Chapter 344

"Hello, Uncle Qi!" Ye Xiao called politely.

"Ahem, Dad, Uncle Wu, let's talk business!" Qi Tianwu hurried out to interrupt.

She didn't want her father to talk any more, otherwise she would be killed in public.

"Yes! Old Qi, why are you so excited? Xiao Ye is my son-in-law." Wu Zhiyuan said secretly, with obvious provocation.

Last time, he and Ye Xiao had talked about marriage, which, in his opinion, was already far ahead of the Qi family.

Qi Zhenhai turned around and stared at his former friend fiercely, "Old Wu, we haven't even started yet! Don't make up a name for yourself."

"Uncle Qi, let's talk business first!" Seeing that the gunpowder smell between the two was getting stronger and stronger, Wu Chuan hurried out to smooth things over.

At this moment, he felt sour in his heart. He really didn't know why these two people had chosen Ye Xiao.

Isn't Ye Xiao just a bit better at fighting? Is he a bit more handsome?

Is it really worth it for the two of them to give up their decades of friendship and fight to marry their daughter to him?

Qi Zhenhai snorted coldly, and then reluctantly led Ye Xiao to sit down.

Then Qi Tianwu began to talk about the results they had achieved in the past two days in cooperation with the Beijing War Department.

Based on the evidence in hand, the War Department launched a thunderous attack to uproot the entire Mu family's power. The process went very smoothly, and all the big and small people of the Mu family in the government and the War Department were arrested.

And the major criminals such as Mu Tianlang who committed serious crimes were directly sentenced to death.

Ye Xiao felt that it was boring to listen to this. If it was just a summary of the results, there was no need to call him over! He was not a member of the War Department for the time being, just a friendly help, wouldn't it be enough to make a phone call to tell him these?

Just after Qi Tianwu finished talking about the results of the battle, Wu Zhiyuan took over and said, "Xiao Ye, Tianwu, Chu Nan, you did a great job this time, and the high-level war department has already commended you."

"Tianwu, you will be promoted from Lingzhou Army Chief to Tianhai Governor, and Chu Nan, you will also be promoted from Yingyang to Huben. As for your commendation, Xiao Ye, I don't know yet, and it will be presented to you by Jiangnan Army Marquis Sun Hongzheng in person."

Hearing Wu Zhiyuan's words, Ye Xiao didn't react much, because he had already learned what reward the War Department would give him during his last call with the two old men.

To be honest, he didn't want it.

But Qi Tianwu and Wu Chu Nan were greatly shocked. What kind of commendation needed to be personally awarded by Jiangnan Army Marquis? They had never had such an honor!

"Xiao Wu, Chu Nan, come down and get ready. The high-level war department decided to let you two go to Tianhai to take up your posts together." At this time, Qi Zhenhai continued Wu Zhiyuan's words.

"And Xiaoye, your award will also be given in Tianhai."

Let all three go to Tianhai? Qi Tianwu and Wu Chu'nan instantly thought of something.

"Dad, Uncle Qi, is this mission not yet completed?" Wu Chu'nan asked with a serious expression, a question he and Qi Tianwu had in common.

Logically speaking, Mu Tianlang has been arrested and the Mu family has fallen, so they should have successfully completed the mission!

He could understand Qi Tianwu going to Tianhai City, but why didn't he return to the capital to report, but also went to Tianhai City?

And Qi Zhenhai mentioned Ye Xiao alone, which should be a hidden meaning.

Qi Zhenhai nodded, his expression became serious, "This time the liquidation of the Mu family went very smoothly. We suspect that some people are sacrificing the car to save the master, and they intend to push the Mu family out to take the blame."

"You also know that the Mu family has been operating in the capital for decades, and the tree is deep-rooted, but the Mu family did not put up a decent resistance, and they were all caught. This is not in line with common sense."

"Furthermore, the three words Mu Yishan that Cheng Yonglong said before committing suicide, the Mu of the Mu family only confirmed one of them, so you have only achieved a phased victory now. This trip to Tianhai is to verify whether the Yi family of Tianhai is also one of them."

Ye Xiao also had some impression of the three words Mu Yishan. Qi Tianwu told him at the beginning that this might represent three forces, but what does it have to do with him?

He was able to help the War Department deal with the Mu family simply because of the conditions proposed by Qi Tianwu. As for the remaining two families, he didn't have the heart to help.

But now Ye Xiao also had a hard time, because he remembered that the second old man had given him a military rank before. I'm afraid that at that time, the second old man had already dug a trap for him to jump into!

I knew that the old man was very cunning!

Next, the few people discussed some specific matters, and Ye Xiao didn't want to listen to a word.

How could he be happy when he couldn't complain after being plotted against.

"Let's stop here today! Old Wu Chu Nan, come out for a while, I have something to tell you." After the meeting, Qi Zhenhai said seriously.He spoke.

His purpose was very simple. The current situation was very unfavorable to him. He had to create more opportunities for Ye Xiao and his daughter to be alone together, perhaps there would be a possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Wu Zhiyuan saw through Qi Zhenhai's little thoughts at a glance. He did not intend to get up at all. Instead, he looked at Qi Zhenhai and said with a fake smile: "Old Qi, Xiao Wu and Xiao Ye are all family members. If you have anything to say, just say it here!"

Qi Zhenhai narrowed his eyes immediately, and had the urge to hit someone. The two had known each other for decades and knew each other's temper very well. He knew that Wu Zhiyuan was really fighting with him.

Just when Qi Zhenhai felt a little powerless, Qi Tianwu spoke, "Uncle Wu, you guys go out first! I have something to tell Ye Xiao."

Hearing this, Qi Zhenhai smiled knowingly. It seemed that his daughter finally got it!

"Why, Wu, you are not leaving yet. Do you want to stay and be a light bulb?" Qi Zhenhai said sarcastically.

Wu Zhiyuan clenched his fists, then stood up with a cold snort. After all, this was still Qi Tianwu's office. If the owner wanted to drive people away, he had no choice.

Just when passing by Ye Xiao, Wu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, come to my house for dinner tonight! Your aunt wants to see you, don't miss it! Otherwise, Yun Xi will be very sad."

Qi Zhenhai dared to play the daughter card, why can't he? And he had to play it more thoroughly.

Whatever he said tonight, he had to make Ye Xiao and his daughter settle the marriage.

What could Ye Xiao say? He could only politely agree, but he was already panicking in his heart.

Well, let's take it one step at a time! If it doesn't work, just show your cards.

Soon, only Qi Tianwu and Ye Xiao were left in the office.

Without the two old foxes around, Ye Xiao felt much more relaxed. He crossed his legs and said calmly, "General Qi, you have to hurry up and fulfill your promise."

Although Ye Xiao's words were very obscure, he knew that Qi Tianwu would definitely understand.

Qi Tianwu did not reply to Ye Xiao in time, but was silent with a lot of thoughts. After a long time, she took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision.

"Ye Xiao, I'm sorry, I thought things were simple at the beginning. I can't do what I promised you."

"Uh!" Ye Xiao was dumbfounded. He remembered that Qi Tianwu was quite confident before, but now, she threw such a sentence to him.

He suspected that he was deceived. It is very likely that Qi Tianwu did not think of helping him to get the Wu family to cancel the engagement from the beginning.

But at that time, he clearly saw that Qi Tianwu did not seem to be lying!
