Chapter 678: Undercurrents
port entrance, luxury cars of all kinds were on display. In this international metropolis, luxury vehicles from around the world competed with each other, dazzling people's eyes. However, one thing th...And at this moment, the major forces entrenched in Beijing were holding emergency meetings.
Yan Xiaote looked at the documents on the table with filial piety and without expression. The people standing below were silent, none daring to meet Yan Xiaote's cold and sharp gaze.
Those standing below were not ordinary people. Each one was a powerful figure in Beijing, either a regional overlord or the head of a department. They were influential figures in their own circles, but now before Yan Xiaoti, they had bowed their heads like schoolchildren waiting for their teacher's lecture.
"Are you sure the information is correct" Yan Xiaoti asked one last time, he was still a little hesitant to believe the data before him, because it involved too much, he had to be serious.
“We have cross-checked three times with the Personnel Bureau. The personnel changes above are absolutely true!” A man at the head of the group replied cautiously. In Yanjing City, he was the third in command. This position seemed glamorous, but it was actually a tightrope walk. Every step had to be calculated carefully, for fear of making the wrong move. You see, there were many people eyeing his position below.
And he was able to get this position precisely because of the result of his early years clinging to the big tree of the Yan family. For this, he felt very fortunate. Therefore, this time, he used his own authority to know about the personnel changes at the first time, and immediately came to pay respects to the Yan family.
"Alright, I understand. You may all go now." Yan Xiaohui waved her hand. These people seemed to have let out a breath of relief and one by one, they left in an orderly manner.
After they had left completely, Yan Wuque looked at the documents on the table and couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, why are these personnel deployments so frequent"
On the table lay files, including a personnel adjustment notice just signed by the Civil Affairs Bureau. The vast majority of names on the list were surnamed Ye, and their transferred positions were all important military posts!
"The Ye family, finally making a move!" Yan Xiaoti sighed heavily. The Ye family had been down for many years. Ever since Ye Wudao left the Ye family, the Ye family had kept a low profile. Few members of the Ye family even entered the system, avoiding attention.
Now that the Ye Family is acting so brazenly, their purpose is to tell the world about their high-profile comeback. Thinking about the Ye Family's unusual actions today, Yan Xiaoti frowned. The Ye Family, it seems, has big plans. It's time for a change of leadership. Could the Ye Family do something out of the ordinary
“Grandfather, based on Ye Jiaqiang’s attitude today, it seems that the Ye family has reached some kind of agreement with Ye Wudao. We are very passive.” What Yan Wuque said was true. They had already set a trap, but they didn't expect to be easily broken by Ye Fan. Was it his strength or luck With so many people supporting him, it wouldn't be easy to move him in the future.
“These are nothing to worry about. The Ye family has been dormant for many years after all. Even if he steps forward, it won't change the overall situation. We can just proceed with the original plan. It's that Xiao Jie who was taken away by Longya, that's a bit troublesome.”
Thinking of the shame of today, Yan Xiaoti twisted his brows tightly. The Yan family hadn't suffered such a covert attack in a long time!
"Xiaojie, after all, holds a prominent position. I wouldn't dare to touch anyone under him, even if I were from Longya."
“Wu Que, you’re wrong again. You only see the surface. This time, they brought Xiao Jie back not to deal with him, nor to use him to strike at our Yan You. If I'm right, they just want to use Xiao Jie as bait to lure out a bigger fish!” Ye Fan’s unusual behavior today made Yan Xiaoti feel uneasy.
"Are you saying... they know about what happened back then" Yan Wuxue widened his eyes. If that were true, things would be troublesome, and it could even affect the carefully laid plans they had made.
Yan Xiaote shook his head uncertainly, "I think it's probably not. If they knew, they definitely wouldn't be doing nothing now. After all, the reputation of the God of War isn't for nothing. He would definitely come charging in like he did in South Africa back then. I think they only know part of it, but the specifics are definitely unknown, otherwise they wouldn't go to such lengths to just keep Xiao Jie."
Yan Wuque listened more and more unpleasantly. If what his grandfather said was true, then this Xiao Jie would be a ticking time bomb!
"I heard that Xiao Jie came from the 9th Column" Yan Xiaoti suddenly asked this.
Although Yan Wuque was startled, he instantly understood his grandfather's meaning!
The Ninth Legion was the most important pawn the Yan family secretly laid out for future power struggles within the military. To join the Ninth Legion, one needed not only outstanding ability but also absolute loyalty. The Yan family demanded they die without hesitation if ordered to do so!
And Xiao Jie did indeed join the Ninth Column, but he had never received any great favor from the Yan family. His family's secrets were also not in the hands of the Yan family. Now, suddenly arranging for him to be sacrificed, with Xiao Jie's personality, Yan Wuxue knew that he definitely couldn't do it.
"Grandfather, things shouldn't come to this. He holds an important position after all. It took our Yan family countless efforts to cultivate him. To give up like this..."
Back then, the Yan family invested a lot of effort in cultivating Xiao Jie, even using some hidden connections of the empire to secure him the positions of Minister of Martial Arts and Head of the Police Academy. It's just not something they would let go so easily now.
"Wu Que, you need to remember one thing: great things are accomplished by those who can bend and stretch. When opportunity arises, you must find a way to seize it; when the situation demands letting go, you must do so without hesitation!"
After thinking for a while, Yan Wuque savored his grandfather's words and replied: "I understand, Grandpa. However, Xiao Jie has left the Ninth Column for many years, so he may not obey the organization's arrangements."
Yan Xiaote smiled faintly, but a heavy glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, "Does he have a choice"
Yan Wuque sighed, it seemed he was still too young, far from his grandfather's boldness in doing things. "Grandfather, rest assured, I will arrange it."
"You should still have the Ninth Column do this. After all, the Dragon's Teeth aren't made of tofu." Yan Xiaoti said calmly.
With a nod of agreement, Yan left without another word. To ensure that something would never be discovered, one had to sever all traces. After all, the dead could not speak!
Peking, the headquarters of Qing Bang.
The conference hall was packed with people. They were all the heads of Qinggang's various branches in Beijing. Since taking over Baixueshan's territory, Qinggang had poured in large numbers of people and continuously dispatched personnel from across the country. Now, the scale of Qinggang has surpassed that of the former Xiaodao Hui.
Especially after the White Wolf joined, the Qing Gang flourished!kicked the man off the ground. However, he could already see blood all over his face.Fubo saw this, his brows furrowed and he said: "Young Master Guo, I'm afraid this isn't quite right. What if Young...
