Chapter 486: Blame Each Other!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

What?!

As if struck by lightning, Qin Yue was instantly dumbfounded!

After a long while, he finally reacted to what Ning Yiyuan had just said. His face immediately lost its color, and his lips trembled as he asked, “What did you say? Lost… lost contact? My grandfather?”

How was this possible?

Putting aside the fact that Elder Qin’s skills were not bad, just the number of guards accompanying him was quite significant. How could something happen to him? How could they lose contact with him?

Qin Yue raised his head in disbelief, hoping that Ning Yiyuan would tell him that it was just a joke. However, when he saw the worry in Ning Yiyuan’s eyes, the only hope in his heart was instantly shattered!

The hand on the table slowly clenched, and the veins on it were about to pop out!

“What… When did this happen?” Qin Yue wiped his face with all his might. When he opened his eyes again, he seemed to have grown a lot in an instant, and his expression became resolute.

“I’m not sure yet.” Ning Yiyuan shook his head, stood up, and patted Qin Yue’s shoulder, comforting him. “Don’t be anxious. Maybe things aren’t as serious as we thought!”

“My family should have received the news.” Qin Yue’s reaction was shockingly fast. “I have to go back and take a look first.”

At the same time, he wanted to understand the situation in detail!

“Okay.” Ning Yiyuan nodded and watched him leave.

As for Mo Yang and Mo Chu, they were stunned.

Although they did not know the exact identity and position of Elder Qin, Mo Chu knew that it was definitely not low!

Even if he could not surpass Elder Ning, he would at least be on equal footing with him. If this was the 21st century, he would at least be a high-ranking member of the central government! It would have to be someone who frequently appeared on television!

Such a big shot actually lost contact? Just thinking about it was terrifying!

As the Commander-in-chief of the military region, Ning Yiyuan’s political sense was even sharper. The moment he saw this news, he knew that the situation was not good!

“Little Chu, I have to go to the headquarters first.” Ning Yiyuan’s footsteps were very fast. He did not even bother to put on his clothes and held them in his hand. Before he left, he did not forget to remind Mo Chu, “Oh right, remember to eat the breakfast on the table.”

Hearing this, Mo Yang could not help but be slightly surprised. He did not expect that Ning Yiyuan could still remember this small matter at such an important juncture. It could be seen that his intentions towards his sister could not be faked…

…

Just as Ning Yiyuan had expected.

It did not take long for the news of ‘Elder Qin losing contact’ to spread.

Of course, the scope of the news was only limited to the upper circles of the Federation. As for the ordinary citizens below, they were still completely unaware of it.

Even so, it had caused the upper echelons of the Federation to be in a terrible state!

After all, they were also clear that Elder Qin’s identity was not ordinary. This matter could not be concealed for long. Since that was the case, they might as well tell it openly.

Of course, once the news was announced, it would definitely cause a small-scale disturbance. This was also within their expectations.

It was only now that they realized that the situation was far more troublesome than they had imagined!

On one hand, they needed to calm the hearts of the people and control the rumors as soon as possible. On the other hand, they also needed to speed up their manpower to find Elder Qin. After all, they could not just ignore such a matter!

Although the former was troublesome, they could do it with more effort. However, the latter was somewhat anxious.

It would definitely take a lot of manpower to find Elder Qin. However, this news could not be spread. The only thing they could rely on was the strength of the army.

However, at this time, those who had military power either kept quiet and kept silent, or pushed it toward each other, refusing to bear the responsibility.

“Elder Chen, aren’t your soldiers near where Elder Qin lost contact? It just so happens that you have an innate geographical advantage. Hurry up and make use of it!”

Upon hearing this, a man sitting in the lower seat immediately waved his hand and repeatedly refused, “That won’t do. The few soldiers that I brought along have been participating in actual combat exercises recently! I can’t spare any time at all. How about this, you get your soldiers to come over, and I’ll reimburse you for the transportation expenses. Then, I’ll get them to introduce you to the local situation?”

Bah!

Who would care about your little transportation expenses?

“Alright, don’t push the responsibility around. With my little military strength, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find anyone!”

“That’s right. The number of soldiers that are moving around here isn’t much either. I’m afraid it’s going to be quite difficult!”

