Wen Yang said in a low voice, "The real vitality comes from those young generals and soldiers. The Parliament and the military are always relying on these stubborn and whimsical old fogeys. Sooner or later, the Empire will be led to a dead end."
Ding Meng sighed and said, "It seems like you already have a comprehensive plan. You are still the most suitable candidate to be the Empire's ruler."
Wen Yang said proudly, "Of course!"
Ding Meng said, "What about your wife?
How should we deal with this matter? "
Wen Yang said, "I was the first to know about Yalin's pregnancy."
Ding Meng said, "But you have tolerated it until now."
Wen Yang said seriously, "This is not a matter of whether I tolerate it or not. It is her own problem. She and Lin Fei are in love, and she is even pregnant with his child. No one forced her to do this. To be more precise, Zhong Yalin is the one who secretly communicated with the Hidden Front from outer space. This is a crime of treason. She should be like you, a high-risk fugitive of the Empire."
Ji Chenxue was shocked. "She is your first wife. She has done so much to help you become the ruler. How can you treat her like this?"
Wen Yang had a strange look on his face, as if he was looking at someone he did not know. "Am I wrong?"
Ji Chenxue was speechless again. He realized that Wen Yang was not spouting nonsense. It was as if he was explaining something objectively. However, Ruler Wen Yang had changed. He had indeed changed. He had become strange and terrifying, cold and heartless.
Ji Chenxue could not help but ask, "Then what about her child?"
Wen Yang replied coldly, "Do you think the child of a fugitive will be pitied?"
"You!" Ji Chenxue could not accept this result at all. "Are you even human?"
Ding Meng suddenly sneered. "Of course not. He is the ruler of the Imperium, a big shot at the peak of power. What he has to consider is the overall situation. He has to be responsible for the entire Imperium. He won't stick to such trivial matters."
In the face of Ding Meng's sarcasm, Wen Yang seemed unmoved. "You know me best."
Ji Chenxue argued, "If you dare to kill Sister Lin, you will lose the support of the entire Apocalypse Group, and your position as head of state will be in jeopardy."
Ding Meng sighed. "You're wrong. Only by doing this can he show his fairness. Even if the Chancellor's wife breaks the law, she will still be punished like a commoner. This will undoubtedly gain the support of the public. Compared to financial support, the public's support is just as important. She might even be re-elected."
Wen Yang praised, "Men are still the most rational when looking at problems. Women are always short-sighted."
Ding Meng continued, "Madam, this matter is indeed very troublesome for you. It will be very difficult to deal with. If you handle it well, things will go smoothly. If you don't, you will really be made a cuckold. Of course, I believe that you have your own plans."
Wen Yang nodded. "Although Zhong Yalin is the daughter of the Apocalypse Group's CEO, she is definitely no longer the Chancellor's wife after doing such a thing."
Ding Meng asked curiously, "Do you already have a candidate for the second Chancellor's wife?"
Wen Yang's gaze fell on Ji Chenxue. "Once the Beidou Group's CEO becomes the Chancellor's wife, not only will the combat strength of the Empire's military increase by several levels, it will also become a much-told story in the Empire. The number one goddess and the number one Chancellor are definitely a match made in heaven."
Although he said this, his gaze was strangely calm. There was no greed at all. In his eyes, a goddess like Ji Chenxue was just a tool. What he wanted was not this person, but the power that this person represented. This was the gaze of a superior.
"In your dreams!" Ji Chenxue was shocked and angry. She did not expect Wen Yang's ambition to be so great.
Wen Yang said, "This is not a dream. In the near future, this will very likely become a reality. Once this matter is carried out successfully, it will be a good thing for both you and I. When the time comes, the Apocalypse Group and the Beidou Group, as well as the undercurrents within the Empire, will all be quelled. Only then can everyone's attention be focused on the Fertile Chalk Star System. This battlefield that has been fighting for hundreds of years will finally come to an end."
Faced with Wen Yang's calmness, Ji Chenxue could not refute him no matter how angry she was. This was because she understood the logic behind this. Under the influence of true power, any individual's will would be annihilated. This was how politics worked, unless one had the ability to change the entire situation.
"What about Han Yan?" Ding Meng suddenly asked about this person.
Wen Yang sighed. "You shouldn't have asked."
Ding Meng was silent. "I think so too. No matter how deep your love is, you can't resist the temptation of power. Someone like her doesn't deserve you, but I still say the same thing. You've changed. You've become too unfamiliar."
Wen Yang was silent for a moment before he said, "Perhaps this isn't a bad thing."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?"
Wen Yang said meaningfully, "Just like what you said just now, we are neither friends nor enemies, so I can make an exception this time. You can leave now!
Ji Zong, you can leave too! "
Ji Chenxue frowned. "What do you mean by this?"
"Let me answer for him."
Ding Meng sighed. "What he means is that he will spare us this time, but if we meet again next time, it might not be the same."
Ji Chenxue couldn't believe her ears. How arrogant did he have to be to say such big words?
