Chapter 1214: Chapter 1209 What I Say Goes

"What’s wrong?"

Li Qingtian, who had just finished washing her hair, came out and noticed the soldier looked somewhat odd.

"Sister Qingtian, it’s about Ruan Chao’en."

Upon seeing Li Qingtian, the soldier hastily bent over to show his respect.

"Him? What happened?"

The soldier honestly recounted Ruan Chao’en’s situation, and Li Qingtian immediately turned to Tang Ye.

"So... how did you deal with it?"

"I killed him," Tang Ye said offhandedly, yet those two words sent a chill through the air.

Li Qingtian took a deep look at Tang Ye and told the soldier, "Wait here for a moment."

She then walked up to Tang Ye, her eyes locked onto him, making him inexplicably uneasy. For some reason, Li Qingtian had been acting very odd these past few days; she would often go out, seemingly in search of something. While there was nothing suspicious about it, the usually homebody Li Qingtian suddenly changing her habits was somewhat disconcerting.

"What are you doing?"

Tang Ye asked involuntarily, to which Li Qingtian let out a chuckle, perhaps amused by his current demeanor.

"You wanted to kill Ruan Chao’en?"

"Hm? You don’t agree?"

"That’s not it," Li Qingtian shook her head, then fixed her gaze on Tang Ye, "But, do you really want it this way?"

"What else can I do, the rules are set by me, I can’t just break them," Tang Ye said frustratedly, but Li Qingtian shook her head again, leaving him with a question mark in his mind.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Are you really dissatisfied with your own decision?"

"I had no other choice."

"But... this is the Apocalypse, and isn’t this place yours? Isn’t what you say, goes?"

"Ah?"

Tang Ye was taken aback, then a realization dawned on him, right, it is the Apocalypse! If he wanted to do something, he had the right to do it, so why couldn’t he?

Li Qingtian’s words suddenly woke Tang Ye up.

"Since you’re not satisfied with your own choice, then go and do what you really want to do, create another option, especially since a Level 6 New Human is quite rare."

"I understand."

Tang Ye nodded and turned to the waiting soldier, "What I said just now is null and void. After you go down, inform the enforcement department to arrest Huang Quanjiu and Ruan Chao’en, lock them both up in Prison, and as for how many days they’ll stay, I’ll decide when they can be released. Additionally, restrict their access to resources as much as possible during this time."

"Yes!" The soldier nodded and, at Tang Ye’s gesture, quickly ran out the door.

Before long, a large group of enforcement department soldiers went to Huang Quanjiu’s residence. Confused by the situation, he was subdued by Dai Changhao. As for Ruan Chao’en, he was already being held by the enforcement department, and it did not take long for Huang Quanjiu to be thrown into Prison.

By now, he had come to realize that Tang Ye’s method of dealing was unexpected. Upon reflection, who was Tang Ye? If someone could be underhanded, the other could just slap them without any reason whatsoever.

Ruan Chao’en, just released, returned to this familiar place and could only lament, but he also breathed a sigh of relief - his gamble paid off, his life was spared.

Looking around, the bars of the cell that were broken that noon had been repaired. He thought that the cell would house someone else in the future, but ironically, both before and after, it was always the same person. Ruan Chao’en thought this, and it almost made him laugh.

"Got lucky today, need to be more careful in the future," Ruan Chao’en looked at his hands somewhat fearfully. His position in the United District was high, and he had learned something - supposedly, Marshal wanted him dead initially, but then Li Qingtian came and said a few words, persuading Tang Ye not to follow through with the usual approach. Coupled with his own dissatisfaction with Huang Quanjiu’s actions, perhaps sparing him was also a way to annoy Marshal, and so both were thrown in together.

But regardless, he had narrowly escaped death this time, and compared to before, Ruan Chao’en’s mood was very uplifted, and now someone would join him in captivity.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before he heard the voices of a few escorting soldiers from another direction.

"General Huang, just in here, please follow us."

The soldiers wore expressionless faces, leading Huang Quanjiu step by step forward.

General Huang frowned and tentatively asked the soldiers ahead, "Why are we heading this way? Wasn’t Ruan Chao’en in here before? You aren’t planning to put me in there?"

The soldiers ahead didn’t respond to his question, which irked Huang Quanjiu. Still, he was powerless; these soldiers didn’t answer to him, and offending them might lead to complaints to Vice President Xu.

As they delved deeper, Huang Quanjiu slowly saw a glimmer of light coming from deep within the corridor, shining from a cell. It seemed like there was someone inside. He looked at the cell and then at the prison uniform on his body.

"B-071?"

The cell number was B-071, and the number on Huang Quanjiu’s prison uniform was B-072, meaning his cell was opposite B-071’s.

"Who is locked up in there?" Huang Quanjiu asked curiously.

As he drew nearer, he could clearly see the person inside the cell. He was astounded.

"Ruan Chao’en? Why is it you? Weren’t you confined in building 18?"

Ruan Chao’en lay casually on the iron bed inside, as comfortable as if he were at home. Upon seeing Huang Quanjiu, he mockingly feigned surprise and then said, "Oh, you’re in too, huh? Heh, it looks like we’re cellmates from today on."

Huang Quanjiu furrowed his brows, puzzled at first, but quickly put the pieces together and could only sigh helplessly, internally acknowledging that Ruan Chao’en indeed had great luck to survive such a scenario. But while the death penalty might be avoided, living through the punishment could be worse than death. By sparing Ruan Chao’en this time, Tang Ye implied that neither would have easy days ahead.

With a cold snort, Huang Quanjiu entered his cell and sat down, imitating Ruan Chao’en’s posture. However, the gloomy environment was hard for him to accept. In the United District, his status as General had afforded him a life of luxury, even surpassing the pre-Apocalypse tycoons.

In the time that followed, because of Ruan Chao’en, the Eighth Army Corps was monitored by the enforcement department. All guard duties assigned to the Eighth Army Corps were revoked, leaving them to endlessly train on the practice field. Meanwhile, in Prison, people grew accustomed to the intermittent roars from those two big shots, cursing each other’s family women.
