Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

"You can also gain enormous power, honor, and money."

"This is a win-win situation for all of us."

The group of men in black were wearing masks.

Their true nature remains elusive, making them appear quite mysterious.

Meng Tianshi did not compromise because of their sweet talk.

"As per our previous agreement, I will only help you obtain military secrets within the Southeast State."

"I don't want to cooperate with you anymore. Now I just want stable development."

Meng Tianshi did indeed take advantage of Jiang Chen.

From the very first time I met Jiang Chen.

Meng Tianshi was already making long-term plans.

Cooperating with the people of the Dead Land was not part of Meng Tianshi's plan.

But the other party suddenly came to her door and promised her many benefits.

Therefore, Meng Tianshi agreed to the other party's conditions.

To help them obtain classified information and troop deployments in the southeastern state.

In return, the people of the Desolate Lands will help the Dream Clan conquer the entire Jinzhou.

The three major families will cease to exist, leaving only the Meng family as the dominant force.

This was an irresistible temptation for Meng Tianshi.

Their lives in Jinzhou were getting worse day by day.

It is no longer as glorious as it once was.

Meng Tianshi harbors immense ambitions.

They wanted to recreate the former glory of the Dream Family.

It may even surpass the peak.

And now, Meng Tianshi has indeed completed her mission.

There's no need to help the people of the Dead Lands fight Jiang Chen anymore.

"You should go back. I will not agree to this."

"I'm doing well now and don't want to get involved in your fights anymore."

"I'm just a businessman."

"With the help of the Land of Death," Meng Tianshi said calmly.

Now she calls the shots in the entire city of Jinzhou.

She is also the true head of the Meng family.

For a woman.

She was already very satisfied.

The people of the desolate land did not seem to intend to let Meng Tianshi off so easily.

They smiled faintly.

Do you think you can get out of this boat unscathed once you've boarded it?

"Either fight alongside us to the very end."

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianshi instantly flew into a rage.

"Stop talking nonsense! I have nothing to do with you anymore. If you have nothing else to do, please leave. You are not welcome here."

Meng Tianshi spoke coldly, her tone revealing an unquestionable resolve.

Of the three major families, the Meng family now stands out.

The other two major families are gradually declining and their strength in all aspects is no longer able to compete with hers, which is exactly the situation she has been dreaming of.

As for other things, she doesn't have any plans for the time being.

She had no deep-seated hatred for Jiang Chen, but she didn't want to create too much trouble between them because of this desolate place.

She just wanted to do business honestly and bring back the glory of the Meng family.

That's it.

Upon hearing this, the group of men in black burst into laughter.

"Hehe, beautiful lady, you are so naive. Do you think there's any chance of turning back now that things have come to this?"

"Now, you only have two paths to take. Either join forces with us to fight against Jiang Chen and help us occupy Southeast State; or, hehe, you know the consequences."

"We can put you in this position, and we can also bring your Meng family to ruin in an instant."

"What, you don't believe I have that ability?"

The other person raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of threat in their eyes.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianshi frowned.

"Don't go too far!"

The man in black persisted and then threw out a contract.

"Beautiful lady, you should have heard about our methods, hehe, think it over carefully."

"You have only one day to make a decision. There will be no more waiting after that. We are not discussing this with you; this is an order."

"Those who resist us will only face death, including the entire Meng family."

After saying that, the man in black strode away, leaving Meng Tianshi standing there, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Looking at this contract, Meng Tianshi felt like the sky was about to fall.

This is irrefutable proof of her collaboration with the Dead Land.

If this is leaked, the Meng family will become the enemy of the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Because she betrayed Jiang Chen.

You should know that Jiang Chen is a figure of faith in the hearts of the people of China.

Although Meng Tianshi had intended to use Jiang Chen, she did not want to be his complete enemy. She only wanted to sacrifice some interests in exchange for the prosperity of her family, which was in line with the interests between families.

But she never expected things to develop to this point, and that she would be unable to turn back.

"My Meng family has finally risen to prominence, are we going to let it all be destroyed like this? No, I refuse to accept this! I've already tried so hard!"

Meng Tianshi collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

She had worked so hard for so long, all to become the hope of the Meng family and to live up to the expectations of her elders.

