Chapter 430 Bear the humiliation and bear the burden

"Where's the stuff?"

In mid-air, Xue Muqing's three-dimensional projection stared at Ai Wanxin with his lavender pupils and said coldly.

Ai Wanxin couldn't help but laugh.

"What's the difference between me talking to you via video in Liancheng and talking to you via video on the plane? You know what a face-to-face interview means, right, General Xue?"

Xue Muqing remained unmoved and said, "I have the final say here. You are not qualified to negotiate with me."

Ai Wanxin folded her arms and looked at Xue Muqing's projection, tapping her left arm with her right index finger.

"General Xue, you are very strange." She said slowly, "You agreed to the interview because I have what you want. After I arrived in Liancheng, you still did not show up. Now you say that I am not qualified to negotiate with you. You are contradicting yourself."

"If you wanted to trick me into coming to Liancheng and kill me, you could have done it right there on the tarmac, but you had someone bring me here and even talked to me..."

Ai Wanxin paused here. Xue Muqing still did something so obviously unreasonable. He couldn't possibly think that after a video chat in Liancheng, he would hand over Academician Yang's research results to him, right?

Xue Muqing sneered and said, "Do you really need me to tell you straight? I'm just kidding you."

Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? What's the point?"

"Send me away so you can capture other bases? General Xue, you've fought in many battles, so you can't be unaware of modern warfare. In many cases, the first battle is the decisive battle, and the situation changes rapidly. Opportunities are fleeting."

"The executive officers of all the major bases are in Glory City, and Glory City has undergone a major change. If you want to capture other bases, this is the best opportunity, but you gave three days' notice."

"You deliberately tricked me into coming to Liancheng and then went to capture other bases just to trick me. You don't believe it yourself, do you?"

Xue Muqing sneered, "Maybe I gave you a warning simply because I look down on you. You deceived the world and stole your reputation, and staged a big show in front of the whole country. I can't stand your success, so I'm playing tricks on you. Is it hard to understand?"

Ai Wanxin narrowed her eyes slightly. This Xue Muqing looked arrogant and rude, looking down on everyone equally. He was indeed like the rumors said, a mad dog that would bite anyone he caught.

But if you really regard his behavior as a result of his personality, then you have fallen into his trap.

Whether he was ignoring me in parliament, attacking my past on the plane, or speaking rudely now, he was just trying to anger me, and anger can make people lose their judgment and make wrong decisions on impulse.

In everything, we should see the essence through the phenomenon, just like when martial arts masters fight, no fake move is meaningless.

So, if we remove all the thorns from these words, Xue Muqing's purpose, if not to surround and kill her in Liancheng, then he needs her to come to Liancheng...

Ai Wan had a vague guess in her heart.

She turned around and sat down on the sofa behind her, and said slowly: "General Xue, although I don't know you, you should know yourself well. If you just want to tease me, would you still be here chatting with me now?"

"You want the council to return the equipment they stole from you, but you won't tell me what it is. You want the research results of Academician Yang in my hands, but you can't show up in front of me."

"I guess you didn't say it because you can't say it?"

"You can't appear in front of me, I guess it's because you can't do it, right?"

Xue Muqing's eyes wrinkled slightly, and although they quickly returned to normal, such a change could not escape Ai Wanxin's eyes that were carefully observing his expression.

Ai Wanxin was more certain of her judgment. She said firmly, "Because your physical condition does not allow you to appear in front of me, and the equipment you want is closely related to your body!"

Xue Muqing frowned, and his double pupils stared at Ai Wanxin's eyes, a hint of gloomy murderous intent flashing across them.

Ai Wanxin knew that she guessed right.

She chuckled and said, "General Xue, when you first accessed the parliament's confidential line, you ignored me and didn't seem to know me."

"But when we talked on the plane just now, you knew that I came from an orphanage, and you knew my experience. You even knew my love history."

"Then I was in Frost City, in front of half the people in the city, and I was killing people and turning their bones into flesh and blood. Did you find out about it?"

Xue Muqing pursed his lips and did not answer.

Ai Wanxin looked at him without avoiding.

Only those who have chips in their hands can keep calm.

Just like when Xue Muqing launched a surprise attack on Liancheng, Ai Wanxin had to leave the turbulent Guanghui City and make the trip in person, because Xue Muqing took Liancheng and had cutting-edge equipment that far exceeded that of the active troops, and threatened to randomly capture other bases.

She had to do it herself so that she could adapt to the circumstances and find out Xue Mucheng's background.

But now, after she walked into this room, the balance of power between them had slowly tipped towards her side.

Xue Muqing did not suddenly choose this time to launch the attack because the executive officers were all in Guanghui City and the bases were empty, or because there were sudden changes in the Security Bureau meeting.

Perhaps it was really because the things that maintained his body functions were stolen, and he was in imminent danger, so he had no choice but to go to war.

They can't produce this thing themselves, and they're not sure when they can find it back. The ability to repair the body is his last straw.

But he must have known that exposing his weaknesses too early would lead to a crushing defeat in this confrontation, so he kept irritating himself, trying to confuse the public and prevent himself from thinking about the unreasonable aspects of this.

Delay time first, then make changes as needed.

Hidden beneath Xue Muqing's mad dog appearance, is a heart full of wisdom and strategies.

Xue Muqing naturally couldn't admit that Ai Wanxin had guessed his weakness, so he said indifferently: "I have seen your eloquence today, but unfortunately, what you said is all your imagination."

Ai Wan said nonchalantly, "Maybe, but I'm curious, your health is like this, why do you still refuse the dispatch of the parliament and the military? I guess even if you had that equipment, you could only survive, right?"

Xue Muqing was silent for a moment, then he picked out one of the sentences and said, "I am indeed not as good as you in enduring humiliation and being a dog of the parliament."

"I'm afraid Feng Jingyi didn't expect that the one who pulled him down from the high platform would be a yellow-haired girl like you."

Ai Wanxin was still not angry. She said meaningfully, "You have a lot of opinions about the parliament, but what about the military? Why don't you obey orders?"

Xue Muqing's jaw was tight and he didn't answer.

"Could it be related to the death of the former highest military commander -" Ai Wanxin said word by word, "Commander Yang Chongzhang?"
