The King of Special Warfare Chapter 92

Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang soon arrived. Before they had finished their cup of tea, the two had already pa.s.sed through the heavy rain outside and knocked on the door of the villa.

“Boss Qin, congratulations.”

Looking at Qin Weibai who personally opened the door for them, Dongcheng Wudi greeted her with a smile. His tone was soft and casual, and traces of intimacy could be sensed from it.

Samsara Palace annihilated Night Spirit and Blue Sky Underworld had a new owner. This was arguably the biggest thing that had ever happened in the Dark World in recent years. In just a few days, disturbances emerged continuously. For the moment, the rise of Samsara Palace as the new superpower of the Dark World was already unstoppable.

Over the past few days, many countries around the world had held high-level meetings, not to mention Zhongzhou State. They tried very hard to make contact with Samsara in order to test its att.i.tude.

Zhongzhou State had a favorable position. On the plenary meeting held temporarily by the Decision Making Committee, the top management of Zhongzhou State made prompt decisions. They dismissed He Ping from his post, transferred Tan Qinghua, and promoted Dongcheng Qiuchi. This was the goodwill released by Zhongzhou State.

As a member of the Decision Making Committee, Dongcheng Wudi personally attended the meeting in Youzhou. At the meeting, a member of the Academics even proposed inviting Samsara Palace to develop in Zhongzhou State. However, the proposal was strongly opposed by the Southeast Group, Special Warfare Group, and Prince Group. The matter eventually fell through.

But this could also be regarded as a tentative action of the Academics. The fact that it was opposed now only showed that the time was not yet right. The next time the subject was likely to be proposed by an important figure of the Academics. And that might be a contest between the Six. From the standpoint of Dongcheng Clan, there was no way for them to stay out of it.

So now looking at Qin Weibai, Dongcheng Wudi simply couldn’t see her as someone who vied for fiance with his daughter. Was she his comrade? One of their own? Or an ally?

Strange feelings mingled with each other, and the sense of distance between them seemed to be much more indistinct.

“Thank you for your congratulations.”

The corners of Qin Weibai’s mouth were lifted gently and her smile was beautiful. She was calm and broad-minded. She took a look at the Dongcheng Wudi and said seriously, “General, thank you.”

When Samsara Palace Master and the 12 Super Masters intruded into Mount Dibing, Dongcheng Wudi happened to appear in the Black Dragon Corps. The Black Dragon Corps was one of the five army groups of the Border Control Corps. There were 100,000 elites inside it and it was responsible for securing the northeastern border of Zhongzhou State. If 30,000 elites went by sea, it would take them less than two hours to enter Beihai Province. It went without saying what that meant.

Dongcheng Wudi took a deep look at Qin Weibai. And then he smiled and beckoned Zhuang Huayang into the villa.

“Boss Qin, the corpse of the attacker is still in the Sky Academy, and I’ve brought some photos with me. Take a look at the photos. If you don’t know him, I’ll have the body thrown into the Yangtze River.”

Zhuang Huayang came in and handed Qin Weibai an envelope. Looking at Li Tianlan who walked over and w.a.n.g Yuetong who was wearing pyjamas, he said calmly with a meaningful smile, “You look great. When are you going back to the Sky Academy?”

“Today.”

Li Tianlan smiled. Originally, he planned to do something, but now the Immortal Series was out there. If his injury was completely healed, the life force that had surged again in him would completely subdue his present strength and turn it into potentials. Moreover, his realm would also be re-established in the Qi-controlling Realm.

Without his incredible combat strength, the gate of the Invincible Realm would open to him. As a result, re-entering the Sky Academy and remaining dormant would become his top priority.

Li Tianlan had a calm look in his eyes. Gains and losses did not seem to affect his mental state at all.

Zhuang Huayang patted Li Tianlan on the shoulder with a relieved smile.

The expression in the eyes of Dongcheng Wudi who was by his side was obviously not quite right. Looking at Li Tianlan first, and then at w.a.n.g Yuetong, who was wearing pyjamas, Dongcheng Wudi said coldly, “Tianlan, you…”

“Good boy! When you were in Zhongyuan Province, you said solemnly and determinedly that you would not marry Rus.h.i.+, so I thought that you are a gentleman. I didn’t expect that just a few days pa.s.sed, w.a.n.g Yuetong should live in Yonghua Villa in front of Qin Weibai. Then why don’t you marry my daughter? Rus.h.i.+ is a pure and innocent girl, and she is not inferior to the little princess in front of me. You made excuses continuously. Do you really think that I dare not force you to marry Rus.h.i.+?”

