Chapter 368: The End
Although Old Man Chen is already at home, his influence is still very huge, even if he is such a No. 1 leader, in the face of Old Man Chen, he has to give three points.
What's more, is it the fifth chief who was born in the military?
It can be said that Mr. Chen's reputation among the troops is still unmatched, and now the commanders of several major military regions in China are all protΓ©gΓ©s of Mr. Chen.
Hearing that Old Man Chen came to visit in person, the No. 5 leader naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
When he came outside, when he saw the white-haired and bearded Old Man Chen, a smile immediately appeared on the face of the No. 5 chief, and he said, "Old chief, why did you come here in person?" β
"I'm looking for your help with something, let's go, let's go in and talk." Old Man Chen's face was calm, he smiled indifferently, and then walked directly towards the office of the fifth chief.
The fifth leader was slightly stunned, and then followed in the footsteps of Old Man Chen.
While walking, the fifth leader gradually made a decision in his heart, which came from Old Man Chen's personal visit, and also from his relationship with the military.
Old Man Chen came to visit in person, which is enough to prove that the Chen family attaches great importance to him, and this alone has enough reasons for him to stand on the Chen family's side.
What's more, Old Man Chen has the grace of promoting him, if there was no Old Man Chen back then, even if he could get to this point today, he would not be so light.
Of course, more importantly, until now, the Lin family still has no move, and the choice to make is naturally very obvious.
Soon, the two entered the office one after another.
"Xiaobai, you are guarding outside, no one can come in without my order." The fifth leader commanded cautiously to his secretary.
Old Man Chen came to visit in person, and this news must not be leaked out lightly, otherwise it will cause a great turmoil.
It must be known that since he lived behind the scenes, Mr. Chen has never set foot in Zhonghai, the largest power center in China.
What's more, once the Lin family learns about it, there will be a great change in the situation, and although the fifth leader is not afraid, he doesn't want it to happen in vain.
"Yes, Chief."
Xiaobai replied with a solemn face, then turned around respectfully and walked out of the office, closing the office door with his hand.
I am more and more sure in my heart what choice the No. 5 leader will make.
In fact, even if Old Man Chen didn't come to visit in person today, the final choice of the No. 5 leader was very sure that it was the Chen family.
After all, the No. 5 leader was born in the military, and the relationship between him and the Chen family has always been extremely good.
The reason why he agreed to help the Lin family before was that the Lin family personally came forward and gave great benefits, and secondly, the Lin family's power was there, and he couldn't blatantly refuse.
More importantly, in the eyes of the fifth chief, a dark blade will not have much effect on the Chen family at all, and even if it is abandoned, it will not be too dangerous to the Chen family.
At this time, Old Man Chen and the No. 5 chief were talking in detail in the office, and no one knew what they were talking about.
However, from the smile on the face of Old Man Chen when he left, it can be seen that this trip should be very smooth and achieved the result he wanted.
And the fifth chief, after Old Man Chen left, immediately called his secretary into the office.
"Xiaobai, you immediately notify the Thunder Blade and remove all the members of the Dark Blade Team from the army."
"Chief, this ......"
Hearing about the decision of the fifth leader, Xiao Bai's face changed drastically, as the secretary of the fifth leader, he naturally knew the importance of the Thunder Blade team very well, but he did not expect that the fifth leader would suddenly make such a decision.
"Do as I command."
The fifth leader didn't make any explanation, and waved his hand indifferently.
"Yes, Chief."
Seeing this, Xiao Bai didn't dare to hesitate, immediately turned around and walked out, and arranged things according to the order of the fifth chief.
Looking at Xiao Bai's figure, a solemnity flashed in the eyes of the fifth chief, and he whispered to himself: "Dark Blade, the old chief has paid so much for you, I hope you will not disappoint the old chief." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lin family.
In the study, Lin Xiaowang's two sons, who were anxious to come back, did not hesitate at all, and directly said the current shape of Yun Province simply, and then said solemnly: "At this time, the shape is extremely unfavorable to us, and if we want to use the thunder knife to set foot in the south, I am afraid it is impossible." β
"But as long as there is the slightest opportunity, we can't miss it, otherwise, if we want to wait for such an opportunity, we don't know how many years we will have to wait."
"What do you think about this, please feel free to say it."
"As long as you can come up with an effective strategy, whoever is the future heir of the Lin family."
For a long time, among the three brothers of the Lin family, although the relationship between Lin Yunhai and Lin Yunkong is good, they all want to become the future heirs of the Lin family.
It's just that between the two, there is no dirt in other wealthy families, and they have already been discussed, each with their own ability, fair competition, no matter who gets this position, the other person will not have any complaints, but will support it strongly.
And Lin Xiao is now releasing such a big bargaining chip, just seeking a perfect strategy, you can imagine how unfavorable the current shape is to the Lin family.
