Chapter 235 demands a reasonable explanation.
The assistant lowered his head: "Yes, General, I didn't think it through."

Dukao sighed: "Now, we need to find out a way to both find out his background and make him accountable for his actions, without causing any bigger trouble."

Just then, Dukao's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number.

Dukao's eyes sharpened, and he answered the phone: "Hello?"

A slightly teasing voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dukao, isn't it a bit impolite of you to hang up on me so quickly?"

Dukao was secretly pleased, but his face remained impassive: "Hmph, you still know how to call? I thought you had already fled to avoid punishment."

Yunming laughed and said, "Fleeing out of fear of punishment? I, Yunming, never regret what I do."

However, considering you're Dukao, I think we can talk again.

Dukao sneered: "Talk? Do you think you still have the right to talk to me? You have to give me a reasonable explanation for what happened to those four medical staff."

Yunming's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Dukao, do you really understand the whole story? Those four medical staff were ostensibly there to treat me, but what were they actually doing? They secretly prepared an unknown drug. I sensed something was wrong and intervened, which led to the conflict."

I was just trying to protect myself.

Dukao frowned: "Are you telling the truth? What's with that potion?"

Yun Ming sneered inwardly. This old fox, Dukao, was still testing him: "I don't know anything about the potion either. You can ask your men."

However, I'm certain that the medicine wasn't meant to harm me.

Dukao paused for a moment: "Even if what you say is true, it is a fact that you injured someone."

Yun Ming scoffed, "If I don't make a move, am I supposed to just wait to be outmaneuvered by you? In this world, strength is the only true measure of success."

"Dukao, as the commander-in-chief of the Super Soldier Squad, you should understand this principle."

Dukao took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Okay, even if you have your reasons."

But you can't just leave like that.

Where are you now? We can talk in person.

Yunming laughed and said, "Talk face to face? Do you think I'd be so stupid as to offer myself up? Dukao, if you really want to talk, then show some sincerity."

Dukao asked, "What kind of sincerity do you want?"

Yun Ming said, "It's simple. First, withdraw your investigation against me. I don't want to be watched by you all the time."

Dukao hesitated for a moment: "I'm afraid that won't work. We can't easily withdraw the investigation before we've fully clarified the situation."

Yunming's tone turned cold: "Then it seems we have nothing to talk about."

Dukao, if you push me any further, I can't guarantee what I might do.

"At that time, the Super Soldier Company will likely suffer heavy losses as well."

Dukao was startled; Yunming was not joking.

Judging from the strength Yunming has shown before, he certainly has the ability.

Ducao weighed the pros and cons and said, "How about this, the investigation can be temporarily slowed down, but it cannot be withdrawn."

In exchange, you must cooperate with us and find out the truth of the matter.

Yunming pondered for a moment: "Okay, I can cooperate with your investigation, but on one condition: you cannot restrict my freedom of movement."

I have my own things to do.

Dukao gritted his teeth: "Okay, I promise you."

But you'd better not try anything funny, or I won't let you off the hook.

Yunming laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't provoke me, I won't go looking for trouble."

By the way, regarding that potion, I hope you can give me an explanation as soon as possible.

Dukao replied, "I will have someone investigate as soon as possible, and I will let you know as soon as there are results."

After hanging up the phone, Dukao leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples wearily.

The assistant asked, "General, are we just going to let him go like this?"

Dukao shook his head: "It's not that we're letting him go, but we don't have a better solution right now."

Yun Ming is too mysterious, and his strength is unfathomable. Acting rashly will only plunge us into a greater crisis.

Let's go along with him first and see what he's really up to.

The assistant nodded: "Understood, General."

After Yunming hung up the phone, A-Jie leaned over and asked, "Brother Ming, can we trust this Ducao?"

Yunming smiled and said, "Whether you believe him or not is not important. What is important is that we now have room to maneuver."

Moreover, I want to see what exactly they're up to.

That potion is definitely not a simple matter.

