The King of Special Warfare

Regarding the arrival of Li Tianlan and Dongcheng Wudi, although the Chen family tried their best to conceal something, they still showed extremely strong hostility and great fear inadvertently.

The residence of the Chen family is not too far from the city center. It is a Chinese-style garden with an area of ​​less than 20 mu. It used to be the residence of a certain prime minister of the former dynasty, which matched Chen Fangqing's identity. It is said that Chen Fangqing I fell in love with this place at first glance, and took my family over when I was the deputy prime minister, and turned this prime minister's mansion into an antique but modern and comfortable Yuanlin. About seven years ago, This mansion was bought by Haoyue Group for 1.2 billion. This area combined with the past history of this mansion and the fact that it is in Youzhou, this price can be said to be not expensive, but Youzhou is not too expensive either. It is a disadvantage.

Chen Fangqing's body is currently parked in the main hall of the mansion.

When Li Tianlan and the others rushed over, a large group of people came out to welcome them. What is rare is that except for Chen Fangqing, the other eight directors are currently in Youzhou. Dongcheng Wudi and Zou Mulin are with Li Tianlan. The six of them, including Li Huacheng, all appeared in Li Tianlan's sight at this time.

But it was not Li Huacheng who walked in the front and center.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties. His appearance was slightly similar to Chen Fangqing's. He was slightly fat and wore a pair of glasses. A little sluggish, obviously he has not reacted to the news of Chen Fangqing's sudden death.

When shaking hands with Li Tianlan, his arms trembled violently. The almost numb pain seemed to become active the moment he saw Li Tianlan. The pain was changing, mixed with deep resentment and jealousy. He looked as if he was going to throw Li Tianlan down and bite him to death at any time.

But in the end he didn't dare to do anything, and even lowered his head quietly to hide his eyes.

Li Tianlan sized him up, narrowed his eyes, and remained calm.

He naturally knows the person in front of him. After Chen Fangqing, he can basically be regarded as the pillar of the entire Chen family. This is Chen Fangqing's biological son, and also Chen Fangqing's successor in Central Continent. Governor of Cloud Province.

He is just thirty-eight years old this year, standing in this position, it can be said that he has a bright future.

Moreover, being adjusted to this position a year ago is enough to show Chen Fangqing's good intentions.

The general election is only close to a year away.

After the general election, regardless of whether Chen Fangqing retires or not, the major groups will adjust their existing personnel. Some will go up, some will go down, some will leave, and some will stay. Before and after the general election, there are always turbulent times. placed in the position of president,

After the general election, the two-year red line has just passed, and the prince group can definitely make Chen Xi take a step forward, leave Nanyun, and become the speaker of a certain province.

What is Chen Xi's position in the Prince Group?

Judging from his age and position, it is already clear at a glance.

Now Zou Yuanshan, who has attracted much attention in the new group and is even considered to be very likely to become the president in more than ten or twenty years, is 38 years old this year and serves as the speaker in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Wang Jingxin, who is almost as famous as Zou Yuanshan in the southeast group, is thirty-six years old this year and serves as the governor of Jianghuai.

Chen Xi is thirty-eight years old this year and is the speaker of Nanyun Province. If everything goes well, Chen Xi's position will change again as soon as Chen Fangqing steps down after the general election, or even before Chen Fangqing steps down. In terms of personnel structure, Chen Xi is likely to go to Tianfu Province to serve as the chairman of the council, take the road that Chen Fangqing took to reach the sky, from Tianfu to the southwest, enter the parliament, and eventually compete with Zou Yuanshan, Wang Jingxin and others for the positions of the directors .

Zou Yuanshan, Wang Jingxin, Chen Xi...

Such people, if there are no big accidents, then their road is destined to sing all the way, there may be challenges, there may be setbacks, there will be ups and downs, but they will all reach a dizzying position in the end , what they are fighting for is just the ranking issue.

But now...

The big surprise really happened.

