Seeing Zhang's body stiffening, he slowly turned his head, and saw a tall figure with long legs standing at the door.

"Miss Yan?"

Ming Jianzhang couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his heart.

Outside this room of his house, he was under heavy security right now, but Yan Ruoning appeared at the door silently.

What do the guards eat?

Those guards were not native to Haicheng, but the members of the general assembly who came to Haicheng with him.

"Minister Ming, excuse me."

"Come in and talk about it."

Ming Jianzhang suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and maintained his due demeanor.

Yan Ruoning was not polite, she entered the house generously, sat on the sofa, and raised her hand to signal, "Minister Ming, you can sit too, let's talk a few words." ”

This is a naked anti-guest.

Clearly a demonstration.

In order to avoid losing momentum, Ming Jianzhang didn't sit down as she said, turned around and picked up the water cup from the table, held it in his hand, and asked, "Miss Yan, come here so late, what advice do you have?" ”

Although he was annoyed and uneasy, his tone remained steady and polite.

As a high-level figure in the association, at least the cultivation is still there, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the woman in front of her is terrifying, and she thinks that she can't beat her even if she sees it, so it's better to talk calmly.

"I can't talk about advice, I just think that some things should be communicated with Minister Ming, and some things are better to be explained in person.

After all, we are now partners, and it is normal for some disagreements and disputes, as long as the communication is clear and does not affect everyone's common goals, it is completely possible to seek common ground and cherish it, and there is no need to secretly beware of digging pits. ”

Yan Ruoning pointed at herself, "I don't know much about your twists and turns, but I am now managing a laboratory, and I still have some experience in this area, I think Minister Ming must know better than me, right?" ”

Ming Jianzhang said quietly: "I don't understand the meaning of Miss Yan's words. ”

Yan Ruoning smiled slightly, and said: "Minister Ming, you want to elect the Supreme Standing Committee, and you want to maintain your reputation in the matter of cleaning the Qi family, and not offend other family forces, so I hope that Wei Chaoyang and the Haicheng Committee will carry all the black pots, this is not understandable." But you shouldn't operate behind your back, one thing in front of you and one thing behind your back. This is not the right attitude towards allies. ”

Seeing that Zhang Gan laughed twice, he made up his mind not to admit it, and said, "Miss Yan said that she was laughing, when did I do one thing in front of me and one thing behind my back?" Master Xiao Wei wanted Qi Zhengqiang, so I actively helped him coordinate the transfer, and if something happened in this way, he couldn't blame me for not being it. ”

Yan Ruoning ignored his defense, and only said at her own pace: "If people don't know, unless they don't do it, if they don't admit it, they will fall into the bottom." ”

Ming Jianzhang's mobile phone rang continuously, and he glanced down, but he received three photos.

The first one is Qi Zhengqiang's seven orifices bleeding to the ground.

The second is Qi Zhengwei tied to a bomb.

The third is a screenshot of the surveillance angle video of Qi Zhengming being shot by the man in black.

Qi Zheng fled overnight, and the plane he was riding broke down over the Bohai Sea, shattered and disintegrated, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. After Qi Zhengqiang was kidnapped, he could not be treated in time and died of internal bleeding caused by gunshot wounds. Qi Zhengming was infiltrated and shot dead by unknown armed men.

The Haicheng Committee will issue a statement early tomorrow morning that in view of Qi Zhengwei's rebellious behavior of seriously provoking the authority of the committee, it will have full authority to trust all the properties of the Qi family that have not been liquidated, so as to prevent Qi Zhengwei from using the assets of the Qi family to cause greater damage.

Originally, Fu Tong should have reported this matter to you in advance, but you obviously didn't receive any news. And he did not inform you in order to avoid the adverse impact of this radical and complete liquidation on your election as a member of the Supreme Standing Committee, and all the responsibility will be borne by the Haicheng Committee!

Isn't that exactly what you intended? Fu Tong took the initiative to do it, you have to thank him! ”

Ming Jianzhang was holding a glass of water, and his face was cloudy.

