“Not quite.”
Dongcheng Rushi thought about it and whispered, “Tianlan should be happy with me like that.”
Lin Youxian was stunned, and for a time, he did not know what to say.
Wang Yuetong, who had ignored Dongcheng Rushi, took the initiative to open her mouth.
Dongcheng Rushi was well-behaved to call her sister.
All of this, without a doubt, was that the two women wanted to make their man happy.
Lin Youxian suddenly lost interest in watching the fun.
He suddenly felt some envy.
He envied Li Tianlan’s blessing.
Dongcheng Rushi sat up straight with her legs crossed, holding a pillow. She stared seriously at the screen in front of her, but her eyes had no focus.
She thought of a lot of things.
She thought of Li Tianlan, who she had heard a lot since childhood.
Li Tianlan was the perfect one who lived in her heart.
Everyone had been emphasizing his identity as the fiancé.
Her grandpa said that he was destined to be an amazing man in the future, just like Wang Tianzong and even like the excellent ancestor of the Wang family of Beihai.
Her father said that the Dongcheng Clan owed him too much.
In her memory, it seemed that only her mother had said something different.
Her mother said that she would be Li Tianlan’s wife in the future, so she could ignore the debt.
She just hoped that when they were together, she would not forget that the man, who had become her husband, had taken on a lot of things that should have been borne by her.
Or it could be the responsibility.
Youzhou.
The building of the Army Headquarters.
When Dongcheng Wudi, Minister of Army Headquarters, angrily threw the document in his hand on the office desk, Lieutenant General Bai Qingzhao, Deputy Secretary-general of Army Headquarters, was sitting opposite him and drinking tea with a smile.
Bai Qingzhao was the backbone of the Giant Group. He was the eldest son of Bai Zhanfang, Patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Qingqian’s biological elder brother, and the brother-in-law of Dongcheng Wudi. He was the deputy commander of the Central Theater of Operations. Two years ago, Dongcheng Wudi entered Army Headquarters from the Border Control Corps. After that, the Giant Group almost exclusively used resources to transfer Bai Qingzhao to the post of deputy secretary-general of Army Headquarters.
The deputy commander of a theatre of operations and the deputy secretary-general of Army Headquarters seemed to be similar. It could only be regarded as a small promotion. But the actual meaning was completely different.
The president of Zhongzhou State also served as the minister of Army Headquarters. However, he rarely interfered in the daily work of Army Headquarters. The daily work of Army Headquarters was presided over by the executive minister. In Army Headquarters, the secretary-general without the rank of marshal could best balance the role of the minister rather than the two deputy ministers.
So two years ago, even Qi Beicang, the flag leader of the Special Warfare Group, had retired from the position of the executive minister. However, the secretary-general was still in office. So the strength of the Special Warfare Group did not decrease a lot. Instead, because of Qi Beicang’s retirement, it got a lot of benefits out of no reason. Then Dongcheng Wudi had control over Army Headquarters. After one term, it was necessary to replace the secretary-general with a familiar person. This was the beginning of Dongcheng Wudi’s establishing authority in the military.
Bai Qingzhao was the only candidate for the secretary-general. It could be said that he was one of the most trustworthy people for Dongcheng Wudi.
“What happened?”
Bai Qingzhao glanced at the document that Dongcheng Wudi had thrown on the table. He picked it up and said with a smile.
“Read it by yourself.”
Dongcheng Wudi bit his teeth and his expression was gloomy and angry. He shouted and cursed, “Shameless! A group of idiots!”
Dongcheng Wudi had rarely completely forgotten himself. But he did so in the face of Bai Qingzhao, who was absolutely trusted. His performance was somewhat outrageous.
Bai Qingzhao raised his eyebrows and quietly looked at the document that Dongcheng Wudi had thrown on the table.
