In the bustling and noisy imperial capital, inside the towering alliance headquarters building, the atmosphere in the Four Heavenly Kings' office was somewhat tense.

Liu Yu's face flushed, and she pressed her slender legs tightly together, trying to relieve the inexplicable discomfort in her body.

His almond-shaped eyes sparkled with grievance and panic, tears welled up in his eye sockets, as if they were about to burst out in the next second. His gaze pierced straight at Lu Wusong, as if the person standing in front of him was an unreasonable pervert.

"Lu Wusong,"

Liu Yu's voice was trembling and a bit shy.

She stretched out her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, pointing at the steaming cup on the table, biting her pink lower lip with her pearly teeth. She looked so pitiful, just like a weak girl who had just been humiliated and was isolated and helpless.

"What on earth did you give me to drink? I...I feel like I'm burning hot all over, so hot that I feel uncomfortable..."

Lu Wusong raised his head from the documents, frowned slightly, and his face was full of impatience. He rolled his eyes at Liu Yu unhappily, and then quickly cast his gaze to the pile of documents spread out on the table. Without even raising his eyelids, he just casually threw out two words:

"boiling water."

"Ah, ah? Oh."

Liu Yu seemed to have been acupunctured and froze in place for a moment, with a look of confusion and astonishment on his face.

After a while, she seemed to come back to her senses. She raised her hand and scratched her head, with a hint of embarrassment and confusion in her eyes.

Seeing this, Lu Wusong's mouth corners slightly drooped, and he secretly complained in his heart, what a complete drama queen, he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Fortunately, Lin Guochang joined the Four Heavenly Kings camp some time ago and shared a lot of tasks. Now the workload is obviously much less than before.

But who could have expected that the old man's imprisonment would be like stirring up a hornet's nest, leading to a series of complicated and tangled troubles that made Lu Wusong so busy during this period that he didn't even have time to sit down and have a proper meal.

As he was thinking this, Lu Wusong subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yu.

This glance happened to be caught by Liu Yu. She was like a frightened little rabbit. She quickly covered her chest with her hands, her eyes wide open, and stared at Lu Wusong vigilantly, as if she was guarding against some ferocious beast.

Lu Wusong was upset by her appearance and couldn't help but "tsk", his eyebrows twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character, suppressing his anger and saying:

"Can't you just work properly? Don't you see who you are? You are one of the Four Heavenly Kings after all!"

"But……"

Liu Yu's eyes rolled around, her eye sockets instantly turned red, her voice was so tender that tears could drip out of it, and there was a hint of crying in it,

"I'm having my period and my stomach hurts so badly. How can you bear to let me work in such severe pain?"

As she spoke, she blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Lu Wusong pitifully, looking like a weak person who could not take care of herself.

When Lu Wusong heard this, veins popped up on his forehead, as if a surge of anger was rushing straight to his head. He gnashed his teeth and roared:

"So you have your period more than ten times a month?! You think I'm a fool, right?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Yu shrank his head, but forced a flattering smile on his face, trying to get away with it, and did not forget to respond playfully:

"Hey!"

Lu Wusong sighed helplessly, his heart was filled with irritation. He frowned, lowered his head slowly, and decided not to bother with Liu Yu anymore and continued to immerse himself in the work at hand.

"Click."

Just when the office was so quiet that only the sound of shuffling papers and the occasional sigh could be heard, the door was suddenly pushed open and Lin Guochang and Ruan Tianli walked in side by side.

Ruan Tianli had a solemn look on his face, holding several documents tightly in his hands. He walked and looked at them, shaking his head and sighing from time to time, with an expression as if he had seen something extremely tricky.

As soon as he entered the room, he threw the documents heavily on the table with his backhand, making a "bang" sound, breaking the original silence in the office.

"The more I investigate, the angrier I get. This old Biden is actually connected to the Hunter Association, Neon, and even Lao Mei."

Ruan Tianli said this through gritted teeth, his eyes revealing an uncontrollable anger.

