After learning the truth, Wei Yanwu found it difficult to feel any resentment towards his younger brother's arrangements.

Because the situation was indeed urgent at the time, every day of delay would mean another day of suffering for countless ordinary people.

The True Dragon at that time was already senile. The transfer of power between feudal dynasties was extremely sensitive and could not be overstepped in the slightest. Wei Yanwu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

If everything goes well, the younger brother's advice will be correct, but the world is often full of uncertainties.

"Your Majesty, I am already aware of the past events. That gentleman has already explained your deal with Utopia to me. Is this true?"

"That's true. What's your opinion?"

"I fully support your cooperation with Utopia. Rhodes Island is currently docked in Lungmen. I have had discussions with them, and this phone was given to me by them."

"I already knew."

Sigh, has it really come down to the conflict between ruler and subject again?

After a brief moment of warmth, the brothers forgot how to navigate their familial relationship and ended up awkwardly adopting a ruler-subject dynamic.

While cooperation with Utopia could certainly change the current situation, the relationship between the two is still that of ruler and subject.

As long as the True Dragon remains in this position, Wei Yanwu will forever be a subject; this is an insurmountable chasm.

"Lungmen will unconditionally support Your Majesty's decision, and I can then resign as Governor of Lungmen..."

"That's not quite right. There's no need to rush. I have a stack of test questions here, which I obtained specifically from Master Huang. They are some civil service exam questions from Utopia. Try to understand them, my dear minister. If you pass, you can continue to serve as the Governor of Lungmen; if you fail, you can step down and pass the position to a more capable person."

Looking at the more than 50 gigabytes of files in the chat history, Wei Yanwu felt as if he were facing Wen Wenyue, who had been cultivating her mind and body for more than a month.

It felt like a formidable enemy was imminent!

In his moment of frustration, Wei Yanwu suddenly had an idea.

He immediately sent all these documents to Ch'en and said to her.

Wei Yanwu: "If you don't achieve an excellent score after completing these questions, your position as superintendent will remain vacant for now. You know my methods."

This is the petty arbitrariness of power; who said I was the only one who had to take the exam?

I've been working so hard, can't I at least enjoy myself?

Ch'en: "[Lungmen profanity!]"

Over 50 grams! What on earth is this dragon producing? Did it take the wrong medicine?

Could it be that they accidentally sent me some old, explicit videos they had saved?

Chapter 684 Sick Tiger and Weak Cat

Rhodes Island was quiet at night, except for the kitchen staff having a late-night snack. Ray and Ms. Charlotte were chopping dried radishes in the kitchen; tonight's snack was Rem Pito flavored.

After feeding everyone, Huang Cao went to the canteen alone to enjoy the quiet night.

Open a beer, enjoy some barbecue – this is the life of a nighttime aristocracy.

While the allure of a romantic relationship can be intoxicating, being alone occasionally is quite pleasant.

"Are you Mr. Huang?"

At the same time, a tiger cub suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding an envelope in its hand.

Could this be a confession of love to me?

I'm a married man! No, no!

Okay, isn't this Shi Huaiya? What's that little tiger doing on Rhodes Island today?

"I have a letter here from my grandfather, Adams. As soon as he heard you had arrived in Lungmen, he wanted me to come and greet you. However, the Governor went ahead and invited you to the Governor's Mansion."

The little tiger was still wearing her police uniform, which means she had been guarding Rhodes Island for a very long time before finally coming to the cafeteria because she was too hungry to stand it anymore.

Then I ate some vegetable soup here, which was actually quite good.

"Adams, is this young man in good health?"

Even though the young man in front of her called her grandfather a "young man, "Shi Huaiya didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. "Thanks to the help of Utopia Medical Equipment, his health is still quite good."

"Back then, your ancestors helped me conquer Victoria. It was such a glorious time. How is your family doing now that you've moved to Lungmen?"

Shi Huaiya said, "It's certainly not as good as Victoria, but it's free enough to be a place for our family to rest and recuperate."

Everyone knows that the Shi Huaiya Family was just a large mascot during the Victoria era.