The document was sent by the secretary of Dongcheng Wudi a few minutes ago. The two did not take it seriously at first. No one had predicted that Dongcheng Wudi directly became angry after a scan. Bai Qingzhao simply could not think of any major event in the military that could make Dongcheng Wudi misbehave like that.
The document was very thin and had only four or five pages with the cover.
Bai Qingzhao glanced at the cover and subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
On the cover was a pale gold city built between two snow peaks, majestic and heavy.
This was the emblem of Kunlun City. Did that mean this was the document from Kunlun City?
Bai Qingzhao seemed to think of something and directly opened the file.
He hurriedly scanned it, and his expression changed suddenly.
The content of the document was not complicated and was even very simple.
This was about the maneuver of the Sky Academy and the Deep-sea Academy at the end of the month.
Kunlun City officially approved the maneuver application of the two academies and approved the maneuver rules of the two as well as the order of the maneuver.
At the end of the document were the seals of Kunlun City, the Office of the President, and the Cabinet.
This showed that both the president and the prime minister had already approved the document.
“They’re going too far!”
Bai Qingzhao bit his teeth and suppressed the anger in his sound.
However, Dongcheng Wudi calmed down.
He took over the document again and carefully scanned it. He left the document on the table, and his eyes looked cold.
“What do you think?”
Bai Qingzhao was silent for a while and then asked in a low voice.
Dongcheng Wudi shook his head with a sneer.
“Tianlan has grown too fast. The Li family’s resurgence has made some people unable to sit still. So they could not help but use a cruel method of making such maneuver rules. Kunlun City and the Wang family of Beihai are really tacit.”
“Is there any chance of changing it?” Bai Qingzhao asked in a low voice.
As soon as he spoke, he shook his head first and smiled bitterly.
If there was really a chance of changing it, how could Dongcheng Wudi be so rude?
“No matter what they plan to do in private, at least they must obey the rules,” Dongcheng Wudi said.
“The president…”
Bai Qingzhao hesitated.
“He can’t wait for Kunlun City to do this!”
Dongcheng Wudi sneered and felt somewhat displeased. “The Academics are just taking advantage of this opportunity to bring us closer to them. Kunlun City did conform to the rules, but it broke the hidden rules. Under this situation, if I want to do something, I can only ignore the rules. If the Giant Group is not strong enough, it must ask for help from the Academics. This kind of thing is only good for the Academics. And this is not what they did. We can’t hate them. The Academics just pushed the boat with the current and the president certainly agreed!”
Bai Qingzhao stayed silent.
“What are you going to do?” he slowly asked, after a long time.
“Do I have a choice?”
Dongcheng Wudi calmly said, “This is the situation. I can only proceed without a plan. Kunlun City destroyed the rules. I can only ignore the rules, or what else can I do?”
He looked at Bai Qingzhao and smiled slightly. If he really did nothing this time, then the Bai family and the Dongcheng Clan might really have to break completely.
“Fortunately, we are not completely unprepared.” “Wantian has already gone to the Eastern Theater of Operations. Isn’t it the method against Kunlun City?” Dongcheng Wudi said softly.
“In this case, we really can’t keep the Border Control Corps.”
Bai Qingzhao frowned.
“Something must be traded.”
Dongcheng Wudi took a deep breath and bit his teeth. Then he calmly picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The phone was quickly connected, and a low voice sounded at the other end of the line.
“Zhiyuan, this is Dongcheng Wudi. How is the scenery in Tiannan?”
Dongcheng Wudi put on a smile.
He did not call Wang Wantian, the current commander of the Eastern Theater of Operations, but called the former commander Ning Zhiyuan.
All in all, the Dongcheng Clan had already prepared before the start of the Youzhou Conference.
Ning Zhiyuan was transferred to Tiannan.
Wang Wantian was transferred to the Eastern Theater of Operations.
These were parts of the preparation.
So now Dongcheng Wudi was angry, but he was not flustered.
The so-called game, no matter how complicated it was, was nothing more than tackling problems.