Dongcheng Wudi was about to explode with anger, and his face grew more and more gloomy. It seemed that he was really angry.

“Flaming Fire.”

Standing aside, Qin Weibai opened the envelope and suddenly spoke. Looking at the body of the black-robed man on the picture, her tone was cold.

She handed the photo to Flaming Fire and sneered, “Oh, it turns out that it’s him who intended to fish in troubled waters in Zhongzhou State. Ask Horsewoman to go to the Sky Academy, take the man’s body out, and throw it into Han Yue Palace.”

Flaming Fire silently took the photo and glanced at Qin Weibai. “Don’t we have to say anything?”

“No need.”

Qin Weibai added coldly, “I am waiting for him to give me an account.”

Flaming Fire nodded and began to make a phone call.

Zhuang Huayang turned around and looked at Qin Weibai in surprise, asking, “Boss Qin, is the attacker related to Han Yue Palace?”

Since the distance between them was not short just now, he only vaguely heard Han Yue Palace but did not hear the specific details clearly.

As a matter of fact, the Academics had also secretly investigated the ident.i.ty of the black-robed man, but they got nothing. If he was really related to Han Yue Palace, then he should be treated with caution.

In Huating, Han Yue Palace was merely a club. But the force behind this so-called club was something that Zhongzhou State had been guarded against for hundreds of years.

Qin Weibai shook her head a little, without saying much. Looking at Dongcheng Wudi’s gloomy face, she asked curiously, “General, what’s the matter?”

Li Tianlan looked embarra.s.sed and didn’t know how to explain. He had kissed and embraced the little princess of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai. He was unable to tell Dongcheng Wudi that he himself had nothing to do with her, but he would feel uncomfortable if he admitted that he had something to do with her. Just when he didn’t know what to say, Qin Weibai came over. He felt even worse.

Dongcheng Wudi suppressed his anger and glared fiercely at Li Tianlan. He said hesitantly, “Boss Qin, Yuetong—the little princess…”

“Hmm, she is my younger sister.”

There was something indescribably graceful in Qin Weibai’s voice.

w.a.n.g Yuetong’s face turned red as Qin Weibai’s gaze fell upon her. Although the look in Qin Weibai’s eyes was not stern, it carried a kind of unexplainable pressure. w.a.n.g Yuetong bit her lip as she called her sister in a low voice, and her face grew rosier. But strangely enough, she did not feel so humiliated, instead, she felt it was so natural when the word was uttered.

“Hmm,” answered Qin Weibai as she glanced at Dongcheng Wudi.

Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang smiled bitterly.

“Sister?”

“What the f.u.c.k is going on here?”

Samsara Palace Master and the 12 Super Masters intruded into Mount Dibing. A total of 13 people went there and all left safely. Although the two sides did not fight violently, w.a.n.g Tianzong’s Sword Emperor Palace was torn up by the sword intent and the entire mountaintop was also damaged to varying degrees. In the end, though, the two sides did not fall out with each other, in many people’s opinion, they had started a feud. Now, however, the little princess of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai suddenly became the sister of the spokesperson of Samsara Palace…

Dongcheng Wudi’s mind was in a whirl. The situation between men and women, especially those who were different from ordinary people, was almost more chaotic than the on-again, off-again situation in Zhongzhou State. He took out a cigarette and lit it. After that, he took a deep breath and asked instinctively, “How about Rus.h.i.+?”

“If she wants to, she’s my sister, too.”

Qin Weibai said calmly.

Li Tianlan felt that his blood froze. Looking at the more graceful and magnanimous Qin Weibai, he was in a complicated mood and wanted to push her down on the bed and give her a good spanking.

Dongcheng Wudi was even more depressed. As soon as he said this, he felt as if he was consulting with the mistress about taking a concubine. It didn’t even require Li Tianlan’s approval. The mistress was in charge of the matter relating to taking concubines.

Dongcheng Wudi smoked in silence. To give Li Tianlan his precious daughter as a concubine? As the G.o.d of Ma.s.sacre of Zhongzhou State, he really couldn’t think it through for a moment.

“Is the time drawing near? Shall we go now?”

Qin Weibai looked down at the watch on her wrist. She looked at Li Tianlan with a gentle smile in her bright eyes.

