Ark, they don't revolve around you

When he walked into the Chief Executive's office, Zhuang Ning immediately saw the man leaning on the seat.

He is already of some age, but after all, he has the blood of the ancestors, and the signs of aging have not yet appeared on his face. Now he is dressed in a long robe, with a pipe hanging down in his hand. His eyes usually reveal laziness, but few people can look directly into his eyes.

Wei Yanwu.

When the Lord of Longmen saw that Zhuang Ning did not move, he said nothing.

Zhuang Ning didn't say anything either. He just looked at him and they both fell into silence.

Fortunately, the silent atmosphere was soon broken by a cough, which came from the girl behind Wei Yanwu.

The poem is elegant.

Zhuang Ning glanced at her - or more precisely, at her epaulettes.

I haven't seen her for a long time. She has become the director of the Longmen Guard Bureau.

Zhuang Ning felt a little emotional in his heart. He remembered Chen Huijie standing behind Wei Yanwu when he first came to Longmen and visited Wei Yanwu.

She was originally the leader of the special inspection team, but now she has given her position to Shi Huaiya.

Seeing that he seemed to only glance at herself, the girl's face twitched and she glared at him fiercely.

Zhuang Ning pretended not to see it.

The girl was stunned for a moment, thinking that this reaction was not right.

At this time, Wei Yanwu stood up with a faint smile on his face.

"It's been a long time, Doctor."

It was as if the silence just now did not exist, the two were good friends who had not seen each other for a long time, and their tone was cordial.

Zhuang Ning held the hand, still without any reaction.

"Doctor, you have indeed changed..." Wei Yanwu narrowed his eyes, "You are no longer the same as before."

"Lord Wei is the same. I heard that you will be returning to the capital of Dayan soon. You must be very happy to be home after such a long absence."

The smile on Wei Yanwu's face faded a little.

"Where did the Doctor get this information?"

"Rhodes Island is not completely ignorant of many things...especially since the Great Yan court has been cooperating with us." Zhuang Ning sat down.

This time, Wei Yanwu finally stopped leaning, and his condescending attitude disappeared. When he saw the person in front of him, he was also a little dazed.

He really became unpredictable.

"The doctor probably doesn't like small talk, let's talk business." The wrinkles on Wei Yanwu's face gathered together, "As you know, I will be returning to the capital with Wen Yue soon... We are old, and time is left for you young people after all."

"Lord Wei is still in his prime."

"Not really... I've been in Longmen for too long, and I'm really tired." Wei Yanwu was silent. "I read the report you gave me. Huijie's condition has improved. She will be completely cured in about two months."

"Yes."

"By then, she will be in charge of the entire Longmen, and I believe the cooperation with Rhodes Island will be closer. Doctor, I hope you will not let her down."

"of course."

The dialogue is so concise.

After saying that, Wei Yanwu asked Shi Huaiya to see the guest off. The scout who was acting as a guard at the side thought this was a rare thing.

He thought they would argue for a long time, but both of them seemed satisfied.

When she went outside, Shi Huaiya opened her mouth to speak, but before she could open her mouth, the walkie-talkie in her hand rang.

"Why at this moment——!" she cursed angrily.

But he still didn't move his legs. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying in a troubled tone:

"Doctor, are you free tonight?"

"Have."

"Really? Then you can come to the bar and I'll buy you a drink..." She said in a low voice with a slightly red face.

"it is good."

Shi Huaiya felt relieved immediately and smiled, without any trace of the anger she had just felt at being ignored.

"Well, I'll also call Xingxiong."

"Officer Shi...Officer Shi Huaiya." Zhuang Ning looked at her, "Are you going to deal with the gangs in the slums?"

"How do you know?" Shi Huaiya was stunned.

"Nothing." Zhuang Ning took off his mask and smiled, "Have a nice trip."

Shi Huaiya was indeed a little suspicious, but thinking that maybe someone had told him something, he didn't take it seriously.

But before leaving, the girl still shouted: "You must come, just... at the end of the earth!"

Seeing her gradually disappear, Zhuang Ning's expression faded and he put on the mask again.

"PhD?"

"Are you surprised that I agreed?" Zhuang Ning turned around and faced the scout. "After all, she is the chief of the Dragon Guard Bureau and has a lot of intelligence. I have been away from Dragon Gate for too long, so although I do know something, it would be best if I could get some information from her."

"Just to get information?" Scout couldn't help but say.

"What else?" Zhuang Ning paused and suddenly asked, "Scout, you have followed me for so long, let me test you - why do I know that Shi Huaiya just went to the slums to deal with the gang?"