As the permanent family of the Deputy Speaker of the Lower House, the Shi Huaiya Family once wanted to expand their power, but found that almost all avenues were blocked by Master Huang.

They were prominent, but only in the Lower House in Victoria, and the family's fate was firmly in the hands of others.

This feeling was very uncomfortable, at least that's what Adams' father thought.

Master Huang was also very understanding and gave them a way to leave Victoria.

"Is your family facing some kind of crisis?"

Huang Cao opened the letter and found that apart from some words of concern and care, it was almost entirely about playing the victim and reminiscing about past relationships.

Shi Huaiya also a little embarrassed, her fingers slightly digging down to clutch her stockings, looking so shy that her toes were practically digging into them.

"You're doing so badly? I don't remember you going bankrupt yet."

Shi Huaiya frankly admitted, "No, but it's no longer at its peak. It's gradually declining, there's no successor, and no one to back it up."

The Shi Huaiya family is losing its talent. Although Adams and Wei Yanwu are friends, the latter believes he has already helped a lot, and that if you can't maintain your position, you can't blame me.

"Miss Shi Huaiya, how old are you this year?"

"I'll be 24 soon."

We're almost at the main storyline in the game now, and these girls are definitely not young anymore.

Old Chen is a police superintendent; even at his youngest age, he certainly wouldn't be a minor.

Judging from their appearance, the youngest member of the new generation of the Lungmen trio seems to be the pink little mouse, but they are most likely the same age.

"Wait a minute, let me check... There was a leak of Originium. A member of a clan was playing with leverage and couldn't control himself, ending up in jail for over 300 years."

"Food safety, multiple projects facing funding shortages... the root causes are basically people, and in the end, Adams had to personally intervene to barely salvage some of the company and family's reputation."

"Shi Huaiya, I'd like to ask if your family has engaged in more endogamy after leaving Victoria? It seems like there are so many different kinds of people in your family now."

The immortals are lined up like hemp.

There are hardly any normal people in the entire family, from top to bottom. The fact that they haven't fallen is truly thanks to Wei Yanwu's best efforts to help them.

This display of social skill is truly excessive; if he continues to protect Wei Yanwu, he might face severe criticism from the citizens.

This is why Adams wanted to find Master Huang, because there was simply no one else available.

The reason they sent Little Tiger was because she was one of the few normal people in the family.

Although she became a police officer and personally investigated many cases in her family, she was known for her impartiality and incorruptibility, which resulted in a less than stellar reputation within the family.

However, as a family that had followed Master Huang for over a hundred years, Adams clearly understood that Master Huang preferred kind people. If he sent others out, it was very likely that they would make a fool of themselves, and then they would be even less able to get what they wanted.

Shi Huaiya and kind-hearted; perhaps it can move Master Huang's heart.

All I can say is that the sick tiger's plan was pretty good. The little tiger was also one of the operators that Master Huang used to start the game. Don't ask why he used the five-star little tiger to start the game. The answer is that he didn't have Lappland or Specter.

But I got it right away, so the little tiger's level has always been at max level (zero elite).

However, the little tiger appears quite often in the story and is a nice person, so Master Huang has a certain degree of goodwill towards her, but only slightly more than towards a passerby. If he wants her to take action, he must offer something in return.

"Adams probably didn't tell you about my methods, did he? I like pruning branches, I don't like bloodsucking borers."

Huang Cao's eyes held a terrifying murderous intent, but Little Tiger Shi Huaiya was someone who had seen a lot.

Sometimes, when you arrive at a battleground between gangs, the ground is littered with corpses.

Therefore, she was far more resistant to this terrifying killing intent than the average person.

"Mr. Huang... I don't understand what you mean."

"What I mean is, the fact that Adams came to me means that he can no longer completely control the Shi Huaiya Family, and he must also know my style of doing things; sometimes I tend to target the people who cause the problems."

"To persuade a King of Terra to consider the interests of a small company, the offer isn't that simple."

With a warm and gentle expression, Huang Cao had Charlotte serve him a bowl of savory and flavorful vegetable soup, as if the murderous intent from just moments before had never existed.

But Shi Huaiya still saw the man at the very top of the corpses.

