The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

After considering these aspects, Yang Xia nodded with certainty, feeling that his conjecture was completely correct and there was no better explanation.

"It seems we must find this traitor, otherwise the poisoning will never end."

But he is currently unable to return to Yan, and this matter is urgent.

Yang Xia then decided to call General Meng Yu and tell him to investigate the mole as soon as possible.

If the mole can be found out in a short time, the poisoning incident can be stopped.

Yang Xia immediately picked up the phone and dialed General Meng Yu's number.

After the call connected, Yang Xia heard a lot of noise coming from the other end. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and his heart skipped a beat.

The recent events have been so numerous that they have all caught them somewhat off guard.

Yang Xia silently prayed that nothing new would happen.

"General Meng Yu, it sounds unusually noisy over there. Is something wrong?"

Despite his deep concern, Yang Xia quickly inquired about the matter, as it was extremely important to him.

"Your Majesty, I was just about to call you when a new plague suddenly appeared on the island."

“People infected with this plague will have sores all over their bodies, which looks particularly terrifying. People are naturally terrified. I am trying to deal with it, but I don’t know where to start.”

Meng Yu nervously informed Yang Xia of the new situation. Yang Xia was astonished, his mouth agape. This was exactly what he feared; a new problem had indeed arisen on the island.

How many people are currently infected with this plague?

Yang Xia then inquired about the specific situation, wanting to see if it was still under control.

"Your Majesty, this plague is extremely contagious. More than a thousand people have been infected in just one day."

Meng Yu was in a panic. He had never seen such a rampant plague before, which naturally made them extremely fearful and uneasy.

Upon hearing Meng Yu's words, Yang Xia felt a chill run down his spine.

Before the poisoning problem of the Great Zhou Dynasty could be resolved, a terrible plague suddenly broke out.

From what Meng Yu just described, the situation is extremely serious and seems to have reached a point where it is out of control.

He was currently far away in Yan Kingdom and could not return. If he lost control of the situation, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty would be destroyed.

Yang Xia became increasingly frightened, wishing he could sprout wings and fly back immediately to check on the situation.

While the call was still connected, Yang Xia could hear people reporting the situation to Meng Yu on the other end of the line.

"General Meng Yu, many more people have contracted the plague, and the situation is out of control."

"General Meng Yu, what should we do now? The people are unable to live a normal life, and the scene on the streets is too terrible to bear."

His subordinates kept reporting to Meng Yu, urging him to make a decision quickly.

Faced with such a serious problem, Meng Yu was completely dumbfounded and had no idea how to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, did you hear that? The situation is out of control. What should we do?"

Feeling utterly helpless, Meng Yu turned to Yang Xia for help.

They all did not want to watch the Great Zhou Dynasty be destroyed like this, and for the people to suffer unbearable pain.

No wonder it was so noisy on the other end of the phone. Only then did Yang Xia fully grasp the situation on the other end, which was really dangerous.

Yang Xia had never imagined that the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in such a dire situation.

Before the poisoning incident could be resolved, a new plague has already struck with great force.

He was extremely worried, but even more so, he was furious. There was no doubt that this matter was inextricably linked to the Nebula Kingdom.

Presumably, the previous poisoning incident failed to exert enough pressure, so the Nebula Kingdom is now escalating the situation.

However, there was nothing that could be done, as the Nebula Kingdom had already attacked the Great Zhou Dynasty, and serious consequences had already occurred.

"General Meng Yu, go and fetch the water from the All-Powerful Spirit Spring immediately, give it to the people infected with the plague, and then see how it goes."

There was really no other way at this moment, and we could only place our hopes on the all-powerful spring.

Yang Xia felt that the All-Powerful Spring was now at an intermediate level, and even if it couldn't completely solve the problem, it would certainly be of some benefit to the people.

We can only pin our hopes on the all-powerful spring; we really can't think of any other way.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will go and fetch the water from the All-Powerful Spring immediately."

Knowing that the matter was extremely urgent, Meng Yu quickly hung up the phone and went to try it.

Those who had been poisoned earlier did indeed experience relief after drinking the all-powerful spring water, and at least their lives were no longer in danger.

