Chapter 325 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (78 words)
They want to capture you because you are powerful and capable people in the empire.
They went to great lengths to come here, just to covet the wealth, technology, and various precious resources you possess.
Rather than having our property stolen by pirates, left to be slaughtered, and our family fortune destroyed, it's better to use it for ourselves to protect our shared home!
Li Que stood to the side, silently pondering Yun Suisi's words. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he instantly understood Yun Suisi's intention. He blurted out, "
Donation?!
Yun Suisi looked at Li Que, nodded approvingly, and said:
"That's right, the Second Prince is indeed exceptionally intelligent; he understands things immediately."
Everyone donated the weapons and resources that their families had hidden.
If we pool our resources and allocate them centrally, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Otherwise, if we just sit here and wait to die, we'll eventually be captured by the pirates, and then it will truly be too late to save ourselves!
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man who had just been mocking him flew into a rage again, shouting:
Why should we donate?
That's all the money our family has worked hard to accumulate over generations. Why should we let you take it and risk it?
If we ultimately fail to hold on, won't we have ended up with nothing, having accomplished nothing at all?
I absolutely disagree!
He spoke while crossing his arms, appearing completely unyielding.
At this moment, an elderly man with white hair stepped forward, leaning on a cane. His expression was solemn, and he spoke in a heavy tone:
"Young man, what time is it? Why are you still worrying about your own little things?"
If the pirates really invade, burning, killing, and looting, will you still have a home?
"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Don't you understand this principle?"
The middle-aged man remained defiant, veins bulging on his neck, as he stubbornly retorted:
"Old man, you make it sound so easy, why don't you donate first!"
"It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering; stop with your hypocritical preaching!"
Yun Suisi's gaze was sharp as he stared intently into the middle-aged man's eyes, and he said, word by word:
"Do you think that if you don't donate now, the pirates will spare you and your family after they attack?"
They won't show any mercy.
At that time, not only will you lose your possessions, but your lives and the honor of your family will also be lost.
Donating now is to preserve everything you cherish, and for the entire empire. This is our shared responsibility and our only hope for survival!
Think about it carefully: do you want to cling to those material possessions and end up with nothing, or do you want to work together and fight for a chance to survive?
Upon hearing Yun Suisi's words, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Everyone was secretly plotting their own agenda.
The wealth and resources accumulated by generations of a family are the foundation of the family's prosperity, and no one wants to give them up easily.
Despite the critical situation, the thought of donating these things made everyone hesitate, their feet seemingly nailed to the ground, and no one showed any intention of taking action.
The middle-aged man still had his arms tightly crossed over his chest, his eyes full of resistance, and he was muttering to himself:
"No matter what I say, it won't do. These are our family's lifeblood. If we donate them, what will we do in the future?"
Although the people next to them didn't say anything, their expressions showed that they had the same thought.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yun Suisi sighed helplessly but did not continue to persuade them.
He knew that matters involving the fundamental interests of the family could not be decided by everyone in a short time.
He turned around and quickly walked to Jun Sui's side, his usually calm face now filled with concern and worry.
He gently took Jun Sui's hand and kept instructing him:
"Ah Sui, the battle ahead is extremely dangerous, you must be careful."
Those space pirates are ruthless; we must not let our guard down.
As he spoke, he carefully straightened Jun Sui's clothes, as if he wanted to convey all his worries and concerns to him through this action.
"No matter what happens, your safety must come first. I'll be here waiting for your safe return."
Jun Sui looked at Yun Suisi, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination. He gently took Yun Suisi's hand and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."
With you here, I have the motivation to overcome anything.
Yun Suisi nodded slightly, but his eyes still shone with worry.
He then gave detailed instructions, covering everything from battle strategies to potential dangers, leaving no stone unturned.
Jun Sui listened patiently throughout, offering responses from time to time, which reassured Yun Suisi.
Just as everyone was still deadlocked over whether to donate resources, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out from the sky.
The space pirates finally launched their attack. The weapon ports of their warships flashed with dangerous light, and beams of energy, like dense meteors, poured fiercely down on the planet.
The attacks struck the protective shield with pinpoint accuracy, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.
As expected of the core weapon of the imperial army, its power is truly astonishing.
Each beam of energy that struck the protective shield caused it to tremble violently, creating dazzling ripples as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
The crowd was terrified by the sudden attack, and screams and cries filled the air.
Some people panicked and ran away, desperately searching for a place to hide;
Some people's legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with despair and fear, too frightened to move.
But amidst this chaos, Yun Suisi and Jun Sui seemed to be detached from it all.
Yun Suisi held Jun Sui's hand and nestled affectionately beside him, her face showing no sign of panic or fear.
The violent explosions and the shaking protective shield seemed to be merely background music to their private world.
Yun Suisi gently tiptoed and whispered in Jun Sui's ear:
"Ah Sui, no matter how chaotic things are outside, I believe in you, and I believe we can overcome this difficulty."
Jun Sui looked tenderly at Yun Suisi, lowered her head slightly, placed a kiss on his forehead, and responded softly:
"With you by my side, I have nothing to fear. We will surely win this battle."
Despite the apocalyptic scene around them, they only had eyes for each other, and their tightly clasped hands conveyed endless warmth and strength.
In this chaotic world, they formed their own warm and steadfast little world, as if no danger could separate them.
At this moment, the protective shield trembled even more violently under the pirates' frenzied attacks.
But Yun Suisi only glanced at him indifferently before turning his gaze back to the other person.
Everyone was terrified, their eyes fixed on the protective shield that was trembling more and more violently under the attack, as if it would shatter at any moment and those terrifying energy beams would mercilessly fall on them.
Finally, someone could no longer bear the immense psychological pressure and screamed at the top of their lungs:
"We'll donate, okay?!"
That shout was like flipping a switch, and others chimed in:
"Yes, we'll donate. Marshal Jun, why don't you hurry up and drive them away!"
Her voice was filled with anxiety and fear, and tinged with a sob.
Hearing these words, Yun Suisi smiled with satisfaction, a hint of barely perceptible pride flashing in his eyes, silently thinking to himself:
That's more like it; it would have been better to do it this way from the beginning.
He tilted his head slightly and gently kissed Jun Sui's lips, his voice soft yet full of strength:
"I'm cheering you on."
"Go quickly, my Grand Marshal!"
Jun Suihui gave Yun Suisi's hand a firm look and gently squeezed it.
He then turned around, exuding a chilling aura, and strode towards his command post.
Meanwhile, the attacks from the space pirates in the sky continued, and the protective shield's light grew dimmer, threatening to shatter at any moment.
