Use Wits? The Toughest Rival in Love!

It made life unpleasant for Liu Xizhao that Leng Yehan exploded the affair publicly which Liu Xizhao had hidden for years. Pissed off by the affair, Xiao Lan went back to her parents' home with her daughter. With the mess caused by the Zhou family, Li Xizhao had been occupied and only spent 2 hours napping from last night to the next morning. He finally managed to block the the holes in the army and Section B till the next morning. But it was not easy for him to recover his ruined reputation. He also had to go to the formidable Xiao family to find his wife. At the thought of those matters, Liu Xizhao had a headache. He couldn't wait to have Yun Che and whoever caused this situation cut to death.

"Knock, knock…"

"Come in!"

There came a knock at the door. The exhausted Liu Xizhao who had spent a night in the office pressed his nose gently in the chair. Zhu Ping pushed the door open and walked in. "Sir, here's a message. A crowd of Peak members suddenly showed up, at least around 200 of them. They are all superfunction possessors of level 5. Yun Che, Leng Yehan and some other people who were registered as level-6 are now leve-6."

"What? How come they have so many high-level superfunction possessors?"

Upon hearing the message, Liu Xizhao, regardless of the fatigue, widened his eyes that almost dropped at any time. Currently, most superfunction possessors in the Capital Base were level-4 or level-5 and only a poorly small portion was level-6. Previously, Yun Che had only registered around 10 members. That was to say, ten of them were all level-6. But out of blue, 200 superfunction possessors of level 5 popped up. Damn it! They were actually waging wars against the first squads of all sections, weren't they?

"According to the messenger, those people have an accent of the southwest. Two hundred should be the real number of Peak members. I think they might have stayed in the Capital Base for a while but never show up until now. It's not hard to tell that Yun Che and his people have planned for a long time and waited for us to provide them with a platform to break down the Zhou family by one attack."

That platform was of course the wedding of Zhou Zhijun and Liu Yuan. If possible, Zhu Ping didn't want to mention the sore spot of the president. No one knew it more clearly than Zhu Ping did that Liu Xizhao was embattled enough. Especially, the major base commanders and representatives invited by Liu Xizhao still remained in the capital. If that was not handled properly, the president's dominance which was unstable because of the doomsday was likely to be shaken completely.

"Bloody hell!"

"Bang!"

Liu Xizhao punched the table out of anger. An intense murderous look showed in his sinister eyes. Without a doubt, if Yun Che and his people showed up in front of Liu Xizhao, he would probably jump onto them and bite them fiercely to death.

"Sir, please keep your shirt on. Don't forget that the base representatives are still in the capital. All major families seem to be up to something too."

Zhu Ping pushed his glasses up and persuaded Liu Xizhao peacefully. But it was too late to say anything. They had underestimated the capability of Yun Che and his people.

"I know."

Liu Xizhao almost gnashed his teeth when struggling to say those two words, with his head up and a stare at Zhu Ping with his sinister eyes. Liu Xizhao then leaned on the chair and took a deep breath with his eyes closed. It took him a while to regain his composure. "Ask those who keep an eye on Yun Che and his people to stay alert. Report to me immediately if anything happens. I've underestimated them and just regarded them as the superfunction squad with little connection with the Xing family. Unexpectedly, Senior Tan treats Yun Che as his grandson and Yun Che even has the whole Coast Base as his support. No, perhaps even the Southwest Base. If it's not because of the distance, his capability is way much stronger than any of us."

Liu Xizhao had to admit that Yun Che already had the ability to confront him, even though he was reluctant to admit that.

"Sir, I'm afraid we've got more concerns. Yun Che has the secret of plantation. Yun Cheng is a research talent. The Xing, Ye and Shu families support them because of Xing Feng and Ye Xingchen. It's also said that Jiang Shang is the eldest son of the captain of Dragon Squad which ranks first in Section D. All those are Yun Che's back. It's impossible for us to attack them. We can only use wits."

Apparently, Liu Xizhao didn't have the upper hand in terms of force.

"We got one more. Leng Yehan. He's not only my evil son but the only heir of the Xing family."

Saying that, Liu Xizhao couldn't help getting mad again. If it wasn't because of that bloody brat, how would Liu Xizhao end up like that? Now that his image as a good man collapsed totally, the Xiao family must have strong opinion on him. It was known as a tough family. Chances were Liu Xizhao got kicked out by Senior Xiao before stepping in the Xiao family.

"What?"

Zhu Ping's pupils shrank. He didn't even dream about that. Then he recalled that they had forced the Leng family to give the army to them. Before the doomsday, officers of all ranks had remained in their original positions so as not to bring disharmony to the army. They had just put some trusted subordinates in the army. After the doomsday, they failed to change the officers even they wanted. Fortunately, Zhou Zhijun showed up, but… Now the Zhou family was gone and the heir of the Leng family was back… Zhu Ping didn't dare to think any further. If Leng Yehan begged the officers, Leng Xizhao might lose the whole army.

"Ask the detectives in the army to keep an eye on the officers' movements. Report to me if anything goes wrong. We can never ever lose the army."