But she never imagined that she might now become a sinner in the entire Dragon Kingdom, forever infamous.

Cooperating with the desolate land is a dead end, and not cooperating also leads to death.

Meng Tianshi felt she had nowhere to go and her heart was filled with despair.

"Heh, those who offend me never have a good ending."

Just then, Jiang Chen's voice came from behind, startling Meng Tianshi.

She turned around and saw that Jiang Chen was already standing behind her, looking at her with a mocking expression.

"You could have had a bright future. At least your initial approach was correct, and I admire your intelligence."

"Unfortunately, the further you went, the more confused you became, and you chose the wrong side."

Jiang Chen said calmly.

"It seems you already know, so there's no need for me to hide it anymore."

"Jiang Chen, I'm sorry, I've been using you all along."

For some reason, Meng Tianshi felt a sense of relief. She didn't expect Jiang Chen to forgive her, but this feeling of guilt had been weighing her down.

Now that the other party already knows, she can only leave it to fate.

Between Jiang Chen and the Land of Death, she knew very well that Jiang Chen was superior.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen's current situation is also not optimistic, all thanks to her.

Now, the Desolate Lands have launched a major offensive against Jiang Chen, and the Southeast Province is finding it difficult to resist.

This is a well-known thing.

"Do you want to atone for your sins? I need you to do something for me. If you succeed, I will forgive and forget everything, and your Meng family can still be safe and sound and return to normal."

Jiang Chen suddenly spoke up.

Meng Tianshi was stunned. She never expected that Jiang Chen would be willing to let her go after she had hurt him so badly, and even give her a chance to redeem herself.

This kind of courage isn't something everyone possesses.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

If we could rejoin the party, that would be ideal.

Anyone with eyes to see knows that Jiang Chen has a brighter future. In this world, who can rival Jiang Chen?
"Of course it's true, but this mission is very dangerous, and only you can complete it."

Whether you want to do it or not is entirely up to you; I won't force you.

Jiang Chen smiled and spoke slowly.

Since a better option was available, Meng Tianshi naturally wouldn't miss it easily. She barely hesitated; at this moment, as long as she could recover her losses, everything else was irrelevant.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Meng Tianshi nodded in agreement, responding decisively without the slightest hesitation.

"Work with the people of the Dead Lands and do everything they ask."

"You just need to always remember that you are on my side."

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, offering no further explanation.

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianshi was slightly taken aback, but with her intelligence, she instantly guessed Jiang Chen's intention—he was planning to turn the tables on her.

As for why he didn't tell me the specifics, it must be because I betrayed him.

Thinking about it that way, it made sense, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, I understand."

Meng Tianshi didn't say anything more, but after thinking for a moment, she still asked a question with some unease.

"Is that all? No further instructions?"

Jiang Chen responded calmly.

"Let's leave it at that for now and hold off. I'll contact you when the time comes, so you don't need to worry about it."

"However, let me make this clear first: you've already lied to me once."

"I don't care if you lie to me a second time, but if you don't do what I say, believe me, you'll be in big trouble."

Meng Tianshi firmly believed this; Jiang Chen was indeed qualified and capable of saying such a thing.

At the same time, she also understood that it would be extremely difficult for her to get any more benefits from Jiang Chen in the future.

But for her, as long as she can recover the current losses and break free from the control of the Dead Land, everything is within acceptable limits.

"Don't worry, I will do as you say, I will listen to everything you say."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. "There's basically nothing to worry about."

Just as Meng Tianshi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, Jiang Chen called her back.

"Close the door first."

Meng Tianshi was taken aback. These sudden words left her somewhat bewildered, but she still did as she was told.

"come here."

Jiang Chen said slowly.

Meng Tianshi had no idea what Jiang Chen was up to, so she could only follow his instructions and approach.

But she quickly understood Jiang Chen's intention.

Jiang Chen gently stroked her delicate palm. Meng Tianshi's body trembled slightly, and she felt a little flustered, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface.

"As my woman, she betrays me, which disappoints me greatly."

"Kneel down. I'm a bit tired these days. You should know what to do."

