The Decision of Going to the Coast & Xing Feng’s Marriage Arrangement

"Che, would you please be honest? I'm not an idiot."

Gu Mingxuan looked at Yun Che bitterly. He knew his boss wouldn't tell him anything, so he was on his own to find out the truth.

"To help alleviate the suffering of disaster victims. I'm telling you the truth."

Yun Che didn't change his answer. When Gu Mingxuan tried to push again, Yun Che continued, "Well, you're right. I do need something from the coastal area. When the snow stops, all kinds of creatures will level up, but there is still some time before they become too scary. If I don't go there now, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."

Yun Che gave an ambiguous answer. Actually, he had several reasons to travel to the coast. Firstly, it had been a while, but the sea in his Space had not been unlocked yet. He planned to get some seawater and ocean lives to put in the Space, hoping to unlock the sea function. Secondly, he was curious about the troops in the coastal area. As the doomsday continued, more and more bases would become disloyal to the capital. But in his previous life, the coastal base was the only base that had openly separated itself from the capital authorities before he died. He figured he should go there to take a look. Maybe he would find something useful. Finally, there was the energy bar production equipment. He had done some research on the internet and found that there were small workshops all over the country, but only the coastal area had a large foreign-owned energy bar production factory. He wanted to get the best energy bar production equipment, as Heiyu deserved the best.

"The troop stationed in the coastal base is 007 Group Army, right? Who's the commander?"

Xing Feng had figured out Yun's intention. Since Yun Che wanted to go there, Xing Feng decided to travel with him. They already took over the Superfunction Association, and they would have the laboratory soon. It was about time for him to take a break.

"You might not believe this, but the commander of the coastal base is our former leader, Tan Jianting. Tan Weiye is a major general now."

Gu Mingxuan stopped badgering Yun Che and said to Xing Feng. Admiral Tan Jianting used to be their chief of staff. When they were eighteen, Tan's son and daughter-in-law were killed in a terrorist attack overseas. Devastated, Tan Jianting requested a transfer to Hanghai City. His only grandson, Tan Weiye, also went there with him. Both of the Tans stepped out of the bigwig circle of the capital. It had been almost seven years since they last met.

"I guess I should pay a visit to Admiral Tan, then. Prepare some supplies for me. I want to give him a big gift."

Xing Feng said with a smile. He only respected a few people in the army, and Tan Jianting was one of them. Tan Weiye could count as half. With them being there, Xing Feng believed the coastal base would get through this disaster.

"Okay. Since you've already made up your mind, I won't try to stop you. But before you leave for the coast, you have to settle the laboratory thing. Today is the first day, but things already become so messed up. It might get worse in the future. We need to start the research and develop the antidote, nutrients, and the crystal nucleus ammo as soon as possible. Also, you can't take Wenqing or Fang Rui. They're staying to help me."

Knowing that Xing Feng would indulge Yun Che no matter what, Gu Mingxuan didn't even bother to complain. He only made two demands. Yu Wenqing was an expert on electronic technology, and Fang Rui was an expert on weapons. He would need their expertise after officially taking over the laboratory.

"Uh-huh. I'll bring someone else, but we don't have to decide right now." Xing Feng said to Gu Mingxuan before he turned to Yun Che, "Are we flying a plane there?"

The southwest was an inland region, far from the coast. Going there by plane was their only option.

"Sure. But I wouldn't mind if you could get there by driving a car."

This heavy snowfall would last three days, and the snow on the ground would be at least a foot deep. Inside the base, it would be fine, but outside, it would be impossible to walk, not to mention driving.

"I'll borrow a cargo jet from Wenyang then."

From his cunning look, Xing Feng knew there was no point in making a bet with him. Besides, Xing Feng didn't mind letting him call the shots sometimes, as long as he was obedient in bed.

"Master, what are you talking about?"

Heiyu, who popped out of nowhere, jumped on Yun's thigh, chewing something in his mouth, which probably was a stick of roast meat.

"What do you think we're talking about? We're planning to get some production equipment for you. Don't you want it?"

"Of course, I do!"

Upon hearing that, Heiyu became thrilled immediately, "You're the master of the year! When will we be leaving? I've asked Wenqing to look it up for me. The raw materials for energy bars can be grown. I found quite a few on the mountain, and I already enclosed them. Everything is ready except for the production equipment."

In order to have sufficient energy bars in the future, he had badgered Yu Wenqing to do a lot of research for him.

"In a few days, at least wait until the snow stops," said Yun Che with an earnest look.

It was rare to see Yun Che have a serious conversation with his beast without teasing the latter. Xing Feng smiled involuntarily before he looked down to read the file Gu Mingxuan had brought to him. The file was a report on casualties caused by this snowfall in each base. The capital base, which had the largest population, lost several thousand people within a day. The northeast base also had a large number of casualties. It seemed that the southwest base was the base that had the least losses.

"Did you tell the old man about the Blood Vine?"

In his family, Xing Feng cared about nobody but his grandfather. When Yun Che decided to make the function of the Blood Vine public, Xing Feng asked Gu Mingxuan to send a few photos and a detailed introduction to his grandfather with Yun's permission."

"Uh-huh. He asked me when you would go home, saying that if you continue to stay here, he'll come and get you personally."

