Chapter 2110: Chapter 2020: Like a Fish in Water
The recent success of the surprise operations has shown the upper echelon the astonishing capabilities of this new team, thus integrating it into the core unit of the Air Force.
Jun Yiyi, due to her outstanding leadership and strategic advice, has been promoted to lieutenant, and the general of the third air force that she follows holds her in high regard, intending to cultivate her as a central force among young officers. Often she is brought along to important military meetings, allowing her access to numerous military secrets and introductions to many influential figures.
Now, she is thriving, with her reputation and status increasingly elevated.
Just as she emerged from a military meeting, a figure dashed towards her, glaring angrily, ready to slap her.
At that moment, Jun Yiyi was discussing technical matters with a pilot; if it weren’t for the pilot noticing and swiftly grabbing that person’s wrist, she would have taken that slap solidly.
Jun Yiyi turned her head and met a pair of eyes filled with chilling hostility and murderous intent.
It was Lie Fengzi.
She couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic laugh: "Who would’ve thought that the Duke’s prestigious daughter would stoop to this level, behaving like a street shrew, all that elegance deemed unmatched in the Imperial City, what a disgrace."
Seeing Lie Fengzi, fallen from grace, unable to maintain her poise and driven to the brink of rage, Jun Yiyi felt a rush of vengeance satisfaction flood her heart.
"Jun Yiyi, you bastard." Lie Fengzi forcefully shook off the pilot’s hand, raising her chin, furiously yelling at Jun Yiyi.
"Yes, the tables have turned, you rise while I fall, you’ve had me expelled from Imperial Academy, dismissed from the military, reduced to a laughing stock; losing to you is my incompetence, I admit it. But one must bear the consequences alone, focus your tactics on me, why drag my father into this? He has been forced to resign all positions, relinquishing military power, now just an old man seeking peace, why be so cruel, driving him to prison? If you’re so capable, why not come at me directly."
Jun Yiyi frowned, as she indeed recently leveraged her connections with influential figures to gather evidence against Lie Fengzi, but frankly speaking, Lie Fengzi is quite shrewd, never leaving traces in her affairs. Even if she committed illegal acts before, the evidence and traces were long erased, making the pursuit challenging and troublesome.
Even feeling that legal revenge against this woman may be difficult, so for now, she can’t proceed, but she continues to suppress Lie Fengzi via connections with influential individuals, making her suffer constantly.
In all honesty, she doesn’t currently have the ability to have this woman famously expelled from Imperial Academy, a high institution beyond her reach.
Being expelled, dismissed, that’s not my doing, much less the Duke’s matters.
"Truly a dog that’s lost its home, your father’s predicament is due to his own misdeeds, falling as a pawn in power games, nothing to do with me. But where there’s smoke, there’s fire; if he’s imprisoned, it seems he’s committed many shameful acts before, now overturned, being held accountable. That’s called reaping what you sow; you both deserve it!" Jun Yiyi coldly snorted without mercy.
To reach such high positions, none are free of stains; victors are kings, losers are bandits.