Meng Tianshi was shocked, never expecting that Jiang Chen had such a fetish and even wanted to do it here.

If this gets discovered, it will be terrible.

"This...this place isn't really suitable."

Meng Tianshi dared not refuse Jiang Chen's request. No matter what, even though she had betrayed him, she was still Jiang Chen's woman in name only.

It's really quite daring to do that in a place like this.

“You don’t have the right to choose the location. Of course, you can refuse. I personally have no objection. I don’t like to force people.”

Jiang Chen suddenly smiled faintly.

Meng Tianshi fell silent and slowly knelt down in the Meng family's council hall.

……

Jiang Chen felt incredibly frustrated. The Southeast Prefecture was originally in a very promising situation, but because of this woman, he had lost so many brothers. Although he himself didn't care much and didn't feel any sense of belonging to that place, he simply wanted to develop it.

But regardless, the frustration in his heart was real.

Therefore, this time, he showed no mercy to the woman and acted extremely roughly.

In the end, Meng Tianshi slumped in her chair, unable to move, looking utterly hopeless.

Jiang Chen had already straightened his clothes, his expression remaining completely unchanged.

"Remember the task I gave you."

"If anything goes wrong, your life won't be enough to pay for it!"

Only after confirming that Jiang Chen had left did Meng Tianshi struggle to get up and dress. She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the rest of her family was gone, and then sat in her chair for a long time to recover.

"What a rude man. Men are all big pigs. He yelled at me like that after we were done. Honestly."

Meng Tianshi couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.

But for some reason, she actually liked this feeling.

Regardless, that man was really domineering, and the sense of security he gave was indescribable.

It's a feeling that makes you feel at ease at all times.

At that moment, Jiang Chen paused outside the Meng family's gate.

His expression shifted slightly; he had already heard what the other person said.

This woman still dares to be arrogant? It seems she hasn't been disciplined enough.

That's right, Jiang Chen did indeed tamper with her, but Meng Tianshi had no way of knowing when he did it.

This woman is crucial to eliminating the Dead Land and eradicating future threats.

In addition, Jiang Chen did not trust her, but she was the best candidate.

So he came to the Meng family.

Let her experience the consequences of betraying her.

Jiang Chen no longer cared about this woman as much as before.

Betrayal is either zero times or countless times.

He would never treat Meng Tianshi the way he used to.

"Now, all we need to do is wait quietly for news," Jiang Chen sighed softly.

With Jia Leijie and Ye Linglong in charge in Southeast Prefecture, Jiang Chen felt very at ease.

Although neither of them understood his intentions, Jiang Chen had no intention of explaining further.

They only need to focus on defending against the enemy.

At present, although the people of the Desolate Land are powerful and have the potential to annex the entire Southeast Province, the advantage still lies with Jiang Chen. The people of the Desolate Land do not dare to rashly occupy the Southeast Province.

They could only proceed cautiously, slowly testing Jiang Chen's bottom line, which is now clear.

It seems that there won't be any major developments in the Dead Lands anytime soon.

Localized, small-scale conflicts are inevitable.

Jia Leijie and his team are capable of handling this.

Large-scale troop operations are unlikely to break out again in the short term.

After all, the other party knew that if they really angered Jiang Chen, he wouldn't care about anything else and would directly mobilize troops from the Space City, making them no match for him.

At this moment, both sides are still making preparations in secret.

Jiang Chen felt that returning to Southeast Prefecture at this time would not be of much use, as it would not be of any help and would be a pure waste of time.

Jiang Chen thought it was a good decision to hand over this time to Jia Leijie and Ye Linglong.

This is a rare moment of leisure.

Jiang Chen also planned to take a good rest in the country for a while and wait for Meng Tianshi's actions.

Let's see what the Desolate Lands do next before making any further plans.

In short, Jiang Chen's attitude was very clear.

This time, we must completely eradicate this desolate land.

Restoring peace to the world is of paramount importance.

As for the rest, let fate decide. Jiang Chen has already made all the necessary arrangements.

"It will be quite difficult for me to live a peaceful life in China for a while with this face." Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, hesitated, and finally decided to disguise himself first.

Otherwise, daily life would certainly be greatly disrupted. (End of Chapter)