Ah Jie asked worriedly, "What if they resort to underhanded tactics behind my back?"

Yunming patted A-Jie on the shoulder: "Don't worry, if they dare to play tricks, I have my own way of dealing with them."

"Oh, and could you keep an eye out for anything unusual in the surrounding area?"

Ah Jie responded and turned to leave.

Yunming stood alone on the dam slope, gazing at the distant city, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

This clash with Ducao is just the beginning.

In this world of gods and immortals, too many secrets and dangers are hidden, and he must find his own way to survive in this complex situation.

At this moment, the system notification sounded again: "Ding! The host has successfully completed the hidden mission - 'Negotiation with Dukao', and has obtained 5000 live broadcast points and one random skill draw card."

"Should I draw a skill now?"

Without hesitation, Yunming silently recited in his mind: "Extract."

With a flash of light, the system notification appeared: "Ding! The host has drawn the skill 'Eye of Insight,' which can see through hidden information and disguises within a certain range."

Yunming's eyes lit up. This skill came at just the right time. With it, he would be more confident in dealing with various situations in the future.

After a while, Ah Jie rushed back: "Ming-ge, I've noticed something's wrong."

I was just walking around the neighborhood when I saw a few people acting suspiciously; they didn't seem like ordinary people.

Yunming's eyes sharpened: "Oh? Let's go take a look."

The two walked in the direction A-Jie had indicated, and before they had gone far, they saw several people wearing black trench coats talking quietly in a corner.

Yunming activated his "Eye of Insight".

They instantly saw through the disguise; it turned out these people were all soldiers from the Super Soldier Squad.

Yun Ming sneered and stepped forward: "Gentlemen, what are you doing hiding here in broad daylight?"

When the soldiers realized they had been discovered, their expressions changed. One of the leaders forced a smile and said, "You must be Yun Ming. We are here on General Dukao's orders to check on you."

Yunming scoffed, "Look at my situation? Hmph, they're probably here to spy on me."

"Dukao, he really doesn't trust me."

The leading soldier explained, "Mr. Yun, you've misunderstood. We just..."

Yunming interrupted him: "Alright, stop explaining."

Go back and tell Dukao that if he continues to act so sneakily, he shouldn't blame me for being ruthless.

After saying that, Yunming took Ajie and left.

The soldiers looked at Yun Ming's departing figure, exchanging bewildered glances. The lead soldier took out a communicator: "Reporting, General, Yun Ming has discovered us, and he's very angry."

Dukao sighed on the other end of the communicator: "Okay, you guys come back first."

It seems Yun Ming is indeed not easy to deal with.

After hanging up the communicator, Dukao fell into deep thought. Completely controlling Yunming would probably not be so easy. He would have to come up with a more comprehensive plan next.

Meanwhile, after returning to his residence, Yunming began to think about his next plan.

Although he had reached some kind of agreement with Ducão, he knew that this was only a superficial peace and that the conflict between the two sides had not been truly resolved.

Yunming thought to himself that he must improve his strength as soon as possible in order to gain a foothold in this world.

Therefore, he decided to use the system's live stream points to exchange for some items and skills that would help improve his strength.

Yunming opened the system store, looked at the dazzling array of goods, and was caught in a dilemma.

After some deliberation, he finally exchanged his items for a cultivation manual and some precious pills.

With these, Yunming believed that his strength would soon be improved.

Just as Yunming was about to begin his cultivation, his phone suddenly rang again.

Yunming frowned, picked up the phone, and saw it was Dukao calling again.

Yunming answered the phone, saying impatiently, "What is it now, Dukao?"

Dukao's voice came through: "Yunming, we have some leads regarding that potion."

"Would it be convenient for you to come to the Juxia now? We'd like to discuss this in person."

Yunming's heart skipped a beat: "Okay, I'll be right there."

However, I'm warning you beforehand: if you dare to try anything funny, you'll face the consequences.

Dukao said, "Don't worry, I'm genuinely here to talk to you about something."

