Chapter 36: Someone Must Be Protected

  Chapter 36: Someone Must Take Responsibility

  (0036)

  It's estimated that Song Hailong won't foolishly jump out and identify himself as the murderer. Because exposing the identities of these five people is equivalent to exposing their secrets. Hiring someone to commit murder is a heinous crime. Once exposed, even Song Weiting, the general, can't save them. Federal law isn't always just for show.

  Besides, five foreign soldiers bullying a local recruit is a big deal that can't be justified. For the sake of the reputation of the Myanmar military base, even if Chen Duo Hai knew about this matter, he would have to cover it up. As for Chief of Staff Song Tian Gao, there's no need to mention him. His first reaction would definitely be to make those five people's records disappear without a trace.

  Because this matter is publicized, no matter how you say it, Xia Xingxiao has reason. This kind of thing, the most feared is being made public, and outsiders know about it. For example, reporters. If investigated, the Bai Yue Star Military District also has responsibility. No one will take responsibility for nothing. In this regard, Xia Xingxiao doesn't worry at all.

  After killing Wu Qilong and his men, Xia Xingxiao didn't even bother to dispose of the bodies. He simply clapped his hands carelessly and strolled out of the cave entrance at a leisurely pace. By intentionally leaving behind the corpses of Wu Qilong and his men, he was sending a warning to Song Haicheng and his brothers. At the same time, it was also a message to all the leaders of the Myanmar military base, including Chen Duohe and Yu Zilei, about what had really happened here.

  From Chen Duo Hai and Yu Zhi Lei's standpoint, they cannot help Xia Xing Xiao. However, they also cannot let outsiders commit first-degree murder against the new recruits at the Mian Luo military base. With their intelligence and surveillance of the new recruits, once they discover Wu Qi Long's corpse, they will definitely understand what happened.

  In fact, Song Hailong's approach was already a serious provocation to Chen Duohe and Yu Zhilei. If this matter wasn't exposed, there wouldn't be any big deal. However, if it was picked out, Chen Duohe would have to make his stance clear. As the commander of the Mian Luo military base, how could he tolerate a group of outsiders making a big fuss on the grounds of the Mian Luo military base? That would be treating Chen Duohe too lightly.

  What is called "digging one's own grave"? This is digging one's own grave! I estimate that when Song Hailong initially designed the assassination plan, he definitely didn't think they would slip up. Wu Qilong and others quickly entered and exited, after succeeding, as long as they left the Myanmar military base, even if Chen Duo Hai found out, there was nothing he could do to them. No evidence, what can you do to me?

  But now, Wu Qilong and others not only failed to complete the task but also left their bodies in the Myanmar military base. There are many articles inside. Where did they come from? Why did they come? And why did they die here? Who was the murderer who killed them? A series of questions have been pursued, and it is estimated that many people will be uneasy.

  As for exposing his own strength, Xia Xingxiao couldn't care less. The current situation was clear - someone wanted him dead. He didn't want to die, so he had to expose himself and get more people's attention on him. After exposure, although many enemies would notice him, there would also be some people who appreciated him, thus ensuring his safety.

  It's a very contradictory thing. He wants to leave the army, he must be low-key. But in order to keep his own life, he must be high-profile. If he continues to be low-key, it is really possible that he will die and others will forget his existence. Only by becoming the most dazzling and outstanding presence in the army can more people focus their attention on him.

  For example, it's very simple. As long as Chen Duo Hai has a genuine loving heart for him and protects him slightly, then later on Song Tian Gao wants to take any sinister actions against him, he will definitely have to be cautious. No matter how great his power is as the chief of staff, it can't compare to Chen Duo Hai's. In the Myanmar military base, Chen Duo Hai is the real boss.

  "This Ailao Star, why are there labyrinths everywhere?" Xia Xingxiao muttered to himself.

  After leaving the cave, Xia Xingxiao found himself lost. He didn't understand the road under Aiyuewei at all and could only follow his feelings. Faintly, he felt that the gravity his body was bearing had increased, and inferred that he should be near the edge of the military base. As he walked, he suddenly saw someone squatting on the ground crying at the corner, but it was Ma Peng.

  Xia Xingxiao pulled Ma Peng up with one hand. Ma Peng saw him, and his expression was a mix of shock, fear, regret, and grief, causing him to cry even more sorrowfully. However, in the end, all these emotions converged into one, which should be mostly surprise. He probably couldn't have imagined that Xia Xingxiao would fall into the enemy's encirclement of five people and still manage to escape alive.

