But the current situation is not what was planned!

After all, Jiang Lihua is currently inside, and for both professional and personal reasons, Jiang Zhong cannot allow her to suffer any harm. Especially given the current uncertain situation, if the Britannian side truly intends to harm Jiang Lihua, and everything before was just a ruse, then Jiang Zhong's first priority now is to ensure Jiang Lihua's safety.

Otherwise, if anything were to happen to Jiang Lihua, the Chinese Empire would inevitably face chaos.

Jiang Lihua absolutely cannot be harmed in any way, but now, the remnants in this dilapidated factory are specifically asking to see Mo Mo by name, and not anyone else.

This means that Momo will soon be going in alone to confront the person in charge of this incident.

This was also an opportunity in Jiang Zhong's eyes. In order to control the situation, Jiang Zhong did not mind temporarily setting aside his prejudice against Mo Mo, and could even allow the two of them to work together to ensure Jiang Lihua's safety first.

The two of them could easily agree on some plans, set some codes, and come up with some methods to get Mo Mo to contribute as much as possible, so that Jiang Zhong could be more confident in ensuring Jiang Lihua's safety.

Jiang Zhong thought so too, and he originally planned to do the same. But now, Mo Mo suddenly left him, left his side, and went straight to the lair of the remnants and terrorists.

What happened to making a plan in advance?

Okay, Jiang Zhong didn't remember being hit by Mo Mo's Geass and whispering in Mo Mo's ear for five minutes. So, in Jiang Zhong's view, Mo Mo had practically arrived on the battlefield and was about to charge in head-on into battle all by himself.

What is this going to do?

This is clearly a case of "GG" being called amidst laughter and cheers!

Who will be responsible for Jiang Lihua's safety? Should we just leave it to Mo Mo, this guy who went straight into the villain's camp without any preparation?

Jiang Zhong wanted to stop Mo Mo and have another heart-to-heart talk with him, but Mo Mo had no interest in continuing to talk to someone like Jiang Zhong.

The two of them had been whispering to each other for five minutes. Didn't they see that the faces of the group of remnants holding submachine guns on the other side had changed when they looked at Mo Mo and Jiang Zhong?

He spent five minutes planning in front of them. What kind of profound plan was he devising?

Therefore, Mo Mo nimbly dodged Jiang Zhong's large hand. With a single step, Mo Mo jumped into the middle of a group of remnants, startling them so much that they immediately raised their guns, and several submachine guns were instantly pointed at Mo Mo's head.

Faced with this scene, Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Jiang, leave the rest to me. I will bring my student and my fiancée back safe and sound."

As she spoke, Mo Mo confidently gave Jiang Zhong a thumbs-up, her teeth seemingly gleaming.

Seeing Mo Mo's confident expression, Jiang Zhong's expression almost froze. Before you can make me believe you, first figure out how to get rid of all those gun barrels above your head, okay?

Honestly, seeing so many gun barrels made Jiang Zhong tremble with fear!

"Mo Mo!"

Helpless, Jiang Zhong could only turn his frustration into anger, shouting, "You're always like this! How can I trust you with your current carefree attitude!"

I don't trust you!

Faced with Jiang Zhong's bluntness, Mo Mo was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I've also discovered what we have in common. Coincidentally, I don't trust you either, and I don't trust any of you."

After saying that, Mo Mo waved his hand, and then, under Jiang Zhong's dazed gaze, he was led into the factory by the remaining party members who had just calmed down and put their guns away.

As for Jiang Zhong, he was still thinking about what Mo Mo had just said.

Jiang Zhong wasn't surprised that Mo Mo didn't trust him, but who exactly was Mo Mo referring to when she said "you guys"?

Mo Mo really entered the factory all by himself without making any preparations. What was he relying on? Where did his confidence come from? All of this made Jiang Zhong unable to understand, and Jiang Zhong became increasingly confused about what would happen next.

Now, Jiang Zhong finally understands the helplessness of the old emperor.

