Chen, the Nearl Guard Bureau's Commissioner, Was Corrupted by Luo Chen Long Ago
"As you all know, my favorite approach to business is to achieve a win-win situation."
"Governor Wei is currently being harassed by the conglomerates of Lungmen, our business in the Lower City is being boycotted by these corporate tycoons, and the Empire has arranged for us to conduct urban warfare training and simulations."
"Then why don't we attack Lungmen? We just need to loot all the conglomerates in Lungmen's Upper City and hang them all!"
"This way, Governor Wei was freed from the trouble of being harassed by the conglomerates, we took over their businesses, and at the same time completed the urban warfare training required by the Empire."
"What do you think of this plan? Does anyone have any questions?"
After Luo Chen finished speaking, he quietly rested his chin on his hand, waiting for others to offer different opinions.
Skullshatterer, FrostNova, and Nine fully support Luo Chen's plan.
Mephisto and Faust, not understanding, remained silent.
Patriot didn't doubt Luo Chen's ability to do this, but they had some doubts about Wei Yenwu's capacity to endure it.
Is this the answer he wanted?
The only one who raised a reasonable question was Talulah:
"Are we underestimating the difficulty of Lungmen?"
"Lungmen is one of the wealthiest cities on this land, with tens of thousands of the Lungmen Guard Department officers."
"Even if your plan only targets the conglomerates in Lungmen, Wei Yenwu, as the local governor, cannot fail to protect these conglomerates."
"Regardless of your initial intentions, your plan will ultimately lead to a complete break between us and Wei Yenwu."
"And speaking of military operations..."
"Although our Reunion Movement has grown to tens of thousands of members after this period of consolidation, we are still far from being a match for the Lungmen Guard Department in terms of quality and fighting spirit."
"Not to mention, they are fighting on home soil, with Lungmen possessing a large number of defensive fortifications and weapons."
"We have no defenses against them; entering their controlled area is like entering an ambush."
"Let's not end up like this, where we enter Lungmen and never get out, fighting the Lungmen Guard Department to the death, only to have the Empire reap the benefits."
The Reunion Movement attacks Lungmen.
Anyone with a sound mind can see who is stronger and who is weaker.
Even if the Reunion Movement has Patriot, it is impossible for them to defeat Lungmen, which is backed by the Yan.
The ultimate result of the Reunion Movement's actions was that they were like moths drawn to a flame, resulting in total annihilation.
"Talulah is right. The most important thing for us to carry out this plan is intelligence."
"We need to find someone in the know and get them to provide us with a detailed breakdown of Lungmen's defenses and troop deployment."
"Finally, we also need the Lungmen Guard Department to cooperate with our plan."
"Where are we going to find someone to help us?" Talulah frowned, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.
"Isn't your sister on her way? It's perfect timing Governor Wei told us to teach her a lesson, so let's get information out of her and achieve a win-win-win situation."
"..."
Talulah was speechless with emotion.
That guy is a real bastard!
Compared to him, Koschei is a really good person.
Could he have been thinking that all along?
So he deliberately provoked Chen Huijie to run away from home, just to lure her here?
"I disagree!"
Talulah her arms; she would rather die than allow her sister to be used for evil.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen squinted his left eye and scrutinized Talulah:
"Talulah, you really don't agree with my plan?"
"That's my sister! I won't allow it!"
"Alright, let's get straight to the third problem." Luo Chen smiled dismissively. "I've decided to appoint someone as my deputy."
Upon hearing this, FrostNova and Jiu immediately perked up, eagerly anticipating hearing their names mentioned by Luo Chen.
Luo Chen glanced at the two of them and said with a mischievous smile:
"The best person to be my second-in-command is Talulah."
"Talulah was able to give me a wake-up call when everyone was blindly following the crowd; I think she's my emergency insurance."
"It's also a great medicine to keep my mind clear at all times."
"Her ability to remain unaffected by the atmosphere successfully piqued my interest."
"I want her to be my assistant and help me with my work."
As Luo Chen spoke, FrostNova and Jiu's eyes gradually turned cold.
They thought they were the best candidates to be the second-in-command, but unexpectedly, Talulah appeared out of nowhere.
Moreover, Talulah used her sister as a shield to deliberately pique Luo Chen's interest.
She is truly a formidable opponent.
This time, FrostNova and Nine put aside their mutual hostility and joined forces, glaring resentfully at Talulah together.
It's both an expression of anger at having worked so hard for so long only to have someone else reap the rewards.
He further warned Talulah that he would never let her get away with it again.
"******" A thousand Ursus curses flashed through Talulah's mind.
This beast's solution to this chaotic situation is to create a new target for them?
Talulah could already imagine what it would be like to become Luo Chen's right-hand woman.