If Chen Fangqing hadn't passed away, even if he retired early, it wouldn't be a big problem. The Chen family might suffer heavy losses, and Chen Fangqing's reputation might be ruined, but the Prince Group would definitely keep Chen Xi. Extremely perfect, that is the perfection that the Prince Group has spent countless resources to pave the way for. He is one of the core successors of the big group, and now he has reached the position of sprinting towards the provincial speaker, which means that there is no It is impossible to give up on him, nor allow him to stumble, because there is not enough time and resources within the group to train other successors.

So as long as Chen Fangqing is still there, even if he doesn't have any job, Chen Xi will be able to stabilize his position in the future. After one year, he will go to Tianfu, and after six years, he will be in charge of the Southwest. The Chen family will regain its former glory.

But Chen Fangqing died.

It was very sudden, without any warning signs, and the death was inexplicable, inexplicable, and bewildering.

Chen Xi did not believe at all that his father's death was an accident.

He talked with his father on the phone after receiving the news of the decisive battle in Beihai at noon yesterday. At that time, Chen Fangqing was suppressing great unwillingness and anger in his heart, but his attitude was still positive. His body has always been in good health. Time, how could it just go by like this?

Li Tianlan.

It can only be Li Tianlan!

It can only be a new group.

No matter whether Chen Xi still has enough reason, no matter whether he can see that the new group's attack at this time is extremely unfavorable to their own situation, Chen Xi has always firmly believed that it was Li Tianlan who killed his father.

Because that's the only possible explanation.

Since it is unique, no matter how absurd it is, this uniqueness is the truth.

The moment he saw Li Tianlan, Chen Xi was suddenly plunged into immense hatred and rage, but when he saw Li Tianlan's eyes, all the hatred and rage seemed to be frozen.

The other party's gaze was calm and indifferent, like a basin of cold water without the slightest temperature, freezing all the blood in his body in an instant.

Fear and cold thoroughly seeped into his bone marrow.

Only then did Chen Xi remember her identity.

Or rather, he remembered his job.

His job is to...

Governor of Nanyun Province.

Nanyun Province.

The Nanyun Province next to Tiannan!

The rapid development of Xuanyuan City over the past two years is inseparable from the East Palace's own funds and the support of the Shengshi Fund hidden behind the scenes at that time, but this is not all. Many plans need to be discussed in the parliament. Among the materials in batches, there are also some strictly controlled things. It is not impossible for the Shengshi Fund and the East Palace to get these things out, but if you want to build a city first with the plan of building a province, you need a huge amount of materials. Relying on the support of Zhongzhou.

All materials must pass through Nanyun Province.

The materials for Xuanyuan City were also prepared first by Nanyun Province.

For more than two years, the Prince's Group and the College Party's southeast group and the wealthy group have been chasing fiercely. At the same time, they have also continuously put pressure on the East Palace and the Wang Family of Beihai. In his position, it is completely conceivable what his attitude towards the East Palace would be and what he has done.

At the very least, Chen Xi had heard some rumors secretly, and more than one high-ranking officer of the East Palace had expressed his attitude that he would be killed sooner or later.

It doesn't matter if you are angry or anything, at the very least, Chen Xi is on the blacklist of the East Palace.

If Chen Fangqing had never passed away, after one year, he would enter the Tianfu, so naturally he would not be afraid of this.

But now that Chen Fangqing died suddenly, at this moment, Chen Xi finally realized that his position as the successor of the group had been greatly shaken.

Before him are two paths, one negative and one positive.

A passive response is naturally to do nothing, expecting the group's counterattack, expecting the East Palace to fall apart, or expecting Li Tianlan to let the Chen family go under pressure.

Strictly speaking, Li Tianlan doesn't have any hatred for the Prince Group. The outcome of the game is at most limited to enmity, not to the point of hatred. If you lose this time in the game, you will naturally have a chance to get it back next time.

All his murderous intentions were focused on Chen Fangqing. Strictly speaking, the plunder and suppression of the Prince Group had nothing to do with Li Tianlan's personal will, but the basic appeal of the new group's rise.

This appeal, in the analysis of many people, can be overwhelming.

The death of Chen Fangqing has undoubtedly put Li Tianlan under great pressure. Perhaps because of the pressure, he may not do anything to the Chen family for the sake of the new group. In this way, Chen Xi thinks that he can survive this most difficult period. With the death of his father, he regained his footing.

