Just as Liu Yun was playing around and changing clothes with four beautiful girls, Liu Ling returned to their home in Yangzhou City. Looking around the familiar room that now felt exceptionally empty, she felt a complex mix of emotions. She sighed softly, took her phone out of her bag, and her fingertips danced across the screen to dial that familiar number.
"Beep... beep..." The ringing echoed in the quiet air, and Liu Ling's heart rate accelerated along with it. Before long, Liu Yun's gentle and slightly weary voice came from the other end: "Hello, Lingling, what's wrong? Is there some kind of emergency?"
Hearing her brother's voice, Liu Ling's nose stung. She quickly took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound as steady as possible: "Brother, it's me, Lingling. I... I have some things I want to tell you."
Liu Yun seemed to sense that something was wrong with his sister's mood, and his tone became even gentler: "Lingling, don't rush, tell me slowly. What happened?"
Liu Ling told Liu Yun everything that had happened at the university over the past few days, from the conversation with the principal to the sudden appearance of the military officers, and finally, the full story of her being arranged for early graduation and appointed as the chief researcher for the Jiangnan region. After finishing, she paused and asked softly: "Brother, is this... real? I feel like I'm dreaming."
These words made Liu Yun frown again. This move was too ruthless; they had actually targeted Liu Ling.
In truth, Liu Yun had no resentment toward the military. After all, they represented Huaxia, and he was even willing to take the initiative to provide some help to allow Huaxia to make greater progress.
If both sides could talk, Liu Yun could step in and let the military obtain some of the base's technological achievements. A few successes would be enough to change the current balance of power between Huaxia and the human bases of other continents.
"You aren't dreaming! Your brother is now a War God, but I live in the residential area of the HR Alliance. Tsk, I'm coming home to see you!"
Liu Yun felt it was necessary to explain things clearly to Liu Ling so she wouldn't be scared, but several heroic and stern-looking people beside Liu Ling had already taken the phone.
"War God Liu Yun, we are representatives of the military, and this time we are here to negotiate with you on their behalf! Your sister is our chief negotiator, and we are waiting for you at your home."
These military personnel had already taken control of Liu Ling. Liu Yun gasped, hung up the phone directly, and decided to save the rest of the conversation for when they met in person!
However, what he didn't expect was that the poisonous woman Venina had long wanted Liu Ling dead. Even with the military representatives there, they were impatient to strike.
"Kill that bitch for me. Send a few death squads over, and make it clean!"
Over the phone, Venina told her subordinates this. Having waited so long, she had already figured out exactly what she wanted to do!
After hanging up the phone, a strong sense of unease surged in Liu Yun's heart. He knew well how ruthless and unscrupulous Venina was, and his worry for his sister Liu Ling burned like a wildfire.
Without a moment's hesitation, Liu Yun used his technological equipment to head toward Yangzhou City at top speed, while secretly praying that his sister would be safe and sound.
When Liu Yun arrived in Yangzhou City at a speed beyond that of an ordinary person, the scene before him made his heart ache. Outside the house, it was a mess. Several military representatives who should have been protecting Liu Ling lay on the ground, clearly having lost their ability to fight. Their weapons were scattered everywhere, and traces of a fierce battle remained in the surroundings.
The people from the HR Alliance often acted faster than the military because they were willing to spend money and possessed more elite technology.
Liu Yun's gaze swept across the area, but he did not see Liu Ling. An unprecedented anger and panic surged in his chest; he could almost hear his heart beating like a drum.
"Brother! Save me!"
Suddenly, from high up in a building, Liu Yun heard a scream. Several burly white men were pushing Liu Ling off the high-rise with cruel expressions on their faces.
"Watch your own kin die with your own eyes!"
These people had even come up with torturous methods; they wanted Liu Yun to watch Liu Ling meet her end with his own eyes.
"No!"
In an instant, Liu Yun roared. He transformed into a streak of light, rushing up to save her. He was extremely fast and was almost about to reach his target.
Seeing this, the burly white men were shocked. They pulled out their Laser Guns; no one could be faster than a beam of light.
At this moment, Liu Yun was already at very close range. He raised his eyes, knowing there wasn't enough time, and used his Psychic Power to pull Liu Ling toward him.
"Hum!"
Several beams of light grazed past. It was mainly because these people had spent time pulling the triggers, failing to harm Liu Ling.
