Her father, Moon Jae-yoon, has been under accusations, investigations, and searches since he stepped down, and is still under the purge from Lee Geon-ok and other chaebol forces.

Moon Jae-yin also represents the government's remaining power and the last lingering force of the country's political power.

These things have influenced Wen Tingxiu's entire life. Even now, she still regards Li Jianyue as her biggest enemy.

Therefore, whether before or after awakening, she has been working hard to improve herself.

He was cautious in his words and actions towards outsiders, and wrapped himself in a cold demeanor, for fear of becoming a means of attack by political opponents.

And now the biggest enemy in her life suddenly appeared in front of her, it was no wonder that she was so unbelievable and a little out of control.

"Have I caused trouble for you?" Wen Tingxiu murmured.

Zhao Cheng hugged her slender waist and did not answer. Instead, he asked several questions in succession:

"First, has he ever used similar methods or behaviors to eliminate political enemies?"

“Second, has his style of doing things always been this radical?”

"Third, how much benefit does this matter bring to him?"

But Zhao Cheng silently added a question in his mind: "If I didn't die in the explosion, would he have any backup plan?"

Tingxiu has already understood that this could not be an attack against her. This is not in line with Li Jianyue's methods and style, not to mention exchanging herself for an heir.

So... "Why would he target you?" Tingxiu asked subconsciously.

Zhao Cheng spread his hands. This was also something that puzzled him. After thinking for a while, he said:

"So this time, we can only bite our teeth and accept it? Don't say that we don't have evidence. Even if we have evidence, we can't bring him down, let alone retaliate."

Tingxiu nodded subconsciously, but felt that Zhao Cheng's tone was a little wrong, and said:

"We really don't have a better way to deal with him. Even if you have that kind of monstrous strength, the people around you don't have it."

Tingxiu looked at the girls lying on the bed and continued:

"Once you are identified as a criminal or terrorist, WS Group will no longer support you. Even if Park Tae-yong wants to, the board of directors will not agree. You will become the enemy of the entire country, and all forces will be directed against you and the people around you."

Zhao Cheng nodded in understanding: "So where does he like to live most?"

Tingxiu was anxious and grabbed Zhao Cheng's arm: "Are you listening to me? Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the people around you, right?"

"What about you? Why don't you come with me?" Zhao Cheng asked instead of answering.

Tingxiu's hands suddenly clenched his arms tightly: "You can't force me like this! You are gambling with me, my father, and all the pro-government forces! Do you know how many people will die?"

After saying that, he hugged Zhao Cheng and begged:

"You can't go! At least not now. Wait a little longer, okay? Wait until we transfer everyone away, wait until my father and I become enemies, okay?"

Then he turned to Hai Yun and said, "You should also persuade him not to act on his own."

Haiyun just looked at Zhao Cheng with her big eyes and did not answer Tingxiu's words, but her attitude was obvious.

Zhao Cheng smiled and gently stroked Tingxiu's long crimson hair: "It's not as serious as you think."

He stretched out his finger and placed it on Tingxiu's beautiful red lips, blocking her from saying anything else: "Listen to me."

"The biggest failure of you and your father is that you always compete with each other using your weaknesses. When it comes to resource control, field penetration, and media discourse power, you have lagged behind the capital group from a very early stage, not to mention that the other side has the support of foreign forces behind it."

"You want to take back your power, but you are going in the wrong direction. I guess your father has realized this and may have made changes."

"What do these chaebols fear the most? They fear things outside the rules. Or, in other words, all vested interest groups naturally hate things outside the rules the most."

"So there must be some characteristics or tendencies in me that Li Jianyue doesn't want to see, so he wants to get rid of me at all costs."

Having said that, Zhao Cheng looked up at the sky.

"But if the price exceeds what he can accept, then the situation will be reversed. He will be the first to compromise. This is determined by his class attributes and has nothing to do with his personal will."

Seeing that Tingxiu still looked unconvinced, he thought that after all, the other party had never learned the Dragon Slaying Technique since childhood, so it might be difficult for her to understand. He simply concluded:

"So if I compromise this time, the threats you made will become more numerous and even more severe. Have you heard of these two sayings?"

"There is a saying: If you fight for peace, it will survive; if you compromise for peace, it will die. Another saying is to strike the first blow, so as to prevent a hundred blows from coming."