On this road, the only thing he can expect is that Li Tianlan will let the Chen family go due to excessive pressure.

The positive path is the exact opposite.

That is to use the news of his father's death to maximize his influence and run around. Now the Prince Group is like a powder keg that explodes at a single point. If he comes forward, he is 90% sure that he can completely unite most of the forces of the prince group in the shortest possible time.

This force may not be mainly focused on him, but it is definitely aimed at Li Tianlan.

This is also the situation that the academics hope to see. Once he does this, the academics will respond to his actions immediately. At that time, the Special Operations Group and the Southeast Group may join in, targeting Dongcheng Invincible, Li Tianlan, and them The group behind it made them make various compromises.

It is very easy to succeed in this way.

And this so-called success is just about getting Li Tianlan to compromise.

To what extent can Li Tianlan compromise and stop targeting the Chen family, Chen Xi is not sure.

And once he did this, as the source of all incidents, the Chen family would inevitably incur even stronger hatred from the entire East Palace.

This also means that on this road, he will stand directly at the forefront, standing on the opposite side of the young Eastern Emperor, and challenge his majesty head-on.

Yes, it is majesty.

Chen Xi felt that it was not an exaggeration to use this word to describe Li Tianlan.

In the eyes of many people, he is the pride of heaven.

In the eyes of certain people, he is a child.

In Qin Weibai's eyes, he is her husband.

In the eyes of people in the East Palace, he is His Majesty.

But in the eyes of all Li Tianlan's current enemies, the current Li Tianlan is invincible.

The world is invincible, and the majesty of nature is irresistible.

Chen Xi wanted to take this path, but he asked himself countless times, but he never felt that he had the courage to stand in front of Li Tianlan.

Moreover, even if he really did this, if Li Tianlan compromised many things at that time, but insisted on destroying the Chen family, Chen Xi was not sure how many people would be able to speak for him.

As long as Li Tianlan is willing to compromise and give up some resources, then the Prince Group will have the possibility to re-select a successor. Although it is only a possibility, it is not a chance, but such a possibility exists, and it is better than nothing.

Li Tianlan and the East Palace have grown to the present level. For the Prince Group, it is natural to want to get rid of them as soon as possible, but for the Southeast Group and the Academy School, they are very happy to suppress the New Group and the East Palace. After destroying the East Palace and the New Group, these two groups must retreat faster than anyone else.

Therefore, Li Tianlan will always have a place in the uppermost society of Central Continent.

Many people will suppress him.

Li Tianlan would compromise, but no matter how he compromised, he still had to find someone to vent his anger on.

When all the dust settles, the Chen family is undoubtedly the most suitable target for sacrifice.

And such a thing is also the most likely.

Chen Xi didn't dare to do this.

But if he continues to wait passively, what will happen after Li Tianlan passes through this most difficult period?

At that time, the strength of the Prince Group will be greatly weakened. Chen Xi is one of the successors of the Prince Group, but he is not the only one. The size of the Prince Group is enough to train two future Central Continent directors, and Chen Xi is just one of them.

When the weakened Prince Group continues to weaken, it is impossible for them to replace both successors in the short term. Therefore, it is the most sensible behavior to give up one and fully support the other.

Chen Xi will also be given up.

Right around the time of the election.

He will also leave Nagumo.

But instead of going to Tianfu, he went to Youzhou, gave him a casual job, and waited for a few more years. When no one paid attention to him, the East Palace would also attack him.

Chen Xi suddenly realized that he had no choice, no matter how he chose, the Chen family seemed to be facing a dead end.

Resentment, unwillingness, fear, coldness, all emotions turned into enormous pressure, crushing Chen Xi's spine.

He held Li Tianlan's hand stiffly, and he didn't even realize that he had bent down, and hatred was still shining in his eyes.

A hazy voice sounded in my ears, it was Li Tianlan's voice, faint, sounding without any emotion, no superficial grief, and no superficial pleasure: "I am very sorry, for the whole of Central Continent, the death of the Prime Minister is very important. It's a huge loss..."

The sound became more and more indistinct.

Chen Xi couldn't hear clearly, he held Li Tianlan's palm, his body was shaking, and at noon when the sky was full of snow, his body fell heavily to the ground.

