91: The doubtful Qiu family

Western Front.

General Command Room.

A gaunt man sat in the main seat, his face sinister, his eyes like an eagle's, radiating a cold light, his hands resting on the table, his fingers constantly tapping.

Not long after, several more people walked in, and without exception, similarities could be seen on their faces.

Among them, Qiu Tianding, whom Ye Liuyun had met, was prominently present.

These five were the five second-generation Disciples of the Qiu Family, known as the Five Tigers of the West.

After entering, the several people all greeted the gaunt man in the main seat.

"Big Brother!"

After everyone was seated, Qiu Tianzheng, as the eldest brother, spoke first.

"I assume you all know about the news from Headquarters!"

The third brother, Qiu Tianqing, snorted, "I’ve known for a long time. Why send some young punk over? To disgust us?"

"It’s probably not that simple!" The fourth brother, Qiu Tianfang, leaned back in his chair and said faintly.

Qiu Tianding’s expression didn’t change much. He looked at Qiu Tianzheng and asked, "Big Brother, what did Father say?"

After he finished speaking, everyone turned their heads.

"Father’s Meaning that these people should be dealt with as quickly as possible, in the same way as before! That young man is Wang Mang’s last Disciple, and he values him highly. This time, whoever can take him down will receive an extra reward from Father!"

"Then leave this matter to me! All my older brothers are busy people, unlike me, who is relatively free!" The fifth brother, Qiu Tianheng, said playfully.

"Big Brother, did Father not say what Headquarters’ intention is this time? Sending Ye Liuyun and his people over for no reason, it can’t just be to disgust us, can it?"

The fourth brother asked with a slight doubt.

"Father is also at a loss as to Headquarters’ true purpose this time, but one thing is certain: Tang Guosheng still doesn’t dare to start a war with us.

However, unusual occurrences always signify trouble. When Ye Liuyun arrives, all of you rein yourselves in and tell your subordinates not to be too reckless and give them a handle!

As for Ye Liuyun’s matter, I won’t say much more. None of you need to sign up here. Whoever can kill him without anyone knowing will naturally receive a generous reward from Father!

It’s still the old rule: if you don’t do a clean job, you deal with the consequences yourself!"

Qiu Tianzheng finished speaking and waved his hand.

The four exchanged glances, then stood up and left the command room one after another!

Qiu Tianding and two others left one after another.

The fourth brother stayed behind.

"Big Brother, I don’t think this situation is that simple. I can’t understand Tang Guosheng’s move!"

"Don’t just say you, Father hasn’t understood it either. What can a mere young punk accomplish? Anyway, no matter what.

Don’t make a move this time. If Wang Mang, that madman, finds out his Disciple died here.

He might rush over regardless of everything. By then, whoever made the move can deal with him." Qiu Tianzheng leaned back in his chair, his face full of mockery.

"Big Brother, will doing this displease Father? After all..."

"What’s there to be displeased about? I’m already this old, and besides, this is Father’s order! He wants to kill Ye Liuyun!

What does that have to do with us? Doesn’t the second brother always follow Father’s lead? Plus, there’s his son’s matter.

This was originally his own mess he didn’t clean up!"

...At the same time.

In another office.

Qiu Tianding’s fingers gently tapped on the desk.

He couldn’t understand what Headquarters meant. Was Ye Liuyun bringing five thousand people here just to make a show of Headquarters’ authority, or were they truly going to be stationed here long-term?

Thinking of this, Qiu Tianding gently rubbed his forehead. The mountain wind precedes the coming storm!

As for making a move against Ye Liuyun, he still had to consider it carefully. Wang Mang’s name was known to all, and if that fellow went crazy, he wouldn’t be able to handle it!

First, let’s wait and see the situation!

The third brother had the same thoughts as Qiu Tianding.

They all planned to wait for Ye Liuyun to arrive and see what his situation was before considering how to act.

They all wanted to gain benefits without incurring losses.

Only the fifth brother.

Upon returning to the General Logistics Office, he immediately summoned his capable assistant, Bao Xuanxin, the Deputy Minister of the Western Front Logistics Department.

"Pick fifty skilled individuals from the Logistics Security Department. Get ready during this period!"

"Understood, Fifth Master. Are we going to make a move against Ye Liuyun?" Bao Xuanxin smiled fawningly, then asked in a low voice.

Qiu Tianheng frowned.

"Why are you asking that? Old Bao, you talk too much!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I spoke out of turn. I was just trying to see who we’re dealing with. I heard that Ye Liuyun is quite mysterious..."

"Mysterious? Find me people from the seventh-tier and above. I refuse to believe he can be that evil!"

"Understood, Fifth Master. I’ll go arrange it. Don’t worry, this matter will definitely be handled perfectly."

"Old Bao, you should know about this matter. If it gets out..."

"Fifth Master, rest assured, if there are any problems, they will all be my responsibility!"

"Good. Go arrange it. During this training period, I must show Father that I’m no worse than the four of them!"

As Bao Xuanxin left, a hint of worry flashed across his brows, but it quickly disappeared!

The news of Ye Liuyun’s appointment as Captain of the Western Front Supervisory Brigade had already spread. Of course, it was almost impossible to hear any good words from them.

Originally, all the positions at the Western Front were reserved for the Qiu Family’s people.

Now, Ye Liuyun’s sudden arrival undoubtedly offended everyone who might have originally taken this position.

They had internal struggles, whether they could win or not, but at least there was the process of competing.

Now, it was good; they didn’t get it, and in the end, a young punk did.

Although Ye Liuyun had not yet arrived, many people already resented him. Other lower-level soldiers were fine.

At most, they would just talk about Ye Liuyun’s good background and complain a bit, because this position originally had nothing to do with them.

The Western Front was already in a state of alarm. Cadres from company Commander and above all understood that another storm was coming.

The final outcome should be the same as before: the Qiu Family would win easily, and Ye Liuyun would return in defeat.

After all, there were many people stronger than Ye Liuyun who came before, and in the end, it was all sound and fury, signifying nothing.

In the eyes of these mid-to-low-level cadres, Ye Liuyun was sent by Headquarters to gain experience.

He would be transferred out before long.

In short, although Ye Liuyun had not arrived, his reputation had already spread. Everyone, whether out of resentment, curiosity, or some special purpose, was already waiting for tomorrow.

As usual, when the Captain of the Supervisory Brigade took office, all general-ranked officers at the Western Front had to be present.

Four Qiu Commanders, one Qiu Department Head!

By observing everyone’s attitude tomorrow, they would understand what was going on!
