Chapter 768: Chapter 767 Waiting for the Opportunity
The plane landed at Jiangnan County Airport.
Perhaps because notice had been given in advance, the airport was very empty, with no planes taking off.
After the plane came to a stop, Ning Feiyang looked towards Chu Shiguang and the others.
Chu Shiguang waved his hand in a downcast manner, "You go ahead and disembark first."
Ning Feiyang pondered briefly, then nodded and walked out first.
Now that they were here, the Chu family wouldn’t dare to make any further moves.
Unless they truly wished to die and didn’t care about the wellbeing of the rest of the Chu family.
As the cabin door opened, Ning Feiyang stepped out of the plane and immediately saw Qin Zhengfang.
At Qin Zhengfang’s side, two fully armed columns stood, brimming with murderous intent.
Besides, there were four military strongmen emanating fierce killing intent next to Qin Zhengfang. Ning Feiyang recognized two of them, both of whom held great prestige in the military and now belonged to the Military Department.
Clearly, the Qin Family took the Ning Family’s arrangements very seriously.
Descending from the plane, Ning Feiyang strode toward Qin Zhengfang and voluntarily stopped three meters away from him, saluted, and said, "I have been ordered to hand over the people of the Chu family, along with countless innocent hostages, to you, Minister Qin, for reception."
Qin Zhengfang sized up Ning Feiyang, his brows furrowing slightly, "Injured?"
Ning Feiyang had already checked his condition secretly, and although he had been injured internally by Chu Shiguang’s strike, it wasn’t fatal, so he smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Minister, I’m fine."
Qin Zhengfang probably guessed what had happened and nodded, "You’ve worked hard."
At this moment, Chu Shiguang appeared at the doorway of the cabin.
Qin Zhengfang looked up, their eyes meeting.
Both scions of powerful families, the two had known each other since childhood. They just never imagined their next meeting would be under such circumstances.
Qin Zhengfang took a deep breath and took large strides to welcome him, "Brother Shiguang."
Chu Shiguang, two years older than Qin Zhengfang, nodded upon hearing this and said, "In the end, it’s the Qin family who has won."
Qin Zhengfang immediately shook his head, "Brother Shiguang is joking. In this affair, there is no winner; we are both losers. Both our families have caused great loss to the country."
Chu Shiguang looked at Qin Zhengfang and saw no deceit or affectation in his eyes, but instead a resolute concern for the country and its people.
He sighed silently in his heart, and couldn’t help but think again of the young girl.
Her integrity and righteousness must have been inherited from Qin Zhengfang.
When it came to the education of patriotism and national righteousness, he truly had lost to the other party.
At this time, the other two planes also landed one after another.
One of the planes was a super-large passenger aircraft, carrying important hostages who had been transferred to the East Combat Zone.
The other plane was filled with relatives from the Chu family.
As soon as the Chu family disembarked, they were surrounded and controlled.
Cries of alarm, barking orders, and furious shouting continuously came from that direction, clearly indicating those from the Chu family had not yet fully grasped the situation and were stunned by what had suddenly befallen them.
Chu Shiguang, in agony, turned his gaze away and said to Qin Zhengfang, "My family..."
Qin Zhengfang didn’t let him finish, nodding and saying, "Innocent people of the Chu family will not be implicated in any way. This matter only requires an explanation from those responsible. It is a great calamity for our nation, and my Qin family is also to blame."
Chu Shiguang felt a chill in his heart, not expecting Qin Zhengfang to say such words.
He took a deep breath and slowly nodded, "So be it."
He had completely given up.
Having been outmaneuvered by Ning Shucheng like this, the Chu family’s power had waned, and there was no benefit in further talk.
Without needing an order from Qin Zhengfang, the people from the Chu family were taken away.
The important senior members of the Chu family, including Chu Shiguang, were even escorted away by the powerhouses of the Military Department.
As for the hostages from the Qin family group who had been released, they too were organized and returned to their families, ending their harrowing experience as hostages.
After everyone had been taken away, Qin Zhengfang got back into the car and dialed his father, Qin Huai’an’s, number, saying, "I have received the people, and not a single high-level member of the Chu family was missing."
"Hmm, the Ning family has established great merit this time."
"One could say they’ve redeemed themselves. Ning Shucheng did well."
"Inform that girl, it’s time to make a move in Imperial City."