Scout was speechless.

He is a battle-hardened mercenary, but he is still a little lacking in this area.

Seeing that the doctor was still looking at him, Scout gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "Did someone from the office send you a message?"

"They will send it soon, and it will be sent to you, not directly to me," said Zhuang Ning.

Scout was silent. It was indeed true. Zhuang Ning was very busy on weekdays, so all the intelligence had to be sent to Scout first, and only if it was considered valuable would it be submitted to the doctor.

How did the doctor know that?

Zhuang Ning looked at him, thought for a moment, and then said something irrelevant: "Wei Yanwu will be leaving Longmen soon. Why do you think that is?"

"Because the real dragon of Dayan is suspicious of him." Scout responded.

"Wei Yanwu has been in charge of Longmen for more than 20 years. It is indeed too long."

Zhuang Ning said calmly, "He must be favored by the court this time when he returns. The True Dragon Society will promote him to a higher position and deprive him of his real power...promotion in name only, demote him in reality, it's an old trick."

"That's it."

"Wei Yanwu must have anticipated this day. He spent four years preparing." Zhuang Ning's eyes showed no emotion. "Shi Huaiya, a young man, no matter how outstanding his abilities are or how good his family background is, how can he be qualified to be the head of the Imperial Guard? The Imperial Guard is not only responsible for public security, but also serves as an armed force."

His voice was as calm as water. "And just a year ago, the Rat King officially abdicated and gave way to Lin Yuxia... I don't deny Lin Yuxia's ability, but is she too young?"

"Scout, did you notice the commonality?"

Zhuang Ning almost made it clear, but Scout still couldn't react.

"Are they both closely related to Miss Chen?"

After all, he didn't call her by her name like Zhuang Ning did, so Zhuang Ning didn't mind.

"Shi Huaiya, Lin Yuxia... are all Chen Huijie's people." Zhuang Ning added, "This is obviously a team that Wei Yanwu specially prepared for Chen Huijie."

"Shi Huaiya controls the armed forces of Longmen, and Lin Yuxia controls the gangs in the lower city."

Scout couldn't help but sigh, "Lord Wei has been planning this for a long time."

"Yes, Wei Yanwu has already made plans. Now the downtown area is relatively stable, but the slums are still there and the conflicts have not been resolved."

Zhuang Ning's eyes were a little more playful. "Wei Yanwu also said that he hoped Rhodes Island would help Chen Huijie more. Where does Rhodes Island have the greatest influence in Longmen?"

Scout answered without thinking: "- the slums."

Then he suddenly understood why Zhuang Ning knew that Shi Huaiya would deal with the gang!

The slums are the cancer of Longmen. When Wei Yanwu was in power, he was unable to expel them for various reasons. But before leaving, he would definitely find a way to clean them up and leave a better environment for Chen Huijie!

Although he didn't say anything, he really cared about his niece.

Therefore, in the last few months, Wei Yanwu will frantically crack down on the gang forces in Longmen. After all, his political career is over, and he can swallow his pride and do something he has long wanted to do.

Everything is so logical and reasonable.

The issue is.

——The Doctor had only been at Lungmen for less than an hour, and the information he learned was all known by Scout, but Scout was totally unable to see through the direction of Lungmen like the Doctor could.

This is the most awe-inspiring thing about Zhuang Ning. He can always see directly to the core of the problem, and sometimes it is almost like a prophecy.

“The slums will be the focus and core of Longmen next.”

Zhuang Ning said in a rather deep tone, "Half of that place is the Rat King's territory, and the other half is Rhodes Island's territory. That's why Wei Yanwu told me that."

"But why should we just follow his wishes?" Zhuang Ning sneered, "Why must his people be the ones in control of Longmen?"

"Why, can't we take advantage of this opportunity?"

"Scout, I trust you... From now on, I want you to kill some people."

"They are all guilty of heinous crimes. Don't feel burdened." Zhuang Ning put his hands on his guards. Through the masks, his eyes were as sharp as steel. "I will let the Imperial Guards and Wei Yanwu know that Rhodes Island is their most loyal supporter."

"We will support whatever Wei Yanwu wants to do."

"As for what will happen after he leaves..." He really is like a snake, "I can't say..."

Scout agreed.

Despite this, I felt extremely sad.

In the past, Chen Huijie, Shi Huaiya and Lin Yuxia were all people he trusted, but now he could use them without mercy.

In his eyes, those people seemed like just cold puppets.

but.

But who made him like this?

Thinking of this, Scout nodded slightly.

"I will complete your mission, Doctor."