With such a capable minister as Mo Mo by his side, if Mo Mo had been more obedient, the emperor probably wouldn't have been so worried. He might even have married Jiang Lihua to Mo Mo without hesitation and then just waited for his own end.

After all, his two last concerns in life, the Jiang family's dynasty and his beloved daughter, would be safe and sound as long as Mo Mo protected them. In that case, the old emperor would naturally have nothing to worry about.

Unfortunately, Momo never truly obeyed; she was always shrouded in a mysterious mist, making her unclear and incomprehensible.

Such mystery is essentially equated with ulterior motives and distrust in the eyes of those in power.

Why can't Momo just listen to me?

If Mo Mo had just listened, none of this would have happened. What is Mo Mo insisting on?

Jiang Zhong doesn't understand. He didn't understand five years ago, he doesn't understand now, and he probably never will.

As he watched Mo Mo's retreating figure, he sensed that the development of events was probably completely beyond his control.

……

In fact, things not only exceeded Jiang Zhong's expectations and control, but the current development of events also surprised Mo Mo.

There was a person standing in front of Mo Mo.

Although there were a few remnants standing around Momo, he didn't care much. After all, the person who would be facing Momo was Mao, the person in charge sent by Britannia. As for these remnants around him, it would be very easy for Momo to deal with them.

But now, the person standing in front of Mo Mo really surprised her.

Who is she?

With her wine-red hair and a thin braid tied behind her left ear, she blended Eastern and Western styles. Although her style was somewhat unconventional, it was enough to express her will.

This person is Karen.

Karen's eyes were horribly red, with what looked like tear stains at the corners. It was unclear what had just happened to her, but she looked utterly despondent, her helpless and cold eyes almost devoid of any light.

And now, those eyes are staring straight at Mo Mo.

This wasn't what surprised Mo Mo the most. What surprised Mo Mo the most was that Karen was completely alone with no one else around her, and there was nothing on her body to restrict her movements. In short, Karen was currently a free person.

In the remnant's stronghold, Karen had inexplicably become a zombie-like figure, and seemed to have become part of the remnant, no longer needing anyone to guard her. In fact, Karen had even begun to carry out some people's orders.

"Put his hands up."

Karen spoke at this moment, her voice terribly hoarse, as if she had experienced a heart-wrenching cry and her throat had become distorted due to fatigue.

Upon hearing Karen's words, the remaining members hesitated at first, but they still obeyed Karen's orders. Two of them grabbed Momo's arms from the left and right, forcing Momo to raise his hands high, looking like he was at their mercy.

"Hey, Karen, what happened?"

Momo tried his best to keep his voice calm, but Karen did not answer Momo's question. Instead, she reached out and touched Momo's chest, abdomen, and even went down to his ankles.

"Ahem, Karen, although we're officially engaged, we're currently in the enemy's stronghold. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to be so intimate like this?"

"Although I still find it quite exciting."

Mo Mo's words, however, earned him a silent gaze from Karen, whose pale sky-blue eyes stared directly at Mo Mo, as if trying to imprint Mo Mo's face in her heart.

However, what was etched into Karen's heart was not love for Momo...

...but hatred.

"Karen..."

Momo wanted to say something, but Karen punched him hard in the abdomen. The fierce attack made Momo, a man whose body was close to the limits of human strength, feel a sudden blackout, and a sharp pain churning in his chest and abdomen.

Tsk... Kallen's power is indeed not at the level of an ordinary person.

This is Mo Mo's current thought.

"Don't talk to me, it's disgusting."

"Also, stay away from me... otherwise, I might... be unable to resist killing you."

Karen's voice was icy, but without the slightest hesitation. She then turned and walked into the factory, saying, "He wasn't carrying anything suspicious. I've already searched him. You can continue searching if you don't believe me."

“Hey, cough cough,” Momo spat out a mouthful of sour water and said, “If we’re going to search again, I’d prefer to have Karen do it. Otherwise, I’ll be traumatized if a man touches me.”

The people in front of Karen looked at Mo Mo with a hint of disdain, as if to say, "So this is the kind of person our enemy is, the kind who can't walk past a woman."

