Chapter 570 - 278: The Plan Changes (Part 2)
"Changxi, if you have something to say, speak slowly, there’s no rush..." As soon as Su Jiameng entered the door, Changxi’s expression became rather nuanced, showing a desire to speak but holding back, making one feel an urge to tease, "Or perhaps, wait until you’ve organized your words?"
Changxi hesitated and struggled, and after a long while, confessed honestly, "I previously monitored Yun Cuixi’s latest movements. There are changes at the upper echelons of the Alliance, and they’ve dispatched Lieutenant General Yun Cuixi to lead the Fifth Expeditionary Corps to exterminate one of the three major Star Thief alliances, the Green Wolf Star Thief Alliance!"
Yun Cuixi... leading the Fifth Expeditionary Corps to exterminate the Green Wolf Star Thief Alliance? Su Jiameng’s expression also became indescribably nuanced, "Changxi, are you sure Yun Cuixi is going to exterminate the Star Thieves and not secretly colluding with the Green Wolf Star Thief Alliance to exchange codes?"
Internal strife? That’s impossible! Whether it’s Yun Cuixi or that guy from the Green Wolf Star Thief Alliance, they’re both crucial pieces for the research institute, and there’s no way they’d sacrifice either one... because what benefit would come from doing that? It would only mean losing a general!
"The intercepted secret order is indeed that... Yun Cuixi will depart soon!" Changxi’s face was solemn. For the Expedition Army, exterminating Star Thieves or whatnot is a compulsory lesson every year, with even some academy students tagging along for experience.
The research institute recently lost two major generals, and the losses can’t be calculated simply by numbers! There’s no inappropriate time to exterminate Star Thieves, yet they chose this delicate moment! Moreover, the lieutenant general dispatched by the authorities is the rather gentle-natured Yun Cuixi, not the soon-to-return, iron-faced Li You...
Su Jiameng half-closed her eyes, a chill in her gaze, "Two people died in succession, leaving no trace at all, naturally causing anxiety for that research institute. If a research institute could elevate someone to a Star Thief leader, they certainly have more means to place people into the Alliance’s upper echelons. Having such an order is not surprising. After all, from an outsider’s perspective, there’s nothing questionable about this order..."
"According to the master’s meaning... the Alliance’s upper levels..." Changxi’s adam’s apple moved, his expression carrying a trace of horror, "This..."
"Nothing is impossible... In any case, the situation is settled, and we should also change our battle plan." Su Jiameng sneered, "Originally, I wanted to deal with Yun Cuixi last, but unexpectedly, he ran off to Qiming Star... courting death!"
Changxi knew Su Jiameng well, but even now, he was somewhat unable to fathom the other’s intentions, "Does the master mean... to take action against Yun Cuixi?" Based on the four people discovered so far, Yun Cuixi held the least real power, yet he was also the most openly righteous one.
Once inexplicably cut down, spreading this news would cause great harm to the Alliance, which was why Su Jiameng had not acted.
"Changxi... what do you think, if Lieutenant General Yun Cuixi led the Fifth Expeditionary Corps to exterminate one of the three major Star Thief alliances, and yet the enemy was incredibly cunning, with the lieutenant general exhausting his wisdom and strategy, ultimately choosing to perish alongside the enemy leader for the Alliance and righteousness... how glorious and honorable it would be... After death, couldn’t he posthumously earn military merit and rise to Vice Admiral?"
Changxi’s eyes narrowed, his master’s intention... was to use this opportunity to eliminate both Yun Cuixi and the Star Thief leader? Indeed, perishing together is such a good excuse and the most faultless approach!
After thinking, Changxi responded, "If such a tragic heroism truly occurred, the public would likely be grateful for the lieutenant general’s bravery and sacrifice, resenting those vile people who harmed the lieutenant general... If properly maneuvered, morale wouldn’t decrease but rather increase..."
"Yeah, killing two birds with one stone..." Su Jiameng smirked, "Originally, I planned to team up with Luo Xin to tackle that Green Wolf Star Thief Alliance, but ultimately, strength was somewhat lacking, with a success rate hovering around fifty-fifty. But now, with the Fifth Expeditionary Army’s friendly help, the success rate is absolutely one hundred percent! Changxi, don’t you think this is good news?"
Saying she hadn’t moved against Yun Cuixi doesn’t mean Su Jiameng didn’t want to kill him. In fact, having let this man bounce around under her nose for over five years made her deeply uncomfortable! But to consider the bigger picture, she had to suppress her urge to kill. Now that he’s handed his life over, there’s no reason for Su Jiameng not to take it. Yun Cuixi... this time, you’re doomed!
As for letting this evil-doing fellow die and still have a good reputation afterward... Su Jiameng doesn’t care about that. No matter how good the reputation, what does it matter when your life is gone? Whatever others say about you in death, the dead know nothing of it.
It’s just posthumous honor, the glory is bright, but once a person is gone, everything is meaningless!
After a sleepless night, Su Jiameng calculated every possibility, striving to perfect this plan to take down these two in one stroke! If the plan succeeds, four out of nine will be lost. She aims to eliminate these nine one by one, then settle accounts with that research institute!
As dawn broke, she rubbed her stiff shoulders, took a hot shower, then went to the underground training room to warm up. After working up a sweat, the two buns had already gotten up and were diligently using the training room equipment to assist with their training.
"Morning, Mom..." Huaifeng, dressed in a clean and smart cross-collar martial arts outfit, with a light sweat on his forehead, gave off a sunny and healthy vibe. After warming up, naturally, came the guidance spar between the three of them...
Considering the two little devils still had lessons, Su Jiameng only trained them lightly, then threw them into a tub of warm water, "Wash up quickly, and don’t be late for your morning classes..."
Cleaning up to head for school, Huaifeng reluctantly tugged at her sleeve and said, "Mom, the parent-teacher meeting..."
"Yes, I’ll definitely attend, Xiao Feng and Xiao Xi can rest assured, mom will certainly be there." Su Jiameng smiled faintly. Of course, going to a parent-teacher meeting is a must, otherwise, how wronged would her two buns feel? (To be continued.
