“Are we gonna just let that woman go?” Lin Feng frowned as he looked at Lin Qiao with discontentment.

“Of course, no! But right now, we can’t let her ruin our relationship with Sea City Base. That will do us no good after all. Let’s wait for Wu Chengyue to arrive and see how he’ll decide,” Lin Qiao said.

“Giving her to Wu Chengyue is no different from sending her back, isn’t it?” Lin Feng asked.

“You’re overthinking. How can I possibly let her go? But, no matter what she wants, we should still wait for Wu Chengyue, so that they can’t blame us if anything bad happens,” Lin Qiao glanced at him and said.

“Oh, I get it. Are you saying that we can’t do anything to her now, but after she leaves our base, we can make a move secretly?” Lin Feng nodded.

Yuan Tianxing crossed his arms before his chest, then raised a hand to prop his chin while saying, “That’s not a decent way. But, we surely can’t just let her go. However, if we just give her to Wu Chengyue, would we seem a little cowardly?”

After all, others might see them in a different way. No matter what they might do secretly, they would seem cowardly. That woman had offended them, but they sent her back home.

“I guess Lin Qiao will ask Wu Chengyue to exchange for her by using something equally valuable as that woman…” Lin Feng looked at Lin Qiao and said.

“Yeah! As Lin Feng said, I’ll do that on condition. Do you think I’ll let Wu Chengyue take her away without a price? I’m not that nice!” Lin Qiao smiled, her eyes glowing with a sharp light.

“She’s a woman, a pretty woman, and she’s a Deputy Chief. What do you want in exchange for her?” Yuan Tianxing paused slightly, then asked her a question.

Lin Qiao raised five fingers as she curved her lips in a smile, saying, “Five level-six zombie nuclei. What do you think? Will that be enough?”

Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing looked at her without knowing what to say. Judging by the look in their eyes, they both felt that she was demanding an exorbitant price.

One level-six zombie nucleus was easy to get. Sea City Base might have two or three of them in stock. However, giving out five of them at one time might be a little difficult.

It had only been five years since the apocalypse. Some zombies had evolved into level-six, but not many. So, it was indeed a little inappropriate for Lin Qiao to charge five level-six zombie nuclei for a woman.

After getting five zombie nuclei from them, she also planned to launch a lethal move in secret…

That did sound like something Lin Qiao might do! In good words, she just didn’t want to suffer losses, and in bad words, that was… an ignoble thing to do!

That woman shouldn’t have offended her. Lin Qiao was never a big-hearted person. For anyone who offended her, she normally would make them pay multiple times over.

“Our targets are the Earth Dragon Base, Sky Fire Base, and Hidden Cloud Base. We don’t want to make our neighbors an enemy. That’ll do us no good,” Lin Qiao thought for a moment and then said, “For the sake of five zombie nuclei, we’ll let that woman live. As for her power, we should just waste it.”

“I agree,” Lin Feng nodded.

“Me too. They’ll suspect us if we really get her killed,” Yuan Tianxing thought for a moment, then nodded as well.

“Alright! Tianxing, you send someone to deliver the news to Sea City Base tomorrow morning, “Lin Qiao gave Yuan Tianxing an order and then stood up, heading toward the door.

“Good, I think we should call it a night!”

Next day, Yuan Tianxing sent Du Yuanxing to Sea City in the morning.

“What did you say? Yan Fangyu? Steal files?” With a surprised look, Wu Chengyue looked at Du Yuanxing who was sitting in front of him, his eyes containing confusion.

“That’s right. Last night, she sneaked into our conference room while we were sleeping. I don’t know what she was looking for. She also killed our guard,” Du Yuanxing nodded and said.

“Do you keep important files in the conference room? Why did she look for things there?” Wu Chengyue looked at him confusedly.

“There’re more residents in the hotel now, so we’ve locked all our files in a cabinet in the conference room. Usually, the room is guarded. Of course, the important files will only be kept in the rooms of our leaders. As for why your Deputy Chief Yan sneaked into our conference room to look for things, I’m afraid you’ll have to ask her that question yourself,” Du Yuanxing said.

Whatever purpose she had, the fact that she sneaked into the conference room without permission and killed a person meant that she had violated the rule.

“So…” Wu Chengyue had already understood Du Yuanxing’s meaning as he looked at him and asked. He knew what Du Yuanxing was going to say next would be the real important part.

“Our Chief wants to invite you to our place, to bring her back, and also to give us an explanation. We won’t harm Deputy Chief Yan, but you Sea City Base owe us one. After all, she broke into our conference room and killed one of our people.” Du Yuanxing said with composure.

He sometimes seemed a little silly, but when it came to the serious things, he never messed up.

“Eh… I seem to remember that Yan Fangyu only arrived at your base yesterday. She spent one single night there and made trouble?” Wu Chengyue sighed with a faint smile and then said.

Du Yuanxing shrugged as he replied, “Believe it or not, she has already been held in custody by our Chief. So, if you have any problem, please go and talk to our Chief. See you!”

Watching Du Yuanxing leave, Wu Chengyue sat on the couch silently with a slight frown.

“Did Deputy Chief Yan really do that kind of thing? Why? What made her search through their files at night so impatiently?” Xiao Licheng stood beside him and asked with confusion.

Wu Chengyue thought for a moment and then responded, “Something in that place might have attracted her. Those Upper City Base people didn’t tell us what exactly happened. Since she sneaked into their conference room to look for some kind of files, I guess it must be about the new base that they’ve been building. But, Du Yuanxing said that she killed a soldier. That is very wrong. No matter what she wanted, she shouldn’t have killed a person!”

“They want you there to give them an explanation. I don’t think it’s gonna end in a good way,” Xiao Licheng frowned as well.

“Em, stay out of it for now. Just go and tell Zou about this, and see what attitude he’ll hold. I think we’ll need to pay a good price to get that woman back,” said Wu Chengyue.

“Yes, sir,” Xiao Licheng replied quickly, then turned and left.

Wu Chengyue turned to look at Wu Yueling who was by his side, then smiled at her, “Ling Ling, you see, now we have to go there.”

Wu Yueling, who was having some fun alone, glanced at him confusedly, her sparkling eyes wearing a confused look.