"Call an ambulance, someone's passed out..."

The people in the Chen family were in chaos, and some staff members started making phone calls.

In the noisy atmosphere, Li Tianlan shook hands with everyone in the Chen family one by one.

His face is expressionless.

No one in the Chen family had the courage to look into his eyes.

Li Tianlan shook hands with everyone in the Chen family coldly, expressing condolences, Li Huacheng and other directors just watched quietly, this kind of condolences was more like a demonstration to some extent, Li Huacheng and Hua Zhengyang did not move sensuality.

On the side, Guo Wentian's eyes flashed a blazing and angry fire.

Zhou Yunhai remained calm.

Wan Qingyun and Ji Wenwen's eyes flickered, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.

Dongcheng Wudi and Zou Mulin walked in front of Li Tianlan, as calm as water, as if they didn't notice Li Tianlan's posture behind them at all.

It wasn't until he shook hands with one of Chen Fangqing's nephews that Li Tianlan shook his hands casually. A few sword intents rose out of thin air and solidified into ice in Li Tianlan's hands.

This blatant act of washing hands made everyone in the Chen family extremely embarrassed.

All the directors were watching this scene, but no one spoke.

They all knew what Li Tianlan's action meant.

This is tantamount to explaining a problem to them nakedly.

The affairs of the Chen family are not over yet.

Is this an expression of determination?

Li Huacheng sighed inwardly, looked at Li Tianlan who was walking in front of him, and reached out to hold him together.

"too suddenly."

Li Tianlan said.

"Yeah, everyone is unprepared. The prime minister has always been in good health. I just checked the data records of the health care doctor for the past six months. The prime minister's blood pressure has only been slightly high in recent months. Who knows..."

Li Huacheng shook his head with complicated eyes.

"Is this an accident?"

Li Tianlan looked into Li Huacheng's eyes and asked.

Li Huacheng froze slightly and did not speak.

This question is too direct.

Said it was not an accident? That means he thought Chen Fangqing's death was a murder.

Said it was an accident?

That means that in his attitude, this matter has nothing to do with Li Tianlan.

No matter how he expresses his position, it is inappropriate for Li Huacheng.

"The forensics are still studying, it is still unclear."

Li Huacheng said vaguely.

Li Tianlan nodded: "Where is the prime minister's body? I also brought a doctor, maybe he can draw some conclusions."

"oh?"

Li Huacheng glanced at Li Tianlan, a little playful.

"Look at the body, isn't it against the law?"

Li Tianlan said something lightly and beckoned.

Xuanyuan Wushang, who was walking at the back, quickened his pace slightly and stood beside Li Tianlan.

Li Huacheng hesitated for a while, then nodded: "Come with me."

Li Huacheng hummed, greeted the other directors, and went straight to the main hall.

Chen Fangqing's body was lying on a bed, covered all over.

Xuanyuan Wushang glanced at Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan nodded.

Xuanyuan Wushang took two steps forward, and casually lifted the covering from the body.

Chen Fangqing closed his eyes, looking very peaceful. If you don't look at the color of his skin, he looks like he is asleep.

With his back to Li Tianlan and Li Huacheng, Xuanyuan Wushang narrowed his eyes.

There was an incomparably pure light in his eyes, as if he could see through everything.

That kind of light shone more and more in his eyes, and his pupils gradually shrank, but the expression on his face began to become puzzled, and the doubt gradually turned into solemnity and seriousness, and finally turned into fear and fear.

He looked at Chen Fangqing for nearly five minutes.

The covering was put down again by him.

"how?"

Li Tianlan, who had been standing in place chatting with Li Huacheng and making Li Huacheng unable to do extra movements, asked casually.

"No surprises."

Xuanyuan Wushang was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "This is a natural death."

No one could see his expression.

Obviously, this is not true.

But this is the only thing Xuanyuan Wushang can know.

From Chen Fangqing's body, he could vaguely feel that something was wrong. This feeling was vague, but his instinct told him that such a death was definitely not a normal death.

But the problem is...

Xuanyuan Wushang knew that this was not a normal death, but he didn't know how abnormal such a death was.

Not at all.
