Liu Rui was naturally referring to the group of people who attempted to assassinate Xiao Yifei. Upon hearing this, Hua Lao's eyes became fierce. Hua Lao nodded, then said word by word, "That's right, no matter what, I must find those people. If I don't vent this anger, I won't feel comfortable in my heart."

Hua Lao's words didn't seem like exaggerations. For Xiao Yifei, Hua Lao could do anything. The silent Xiao Yifei felt warmth in his heart as well, "Xiao Yifei, how are you feeling?" Hua Lao asked worriedly. In response, Xiao Yifei nodded to indicate he was still okay.

Seeing this, Hua Lao thoughtfully nodded and then asked Liu Rui to buy nourishing items. The purpose was naturally to help Xiao Yifei recuperate well. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei felt somewhat helpless; now, he could do nothing, not even stopping Hua Lao, as it was already too late.

Thus, Xiao Yifei could only let Hua Lao be, "Xiao Yifei, have a good rest. I will definitely avenge you." Hua Lao said slowly to Xiao Yifei, because he couldn't stay there too long, so now he had to leave. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded and told Hua Lao not to worry about him.

Seeing this, Hua Lao sighed and then turned and left. Liu Rui came back again and saw only Xiao Yifei lying alone on the bed, the previous Hua Lao long gone without a trace.

Time ticked away, and the war between Huaxia and the foreign nation remained in a stalemate. However, this was beneficial, and under these stalemated circumstances, Xiao Yifei gradually recovered. Finally, one day, Xiao Yifei removed all the tubes on his body, indicating he could be discharged.

On this day, Xiao Yifei, led by Liu Rui, completed the discharge procedures, marking the end of his hospitalization. Although his body was still very weak, he could finally leave that damned place. To say it, Xiao Yifei had been lying in bed for days. When he first got off the bed, he ironically couldn't walk properly.

However, slowly, he adapted, followed Liu Rui back, and Xiao Yifei was surprised to find the Hua Mansion suddenly changed. The current Hua Mansion was much brighter than before, almost as if it had been renovated.

"This." Xiao Yifei looked curiously at Liu Rui beside him. Upon hearing, Liu Rui smiled and explained the reason. A few months back, when assassins came to kill Xiao Yifei, the explosion caused by the assassins had destroyed the whole Hua Mansion. Hence today's Hua Mansion was rebuilt upon Hua Lao's orders, looking less outdated.

Hearing Liu Rui's explanation, Xiao Yifei recalled the incident. But soon, Xiao Yifei felt surprised; the assassins were so powerful to destroy Hua Mansion? Seeing Xiao Yifei still somewhat confused, Liu Rui patiently explained further, saying that the assassins didn't have such ability, but they accomplished it through self-detonation.

Xiao Yifei wasn't foolish. Hearing the mention of self-detonation, he understood mostly, as he'd heard before, self-detonation was a unique technique of Cultivators, used mostly for mutual destruction. Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but marvel at Qianxi's might, able to force others to the point of self-detonation. One can imagine.

Walking into the Hua Mansion, Xiao Yifei realized that although the buildings were newly constructed, the furnishings hadn't changed a bit. Moreover, to prevent Xiao Yifei from being ambushed again, Hua Lao had surrounded the Hua Mansion with layer upon layer, meaning there would be people constantly patrolling within this large Hua Mansion.

Seeing Hua Lao's painstaking efforts, Xiao Yifei couldn't help feeling touched. Initially, Hua Lao and he could only be considered strangers, but step by step, their connection turned them into a family, indeed bound by fate. Xiao Yifei couldn't help but feel sentimental.

Seeing this, Liu Rui smiled and then spoke to Xiao Yifei, "Have a good rest. I have something to attend to, I'll be leaving first." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei was stunned, then nodded, and so Liu Rui turned and left.

Watching Liu Rui's departing silhouette, Xiao Yifei sighed quietly and said softly, "Thank you both."

After returning to the command bureau, Hua Lao began asking about the task he had assigned to Liu Rui. Upon hearing this, Liu Rui patted his chest to indicate the task was completed successfully. Seeing this, Hua Lao nodded and then told Liu Rui about the discovered organization that sent people to assassinate Xiao Yifei.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rui was surprised, then curiously leaned in. Hua Lao slowly explained to Liu Rui that the person who assassinated Xiao Yifei was part of an organization, which was a killer organization responsible for accepting orders and carrying out tasks.

This means it wasn't their intention to kill Xiao Yifei; they received a commission from someone, thus sending people to assassinate Xiao Yifei. After listening to Hua Lao's explanation, Liu Rui thoughtfully nodded, but Hua Lao didn't care; if they did it, they must die.

So on this day, the company suddenly descended into chaos, because a street full of troops was parked underneath them. Each stood straight, holding varying amounts of weapons, indicating they came with ill intentions. Little did they know, this enormous troop was merely dispatched by a small command bureau within Huaxia.

Presumably, the company's personnel were puzzled. How, during wartime, such troops appeared outside their company building instead of at the front lines?

The company was in chaos; they couldn't understand why during such a special period, a troop came knocking at their door. However, these soldiers didn't care about any of that. They had orders to follow through and obey the conditions set.

But the company's managers were unwilling to open the door; seeing the dense military attire, he was somewhat scared. Thus, he locked the door tight, preventing them from entering. But this tightly locked door was blasted open by a bomb, the insane act scared everyone into escaping outside.

Yet Hua Lao issued a death order, preferring to mistakenly kill a thousand than let one go. Thus, everyone who tried to escape was captured back by the troops. As for the outcome, one could imagine it wouldn't be good. In just one day, the massive killer company quickly became a mere name.

After completing all this, Hua Lao was satisfied and ordered the troops back. They dared to provoke Hua Lao; seeing the company removed from the map, Liu Rui beside him couldn't help but sigh, in this world, those who provoke Hua Lao wouldn't likely live long, because it's courting death.

After avenging Xiao Yifei, Hua Lao focused back on commanding. However, everyone knew the current battlefield; neither side could advance nor retreat, everyone was in a standoff. But after so many days, Hua Lao hadn't thought of a way to break the stalemate.

Pulling one thread moves the whole fabric, is exactly the situation now. Hua Lao once considered adjusting the troop line, but this small adjustment couldn't be realized whatsoever.
