Chapter 1741 - 388: All the Bustle in the World Is for Profit (First Update)_2
"Who are these people really?" Yun Miao furrowed his brows and asked.
Dylan pondered for a while and said, "This should be a mercenary organization. Internationally, there are many such groups, mostly composed of retired special forces from various countries, hired by individuals or organizations. As long as the price is right, they’ll do anything. Among the most famous are Country E’s Cheetah Legion and Country M’s Shadow Legion... The leader of the Shadow Legion, Colonel Cilin, was once the most outstanding Soldier King, having participated in multiple wars with numerous military achievements. But later, for some reason, he was dismissed and thus established the Shadow Legion... When I was in the army before, I had brief encounters with this Shadow Legion. From the equipment and style of these people, they are undoubtedly from the Shadow Legion. But why would the Shadow Legion come to this godforsaken place?"
Yun Miao swiftly digested these complex pieces of information in his mind, turning them into useful data. He slightly curled his lips and said, "The world is bustling about for profit; everything proves that there is something valuable to them on this island."
Dylan nodded, "Your analysis is not wrong, but how do we get out of here now? We can’t underestimate the people from the Shadow Legion; if we clash head-on, it’d be like an egg hitting a stone. We’d be courting death."
In terms of equipment alone, they were already completely outmatched.
Yun Miao narrowed his eyes slightly and nimbly climbed up a tree. Dylan widened his eyes, watching as two people approached from a distance.
Yun Miao scanned the surroundings with excellent vision to assess the situation nearby. Just as the two were about to spot Dylan, Yun Miao leaped down from the tree and quickly subdued them. Stripping their clothes swiftly, he called to Dylan, "What are you standing there for?"
Dylan quickly walked over, mimicking Yun Miao by taking off their clothes.
Two minutes later, Yun Miao donned a sharp camouflage uniform, spinning the gun in his hand nonchalantly, which added a bit of devilish coolness to his appearance, leaving Dylan momentarily stunned.
Yun Miao smeared ash on his face, painting his cheeks dark. The exposed skin was also covered, the dark color neutralizing his elegant features and concealing his presence. At first glance, he blended in with everyone else.
The transformation of a person’s temperament in such a short time was astonishing, and even Mo Sang might not recognize him like this. Dylan was impressed.
"What do you plan to do?"
The young man curled his lips slightly, spun the handgun on his finger once, and swiftly returned it to its holster, striding out, "If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get the tiger’s cubs?"
Dylan watched his retreating figure, noticing how the teenage frame, although slender, exuded an indomitable momentum.
He thought to himself, this guy is truly a madman.
"Master, we lost track of the young master. Currently, we have temporarily lost his whereabouts." Ziyu respectfully bowed his head, awaiting the punishment that was sure to come.
The expected rage did not come, and Ziyu noted that the master rarely had emotional fluctuations over the years; perhaps he overthought.
"Then keep searching," the woman’s gentle voice came through.
Ziyu paused and said, "Additionally... there’s one more thing."
"Speak."
"According to the information from our spies on the M-side, they discovered a natural oil well on an African archipelago. Its oil reserves are quite significant and have drawn serious attention from the M-side. However, the island is currently occupied by the Shadow Legion. What should we do now?"
"Cilin’s ambition is too big. Previously, when it was just small incidents, the other side didn’t pay much attention. But now, he wants to touch someone else’s bread and butter, and that’s taboo. Humans, once they swell with pride, it’s hard for them to see their own position clearly." Her tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Ziyu remained silent.
"Cilin is no match for Sangque; he never was. But if Cilin is too weak, how will this play unfold?"
Ziyu’s eyes flickered slightly, "I understand."
The woman tapped her fingers lightly on the chair arm, "Kissinger once said, ’Who controls the oil controls all nations, who controls food controls humanity, and who controls the issuance of currency controls the world.’ Sangque, oh Sangque, let me see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

Meng Shujing took Yan Jin to Country H, while Ya Chun stayed with Yun Ya. Time suddenly slowed down. After this illness, Yun Ya became even more emaciated, feeling listless every day. Luckily, with Ya Chun’s company, it wasn’t too boring.
As May approached, the weather grew hotter, peach blossoms had faded swiftly, and orioles flitted to peck at azaleas.
Spring had ended, and summer was near.
"Sister, you need to get better soon." Ya Chun said obediently, sitting by her bed.
Yun Ya slightly curled her lips, "I will."
"Miss," Ah Yun walked in with a phone, "there’s a call from Jiangzhou."
Yun Ya took the phone, gesturing for Ah Yun to take Ya Chun out to play. Ya Chun, discerning the mood, left the room on her own.
Yun Ya put the phone to her ear, and a woman’s anxious voice came from the other end, "Yun Ya... is it Yun Ya?"
Yun Ya’s mind remained calm as she softly replied, "Aunt Die, how have you been lately?"
Upon hearing Yun Ya’s voice, the woman on the other end seemed to find her anchor, happily saying, "Yun Ya, boo hoo...."
Yun Ya’s gaze turned to the blue sky outside, her expression serene, "Aunt Die, what happened?"
"Nothing, I just missed you. We haven’t contacted each other in so long. You left and didn’t say you’d come back, or even come back to see Aunt Die...."
Ji Die was so emotional that her words became incoherent.
Yun Ya smiled gently, "That’s my fault. I’ll come back to see you in a while. How’s your health been recently?"
Ji Die’s voice carried a tint of sadness, "Still alright...."
The path she chose, she must walk kneeling if she has to.
However, her pregnancy was a secret she kept from Qin Zhuan. Recently, Qin Zhuan was busy expanding the company, paying little attention to Ji Die. A pregnant woman needs attention the most, but she had to hide it from Qin Zhuan. With her belly growing, she mostly stayed within her room, afraid Qin Zhuan would find out. Only by having the child could she claim victory in this battle.
She couldn’t understand the thoughts of men, especially Qin Zhuan. His attitude toward her was distant, and the longer it went on, the deeper the torment became. Now, only the child was her hope.
"That’s good," Yun Ya said with a smile.
"Actually...." Ji Die bit her lip, showing some hesitation.
Yun Ya raised an eyebrow slightly, "What’s wrong?"
The gentle voice made Ji Die unable to hold it in, her heart full of a desire to confide, "Yun Ya, I suspect your Uncle Qin... might be having an affair outside. What should I do...?"
"No way, it must be a misunderstanding. Uncle Qin isn’t like that."
"Even though I don’t want to suspect him, he and that secretary of his are unclear with one another. I have seen it several times at the doorstep. If he is really involved with that secretary, what should I do? What about the child?" Ji Die said, starting to cry.
Yun Ya patiently said, "It’s certainly not what you saw. You need to trust Uncle Qin. He isn’t the type of man to mess around outside. You’re just under too much stress. Relax, and have a good talk with Uncle Qin. Now that the baby is due soon, Uncle Qin will forgive you for the sake of the child."