Speaking of the old man, Gu Mingxuan smiled bitterly. The relationship between Xing Feng and his grandfather was always awkward. Instead of talking directly to each other, they always forced Gu Mingxuan to be their messenger. Gu Mingxuan didn't mind being a messenger, but the thing was that the old man always falsely claimed that he was severely ill or complained about his grandson for not caring about him enough. At first, both Gu Mingxuan and Xing Feng would be worried after hearing the bad news. However, when they rushed back, they saw a healthy and energetic man having fun with his comrades. After the same thing happened a few times, Xing Feng forbade him to report anything about the old man, and Gu Mingxuan no longer trusted the old man, either. Nevertheless, Gu Mingxuan still needed to listen to the old man's nagging on the phone, which could last more than half an hour each time. Thanks to the doomsday, the old man got back in the field, and Gu Mingxuan finally got some peace. However, when he contacted the old man earlier today, he had to experience the torture again. Even now, he felt like he could still hear the old man nagging upon his ear.

"Don't say it like he can actually come here. That family can't live without him."

When Xing Feng said that, his expression looked like he was talking about a stranger, despite that he was the most favored person in the Xing family. This just seemed weird.

"Uh-huh. There's something you might want to know. Your father is trying to set you up with a woman. I think her name is Zhou something. Your grandfather didn't tell me much, but from his tone, I think he despises that woman."

"Zhou?"

Yun Che, who was chatting with Heiyu, leaned over immediately. This surname was too sensitive for him to miss. A woman named Zhou something in the capital? Could she be Zhou Ting?

Xing Feng wasn't quite interested in this topic initially, but when he saw the look on Yun's face, he knew the latter had connected it to Zhou Zhijun. Xing Feng frowned involuntarily. It wouldn't be a surprise if his father tried to set him up with Zhou Zhijun's sister. Earlier, after Yun Che told him about Zhou Zhijun's relationship with Yun Yao, he ran an investigation on Zhou Zhijun. Before the doomsday started, Zhou Zhijun was a colonel officer. When the doomsday was happening, he led his regiment to join the construction of the base immediately and made a lot of contributions. After the construction of the capital base, the military promoted him as a major general. Later, words had it that the head of the state's daughter took a fancy to him, and his family soared up the social ladder instantly. Although its foundation was not as solid as the old noble clan, his family was the most prominent upstart in the doomsday.

Xing Feng's dad was an opportunistic man who always did things that he and his grandfather would despise. It wouldn't be a surprise if his father tried to associate with the Zhou clan, who currently had a prominent social status. However, Xing Feng didn't expect his father to use his marriage as a means. It seemed that his father had forgot what he did to the Long family in the past.

"Look into it."

"Excuse me?"

Gu Mingxuan was surprised. In the past, even if his grandfather tried to set him up with someone, he wouldn't give a damn.

"Zhou Zhijun is my brother-in-law. Run an investigation and see if the woman is his sister, Zhou Ting."

Yun Che lowered his voice and said, glancing at his sister, who was delightedly chatting with others with Chenchen in her arms. If the woman was Zhou Ting, things would be interesting. In his previous life, Zhou Ting hooked up with Han Mingzhe behind his back. Yun Che didn't want to hold anyone responsible for that. He only blamed himself for trusting the wrong person. However, if this woman dared to get near his beloved in this life, he would make her pay for what she had done.

"Okay."

He was Yun Che's brother-in-law. In other words, he was Yun Yao's…

Gu Mingxuan narrowed his eyes. He knew who Zhou Zhijun was, but he didn't know that Zhou was Yun Yao's husband. Damn it! All the intel he had collected described Zhou Zhijun as a talented man with a lot of merits. But it turned out that Zhou was just a jerk who had abandoned his wife and child. Yun Yao should never have married him.

"Thank you. I'll leave you two to get to the details."

With a nod, Yun Che rose to his feet and walked towards his sister with Heiyu in his arms. Watching his back, Xing Feng said in a low voice, "Zhou family always look down upon Yun Yao. After Doomsday…"

He repeated what Yun Che had told him. Of course, he only repeated the part that was related to Yun Yao and Zhou Zhijun. As for the part about Yun Che, he believed it was not his secret to tell.

"Damn!"

Gu Mingxuan was not a rude man. On the contrary, he always behaved like a gentleman, at least superficially. Nevertheless, when he knew how Zhou Zhijun and his family had treated Yun Yao and her son in the past, he couldn't help but curse with rage in his eyes. How dare they do that to the woman he had been secretly in love with? This wasn't over yet. He must find a way to take revenge for Yun Yao.

"You look like you're going to bite someone. Calm down. About the Zhou family, Che wants to take care of it personally. We'd better stay out of it. I'm sure they'll be sorry sooner or later."

Leaning against the chair, Xing Feng glanced at Gu Mingxuan and said. And then, he narrowed his eyes to look at Yun Che. Even if Zhou Zhijun had married the head of the state's daughter, they would make him regret it someday.

"Uh-huh."

After remaining silent for a while, Gu Mingxuan nodded. He took a deep breath, trying to force himself to calm down, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for Yun Yao and her child. In his eyes, Yun Yao was perfect. And everyone liked Chenchen, who was adorable. How could Chenchen's father have the heart to walk away from them? He knew that Chenchen's father was probably alive, but it had never occurred to him that Chenchen's father was Zhou Zhijun. Nor did he know that their story was so tragic.
