Leaving the imperial palace, Shijing Ye hurriedly drove ho, remotely directing personnel not belonging to the family forces to participate in palace guard duties. His face was very unsightly; the case had made no progress so far, and the claim of having leads was rely a lie. Although the intelligence agency was involved in the investigation, the results were minimal. Shijing Ye was well aware that the intelligence agency was deliberately dragging its feet.
Vaguely, Shijing Ye also felt that the entire incident clearly targeted his family. Could it be an internal political struggle, where soone felt the Shijing family's power was too great? Thinking of this, Shijing Ye couldn't help but shiver, suddenly becoming more alert. Combined with recent events, many doubts suddenly beca clear.
Thinking about these things, Shijing Ye couldn't help but speed up. After returning ho, he found out his father, Shijing Kong, was in the study, quickly knocked on the door and entered. He saw his father, Shijing Kong, lying in the chair reading, closed the door respectfully, and said, "Father, you must have heard about the gas pipeline explosion in the palace? The president asked to dispatch personnel to the palace."
"rely cowards fearing death; it's not worth ntioning. No wonder the imperial power is declining; each generation is inferior to the last. Well, what do you think?" Shijing Kong put down the book and asked.
"It's a conspiracy against our family," Shijing Ye quickly said.
Shijing Kong was taken aback, looked at Shijing Ye with so relief, gestured for him to remain silent, and pondered for a mont. After a while, Shijing Kong sighed and said, "The tree that stands out in the forest is sure to be blown down by the wind. The Shijing family has reached my generation, with your uncle in the Chrysanthemum Group, holding real power and second only to the president, also considered the backbone of imperial power. Your father is at the Pri Minister's Residence, controlling most of the pri minister's power, seemingly glorious. Now it seems that this decision was wrong; having a stake in both sides is unfavorable. Soone is uneasy about our family, but it's uncertain whether this person represents imperial power or pri ministerial power. It's comndable that you thought of this.
"Are you saying that this conspiracy might be directed by the Emperor or the Pri Minister?" Shijing Ye asked in surprise.
"Regardless of who, that's not important. What's important is our stance; what do you plan to do?" Shijing Kong asked, his gaze becoming sharp, with an intention of testing him.
"I lean towards the Emperor. How could there be so many incidents in the palace for no reason? If the Pri Minister wanted to deal with us, he wouldn't dare use the Emperor's hand. The palace incidents allow him to disassociate himself if he fails against us in the future. Now, the president has withdrawn personnel, and I suspect they are planning to act against our family, just like the manor last ti." Shijing Ye said coldly, eyes filled with a murderous aura.
"Hmm, good thinking. What do you plan to do?" Shijing Kong asked excitedly.
"Pretend not to know, secretly gather strength. As long as they dare to co, we will utterly defeat them." Shijing Ye said fiercely.
"Very good, go ahead and arrange it. It should be tonight." Shijing Kong said with satisfaction, closing his eyes to rest.
"Yes." Shijing Ye answered respectfully, exiting the room.
┅┅
East of Capital City, outside in the wilderness.
The wilderness under the night's shroud acquired a bit more mystery, with undulating mountains, a gentle breeze, and swaying shrubs that seed like an ink painting with distinct shades of black, exuding an ancient charm, especially that building complex on the wilderness, appeared even more exquisite under the moonlight.
Luo Zheng, Lan Xue, and Yuanfei Zuo's father and daughter were in the room watching the computer screen, which displayed the palace. Countless people were running out of the palace, gas inside had ignited into a sky-high fire, with explosions constantly occurring. There were no collapses visible, which made Luo Zheng sowhat regretful, but he did not express it. Instead, he looked at Yuanfei Zuo with a smile, "Your people did great; the palace is uneasy now."
"It's all thanks to your planning. Once the gas pipeline exploded, no one was in the mood to catch the venomous rats. The rats, frightened by the explosion, rushed out of the underground network and burrowed into the surrounding woods. By night, they will definitely co out looking for food, spreading poison, causing more people to fall ill, giving so people plenty to do."
"After the attack on the palace, there will certainly be a state of alert everywhere, with large numbers of personnel deployed to protect the palace. In a few days, it'll be water pipes, electrical wiring. We'll make so noise every day to frighten the Emperor, eventually shifting the grievances onto the Shijing family. Now is the best ti to counterattack the Shijing family. In the next three days, the Emperor will hide in the underground bunker and not co out. We have three days to attack the Shijing family," Luo Zheng said sternly.
"Great, we will follow your lead. Tonight, with the chaos at the palace and everyone focused on it, we seize the opportunity to attack a Shijing family stronghold, where family head Shijing Tian resides." Yuanfei Zuo eagerly agreed.
"Good." Luo Zheng agreed wholeheartedly. Without Shijing Kong, the Shijing family could still operate, but without Shijing Tian, only Shijing Ye would be left to show. He hardly considered Shijing Ye a threat. With the Shijing family's dispersion, the Chrysanthemum Group's power would scatter by half, increasing the certainty of attacking the Chrysanthemum Group. How could Luo Zheng let such an opportunity slip?
"How do we fight?" Xinzi asked worriedly.
"The outside security is severe, the main force can't be deployed, and the Shijing family will certainly be on alert. We can't attack head-on. Prepare at least twenty remote-controlled aircraft for , and I'll handle the rest. You've dealt with the palace, now it's our turn. You can choose several experts to accompany." Luo Zheng said mysteriously.
"Great, we'll listen to you. Are three Chrysanthemum Ninjas, plus my father and daughter enough?" Yuanfei Zuo seriously responded, happy to agree since Luo Zheng would take the lead in attacking the Shijing family. With the palace attacked and roads locked down, it indeed wasn't suitable for a large force deploynt.
Luo Zheng did not imdiately answer Yuanfei Zuo's question as he heard the voice of Hong ihua in his earpiece, expressing urgency and delight, "Ghost, Xue Er, secret communication, the state has approved your plan; you are allowed to implent it, but there's one condition, it must not be exposed, otherwise the state will not recognize this operation."
After hearing Hong ihua's words, Luo Zheng calmly looked at Lan Xue, who understood and nodded, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing on her face. But she quickly adjusted, understanding the inefficiency, which would result in several deaths on the battlefield. Yet Lan Xue understood the difficulties the state faced, signaling Luo Zheng to handle it himself.
Luo Zheng comprehended and also sympathized with the state's difficulties, temporarily putting the matter aside. He looked at the anxiously waiting Yuanfei Zuo and smiled, "Here's what we'll do."