Immediately, their faces revealed malicious expressions, seemingly out of pity for Mo Mo's pain at being betrayed by his woman.

"Just take him in. Lord Mao trusts you, so your words are Lord Mao's orders."

187 This development is beyond my comprehension!

Since no one stopped her, Karen walked directly into the factory. The two muscular men beside Momo, seemingly worried that Momo had lost his strength due to the heavy blow, actually lifted him up and dragged him forward.

Mo Mo was too lazy to care about her current state. Since someone was carrying her, Mo Mo was too lazy to move on her own.

At the same time, Momo could also use this time to carefully recall everything that had just happened to Karen and think about what exactly had happened.

Soon, Momo also entered the factory.

The empty factory building was devoid of any machinery. The most conspicuous feature was the surrounding area, where several fully armed men with guns cautiously peered out through the windows, seemingly ready to engage in battle with the army outside at any moment.

Their faces didn't show much fear, but rather a resolute hatred burning within them. Clearly, this was a group of people living in hatred, tormented by hatred, and now willing to give their lives to resolve all hatred.

Driven by revenge, they would obviously do anything, regardless of life or death, and without regard for anything else.

Besides that, there's the factory building itself. One-meter-square pillars support a four- or five-meter-high roof, and the entire factory covers an area of ​​several hundred square meters, indicating that it used to be quite large.

However, the most conspicuous people were naturally the people inside the factory. Looking around, the first thing Mo Mo saw was Jiang Lihua, curled up on a wooden chair not far away.

Her expression was somewhat similar to Karen's. Jiang Lihua's skin was originally very fair, but now it looked sickly pale.

Not only that, but tears were still falling from her eyes, streaks of tears streaming down her cheeks, gathering on her chin, and dripping onto the knees she was hugging.

Clearly, she had also encountered something that broke her heart, something that nearly destroyed her hope, causing Jiang Lihua, who had become very different from the original character under Mo Mo's tutelage, to instantly revert to the Jiang Lihua from the original story.

The Jiang Lihua in the original work is just like the Jiang Lihua now, lonely and helpless, with no one to rely on. She is clearly a weak girl with frail shoulders who cannot withstand any strength, yet she is expected by others to save the Chinese Empire and the Chinese Federation.

This was a responsibility that Jiang Lihua was not capable of shouldering. Yet, faced with such a heavy burden, Jiang Lihua had no hope at all. All she could do was hug her own legs, curl up into a ball, and try to recall the warmth of the past. Only in this way could she continue to bravely face tomorrow.

Mo Mo appeared, and Jiang Lihua naturally saw him as well. Upon seeing Mo Mo, Jiang Lihua's pupils contracted, and she seemed to be terrified. Her whole body began to tremble, and she subconsciously lowered her head, pretending not to see Mo Mo.

Mo Mo naturally observed Jiang Lihua's performance, and it was truly... incomprehensible.

Mo Mo couldn't understand it, but someone was there to explain it to him.

"You still have the nerve to look?"

The one speaking was, of course, Karen.

Karen's face was a mixture of anger, mockery, pain, self-blame, and other emotions. All of these emotions combined to manifest in her hatred for Momo, a hatred that seemed to come from the depths of her heart.

"Can't I see it? I'm just concerned about what happened to my students."

Upon hearing Mo Mo utter the word "student," Jiang Lihua, who was in the distance, raised her head again. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face, as if she had completely given up hope. Her beautiful red pupils gradually became empty, losing their usual luster.

"You scum!"

Karen naturally noticed Jiang Lihua's expression. On one side were Jiang Lihua's almost desperate tears, while on the other side was Mo Mo's innocent expression, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

With such an expression, Karen couldn't help but be angry.

Enraged, Karen struck again, this time even more mercilessly. Using her right foot as a support, Karen unleashed a whirlwind kick with her left leg, aiming straight for Momo's head, specifically his temple.

The kick was so fast and powerful that it created a raging gust of wind. The loud gust caused the two burly men holding Mo Mo to instinctively drop him and crouch down to defend themselves.
