Chapter 598: Chapter 597: The Husband-Doting Maniac Qin Yanyang
From the attitude of the elder brother, Chu Que discerned the crux of the issue.
Be it the Chu Family or other powers, none wished to see the Qin Family continue to strengthen unopposed, especially not with something as valuable as the Genetic Liquid Medicine, which they would not allow to remain solely in the hands of the Qin Family.
However, at the same time, no one could afford to truly tear their faces apart since it would not be conducive to maintaining the overall stability.
Therefore, what he had to do next was to negotiate with Qin Yanyang as much as possible to secure some benefits.
After adjusting his mindset, Chu Que no longer felt embarrassed about being intimidated by Yang Fei in front of his subordinates.
After all, the other party was a Divine Travel Realm powerhouse.
Besides, there was no need for a confrontation when being discreet, nor a necessity to stubbornly resist to the end.
Yes, it wasn’t that I, Chu Que, was afraid to fight to the death; it was that everyone wanted to maintain a balance.
Soon, a helicopter appeared above the valley of Yunwu Mountain, and after confirming a place where the aircraft could land, the helicopter descended onto a spot cleared by the Central Battle Zone.
The first to disembark from the aircraft were several elite members of the Military Department, armed with special weapons and exuding a murderous aura, they set up a vigilant guard around the helicopter, their sharp gazes scrutinizing the special soldiers of the Central Battle Zone.
In the face of these elites from the Military Department, the special soldiers of the Central Battle Zone felt oppressed and grew exceedingly nervous.
Following them, Qin Yanyang, dressed in casual clothes, jumped down from the aircraft.
She wore a beige hollow knit shirt, underneath which the pink bra and her fair skin were faintly visible, and a pair of jeans that outlined her symmetrical and proud figure.
Her hair was still tied in a simple and efficient high ponytail, and she wore a pair of white canvas shoes. Despite being without makeup, her beauty still overshadowed the contemporary.
Chu Que, looking at the woman who, despite her simple attire, still emitted a strong aura of confidence, took a deep breath and approached her, saying, "Minister Qin, hello, I am Chu Que from the Central Battle Zone, welcome to your visit in Jiangbei County."
After speaking, he extended a hand to show his welcome.
Qin Yanyang, with a cool expression, glanced around, saw that the area was controlled by the armed forces of the Central Battle Zone, and instead of shaking hands, she gave Chu Que a military salute.
Chu Que felt slightly embarrassed, but he reacted quickly, retracting his hand and returning the salute.
"Yang Fei." After lowering her hand, Qin Yanyang still did not pay attention to Chu Que, but instead called out Yang Fei’s name.
From the dormitory building, Yang Fei once again emerged. Seeing Qin Yanyang, he immediately smiled, "Wife, you’re finally here. Your husband almost got expelled."
He had known of Qin Yanyang’s arrival long before, but he chose not to come down right away, wanting to see her attitude first.
Qin Yanyang’s disregard for Chu Que secretly pleased him. That’s my wife, her presence is so powerful, even someone like Chu Que has to take it in stride.
Listening to Yang Fei’s words, Qin Yanyang’s brows furrowed slightly, and she turned to Chu Que, "What do you have to say?"
A shiver ran through Chu Que’s heart.
Although his rank was lower than Qin Yanyang’s, they were not from the same system, and he could have stood up to her without fear, but when Qin Yanyang’s gaze fell upon him, he felt an inexplicable and terrifying oppression.
Wasn’t this woman a recent arrival to the Innate Realm? How could her presence be so formidable, surpassing many of the veteran Innate Realm seniors he had encountered?
"Ahem, it was a misunderstanding," Chu Que hastened to say. "Previously I was not aware that Yang... your husband was here, and besides, I was acting on the orders from above."
Qin Yanyang was somewhat surprised.
She had prepared herself for a confrontation with the Chu family people on her way here, but from the moment she landed and saw Chu Que, he had been nothing but low-key, which was unexpected.
Now, she was questioning in a confrontational tone, which already was considered provocation and extremely impolite to Chu Que, and yet he still endured it and was eagerly explaining himself, an attitude that made her thoughtful.