…

Actually, everyone was clear that something must have gone wrong in the Magical Region. Moreover, it was not a small problem! That was why the higher-ups had sent people to investigate without a sound. In the end, they did not expect that before they could even solve the problem, even Elder Qin was thrown into the mix!

Now, it was said that they were saving people, but as long as they went in, who could guarantee the lives of their soldiers?

The talent that they had spent so much effort to nurture was lost just like that. Who would be willing to take it on?

“Then you will just watch Elder Qin die?!”

Elder Ning listened quietly for a long time, and his face became darker and darker. When everyone was trying to shirk their responsibility, he suddenly stood up and shouted sternly. He slammed the table with his hands!

Everyone looked at each other and did not say anything… However, it was clear from their attitude. They wanted to fight for their lives!

Seeing this, Elder Ning was so angry that he was panting!

This group of cowardly bastards!

When he first received the news, Elder Ning was so scared that he almost fainted!

They had lived for more than half their lives, and they only had a few friends left. If something really happened, no one would feel good.

When he recovered, he immediately participated in the search and rescue operation of Elder Qin. He did not expect it to be so difficult at the beginning!

They did not even have the manpower to search and rescue, so what was there to talk about!?

“Little Chen, ask yourself, how did Elder Qin treat you back then?” Elder Ning turned his head and asked angrily, “Don’t you think you’re letting him down by doing this now?”

“I…” The man hesitated for a long time, his face full of hesitation. Finally, he said, “Uncle Ning, it’s not that I’m heartless not to save Elder Qin, but the point is that the Magical Region is really strange! To tell you the truth, the team I sent to patrol before all died inside. Not a single one survived! In such a situation, how do you expect me to save them?”

“The lives of the soldiers under my command, aren’t they all precious? A life is a life! How can I just watch them send themselves to their deaths!”

When the others heard this, they were all shocked… all dead?

“Elder Chen, then why did you ask my soldiers to go just now? Aren’t you trying to trick me?” another man frowned and scolded angrily.

“That’s right. You didn’t report such a serious situation. You don’t want to do it, right?”

Elder Chen smiled bitterly. “How could I not report it? But the higher-ups said that I must keep this information under wraps and not reveal it. Tell me, what else can I do?”

“If Uncle Ning didn’t say that just now, I wouldn’t have exposed this matter on my own accord!”

Once these words were said, everyone naturally could not blame him anymore. After all, the higher-ups’ attitude of wanting to keep this information under wraps was very obvious. If it was them, they would also have no choice.

“Then… What about Elder Qin?” Elder Ning glanced at them and asked in a low voice.

“I’ll go look for him!”

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Qin Yue’s eyes were bloodshot as he walked in with heavy steps. His deep eyes swept across the people present. It was obvious that he had heard most of what they had said just now. “That’s my grandfather. I’ll go look for him!”

“Nonsense!” Elder Ning slammed the table heavily. “Didn’t you hear what they said just now? So many people went in, but something happened. What’s the use of a tiny little carrot like you?”

“I can’t just do nothing and wait here like a fool!” Qin Yue roared, and his eyes immediately turned red.

“I said, no!” Elder Ning was rarely firm. Elder Qin was already in trouble. If Qin Yue went in with him, he would be worried to death! How could he explain to the Qin Family in the future?

“Then I’ll go alone. You can’t control me all the time anyway…”

“Enough.” Before Qin Yue could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ning Yiyuan who walked over from behind him. “Why are you walking into a dead end now? How dare you talk back!”

Then, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Elder Ning with determination. “Grandpa, why don’t you let me bring some people to look for him?”

… Huh?

Hearing this, all the men in the room could not help but be stunned.

Ning Yiyuan actually took the initiative to take on a mission that others wished they could immediately turn down? Truly, a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger!

To put it bluntly, this matter had nothing to do with Ning Yiyuan at all. He was the Commander-in-chief of the Military District. Although he had quite a number of troops on hand, it had nothing to do with this matter.

Moreover, if something happened to Ning Yiyuan again, who would be able to bear the responsibility?

Because of this, he was not invited to this meeting. They did not expect Ning Yiyuan to appear himself, and he even said such words!

For a moment, the entire discussion hall became quiet…
