In a certain Gobi desert in Lingnan, a valley was flashing with faint light. Countless firelights were flashing in the sheltered position in the center, and many taciturn figures were dormant around it.

At the edge of one of the bonfires, Fatty Li was eating the barbecue in his hand, and from time to time he poured the white wine in his hand over his body. When his ulcerated skin touched the alcohol, he grimaced in pain.

Not long after, the guard rushed to Fatty Li with a satellite phone: "Li Shuai, the company called, and Mr. Qu wants to talk to you."

Fatty Li gave the barbecue in his hand to the guard on the side, stood up and took the phone: "Mr. Qu, you got up early enough."

"It's okay. I'm old and don't have much sleep." Qu Xiangran answered Fatty Li's words in a calm tone and then asked, "Is there any movement over at Jin Qinhuan?"

"I don't know." Fatty Li looked at the stars in the sky and said without interest: "The battle between the Lu family and Jin Qinhuan is very fierce now. If we send a reconnaissance force out, it will easily cause unnecessary conflicts."

Qu Xiangran responded: "Last night, the Lu family launched a full-scale attack on Jin Qinhuan. The company's strategy has been adjusted. You will lead our troops in Lingbei to carry out a pincer attack on the Lu family and provide support to Jin Qinhuan.

.”

"...Support?!" Fatty Li heard this and his eyes widened suddenly: "Mr. Qu, did I hear that correctly? You want me to support the revolutionary army?"

Qu Xiangran heard Fatty Li's surprised tone and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"But we and Jin Qinhuan are enemies with different fates! Why do you want to help them?!" Fatty Li heard the news and felt that his cognition had been subverted: "Annexing Jin Qinhuan"

Isn't the ring our ultimate goal?"

"We have nothing to do with the revolutionary army, but the word Dai Tian is not used accurately." Qu Xiangran smiled: "To be precise, the person who has enmity with Jin Qinhuan should be you. I don't care about you.

No matter what kind of grudges there are, it does not affect the company's decision-making, you just need to follow the instructions."

"Does the company not take care of my emotions at all? It is for the benefit of the company that I broke up with Ning Zhe and the others!" Fatty Li clenched his fists: "I have worked hard for the company for so many years, but you let me

I'm going to support my enemy? How can there be such a reason in the world?"

"You are not doing it for the benefit of the company, or in other words, you are not doing it entirely for the benefit of the company!" Seeing Fatty Li playing the emotional card, Qu Xiangran responded in a calm tone: "You did make sacrifices for the company, but the company

I didn't treat you badly, and you got everything you wanted because of it.

We can also put it another way, since what you did at the beginning was for the company, then what you do today is still for the company. Everything we do is for the long-term development of Dark Horse Company.

I have my own considerations. You just need to follow my instructions. Do you have any other questions?"

Fatty Li's palm holding the phone trembled slightly: "What if I don't accept this order?"

"You have a prominent status, great power, and a powerful army. Of course you have the confidence to challenge me, but I want to remind you that all this aura was given to you by Dark Horse Company. If the light above your head goes out, you will be reincarnated.

Back to the darkness, you think this is the truth?"

Fatty Li's chest rose and fell and he remained silent.

Qu Xiangran's words shattered his gradually accumulated self-esteem and arrogance.

Since taking over the military power of Pei's new government, Dark Horse Company has placed very few restrictions on him, making Fatty Li forget that there is such a behemoth behind him.

He once thought that he was also a rising hero in this country, and could stand on equal footing with the plutocrats, oligarchs, and revolutionary army.

But it wasn't until this moment that he realized the gap between himself and others.

People from other forces have the right to make their own decisions, and Fatty Li is just a fox pretending to be powerful. Once he loses the support of Qu Xiangran, he will become the homeless refugee with nothing again.

Qu Xiangran didn't seem to care about Fatty Li's mood and asked, "Can I know your choice?"

Fatty Li tried to calm down his mood: "I will obey the company's decision, and everything will be based on the company's decision!"

Qu Xiangran's tone was a bit kinder: "Don't be emotional. I will talk to you when the war is over."

Fatty Li smiled: "Haha, if you are not in the mood, you have to take care of the company's job. I understand this."

After the call ended, Fatty Li looked at the dancing firelight in the valley and ordered the adjutant beside him: "Notify all troops and assemble immediately!"

The adjutant became more energetic: "Li Shuai, do we have new transfers?"

A fierce light flashed in Fatty Li's eyes: "The company has orders to cooperate with the Lu family to break through the Jinqinhuan defense line with all our strength!"

"Understood, I will convey the order immediately!"

After Fatty Li's military order was issued, the two regiments stationed in the valley quickly assembled. Fatty Li also returned to the tent where he lived and began preparations for departure.

A few minutes later, Fatty Li was packing up his personal belongings when the door curtain was suddenly opened. He looked at the orderly who came in with an unkind look on his face: "Who told you to enter my room without saying hello?"

"Shuai Li, I just want to come over and help you pack your things!" The orderly frowned, then took advantage of Fatty Li's unpreparedness and suddenly raised his pistol.

"roar!"

A tiger that had been dormant in the dark suddenly tore the tent apart, threw the orderly under him, and also knocked down the tent.

Outside the door, a group of soldiers assembled all pointed their guns at Fatty Li with murderous intent.

Fatty Li looked at the actions of these soldiers and shouted angrily: "What the hell do you want to do! Do you want to rebel? Put down the gun!"

"Li Dongfa! We are under the order of the Council of Elders of the new government! Arrest you!" The adjutant looked at Fatty Li with a serious face: "Long before the order from the peak was issued, we received the order. If you carry out an attack on Jin Qinhuan,

If we support you, we will cooperate with you. If you have other measures, we will arrest you and bring you to justice!"

"Are you all fucking crazy? We are the troops of the fortress! How can we support the rebels?!" Fatty Li's body trembled violently: "Do you really want to compare yourself to those refugees?"

"We are soldiers, and it is our duty to obey orders!" The adjutant looked at him calmly: "The beasts you raised have been anesthetized by us. Capture them without mercy is your only way out!"

"Haha! Hahahaha!" Fatty Li laughed loudly, his eyes full of mockery: "I thought that by betraying my friends and brothers, I could break the hierarchy, but I didn't expect that in the end I would still be just a chess piece! But even if I am a chess piece, I

I only believe in my own life!"

"throat……!"

In an instant, the sounds of several sniper rifles overlapped together, and the soldiers in front of Fatty Li fell to the ground. Then swarms of rats rushed out from the gaps in the rocks on both sides and pounced on the crowd.

"Boom-boom-boom!"

On both sides of the valley, many poisonous gas bombs fell from the sky. Fatty Li put on the gas mask gently, with only murderous intent in his eyes.
