Chapter 1 Kong Family Courtyard

　　The entire Kong family was bustling, packing up valuables, ready to evacuate at any moment.

　　In the large living room, only Kong Zhengui and Kong Zhengqi were present.

　　Outside the window, the sounds of gunfire and artillery could be heard, along with the occasional roar of a plane overhead, making one's heart pound with anxiety. The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.

　　Kong Zhengqi sat beside him, still bandaged, his fingers splinted. The injuries he sustained at the Quantong Bureau hadn't healed so quickly.

　　Across from him, Kong Zhengui held a cell phone to his ear, listening to a call.

　　"How about we talk some more?"

　　Kong Zhengui received the stranger's voice, his expression calm, but he remained silent, not saying a word.

　　The other party thought for a moment, then patiently persuaded him, "Heh, isn't the current situation obvious enough?"

　　Kong Zhengui still didn't reply, tapping his fingers lightly on his leg.

　　The man on the other end of the phone remained silent as well. After about thirty seconds of silence, Kong Zhengui hung up the phone with a snap and casually placed it on the table.

　　Kong Zhengqi sat next to him, not interrupting, but with a puzzled look in his eyes. After the call ended, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, was that someone from the other side?"

　　Kong Zhengui didn't answer, but took out a cigarette and lit it.

　　Kong Zhengqi was on pins and needles, and pressed, "Was it the same person who was looking for you last time?"

　　Kong Zhengui smoked, glanced at his brother, and still didn't say a word.

　　Kong Zhengqi's voice was a little distorted as he said anxiously, "Brother, who is it? Tell me! I don't know anything, it's driving me crazy! In this situation, if we hesitate any longer…"

　　Hearing this, Kong Zhengui waved his hand and finally interrupted his brother, "Just focus on healing. You don't need to make decisions for our family."

　　Hearing this, Kong Zhengqi had to swallow the rest of his words. But his eyes were still filled with deep worry.

　　Kong Zhengui put down his cigarette and patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, do what you need to do, don't think about those messy things."

　　With that, he left Kong Zhengqi alone and left the villa.

　　…

　　At the same time, on the outskirts of Dragon City, at the front-line suppression base.

　　Kang Dinghuang sat in his office, drinking coffee and looking at the front-line battle report that had just been delivered to him.

　　"Knock, knock, knock!"

　　The office door was suddenly knocked on, and Kang Dinghuang called out without looking up, "Enter."

　　"Creak—"

　　One of his trusted military intelligence officers stepped in, saluted him, and then reported, "Reporting, Director, I have contacted the other party."

　　Kang Dinghuang put down his coffee cup and looked up, "What did they say?"

　　The intelligence officer shook his head, "He didn't communicate with me, didn't say anything, remained silent the entire time."

　　The corners of Kang Dinghuang's mouth turned up in a smile, "Very good, I'll leave this line to you. Report to me immediately if there is any progress."

　　The intelligence officer nodded, "Okay, I understand."

　　Kang Dinghuang waved his hand, "Alright, go ahead."

　　"Yes!"

　　The intelligence officer turned and left the office. Kang Dinghuang picked up his coffee cup again and continued to read the intelligence in his hand.

　　…

　　Hua District, South Shanghai City.

　　In the conference room of the Foreign Affairs Hotel, Su Tianyu, Jiang Zhou, An Qiqi, and more than twenty others were sitting around a conference table, holding a video conference with personnel from The Dragon City, and the Old Mexico region.

　　The entire meeting was presided over by Su Tianyu, who was pale, tired, and very weak.

　　After several hours of video conferences, and finally discussing the battle situation in Old Mexico with Wang Dingyuan and Zhao Weihu, the meeting was finally adjourned.

　　An Qiqi looked at Su Tianyu with concern and couldn't help asking, "How are you? Are you tired? Do you want to rest?"

　　Su Tianyu waved his hand gently, "I'm fine, I don't need to rest, there's still a pile of things waiting to be dealt with."

　　An Qiqi hesitated, and finally nodded, not saying anything more.

　　Su Tianyu perked up and turned to Jiang Zhou, who was sitting not far away, and said, "It seems that the battle in Old Mexico is going well. Mode Amon is stuck in the Guada region, unable to get out. The Blackwater Legion is also doing well in the New Lai region. The morale of the defenders is low, and they are retreating steadily. Now, I just hope that the Renmin Army can delay for a little longer, and strive to completely defeat and scatter Mode Amon and his rebel warlords before the rebels enter the Old Mexico inland!"

　　Jiang Zhou also nodded, "Yes, now all the chips are on the Old Mexico battlefield, I hope everything goes well there."

　　As they spoke, they prepared to leave.

　　After sitting in a wheelchair for a while, Su Tianyu was able to walk independently. He subconsciously got up, but as soon as he stood up, his brain suddenly felt dizzy.

　　"Buzz…"

　　A buzzing sound kept ringing in his ears, and he saw stars in front of his eyes. Everything was dark.

　　Su Tianyu paused obviously, holding his dizzy head and standing there, leaning on the table.

　　Since he woke up, he had been devoted to the Dragon City matter, and had hardly slept, let alone rested properly. As a result, the old injuries on his body were difficult to heal, and he was almost always relying on nutritional medicine to maintain his health.

　　"Xiao Yu!"

　　An Qiqi grabbed Su Tianyu, her eyes filled with worry.

　　Jiang Zhou was also startled and quickly asked, "Xiao Yu, are you alright? If you really can't, take another two days off?"

　　"It's okay."

　　Su Tianyu waved his hand again, smiled and said, "Maybe I got up too fast, I'll be careful."

　　Just as everyone was worried, Jiang Zhou's secretary suddenly received a phone call, then looked up and said, "The Commander-in-Chief sent a message asking us to go over now and meet Mr. Su."

　　Su Tianyu immediately said, "Okay, let's go then, don't keep the old man waiting too long."

　　"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the car." Jiang Zhou nodded and ordered the secretary to prepare the vehicles.

　　The group then left the conference room and walked outside.

　　In the corridor, Su Tianyu lowered his voice as he walked, turned his head and asked Jiang Zhou, "Is everything ready on your end?"

　　Jiang Zhou nodded lightly, "It's ready. The situation is like this. You meet with the old man first, and tomorrow night I'll arrange for you to leave Hua District. The specific itinerary has already been planned."

　　Su Tianyu nodded and said nothing more.

　　A group of more than twenty people arrived at the lobby on the first floor. The cars were already parked outside, waiting for them.

　　Just as everyone was walking out, Su Tianyu suddenly felt dizzy and the whole world was spinning. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

　　An Qiqi felt something was wrong and quickly asked, "Xiao Yu, what's wrong?"

　　Su Tianyu's face was pale, his body swayed slightly, and finally with a thud, he fell heavily on his back on the ground, convulsing.
