Chapter 590: Chapter 589: Someone Comes to Seize Territory
A minute later, without waiting for Yang Fei’s reply, Tong Yunshu didn’t care if the plane was being monitored, and directly dialed Yang Fei’s number.
Yang Fei answered quickly.
Tong Yunshu said, "Did you see the message I sent you?"
"What message?"
"Go check it now." Tong Yunshu hung up after speaking and continued to wait.
On the plane, Tong Jinchuan’s heart thudded wildly. He felt that the actions of this young new clan leader seemed a bit too far beyond the Tong Family’s ’business’ scope. He was truly worried that it would cause trouble.
Inside the valley of Yunwu Mountain.
After receiving Tong Yunshu’s call, Yang Fei checked his text messages.
Sure enough, there was a message.
After reading the content, Yang Fei also furrowed his brows.
He immediately dialed Qin Yanyang’s number.
"Hello, husband," Qin Yanyang’s voice came through.
Hearing the loud noises in the background, clearly from a helicopter, Yang Fei asked, "You’re almost there, right?"
"Not that soon," Qin Yanyang replied. "It should take another two hours."
Concerned that Yang Fei was missing her after being apart for so long and might start sharing some intimate words reserved for couples, she quickly added, "I’m on the plane, lots of people around, let’s not talk now."
"Wait." Yang Fei immediately said, "There are twelve military helicopters flying in from the Central Battle Zone. Are they your people?"
"What?" Qin Yanyang was slightly surprised. "Are you sure?"
"Certain," Yang Fei replied.
Tong Yunshu couldn’t possibly deceive him, especially not about something like this, so his answer was very firm.
"I’ll hang up now and check." Qin Yanyang ended the call.
Aboard a military helicopter flying high over the route from Binhai to the large forest in Bear Mountain District, Qin Yanyang and several members of the Military Department sat silently.
After receiving Yang Fei’s call, Qin Yanyang immediately pulled up a number and dialed it.
Soon, the call connected, and an authoritative voice came through, "Hello, this is the Central Battle Zone Communications Department. Who are you looking for?"
"This is Qin Yanyang. Please connect me to your headquarters."
"Okay, please hold on." The person on the other end, clearly having recognized Qin Yanyang’s name, responded promptly.
A moment later, the call was transferred to the command of the battle zone.
A deep voice came through: "Yanyang, why are you calling Uncle Chu so late?"
"Uncle Chu, good evening. I’m very sorry for disturbing your rest at this late hour, but I have an urgent and important matter I need to confirm with you," Qin Yanyang responded immediately.
The counterpart was an elite of the Chu Family, belonging to the same generation as her father and held a high position in the upper echelons, prompting Qin Yanyang to speak with great respect.
"Oh, tell me," Chu Shiguang said.
"It’s like this, are you currently dispatching helicopters from the Central Battle Zone?" Qin Yanyang asked.
"Yes. We’ve located a highly important strategic point and have decided to take control of it," Chu Shiguang replied.
Qin Yanyang’s heart chilled as she asked, "Is it the Yunwu Mountain Medicinal Herb Base?"
"Eh, how did you know? This is a secret of our Central Battle Zone. Who blabbed about it? I’ll have to settle the score with them later," Chu Shiguang said sternly.
Qin Yanyang’s heart sank, and she said, "Uncle Chu, the Yunwu Mountain Medicinal Herb Base had already been designated as an important test site by our Military Department. The Military Department will establish a laboratory here. This matter is very important, related to the future of the country. So, the fact that your Central Battle Zone treats it as a strategic location, could you perhaps consider altering that?"
"Oh, is that so? The Military Department is also interested in that place? Hahaha, it seems that it truly is a treasure land. However, since this is part of Jiangbei County under the jurisdiction of our Central Battle Zone, if it really is important to your Military Department, we can discuss it. I will report it later, and Uncle Chu will help you apply for an area to establish a laboratory. After all, the Military Department is still part of the Military Department, right?"
"Uncle Chu, the Military Department operates independently from the Military Department and is a completely autonomous department," Qin Yanyang firmly stated.
"All are departments of the nation, there is no real independence."
"I am already on my way to the Yunwu Mountain Medicinal Herb Base. Did Uncle Chu personally go there too?" Qin Yanyang asked.
"No, it was the personnel from the Strategic Department who went. I am not in charge of this matter."
"Okay, I understand, goodbye Uncle Chu."
On the helicopter, Qin Yanyang’s face was cold, and a trace of ferocity flashed across her brow.
She had seen much deceit and struggle; she had always avoided involvement, wanting only to accomplish real work for the country.
However, others clearly did not want her to stay out of the strife.
Where there are people, there is struggle, there are grievances, there is the Martial Arts World.
Holding her mobile phone, Qin Yanyang’s mind was filled with thoughts, but ultimately, she put the phone back in her pocket.
She would first go to the scene to see what the situation was.
After all, she had already submitted a report before coming, requesting the higher-ups to designate this place as a military stronghold and put it under the control of the Military Department.
As for what the Central Battle Zone intended, she was not clear yet.
If it could be negotiated later, all would be well.
Wait, it seemed she had forgotten something.
Qin Yanyang immediately took out her mobile phone again and dialed Yang Fei’s number.
"How is it?" Yang Fei’s voice came immediately.
"Indeed, people from the Central Battle Zone’s United Front Department have gone there. The Central Battle Zone seems to want that land too; I am not very clear on the specifics. I’ll be there in about an hour and a half. Before that, you and Hu Lizhong try to restrain yourselves and avoid conflicts with them. Understand?" Qin Yanyang instructed.
She knew Yang Fei, knew that he was hot-headed, especially since the other party was competing with the Military Department for the land, which could very likely infuriate Yang Fei.
Sure enough, Yang Fei became unhappy upon hearing this and asked, "What’s going on? Isn’t the Military Department integrated with the Military Department? Why is there still such absurdity as competing for land?"
"There are many unclean things involved here; you don’t quite understand. I’ll explain later. Remember my words, do not act impulsively, okay?" Qin Yanyang admonished.
"Unclean things?" Yang Fei was perplexed, "What do you mean?"
A few black lines appeared on Qin Yanyang’s forehead. "It means nothing in particular, but you’ll listen to me, right?"
"Of course, don’t you know me? The wife’s words are an imperial edict; I must obey," Yang Fei responded.
Qin Yanyang smiled slightly, imagining how Yang Fei looked now, and she felt much more at ease.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yanyang still felt somewhat uneasy.
Even though Yang Fei had promised her, he had only recently joined the Military Department and lacked the ingrained obedience typical of a soldier.
She then made another call to Hu Lizhong, repeated the situation, and told him to stabilize the overall situation and keep an eye on Yang Fei.
Hu Lizhong expressed great anger and disdain for the actions of the Central Battle Zone over the phone, but he still accepted Qin Yanyang’s order and assured that he would watch over Yang Fei and absolutely avoid any conflict with the others before she arrived.
Qin Yanyang put away her phone and urged her subordinates, "Increase the speed, rush there as fast as possible."