Yan Ruoning said again: "Actually, Wei Chaoyang doesn't agree with such a radical approach of the Haicheng Committee, he thinks that your initial plan is better, but the problem is that what you have done in the past two days has made him very disappointed, thinking that what you said before was to lie to him, and to sell the Qi family at a price, and to fight for the maximum benefit of his campaign, is the real idea." Therefore, he could only turn to support the Haicheng Committee to forcibly annex the Qi family's industry! ”

She stared at Ming Jianzhang and said, "If the Qi family doesn't fall for a day, Wei Chaoyang won't have a sense of security, you should know this matter very well, but you still do that, which makes Wei Chaoyang very cold, he originally regarded you as a real ally!" But allies, how can they only look out for their own interests? ”

Ming Jianzhang defended: "You misunderstood, I didn't have the idea of selling at a price......

"Qi Zhengqiang said before he died that the person who injured him was Yang Weili! And Yang Weili is a close confidant brought by your Minister Ming from the General Association, and he was originally responsible for transferring Qi Zhengqiang, but he ended up guarding and stealing himself, if he didn't have your instructions, how would he dare to do this? ”

Yan Ruoning's tone was light, and she couldn't hear any emotion, but a simple sentence made Ming Jianzhang's face change.

Killing Qi Zhengqiang is something that can't be said, once it leaks out, he will become the target of the public, not only offending many families, but also violating the rules of the general association, and destroying the image of the character he has always established.

At that time, the major families will definitely set off a big wave of public opinion, and they will always dismiss him if they are persecuted!

"I don't know Yang Weili is doing this." Ming Jianzhang flatly denied it, "I never told him to do this. Could it be that someone else bought him? You can check this! ”

As long as you go to investigate, you can find out the collusion between Yang Weili and Fu Tong and the Haicheng Committee, and Minister He Ming is also blinded!

Letting Yang Weili hook up with the Haicheng Committee is his backhand for himself!

"Minister Ming, you are too naïve to say this." Yan Ruoning said, "The truth doesn't matter, what matters is what others think!" ”

Seeing that Zhang didn't answer this question, he asked instead: "It was Wei Chaoyang who robbed Qi Zhengqiang at that time?" ”

"Do you know this person?"

Yan Ruoning will click on the mobile phone screen and show it to Ming Jianzhang.

On the screen, there is a hand-drawn sketch of a human face.

The technique is a bit crude, but the basic physical characteristics can still be seen.

This is an Indian.

Wei Chaoyang saw it through the cursed stone that day, and then drew it.

Seeing this portrait, Ming Jianzhang's pupils shrank slightly, "Did he rob Qi Zhengqiang?" How do you know? ”

"Minister Ming, do you really regard Wei Chaoyang as an ordinary college student? He is a refiner, he has a background and a background, and if such a big thing happens in Haicheng, will the master sit idly by? You, ah, don't know anything about the means and energy of the alchemists! ”

Yan Ruoning took out another USB drive, put it on the coffee table in front of her, and then got up and said, "Minister Ming, if I were you, you should think about what you should do next." This is a man, you can't be too greedy, you want and want, often both sides are not pleased, and you can't get anything in the end! Since you've raised the flag of a hardliner, you have to act like a hardliner! ”

Until Yan Ruoning walked out of the room, Ming Jianzhang didn't speak again.

He looked at the USB drive on the coffee table in silence, walked slowly to the door, and looked out.

A guard was pacing slowly down the hallway.

This is the personal bodyguard he brought with him from the association.

There were only four people in total, who were on duty in turns, protecting him twenty-four hours a day.

This is not a staff member of the committee, but a child of the Ming family, a real trustworthy subordinate of Ming Jianzhang.

Seeing Ming Jianzhang's probe, the guard trotted over and asked, "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?" ”

Ming Jianzhang looked at the guard suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It's nothing, I'll see who is on duty." You go and remove all the temporary additional guards, it's all right tonight. ”

The guard answered, and without asking any more questions, he turned and left.

Ming Jianzhang returned to the room, found the data cable, and connected the USB disk to the mobile phone to check.

There are three recordings in it.