She suddenly remembered the pair of Vacheron Constantin watches she had asked the craftsman to design and make for her and Li Tianlan the other day. It seemed that their names could be carved with a special skill on the pointers of every watch. The dial was also engraved with the blessings written in ancient Greek. A director of Vacheron Constantin’s manufacturer—Lifeng Group, personally urged the designer to come up with the design sketch. Qin Weibai was satisfied with that. But it was a pity that she would have to wait a year to wear the couple watches with Li Tianlan.

The thought that belonged to a small woman or even a little girl may be a little naive, but Qin Weibai felt that it was more and more difficult to suppress her feelings. Especially in the dead of night when she occasionally woke up from a dream, she always had a sense of fatalism as she felt herself tightly hugged in Li Tianlan’s arms.

Her life belonged to him. She even wanted to tell the world that this was her man and would always be her man.

Qin Weibai looked at Li Tianlan silently, her eyes bright and gentle. They carried a deep feeling that was enough to shock the soul, persistent as if it was eternal.

Li Tianlan came up to her, grasped her cold hand, and said with a nod, “Let’s go.”

…

Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang had invited Zhong Yongming to meet in Tonghe Hospital.

It was a small hospital that covered an area of about eight acres. Its internal planning was reasonable, with well-arranged rockeries and flower beds. A river about six or seven meters wide flowed around the hospital. The water was clear and was running water. If one stepped on the white stone bridge, listened to the sound of the water, and looked at the flowers in front of him, he would feel that everything around him seemed to become deep and quiet, making him relaxed and happy.

From the outside, this hospital looked ordinary, but from the inside, it was a totally different world. It was the best hospital in Huating and even the best private hospital in the south. Its medical level and advanced equipment were second to none. The interior was heavily guarded, with a nine-story main building in the courtyard at the center. Everything inside the hospital was mysterious. The safety and ornamental value achieved an extremely good level.

The hospital was not listed and it would not open for business on weekdays. It operated a system similar to members.h.i.+p. At ordinary times, some senior citizens of high rank in Huating would recuperate here. Sometimes, some people of sensitive ident.i.ties would come here temporarily to avoid outside disturbance. So most of the time, a cold and quiet atmosphere of leisure pervaded this place.

The boss of Tonghe Hospital was the Han family—the top neutral wealthy family in Huating. As the biggest magnate in Zhongzhou State, Han Donglou—the current Patriarch of the Han family, treated all the people in the Six equally. Therefore, if the people in the Six felt uncomfortable, most of them would choose to come to Tonghe Hospital.

Zhong Youwei, who became a vegetable due to w.a.n.g Xiaoyao a few months ago.

Zhong Shaofeng, who had been beaten badly by Li Tianlan a few days ago.

They were all being treated at Tonghe Hospital.

Zhong Yongming was quite clear why Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang invited him. Now, Samsara had eliminated Night Spirit and grabbed the limelight. Li Tianlan was on intimate terms with Qin Weibai—the spokesperson of Samsara. As a result, no matter how much Zhong Yongming hated him, he had to bear it temporarily. The other side invited him to meet in this place, so it was clear that it was merely a reserved compromise.

Zhong Yongming served as a member of the Decision Making Committee and the top leader of Huating. He was arguably one of the most powerful men in the entire Zhongzhou State. If he were to back down temporarily, it would be a polite retreat, not a bottomless compromise.

“Tianlan, the princ.i.p.al and I are now lobbyists invited by Boss Qin. You know what I mean, don’t you?”

Walking into the hospital, Dongcheng Wudi suddenly spoke with concern in his eyes.

Li Tianlan nodded in silence. To protect his ident.i.ty, neither Zhuang Huayang nor Dongcheng Wudi was suitable to show too much concern for him.

Zhuang Huayang looked at him, shook his head with a slight sigh, and said nothing more.

The Academics had been working with Samsara in recent years and they worked well together. Now via Dongcheng Wudi’s wife Bai Qingqian’s transfer, the Academics announced the alliance with Dongcheng Clan in a high profile way. In this way, inviting Zhuang Huayang and Dongcheng Wudi as lobbyists appeared well-reasoned if Qin Weibai wanted to solve this matter for Li Tianlan. Furthermore, people would not a.s.sociate this matter with Li Tianlan’s true ident.i.ty.