Hopefully, this epidemic can also be temporarily alleviated in this way.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xia felt that he should communicate with Sun Zhengming first to completely clear up the misunderstanding between them. Only in this way could the next step of the plan be carried out.

If even the two of them are so suspicious and distrustful of each other, it will be even more difficult to get things done, and the people of Xingyun Kingdom might take advantage of the situation.

After considering these issues, Yang Xia felt that no matter what method he had to use, he had to explain things clearly to Sun Zhengming, because only through their sincere cooperation could they overcome the difficulties together.

The call finally connected, and Yang Xia couldn't wait to extend an invitation to Sun Zhengming.

"Brother Sun, how about we meet at the coffee shop later and have a chat?"

Yang Xia wanted to talk to Sun Zhengming face-to-face to completely clear up the misunderstanding between them.

"I'm sorry, I've been very busy with work lately and haven't had time to meet with you."

To Yang Xia's surprise, Sun Zhengming, who always listened to him, refused to meet with him.

"Alright then, we should definitely have a good talk when we have time. I have a lot to say to you."

Although Yang Xia felt somewhat sad, he was unwilling to force anyone to do anything.

Let's talk about it later.

Sun Zhengming maintained this indifferent attitude throughout, and then hung up the phone directly.

Yang Xia was speechless. He hadn't expected that his relationship with Sun Zhengming would become so strained at this crucial moment.

It's clear that the other party is doubting themselves, and further cooperation is probably out of the question.

Thinking about the severe challenges facing the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yang Xia felt even more troubled, but he couldn't think of a better way to solve the problem for the time being.

Now all he could do was wait for the woman to reply, wondering if she had actually relayed those words to Mike.

Things seem to be going against Yang Xia right now; nothing is going particularly well.

He reluctantly took a hot shower, but couldn't fall asleep after lying in bed. A mountain of things weighed on his mind, and he had no way to solve them.

I don't know how much time passed before I finally fell asleep and slept soundly until dawn.

During this period, Yang Xia felt physically and mentally exhausted, and slept very soundly.

I groggily opened my eyes and saw that it was already broad daylight. I could vaguely hear my phone ringing.

After casually touching the phone on the table, I found that there were more than a dozen missed calls. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the caller was Mike.

"Oh my god, I was sleeping so soundly that I didn't hear any of the many phone calls I made."

"What's Mike calling for? Has he agreed to cooperate with me?"

Yang Xia's mind was still hazy. He rubbed his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up as soon as possible. He had tossed and turned all night and didn't know when he finally fell asleep. This time, he slept very soundly and felt extremely tired.

He has never been in such a state before, and he is indeed quite exhausted during this period.

Just after Yang Xia regained consciousness, the phone rang again, and he quickly answered it.

"Yang Xia, I've called you so many times, why didn't you answer? Is there a problem?"

"Or rather, what you said before is no longer valid."

Mike sounded impatient on the phone, and he didn't understand why no one would answer his calls.

If the other party has changed their mind, then the contents of their previous negotiations are naturally invalid.

Mike still very much hopes to cooperate with Yang Xia.

"Oh, I was sleeping so soundly, I didn't hear a thing."...

Yang Xia gave a brief explanation to the other party and then asked why Mike had made the call.

"What brings you here? What are your thoughts on the collaboration?"

Yang Xia and Mike didn't have much else to talk about; their main topic was cooperation.

“Of course I want to cooperate with you, but your demands are somewhat unrealistic. I can’t give you so many antidotes at once.”

"We can only provide medication for temporary treatment and control; the aspect you mentioned is impossible to achieve."

Mike was eager to cooperate with Yang Xia, but he was unwilling to provide the antidote all at once.

He knew that once the crisis of the Great Zhou Dynasty was resolved, Yang Xia would be out of control.

They had a sense of awe towards Yang Xia, knowing that he was no ordinary person and that they would normally have no way to control him.

"You despicable and shameless scoundrel, all your talk is in vain. What I want is the complete antidote."

Yang Xia originally planned to use the guise of cooperation to obtain the antidote first, in order to relieve the suffering of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so cunning, wanting to keep him under control and perhaps obtain a solution only after dividing up the land of Yan.

At that time, I will truly find myself in an unjust and immoral situation.

Yang Xia never intended to betray the Yan Kingdom; he only wanted to obtain the antidote through this method.