  From the very beginning, Ma Peng was not a thoroughly bad guy. He is just an ordinary person. With ordinary people's fawning and flattery, there are also ordinary people's fear of death and cowardice. In the face of other people's threats and temptations, he would definitely be unable to withstand it. Hoping that he would be a great hero or a big shot is absolutely unrealistic. Therefore, Xia Xingxiao did not pay too much attention to his previous behavior and was relieved after being annoyed for a while.

  "Do you have anything to say?" Xia Xing asked indifferently.

  "Brother Xing, I...I...I..." Ma Peng didn't know what to say.

  What else can he say? He still has a conscience about what he did. He feels ashamed of his behavior, but he doesn't have the courage to make amends for his mistakes. In fact, he also doesn't know how to make amends. Probably this is the last time he will be called "big brother".

  As expected, Xia Xing said indifferently: "From now on, don't call me big brother again. I am not your big brother."

  Ma Peng just shut up obediently.

  "Come on, take me to a bar!"

  Ma Peng hastily led the way ahead, with a complex expression, but didn't dare say anything.

  Xia Xingxiao followed behind Ma Peng, walking at a steady pace. He believed the danger should have passed for now. Song Haicheng must think he's finished by now? Wonder what his reaction will be when he gets the accurate news?

  ……

  Myanmar military base, underground, hospital.

  Song Haicheng's mood was indeed good. He had already received the news that Wu Qilong and others were taking action. In his estimation, Xia Xingxiao would definitely not be able to escape this time. The only thing he worried about was whether Wu Qilong and others would leave any loose ends after they got rid of Xia Xingxiao.

  After all, Xia Xingxiao is a new recruit of the Mian Luo military base. If he was assassinated and the outside world found out, it would definitely cause a big stir. This Xia Xingxiao also has some background. His father in Bailu City still has some reputation. This matter will depend on Song Tianhao. As the chief of staff of the Mian Luo military base, if he makes an effort to cover up, this matter can be smoothly covered up. On the contrary, it will make a big noise.

  "Jiang Jinyan, when is Fifth Young Master planning to make his move?" Song Haicheng asked.

  Every time he thinks of his brother, Song Haicheng feels very uncomfortable. His brother had snatched the trade company from him and was now running it himself. What was originally a good mood immediately turned sour. However, with his abilities, he couldn't compete with Song Hailong, so he could only helplessly watch as things unfolded.

  The man in black replied cautiously, "As for Fifth Master's plan, I'm not clear. I heard that Fifth Master is likely to take over the Tea Bud Trade Company directly through acquisition. As for the price, it's estimated to be around five dragon coins."

  "Hmph, five dragon coins, what a big deal!" said Song Haicheng with a scowl.

  Xia Qianfeng's Chá Duō Miǎn Kuàng Shì Mào Yì Gōng Sī, valued at over 30 billion star coins, or 30 dragon coins. However, Song Haicheng is preparing to acquire it for just five dragon coins, clearly making a huge profit. At this price, Xia Qianfeng would certainly not agree. But whatever the Song family sets its sights on, no matter whether others agree or not, will ultimately be obtained.

  To achieve the goal, no matter what means are used. Or it can be said that only results are asked, not processes, this is the way Song's family handles things. Many people say that among the eight marshals of the Federal Army, the most difficult to deal with is Song Weiting. Why? It's because he is a city slicker, selfish, opportunistic, and greedy, no one can guess what his stance is.

  After a moment of contemplation, Song Haicheng said with great reluctance and discontent: "You go and investigate again, under Xia Qianfeng or Xia Xinxiao's name, what other valuable assets there are, take them all over. Even the smallest bit of meat is still meat. Since Fifth Master ate such a big piece of fat meat, he should at least leave some soup for us to drink!"

  The man in black nodded respectfully and turned away.

  ……

  After walking for about half an hour, Xia Xingxiao finally saw the legendary bar.

  The location of this bar is indeed very remote. Xia Xingxiao could clearly feel that the gravity near the bar was at least more than double that of his dormitory. Zhen Qi, who was robust, didn't feel anything at all. But Ma Peng, who led the way, slowed down noticeably. From this, it can be inferred that they should be close to the edge of the Mian Luo military base.

  The bar is floating in the air. The main body of the bar is a huge floating meteorite, estimated to be the size of a football field. On top of the meteorite, there are the main buildings of the bar and some scattered tables and chairs. Around the main meteorite, there are dozens of large and small meteorites. The largest one is as big as a basketball court, while the smallest one can only hold a small table. According to the bar's slang, these meteorites should be the so-called "private rooms" of the bar.

  These floating meteorites, and the distance from the main body of the meteorite, are at least over 100 meters, with no connecting channels in between. Therefore, to reach other meteorites, one must rely on flight techniques. With twice the gravity of a bar nearby, and the distance between the meteorites, it basically blocks people who can't fly from those so-called "VIP rooms".
