Chapter 200 - 120: Bloody Ear_5

In the center of the Grandmaster-level beasts, the pressure he endured was already at its peak.

...

Zhao Qi Corps meeting room!

After the meeting, Xu Baiyan sat in silence, staring blankly.

Although her face was expressionless, she was already trying hard to hold back her tears!

Su Yue’s life paper was placed right in front of her; she wanted to look at it but dared not.

She feared that in the next moment, this life paper would directly shatter.

Xu Baiyan was accustomed to violence; she didn’t know how to cherish a brother, so their first meeting was unpleasant.

Watching Su Yue grow to such an extent, she was happy and proud for her brother.

But who knew, out of the blue, something so horrible would happen.

Everyone else returned, except for Su Yue.

How could this be?

Where on earth is Su Yue? Clearly, he is still alive.

"Brother, back then, you really should have lived peacefully, as an ordinary person. I’m sorry, it’s my fault for harming you, I’m sorry!

"Brother, I’ve wronged you, and I’ve wronged Dad too!"

After who knows how long, Xu Baiyan lowered her head, lying on the table, starting to sob softly!

Thinking of Su Qingfeng, Xu Baiyan felt even more suffocated with guilt.

Wang Mingqi’s injuries were too severe, and he had already been transported back to the hospital for treatment.

Outside the meeting room, Liu Guoli looked at Xu Baiyan, unsure of what he felt inside.

He wanted to go in and comfort Xu Baiyan, but didn’t know how to start the conversation.

After all, the one missing isn’t his brother, saying more would only be empty words.

The only good news now is that Su Yue is still alive.

"Are you Liu Guoli? I’m Du Jing’s Book’s uncle, can I ask you something?"

At this moment, a rank-five elder walked over and said to Liu Guoli.

"Go ahead!"

Liu Guoli was taken aback.

Isn’t Du Jing’s Book safe?

What sort of question could there be?

"Was Du Jing’s Book fully involved in your operation too?"

The elder asked with a smile in a very casual tone, as if chatting in a park.

"He hired our squad for training in the First Battlefield, and then we were captured by the Yangxiang Race in Zone Five, in the cave, it was Xu Baiyan’s brother Su Yue who saved us, including Du Jing’s Book!

"I, Xu Baiyan, and Wang Mingqi fought fiercely to protect Du Jing’s Book and get him out. After leaving the cave, perhaps due to excessive fright, Du Jing’s Book just fainted right away.

"By the way, sir, are you here to compensate us with money?

"No need; after all, we’ve shared adversities. Even though rescuing Du Jing’s Book was risky, it’s something we seniors should do, especially Su Yue... he left the best chance to escape for Du Jing’s Book, yet he... sigh..."

Liu Guoli’s eyes were tinged with red as he spoke.

Old bone.

Trying to pry more words from me?

"Money... our Du Family will certainly compensate everyone, that’s only proper.

"I want to ask whether, during your fight with the Yangxiang Race, Du Jing’s Book participated in the battle; after all, he enjoys fighting aliens from a young age!"

The elder frowned and asked again.

No paying you with money; I’m calculating merits for Du Jing’s Book.

Despite being unconscious, there wasn’t a trace of alien blood on him, clearly making it hard to count his merits.

The Du Family wouldn’t let such a rare chance slip away.

"Ah... Du Jing’s Book indeed said he wanted to kill aliens in the cave.

"But just as he escaped to the mouth of the cave, at the first sight of a real alien, he fainted immediately!

"Fortunately, Xu Baiyan quickly reported for help, letting us await Zhao Qi Corps’ personnel. You should actually thank Xu Baiyan more; he and Su Yue are Du Jing’s Book’s greatest benefactors!"

Liu Guoli spoke with a completely sincere look on his face.

Humph!

Teased Su Yue all the way, fainted right after stepping out, now coming to claim credit?

If this credit goes to Du Jing’s Book, how do I face Su Yue, how do I face Xu Baiyan?

"Elder Du, you heard it, Du Jing’s Book was unconscious the whole time, let’s leave it at that, don’t ask more, after all, he’s just a second-rank Qi and Blood Martial Artist, don’t think too much!"

At this moment, an officer walked over.

"By the way, do you know about the whereabouts of Du Jing’s Book’s Ning Beast waist pouch?"

The elder suddenly asked again.

"Yes, I do.

"At that time, Su Yue risked his life to save us, he paid a heavy price, even sacrificing the foundation of his future cultivation.

"We discussed among ourselves to compensate Su Yue a little!

"Wang Mingqi and I each offered three hundred million, I am actively raising funds now. Wang Mingqi took out many treasures at the time, amounting to several tens of millions, and your Du Family indeed showed generosity, Du Jing’s Book changed the password of the Ning Beast waist pouch on the spot, and we all admired Brother Du’s straightforwardness."

Said Liu Guoli, displaying a genuinely admiring expression.

"So that’s how it is... thank you, classmate!"

The elder ground his teeth.

Du Jing’s Book, truly a troublemaker.

Three hundred million is three hundred million.

Just a verbal promise, the Du Family could have managed it for you, why give away the Ning Beast waist pouch?

Such stupidity.

"How are Brother Du’s injuries, he was always cultivating Qi Rings in the wetland, his foundation is unstable!"

Liu Guoli asked again.

"Internal injuries are severe, it might take about a month of recovery, you all should rest well too."

The elder paused a moment, still revealing the truth.

Du Jing’s Book!

You’re like a bottomless money pit, forever unfillable.

This time, Du Jing’s Book was truly gravely injured and unconscious, he hasn’t woken up, the Du Family doesn’t know how many resources must be spent to save him.

...

"There’s news about the Ning Beast cub!"

Suddenly, a Major General burst into the office.

Swoosh!

Xu Baiyan stood up like a spring, eyes red, and then stared at him like a zombie.