Dongcheng Wudi showed up aggressively in Yonghua Villa to frighten the elites from the Eastern Theater of Operations. But on this regard, Ning Qiancheng could be taken as a s.h.i.+eld for his real purpose of coming there.

At present, the most questionable part was that Dongcheng Wudi took Li Tianlan back to Zhongyuan Province. This was a glaring loophole. Perhaps many people were guessing the relations.h.i.+p between Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Clan.

But it seemed that there wasn’t much interaction between the Li family and Dongcheng Clan back then. This alone would not have exposed Li Tianlan’s ident.i.ty. Moreover, Dongcheng Wudi had just taken him to Zhongyuan Province once. Since Li Tianlan possessed Wind and Thunder Veins, this matter could also be interpreted as an act of Dongcheng Clan drawing Li Tianlan over to their side, or the cooperation between Dongcheng Clan and Samsara Palace. This series of things could manage to avoid Li Tianlan from exposing his true ident.i.ty. Although the details didn’t stand up to scrutiny, the best part was that no one knew the details except the person involved.

As long as they could not find out who Li Tianlan was, then their speculations could yield nothing than inexplicable conclusions.

Moreover, the storm was about to break in the Dark World and the interior of Zhongzhou State was in turmoil. Dongcheng Clan and the Academics were already allies. At this point, no one would pay too much attention to Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan wore a self-mocking smile. Qin Weibai did not know Martial Arts, but her current status had been attracting considerable attention. In all people’s eyes, he now should be a gigolo of Qin Weibai.

“You must lower yourself a moment later. General and I cannot behave aggressively. Once we did so, we would arouse Zhong Yongming’s suspicion. So we’ll put ourselves in the right place. If we can reach an agreement today, the matter relating to Zhong Shaofeng will be gone. At the very least, it will give you enough time to become powerful.”

Zhuang Huayang said seriously.

Lowering himself to make peace with Zhong Yongming was the best thing for Li Tianlan to do at the moment.

The animosity between Li Tianlan and the Zhong family could be solved officially. However, the Zhong family was a top wealthy family of great power in Huating. Their private revenge would only get much crueler.

Now, Qin Weibai invited two lobbyists of great weight. Today, as long as Zhong Yongming could agree on this matter in front of Zhuang Huayang and Dongcheng Wudi, then he would not go back on his word in a short time.

Currently, the storm in the Dark World, the undercurrent in Huating, and the sensitive situation of the middle general election in Zhongzhou State intermingled. A slight move in one part may affect the situation as a whole. If Zhong Yongming went back on his word in private, it meant that he was ready to become an enemy of Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang. This was a consequence that he had to consider carefully if he had the ambition to go further.

In other words, if Zhong Yongming was willing to agree on this matter today, even if he would go back on his word, that would be something that could only happen two years later after the general election. By then everything had almost settled down. If he was going to harm Li Tianlan at that time, he would have fewer scruples.

Having two years to strengthen himself, Li Tianlan would not then have been afraid of the Zhong family’s little private actions. This was the best that everyone could do for Li Tianlan at the moment.

It was their consensus to wait for Li Tianlan to become powerful.

“Okay.”

Li Tianlan nodded and continued with a smile, “I do understand the truth that lack of forbearance in small matters upsets great plans.”

Intentionally or unintentionally, Zhuang Huayang looked at Qin Weibai with a wry smile.

He believed that Li Tianlan was good at forbearing.

He was a man who carried the glory of the family of G.o.d of Wars for hundreds of years.

He was a man who carried the grievances of the entire family and even the Xuanyuantai of Kunlun.

He was a man who grew up in a tough environment on the border and hadn’t been crushed by the pressure.

Such a person, if necessary, absolutely could frankly bear any humiliation.

Without doubt, Li Tianlan could bear that. But could Qin Weibai beside him stand it?

Not to mention Qin Weibai, could w.a.n.g Yuetong—the little princess of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, who insisted on following them here, stand it?

Zhuang Huayang and Dongcheng Wudi glanced at each other with a heavy heart.

Zhong Yongming was forced to compromise, and of course, he would purposely make difficulties for Li Tianlan. No one knew whether Qin Weibai and w.a.n.g Yuetong would lose their temper.

There was some uncertainty about the outcome of the negotiations.

The five of them entered the hospital successively. There was a quiet-looking young man in his thirties in the hall. He walked over and shook hands with Dongcheng Wudi with a modest smile. “General, nice to meet you. I’m Xiaohe, secretary of Secretary Zhong. Secretary Zhong said he wanted me to show you up.”