"Team Leader Ming doesn't want you to appear in Haicheng and bring him trouble reconciling with the eldest prince, so you can only die on the road......"

"The general meeting has contacted Commissioner Kazan, and he will promote the convening of a meeting of the Supreme Standing Committee to support you in filing a complaint against what Ming Jianzhang did in Haicheng at the meeting......

"Even if these guts rob food, they only dare to follow others to pick up leftovers! It's your idea. I'm not mistaken, you're a scourge! If you don't die for a day, sooner or later, all the soul master families in the world will be mutilated by you......"

In the first paragraph, Yang Weili is speaking.

The second paragraph is Qi Zhengyong's voice.

In the third paragraph, Qi Zhengwei is angrily scolding someone.

Obviously, these three recordings were all recorded on different occasions and edited with the head and tail removed.

If Qi Zhengqiang was killed at his behest, and then these three recordings were released, it would be enough to guide everyone's attention to him Ming Jianzhang.

"What a ruthless method!"

Ming Jianzhang subconsciously clenched his fists.

Obviously, Wei Chaoyang was ready to break with him in the future.

Once there is a conflict because of their respective positions, Wei Chaoyang throws these three recordings with his backhand, which is enough to destroy Ming Jianzhang's hope of ascending to the top.

As for the possible revenge from the Ming family......

Ming Jianzhang didn't think that Wei Chaoyang would worry about this.

You only need to look at the Qi family to know this.

Wei Chaoyang is a refiner!

He will abide by the rules of the committee now, just because it is beneficial to him, it does not mean that these rules can bind him!

Ming Jianzhang tapped lightly on the table, slowly thinking about Yan Ruoning's intention to do this.

She must not simply be taken as a threat.

Any threat has a clear purpose.

And Yan Ruoning did this, except for exposing the means reserved by Wei Chaoyang, it was meaningless at all.

So, this is not a threat, but a declaration of strength.

Showing Ming Mizhang that the power they possess is far greater than he imagined!

Although the Qi family will officially become history at dawn tomorrow, whether it is to take over the Fuxi Haicheng branch or to establish a special management area to protect Yan Ruoning's king-level human movement, they still need the full support of Ming Jianzhang.

Wei Chaoyang entrusted Yan Ruoning to come to express his dissatisfaction with Ming Jianzhang's operation of secretly sabotaging the tripartite alliance in person, but at the same time, by showing strength, he expressed his willingness to continue to cooperate!

Of course, if he saw that Zhang Zhen was stupid enough to think that this was a threat, presumably Wei Chaoyang would definitely not hesitate to stay.

Now, Wei Chaoyang has made his attitude clear, and the next thing is to see his choice.

If he continues to unite with Wei Chaoyang and Fu Tong, then he will definitely offend the Yunling Master family in the future, and even the Ming family will not be able to tolerate it.

The reason why he hesitated and even retreated before was because he had already seen the tendency of Fu Tong and Wei Chaoyang's approach.

It was a contempt for the Maison.

Today, they can dismantle the Qi family without any scruples, and tomorrow they can kill the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Li family in the same way, and the day after tomorrow, it will be impossible for the small Haicheng to satisfy their appetite...... If this continues, sooner or later they will openly break with the Spirit Transporter family, and even break out into a full-scale conflict!

This is very likely.

Now there is a great deal of dissatisfaction within the committee with the compromise and concession of the Spirit Transporter family, otherwise there would be no hardliners.

The hardliners are not in the mood for now, because they lack a strong core organization to unite.

And once Fu Tong, who was born from the grassroots, was willing to stand up, coupled with the support of a refiner like Wei Chaoyang, who was independent of the committee, he knew that Zhang Shuqi's hardliner banner would be taken away by Fu Tong in a matter of minutes.

The end result was that all the hardliners rallied around Fu Tong and formally formed a powerful and terrifying force.

Once this force is formed, it will inevitably attack its original target, which is the many Soul Transporter families!

Because this is the basis for the existence of this force, only in this way can we ensure the activity and strength of this force!

Even if Fu Tong didn't want to start a war so radically, he would be pushed by this power to the point that he couldn't help himself!