Lin Guochang patted his shoulder gently and comforted him:

"Don't worry. It seems that the senior members of the parliament are all involved. This matter is much more complicated than we thought."

Lu Wusong listened, nodded slightly, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said thoughtfully:

"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Their position in the alliance is very important. Before Xia Nantian comes back, we really can't act rashly. However, it is necessary to give them a proper warning. We have to let them know that we have been targeting them and they should not think that we can do whatever they want."

As he spoke, he cast his eyes towards Liu Yu, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"I'll leave this matter to you. You don't have anything else to do anyway."

"Oh, that's fine. Leave those old guys to me."

Liu Yu rubbed her hands excitedly and nodded without hesitation. She was obviously more willing to take some practical actions than to deal with those boring documents in the office that made her want to sleep just by looking at them.

Although she had no idea how to beat those old guys, since it was called a beating, in her understanding, it would be fine as long as she didn't beat them to death.

As for what happens next, we'll just take it one step at a time.

"Hey! Where on earth is our champion at this critical moment?"

Lu Wusong leaned back in his chair tiredly, his eyes revealing a hint of worry and helplessness.

Before the King of Kings Tournament began, Xia Nantian claimed that he had important things to do, and then hurriedly left China.

As for where he went and what he did, the Four Heavenly Kings knew nothing.

If it weren't for the regular contact, he would have thought Xia Nantian had died abroad.

"Since Xia Nantian has entrusted Huaxia to us with confidence, this is enough to show his trust in us."

Lin Guochang looked concerned and spoke in a gentle voice to comfort them, trying to dispel the gloom that was lingering in the office.

Lu Wusong said "hmm" softly and nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with Lin Guochang, the new colleague.

Since Lin Guochang joined, the heavy workload on his shoulders has been greatly reduced. He can finally take a breath and not be overwhelmed by the busy affairs.

Ruan Tianli sat alone, silent, brows furrowed, a heart full of worry that was almost overflowing.

He couldn't contact Yu Xuan no matter what, and this made him upset.

Although Yu Xuan is now a wanted fugitive in the alliance, the two have always kept in touch privately. Yu Xuan also asks him for advice on raising a daughter from time to time, and the two have a close relationship.

This time, Xia Nantian left China without any warning and acted so strangely that Ruan Tianli instinctively wanted to get some information from Yu Xuan to see if he could find out the situation.

However, after several attempts, no one answered the phone. Only twice did two little girls answer the phone, but they refused to say anything when asked, and just said that their father was not there.

Ruan Tianli's intuition told him that given the life-long friendship between Yu Xuan and Xia Nantian, there was a high probability that Xia Nantian had taken Yu Xuan with him when he went abroad this time.

What kind of big event could cause two top trainers with championship strength to go out at the same time?

The secret hidden behind this made Ruan Tianli feel heavy in his heart.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Wusong, Lin Guochang and Liu Yu calmly. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly and he made a decision in his heart instantly.

It’s better not to talk about this.

Putting aside other things for now, before Lu Wusong joined the ranks of the Four Heavenly Kings, he always regarded Yu Xuan as an object of worship and following, and had great respect for Xuan.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Yu Xuan was burdened with an unforgivable sin - he massacred an entire village of innocent people and then defected from the alliance. This evil act was simply unforgivable.

Lu Wusong didn't believe it at first. He wanted to clear Yu Xuan's name, so he went around investigating. But the more he learned, the more he found that the sad facts were true.

No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Yu Xuan has so much blood on his hands.

And the truth behind that tragedy...

When Ruan Tianxiang thought of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists until his knuckles turned white.

He was one of the few people who knew the inside story. Many times, the truth almost slipped out of his mouth, and he wanted to tell it all at once.

But he couldn't. Once he opened his mouth, the cruel truth would be like a surging tide, dragging everyone into an endless whirlpool of pain.

So, he could only grit his teeth and keep his mouth shut.

Lin Guochang took in Ruan Tianli's expression and touched his chin thoughtfully.