Dongcheng Wudi raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly became fierce.

Although he knew that the negotiations between them were difficult, looking at Zhong Yongming’s att.i.tude, he knew that the latter was not sincere at all.

Both Zhong Yongming and he were members of the Decision Making Committee, so they were of the same rank. Furthermore, Zhuang Huayang was a venerable old headmaster and Qin Weibai had a sensitive ident.i.ty. Nonetheless, Zhong Yongming just sent a secretary to meet them. Moreover, the secretary was not an executive secretary.

Dongcheng Wudi had never seen this secretary. Presumably, he was only a secretary who was in charge of Zhong Yongming’s daily life.

It was the height of discourtesy to neglect them.

Dongcheng Wudi glanced at Zhuang Huayang and found that the latter looked unsatisfied, too.

“Let’s go.”

Qin Weibai shot a glance at Xiaohe and said calmly.

Xiaohe was staring at Qin Weibai attentively and had amazement written all over his face. Unexpectedly, Qin Weibai’s gaze swept across him. Her gaze was not cold, but it carried an immense amount of pressure. Xiaohe suddenly came to himself and his forehead broke into a cold sweat.

She was a woman who could negotiate with his master Secretary Zhong. No matter how young she was, she was simply not something he could touch. With a humble smile, he led the way into the elevator and headed for the VIP ward on the sixth floor.

The ward was decorated luxuriously and comfortably, and the pale blue walls looked very cozy. Xiaohe walked through the living room with the five people behind him, entered the ward, and said respectfully, “Secretary Zhong, the guests have come.”

Li Tianlan recognized Huating’s top leader whom he had seen in Huating News yesterday, at first glance.

Zhong Yongming was approaching sixty, but he looked as if he was not yet fifty. His dyed black hair was neatly combed, his face was square, and he dressed in Western-style clothes. He looked meticulous, dignified and steady.

Zhong Shaofeng had revived, but the bones all over his body were shattered and he lay paralyzed on the bed like a pool of mud. Except for the eyeb.a.l.l.s, he didn’t have any moving parts at all.

When Li Tianlan and his companions came in, Zhong Yongming was sitting quietly on the hospital bed smoking. No one knew what he was thinking.

Hearing Xiaohe’s words, Zhong Yongming turned his head to look at them.

His eyes almost immediately fell on Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan knew that Zhong Yongming did not know Martial Arts, but at that moment, he still felt copious amounts of heavy and cold pressure came upon his face irresistibly in a twinkling of an eye. That was absolutely something that power brought to Zhong Yongming. It enabled his every move and even a look to bring people suffocating pressure.

Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhong Yongming in silence.

Through his eyes, Li Tianlan could clearly feel the coldness and rage in his eyes, which was the undisguised killing intent and resentment.

Li Tianlan’s expression was calm, and even his voice had a certain unchanging softness. He nodded and greeted, “h.e.l.lo, Secretary Zhong.”

“General, headmaster, oh, and Boss Qin, come and sit here.”

On the sofa in the ward, a tall and straight middle-aged man in military uniform stood up and said with a smile.

Dongcheng Wudi gave him a look but said nothing.

However, Zhuang Huayang said smilingly, “Oh, it’s Changjiang. Why are you here too?”

He was Lieutenant General Gu Changjiang, Director of Huating Special Operations Bureau.

“Gu Changjiang’s presence here today is sufficient to show that Zhong Yongming has some concerns about his own safety. And probably that’s why Zhong Yongming made him his bodyguard.”

“Kunlun City now greatly welcomes anything the Prince Group asks for. If the negotiations break down today, perhaps Gu Changjiang will be most pleased to see it.”

Zhuang Huayang thought in silence, thoughtfully.

“It’s merely a coincidence.”

Gu Changjiang smiled and behaved flawlessly.

Dongcheng Wudi was not so patient. Feeling the cold expression in Zhong Yongming’s eyes, he said flatly, “Comrade Yongming, this is Tianlan. Shall we go out and have a talk?”

“I’m not fine at all.”

Zhong Yongming finally spoke. However, he ignored Dongcheng Wudi. He just stared at Li Tianlan and said coldly, “I don’t need your greetings. You disabled my son, anyway, you owe my son an apology, at least.”