"Okay."
Qin Zhengfang hung up the phone and immediately dialed Qin Yanyang’s number.
After the father-daughter pair connected, Qin Zhengfang briefed her on the situation.
Qin Yanyang was overjoyed. She had originally thought that the news Tang Shuwan told her sounded like a fairy tale, but it turned out to be true.
The enemy had internal divisions, and Ning Shucheng from the Ning Family had decisively struck, sending the Chu Family down a path of no return with one move.
Truly, heaven blesses the Divine Continent!
The Great Divine Continent still has many heroes who lament its troubles.
After ending the call with her father, Qin Yanyang made her final decision.
Ning Shucheng had asked Tang Shuwan to relay a message to her, requesting a meeting.
The meeting place would be at the headquarters of the East Combat Zone.
The Military Department had debated internally for a long time, all opposing Qin Yanyang’s visit, saying if Ning Shucheng wanted to meet, he should come to Imperial City or head to the south.
In short, they did not allow Qin Yanyang to go to the East Combat Zone alone.
However, now, Qin Yanyang had made up her mind.
She would meet Ning Shucheng to show the Qin Family’s sincere attitude.
Although there was certainly risk in the journey, what was a little danger compared to the Divine Continent returning to peace sooner?
Moreover, Qin Yanyang had already stepped into the Divine Travel Realm. Although her spiritual power wasn’t particularly strong, her confidence far surpassed what it had been before.
Apart from taking a blow in her romantic affairs, which led to temporary self-doubt, Qin Yanyang’s inherent confidence had never wavered in other aspects.
"Minister, if you’re determined to go to the East Combat Zone, I won’t stop you, but I must accompany you," Xiang Yunfei said with a resolute face.
Several elite members of the Military Department also echoed his sentiment.
After following Qin Yanyang to Imperial City, they had planned to carry out an operation to decapitate the enemy, but those guys all went into hiding, leaving them no opportunity to act during this period, essentially just hiding in the underground of this courtyard house.
Now that Qin Yanyang was going to the East Combat Zone, they wanted to follow.
Qin Yanyang shook her head and said, "Don’t worry. If Ning Shucheng really wanted to harm me, he wouldn’t have sent Chu Family people to Jiangnan County. If you all accompany me, it will only increase the pressure on the Ning Family.
Right now, Japan is acting recklessly, ready to start a war at any moment. The Divine Continent must return to calm immediately. The Ning Family asking me to go is just a matter of wanting my stance, nothing will happen."
"But..."
Xiang Yunfei tried to speak again but was interrupted by Qin Yanyang’s icy gaze.
"This is an order," Qin Yanyang’s icy gaze swept over the Military Department personnel. "After I leave, you must ensure the security here. Also, if anyone from the Imperial City Chu Family makes any rash moves, you must deal with it promptly. We must not let Chu Tianxing ruin the crucial moment."
Xiang Yunfei and the others felt the sternness of the minister and did not dare defy her command, all responding in unison, "Yes!"
Subsequently, Qin Yanyang secretly left Imperial City, traveling alone toward the East Combat Zone.
As Qin Yanyang left Imperial City, Zhu Tianshou lurked alone in a dark corner outside the Forbidden Army Guard Commander Building for more than ten minutes.
The security here was incredibly tight, with nearly every patrol team interspersed with a few martial arts experts at the Energy Transformation Level.
Clearly, Chu Tianxing, who was stationed here, was afraid of death. He had strengthened the defense measures of the commander building.
Zhu Tianshou, who had previously stormed the headquarters in Korea with Yang Fei during an operation to take out Jin Riwen and Luo Bin, realized that they would have been unable to deal with the enemy if not for Yang Fei’s dominant True Qi.
Now, Zhu Tianshou felt that the defense here was even stronger than that of the military headquarters in the Korean capital.
Attempting to break into the building alone might make killing Chu Tianxing unfeasible.
Zhu Tianshou had his pride. He believed that since he had taken action himself, he must succeed in decapitation, so he kept waiting for an opportunity.
Suddenly, Zhu Tianshou’s eyes lit up.
A stir arose from the previously silent building, with faint sounds of angry roars.
Soon, a team rushed out from inside the building.
Zhu Tianshou’s heart stirred slightly.
Chu Tianxing might be coming out; his opportunity had arrived.