Huang Cao has personally chopped off more heads than most people have ever seen.

After all, he was a man who loved the guillotine, and Miss Doctor also liked pressing the guillotine button.

"Show your sincerity. Adams brought you here to give you the choice. In short, you are the next head of the Shi Huaiya Family."

"He wants you to use my power to completely eliminate all voices of resistance and complete the family's transformation with crimson blood."

Huang Cao ordered another bowl of borscht, Ursus- style soup, so thick it looked like blood.

Chapter 685 Year: Mixed Flavors Are Really Good

"Isn't this illegal..."

Shi Huaiya complained, "It sounds like a line from a shonen manga. Can't we just go through the proper legal process? I know you're great, but isn't this a bit too violent?"

Huang Cao laughed, "Okay, I admit it's a bit childish. Hundreds of years have passed, and perhaps my thinking is different from most people's now, but my suggestion just now will not change. When the rebels' knives are at your throat, you'll know how much you regret not eliminating them sooner."

"These people's assets account for about 45% of the Shi Huaiya Family's total assets. Once it exceeds half, Adams will be in a real predicament. If you agree to the plan I just proposed, after dealing with these people, this 45% will all go to Utopia Bank. What do you say?"

Shi Huaiya asked, "What do you mean by 'solution'? Does it really mean directly...?"

"That's right, eliminate them as quickly as possible, cut the weeds and wipe them out completely."

"But these people are all my brothers and sisters from the same clan."

Huang Cao continued, "Why do you think Adams sent you to see me? He must know my style, so this was Adams's choice."

"Take the human immune system as an example. Under normal circumstances, it will do its best to protect the survival of the individual, but when it really can't, it will kill its own host to ensure the continuation of the species."

"These parasites are now threatening the survival of the entire family. However, he is seriously ill and, though eager to fight them, is powerless to reverse the situation, which is why he is seeking my help."

"The reason he didn't tell you himself is precisely because he values your kindness and compassion. So he made me be the villain to break the silence. Go back and ask your grandfather. I've received the letter. If you agree to the conditions I just proposed, I will help you."

After saying that, Huang Cao continued with a well-intentioned reminder: "My suggestion is to agree to my request, because no one knows if things might suddenly change in Lungmen."

Adam, this sick tiger, must have received some information.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a hurry to cut their losses and survive, or perhaps they didn't receive any information at all and were just guessing based on their own abilities.

But in any case, the choice now rests in the hands of Shi Huaiya, the little tiger.

Shi Huaiya walked away unsteadily, not believing what Master Huang had said. She couldn't believe that her kind grandfather would make such a decision.

Looks like someone's having trouble sleeping again tonight.

The big rabbits, busy in the kitchen, said...

Hilda and Amiya are both little rabbits, and naturally they will grow up to be big rabbits. Ray and Miss Charlotte (the tyrant) have long been adults, so they are naturally big rabbits.

Charlotte: "You have to be patient with girls, you know. That young lady was completely terrified."

Huang Cao nodded. "Indeed, but I can't take the blame for this. Adams knows me. If he came here in person, I'd probably give him a piece of my mind. But sending a young girl is a different story."

"Speaking of which, it's been two days since we arrived in Lungmen. Besides the one I Ansuo joining Rhodes Island, has anyone else joined?"

Charlotte said, "Speaking of newcomers, a girl named Nian came for an interview today. She has two horns on her head and a tail on her back, and she looks like a noblewoman from the Yan Country."

"I just finished the first round of testing, and I even had a meal in the cafeteria."

Joined Rhodes Island in [year]?

Is she no longer making movies? Perhaps she wants to spend time with her sisters?

But if this dragon wanted to join Rhodes Island, it could simply say hello; there was no need for it to take the entrance exam.

Huang Cao didn't think that far ahead. In terms of experience, everyone in the Sui family was far superior to him. Perhaps this was the mark of Immortals...

"Does the cafeteria still have beer? Give me another dozen, and a few more plates of braised meat too."

"Enough is enough."

The late night is a man's romance, Master Huang slowly savored his personal time.

That's life; you have to balance the good and the bad to truly appreciate its flavor.
