After the Breakup, He Washed Away the Memories Chapter 75

Chapter 75

<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>

Since the argument between Rong Qiu and Qin Zexi, Qin Zexi had never appeared in front of Rong Qiu again. At least every time Rong Qiu accompanied Rong Qin, there was no sign of Qin Zexi outside the ICU.

After all, the last time he spoke, it was decisive.

But those were the words he had been wanting to say all along. Previously, he had been holding back because he didn’t want to upset Rong Qin. However, he believed that these were not the kind of words his brother would say to Qin Zexi. Although his brother usually had a sharp tongue, he had a soft heart. He was a typical example of a harsh exterior but a tender interior. Even if they were to part ways, he only hoped that there would be no further entanglements in the future. His brother wouldn’t say anything too harsh.

But this clearly wasn’t working.

Dealing with someone like Qin Zexi required being straightforward, laying everything out on the table, poking at his sore spots repeatedly until his pride shattered into pieces. Qin Zexi was like the fiercest tiger. Even though he seemed injured from his divorce with Rong Qin, an injured tiger was still a tiger. Once the tiger regained its strength, retaliation could happen at any moment…

And Rong Qiu hadn’t disclosed anything that might be related to Qin Zexi’s involvement in the recent incident with the Thirty-Eighth Division.

Firstly, it was merely suspicion between him and Qin Muye. Secondly, the matter was of great significance. If the Thirteenth Military District, or even the Federation, found out that Qin Zexi was the one who betrayed them, it would completely tarnish the military district’s reputation. An S-rank the Alpha created by the Federation military district actually committing acts that undermined the Federation’s military affairs—how ironic.

Meanwhile, Rong Qiu had already taken over all matters related to the Volunteer Army.

The mechas were being repaired methodically, and the injured patients were slowly recovering. However, this subsidiary star, engulfed in continuous warfare, still remained in the midst of turmoil.

In terms of actual size, the area of this subsidiary star was not inferior to the main star U in the Thirteenth Military District. However, due to its extremely remote geographical location and desolate ecological environment, this star had always been a border star managed by the Thirteenth Military District. Now, after being ravaged by pirates, the buildings constructed over many years were blasted apart, and the green plants painstakingly cultivated on the subsidiary star withered once again. All the artillery fire and bloodshed only made the desolation even more poignant.

In the waiting and work of this day after day, Rong Qiu’s mood remained depressed.

Rong Qin still hadn’t regained consciousness. The brain was the most intricate part of the human body, and Rong Qin had suffered from brain hemorrhage before. This time, with another hemorrhage, even the doctors transferred from the First Military District’s Capital Hospital expressed concern about the situation.

Finally, after waiting for what seemed like an eternity, there was somewhat good news—Zhao Nanchen told him that the person assigned by the Thirteenth Military District had arrived on this star.

When Zhao Nanchen shared this news with Rong Qiu, Rong Qiu happened to receive a call from Qin Muye.

Rong Qiu interrupted Zhao Nanchen, “Wait a moment, I need to take a call.”

Stepping outside the office, Rong Qiu answered the call.

“Rong Qiu, I’ve arrived.”

The Alpha’s words were inexplicable. What did he mean by “he’s arrived”?

When Rong Qiu saw the man with scratches all over the glass outside, all his doubts vanished.

Rong Qiu raised an eyebrow, “Why did you come here?”

The Alpha was still wearing military uniform, with a white shirt underneath and a military green uniform on top. Below were military green trousers of the same color, and the black boots neatly outlined the man’s slender calves. Although it was the simplest and most common military uniform combination, it looked exceptionally handsome on the Alpha.

Especially when the orange light from the twilight sun cast a warm glow diagonally on the Alpha’s uniform, it was perfect, like a vivid oil painting.

Qin Muye had already put down his phone. With a sweep of his long arms, he pushed open the door and stood firmly in front of Rong Qiu, bringing unexpectedly good news to Rong Qiu in a somewhat sudden manner: “Rong Qiu, I am the temporary person in charge of this subsidiary star.”

***

The formal alliance between the regular army and the Volunteer Army was formally established.

Even if the Thirty-Eighth Division of the Thirteenth Military District was dissatisfied, they couldn’t override Qin Muye’s authority. The chief commander of the Thirteenth Military District personally came over, not only to remove the bad elements from the Thirty-Eighth Division in advance but also to propose inviting the leaders of various Volunteer Armies to the next interim meeting.

This was the first time Rong Qiu and Qin Muye sat at the same round table. Alongside them were the current manager of the subsidiary star, Zhao Nanchen, and the leaders of two other Volunteer Armies.

There was a somewhat medieval sense of Round Table Knights.

Today, everyone had gathered together to formally reach a cooperation agreement.

Nowadays, pirates were roaming everywhere, making the specific situation unclear. Just based on the data statistics, there had been as many as thirty-six pirate attacks, all within a week of the outbreak of minor conflicts on the subsidiary star. Moreover, the number of pirates was increasing day by day, and many of them were even piloting the latest mechas designed by Rong Qiu.

When Qin Muye mentioned the latter, the entire meeting room fell silent.

The latest military mechas designed by Rong Qiu were only available for sale in the thirteen military districts of the Federation. How could they have fallen into the hands of pirates, becoming their most formidable weapons…

But no one could provide a specific answer.

Even Rong Qiu, who usually had a calm demeanor, furrowed his brows slightly. It wasn’t that he wanted to exonerate the Volunteer Army, but the fact was as he stated: “According to the data from our Volunteer Army, ninety percent of the latest military mechas we brought over have already been recovered. Even if the remaining ten percent are just scraps, the important mecha components have been removed. The military mechas that pirates are able to operate did not leak out from our side.”

“It’s not from you.”

Qin Muye projected the contents from the lightbrain onto the electronic display screen, zooming in on the mechas piloted by the pirates. “Although they are also the latest mechas, there are differences. Look here…”

Rong Qiu narrowed his eyes. “Have they modified the wings?”

As the designer of the mechas, Rong Qiu naturally noticed the differences at a glance. “With such modifications, the flying speed of the mechas would be greatly increased, but the payload capacity for artillery would be significantly reduced. In other words, the originally balanced mechas have been converted into pure speed mechas.”

As soon as Rong Qiu finished speaking, the manager of the subsidiary star slammed the table and exclaimed, “These d*mned pirates! Someone among them actually knows how to modify mechas.”

The already fierce pirates now possess mechas with extremely fast speeds.

Everyone present was extremely troubled.

After the meeting ended, Qin Muye stayed behind with Rong Qiu.

Rong Qiu followed behind the Alpha, still holding the topographic map from the meeting, which had many markings on it. This was Rong Qiu’s habit; he always left traces on paper when he was thinking seriously. For example, the schematic diagram of the pirate mechas, and the points occupied by the pirates on the subsidiary star, among which the key locations, as Rong Qiu saw them, were all circled by him.

Rong Qiu arrived at Qin Muye’s office.

Whether it was his imagination or not, he vaguely smelled the fragrance of flowers, but he didn’t care about it.

Rong Qiu closed the door softly, and Qin Muye got straight to the point: “The mechas actually originated from the Fourth Military District.”

“?”

“The Fourth Military District was the largest district under my brother’s influence in previous years.”

“? ? ?”

Qin Muye rubbed his forehead with one hand, looking very tired.

“So, it really was my brother.”