Psychic Power generally could not be used on living organisms, but Liu Yun was an exception. Given the precision with which the HR Alliance operated, they would never have given Liu Yun a chance to save her.
However, they wanted to torture Liu Yun and had forgotten that his Psychic Power was special, thus giving Liu Yun a sliver of opportunity to save Liu Ling in the blink of an eye.
When those HR Alliance members saw this, they were filled with regret! The mission could no longer be completed, so they fired a few shots at each other, killing one another. This was to ensure there would be no evidence left behind.
Everyone else suspected of being involved in this incident would "be suicided" to ensure Liu Yun had nowhere to investigate. This was a signature move of the HR Alliance; they touted human rights and claimed never to kill, but it just so happened that all their enemies liked to commit suicide.
After saving Liu Ling, Liu Yun took her and hid in a blind spot of the building, looking at his long-lost sister with excitement.
"Lingling, are you okay?" Liu Yun asked urgently.
Liu Ling looked up and saw her brother, her eyes instantly reddening: "Brother, I'm fine. Thank you, Brother. They were so scary."
Liu Yun gently patted his sister's shoulder, comforting her: "Don't be afraid. With me here, no one can hurt you."
Liu Ling threw herself into Liu Yun's arms and wept, while Liu Yun hurriedly brought her back home. For now, no one could hurt them.
Those military representatives hadn't actually died; they had been guarding Liu Ling until they lost their ability to fight, and now they were incredibly ashamed after learning the situation.
"Sigh, our technological capabilities still can't compare to those foreign barbarians, but I think if War God Liu Yun is willing to assist us, things will be different!"
The military representatives continued to offer an olive branch. Liu Yun frowned; it wasn't the time for him to leave the HR Alliance yet, and he didn't want people to think he was afraid.
"I won't make any decisions for the time being, but I can provide you with a few different traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, all of which are many times better than the ones circulating on the market!"
As he spoke, Liu Yun took out a prescription, all of which had been deduced by his Machine Race Clone using super-strong computing power.
In fact, traditional Chinese medicine was a science of phenomena, and many things could not be measured by simple logic; it truly had many remarkable aspects. The current problem with traditional Chinese medicine was the prevalence of fake drugs and scammers. Liu Yun wanted to change the unfavorable situation of Huaxia's biotechnology starting with traditional medicine.
When the military representatives heard that Liu Yun was willing to provide improved traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, their eyes instantly flashed with excitement. They knew well that as a War God, the technological strength and wisdom behind Liu Yun were not those of an ordinary person. If these prescriptions could be applied in practice, they would undoubtedly greatly promote the development of Huaxia's traditional medicine industry and might even spark a new trend internationally.
"War God Liu Yun, we are deeply honored and grateful for your generous help!" One military representative stepped forward, his tone full of sincerity. "If these prescriptions can be successfully promoted, they will not only benefit countless people but also greatly enhance the status and influence of our country's traditional medicine internationally."
Another representative added: "Yes, War God Liu Yun. To express our gratitude and ensure the safety of you and your sister, we have decided to immediately upgrade the security conditions and treatment for Miss Liu Ling. We will dispatch the most elite special forces members to protect her safety around the clock. At the same time, we will also strengthen monitoring and patrols around your residence and the surrounding area to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Hearing this, Liu Yun nodded slightly, feeling a bit relieved. He understood that although he possessed extraordinary power, individual strength was ultimately limited, and the military's support and protection would undoubtedly build a solid line of defense for him and his sister.
"Sister, don't go to my villa in the HR Alliance for now. It's safer to stay with the military. Let's leave it at that for now; I will come to see you later."
Liu Yun spoke to the still-shaken Liu Ling, who pondered for a moment; Liu Yun always seemed to have his reasons, so she had no choice but to listen to him.
"Alright, brother! Although I really want to spend more time with you, now that Mom and Dad are gone, you and I are all that's left of this family."
Liu Ling struggled a bit in Liu Yun's embrace before stepping out and saying obediently, and the two bid each other a reluctant farewell, though as long as Liu Yun's formula was proven effective, Liu Ling's status at the military base would not be low.
After seeing Liu Ling off, Liu Yun immediately began to investigate everything behind the scenes, and the Machine Race Clone quickly reached a conclusion.
"Master has been exposed; everything was instigated by Venina."
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Liu Yun's face; it seemed he would have to carefully consider how to deal with these two shameless old thieves, as Li Wei's death was clearly his own fault.