It was precisely because he noticed this powerful force hidden within the committee that he resolutely and resolutely made his hard-liner stance.

But no matter how he makes it clear, there is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.

He comes from the top family of soul carriers in the world!

That's a plus in a normal campaign, but it's a minus for the hardliners.

His origins are destined to be greatly doubted.

Unless, he behaves more aggressively and does it more decisively!

And this cleaning of the Qi family is the best opportunity!

Once he completely wiped out the Qi family with a ruthless attitude like a storm, it would be enough to stabilize the flag he had erected in the hearts of all the hardliners!

When the time comes, he will be the real representative of the hardliners, and this huge potential force will really be used by him!

But in doing so, it meant that he was on the opposite side of the entire Spirit Transporter family.

When the campaign begins, all the Soul Conveyor families will oppose him!

Will this force be able to support him in winning the election?

It would be a big gamble that would cost him his entire life.

If you win, the winner takes all, and the loser sinks!

And whether he wins or loses, once he chooses this path, it will completely change the internal competition rules that the committee has been running for hundreds of years!

Ming Jianzhang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If only he were really just a puppet from a simple family.

In that way, there will be no immediate troubles, but without hesitation, choose to stand firmly on the position of the family.

Of course, in that case, he will not be in a dilemma because of this series of things.

Because he stood firmly on the position of the family, he would not cooperate with Wei Chaoyang and Fu Tong to liquidate the Qi family at all.

Ming Jianzhang kept thinking about the bright sky over and over again.

During this period, it was unusually quiet, and no one came to report to him on the progress of the search for Qi Zhengwei outside.

It seems that he was deliberately given enough quiet time to think about the road ahead.

However, Ming Jianzhang still couldn't make up his mind.

He was actually a very decisive man.

Otherwise, he would not have made the decision to cooperate with Wei Chaoyang as soon as he received a call from Ming Xintong.

But this time, he couldn't make any decisions.

There is also no one to consult.

Needless to say, the family's position is also very clear, and the attitude of his guide Ji Zhengkang is also very clear.

There will always be a maximum of 12 people, and there will be no support for the hardliners.

Seeing that Zhang was entangled, the mobile phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller number, he couldn't help frowning, but he still sorted out his emotions and then picked up, "Father." ”

"What the hell are you doing in Haicheng!"

A stern voice came out of the microphone, revealing the utterances of the voice's owner.

"This morning, I have already received three phone calls, all of which are asking what our Ming family is going to do, expressing serious doubts and concerns about our Ming family's position! The family agreed to let you go to Haicheng, so that you could make up for the shortcomings of your local work resume, not to let you mess around! ”

Ming Jianzhang said in a low voice: "Father, I don't understand what you're talking about. I have already reported everything to you on Haicheng's side, and I have nothing to hide. ”

"Qi Zhengming was shot dead at his home on Hong Kong Island last night! Qi Zhengqiang's whereabouts are unknown on the way to the transfer! Qi Zhengwei's plane crashed over the Bohai Sea, and I don't know if he was alive or dead! Do you dare to say that you don't know about these things and have nothing to do with you? ”

The voice grew harsher.

Ming Jianzhang defended: "I have received information about these three things, and I am still investigating what is going on......

"Mingjianzhang, don't try to deceive me! I'm not old fool yet! ”

A stern voice unceremoniously interrupted Akimi.

"What do you mean by that video you reported to the General Assembly?

Don't you know what the goals of the committee's hardliners are?

They are going to fight against the family of soul carriers!

It's about digging up the roots of people like you!

But you're still going to their side!

It's just stupid!

Are you trying to prove your position now by striking at the Qi family?

After killing the three tigers of the Qi family, the Qi family will completely become a waste without muscles and bones, and you can knead it as much as you want?

You know that if you don't know how to do this, it will make all the Soul Conveyor families very uneasy!

They will definitely not allow a character who could threaten their interests to become a member of the Supreme Standing Committee! ”

"Father, I don't have ......"

Ming Jianzhang tried his best to defend himself, but the stern voice refused to give him any chance to speak.

"I don't want to listen to what you say, but to see what you do!