He stood up and walked to Li Tianlan, speaking slowly, “A most sincere apology. What do you think?”

“You’re right.”

Li Tianlan spoke in a calm voice, his expression unchanged.

Zhong Yongming narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the young man who could capture Qin Weibai’s heart. After a long while, the corners of his mouth slightly twitched and he said flatly, “We can talk about other things later.”

He ordered, pointing to the hospital bed, “Now, get down on your knees for my son and say you’re sorry ten times. I can consider letting you off for the time being.”

“Get down on your knees and say you’re sorry ten times. I can consider letting you off for the time being.”

Everyone’s expression changed at the same time, except for Li Tianlan’s.

No one had expected that Zhong Yongming directly made a demand which they could not accept just as they met.

“Secretary Zhong…”

Zhuang Huayang frowned.

Zhong Yongming waved his hand, directly interrupted Zhuang Huayang, and said calmly, “You can choose not to kneel. After all, Marshal Dongcheng, Headmaster Zhuang, and Boss Qin are here. I cannot do anything to you. If you don’t kneel, go back and wait.”

I could compromise, depending on your willingness to bend your knees.

This was Zhong Yongming’s att.i.tude, firm and unchangeable.

Perhaps Li Tianlan’s unwillingness to kneel was what he wanted to see.

Sitting on the other side, Gu Changjiang looked at Li Tianlan and then at Zhong Yongming. The look in his eyes was meaningful, but he said nothing.

Zhong Yongming was furious, but Gu Changjiang didn’t lose his reason. Of the five people who were here today, four had arranged an appointment. However, there was a little princess from the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, and that made things interesting.

The situation was unknown and Gu Changjiang could not speak casually.

“Secretary Zhong, your request blinds me to any sincerity between our negotiations.”

Qin Weibai held Li Tianlan’s hand and said coldly.

“Boss Qin, do you mean that my son’s life is not worth your man’s kneeling?”

“But he’s alive.”

“But what’s the difference between living and dead?”

Zhong Yongming and Qin Weibai asked and answered interchangeably. The t.i.t for tat dispute between them had led the atmosphere to suddenly become oppressive.

“All right.”

Li Tianlan opened his mouth suddenly and got rid of Qin Weibai’s grip. When he looked at Zhong Yongming’s increasingly cold eyes, he smiled gently and calmly. “Secretary Zhong, you’re right. Yes, it’s worth it.”

“Then kneel.”

Zhong Yongming said indifferently.

Li Tianlan took one step forward.

“Tianlan.”

“Senior brother!”

Qin Weibai and w.a.n.g Yuetong blurted out at the same time.

Li Tianlan turned to look at them and narrowed his eyes with a smile. “It’s really worth it, isn’t it?”

He turned and went straight to the hospital bed.

On the hospital bed, Zhong Shaofeng’s eyes rolled. He seemed to have heard the conversation in the room, and his breathing became rapid.

Li Tianlan looked calm.

Taking different stands, everyone had different interpretations of whether Zhong Yongming was asking too much.

He knew clearly that even if he didn’t kneel today, Dongcheng Wudi and Zhuang Huayang were willing to solve the rest of it for him.

Nevertheless, neither he nor the Li family could afford to owe them the favor. He didn’t want Qin Weibai to owe them a favor either.

Since he could shoulder something on his own, he must do it himself.

Even if it made his spine and knees bend.

He could endure and kneel if it was merely some humiliation!

Qin Weibai looked at Li Tianlan’s back silently, biting her lip and stepping forward abruptly.

Dongcheng Wudi stopped directly in front of Qin Weibai.

“Get out of my way!”

Qin Weibai’s expression was icy.

“Calm down.”

Dongcheng Wudi had complicated expressions in his eyes. “You are Tianlan’s woman and should respect his decision. Sometimes, it takes more courage to kneel than to stand up straight. Just like now.”

“Bang!”

A dull voice sounded.

Before Qin Weibai could speak, Li Tianlan was on his knees in front of the hospital bed.

As he had said, his kneeling for Zhong Shaofeng’s life was something worthwhile to do.

.

But only if it was a whole life!

Li Tianlan knelt before Zhong Shaofeng, his countenance calm. There was even a glimmer of a smile in his voice, very light and soft. But after Zhong Yongming heard it, he felt his scalp go numb because it sounded so cold.

“Young Master Zhong, I’m sorry, I wish you a speedy recovery.”
