Chapter 429: 390 Your attitude must be humble, and your sincerity must be sufficient
Hu Yanxiang had always wanted to become Qu Shiheng’s brother-in-law.
Now, this was the opportunity heaven had given him.
In such difficult times, he would appear before Qu Yimin like a hero descending from the skies.
Wouldn’t Qu Yimin then pour all her affection onto him?
Hu Yanxiang had a cunning plan: this trip, coming out of E City Base, he had achieved two great feats, one was killing “Chen Hu.”
The other was rescuing Qu Yimin.
What significant accomplishments these were, Qu Shiheng would have to regard him highly from now on!
Wouldn’t it be easy for him to become the second-in-command in the city base?
The men in the vehicle all let out sleazy laughs; they all understood what Hu Yanxiang meant.
After all, they were just getting by, following Hu Yanxiang. If he could gain Qu Shiheng’s favor, their future wouldn’t be too shabby.
Given they couldn’t get into Xiang City Base, E City Base, which was rich in resources, was obviously their best choice.
A group in a vehicle drove directly from the periphery of Xiang City Base towards F City.
At this moment, Hua Mi was lying on a hospital bed resting, her ears filled with various sounds from outside.
It seemed that after the discomforts of pregnancy had faded away, her body suddenly became extremely sharp in hearing and sight.
Gradually, with her not-so-great memory, Hua Mi figured out that it was likely her superpower that had changed her constitution.
In fact, in her previous life, once her superpower had developed to a certain level, she had also experienced such sharp senses.
But because she died too quickly, she didn’t enjoy this state of heightened senses for long.
Now, halfway through her confinement, Gong Yi had temporarily returned to Xiang City Base North.
His spiritual power couldn’t hold up long; he had to return to Xiang City Base North daily to reinforce the Cloud Mist City Wall, conjured by spiritual power.
It was at this time that Qin Zhen hurried into Hua Mi’s hospital room.
She told Hua Mi the news she had heard, then said,
“Qu Shiheng really is ruthless, he just killed Chen Hu like that.”
“These two were after all partners.”
Then Qin Zhen exaggeratedly shook her head and said with emotion,
“I really didn’t expect, with all the evil Chen Hu had done, that he’d die such a miserable death.”
“It’s said his entire face was chewed off.”
Hua Mi was nursing her young son while feeding him.
Hearing Qin Zhen say this, she couldn’t help but laugh,
“How do you know that the body sent over from E City Base was really Chen Hu’s?”
“Would someone like Chen Hu really get killed by Qu Shiheng so easily? I don’t believe it.”
Of course, Hua Mi didn’t believe it; at least her experiences from her previous life told her, Chen Hu lived far more cunningly than Qu Shiheng.
Since she hadn’t seen Chen Hu’s death with her own eyes, Hua Mi would never believe that Chen Hu was dead.
Hearing Qin Zhen further say,
“Right now, whether Chen Hu is truly dead or faking it doesn’t matter.”
“Qu Shiheng’s intention is clear; by presenting the body of his partner Chen Hu, he wants to turn hostility into alliances with us at Xiang City Base.”
Hua Mi shook her head, put her son who had fallen asleep while nursing back into the blue light box, and said,
“It’s impossible. Whatever Qu Shiheng says now, I will never forgive him again.”
“Tell Qu Shiheng to forget about this idea as soon as possible.”
“Besides, do you see this as a gesture of seeking peace?”
“Just having someone call from the outskirts of Xiang City saying they’ve killed Chen Hu and want to present his body—where is Chen Hu’s body then?”
“What use are mere words? Their people can’t even get close to the outskirts of our Xiang City Base; how can they talk about sincerity?”
“Reply to Qu Shiheng—about seeking peace or not—get ready for battle quickly; I’m about to finish my confinement.”
“Tell Qu Shiheng to clean his mess and brace for my fury.”
Seeing how firmly and sternly Hua Mi rejected the olive branch thrown by Qu Shiheng.
Qin Zhen nodded in agreement, she was relieved,
“I was afraid you would soften your heart for a moment, now I can rest assured.”
As she walked out of Hua Mi’s hospital room, Qin Zhen said directly to the messenger,
“I won’t reply to Qu Shiheng; you go back in my stead, we refuse to negotiate.”
After a pause, Qin Zhen added,