How wouldn't Liu Xizhao know what was in Zhu Ping's mind? However, since Leng Yehan was back now and the officers might have heard the news, the only thing Liu Xizhao could do now was to stop Leng Yehan and the officers from meeting by all means. Even if Liu Xizhao would lose the army, he owned some policemen whose number was not less than that of the army. But he was not stupid. The major families wouldn't allow him to be the president forever. One day, they might propose an election. Once he was not a president, the policemen were of course not likely to be in the charge of Liu Xizhao. Therefore, he had to grasp the army tightly.

"Okay, I know what to do."

Zhu Ping nodded after he regained the composure. After that, the two men discussed a lot about how to reassure people and save the image. But in the Villa Section in Section C, Yun Che and his people were also discussing about how to overthrow the Liu family. Mo Wenyang's suggestion seemed to be approved by everyone, except Yun Che who didn't take a stand right away. He was lost in thoughts, rubbing his jaw.

"Actually, have you guys ever thought about doing two things at a time. We can try to overthrow Liu Xizhao when Yehan tries to contact the ex-subordinates of General Leng. Probably, they're willing to support Yehan?"

Tan Weiye attempted to suggest after a few minutes.

"Yehan proposed that long time ago."

Yun Che had turned Leng Yehan down at that time but didn't agree this time either, even though Leng Yehan had exposed his own identity.

"It depends on you. Are you gonna say no?"

Tan Weiye absolutely admired Yun Che from the heart but didn't understand why Yun Che rejected that good suggestion.

"No, Yehan is our family not subordinate. I'm not gonna let him go ask for an insult. Chances are those generals would remember the grace of the Leng family. But it's after the doomsday now. There's no such grace as important as life. At least before we show our absolute overwhelming ability, they wouldn't take it into account easily. To go find them will ask for an insult for Yehan."

No one knew the rules after the doomsday more clearly than Yun Che. If the generals were grateful, they should have come for Leng Yehan after his appearance yesterday. But they hadn't come till now, which was enough to prove their attitude.

"My brother is right. We'll go find them. Probably, they would have an illusion that they were important. Although they're indeed very important, we don't need those who are likely to act against us anytime and have a proud characteristic. As our subordinates, they must obey and be loyal without preconditions."

Yun Che added calmly. Leng Yehan was his man, so he was unwilling to see him insulted.

"I'm with Che and Cheng. Even if we want to conquer that army, they must be the ones who come for us. But since we think about finding them, Liu Xizhao should be able to think about that too. And he would be more nervous than us. It's likely that he has never trusted those people wholeheartedly. He may eliminate the generals sooner or later. Mingxuan, you can collect some evidence of that. If my assumption is correct, we only have to show the evidence to the generals. Then we may be able to conquer them without any effort."

Even though Xing Feng had been away from the army for years, he was still rather sensitive about that thing.

"Can I do that?"

Before Gu Mingxuan answered, Fei Ye interrupted lazily who had been silent. Fei Ye was only interested in Yun Che's business. Since Yun Che aimed at eliminating Liu Xizhao, Fei Ye would spare no effort to help him.

"Can you? As the captain of a superfunction squad? How much longer are you gonna stay at our home?"

Whenever Fei Ye spoke, Xing Feng usually talked back. He did that again even though he knew that Fei Ye was more capable of that since he was good at face shifting.

"Feng, don't look down upon me. If I can't even handle such a small thing, how would I not feel embarrassed to stay here? You should know that I'm gonna stay here forever."

Great then. He was not afraid of trouble. Whatever Xing Feng hated to hear, he would say that. The two men were tit for tat. Once they started an argument, it was definitely a furious one. Yun Che rolled his eyes powerlessly. Before Xing Feng retorted, Yun Che said, "You sure? You're gonna give up Overrun Squad?"

"How could that be possible? That's a force too, isn't it? Don't worry. Isn't it as easy as drinking and eating for me to shift faces?"

With Yun Che here, Fei Ye decisively abandoned Xing Feng and ignored his eye wave attack automatically. Xing Feng was so pissed off that he wished to throw a knife at him.

"Okay. You're in charge then."

After a while of pondering, Yun Che made up his mind decisively. Fei Ye threw an extremely luring smile at him before leaning against the sofa lazily again. Xing Feng was almost dazzled by his smile. If Yun Che didn't stop Xing Feng, Xing Feng might have thrown a knife at Fei Ye. Damn it. How dare Fei Ye say he had no interest in Yun Che. Apart from Yun Che, whom had Fei Ye ever smiled so lustfully at?

Alright, Xing Feng had affirmed that Fei Ye was the toughest rival in love. Therefore, no matter what Fei Ye did, even a random wink, that would be flirting in Xing Feng's eyes.

"I'll go visit Shao Ting. Would you like to go with me?"

Since the topic was nearly at an end, Mo Wenyang suddenly stretched his body and stood up. Tan Weiye frowned imperceptibly. With strong jealousy rising, Tan Weiye sighed instead, "Since we're back, we should go visit them."

Not only Shao Ting but all the people who had died in that incident were Xing Feng's brothers though, they were enemies for Tan Weiye. But they were not the real ones for him. Strictly speaking, they were comrades in arms. The competition between them had always been benign ones.

"Let's go together."

Xing Feng stood up too. He had never visited them in the last six years. It was really high time for him to face the reality.
