He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

Shui Qingli chuckled and teased, "Aren't I playing the role of your girlfriend right now? Do you really want to take this for real?"

"Okay, enough joking, I'm talking about serious matters."

Upon hearing this, Shui Qingli's expression also became serious.

Zhang Beixing explained his plan to her in detail.

After hearing this, Shui Qingli hesitated: "Is this really feasible?"

"Of course it's feasible; it's a military strategy from ancient times."

“But wouldn’t you suffer a bit if you did that? I don’t agree with doing that.”

"It's okay. I'm willing."

Shui Qingli remained silent for a moment, staring intently at Zhang Beixing.

She understood that Zhang Beixing was doing this for the sake of Lin Guo, and also for her own good.

He was willing to sacrifice for her, but why couldn't he fall in love with her?
Seeing her lost in thought, Zhang Beixing urged, "Do you agree or not? We need to hurry up and have breakfast; I'm starving."

"After all, this is quite dangerous..."

"Why are you being so long-winded? If you don't agree, then forget it."

As Zhang Beixing spoke, he made a move to leave.

Shui Qingli quickly grabbed his arm, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I agree."

As she finished speaking, a tear slid down her cheek.

Zhang Beixing gently wiped away her tears and said tenderly, "This was my own choice, why are you crying?"

Shui Qingli felt incredibly warm from Zhang Beixing's gesture.

She was immersed in this warmth when suddenly she hugged Zhang Beixing tightly.

Zhang Beixing was slightly taken aback, but he did not push her away.

Since the two of them ultimately cannot be together, it wouldn't hurt to let her hug him and feel that warmth.

Zhang Beixing could clearly feel her softness pressed tightly against him, which stirred a strange feeling within him.

After hugging for a full three minutes, Zhang Beixing said softly, "Alright, it's time to let go, otherwise those two girls outside will think we're doing something naughty."

Shui Qingli released him and glared at him reproachfully.

"I wish you would do something bad, do you dare?"

Afterwards, the two went to the living room.

They didn't explain anything to Shui Lili and Zhu Xiaoling.

The two girls were quite sensible and didn't ask any further questions.

After finishing his meal, Zhang Beixing said to Shui Qingli, "You go to work, I'm going out for a bit."

"Brother Zhang, where are you going?" Zhu Xiaoling asked curiously.

She thought to herself, if they were to go sightseeing today, she hoped they could take her along.

"I have some personal matters to attend to, so you stay home and don't ask too many questions."

Zhu Xiaoling wondered to herself, what private matters could possibly be happening here?

But since Zhang Beixing told her not to ask, she didn't press the matter further.

After Zhang Bei left, Zhu Xiaoling couldn't help but say, "Why are those two being so secretive?"

"What exactly are they plotting?"

"How would I know? Why don't we secretly follow him?"

"No, since Zhang Beixing said he has private business, we shouldn't follow him rashly. What if we ruin his plans?"

The two girls were bored at home.

Zhu Xiaoling suggested, "Why don't we go for a walk?"

Shui Lili shook her head and said, "It's better to stay here obediently. Now that there are people from the Flower Kingdom here, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause? We shouldn't cause trouble for the King."

Zhu Xiaoling thought about it and agreed. She had nothing else to do, so she went back to her room and scrolled through her phone.

Shui Qingli arranged a bus for Zhang Beixing and even sent a driver to take him.

After Zhang Beixing got into the car, the driver asked, "Mr. Fang, where are we going?"

Zhang Beixing shook his head.

"I don't know either. I'll just do whatever the king arranges."

The driver was taken aback, thinking to himself that the king hadn't said that at all; the king had clearly said that he would follow Zhang Beixing's orders in everything.

Seeing the driver's confusion, Zhang Beixing explained, "We're going to put on a show today, and now I need to let you know what this show is all about."

"Mr. Fang, what do you mean by that?"

Zhang Beixing then explained his plan to the driver in detail.

The driver was stunned after hearing this.

Zhang Beixing asked, "What? Are you scared?"

The driver quickly shook his head.

"I'm not scared, I'm just a little surprised."

