CHAPTER 1054: CHAPTER 1054: LIKE YOU, SUCH A BASTARD (10)

The blue light from the automatic vending machine reflected the other’s face, half of which was still pretty, while the other half was covered with hideous dark red marks, as ugly as a ghost. Chu Xinqing’s heart tightened, and she just stared blankly at that face, then screamed.

The scream had only half emerged when the fingers around her neck tightened, the remaining scream strangled in her throat. Her head was then slammed against the vending machine, her vision went dark, and Chu Xinqing’s head drooped powerlessly.

"Hmph!" Under the light of the streetlamp, Qian Xueying’s eyes flashed with a hint of jealousy as she glanced at Chu Xinqing’s pretty face. She raised her hand and pushed Chu Xinqing into her subordinate’s arms, "Take her to the car!"

The subordinate picked up Chu Xinqing, tucked her under his arm, and Qian Xueying grabbed the bag that Chu Xinqing had dropped on the ground.

The two of them returned to the car. The driver shoved Chu Xinqing into the back seat, and Qian Xueying sat on the other side, rifling through Chu Xinqing’s bag until she found her phone.

Seeing the close-up photo of Chu Xinqing with Qiao Liang on the screen, Qian Xueying sneered coldly.

...

...

Eastern territorial waters of F Country.

On the large warship, the navy men were laughing heartily, raising their drinks on the deck, dancing and joking.

On the large balcony on the second floor, General Yuri held a glass of fine red wine, smiling as he watched his soldiers below.

Beside him stood the staff sent from the Royal Palace.

This time, the staff member was here on Gan Yuan’s orders, to personally deliver her command to Yuri, instructing him to immediately move the fleet into the territorial waters of the temporary Northwest province to coordinate with other teams in forming a siege around the province.

Having listened to the special envoy read Gan Yuan’s orders, Yuri’s face still bore a lazy expression.

"Alright, you can go back and inform Her Highness the Princess that... after we complete this exercise, we will immediately head to the Northwest."

Exercise?!

The staff member from the Royal Palace looked at the reveling navy below.

Is this an exercise?

"General Yuri!" The assistant who had come with the staff member stepped forward displeased, "I must remind you, this is an order jointly issued by Parliament and Her Highness the Princess. If you do not execute it immediately, you are disobeying military orders, and we have the right to bring you to a military court!"

"Oh..." Yuri turned his face, smiling at the assistant, "You’re talking about a military court, right?"

He was smiling, but the look in his eyes was cold as ice.

A mere underling daring to shout at him like this?!

Beside him, several subordinates had already raised their guns, all aimed at the assistant.

"You all... you..."

The assistant broke out in a cold sweat immediately.

Sensing his displeasure, the special envoy hurriedly pushed the assistant aside, stepping forward to stand before Yuri.

This was the sea, on Yuri’s ship, where Yuri was the master. If he really turned hostile and threw them into the sea to feed the fish, who could uncover the truth later if he found an excuse like a plane accident or something else?

"General Yuri, now is a time of national peril!" the special envoy pleaded sincerely, "I hope you can consider the bigger picture!"

"The bigger picture?" Yuri handed the glass of red wine to his subordinate next to him, "The bigger picture is that my soldiers have just completed a live-fire exercise and haven’t rested for two days and nights. Now they need a good night’s rest."
