Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

After two o'clock in the morning, the streets and alleys of Xishi were shrouded in silence, as if the entire city had fallen asleep.

Except for the occasional slight roar from a passing vehicle, the whole world seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

The street lamps on both sides of the street emit a soft light, bringing a hazy and mysterious beauty to this late night.

At this moment, most people are immersed in sweet dreams, and only those night owls who stay up late are still wandering in the quiet streets. However, in such a peaceful night, a strange noise suddenly broke the tranquility.

Police cars and military vehicles rushed past like lightning and soon disappeared into the night.

In a corner of the city, in front of a building, Gong Xiaochuan stood there quietly. He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell, and the crisp ringing sound echoed in the silent night.

"Who?"

After a long while, a sleepy voice came from inside the house. Qian Tiejun, the prefect of Xishi, was awakened from his sleep. He put on a coat in a daze, got up and walked to the door.

"Deputy Commander Gong, what's going on?" Qian Tiejun's face showed a hint of surprise and confusion, but more of dissatisfaction.

His face was grim, and he was about to blame Gong Xiaochuan for visiting him in the middle of the night and disturbing his rest, but he suddenly noticed that there were several soldiers with serious expressions and holding guns standing behind Gong Xiaochuan.

Qian Tiejun's face turned pale as paper. He tried to keep himself calm and said with a calm face, "Is there anything that can't wait until tomorrow? It's very late now."

However, before he finished speaking, he heard Gong Xiaochuan spit out two words coldly: "Take him away."

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers quickly stepped forward and controlled Qian Tiejun.

Qian Tiejun still wanted to resist, but facing the black muzzle of the gun, he finally gave up resistance and was taken away helplessly without even saying a word to his family.

Inside a hotel.

Chen Juan, deputy governor of Xishi, who had just completed a unique "godfathering" ceremony - the object was a young and handsome male star in the third-tier status, and was leisurely immersed in the warmth of the bathtub. She gently held the red wine glass in one hand, and her eyes lingered on the strong and powerful body of the young brother in front of her, with a satisfied smile on her face.

However, at this moment, a sudden doorbell rang, breaking the silence. Chen Juan's face, which still retained some charm, could not help but flash a hint of surprise.

She quickly put on her bathrobe, motioned for her young brother to answer the door, and told him to get rid of this uninvited and annoying "visitor" as soon as possible.

However, the moment the door was opened, Chen Juan's face turned extremely pale in an instant, and the red wine glass in her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, making a crisp and heart-pounding sound.

Her lips trembled involuntarily, and her voice was filled with undisguised fear:

"You...which unit are you from? How dare you barge in like this? Don't you know who I am?"

Facing her question, Jian Qiang, who led the team in, raised his lips slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Of course we know who you are, Chen Mingtang's niece, the deputy governor of Xishi."

Having said this, he paused, and then his tone suddenly turned cold, "It's a pity that you are about to become a prisoner now."

"you……"

Before Chen Juan could say anything else, the soldiers behind Jian Qiang rushed forward and took Chen Xiang and the third-tier male star away.

……

As the first rays of dawn appeared in the sky, the last person on the list was also taken into the military camp.

Without stopping, the interrogation began immediately.

Under the order of Master Chu, twenty-eight interrogation teams began to interrogate these officials...

early morning.

After enjoying the breakfast prepared by the nanny, Chen Mingtang left the restaurant and went to the garden. He breathed in the fresh morning air and came to his wife who was practicing Tai Chi. He asked casually, "Is grandson still awake?"

"Young people don't do it that early."

Song Shufen performed Tai Chi in a very realistic way while asking, "Are you not going to the office today?"

"I'll be there soon."

Chen Mingtang saw the car that had appeared at the door and the secretary who was walking hurriedly. He frowned slightly, responded to his wife, and walked towards the secretary.

"grown ups……"

When the secretary saw Chen Mingtang approaching, he greeted him, looking a little anxious, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Go to the study and talk!"

The secretary's look proved that something had happened, and it was a big thing. After saying something subconsciously, Chen Mingtang walked directly into the villa.

As soon as the door of the study was closed, the secretary said without waiting for Chen Mingtang to sit down, "Sir, I just got the news that the Public Security Bureau, without asking for permission, and the military arrested 28 officials at once last night, including Qingshi Governor Qian Tiejun and Deputy Governor Chen Juan..."

"Nonsense, what are they trying to do? They are colluding with the military without permission, are they rebelling?"

Before the secretary could finish, Chen Mingtang flew into a rage, his eyes showing the fire of thunder, and he shouted: "Immediately notify the person in charge of this matter at the Public Security Bureau and report to me immediately."

"Sir, I have already found out that this matter was decided by Gong Xiaochuan, the deputy commander of the Public Security Department, without authorization, and he did not report it to the commander..."

The secretary carefully raised his head and glanced at Chen Mingtang who was sitting behind the desk. At the end of his speech, his voice became lower and lower, as if he was afraid that what he would say next would anger Chen Mingtang.

"Anything else? Speak!" Chen Mingtang slammed the table, stood up and said sternly.

“The arrested officials were not in the Public Security Bureau, but were all in a barracks in the Qing Province Military District.”

After the secretary finished speaking, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen Mingtang again.

Upon hearing the news, Chen Mingtang's face became extremely gloomy, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes.

He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and asked, "Gong Xiaochuan? Who is this person? Why is he so bold?"

Chen Mingtang tried hard to recall every name and face in his mind, but he still couldn't remember who Gong Xiaochuan was.

"No matter who it is, order him to put down everything he is doing and come here to explain everything to me immediately!" Chen Mingtang ordered the secretary in a cold tone.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." The secretary responded, and when he turned around and was about to leave, Chen Mingtang stopped him again.

"Wait, who is leading the military team? Have you found out?" Chen Mingtang asked with a gloomy face.

At this moment, his heart was filled with anger and confusion - was he fooled by Chu Yunyang?

Although he already had the answer in his heart, as long as the last layer of window paper had not been broken, Chen Mingtang still held a glimmer of hope deep in his heart - perhaps all this was just a misunderstanding, perhaps it was not the Chu family, but someone else...

As long as the Chu family doesn't take action, he still has some room for maneuver.

Therefore, no matter what the result is, he must first find out the truth of the matter. Only in this way can he judge whether he needs to alarm the reclusive boss in the capital.

His biggest barrier.
