Soon, the group left the office and hurried toward the hotel.
Yang Yong drove a commercial van. About five minutes later, the vehicle parked next to the hotel.
After getting out of the car, Chen Xuewei immediately called Chen Rong. Following his description, they finally found the alley.
Coincidentally, a police car had just arrived as well. Chief Zhang from the town police station was also in the car.
Chen Xuewei led the crowd into the alley.
They soon spotted Wang Er, Xia Fei, and their group, who were currently surrounding Chen Rong.
The moment he saw Wang Er and the others, Yang Yong's heart skipped a beat again. It really was a case of fearing the worst and having it happen.
"Dad."
Seeing Chen Xuewei appear, a look of joy instantly appeared on Chen Rong's face. However, he was currently blocked by Xia Fei and the others and couldn't get through at all.
"Young comrades, do you know that your current behavior is against the law?"
Before Chen Xuewei could say anything, Chief Zhang stepped forward first, waving his hand, ready to arrest them.
At this moment, Yang Yong trotted all the way over to Wang Er and the others. When he got close, he asked them politely, even respectfully, "Young Master Wang, Young Master Xia, did something happen?"
Seeing such a scene, both Chief Zhang and Chen Xuewei were stunned.
What was going on?
Yang Yong knew these young men?
"Secretary Yang, who are they?" Chen Xuewei frowned slightly, unable to help but ask.
Yang Yong hurriedly spoke, "Secretary Chen, they are the ones who helped build our Xin'an Town and also participated in some investments. This is Young Master Wang from the Magic City, and Young Master Cai..."
He carefully introduced the identities of Wang Er and the others one by one.
After hearing this, not only Chen Xuewei, but Chen Rong, Chief Zhang, and the others were all shocked.
The Wang family and Cai family from the Magic City, the Xia family from Liu City, and there were even a few young masters from the capital?
Suddenly, Chen Xuewei felt the pressure mount. He also realized that this group of people was not to be trifled with.
He might not be so afraid of the likes of the Wang and Cai families, but Zhong Mingyuan and Liu Silin from the capital made him wary.
Although Yang Yong didn't exactly introduce what the identities of these two were, since they were from the capital and could appear together with young masters like Wang Er and Cai Cheng, they definitely couldn't be simple!
"Hehe, young comrades, there must be some misunderstanding here."
After figuring this out, he immediately put on a smiling face, appearing much more polite.
"Misunderstanding?"
Wang Er chuckled. "There is no misunderstanding. Your son offended Young Master Qin just now. I'm afraid today's matter won't pass so simply."
Young Master Qin?
Who was this now?
Chen Xuewei was taken aback, then frowned, carefully searching for information in his mind.
But even if he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out when there had ever been a big shot surnamed Qin in the country.
Chen Xuewei was completely puzzled. He looked doubtfully at Yang Yong beside him, wanting to ask him what the background of this Young Master Qin actually was.
He saw Yang Yong speak to him with a serious face, "Secretary Chen, you had better first think about how to apologize to Young Master Qin. If you can get his forgiveness, things might still have a turning point. Otherwise..."
He didn't finish his sentence, just shook his head and sighed.
Seeing this, Chen Xuewei's frown deepened.
He could hear from Yang Yong's words that this Young Master Qin's background was much bigger than he had imagined.
"There's no need for an apology. Your son was very arrogant just now. Young Master Qin left this matter to us to handle, so we will do it our way," Xia Fei said indifferently.
Hearing this, before Chen Xuewei could say anything, Chen Rong on the side couldn't help but speak first. "Dad, you can't hand me over to them. They will definitely beat me to death. And what Young Master Qin? Don't be fooled by them. Qin Ning is just an orphan who makes a living delivering takeout after graduation. It's impossible for him to really have any background."
"Listen to that yourself. What kind of person have you spoiled your son into?" Wang Er chuckled and looked at Chen Xuewei.
"Smack!"
Chen Xuewei was also enraged and slapped Chen Rong directly across the face. "Shut the hell up!"
This rebellious son was truly limitlessly stupid.
Didn't he look at who was standing in front of him right now?
With so many top-tier young masters acting so respectfully toward that Young Master Qin, one could figure out with their toes that this Young Master Qin's background was definitely not as simple as he claimed.
An orphan? Delivering takeout?
His brain must have been caught in a door to say such things.
"Young Master Wang, about this matter..."
After a moment of silence, Chen Xuewei had no choice but to lower his posture and ask, "How do you want to handle this?"
"We don't have time today. We still have to drink to my little niece's full moon banquet later. Let this Chief Zhang take your son back to the station and lock him up first. We'll talk about this matter tomorrow," Xia Fei said.
"This..."
Hearing this, Chen Xuewei's frown deepened.
If this matter wasn't resolved now, how could he set his mind at ease?
And take Chen Rong back to be locked up for a night first?
He couldn't possibly agree to such a thing.
Right at this moment, the ringtone of Chief Zhang's phone, who had been standing obediently to the side and not daring to speak for a long time, suddenly rang.
He curiously took it out to take a look. It was a call from an unknown number, and the location displayed was Guangning City, the provincial capital of Xi Province.
"Hello, who is this? I am Zhang from Xin'an Town..."
Before he could finish speaking, a deep voice came from the phone, "It's me, Guo Zhengwen."
Guo Zhengwen?
Chief Zhang was taken aback.
This name was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Wait!
Guo Zhengwen?
A call from Guangning City!
Wasn't this the top leader of the province?
"Secretary... Secretary Guo, do you have any instructions?"
When he thought of the other party's identity, Chief Zhang's hand holding the phone began to tremble.
With his status, how could he be qualified to come into contact with a figure like Guo Zhengwen?
But now, the other party had actually called him personally.
"Are you next to the hotel in town right now?" Guo Zhengwen asked.
"Y-yes."
Chief Zhang was shocked in his heart. Guo Zhengwen's simple sentence made him instantly realize the reason for this call—it was definitely related to Chen Rong's matter.
How could this be possible?
Was it because of that Young Master Qin?
What exactly was his background?
He actually alarmed the top provincial leader!
"Is that Chen Rong next to you? Take him back first. I will send someone from the province over in a bit. When the time comes, just hand him over to them to handle."
"O-okay, Secretary Guo." Chief Zhang swallowed hard.
"Is Chen Xuewei next to you?" Guo Zhengwen asked again.
"H-he is."
After responding, Chief Zhang immediately handed the phone to a puzzled Chen Xuewei and whispered in his ear, "It's Secretary Guo from the province..."
Hearing these words, Chen Xuewei's expression abruptly changed.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore."
