He then moved his eyes toward Yi Qiao. The young man was laying down on the ground, holding his pained belly. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

The old man walked toward his son and pushed the gun away, ”Go help Yi Qiao, I will handle the rest!” He ordered his son to help Yi Qiao first.

Mu Liqiu entered the room too, she was shocked when she saw the inside. The big crack on the wall, the injured Yi Qiao, and an unfamiliar man her daughter hugged. She still failed to comprehend what happened.

The old man then approached Tang Shaoyang. He faced the man her daughter hugged with a stern look, ”Can I talk with my daughter first? We will talk after!”

”Sure!” Tang Shaoyang smiled at the old man, ”But I hope you will not send your man to kill me again just like that dude over there,” he pointed at Yi Qiao who was standing with the help of Kang Zian.

”Don't worry, I can promise you that no one will come to bother you,” the old man bowed his head slightly. He was apologizing for what his son did to Tang Shaoyang.

Before leaving the room with her father, Kang Xue whispered something to Tang Shaoyang. It was a long whisper, Yi Qiao and Kang Zian also managed to see this before they left the room. Tang Shaoyang's response was a nod before finally the daughter and the father left the room.

Thirty minutes later

Tang Shaoyang was sitting in front of his father-in-law, alone. In the different guest rooms, they faced each other with a cup of water on the table.

”I am here to express my gratitude for saving my daughter,” the old man politely bowed his head to show his gratitude.

Tang Shaoyang immediately waved his hand at Kang Jiayi, ”You don't need to, she's my woman, after all,” he was so casual in front of his father-in-law, this was him.

Kang Jiayi furrowed his brows at how Tang Shaoyang behaved. He thought the man would act seriously if he showed a polite stance. But then he remembered what his daughter told him about the man.

”So, do you have a base outside there?” The old man decided to not dwell on Tang Shaoyang's attitude.

”Yes, I managed a base, your daughter is the head of the Medical Division. Didn't she tell you?” Tang Shaoyang nodded his head.

The frown on Kang Jiayi's forehead deepened. Her daughter told her about the smart base that Tang Shaoyang had. He did not speak for a while. After a moment of silence, the old man opened his mouth, ”Are you willing to give the base to the military?” He spoke out his mind without hiding.

Hearing the old man's request, Tang Shaoyang's expression stiffened. It was for a moment before his expression returned normal. He did not snap out in anger but calmly looked at his father-in-law, ”Old man, do you know how I can get the smart base?”

Kang Jiayi responded with a shake of his head and Tang Shaoyang smiled at this, ”I put my neck on the line to get the smart base, I risked my life! Do you think I will hand over the base because you ask me in the name of the military?”

”But such a thing should not be managed by a civilian, this is for our country!” The old man expressed his opinion about the smart base.

Tang Shaoyang's grin turned wider at this statement, ”Old man, do you think our country has not… No, do you think all countries have not fallen yet?” Until now, he did not know the old man's name, so he kept calling him an old man.

Bang!

Kang Jiayi knew the meaning behind Tang Shaoyang's words, and he was furious.

Tang Shaoyang merely shrugged his shoulder. He respected the elder, but of course, if the old man did not cross the line he would never cross the line as well.

”If you try to convince me to hand over the base to the military, then you should stop right now! You can never convince me, but if you want to join my empire, I will gladly accept all of you into my base!”

”What if I force you to hand over the base!” Kang Jiayi's face was dead-serious, it was as if he was ready to wage war against Tang Shaoyang.

”You can't! Even if you are Kang Xue's father, I won't be merciful if you try to touch my things!” Tang Shaoyang did not lose his grin while sending his threat to the old man.

'Mnn, having the ex-military to join would be hard,' he thought to himself as he realized that the military won't accept his words if he said the country had fallen. He needed another way to convince them to join as the force would not work against the military.

”Then you can never meet my daughter again,” suddenly Kang Jiayi smiled at him, he used his daughter as a pawn for the base. ”I won't let my daughter's man be a traitor of my motherland!”
