Chapter 121 Who Did You Offend

Xin'an City Military Building.

Yu Zelun heard his subordinates report on the surveillance of Li Hongbo.

When he heard that Mu Zhenzhong had gone to see Li Hongbo and that the two parted ways at the door with smiles on their faces, he immediately became restless.

He waved his men away to continue monitoring, then hurriedly went to Wu Heshu's office.

Wu Heshu was working on documents at his desk when he looked up and saw Yu Zelun's expression, so he stopped what he was doing.

"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

Wu Heshu was dressed in a well-fitting dark combat uniform, the epaulets gleaming coldly under the light.

Although he was only in his early forties, he still maintained the lean physique that came from years of training. However, there was always a hint of nonchalant roguishness mixed in with the composure of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Yu Zelun said urgently, "Reporting to the commander, someone just came to report that Mu Zhenzhong went to Li Hongbo's place, and the two of them left chatting and laughing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Heshu jumped to his feet in shock. "Is the information accurate?"

“Accurate, it was personally overseen by my people.” Yu Zelun’s expression was very firm.

"It seems Li Hongbo has chosen to submit to Mu Zhenzhong!"

Wu Heshu's eyes flashed with a sinister glint. "No wonder he repeatedly rejected the people I sent to recruit him. It turns out he was already Mu Zhenzhong's man!"

Yu Zelen's face was filled with ruthlessness. "Commander, since Li Hongbo is not one of our men, there is no point in keeping him around. Why not replace the army in Lincheng with a more obedient general?"

Wu Heshu stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then slowly nodded: "You're right. I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you do it well!"

"Yes, sir!" Yu Zelun saluted, then turned and quickly left.

Upon returning to his office, Yu Zelun immediately dispatched people to gather detailed information about the Lincheng army.

He personally led a group to find Feng Weihua.

Looking at the person in front of him, Feng Weihua was filled with doubts.

"General Yu, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

Yu Zelun sat down at Feng Weihua's warm invitation and went straight to the point: "Deputy General Feng, I heard that you have been suppressed by General Li. Now there is an opportunity for you to replace him. What do you think?"

Upon hearing his words, Feng Weihua was completely stunned.

Did Li Hongbo offend Yu Zelun?
Or did I offend Wu Heshu?

Judging from Yu Zelun's words, it seems like he's planning to target Li Hongbo.
Feng Weihua suppressed the turmoil in his heart and his mind started working quickly.

Although Yu Zelun's words were very tempting, he was not the kind of person who would do anything to climb the ladder.

He and Li Hongbo have supported each other until now, and they have long since developed a deep camaraderie.

Feng Weihua wouldn't betray Li Hongbo just because someone offered him some benefits.

He needed to know exactly what Li Hongbo had done.

Feng Weihua quickly came up with a solution: to stall for time.

Although this might offend Yu Zelen, he couldn't care less about that now.

Feng Weihua smiled obsequiously, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I've come to see you in person, what else are you worried about?!" Yu Zelun's tone was tinged with disdain.

He didn't expect that Feng Weihua would agree so readily after he brought it up.

It's clear that Li Hongbo isn't a good person either!
Feng Weihua pretended not to see it and continued to ask, "What are your conditions?"

Before Yu Zelen could speak, he continued, "Don't say there are no conditions. I don't believe you would help me for no reason.

There is no such thing as a helping hand without a reason. Behind every act of assistance, there must be weighing and calculating, or perhaps some ulterior motive.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zelun looked at Feng Weihua with eyes full of admiration.

I didn't expect Feng Weihua to be so smart!
He didn't bother beating around the bush and stated the conditions directly: "Of course there are conditions, namely that you and the Lincheng army will be under the command of Chief Wu from now on."

Wouldn't that mean completely becoming Wu Heshu's person?
Although their army in Lincheng was incorporated into the military of Xin'an City, they could not be mobilized by private orders when carrying out important missions assigned by the military.

Now that Yu Zelun says he only obeys Wu Heshu, he has completely become Wu's private army.

Feng Weihua would certainly not agree to such a thing, because even if Li Hongbo were eliminated, it would not bring any benefit.

That was just that his superior had changed from Li Hongbo to Wu Heshu.

Oh, it seems there's more than one person.

This arrogant Yu Zelun in front of him seems like he'll also try to ride roughshod over him.

Since that's the case, he might as well just be his deputy general and let Li Hongbo handle everything.

He was happy to have some free time.

But how do we get rid of this person right now?
He needed to get the news that someone was targeting Li Hongbo as soon as possible!
Looking at the menacing-looking people in the room, Feng Weihua felt that if he didn't agree, he might be killed on the spot.

Feng Weihua dared not reveal a single thought, and could only excitedly feign agreement: "Okay, deal!"

“Okay, then we’ll send someone to help you tonight,” Yu Zelun gave the order directly.

It seems that Feng Weihua was not given any choice at all.

"Okay, but could you give us a few more people?" Feng Weihua asked excitedly.

Yu Zelun glanced at him dismissively. "Don't worry, I won't let you fail."

After Yu Zelun finished speaking, he left with his men.

But he never expected that someone would not only remain unmoved by such a great temptation, but also dare to scheme against him.

After Yu Zelun left, Feng Weihua went to find Li Hongbo.

He was just about to go out when he decided to visit Ye Qiumian.

He still wanted to recruit Ye Qiumian and the others into the Lincheng army.

Unexpectedly, I bumped into Feng Weihua right after I stepped out.

"Don't go out yet, I need to talk to you."

As Feng Weihua spoke, he pushed Li Hongbo back.

Li Hongbo looked helpless. "What's the rush? Can we talk about it when I get back?"

However, upon hearing Feng Weihua's words, he immediately swallowed the rest of his sentence.

"It's a matter of life and death," Feng Weihua said solemnly.

When it came to his own life, Li Hongbo immediately became serious.

"What happened?" he asked.

Feng Weihua glared at him, "Have you offended someone these past few days?"

Li Hongbo thought for a moment but couldn't recall offending anyone.

He replied earnestly, "I'm sure I haven't offended anyone."

"Then why did Yu Zelun, who is close to Wu Heshu, come to me personally and say he would help me get rid of you?"

"Why did they want to kill me?" Li Hongbo slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"That's a question you have to ask yourself. So what exactly did you do?"

"I really didn't do anything. I refused all the people they sent..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Li Hongbo seemed to remember something, and an angry expression appeared on his face.