Yunming hung up the phone and said to A-Jie, "A-Jie, I'm going to the Juxia. Wait for me here."

If anything happens, let me know immediately.

Ah Jie said worriedly, "Ming-ge, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. Why don't I go with you?"

Yunming shook his head: "No need, I know what I'm doing."

"You stay here and keep watch, so that we can have someone to help us if anything happens."

Ah Jie nodded helplessly: "Alright then, Ming-ge, be careful."

Yun Ming turned around and walked towards the direction of the Giant Gorge.

The woman was struck by Yunming's punch and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Cough cough..."

The woman struggled to her feet, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with resentment. "You...you're so powerful!"

Yun Ming snorted coldly, lightning still crackling in his hand. "Who are you? Why did you ambush me?"

The woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you ruined our plans!"

Yunming frowned deeply. "What good thing have I done to you? Explain yourself!"

The woman didn't answer immediately. Instead, she endured the pain and slowly stood up. "Hmph, do you think things in this world are as simple as you see them? Some secrets are not for you to pry into!"

Yun Ming's gaze turned cold. "Since you refuse to talk, don't blame me for being impolite!"

With that, he pushed off with his feet and rushed toward the woman like lightning.

Seeing this, the woman quickly dodged to the side, and at the same time drew a short blade from her waist and swung it at Yunming.

The short blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight, tracing sharp arcs.

Yunming moved nimbly, constantly dodging the woman's attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

"You can't hurt me!"

Yunming shouted and hurled the lightning bolt in his hand at the woman.

The woman was unable to dodge in time and was struck by lightning. Her body trembled, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

"what!"

She screamed, and the short blade in her hand fell to the ground.

"Now you can tell me, what exactly are you plotting?"

Yunming stepped forward and looked at the woman coldly.

The woman gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Don't be so smug. Even if I die, others will come after you! Our plan won't stop because of you!"

Yunming crouched down and grabbed the woman by the collar. "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me your plan, and maybe I can spare your life!"

A flicker of hesitation crossed the woman's eyes, but she quickly regained her resolve. "Bah! I will not betray the organization! Do with me as you please!"

Yunming frowned, thinking to himself: It seems that the organization behind this woman is not simple. Her determination must be due to some kind of threat or great interests.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Yunming's mind: "Host, this woman is stubborn. You can try using some special methods; maybe you can pry her open up."

This is the notification sound from the All-Heavens Live Streaming System.

Yunming's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that there was a bewitching potion in the system store that might be able to be used on this woman.

However, using the mind-control potion requires a lot of live-streaming points, and he doesn't have many points at the moment.

"System, is there any other way?"

Yunming asked in his heart.

"Host, you can try negotiating with her, offering her benefits, and see if you can persuade her."

The system offered another suggestion.

Yunming nodded and released his grip on the woman's collar. "I can spare your life, as long as you tell me your plan and work for me from now on."

The woman looked at Yunming with surprise, "You...you're serious?"

Yunming said with a serious expression, "Of course, I, Yunming, keep my word."

"You were just being used in that organization. Follow me, and I can give you better treatment."

The woman was silent for a moment. "How can I trust you? What if you're lying to me?"

Yun Ming smiled slightly, "Do you still have a choice? Do you think you can escape my grasp? Besides, I can give you some benefits first to make you believe in my sincerity."

As he spoke, Yunming redeemed a healing pill from the system shop and handed it to the woman, saying, "This pill can heal your injuries. Take it first."

The woman looked at the pill in Yunming's hand, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

But in the end, she accepted the pill and swallowed it.

As soon as the pill entered her stomach, a warm current instantly spread throughout her body, and her injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What...what kind of elixir is this? It's so miraculous!"

The woman looked at Yunming in shock.

Yunming laughed and said, "Now you should believe in my strength, right? As long as you follow me, you'll have no shortage of such pills in the future."

The woman began to waver. She thought about how she had always been used as a tool in the organization, and how her life could be in danger if she wasn't careful.

The man in front of her seemed to have the ability to give her a better life.
