Despite being rejected for the gift he wanted to give, Little Chubby was not discouraged, but instead tried to think of something.
Days passed by one by one.
Following Xie Chiyuan's advice, Yu An left the position of alliance manager to be chosen by Da Zai and Er Zai themselves.
He won't interfere with which of these two kids they choose.
He just wants the final result.
Before the two kids could make a decision, Zhai Man from the East District and both the North and South Districts ran into trouble.
Zhai Man was injured again; the leader of the South District and the newly elected leader of the North District were both killed.
When the news reached the western district, Xie Chiyuan immediately ordered a strengthening of defenses.
He called his eldest son to inquire about the details of the accident.
The eldest son said in a deep voice, "I didn't see clearly. I didn't see who hurt him."
If he had discovered it earlier, Zhai Man wouldn't have been so badly injured.
Similarly, if he had discovered it any later, Zhai Man's life would not have been saved.
The other party was after Zhai Man's life.
In Zone 4, Zhai Man was in a coma, the other two zones were leaderless, and only Zone 5 remained normal.
However, things cannot remain normal in the West District forever. If other districts descend into chaos, the West District will inevitably be affected sooner or later.
"Xie Chiyuan, who could have pulled off such a grand scheme?"
Yu An and Xie Chiyuan were both watching this matter closely. The matter was too big and happened suddenly, and they didn't even know who to suspect.
Although Wen Rong from the North District has escaped, he is now universally hated.
He alone could not have stirred up such a huge storm.
The Red Bird organization specializes in assassinations, and Xie Chiyuan specifically sought out the Red Bird.
Chi Niao told Xie Chiyuan with certainty, "We didn't do it. We haven't been hired for this kind of thing."
"Can you find out who did it?"
Xie Chiyuan was doing business with Chi Niao: "As long as you find out who it is, you can name any reward you want."
Red Bird is a businessman who loves to do business; as long as you pay enough, he'll do any kind of business.
But this time, he rejected Xie Chiyuan.
Red Bird's premise for doing business is ensuring its own survival.
Just like he doesn't accept missions to assassinate Xie Chiyuan or anyone else in the West District.
This time, he also refused the task that Xie Chiyuan wanted to discuss with him.
"He was able to kill the bosses of both the North and South districts, and almost killed Zhai Man right under A01's nose. Xie Chiyuan, I can't do this kind of business."
Red Bird frankly admitted his incompetence. Although he didn't accept the mission, he promised Xie Chiyuan, "If I know any information about the assassin, I will tell you."
"free."
With the last two words, Akagiri felt he had been very sincere.
The situation is on the verge of chaos again, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to lend a hand.
After ending his conversation with Chi Niao, Xie Chiyuan still sent people from the West District to investigate.
Pei Si was sent to the most dangerous northern district.
After the leader of the North District died, three more people were successively promoted to the position.
But unsurprisingly, all three new leaders died.
It's now very difficult for the North District to produce a new leader.
Everyone realized that, at this critical juncture, the leader's identity was a death knell.
Xie Chiyuan sent out more and more people to investigate, and the defense measures in the western district were constantly being upgraded.
The calm in the West End at this moment is more like the calm before the storm.
Yu An also went out a few times. Once, Little Fatty even hid in his backpack, and he didn't realize it until he had already left.
Because they had already traveled a long way, Little Chubby could no longer be sent back.
Yu An had no choice but to bring him along in the end.
I don't know if it's because of the long trip, but Little Chubby's courage is growing stronger.
He couldn't find a suitable gift outside, and the little bird was extremely worried.
"Xie Chiyuan, Zhai Man is awake."
"He wanted to invite us over so we could help him with a scheme."
The person who stirred up such a commotion has a clear target—
They want to create chaos among everyone.
The fastest, most ruthless, and most effective way to incite chaos among humans is not to cause trouble among them, but to directly eliminate their leader.
Without a leader to keep an eye on and protect them, humanity will soon descend into chaos.
