Ye Yuan Sen remained silent for a moment before replying, "Mr. Yamamoto, I promise you, I will take care of this person after the exchange meeting. Moreover, the Qi family in Jicheng has issued a bounty for his head, ten billion!"
"Perhaps, he won't even live to see the exchange meeting!"
"As for your compensation, I will transfer all the shares of Donggang Group to your name. How about that?"
Although Ye Yuan Sen felt a pang of regret, he knew that Yamamoto Fuji was not someone to be trifled with. If he didn't offer an explanation, he would undoubtedly refuse to let it go.
Upon hearing Ye Yuan Sen's intention to transfer all the shares of Donggang Group to him, Yamamoto Fuji's expression softened slightly.
"Ye, then I look forward to your good news!"
"Certainly!"
*Knock, knock, knock.*
After hanging up the phone, Yamamoto Fuji's office door was knocked.
"Come in."
Yamamoto Fuji adjusted his mood and looked towards the door.
Mo Zi Yan entered the office carrying a stack of folders and bowed respectfully to Yamamoto Fuji.
"Professor, I have prepared all the materials you requested."
Mo Zi Yan was the class representative chosen by Yamamoto Fuji. Before each class, she would prepare the materials he needed and bring them to him.
Yamamoto Fuji looked at the delicate and cute Mo Zi Yan, feeling a slight stir.
"Put it here."
Yamamoto Fuji pointed to the desk in front of him. "Student Mo, your performance has been excellent. I'm planning to give you the outstanding student spot."
"Ah? Really?"
The surprise came rather suddenly, and Mo Zi Yan was overwhelmed with gratitude.
"Of course, it's true."
Yamamoto Fuji smiled at Mo Zi Yan. "However, before that, you need to help me with something."
Mo Zi Yan quickly replied, "Professor, please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
Mo Zi Yan's every expression and gesture deeply captivated Yamamoto Fuji.
Yamamoto Fuji suppressed the impulse in his heart and put on a kind smile. "The laboratory needs a few assistants. I see you have a good relationship with several other classmates, and you can help me out for a couple of days."
"Go to Professor's laboratory?" Mo Zi Yan's eyes lit up.
She had heard that even doctoral students at Qingcheng University were not qualified to enter Yamamoto Fuji's laboratory.
She never expected to have the opportunity.
"Yes, do you have time?" Yamamoto Fuji asked.
Mo Zi Yan busily nodded, "Professor, I have time after finishing my exams in these two days."
"Good, then it's settled. In two days, I will bring you and your classmates into the laboratory. You may go now."
Yamamoto Fuji smiled at Mo Zi Yan, maintaining a hypocritically benevolent demeanor of a teacher.
Mo Zi Yan happily went to find Xu Jiao and Wang Hai Feng.
She shared the good news with them immediately.

Meanwhile.
Jicheng, the War Department!
The news of Qi Xian's death was initially kept secret by the higher-ups of the War Department. However, walls have ears, and the news still spread throughout the Jicheng War Department, causing a massive shock.
"Did you hear? Young General Qi was killed in Qingcheng!"
"Heard about it. Young General Qi was General Chu's trusted subordinate, and he was killed in Qingcheng. This is like the sky falling!"
"Keep your voices down. Although we weren't General Qi's soldiers, we are still part of the War Department. It might not be good to discuss it behind his back like this."
"What's so bad about it? Young General Qi was killed, and we should all avenge him. Otherwise, how will outsiders view our Jicheng War Department?"
"Exactly. The War Department cannot be insulted. No matter who killed Young General Qi, this revenge must be taken!"
"General Chu will surely be discussing revenge strategies. This is not something for us, minor soldiers, to worry about."

War Department Conference Room.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Before Chu Tian Xiong stood three Major Generals, all with grim expressions.
Like Qi Xian, they were all soldiers personally trained by Chu Tian Xiong, and they were as close as brothers.
Now that Qi Xian was killed in Qingcheng, they found it difficult to suppress their anger and each of them requested to be dispatched to avenge Qi Xian.
Gao Hai, with a mole on his forehead, stepped forward first.
His eyes blazed, and he gritted his teeth. "General Chu, Qi Xian was killed. If I, as his brother, do not avenge him, what kind of brother am I? What kind of man am I? Please approve my request and let me go to Qingcheng!"
"General Chu, I, Wang Hong Xin, also request to dispatch troops to Qingcheng. To kill my brother and injure a soldier of the Jicheng War Department, no matter who the opponent is, I will bring back his head to accompany my wine and meals!"
Wang Hong Xin, with his fleshy face and bald head, spoke with a voice like a thunderclap, making people's eardrums ache.
The man who had remained silent the entire time was fair-skinned, thin, and had a somewhat gloomy gaze.
Among Chu Tian Xiong's four trusted subordinates, he had the best relationship with Qi Xian.
But at this moment, he remained silent.
"Qing Ming, you also wish to request?" Chu Tian Xiong asked, looking at the man who had not spoken.
Bai Qing Ming shook his head.
Seeing this, Gao Hai and Wang Hong Xin glared at Bai Qing Ming.
"Bai Qing Ming, are you still a man or not? Qi Xian was killed, and you're stopping us from avenging him."
"Damn it, I've never liked you. You're truly undeserving of Qi Xian's closeness to you!"
Gao Hai and Wang Hong Xin cursed immediately, showing no respect for Bai Qing Ming.
Bai Qing Ming's expression turned ashen, and he raised his eyes slightly, looking calmly at the furious duo.
"I want to avenge him more than any of you!"
Bai Qing Ming spoke, his voice laced with hatred.
"However, before you seek revenge, please use your brains."
Bai Qing Ming looked at the two and said coldly, "How many people did Qi Xian bring? And there was a tank. Yet, the opponent easily killed him."
"Do you think you are stronger than Qi Xian? Or how much stronger are you?"
Bai Qing Ming took a deep breath, his gaze gloomy. "The opponent can disregard a tank, so their strength is at least at the Heavenly Grade Seven, possibly Nine, or even Grandmaster!"
"A congenital Grandmaster means sending people to their deaths no matter how many!"
Gao Hai and Wang Hong Xin's faces flushed as they were spoken to by Bai Qing Ming.
They only knew how to fight and didn't understand these matters.
"Qing Ming is correct," Chu Tian Xiong said, looking at the three. "Qi Xian was a soldier I brought up from a private. His death pains me more than any of you."
"The revenge must be taken, but we cannot be impulsive."
A killing intent erupted from Chu Tian Xiong. "Anyone who dares to touch a Major General of my Jicheng War Department will pay the price."
"Qing Ming, you investigate that person's identity in secret."
Chu Tian Xiong instructed Bai Qing Ming. "Remember, do not act rashly."
"Your subordinate understands." Bai Qing Ming accepted the order.
"Furthermore, this matter has likely alerted those above. I will be going out for a trip in the next two days. The matters of the War Department will be left to the three of you."
Chu Tian Xiong gave further instructions.
"General Chu, rest assured!"
The three said in unison.
"You may go!"
Chu Tian Xiong waved his hand.
After the three left, Chu Tian Xiong's phone rang.
He answered the call, and a hoarse voice came from the other end.
"Tian Xiong, you cannot touch that person in Qingcheng."
"Why?" Chu Tian Xiong gritted his teeth, suppressing his anger.
"Because..." the aged voice paused and said solemnly, "he is Tian!"
