That person spent a while in the conference room, but clearly failed to find what she was looking for.
She searched through the room once again and then finally gave up, carefully walking back to the door and putting an ear against it. After confirming that no one was outside, she gently opened the door, prepared to leave.
“I didn’t know that Miss. Yan likes to enter other people’s conference rooms without an invitation. How’s it going? Have you found what you were looking for yet?” A voice was heard suddenly.
That person who was preparing to leave the conference room gave a start and popped her pretty eyes, staring at Lin Qiao who was standing behind the door.
Lin Qiao had her hands resting in the pockets of her trousers, with one leg bent. Leaning against the wall by the door, she turned and glanced at Yan Fangyu, who was wearing a black mask which couldn’t cover her entire face. A faint smile could be detected from Lin Qiao’s eyes.
Yan Fangyu immediately turned around and rushed toward the window on the other side of the conference room. It seemed that she was trying to break the window and rush out.
However, she wasn’t fast enough. Once she reached to the window, her slim neck was gripped by a hand. And then, she felt a great force violently drag her behind.
Next, her body flew backward.
Thud! Yan Fangyu was thrown onto a cabinet against the wall.
Click! The light was turned on. The dark conference room was immediately well-illuminated.
Lin Qiao walked back from the window as she looked at Yan Fangyu, who seemed to be a little stunned.
“What? Do you wanna run? Do you think you can still run away? Not to mention the fact that you sneaked into my conference room to try and steal confidential files, I won’t let you get away with this easily after you have killed one of my soldiers,” Lin Qiao looked down at the other, who was sitting on the ground, as she spoke coldly.
Quick footstep sounds were heard from the outside. Before long, Duan Juan showed up by the door with her people.
The soldiers who followed Duan Juan into the conference room immediately pointed their guns at Yan Fangyu.
Yan Fangyu calmed back down. She didn’t take off her mask, but glared at Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao’s eyes now looked like the eyes of healthy people. She was wearing a training suit, looking nothing special. Yan Fangyu only saw her as a healthy human being.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me, Miss. Yan?” Lin Qiao looked at Yan Fangyu with composure as she stepped back to the conference table and leaned against it while asking with a smile.
Yan Fangyu slowly stood up and raised a hand to take off her mask. Then, she smiled at Lin Qiao and said, “Are you the leader of this place now?”
She smiled relaxedly, and didn’t seem to panic at all.
She had seen Lin Qiao once, when the latter was fighting against Yang Chao. Back then, Lin Qiao was still wearing sunglasses.
Lin Qiao now looked largely different from before. Yan Fangyu wouldn’t have recognized her if she didn’t remember her voice.
“Yes, I’m the leader of this place. So, how should I punish you now?” Lin Qiao nodded and raised her eyebrows.
“Punish? Hehe, I don’t think you’re qualified for that,” Yan Fangyu laughed, her eyes filled with scorn. “Do you really think of this place as a base? You don’t even have four-thousand people in total. Don’t forget that our people are in this place too.”
Lin Qiao looked at her with a faint smile, saying, “You think I don’t dare to do anything to you, right? Your base has over a million people. Yes, our base is not as richly populated as yours at the time. But, does that allow you to steal files from our base and kill our people?”
The smile on Lin Qiao’s face faded as she finished her speech, continuing coldly, “Not even Wu Chengyue has the right to do that.”
Yan Fangyu actually believed that Lin Qiao didn’t dare to hurt her. Lin Qiao thought for a moment, and then agreed with her. Sea City Base was large. Over a million survivors were living there, so they had at least three-hundred-thousand men in their army.
Any troop or army group from that base would be able to destroy her thousands of people and new base that didn’t even have a fence wall yet.
Therefore, as a Deputy Chief of Sea City Base, Yan Fangyu didn’t take Lin Qiao and her people seriously at all.
At least, Yan Fangyu did think that way.
“I wasn’t trying to steal your files. You didn’t see me taking anything, did you? Besides, what in this place can I possibly be interested in?”
“Well, so tell me, why did you sneak into this room in darkness? You clearly know that my base is underpopulated, yet you killed one of my people without a reason. Don’t you know that people aren’t allowed to kill in a survivor base?” Lin Qiao asked in a bland tone.
“I was passing by. Do you believe me? As for killing, did you witness it? Did you?” Yan Fangyu smilingly denied. She pointed at Lin Qiao, then at Duan Juan and the people around her.
Then, she walked to the conference table and pulled out a chair to sit down, as if the other people weren’t there.
“You! Stop denying! Our Chief has caught you! Just admit it!” Both Lin Qiao and Duan Juan stayed silent, but Li Hongsheng, who was standing beside Duan Juan, glared at Yan Fangyu and yelled out.
The others on the scene were all staring at her with anger, as they had never seen such shameless woman.
“Deny? Hehe, do I need to do that?” Yan Fangyu shrugged.
The people in the room gazed at her wrathfully, but didn’t dare to do anything to her. So, they all turned their eyes to Lin Qiao, hoping that she could give an order to punish that arrogant woman.
That woman was so pretty. Those people thought that she would be nice too, but soon realized that they were wrong.
She was confident because she had a strong background. The people on Lin Qiao’s side didn’t dare to hurt her indeed. After all, Sea City Base had been helping them quite a lot, and had sent over seven to eight hundred people. If Yan Fangyu walked out now and gave a shout, those people would immediately follow her words and attack the people in the new base.
More importantly, if Sea City Base people heard about this and misunderstood, they might think that the people in the new base had given Yan Fangyu a difficult time. In that way, things would become really troublesome.
“If your Sea City Base people see you now, how will they feel?” Lin Qiao ignored Yan Fangyu’s proud face but asked blandly.
“See me now? What’s wrong with me now? Am I not good? Is there a problem?” Seeing that the people on the scene only blocked the door without daring to approach her, Yan Fangyu was even more complacent. She didn’t take Lin Qiao’s words seriously at all.
“You think so? Alright! Miss. Yan, please go back to your room. And please don’t come out to go through other people’s things without permission… and don’t kill anyone. I’ll send someone to your Base to ask your Chief to come over and deal with this. So Miss. Yan, please cooperate with us,” Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows as she turned and said to the other.