Mike was much more cunning than Yang Xia had imagined, which naturally infuriated Yang Xia, who then launched into a tirade of curses.

"Yang Xia, why are you so agitated? Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to get the antidote. Nobody's a fool, right?"

Mike laughed triumphantly; of course, he wouldn't be easily manipulated.

"If you have no intention of cooperating sincerely, how can our cooperation continue?"

Yang Xia felt extremely angry, but he still wanted to get the antidote from the other party.

"I didn't say I wouldn't give you the antidote, but I can't give it all at once. When our cooperation is going very well, these won't be problems."

Mike gritted his teeth and refused to change his approach, fearing he would lose control of Yang Xia.

"Furthermore, a new plague has suddenly appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Yang Xia then questioned the matter of the plague, and the actions of the Nebula Kingdom had indeed angered him greatly.

"We know nothing about the plague; it has nothing to do with our Nebula Kingdom."

When Yang Xia asked about the plague, Mike quickly denied it.

Clearly, the other party was playing dumb and refused to offer Yang Xia any help.

Since he was forced to do something for them before they would give him a certain antidote, Yang Xia decided not to hide his purpose and would never serve such people.

"Your Nebula Kingdom is so despicable and shameless, cooperation is even more impossible. You have no sincerity whatsoever and are simply wasting my time."

Yang Xia angrily hung up the phone, not wanting to get entangled with that kind of person anymore.

Seeing that no problem can be solved, it's better to think of another way.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Xia wondered who would come looking for him at this moment.

At this critical moment, he also began to become sensitive.

Upon opening the door, they were surprised to find Sun Zhengming standing outside.

"Brother Sun, please come in."

Upon meeting Sun Zhengming, Yang Xia warmly ushered him into the room.

I had wanted to have a sincere talk with the other party beforehand, but I was unexpectedly rejected.

At this moment, Sun Zhengming actually came to his door himself. Yang Xia felt that their relationship might be restored soon, and he was naturally very excited.

Sun Zhengming's behavior was very strange; he had a bitter expression on his face and remained silent after entering.

"Brother Sun, do you really doubt me? How could I possibly cooperate with the Nebula Kingdom?"

"We've been working together for so long, don't we even have this basic trust? How can I guarantee you'll trust me?"

Yang Xia bombarded Sun Zhengming with a series of questions, hoping to have a proper conversation with him, but the other party remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that Sun Zhengming still maintained this attitude, Yang Xia felt a chill in his heart.

“Brother Sun, it seems you have lost your trust in me, so there is no point in me staying in Yan.”

"In that case, I'll pack my things and head back to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Yang Xia was utterly disappointed after seeing Sun Zhengming's attitude.

He didn't want to linger here any longer. The Great Zhou Dynasty needed him to return and take charge of the situation, which was in complete chaos.

Having made up his mind, Yang Xia began packing his things, intending to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty to resolve its internal problems first.

Seeing that Yang Xia was truly enraged, Sun Zhengming sighed and quickly pulled him back, deciding to tell him the whole truth.

"Yang Xia, please let me explain. There are some things I can't make the decision on, but I still trust you completely."

Sun Zhengming decided to tell the king about the matter to avoid any misunderstanding between the two.

To be honest, Sun Zhengming was also very upset, not wanting things to have come to this point with Yang Xia.

Having worked together for so long, he knew Yang Xia's character very well and was eager to collaborate with him again.

“I remember the day you walked out of the abandoned factory, I felt a little puzzled, and even guessed that your relationship with the Nebula Kingdom was not simple.”

"For anyone else, that would be like trespassing into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. How could they possibly escape unscathed?"

Sun Zhengming finally recounted what happened that day. Yang Xia nodded thoughtfully, as he had actually anticipated this.

"Brother Sun, don't you even believe me? How could I possibly collude with the Nebula Kingdom? That idea is too outrageous."

When Yang Xia saw that Sun Zhengming had indeed voiced his suspicions about him, he shook his head helplessly. He had thought that the trust between the two of them was unbreakable, but now it seemed that it was not so.

"That's what I thought too, but this matter is of great importance, so I have to report these details to the king."

"That's precisely why my attitude towards you has changed." (End of Chapter)