It was precisely because of this understanding that the faces of the two brothers became extremely solemn in an instant, and they looked at each other, and for a while, they couldn't make up their minds.
Seeing this scene, a flash of disappointment flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, could it be that there was really no way to reverse the shape in front of him?
In fact, Lin Xiao also knew in his heart that if Gu Yang did not have the Chen family behind him, if he wanted to reverse it, there would not be any difficulty for the Lin family at all.
However, once the Chen family makes a move, it will be able to settle the situation in one fell swoop and completely seal the Lin family's retreat.
Therefore, at this time, the Lin family did not dare to act rashly, even if they admit defeat, they must not be guided by this, and the Lin family will pay even more heavy losses.
Just in the study, when it was extremely quiet, a phone rang clearly, directly breaking the silence in the study.
The three of them were all slightly stunned, looking at the ringing phone, Lin Xiao was the first to react, glanced at the displayed number, couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and directly connected, "I'm Lin Xiao." β
As the voice on the other side sounded, Lin Xiao's face full of smiles froze in an instant, and gradually became extremely gloomy.
Until the call was hung up, Lin Xiao couldn't help but grab the phone and threw it out directly.
Bang!
The phone fell to the ground and fell to pieces in an instant, leaving it in ruins.
The two brothers of the Lin family didn't know what was going on, with a look of doubt on their faces, and asked cautiously, "Dad, what happened?" β
"The old immortal of the Chen family actually went to Zhonghai in person, and he has already won the support of Meng Lao." Lin Xiao was still angry, and directly said the news he had just gotten.
Meng Lao is the leader of the fifth and the supreme leader of the Thunderblade team.
As the supreme leader of the Thunderblade Group, and now the fifth-ranked leader of the country, he has absolute real power in his hands, even if Lin Xiao is the helmsman of the Lin family, he does not dare to be disrespectful to the fifth leader in words.
After all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and once the news leaks out, it will definitely not do the Lin family any benefit.
As for Old Man Chen, now that he has lived in seclusion behind the scenes, no matter how high his reputation is, he is just a white body, so he naturally has no scruples.
What's more, the relationship between the two families is not a friendly attitude in itself, even if it reaches the ears of Old Man Chen, there will be no fear in the slightest.
From this alone, it can be seen that Lin Xiao maintained his sanity while being angry.
"This ......"
Originally, the two brothers of the Lin family also wanted to persuade Lin Xiao to try their best to win over the fifth leader, only in this way could they force Gu Yang to hand over the control of the Tianmen Group.
After all, Gu Yang's identity is the captain of the Dark Blade Squad of the Thunder Blade Group, and now he has not retired from the army, even if he plans to leave the Thunder Blade Group, he still has some scruples about the orders of the No. 5 leader.
However, now that the No. 5 leader is on the side of the Chen family because of the appearance of Old Man Chen, it will be extremely difficult for the Lin family to win over again.
As for wanting to use the No. 5 leader again, dealing with Gu Yang has become a utopia.
This news, once it gets out, will be even worse for the Lin family's current form.
For a moment, the two brothers could not say a complete sentence.
Lin Xiao didn't think about winning over other leaders, although the nine leaders had their own factions, they had always advanced and retreated together in this kind of major matter.
If you don't do this, you won't be able to suppress the three major families of Yanjing.
At this time, the fifth leader made such a choice, which has already shown that the other leaders at least maintain a certain amount of support, even if they have other ideas, they will not do anything opposite to the fifth leader, even if the fourth leader is a person belonging to the Lin family, it cannot be changed.
And this news, the fourth leader was able to pass it on to the Lin family, and he was already making a final effort.
Lin Xiao also understood this truth very well in his heart, and from the words of the fourth leader just now, he had already expressed an attitude, that is, to let the Lin family temporarily retreat, so as not to pay heavier losses.
In fact, this is also a way of balancing the upper echelons, and once the No. 4 leader supports the Lin family, this balance will be broken.
Once this happens, then Huaguo will definitely fall into an extremely chaotic shape, which the other leaders will not agree to, and when the time comes, it will all be aimed at the Lin family, which is not impossible.
It was precisely for this reason that Lin Xiao would never dare to take risks.
After some thought, seeing that his two sons couldn't come up with an effective plan, he finally sighed slightly and said, "Yunhai, pass the order, give up the thunder knife, and don't meddle in the affairs of the southwest for the time being." β
Since there is no way to change, let's temporarily back down and wait for the opportunity again, with the power of the Lin family, as long as there is a little gap, there is a chance to occupy a place in the southwest and complete the goal that was not completed this time.
"Is that really the only way to go?" Lin Yunhai's gaze was confused, and he said unwillingly.
"Go ahead."
Lin Xiao waved his hand helplessly and closed his eyes directly.
