Chapter 603: Chapter 603: The Reaction of the Han Family Chapter 603: Chapter 603: The Reaction of the Han Family Su Jin had not expected Bu Hong to become the Base Leader of F City so smoothly.

These past few days, she had been binge-watching dramas with Qiqi in their rented house and counting Crystal Cores in her Space to pass the time. After finishing an entire romantic drama series, the two of them finally became restless.

“We girls are going shopping, and we don’t need boys to follow us. Xiao Yue, you just stay at home and watch the house,”
Mao Qiqi asserted boldly to Lian Jiyue, who was ready to follow them out.

“…”

What happened to doing this together? Lian Jiyue was stunned.

“Be good, I’ll leave the tablet here for you. It has Plants vs. Zombies and Ski Adventure on it,”
Qiqi gently patted Lian Jiyue’s head, trying to console him.

She and Sister Xiao Jin might even go to the villa area later; it wouldn’t be good if Xiao Yue noticed something.

Lian Jiyue stated he didn’t want to play Plants vs. Zombies. He had already had plenty of real-life experiences of Plant vs. Zombies battles, but he obediently stayed in the rented house to “watch the house.”

Girls, huh? Lian Jiyue thought of Qiqi’s words and still found it somewhat amusing.

Inside B City Base, the Han Family convened what was arguably the most difficult meeting in their history.

Han Yue had only learned upon his return that the former vassal D City Base had its Base Leader replaced before the New Year.

In the past couple of days, their spies inside F City Base had sent back news: F City Base Leader Liu Jianyuan was killed in an explosion, and F City Base had already elected a new Base Leader, who came from the True Martial Sect and had no ties to the Han Family.

Snap!

Han Zhimin, unable to contain his rage, slapped the conference table: “We had just sent a batch of supplies after the blizzard, and now Liu Jianyuan is dead?!”

Yuan Hongying, seated at the outermost part of the room, trembled slightly. Originally captured in D City, it was only when his life was hanging by a thread that he was rescued by the Han Family’s spies within D City, and after much difficulty, he made it to the distant B City. Little did he expect that in just three months’ time, F City Base would also fall to someone else.

“Father, let’s not forget, apart from D City and F City Bases, there is also A City Base,”
Han Jin reminded him.

“That poor mountainous area of A City Base, if it’s gone, it’s gone. Besides, it was only a matter of time before a problem arose there,”
Han Zhimin said.

Han Yue, however, had a different view: “Father, it’s happened once and then twice, but now there is a third occurrence; surely you do not think this is just a coincidence?”

“Hmph, it would be better if it were a coincidence. Regarding this incident at F City Base, I want someone to immediately conduct a thorough investigation. I want to see who is deliberately targeting our Han Family!”

Han Zhimin certainly did not believe that these incidents were mere coincidences, but these three Bases were far apart and there were indeed reasons for the events. It was possible only if there was someone stirring trouble from behind the scenes.

“Colonel Yuan, you mentioned you were captured by a woman with the Wood Element and Deputy Zhang died because of her?”

Han Yue asked Yuan Hongying, who was in the outer circle.

Yuan Hongying seemed to be caught in a daze, as though he heard someone address him as Colonel Yuan, a title that had not been used for him for a long time. It took him a moment to realize that Han Family’s eldest son was calling him.

“Yes, yes, yes, she bound me with vines, and even conjured a Mutated Plant that swallowed Deputy Zhang’s bomb. It seemed she had a grudge against Deputy Zhang and captured me to leverage against him,”
Yuan Hongying answered shakily, afraid of missing any details.

Han Yue looked towards Han Zhimin. There was no mistake; a woman who could use vines and summon mutated plants had to be Su Jin.

“Then do you know what grievances Deputy Zhang had with them?”

Han Jin curiously asked, “The Heart Talk Team is in S City, so did they run to D City just for revenge?”

“It’s not really about revenge. At the beginning of the Apocalypse, I saw that their martial arts were extraordinary, so I had Deputy Zhang go to capture them for our base, but Deputy Zhang failed and they got away. That doesn’t really count as a grudge, does it?”

Even now, Yuan Hongying still couldn’t figure out what exactly Deputy Zhang had done to anger that Wood Element woman so much that she even killed him.

“Tell us again in detail what happened in D City at that time.”

Han Zhimin said, though Yuan Hongying had explained several times before, Han Yue hadn’t been there at the time.

Yuan Hongying nodded and began, “The trouble with our base’s water supply began after several suppliers arrived…”

As Yuan Hongying spoke, Han Yue’s brows furrowed into a deep frown–several suppliers? Why did he immediately think of the Heart Talk Team?

But upon seeing the video footage that was passed to him, he had no choice but to exclude the Heart Talk Team.

Zhang Xiaohong, Chen Daming?

And the suppliers caught on the photo didn’t look like Su Jin and the others from the Heart Talk Team at all, so was Su Jin’s presence in D City just a coincidence?

“Chen Liang sent someone to say that among the suppliers at F City Base, there was a person named Long Aotian, and there was also one named Chen Daming,”
Han Jin reminded him.

“It seems they are the same group. Are those people still in F City Base now?”

Han Zhimin asked immediately.

“According to the people who reported back the day before yesterday, they’re still there,”
someone answered.

“Send someone to investigate right away, find out who these people are,”
Han Zhimin was very suspicious–could these people be from the Wei Family? Why were they always causing trouble for them?

“Father, let me go. Big brother just got back and was startled, and I’ve been to F City Base before. I still have some acquaintances there,”
Han Jin volunteered.

Yet his words didn’t sound very pleasant to Han Yue. What did he mean by startled?

“Actually… I’m more curious about where these people got so many supplies. It’s said that everyone in the base could buy supplies from them. If we could have such an amount of supplies, it should be a great help to us,”
Han Yue didn’t have the intention to bicker with Han Jin in front of so many people, but his statement resonated with Han Zhimin as supplies were indeed Han Family’s weakness.

“Take more people with you, and if you can convince them to join us, that would be best. Otherwise, bring someone back alive,”
Han Zhimin said to Han Jin.

The F City Base wasn’t far from the B City Base, only separated by the N City Base in between, and Han Jin decided to leave the next day.

“I heard Aunt arrived these past few days?”

After the meeting, Han Yue asked.

“She did, but I didn’t bother with her nonsense. You go see her when you’re free. Who knows what she’s up to this time,”
Han Zhimin spoke with irritation. His sister was only good at causing trouble every day. She said she came to find her husband, but her husband ran off to S City and had no intention of seeing her. What a joke!
