Chapter 19 - Excellent Strategy

The military advisor nodded and replied, "Though we have surrounded Xiqiang City, we are in no better situation than Feng Xiyan. We are running out of food and water, and the promised supplies from the Yu Empire have been delayed again and again."

He shook his head and added, "If this continues, even if we manage to defeat the Feng Army, we won't have the strength to hold on to Xiqiang City."

After listening to the military advisor's analysis, Kai Mu's gaze darkened. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "You are saying the Yu Empire plans to kill the hound after the hunt?"

The military advisor nodded solemnly. "Not just the Yu Empire. Other tribes and kingdoms are eyeing Xiqiang City as well. One wrong move, one poorly timed decision, and we could end up just like Feng Xiyan."

"So, what is your plan?" Kai Mu asked with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

The military advisor stood up from his seat and walked over to the sand table in the center of the tent. Seeing this, Kai Mu and the generals followed him.

Standing by the sand map, the advisor placed a few miniature flags on it and said, "We have blocked these passages, and Feng Xiyan has stationed his troops in these locations."

He then placed a few more flags on the sand map and added, "Therefore, to conquer the city, we need to attack from here."

"A few days ago, our spies discovered a secret passage into Xiqiang City. While the Supreme General leads the main army to attack from the north gate, General Lai Ka will lead a team of 500 elite soldiers through the secret passage to infiltrate Xiqiang City."

"With the Supreme General drawing Feng Xiyan's attention and firepower, General Lai Ka will strike from within. With inside and outside coordination, taking over Xiqiang City will be easy."

After listening to the plan, Kai Mu laughed in satisfaction. "This is an excellent strategy! Military Advisor, you truly are a genius!"

The military advisor smiled, bowed slightly, and replied, "Thank you for your praise, Supreme General."

After patting the military advisor in the shoulders, Kai Mu turned to the generals and commanded, "Prepare for battle. We will attack Xiqiang City tonight!"

The generals placed their right fists over their chests and responded in unison, "Yes, Supreme General!"

While Kai Mu and his forces were preparing their surprise attack, Bai Hanyun's phone rang.

She glanced at the screen and saw an unknown number. After a brief thought, she answered the call.

The moment the call connected, Bai Yansheng's angry voice came through. "You damned girl! How dare you block my number?!"

Bai Hanyun frowned at the familiar voice. She turned on the loudspeaker and turned on the recording function.

She then coldly asked, "What do you want?"

"What's with your attitude?! How dare you speak to your father like that?! You ungrateful bastard!" Bai Yansheng snapped.

"I'm not interested in listening to your yelling," Bai Hanyun cut him off coldly. "You are not my father anymore. Bai Yansheng, if you have nothing important to say, don't call me again."

Just as she was reaching out to the phone to hang up the call, Bai Yansheng hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

Leaning back on the couch, Bai Hanyun said coldly, "Speak. Why are you calling?"

Trying to rein in his anger, Bai Yansheng looked out from his office window on the 32nd floor and said, "Come to the office tomorrow and sign the share transfer documents."

Listening to what he said, Bai Hanyun raised an eyebrow in amusement. Understanding what was going on, she chuckled and slowly said, "In your dreams."

With that, she hung up the call without waiting for Bai Yansheng's reaction.

In his office, Bai Yansheng's anger exploded. He threw his phone to the wall and cursed, "Ungrateful bastard! How dare she hang up on me?! I'm going to kill you!"

Unaware that her words had caused Bai Yansheng's blood pressure to shoot up to the sky, Bai Hanyun thought for a moment before dialing another number.

A few seconds later, a calm male voice came through. "This is Jiang Yinqi speaking. Who is this?"

"Attorney Jiang, it's me, Bai Hanyun," she replied.

Recognizing her voice, Jiang Yinqi immediately paused what he was doing and asked, "Miss Bai, how can I help you?"

"Bai Yansheng just called me," she answered.

Jiang Yinqi frowned at her words and asked, "Did he ask you to go to the Bai Group's office tomorrow to sign the share transfer documents?"

"He did."

After confirming his suspicions, Jiang Yinqi added, "Miss Bai, if you prefer not to go, I can represent you."

Bai Hanyun smiled and explained, "I'm in another city right now, so I won't be going. I will have to trouble you to take care of this matter tomorrow."

There was a brief pause before Jiang Yinqi replied, "No problem. Leave it to me. I will contact you after I have dealt with Bai Yansheng."

"Alright. Then I will wait for your good news."

After ending the call, Bai Hanyun sighed and gazed out at the garden through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Recalling Bai Yansheng's words just now, she frowned and muttered, "Even after leaving the Bai family, Bai Yansheng still won't leave me alone. If that is the case, then I will fight them to the end."

Making her decision, Bai Hanyun went to the study and took out the documents left by her grandfather. She opened them and spent hours carefully reading through them.