Ding Meng seemed to know that she was not convinced. "If you really want to fight with him, you'll be humiliating yourself."
Wen Yang looked at her with admiration. "That's right. I've never forced a woman, but if you really want to force me, I don't mind Goddess Ji submitting to me, because you asked for it. I'm thinking that you also don't want to be forced by a man, right?"
Ji Chenxue suddenly felt cold sweat seeping out of her palms. That was right. She might not have cared if someone else had said this, but who was Wen Yang?
And who was Ding Meng?
Among the warriors, they were at the top. If she didn't believe what they said, then no one could save her.
"Maybe we can work together to deal with him …" Ji Chenxue swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She might not fully understand Ding Meng and Wen Yang, but she understood men because she had seen too many men. Men looked at her with all kinds of eyes: appreciation, greed, passion, infatuation … But Ding Meng and Wen Yang's eyes were different. Wen Yang's eyes were cruel and ruthless, while Ding Meng's eyes were deep and sharp. In other words, they completely ignored Ji Chenxue's beauty.
If she really asked for help from Ding Meng now, he might not agree obediently. She couldn't take the risk, and she couldn't afford to lose face.
Ding Meng suddenly said, "Goodbye!"
Wen Yang nodded, "If you think it through, you can contact me at any time. I will always welcome the two of you to join me. I wish you safety!"
This was the same tone as Lin Fei on Yulin Planet, but Ding Meng walked toward the shuttle door without looking back.
Ji Chenxue looked at Wen Yang, and then looked at Ding Meng. She finally chose to follow behind Ding Meng.
Looking at the shuttle door disappearing into the air, Wen Yang's mouth showed a cruel smile.
The shuttle ladder took a long time to run. It took half an hour to come up, and now the process of going up would take the same time.
Ding Meng stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside, his expression a little absent-minded.
Ji Chenxue was the same. Everything that had just happened was like a dream.
"How much do you think of what he said?" Ji Chenxue was the first to break the silence.
Ding Meng said, "Ninety percent!"
"What about the remaining ten percent?" Ji Chenxue asked with concern.
Ding Meng turned to look at her, and said word by word, "The boss of Beidou is marrying the head of state of the Empire as his second wife. I absolutely believe this."
Ji Chenxue's heart suddenly tightened. This was what she was concerned about.
Ding Meng said again, "But I can see that you don't want to."
Ji Chenxue relaxed a little, "If I really don't want to, no one can do anything to me."
Ding Meng nodded, "There is one thing you don't understand. You are not attractive to him."
"Is that so?" Ji Chenxue was obviously not convinced.
Ding Meng sighed, "What he really wants is not a wife, but the identity of the boss of Beidou. As for who the boss of Beidou is, it doesn't matter. Even if it is an ugly woman, he doesn't care. Maybe you are not the boss of Beidou anymore."
Ji Chenxue smelled a strong conspiracy, "Does he really have the ability to do that?"
Ding Meng said, "He is very similar to Lin Fei. People like them pay attention to certainty. If they don't have absolute certainty, why would they talk big?
Maybe he already had a countermeasure before he came. "
Ji Chenxue said, "What about the remaining ten percent?"
Ding Meng sighed, "The only thing I don't believe is that he will let us go!"
Ji Chenxue was puzzled, "Aren't we leaving now?"
Ding Meng smiled bitterly, "Do you really think we are leaving?"
Ji Chenxue was stunned again.
Ding Meng sighed, "This is a shocking inside story. He will never let anyone leak this kind of thing. Those who know must keep it a secret."
Ji Chenxue expressed his approval, "Even if I tell others, I don't think anyone will believe me."
Ding Meng said, "That is not important. What is important is that there is only one kind of person in the world who can really keep a secret."
Ji Chenxue immediately understood. Dead people would not reveal secrets, but she still found it hard to believe.
Looking at her suspicious expression, Ding Meng could not help but sigh, "You will soon understand that things are not as simple as you think."
The shuttle ladder stopped moving, and Ji Chenxue's heart sank after the door opened. This was because she found that this was not the hall on the first floor of the Apocalypse headquarters, because this was also a subspace. This subspace was exactly the same as Lin Fei's "Love Nest". There was a blue sky overhead, a green lawn, a vast ocean, and an exquisite palace. There were all kinds of birds and flowers, and all kinds of pleasant insects. Even the sky was a gentle sea view at night.
However, the air was not fresh, because it was filled with a strong smell of blood. Looking down, they were all fragmented corpses. These corpses seemed to have been cut into dozens of pieces by sophisticated instruments and were neatly placed on the ground. If it were not for Ding Meng and Ding Meng's experience, they would have suspected that these pieces of flesh did not come from human bodies.
After careful inspection, Ji Chenxue could not help but feel a bitter taste in her throat, because there were three corpses on the ground: Qi Yuan, Mo Xiaoxiao, and Luo Anxu. The three of them had been completely dismembered.