Zhang Beixing pondered to himself that since Shui Qingli had arranged such a driver for him, she must be confident and not afraid of anything.

"Alright, then which section of the road will the king assign us to carry out the mission?"

"I don't know either. I just told you, we have to wait for her to make the arrangements."

Zhang Beixing then dialed Shui Qingli's number.

Shui Qingli said on the phone that she was looking at a map and needed to find a representative place.

He also said he would call Zhang Beixing back in three minutes at most.

Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Shui Qingli called to tell Zhang Beixing the specific route and asked him to pass it on to the driver.

Zhang Beixing immediately informed the driver of the road information.

The driver said, "Alright, let's set off now."

The section of road that Shui Qingli arranged was Huayuan East Road, which is a very bustling area.

There were rumors that the selection of the capital city might involve this matter.

But it was later discovered that these rumors were spread by some local real estate developers who wanted to trick people into buying houses.

When the driver told Zhang Beixing about it, he couldn't help but laugh. It seems that these tricks to fool people are everywhere.

A dozen minutes later, they finally arrived at Garden Road.

Zhang Beixing said they could just find a suitable place to stop nearby. The driver immediately stopped the car.

Zhang Beixing got out of the car, pretending to make a phone call, holding the phone to his ear and muttering something. The driver, meanwhile, looked around in surprise.

Even though it's just acting, we still have to stay vigilant at all times.

Just then, several men walked out of a nearby supermarket.

They were all dressed in black, and their faces were completely covered, with only their eyes showing.

Everyone was holding a submachine gun and started firing at Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing appeared to be focused on making the phone call, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

Suddenly, a bullet hurtled towards Zhang Beixing and struck him directly in the arm.

Zhang Beixing let out a scream of pain, only then realizing the danger.

He shouted, "You bunch of bastards!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Beixing rushed forward and grabbed a man's body.

When the bullets flew over, they almost turned the man into a sieve.

Zhang Beixing immediately grabbed the gun and then quickly opened fire on the other people.

Seeing this, the remaining people immediately took off running, and the driver also got out of the car.

But Zhang Beixing seemed to be struggling to hold on and was about to faint, so he quickly let go of her hand.

The driver quickly grabbed the man. "Tell me, who sent you?"

At this moment, Zhang Beixing had completely lost consciousness.

The man shouted, "Let me go! Let me go right now!"

On the street, many people were in a state of panic, stunned and at a loss by what they had just witnessed.

The driver immediately called Shui Qingli.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Mr. Fang is in trouble!"

Then he recounted the whole story in detail.

Shui Qingli feigned panic on the other end of the phone and hurriedly said, "In that case, get him to the hospital right away!"

The driver carried Zhang Beixing into the car.

Just as the thug was about to slip away, the driver appeared quickly and pointed a gun at him.

"Get in the car right now, or I'll shoot you dead today!"

The man had no choice but to obediently get on the bus as well.

A dozen minutes later, Zhang Beixing was taken to the hospital.

After entering the ward, the doctor bandaged his wound and said that there was nothing serious and he just needed to rest for a few days.

After the driver dismissed the doctors, he whispered to Zhang Beixing, "Mr. Fang, your plan... isn't it..."

“I understand. We call it a self-inflicted injury strategy. I have no choice but to do this in order to better deal with the people from the Flower Kingdom.”

Meanwhile, Shui Qingli had already arrived at the hospital. When she reached the ward, she told the driver to leave.

She wanted to speak with Zhang Beixing alone, so after the driver left, Shui Qingli locked the door from the inside.

Then she immediately threw herself into Zhang Beixing's arms.

"It breaks my heart to see you do this."

"Didn't I tell you? This was my own choice, so why are you so upset?"

Early in the morning, Zhang Beixing mentioned the self-inflicted injury scheme to Shui Qingli.

They intend to frame the people of Huaguo for this.

That would put the Flower Kingdom in a passive position.

This forces them to make a choice.

Shui Qingli originally felt it was unnecessary to do this, but Zhang Beixing insisted.

At this moment, Shui Qingli was filled with sorrow.

"Zhang Beixing, you are a true hero, it's just a pity I can't announce to the public that you are a hero."

Zhang Beixing felt that he didn't care about these empty titles at all.