The key point was that such an attitude from Chu Que left her no room to erupt in anger.
"Perhaps many people think my husband is just a poor farmer, merely a Martial Artist; they don’t realize he doesn’t hold a high position and so they disdain and underestimate him," Qin Yanyang said slowly to Chu Que. "But he is very important in my heart. There has always been a saying that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. I, Qin Yanyang, married him and became his woman. He is my sky, so anyone who disrespects him disrespects me, Qin Yanyang.
If the Hidden Sect wants to detain my husband, I can go to any length to bring him out. Can’t this make clear to you and others how much I value him?"
Her tone was very calm and her demeanor extremely pleasant, as if she were discussing a very ordinary matter, yet the sound of her voice in Chu Que’s ears exerted an invisible pressure.
Qin Yanyang was telling him—and wished to tell other ambitious people through him—that she cared deeply about Yang Fei and was willing to become an enemy to the whole world for his sake.
If anyone looked down on Yang Fei because of his humble background and lack of an official position, it was a provocation toward her, Qin Yanyang.
This inevitably reminded Chu Que of an incident.
At the time, just after Qin Yanyang had married Yang Fei, it was said that Zhang Yunlong had secretly sent someone to try to kill Yang Fei. The result was that Qin Yanyang flew back to the Imperial City from Binhai that very night and slapped Zhang Yunlong in front of a group of second generation elites.
Furthermore, given this matter of sealing off the Hidden Sects, Qin Yanyang had already demonstrated her regard for Yang Fei through her actions—not once, but twice in succession.
Yet, many people still hadn’t taken this seriously.
Including himself.
Of course, this wasn’t entirely his fault, after all, who would have imagined that the Heavenly Pride Girl, none other than Qin Yanyang, would be so infatuated with love, placing Yang Fei of such paramount importance.
On the other side, Yang Fei, who had just jumped down from the dorm building, and Hu Lizhong, who had just come up to meet him, also heard Qin Yanyang’s words.
Hu Lizhong felt a chill in his heart and stole a glance at Yang Fei, thinking it was fortunate that he had never offended Yang Fei and had always treated him with respect and courtesy.
As for Yang Fei, it was as if a spring breeze had caressed his heart, warm and immensely touching.
Qin Yanyang’s sincerity and care for him made him proudly aloof.
"Minister Qin, I absolutely did not mean any disrespect to Young Master Yang," Chu Que explained.
Qin Yanyang nodded and said to Yang Fei, "You’re right, this is indeed a good place."
Yang Fei laughed, "Yeah, this place is perfect for building a testing base."
"Then let’s choose this place," Qin Yanyang said.
Yang Fei chuckled and pointed at Chu Que, "But they from the Central Battle Zone say that this place has already been designated as their strategic strongpoint."
Qin Yanyang asked Chu Que, "What’s going on?"
Chu Que felt somewhat helpless.
He didn’t believe Qin Yanyang was unaware, but the fact that she still played along with Yang Fei made it clear she was highly indulgent toward her man.
"Yes, our Central Battle Zone has already made an application to the higher authorities, and permission has been granted; this place has been designated as a strategic base," Chu Que said, mustering his courage.
Qin Yanyang nodded and said, "Then I will write an application, asking the higher-ups to issue an order to reserve this piece of land for our Military Department."
Chu Que immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
As long as she personally reported it to the higher authority, the final ownership of this land was no longer an issue of whether Chu Que had struggled to compete for it or not.
Now, for Chu Que, as long as he could shift the responsibility onto someone else, all was well.
Qin Yanyang looked at Yang Fei and Hu Lizhong and said, "Follow me."
The three of them went to the office, and Hu Lizhong closed the door.
In front of Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang dialed a number. Once the person on the other end picked up, she said directly, "Chief, this is Qin Yanyang, reporting a matter to you."
A deep and authoritative voice came from the phone.
Yang Fei noticed Hu Lizhong’s body tremble slightly and looked at him with curiosity.
Hu Lizhong swallowed and, noticing Yang Fei’s gaze, thought for a moment, then pointed upward with one finger.
