Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

For the first time, Chen Mingtang hated his ability to "predict things like a god".

When he heard his secretary report again that the military personnel were the same group that occupied Longyanghu Police Station yesterday, he leaned weakly in his chair.

After a while, he waved his hand and asked the secretary to go out.

Beijing.

Western Hills.

In a mountain villa in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, an old man who is already over 70 years old and frail is walking in the garden with the help of staff.

The scenery in the garden was pleasant, with green trees and fragrant flowers. Li Wenyuan walked slowly, breathing the fresh air, and his mood became relaxed and happy.

"Mr. Li, your health has been much better recently than before." The staff member said with a smile.

Li Wenyuan smiled slightly and shook his head: "It's just a way to keep going. One day, you might not be able to get up. You will just be a pile of ashes under the yellow earth."

"You are joking..."

The staff member spoke cautiously, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

The two people continued walking in silence until a middle-aged man appeared behind them.

"Is something wrong?"

Li Wenyuan turned around. The pressure from being in a superior position for a long time made the middle-aged man lower his waist by two inches. He asked in a hoarse voice.

"Chen Mingtang from Qing Province called to say hello!"

The middle-aged man replied softly.

"Humph!"

Li Wenyuan snorted heavily and said disdainfully: "If he is fine, would he call me to say hello? He is such an ungrateful person."

Li Wenyuan sat on the rattan chair brought by the staff and said in a calm tone: "Tell me, what is he asking for this time?"

"He has offended the Chu family this time... I hope you can mediate and let the Chu family let them go."

The middle-aged man reported to Li Wenyuan what he knew about the conflict between the two families.

Li Wenyuan was angry at his lack of resistance and said, "The Chen family of Qinghai is really getting worse with each generation."

Then, he complained again: "I don't know what kind of temper Chu Wanjiang has. He is a military thug who protects his own son. Will he just let it go when his granddaughter-in-law is arrested and taken to the police station? If the old guy was still in power a few years ago, he would probably send troops to arrest all the Chen family members."

"As far as I know, Mr. Chu is not aware of this incident."

The middle-aged man answered Zhao Wenyuan's questions carefully, as if he was afraid of saying a wrong word.

"Oh!"

Zhao Wenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of surprise, and asked, "Then, could it be that Chu Yunyang did it? But Chu Yunyang is just a civilian official, he can't have any soldiers at all."

"It's not Lord Chu Yunyang, but General Chu Yuchen." The middle-aged man hurriedly corrected.

"The Chu family's young tiger!"

Hearing this name, Zhao Wenyuan couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Although he had retired to the second line for many years, he often heard about the deeds of Mr. Chu.

Zhao Wenyuan slowly closed his eyes and leaned back in the rattan chair, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

However, the staff who were familiar with him knew that he was not really asleep at this moment, but was lost in thought.

Time passed minute by minute. The middle-aged man stood aside, not daring to make any sound, for fear of disturbing Zhao Wenyuan's thoughts.

The garden was silent and quiet, as if time had stopped.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Zhao Wenyuan finally and slowly opened his eyes.

A cold light suddenly flashed in his originally cloudy eyes.

He gave an order to the middle-aged man beside him: "Go and reply to Chen Mingtang and tell him that I will do my best to deal with this matter, but no matter what the final result is, tell him not to call me again in the future!"

"Ok."

The middle-aged man simply responded, indicating that he understood.

Then, Zhao Wenyuan continued, "Also, you should contact Da Nei immediately. I need to visit godfather in person."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, but then he understood Zhao Wenyuan's intention.

In today's Great Xia Kingdom, perhaps the only one who can make the Chu family lay down their butcher knives is Godfather.

As for why he didn't go and discuss a solution with Chu Wanjiang, Zhao Wenyuan knew it very well - with Chu Wanjiang's protective character, going to him would only bring trouble.

……

West Market.

Young Master Chu, who had not slept all night, was still in high spirits.

In his temporary office, he was flipping through the files in his hands.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Young Master Chu responded without even raising his head.

"Boss Chu, this is the interrogation data of 28 officials."

Wu Qingzhu walked into the office with a stack of documents in both hands and gently placed them on Young Master Chu's desk.

"Have you confessed everything?"

Chu Yuchen raised his eyebrows, put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, looked at Wu Qingzhu and asked.

"Yes."

Wu Qingzhu nodded: "After continuous interrogation, in the face of our strong evidence, they all confessed their corruption, abuse of power, favoritism and fraud, as well as all the crimes they committed with Chen Lin that could not be exposed to the public."

"very good."

Young Master Chu took out a thick file from the drawer expressionlessly, flipped through a few pages, and then slammed it heavily on the table. He stared sharply at Wu Qingzhu opposite him and said in a low and firm voice:

"Contact Mr. Lin immediately and ask him to issue an arrest warrant for Chen Lin. Notify Jian Qiang and Gong Xiaochuan to make preparations in advance and come with me to meet Chen Batian from Qing Province."

Hearing what Master Chu said, Wu Qingzhu couldn't help but reveal a trace of astonishment. She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Are we going to have a showdown with them now? Is it too hasty to do so? Will it alert the enemy?"

Young Master Chu raised his lips slightly, revealing a confident smile. He slowly stood up, stretched his body which was slightly stiff due to sitting for a long time, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and replied calmly: "With these solid evidences, it is enough to arrest Chen Lin... As for what you said about alerting the enemy.

At the latest this morning, the Chen family knew about our actions, so it’s time to show our cards.”

Then, Young Master Chu continued, "It is exactly ten o'clock now. We have half an hour to prepare and we will set off on time at ten-thirty."

"Understood, I'll notify the others right away."

Wu Qingzhu nodded, turned around and left in a hurry.