Now, it's not just me watching you, all the soul carrier families around the world are watching you.

What you do in Haicheng will determine your future fate!

Listen, the Qi family must be saved!

Fu Tong and Wei Chaoyang must be punished for mutilating the Qi family!

The Haicheng Committee must pay the price for the liquidation of the Qi family!

If you do these three things, you will still be the first in line to the throne, and you will still have the opportunity to become the Supreme Standing Committee!

If you can't do that, don't do it as the Minister of Action, and don't elect the Supreme Standing Committee.

The family doesn't need an incompetent fool to sit in that position! ”

"Father, what the Qi family did seriously violated the rules of the committee, what the Haicheng Committee did was not wrong, and I can't punish it as a representative of the general association, I ......"

"Ming Jianzhang, let me ask you, who are you speaking on behalf of now?

A family of spiritualists, or a committee?

Could it be that our major families have endured humiliation for so many years just to honestly abide by the committee's broken rules?

Don't forget, we are a family of spirit masters, and in ancient times, even the emperor had to respectfully worship and ask for advice!

We are naturally human beings, gods who look down on the world!

The rules of the Commission, we never need and should not abide by! ”

The stern voice warned in a solemn voice: "Ming Jianzhang, don't forget who you are!" Without the support of your family, do you think you can sit on the post of head of the general operation department by relying on your own skills? You are nothing without the support of your family! ”

didn't give Ming Jianzhang a chance to defend himself, so he hung up the phone directly.

Ming Jianzhang looked at his phone, stunned for a while, and suddenly laughed dumbly.

He understood Yan Ruoning's true intention when she came over last night.

That was an advance warning.

The truth of the facts does not matter.

What matters is what others think.

Since he is in Haicheng and has been presiding over the liquidation of the Qi family's affairs, no matter who killed the three tigers of the Qi family and for what, everyone's spearhead will be the first to point at him and force him to make a statement on the affairs of the Qi family!

Yan Ruoning was right.

If you want to be left and right, you have to have both sides, and in the current situation of increasingly fierce contradictions within the committee, it will not work at all!

"Without the support of my family, I'm really nothing!"

Ming saw a long sigh.

Without the support of the family, he is just the most ordinary head of the action department, even if he has Ji Zhengkang as a backer, don't want to become the highest twelve!

Even if Ji Zhengkang designates him as the heir, skips the public recommendation of the Zhou District, and directly participates in the committee vote, without the support of the family, he will not be able to get enough votes.

At present, there are 137 official members of the committee, excluding the maximum 12 who do not participate in the voting, and candidates need to receive more than two-thirds of the votes before they can officially take office.

The voting of the 137 members was based on the results of the votes of all the staff members of the regional committees.

They can manipulate the results of the all-hands vote through various means, but they cannot openly disobey the results of the all-hands vote!

And the operation of all staff voting is inseparable from the large and small families of spirit transporters!

Without the support of the family, it is impossible for a close or hostile family to vote for him!

The origin of the family of the spirit master is both a powerful help and a powerful constraint for Ming Jianzhang.

Relying on the strength of the family to ascend to the top, in turn, it is necessary to provide sufficient returns for the efforts of the family.

After years of unremitting efforts, the Soul Transporter family, which was once the target of the committee's suppression, has quietly stolen most of the authority of the committee, so that without the support of the family, no one can take the position, and without the support of the family, no plan or strategy can be implemented!

The family of soul transporters is like a group of terrible parasites, hollowing out the original committee and replacing it!

But after all, they still can't cover the sky with one hand, so there will be hardliners.

Even if none of the top twelve people supported the hardliners, this loose faction would still be able to stand up to the moderates who had a large number of high-ranking members of the association and the support of all the Soul Transporter families, so that without the support of the centrists, the moderates would not even be able to effectively suppress the hardliners!

This sigh was long and deep, as if he wanted to spit out all the turbidity in his heart in one breath.

When the sigh ended, Ming Jianzhang picked up his mobile phone again and called Ji Zhengkang.

As soon as the phone was connected, the first thing he said was, "I'm sorry, teacher!" ”