Tingxiu seemed to understand what he said, but she seemed to have heard these two sentences somewhere before, as if her father had mentioned them accidentally at the dinner table once.

The author says:

Author's Notes: This chapter was difficult to write because some things were too sensitive, and some of them couldn't be said too much and would take up too much space.

For example, in reality, many of Moon Jae-in’s policies cannot be separated from class attributes, so that he finally had to compromise before stepping down.

For example, he is still being liquidated, but he is very cautious and smart, leaving very little evidence, so he can protect himself until now.

For example, what the capital groups fear the most and what they are most worried about, so much so that they recently collectively bombarded a certain supermarket.

Chapter 273 Judgment

Zhao Cheng hugged Tingxiu, looked into her ruby eyes and said:

"Don't worry, you've never seen me not take your comfort to heart. If the other party is really crazy enough to not care about anything, then..." Zhao Cheng pointed to the sky.

"There should have been missiles dropping outside the manor long ago, or even nuclear bombs. There's no way we could have survived this long."

Tingxiu thought carefully about Zhao Cheng's words, and couldn't help but feel convinced, but she still hugged him tightly out of concern, fearing that if she let go, Zhao Cheng would run away in the direction she least wanted to see like a wild horse.

Zhao Cheng lowered his head, kissed Tingxiu on the forehead, stroked her crimson hair and said:

"Shall we make a bet? Let's bet that if I show off my muscles this time, I'll return safely."

"What's the point of this kind of betting?! Why would I bet that you wouldn't come back? Anyway, I just don't want you to go." Tingxiu pouted, and her beautiful face showed a rare temper.

"Then," Zhao Cheng pinched her cheek, picked her up and walked two steps towards the door, put his mouth close to her crystal ear, and whispered:

"Let's bet that Li Jianyue is trying to deal with me or the people around me. Ask Haiyun yourself. I won't interfere with the result. Let her give you the answer."

Tingxiu shrank a little ticklishly, and saw that Zhao Cheng had let go of her and walked out the door.

Tingxiu thought for a while, thinking about how to ask the question, and walked towards Haiyun.

......

Li Jianyue sat on the sofa, poured a cup of tea for the other party, and said, "You have been hard-working recently, right?"

Kim Ji-woo, director of the National Intelligence Service, stood up with awe, bent over and holding a teacup, and said respectfully: "We are all working to share the country's worries, there is no such thing as hard work."

"Look, sit down and let's chat slowly." Li Jianyue put down the teapot and said with a smile.

"Yes." Jin Zhiyu said and sat down.

"Come and have a taste. This is said to be the top quality Da Hong Pao specially supplied there. It is extremely rare and in short supply."

Li Jianyue picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing this, Jin Zhiyu also took a sip of the tea. Although he didn't feel any good about it, he closed his eyes and enjoyed it just the same, only glancing at the other person out of the corner of his eye.

After waiting for Li Jianyue to open his eyes, he praised it appropriately: "It is indeed mellow and fragrant, strong and full of power, smooth and sweet in the throat, and the aftertaste is thirst-quenching, long and soft. It is indeed a good tea."

It’s no secret that SX Group Chairman Li Jianyue loves tea, so he certainly made adequate preparations.

Li Jianyue smiled happily: "Dean Jin really knows tea. Come here, this bag is for you."

After saying that, he took out a small golden tea bag from under the coffee table and handed it over.

The tea is indeed Dahongpao, but it is not some special premium product. However, leaders always have to reveal some of their preferences in order to get people around them to respond, right?

Jin Zhiyu carefully put away the tea bag and said, "This is too expensive. Don't worry, I will taste it carefully when I get back."

The position of the Intelligence Agency is very awkward now. It is clearly responsible for national security, but its subordinate Special Affairs Department, Central Intelligence Department, and National Security Planning Department are not under the jurisdiction of the director.

In other words, although on paper he, as the dean, was in charge, in reality he was just issuing routine documents.

The Director of the National Intelligence Service has been reduced to a mascot.

Li Jianyue leaned back in his chair, crossed one leg, and said in a relaxed manner: "Drink slowly. I have more when you finish. Come and get it anytime."

Jin Zhiyu's eyes lit up and he kept saying, "Of course, of course."

