Number 7 stared at Ye Nan's table for a long time, his expression changing from gloomy to bright, and he didn't even bother to respond to the people around him talking.

After a while, he found an excuse to go to the bathroom, said hello to the guests, turned around and walked out of a side door of the banquet hall.

After walking around the corridor and arriving at the door of a VIP lounge, No. 7 knocked on the door cautiously.

"Enter."

A majestic voice sounded, and No. 7 pushed the door open cautiously, then immediately closed the door after entering.

There were two people in the lounge.

An old man who was less than sixty years old, wearing an ordinary navy blue gown, was sitting there with his eyes closed and resting.

Behind him, a graceful figure stood respectfully.

Even Number 7 didn't dare to look at this woman for too long.

He was no longer young, and the woman's exquisite, nearly perfect figure did not arouse any interest in him.

What's more, the bronze mask on the woman's face always exudes mystery...

"What's the matter?"

The old man sitting upright slowly opened his eyes and first glanced at the image on the computer screen in front of him, which was showing the surveillance scene of the restaurant.

"My dear big brother, can someone else do this job?" Number 7 laughed bitterly, "Whoever wants to be the villain can do it, I can't do it anyway!"

The old man smiled slightly upon hearing this, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh, during the anti-aggression war, the sharpshooter in our army was known for being able to kill anyone with one shot. Now he's scared now?"

"Don't mention those days!" Number 7 curled his lips, extremely unhappy, "You saved my life back then, okay, I've been paying you back for the rest of my life!"

"Hehe..." The old man took another look at the surveillance footage, his face a little more serious, "I saw the situation, don't worry, I don't blame you."

"It's not about blaming me or not!" Number 7 couldn't help but complain, "You can think of such a mean trick! If you don't want Ye Nan to keep an eye on the rich family, why do you have to make me find trouble for him?!"

"What do you think I can find out? I can only use my daughter as an excuse..."

"Haha, but your trick doesn't seem to have any effect!" The old man looked very happy. "Your precious daughter is also a wonderful person. She broke your trick with just a few words. Tsk tsk tsk, a good father will have a good daughter!"

"You want to watch the fun and not mind the trouble, right?" Number Seven sat down on the sofa angrily. "I've made it clear, you can go find Old Six about this matter. I'm quitting anyway!"

After a pause, he still felt angry and started to complain, "You said, they are all your brothers who followed you in the army back then. How can Old Six maintain a positive image when he acts like a nobody all the time?"

"Look at me again! What kind of work are you assigning to me? At the National Policy Council, you asked me to be a fence-sitter all day long, swaying this way and that way. Yes, No. 2 and No. 3 really can't see where I stand, but if this continues, I won't be able to see clearly myself!"

"Comrade Ji, don't be upset!" The old man laughed, "I haven't told Lao Liu about my whereabouts and plans. He is too honest and can't be as flexible as you!"

As he spoke, the old man sighed, "You know that I only have four people I can trust right now."

The old man glanced at the woman behind him and said, "She can't leave my side. Old Six can't do any conspiracy. Ye Nanchong is too powerful. Who else can I find if I don't find you?"

Number 7 was silent for a long while, and then he sighed helplessly, "I don't think it's a bad thing... Just let Ye Nan go, isn't this what we've been pursuing? Now Ye Nan can take on the responsibility alone. Look at what he has done since he returned to the capital. He even defeated Number 2 a few days ago!"

"It's such an exciting thing, why do you want me to trip him up and distract him?"

After listening silently, the old man sighed again and hesitated for a moment, "Well, anyway, judging from the current situation, the Sima family and the Dongfang family will wisely choose to bow their heads and surrender to Ye Nan. The remaining Nangong family will be unable to support it alone, and I can't stop them even if I want to."

After a pause, the old man continued helplessly, "Seventh Brother, you are such a clear-sighted person, how come you can't figure out what will happen when all the wealthy families fall?"

Number 7 was a little surprised. He pondered for a while, and suddenly his pupils contracted. "Military Department!"

The old man nodded solemnly, "The four major military divisions are stationed in the four directions respectively. They usually never care about the power struggles in the capital. As long as Daxia is stable and there is no chaos, they will abide by the important task of guarding the country's borders and will not ask about anything else."

"No. 2 and No. 3 have been promoting their ideas to several major military departments. I don't know to what extent they have succeeded."

"Once all the wealthy families fall, Daxia's inherent clan system will collapse, and there will be a large number of vacancies in the power center, which will inevitably lead to chaos for a period of time."

"The military doesn't want to see a situation where foreign forces can take advantage of the situation."

"By then, I'm not sure whether they will stand on the side of number two and number three and take strong action to stabilize the situation..."

Number Seven frowned, "That's impossible! How could the military be so ignorant? The aristocratic families are the problem of Daxia, how could they not know?"

"Then do you think No. 2 and No. 3 don't understand this?" The old man sneered, "Ultimately, the dispute between us and them is about the route."

"We want to remove this thorn from the country in our lifetime. If we want to see quick results, we will have to pay a price. We choose to suffer a short-term pain rather than a long-term one."

"Although No. 2 and No. 3 are power-hungry, in the eyes of the military, this is a conservative approach. Maintaining stability is the top priority, and we should take things step by step."

"So I'm not sure whether the military, which puts national stability first, would agree with their approach."

Number 7 pondered for a long time, and said worriedly, "So... the day when the wealthy family system collapses is the day when the four major military departments enter Beijing!"

The old man nodded, "What I am even less sure about is whether Ye Nan can grow up to be someone who can compete with and convince the four marshals before this!"

Number Seven fell completely silent.

He could even empathize with the tremendous pressure Ye Nan would face at that time. It was chilling to think about it!

He knew very well what kind of background the four major military departments had.

The Martial Arts Alliance controls 70% to 80% of the martial artists in the civilian world. So where are most of the martial artists who are not in the wild?

Of course it’s the military!

There are countless talented people under the command of the four marshals!

"Speaking of which, I am somewhat sorry to Ye Nan." The old man suddenly laughed bitterly. "In the early years, there were some sects in the cultivator world that were friendly to the secular world and were active in the world. They contacted our official website and reached some cooperation. It was me who approved the military to connect with them and absorbed many cultivator masters into the military."

"Now it seems that Ye Nan has been given many difficult opponents for nothing..."
