Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 727 - 728: Old Brother Wang’s Choice

Gu Anxi sneered, "You and Bo Qing are the crazy ones."

When she finished speaking, she stretched lazily, ready to go back to sleep, but Song Jiaren stopped her, grabbing her hand, "Gu Anxi, you have to make things clear."

The little vixen had already lain down, her voice somewhat languid, "Zhou Yunhua, I have nothing more to say to you. If you have the nerve, then blow your brother up so that not even a hair of him remains."

Song Jiaren glared at her, "My name is not Zhou Yunhua."

"Alright, alright," Gu Anxi slowly lay down. "You’re Song Jiaren, Bo Qing’s little mistress without a title, okay?"

Song Jiaren was furious again.

Gu Anxi lay there alone, surrounded by darkness, as if she had melted into the night itself, cloaked in an eerie silence.

After a long while, she finally spoke, "No one can go without missing their loved ones. Song Jiaren, you think I only gambled with Zhou Yunchen because he’s your relative, but I have many of my own relatives at stake too."

Her eyes were unusually clear in the darkness, like the only star in the night sky. "So many innocent people, they all have their loved ones. Their lives should not be sacrificed for Bo Qing’s ambitions, right?"

Song Jiaren was momentarily at a loss for words.

Gu Anxi said no more, just lying there quietly. Her shoulder hurt terribly; it was probably a severe wound. But that was her nature—unwilling to show weakness in front of Song Jiaren.

Song Jiaren stared at her, her voice exceptionally cold, "Gu Anxi, I will not soften my heart. I absolutely won’t."

With these words, she stormed off.

As soon as she left, Gu Anxi coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Sigh, I’m getting old and useless. Just one hit from Song Jiaren, and I’m injured this badly.

She fumbled to get some water but coughed up blood after just one sip. In the end, she could only grope her way back to bed and lie there quietly. It hurt; it was very painful. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

She missed her loved ones from Si Garden even more.

I wonder how Little Uncle is doing now.

「Beicheng.」

「Late into the night.」

「Control Center.」

Chu Yan was staring at the screen when she suddenly exclaimed, "A message from Anxi!"

"What message? Let me see," King Jingyao immediately came over, asking urgently.

Chu Yan, looking stunned, said, "Anxi wants us to shut down all of Beicheng’s interception systems."

King Jingyao rubbed his hands together. "Impossible! Has she gone mad? If we shut them down, aren’t we all done for?"

Chu Yan gathered her thoughts, speaking softly, "She only sent two sentences. She said that besides East Beicheng, South Africa is also targeting us."

"Absurd!" King Jingyao fished out a cigarette and lit it. After taking several harsh drags, he said, "And shutting everything down is supposed to solve the problem?"

Neither Bo Nianyao nor Xichen were present, so there wasn’t even anyone to discuss it with. King Jingyao was extremely irritable.

After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice to Wang Jingchuan, "Call Min Xin over."

Wang Jingchuan responded solemnly, "Okay," and immediately went to call him.

A moment later, Min Xin arrived, looking somewhat rushed. "What’s wrong? Is there news from Anxi?"

King Jingyao pointed at Chu Yan, signaling her to explain.

Once Chu Yan explained the situation, Min Xin immediately said, "That doesn’t seem very likely, does it? Could this be a trick by Bo Qing? The east is indeed in danger, but if we shut everything down now, Beicheng will be finished too. This..."

As Min Xin said this, Chen Ming and Wang Jingchuan chimed in, "Yes, Beicheng’s safety is paramount. This is no small matter."

King Jingyao looked up at them. "But if this is what Anxi means, and if this is the most critical information we have, then failing to act on it means sacrificing everyone in East Beicheng."

He remained irritable and flicked his cigarette ash. "Let me think about it some more. Jingchuan, bring Old Lin and Bo Nianyao’s wife over. Also, call Zhou Yunchen. They all know Little Scoundrel very well."

He needed to confirm what Little Scoundrel was thinking and whether this message truly came from her.

Wang Jingchuan agreed and went to summon them personally.

During the wait, King Jingyao looked at Chu Yan and smiled. "What are your thoughts?"

Chu Yan’s gaze was very calm as she said softly, "I believe this is Anxi’s intention."

King Jingyao slowly drew on his cigarette, his dark eyes narrowing slightly...
