Chapter 426: 389 We in E City are very sincere and want to reconcile with Xiang City.
The man waiting outside the tent was none other than Chen Hu’s cousin.
The Chen Family, originally in A city, was considered an extremely large family locally.
But after the apocalypse, in less than ten months, the entire Chen Family crumbled like a collapsing building.
In an instant, it was reduced to nothing.
Chen Hu no longer had any power to help him escape from E City except these few cousins.
Now, only his few cousins still stood by his side.
With his elderly mother on his back, Chen Hu raised his hand and patted his cousin’s shoulder.
He promised his cousin,
“I won’t always be , rest assured, one day I will rise again.”
“When that time comes, I will give you everything you want.”
The cousin nodded, tears of emotion glistening in his eyes,
“Boss, rest assured, as long as we’re here, you won’t die in front of us.”
He also called Chen Hu “boss,” given that during Chen Hu’s prosperous times, these cousins couldn’t even enter the core of Chen Hu’s influence.
Several members of the Chen Family made grand statements and left the E City Base on this dark night.
Their destination was not another base, but Xiang City.
In Chen Hu’s words, the most dangerous places are the safest.
Together with Qu Shiheng, he had caused such great damage to the Xiang City Base, once Hua Mi and Gong Yi recovered, they certainly wouldn’t let the E City Base off.
Especially since the current situation at E City Base was worrying.
Staying in the E City Base was foolish.
Chen Hu had not been gone long carrying his elderly mother before Hu Yanxiang discovered Chen Hu’s departure.
He quickly notified Qu Shiheng of the news.
Qu Shiheng felt incredibly indignant and cursed,
“How could Chen Hu do such a thing?”
“This is a betrayal of our alliance, and it is absolutely unforgivable.”
Initially, Qu Shiheng had generously taken in Chen Hu knowing that he was being pursued by Gong Yi.
He thought Chen Hu was a formidable individual and that if given a chance to rise again, Chen Hu would surely repay the Qu Family with greater benefits.
Chen Hu had also sworn before Qu Shiheng that as long as he could rise again, he would give the Qu Family everything they desired.
And now? Chen Hu had completely forgotten his oath, abandoning E City and leaving on his own.
Hu Yanxiang saw Qu Shiheng fuming.
Pretending to be sympathetic, he stepped forward and advised,
“Young Master Qu, let’s drop this matter. Everyone has their own ambitions. Rest assured, I am a son of E City in life and a ghost of E City in death; I will never leave you.”
Qu Shiheng turned and looked at Hu Yanxiang’s flattering face.
He certainly knew that Hu Yanxiang was speaking these words to please him, but it was precisely Hu Yanxiang’s grovelling that highlighted how despicable people like Chen Hu, who betrayed their alliances, really were.
Qu Shiheng would never allow betrayal, especially since he had, under Chen Hu’s instigation, expended so much effort and lost so many men attacking Xiang City.
And it had still ended in failure.
What was worse, if Qu Shiheng had not been influenced by Chen Hu, his relationship with the Xiang City Base would not have come to such a life-and-death struggle.
Actually, from the very beginning when Qu Shiheng took Qu Yimin to the Xiang City Base, he intended to discuss a resource cooperation plan with them.
It was Chen Hu who constantly instigated Qu Shiheng to make some irrational decisions.
This caused the awkward situation between E City Base and Xiang City Base as it stood.
Look, once there’s a rift in feelings between two sides, the cause of a partnership breakdown is always attributed to the other party.
Now, in Qu Shiheng’s eyes, all the misfortunes he encountered were Chen Hu’s doing.
Inside the tent, Qu Shiheng’s face looked sinister as he ordered Hu Yanxiang,
“Now that Chen Hu has few people with him, take some men and hunt him down, dead or alive. Bring his body back.”
“I need his body for a purpose.”
He intended to send Chen Hu’s body to Hua Mi and Gong Yi.
Watching the E City Base enveloped by plague, Qu Shiheng of course needed to find a way.
Chen Hu wanted to leave; how could Qu Shiheng possibly let him go so easily?
Right now, there was no better time than to use Chen Hu’s body to negotiate allegiance with Xiang City.