This obviously means that he wants to come and report on his work frequently, but I don’t know what he wants to do with this mascot of his.

"You have handled this matter in the church very well recently. This situation cannot be tolerated and it cannot affect the safety of the entire society." Li Jianyue said casually.

"But I heard that Park Wangcheng is very ill and is in a coma?"

Jin Zhiyu secretly complained in his heart, shouldn’t they be the ones who know the most about the chaebols?

But he responded, "Yes, the new President Park is still very sad and hates the church's showmanship even more."

"Yes." Li Jianyue's tone was somewhat emotional: "Pu Wangcheng's illness was too sudden. The new little guy must have had a hard time."

Jin Zhiyu didn't dare to reply. The little guy said such words only to the person in front of him.

But I felt more and more uneasy, and I already had a premonition of the purpose of his visit today.

"The original intention of setting up the Intelligence Agency is not only to deal with external affairs, but also internal affairs. You should pay more attention to changes in the situation, especially these older generations. Don't you agree?"

Jin Zhiyu's cold sweat ran down his temples, and the tea bag in his arms became hot.

"As for the church incident, I heard that it was caused by two young people. Young people are not stable, so we should help share some of the burden, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Jin Zhiyu now wishes he could get sick as soon as he goes out so that he can resign from his position. When these two behemoths collide, who can guarantee that he, who is caught in the middle, will be safe?

Li Jianyue picked up the teacup on the table again, blew away the hot air leisurely, and took a sip:

"I also met with UN President Cha Hyun Hyuk these two days. He is actually very concerned about Park Wang Sung's condition. After all, we are old friends. Oh, by the way..."

Li Jianyue said as if he had just remembered, "SG Group's Vice Chairman Cui Xianjun is here too. As a young man, he is very respectful and caring towards his seniors."

Jin Zhiyu felt the blood rushing up. It seemed that he had nothing to worry about. Even if he was just a pawn, he would be in the sight of the three chaebols from now on. Would his future be bad?

He said excitedly, "Don't worry, I will take action as soon as I get back and will definitely convey your concern to you."

Li Jianyue nodded in satisfaction, picked up the teacup and sipped the tea without saying anything else. Seeing this, Jin Zhiyu tactfully said goodbye and left.

Li Jianyue watched him respectfully close the door and leave, then put the teacup back on the table.

Whether there is a chance to dismember the WS Group or not, this is a good test. Can Park Tae-yong stabilize the situation of WS? Will his alliance with Zhao Cheng be so strong?

If Zhao Cheng loses Park Tae-yong's support, and has no social status and WS's financial support, what good is it if he is strong? Can he just steal or rob?

Chapter 274 Shock

Li Jianyue leisurely picked up the teapot and poured out a cup of tea.

It would be great if Zhao Cheng really started stealing and robbing. How could such a person become a leader of the new century?

Moreover, they rely on their supernatural powers to commit crimes, but don’t they ever think about why this country or this world has been so stable until now?

He drank the tea in the cup, stood up with a sneer, and pressed the button on the table to call the servant to come in and clean up.

I walked to the window and admired the scenery.

When Zhao Cheng gets into trouble, just throw a few bones to him and the vicious dog will be put in a bridle.

Lust? Love of money? Love of power? Are these the problems?

After the servant finished cleaning up, he walked out and the room became quiet.

Li Jianyue looked down at the crowd below the building. This was his favorite position. Watching the activities of this group of ants would make him feel extremely happy.

The thrill of having the power of life and death always makes him addicted.

"Does it look good?"

"Of course." Li Jianyue answered subconsciously.

Then he reacted immediately and looked around in horror.

There stood a young man. Although the two had never met before, Li Jianyue recognized him at a glance.

"Zhao Cheng! Why are you here?!"

Li Jianyue widened his eyes and subconsciously ran towards the table.

Zhao Cheng did not stop him, but just said quietly: "If you press it, we won't be able to have a good chat."

After saying that, without caring about his reaction, she walked to the sofa and sat down, took out a new teacup, picked up the teapot and filled it up.

He took a sip and said, "It was picked too late, so it tastes bitter and the sweetness comes back a little slowly. The tea flavor is not fresh enough, the tea fragrance lacks the rock flavor, and the steeping time is too long."
