Chapter 148: 146 Their Mission

Hua Mi left the Chen Family’s villa, and Yu Guanglin then found Chen Hu.

He asked Chen Hu,

"Are you not afraid that the Garrison, having lost the garrison commander of City A, will really defect to Gong Yi?"

Gong Yi, indeed, was the kind of person who could achieve great things, a fact Yu Guanglin had to admit.

Even though Gong Yi had forced Yu Guanglin to have no choice but to leave Xiang City, it must be said that many in the Garrison respected Gong Yi as a person.

Chen Hu snorted, turned around, and seated himself in front of the fireplace in the luxurious living room.

In such a tense environment of resource scarcity, his home’s fireplace was still burning dry firewood,

"I haven’t done anything to the garrison of City A. Until now, everything I’ve done hasn’t harmed the Garrison’s interests by half, so why would they leave me?"

As Chen Hu spoke, he said that after obtaining the material warehouse of City A, he had not treated the garrison of City A poorly.

Even amidst such a scarcity of supplies, he was still able to ensure the garrison of City A was supplied, so they could not only eat well and stay warm but also provide for their families.

Chen Hu thought he had treated the garrison of City A quite well, thus why should the garrison of City A abandon him and choose to defect to Gong Yi of Xiang City?

It made no sense.

"Look at all the cities around City A, which one could do what I have done? In my hands, the Garrison won’t have any needless sacrifices."

Chen Hu believed that saving survivors, ordinary people, the common folk, was a needless sacrifice.

There were thousands upon thousands of ordinary survivors, and they did nothing but wait for disaster to strike, hoping for rescue. At such a time, who would come to their rescue?

Dreaming would be quicker.

So under his command, the Garrison wouldn’t need to do these things. The Garrison only needed to serve the Chen Family. As long as there were no enemies of the Chen Family, the Garrison could remain safe.

Yu Guanglin felt that something was wrong with what Chen Hu was saying, yet he couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the fault lay.

At that moment, the news of Chen Lu’s death was delivered to the Chen Family’s villa.

Chen Hu was in the midst of pouring red wine for Yu Guanglin. Upon hearing the news, the bottle slipped from his hand with a clatter onto the glass table.

He looked up incredulously at the person who had brought the news and asked,

"How did he die?"

This shouldn’t be happening. He had just spoken on the phone with Third Young Master Chen not long ago; how could he be dead?

The bearer of the news handed over an autopsy report of Third Young Master Chen,

"The bullet found in the Young Master came from the Garrison, with a number on it. I had it checked, and it’s a bullet from the Xiang City Garrison."

With a slap, Chen Hu threw the wine glass in his hand,

"It’s that dog, Gong Yi!"

His younger brother, his Third Young Master Chen, had been killed by that dog, Gong Yi! How dare he? How dare he touch a member of the Chen Family?

How dared Gong Yi do this?

Silence ensued; Yu Guanglin cast his eyes down, not daring to speak out of turn at this time. Being dependent on others, it was better for him to keep a low profile.

Suddenly, a pained cry came from upstairs,

"My Third, ah, my Third, how could you be dead? How could you just be dead?"

Following that, a maid from upstairs ran down in a panic, her face full of shock as she looked at Chen Hu, about to speak when an elderly woman with white hair, sobbing and trembling, cried out loudly,

"Chen Hu, Chen Hu! Third is dead? How did he die? Ah, my grandson, my poor grandson~~"

Chen Hu’s eyes reddened as he went upstairs to comfort the old lady of the Chen Family,

"Grandma, grandma, don’t worry. I will avenge Third’s death, grandma~~ Doctor, hurry, call the doctor over."

Chaos erupted in the villa of the Chen Family; Chen Lu’s murder plunged the family into immense grief.

After so many years, the Chen Family had not been humiliated like this. The sight of elders sending off their younger kin was an indignity both enraging and sorrowful.

Within a short while, a group of family doctors with medical kits hurried into the villa and went upstairs.

Yu Guanglin stood quietly in the living room on the first floor, watching the day-to-day affairs of this giant family.

As a member of the management class, even if he had ascended to the top position in Xiang City, he couldn’t live in a large villa, let alone have his own family doctor.

That was a matter of regulation.

Therefore, the luxury of the Chen Family filled Yu Guanglin with envy.

Even with covetous longing.

Chen Hu’s face darkened quickly as he came down from the second floor,

"Commander Yu, did I hear you say that someone named Hua Mi is having an inappropriate relationship with Gong Yi?"

Before Yu Guanglin could speak, Chen Hu pointed to his own villa,

"I’ll give you a team of men, a team of strong men, go and take care of that Hua Mi."

The meaning of taking care of Hua Mi, of course, was in the most venomous and inhumane way possible, a brutal method.

In the end, Gong Yi would understand, the cost of provoking the Chen Family meant that no one close to him could live in peace.

Yu Guanglin hesitated,

"I occupy the first seat in the city’s management, you’re asking me to do such a thing..."

"Do you like this villa? I’ll give you one just like it."

Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Hu interrupted Yu Guanglin.

In this world, everyone has a price, no matter how noble the person’s past status was, as long as you can afford the price, you can make them do anything.

Yu Guanglin fell silent. At this moment, accepting a villa identical to the Chen Family’s meant he had completely joined Chen Hu’s ranks, becoming one of his own.

The symbolism of this was more than just a villa identical to the Chen Family’s could fully explain.

He nodded slightly, agreeing to Chen Hu’s price...

After leaving the Chen Family, Liu Shengyuan arrived at the A City garrison camp.

No sooner had he stepped out of the car than several members of the garrison stood up and silently watched him.

He knew they were waiting for a word, a word from the garrison commander of A City, whether to stay or to leave A City.

Liu Shengyuan opened his mouth and spoke the truth,

"This time, I didn’t see our Commander either."

Missing the garrison commander again meant they still couldn’t enter the city to rescue, they could only continue to guard the A City supply depot.

They could only watch as their armory was looted, unable to take any action.

In a silence as dead as silence can be, suddenly a member of the garrison spoke up,

"I’m done with this, I’m going to Xiang City."

They had all received Gong Yi’s telegram; they were all waiting for their own garrison commander to come out and say a word.

Gong Yi said they had lost their garrison commander, whether Gong Yi spoke truth or lies, the garrison commander of A City, just needed to come out and say one word.

But like always, there came no response.

Liu Shengyuan had not even seen the face of the garrison commander of A City.

So now, it was no different than having lost the commander.

The silence continued.

A garrison member stepped forward, his garrison backpack slung over his shoulder, clearly set for a long journey.

He walked up to Liu Shengyuan, stood at attention, and saluted with steely eyes,

"I am a member of the garrison. Since the day I joined, I swore loyalty to the Commander’s orders. I swore to live up to the name ’garrison.’ I swear I am humanity’s flesh and blood Great Wall. I swear to use my flesh and blood to forge a line of defense that protects the people’s lowest baseline."

So it wasn’t that they would be satisfied with just food and drink. That’s not the case.

They were not doing what they should have been doing.

They were not any family’s private security, not a team to maintain their strength in the face of difficulties and danger.

They are a flesh and blood Great Wall; their mission is to protect, protect, protect!!!
