Chapter 362: Chapter 362 Extra Impact_l
The next day.
A small house on the outskirts.
Seven or eight subordinates knelt before Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen himself looked extremely displeased, his handsome face was shrouded in a layer of black haze. The casual smile he usually carried was absent, replaced with a cold aura akin to frost.
He had initially planned to acquire the Thunderbolt Bullet through this opportunity, but to his dismay, he ended up losing both his wife and soldiers!
The Thunderbolt Bullet eventually ended up in the hands of the Anti-Japanese Army, serving as a huge morale booster during these critical times! Moreover, it enhanced Chu Lan’s chances of being recognized for his contributions!
Qi Zhen asked: “Any news about the maker of the Thunderbolt Bullet?” The subordinates who knelt on the ground dared not utter a word.
“So, there is no news? Are you all incompetent? The Anti-Japanese Army has obtained the Thunderbolt Bullet, and yet, you have no information about its
maker?”
“Master, please calm down. The creator of the Thunderbolt Bullet has not surfaced. The merchant said he doesn’t know anything about the maker either and got the Thunderbolt Bullet by coincidence. Thus, the Anti-Japanese Army only obtained the two boxes of Thunderbolt Bullets left by the merchant and there will be none left once they are used up. It may not play a significant role in combating the Japanese Pirates.”
Qi Zhen gave a cold laugh at these words: “Not being able to find is equivalent to not finding, don’t make excuses for me!”
His subordinates fell into silence.
“Continue to search for clues. Those who do not wish to die must bring back satisfying results! Otherwise, you’ll pay with your heads!” Qj Zhen ordered.
“We obey your orders!”

Within the study room of the Bamboo Courtyard.
Wei Jinyi sat at his desk, with Ke Chongshan and Zhang Yi reporting to him. “Master, Zheng Zhongye is dead, likely silenced by his master.” Zhang Yi said.
“This Prince Six is truly ruthless. He had planted spies in the military camp early on. As soon as Zheng Zhongye’s cover was blown, they killed him immediately, not giving any chance for him to reveal their identities.” Ke
Chongshan couldn’t help but comment.
“Hmm.” Wei Jinyi was not surprised by this outcome.
Zhang Yi continued: ” Speaking of which, Zheng Zhongye was a capable subordinate of Prince Six, his death will certainly weaken Prince Six. It seems like we’ve inadvertently achieved a good outcome.”
Ke Chongshan said, “I must say, our young mistress is truly extraordinary! Without her brilliant plan, we wouldn’t have this outcome!
Zhang Yi agreed, “Our young mistress is indeed impressive. The Thunderbolt Bullet is the most powerful weapon I have ever seen. With such a weapon, what enemies could stand before us?”
It appeared that their unintentional actions had produced larger outcomes than anticipated. Wei Ruo’s original intention was to just expose the traitor within the Anti-Japanese Army and help Xu Zhengyong get promoted, but she didn’t expect that it would have additional consequences.
“Don’t involve RuoRuo.” Wei Jinyi said.
“Yes, understood.” Zhang Yi and Ke Chongshan agreed hastily, not daring to mention Wei Ruo again.
Wei Jinyi then asked, “What’s the reaction from Prince Seven?”