"Actually, as a member of the Kyushu Empire, you don't need to make this kind of sacrifice at all. If others find out, won't they think you've betrayed the Kyushu Empire?"

"Don't worry, it's not as serious as you think. Besides, the Kyushu Empire and the Lin Kingdom are like brothers now, there's no animosity between them."

As Shui Qingli spoke, tears streamed down her face.

How badly is your arm injured?

Zhang Beixing indicated that Shui Qingli was aware of the people she had chosen.

They won't hurt themselves too badly.

In addition, I am capable of handling it myself.

Unless they deliberately went to be neutron-bombed, they could not possibly have harmed themselves in the slightest.

"But Zhang Beixing, I owe you such a huge favor, I really don't know how to repay you."

"You don't need to think about repaying me. If our Kyushu Empire ever needs anything, just lend us a hand, that's enough."...

"That makes sense. Actually, I'd rather repay him with my body."

"Alright, stop with the mushy stuff."

Zhang Beixing was genuinely afraid that the other party would say something sweet again.

Shui Qingli said, "Can't I at least have a taste of it?"

After a while, Shui Qingli decided to get down to business. She asked the reporters to come over and take some photos to post online.

In addition, the on-site surveillance footage must also be uploaded to the network.

As for the killer the driver caught, he had already been released.

The reason is that the assassin was particularly cunning and took the opportunity to slip away halfway there.

However, the assassin had already confessed that Tom Twelve had sent him.

The driver also recorded the conversation.

Of course, upon closer inspection, this whole thing is full of flaws, but they still intend to make good use of it.

Even if others know there are loopholes, it doesn't matter; they just want to annoy you and see what you can do about it.

With the strong support of the Shuiqingli government, this matter gradually gained traction online.

Shui Qingli was worried that Shui Lili and the other woman would be concerned, so she immediately called them and told them the truth.

Even so, Shui Lili was still shocked when she heard the news.

"What? How could something like this happen?"

It turns out that this was the topic they were talking about that morning.

Zhu Xiaoling was even more worried and immediately called Zhang Beixing.

"Brother Zhang Beixing, why are you being so foolish? This isn't your own country."

"Now that Shui Qingli is my good friend, it's only right that I do these things for her."

Zhu Xiaoling said she was going to the hospital to visit Zhang Beixing later.

"Alright, then you two can come on over."

Shui Lili was a little worried and asked if going there would affect the whole plan.

"It won't have any impact, because the plan has already been completed. The fact that you two are here is proof that I was seriously injured and that you were particularly heartbroken."

Soon, the embassy notified Tom Twelve, questioning him about why he had sent people to shoot Zhang Beixing.

Tom Twelve was both surprised and delighted, never expecting such a message to appear online.

He truly hated Zhang Beixing to the core.

But I'm on their turf, I wouldn't do something so foolish.

Tom Thirteen said, "Uncle, this is clearly their own doing, and they're deliberately framing us."

"Of course I know what's going on, but public opinion is very unfavorable to us right now."

Tom was so angry that the veins on his face bulged.

"Zhang Beixing has really impressed me. He's got guts to do this."

At the same time, he looked at his nephew. The two were about the same age, but his nephew was far inferior to him.

So he called Shui Qingli and said that he absolutely had not done such a thing.

Zhang Beixing must have deliberately framed him.

He originally wanted to say that Shui Qingli had deliberately framed him, but after thinking about it, he changed his wording.

"Lord of the Water Kingdom, think about it. If I really did it, would I have taken action on your territory? And would I have deliberately left survivors to prove that it was us?"

"But now the evidence points to you. Yes, it's entirely possible that you thought you wouldn't do it on our turf, so you did the opposite to mislead people."

"Lord of the Water Kingdom, it seems you are determined to frame me."

"What are you saying? What do you mean by 'wronging you'? I'm heartbroken by how you treated my boyfriend, and you still say things like this to me."

After hanging up the phone, Tom Twelve felt extremely frustrated.

Even though he clearly didn't do such a thing, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Tom Thirteen, meanwhile, kept looking at his phone; the situation was truly unfavorable for them. (End of Chapter)
