Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

The night is as dark as ink, with twinkling stars, as if countless gentle eyes are gazing at the world.

The capital's police station building was not peaceful on this quiet night.

The echo of the ministry meeting had not yet faded, and the lights in Chief Patrolman Zhao Jianping's office were still bright, illuminating his slightly tired face.

Having just finished a tense meeting, he picked up the thermos cup, and the hot water in the cup seemed to bring him a sense of warmth and comfort.

However, just as he was taking a sip of hot tea, trying to relax his tense nerves, the private cell phone on the table suddenly rang. The ringtone was rapid and shrill, breaking the silence in the room.

He frowned, put down the thermos cup, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button. His father Zhao Wenyuan's furious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Zhao Jianping, you two are so stupid that you came up with such a clumsy idea!"

Zhao Jianping was stunned, and the thermos cup in his hand almost slipped. He quickly calmed down and responded, "Dad, what did you say? Why don't I understand?"

Zhao Wenyuan on the other end of the phone obviously did not soften his tone because of his son's question. Instead, his voice became even louder: "Don't you know what your own son and his subordinates did? They went to Chu Yuchen's bar to cause trouble. Now the two sides are confronting each other at the door of the bar. The whole thing has caused a lot of trouble. Let's see how you can clean up this mess!"

Zhao Jianping's heart sank suddenly, and he felt a pain in his temple. Although Zhao Wenyuan's words were not very clear, he had a rough idea in his mind.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm and sort out his thoughts: "Dad, I really don't know about this matter. I will investigate it right away."

After ending the call, Zhao Jianping immediately called his secretary and asked him to check what Zhao Hongjie was doing now.

"Sir, Young Master Zhao and Young Master Zhu had a quarrel with Chu Yuchen at the entrance of ONETHIRD bar tonight... Chu Yuchen then slapped Young Master Zhu twice, and then a director from the first bureau of the department led a team to appear at ONETHIRD bar..."

Soon, the secretary reported the information he had obtained to Zhao Jianping truthfully.

"madness!"

Zhao Jianping slammed the desk with his right hand, making a loud "bang" sound, which almost made the documents on the desk fall to the ground.

His face was gloomy and his eyes were flashing with anger. It was unclear whether he was scolding his son or that stupid subordinate.

The secretary standing by was silent as a mouse, not daring to make a sound, for fear of angering his angry boss.

I really agree with Zhao Jianping's point of view.

It was a shame that Zhao Hongjie once praised himself as the best of the younger generation in Daxia, but ended up with such a lame show.

It seems that he was arranged to be gilded on the ground and became stupid. He went to provoke Young Master Chu and did not even ask about Young Master Chu's past deeds. This is a person who does not act according to common sense. Now he is in a dilemma. No matter how this matter ends, I am afraid that the Zhao family will be hated by the Chu family.

The secretary's guess was correct.

When he was in the capital, under the watchful eyes of his father and grandfather, Zhao Hongjie was a well-behaved boy compared to those dandy young men who relied on their family's power to do evil things without restraint.

As the third-generation heir of the Zhao family, when he arrived at the local area, he was surrounded by the Zhao family's affiliated forces. He felt like a fish in water and did not suffer any setbacks.

He was very dissatisfied with Young Master Chu, a prince who entered the industry late and now had much more reputation and power than him.

I always want to seize the opportunity to save Chu Yuchen's face.

Zhao Jianping felt more and more headache. After hearing what his son said last night, he thought he had some good way to make Chu Yuchen lose face and strike a blow to the Chu family's arrogance.

The result was a direct failure without any technical content.

I don’t know what kind of experience I had during these three years.

You said you wanted to check Chu Yuchen's bar, so you could just ask your subordinates to do it. Why bother showing up in person?

This is like using a loud speaker to tell everyone that the Zhao family is dissatisfied with the Chu family and wants to declare war on them.

How stupid.

But no matter how much I think about it, this matter still needs to be dealt with.

The authority of the police station must be guaranteed, even if it is just a formality, we have to go to the ONETHIRD bar.

Zhao Jianping sat back in his office chair, frowning, rubbing his temples with both hands, and told the secretary: "You go in person to coordinate with Chu Yuchen and tell him that the department is just doing a routine inspection and is not targeting anyone."

The secretary was stunned when he received this instruction.

Chu Yuchen clearly showed no respect for the General Police Office. How could a small secretary like him solve the problem?

If things don't turn around by then, it's your "boss" who will be lost.

Instead of getting the resounding response the secretary had imagined, Zhao Jianping raised his head, squinted his eyes, and slowly said to the hesitant secretary, "You go first. I'll make arrangements here."

After hearing what Zhao Jianping said, the hesitation on the secretary's face eased a little. He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and replied, "I understand, sir. I will do my best to complete your instructions."

Zhao Jianping nodded and added: "Remember, the purpose of your visit is to maintain the dignity of the law and the credibility of the police station. We are not going to be enemies with anyone, but to ensure that everyone abides by the rules.

You need to convey this message to Chu Yuchen, and let him know that our position is for the public good, not out of personal grudges."

The secretary nodded and walked out of the office with heavy steps.

But he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Even ordinary people wouldn't believe such words, so would Young Master Chu believe it?

In other words, I am Zhao Jianping's secretary, and I am a member of the Zhao family. There is no way for me to change camp. Otherwise, he would have wanted to show his loyalty directly to the Chu family.

After the secretary left, Zhao Jianping leaned back on the sofa again, closed his eyes and pressed his temples with both hands, then sat up straight, with hesitation and unwillingness mixed on his face.

After all, I am on the same level as Chu Yunyang, but now I have to call him to beg for mercy. It's really...

However, if they don't bow their heads, and the matter escalates, the Zhao family and the General Police Station will suffer even more disgrace.

As the head of the Zhao family and the chief of the police station, the prestige he had accumulated over decades of official career might no longer exist.

This was a devastating blow to the entire Zhao family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jianping no longer hesitated and picked up the red phone on the desk.

Only those who can bend and stretch can be called a real man!

To comfort himself, Zhao Jianping called Chu Yunyang's office.
