#638 - Chapter 638 Military Affairs Section

Sun Zhuo's lack of cooperation was, in a way, what saved his life. Otherwise, once Dongfang Chen discovered the truth, he would surely be done for.

Their actions were driven by their own selfish motives.

With Modo Greatly breached, the cult leader had become a lone figure.

His only remaining value was the title of 'Cult Leader' that he still held.

Gu Qingyi wanted to use this title to solidify her own position.

Sun Zhuo was no different, harboring similar ambitions.

February 25, 2057, 10:00 AM.

Shuchuan Province, Yun City, Southwest Military Region Headquarters.

Currently, the main force of the Southwest Military Region was stationed at the Mosang Ark Base.

Only the directly subordinate Special Forces Regiment was on duty at the headquarters.

On this day, some strangers arrived at the headquarters.

"Hello, Military Administration Department, Military Affairs Section, Colonel Ding Honghua. Here is my identification."

The soldier at the gate saluted and took the documents for verification.

"Reporting, sir, the Commander is not here."

"I know, we are here for other matters this time," Ding Honghua said.

"Sir, I apologize. The headquarters' communication is currently down, and I cannot let you in without authorization," the soldier refused to allow them entry.

"Is Cao Kegong here? I'm looking for him."

"Please wait a moment, I'll report your arrival."

The soldier saluted and entered the guardhouse to dial the internal line.

Five minutes later.

"Please come in." After receiving authorization, the soldier allowed them to enter.

Cao Kegong was the commander of the directly subordinate Special Forces Regiment of the headquarters and was currently responsible for the security of the headquarters. He currently held the highest authority within the headquarters.

"Old Ding, what brings you here?" Cao Kegong was very polite.

The two men sat down in the regimental commander's office.

"Now all the military regions and military sub-districts have lost contact. I'm ordered to come and verify the situation," Ding Honghua replied.

He appeared serious and unsmiling.

"That's good. Did you bring any technicians? Quickly fix the fault. Every day of delay is another day of risk," Cao Kegong nodded.

He assumed Ding Honghua had come to repair the equipment.

After the Huatong Chamber of Commerce's business was split up, the military's communication system was taken over by the Military Administration Department.

"You've misunderstood. We are investigators, not repairmen," Ding Honghua corrected.

"Not here for repairs? Then what are you here for?" Cao Kegong sensed a hint of ambition.

"Where is Rong Po? Isn't he here?" Ding Honghua didn't answer his question.

Cao Kegong frowned.

"Colonel Ding Honghua, please state your purpose, or I will have to ask you to leave."

"I am acting on the orders of the council to conduct a review of the garrison here. The purpose is to eliminate spies hidden within the military ranks," Ding Honghua replied.

"Isn't this against the rules? Does Commander Yan know about this?"

"This is a top-secret mission, directly executed by the Military Administration Department," Ding Honghua replied.

"Old Ding, this matter is of great importance. I can't just listen to your side of the story. How about we wait for Commander Yan to return before discussing this?" Cao Kegong refused.

Investigating spies could easily lead to deaths. How could it be done on a whim?

"Cao Kegong, I think you haven't understood the situation. This isn't a discussion, but a notification. I can clearly tell you that your name is also on the review list," Ding Honghua threatened with narrowed eyes.

"Bang!" A sound of slapping the table.

"Damn it! Who are you calling a spy?" Cao Kegong was furious.

He had served in the army for more than ten years, always working diligently. How could he be smeared by such a villain?

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

Ding Honghua suddenly attacked, and Cao Kegong was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

The desk shattered upon impact.

"You... are a mutant?" Cao Kegong endured the severe pain and pointed at him, speaking with difficulty.

"Tell me, where is Rong Po?" Ding Honghua teleported in front of him and asked coldly.

"You... are the spy!" Cao Kegong understood.

The Military Administration Department wouldn't use violent methods.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, and a group of soldiers with live ammunition rushed in.

"They are spies, take them all down!" Cao Kegong ordered.

"Don't move! We are from the Military Affairs Section. Cao Kegong is suspected of being a cult spy and refuses to cooperate with the investigation. Anyone who dares to step forward will be regarded as a cult member!" Ding Honghua shouted.

The soldiers exchanged glances, still pulling back the bolts of their rifles.

Believe a stranger over their own regimental commander?

How could that be possible?

"Whoosh!"

Before they could pull the trigger, all the guns in their hands flew away and fell to the ground.

The speed was too fast, and no one understood what had happened.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Ah ah ah!"

While they were still stunned, they were all knocked down.

"Tell me, where is Rong Po?" Ding Honghua leaned closer to Cao Kegong, his tone even colder.

"Dream on! I will never tell you!" Cao Kegong replied fiercely.

"Then you shall die!"

"Crack!" The sound of bones breaking.

Cao Kegong's chest was crushed by a kick, and he died instantly.