It will be much easier to control them then.
This method is even more effective than creating the first zombie.
What kind of scheme is he trying to set up?
Xie Chiyuan had a general idea in his mind: "Does he want to use himself as bait?"
Although Yu An and Xie Chiyuan were both leaders, neither of them encountered any danger, which is enough to show that the assassins were still quite wary of targeting them.
Given their fear of them, it's hard to say whether they'll try to assassinate them again.
Zhai Man was indeed a ready-made target.
"Xie Chiyuan, do you think there might be danger?"
After Yu An nodded, Xie Chiyuan looked somewhat uneasy.
“Zhai Man has managed the East District very well. The relationship between our two districts is so harmonious now. If he really leaves, it’s uncertain whether the East and West Districts will still be so harmonious in the future.”
Yu An highly approves of Zhai Man. He doesn't want the East District to change its personnel.
"I will do my best to ensure his safety."
Xie Chiyuan agreed to Zhai Man's plan: "Although Zhai Man is going to use himself as bait, I don't believe anyone can take the bait right under our noses."
The two secretly headed to the East District, accompanied by the mutant baby.
A few kittens stayed in the West District, but Four, Eight, Five, and Chirp all went with Yu An.
When the little chubby bird saw them leaving, it flapped its little wings and followed them.
"Beep beep, take Fatty with you."
"Daddy won't take Fatty." Chiu Chiu knew it was dangerous to go out, so naturally he didn't want to take little Fatty Chiu with him.
But the little chubby bird was very persistent. He spread his little wings, and even when his wings were tired, he still wanted his father to carry him.
Yu An glanced at the chubby little bird who had secretly run away last time, worried that if he were left in the West District, the people there wouldn't be able to control him.
"Chirp chirp, let's take Fatty with us. He's such a restless little guy these days, he's bound to cause trouble if we don't keep a close eye on him."
This chubby little bird, born into a difficult situation and abandoned after birth, has managed to survive despite being abandoned for a long time. Now, it's so spoiled that it doesn't know its place and is indeed difficult to manage.
Xie Chiyuan also spoke up: "With us watching over him, nothing will happen to Fatty."
Bazai chimed in, "Pangpang has been so well-behaved lately, let's take him along, he won't cause any trouble."
Finally, the chubby little bird was brought out.
Looking at the chubby little boy who was being pampered, Yu An was quite emotional: "I always thought that my little ones needed me to take care of them. I never thought that in the blink of an eye, they would have even smaller cubs to take care of."
The cubs he raised are now grown up and taking care of even smaller cubs.
This scene exchange deeply moved Yu An.
soon.
They secretly arrived in the East District. Zhai Man had just woken up; his face was still pale, and his breathing was uneven when he spoke to Yu An.
"Yu An, thank you for coming all this way."
"It's not hard work."
After inquiring about his health, Yu An quickly got down to business.
They worked with Zhai Man to develop a more detailed plan.
Unless the mastermind behind this is brought to justice, none of them will be able to live in peace.
They discussed important matters while the children waited outside.
Chiu Chiu was keeping Five-Zai company, while Eight-Zai was holding Little Chubby Chiu and taking him for a stroll in the East District.
"Baby, don't run too far."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Qiuqiu said worriedly, "My right eyelid has twitched several times."
There's a saying among humans: a twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck.
Chiu Chiu didn't know if he would be considered human when he transformed into human form; he was just giving Ba Zai a heads-up in advance.
Bazai replied nonchalantly, "I know, I won't take him far."
Although Bazai seems reckless, he is very meticulous when it comes to taking care of his cubs.
Little Chubby Chubby was carried away by Eight-Zai, but Chubby Chubby didn't leave; he continued to wait for his older brother.
About half an hour later, Yu An came out of the room.
He and Xie Chiyuan arranged their own accommodations, and they did not disturb anyone in the East District at all.
Even when I came to the East District, I disguised myself beforehand.
Following the plan, they discreetly guarded around Zhai Man.
