Otherwise, Chi Yang would have to watch Nuannuan walk even though he knew that his wife’s leg was injured. Basically, every time she stepped on the ground, there would be a surge of pain in his heart so bad that his abdomen would hurt.

Seeing that their boss and bro-in-law had safely retreated, Selina and Dan Qi also left with the mercenaries under Imperial Phoenix.

The network and communications signal on Wei Du’s side only returned to normal half an hour later after countless engineers had rushed to repair it. However, Nangong Nuannuan had already left. Wei Du was so angry that he nearly destroyed the command room.

“Kill! Kill them! If I don’t kill Nangong Nuannuan, I won’t be called Wei Du!” Wei Du’s eyes were burning with malice. Furthermore, if he did not kill Nangong Nuannuan now, things would only go downhill from there.

“Mr. President, please calm down! Nangong Nuannuan has already returned to Phoenix Pavilion’s headquarters. The most advanced weapon in the world is there. Don’t forget that Nangong Nuannuan isn’t just a rich lady who owns mineral veins in our Naboo, but she’s also the chairman of the entire Imperial Phoenix Group. The world’s largest private armament enterprise is under Imperial Phoenix. If we really have to fight Phoenix Pavilion, we… can’t win,” Hu Li said honestly.

Even Dan De, who had always been more radical, kept to himself this time. Although he had always been radical in his actions and was willing to maximize his leverage, Dan De was no fool.

Against Phoenix Pavilion, their chances of winning were thin.

“Then, what should we do? We’ve already burned the bridge with Nangong Nuannuan. In the future, only one of us can live. What should we do?!” Wei Du roared angrily.

Shan De looked at Hu Li. “Military Counselor, say something!”

Hu Li was absolutely infuriated. Naturally, he would not be polite toward Dan De.

“Say something? Me? What do you want me to say? Back then, I warned everyone that Nangong Nuannuan isn’t just the boss of Phoenix Pavilion, but she’s also the boss of the entire Imperial Phoenix Group. To be able to manage Imperial Phoenix since she was 12 years old and turn it into what it is today, is this something an ordinary person can do? We can only befriend someone like Nangong Nuannuan with good intentions and show her our greatest sincerity. We mustn’t be on her bad side, ever. However, all of you refused to listen and kept urging the president to kill Nangong Nuannuan. Now that the situation has turned out like this, what does Minister Dan De want me to say? Befriend her? That’s impossible now. In terms of martial strength, even if we use the best weapons, we can’t compare to hers. Other than having both sides suffer utter destruction, I can’t find a better solution.”

“d.a.m.n it!” Wei Du slammed the table, his heart filled with regret.

Hu Li continued, “Tonight, we deployed 5000 people, 20 mortars, two air-to-air missiles, two fighter jets, and countless common weapons just to kill three people in a hotel. In the end, our people suffered a large number of casualties, but not a single person on their side died. Minister Dan De, are you satisfied with what you’ve done to the president?”

Hu Li and Dan De had always been at odds with each other. Shan De relied on the fact that he was one of Wei Du’s trusted aides and always went against Hu Li. Therefore, when there was an opportunity, Hu Li would also try his best to damage Dan De’s reputation.

“Men, detain Dan De. He’s deprived of his t.i.tle as a cabinet minister.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Mr. President! Mr. President, don’t listen to Hu Li’s nonsense. He’s trying to drive a wedge between us! He’s been unhappy with me for a long time. He’s deliberately trying to suppress my power!”

Wei Du looked at Dan De and shouted angrily, “I regret listening to your slanderous words the most! If Hu Li could successfully sow discord between us from the start, I wouldn’t have started such a conflict with Nangong Nuannuan. It’s all your fault!”