That guy will definitely do something on purpose to cause misunderstandings.
This completely drew the hatred of FrostNova and Nine to himself.
Thus, the original competition between Nine and FrostNova became a competition between the two of them and themselves.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen, the mastermind behind all of this, remained unharmed, hiding to the sidelines.
Didn't I just reject his plan?
He actually resorted to such despicable means.
Xiao Chen is his own sister; how could he possibly betray her?
Luo Chen noticed the change in Talulah's expression, as if she had just swallowed an arrow; his tone became even more flippant.
"Talulah, are you worried about your relationship with your sister?"
"Do you feel guilty for taking advantage of your sister? Does it affect your relationship?"
"Don't you know everything?" Talulah, speechless.
Luo Chen continued:
"Well then, to dispel your concerns, I'll make a promise to everyone in front of all of you."
"Our plan will absolutely not damage your relationship with Chen Huijie; in fact, your sisterly bond will be strengthened after this incident."
Luo Chen's words were extremely tempting.
If Luo Chen doesn't ruin the relationship between her and her sister, then it wouldn't be a bad thing to teach Chen Huijie a lesson.
Of course, Talulah's thinking was definitely not because she was afraid of being targeted by FrostNova and Nine.
Rather, it is a rational analysis based on reason.
"If you promise not to harm Xiao Chen, I'll agree to your plan."
"I guarantee that Commander Chen won't lose a single hair."
Talulah nodded. "About the deputy?"
Luo Chen spread his hands:
"Of course, you'll still be my deputy."
"Then why did you say those things to me just now?"
"I was just advising you to carry out the plan, not asking you to step down as deputy. I didn't say any of that. Talulah, I have high hopes for you. You're more educated than FrostNova and understand the rules of officialdom better than Nine. You're the most suitable person for me."
"Huh!"
Talulah was shocked; she could feel the room temperature dropping rapidly.
In Chapter 237, Superintendent Chen of the Lungmen Guard Department had long been corrupted by Luo Chen.
In the dead of night, the moonlight, as silvery as silver, bathed the Chernobog Mountains.
The area around the village was quiet, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the night.
In the silence, a figure flashed by silently, seemingly blending into the night, yet carrying an unusual sense of urgency and mystery.
The figure moved swiftly and nimbly, like a ghost in the night, silently traversing the edge of the village.
A person suddenly collapsed to the ground, appearing quite abrupt.
Those were members of the Reunion Movement standing guard at the village entrance. He had no idea he would be attacked and was knocked unconscious by Chen Huijie without any warning.
Chen Huijie gripped the sword sheath tightly, the cold wind blowing through her hair, a fierce glint in her eyes.
"Talulah... I've come to save you."
Chen Huijie looked indignantly at the lights in the village.
Although Chen Huijie had long known that Luo Chen was a once-in-a-century scourge.
But I never imagined this guy would be this dangerous.
Not only did they carry out forced labor in Lungmen and massacres around Chernobog, but they also used conspiracies and tricks to seize power from the Reunion Movement, tying Talulah to the bottom of the furnace and using her as firewood.
Luo Chen's true intention wasn't so much to go undercover, but rather to use the excuse of being an undercover agent to unleash his true nature.
Give him some more time, and he might just wipe out the Lungmen.
If she had known Luo Chen was capable of such a thing, she would have risked her life to stay with Luo Chen and risk everything.
However, it's not too late now.
As long as I act cautiously, even if I can't bring Luo Chen to justice, I can at least rescue Talulah.
The fact that a guard here has fallen into a coma could alert the Reunion Movement within hours at the latest.
She had to race against time to rescue Talulah from that beast Luo Chen.
After dragging the unconscious Reunion Movement members into a pile of weeds, Chen Huijie slowly disappeared into the village.
With her keen intuition and years of practical experience, Chen Huijie easily bypassed the Reunion Movement's overt and covert sentries and quietly infiltrated the Reunion Movement's camp in the village.
Chen Huijie leaned quietly against the wall, her gaze peering through the crack in the window like that of a wary cheetah, observing everything in the camp.
The moonlight fell on her face, reflecting her resolute yet complex expression.
Her heart raced as her gaze moved, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the wall tightly, as if trying to draw strength from it.
Her gaze swept across the tents in the camp, finally settling on a familiar figure.
That was her sister, Talulah, who had once been the person she respected most, but now she was being cruelly tied to the ground.
Talulah was pale, her clothes were disheveled, and she looked utterly wretched, as if she had just suffered a cruel punishment.
Her eyes were filled with terror and despair, a stark contrast to the dignified and powerful older sister she once was.
"Talulah!"
An indescribable anger welled up in Chen Huijie's heart.
She couldn't believe that the incredibly tall and strong person she remembered, who had always protected and supported her, had ended up like this.
