A breeze blew by, and that smell, tsk tsk tsk, was simply unbearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Yun Ran had an exceptionally sharp sense of smell, so she silently added a protective barrier around herself, fearing she’d be suffocated before the sunrise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a distraction, time flew by in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the sunrise broke through the clouds, everyone gasped in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Xuan Chu was somewhat shocked by the scene before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turns out, standing at the mountain’s peak and witnessing the sunrise firsthand was truly breathtaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, Yun Ran’s phone rang, quite inappropriately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, she had already seen the sun break through the clouds; otherwise, she would have really held a grudge against the caller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down and saw it was a call from Golden Master Xie Xuzhi, so it was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran answered the call: \"Director Xie, morning~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Xuzhi glanced at the sky outside; it was barely dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Yun Ran’s usual grumpy morning personality, receiving a call so promptly and speaking so softly felt somewhat off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve returned and should be at Five Emperors Mountain this afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran thought Xie Xuzhi was calling to \"warn\" her; after all, she rarely made a move, but when she did, it was with overwhelming destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many tourists at Five Emperors Mountain, any disturbance could randomly cause a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it, don’t worry, I’ll be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Xuzhi: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that what he meant? And since when did Yun Ran learn to interrupt? This was not a good sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you’re sensible, I just wanted to say, be cautious. I’ve had someone check overnight; the situation at Five Emperors Mountain is a bit complex...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Yun Ran pointing out the problem at Five Emperors Mountain, Xie Xuzhi would never have imagined there were five \"dormant\" unofficial dragon veins there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when the Special Administration Bureau was first established, people were sent to investigate anomalies, with dragon veins being one of the target areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If dragon veins fell into the hands of an Evil Cultivator, the harm could be astounding, but severing a dragon vein directly wasn’t simple either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a dormant dragon vein, once out of control, could cause earthquakes and landslides, which are considered light consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when the Special Administration Bureau discovered a dragon vein’s location, corresponding personnel were dispatched to guard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peace was best, at least it could protect the lives in its vicinity, allowing the mountains, flowers, grass, and trees to flourish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if a dragon vein developed spiritual wisdom, or even a Demon Dragon spirit, Special Administration Bureau members would sacrifice everything to slay the Demon Dragon if necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangding Villa in Hai City was built atop a dragon vein as a precaution against the dragon vein birthing a Demon Dragon spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the dragon veins at Five Emperors Mountain were not documented at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could only mean one thing: centuries ago, someone within the Special Administration Bureau tampered with the records, and that person’s status was evidently high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it’s impossible for the records to be erased so cleanly, and for so many years, no one detected anything amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xie Xuzhi had an intuition that the vast unseen net that had been troubling his heart was about to surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first took over the Special Administration Bureau, he began employing young people not from aristocratic families as soon as he took office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many said he was rash, even suggesting he wanted to cultivate his own team and eliminate dissenters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Xie Xuzhi himself knew he was just feeling uneasy, taking precautions to keep a backup plan in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, reality proved his intuition was correct. Yun Ran indeed was his lucky star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before, this time, Xie Xuzhi didn’t rush to suppress the matter, merely instructing his confidants or trustworthy Mystical Sect families to go there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two non-stop days and just returning to the country, he didn’t rest, heading straight back to the headquarters of the Special Administration Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though those called urgently harbored some misgivings, no one dared question anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over a year, everyone noticeably felt Xie Xuzhi’s increasing pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xie Xuzhi entered, everyone stood up, respectfully saluting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Xie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight people followed behind Xie Xuzhi, each carrying a briefcase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this wasn’t the headquarters of the Special Administration Bureau, the scene truly resembled something from a TV show where a domineering CEO descends upon a meeting room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching his seat, Xie Xuzhi sat down directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others remained standing, but just with a casual glance from Xie Xuzhi, everyone felt a chill down their spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those who were his confidants mulled things over in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept reflecting, wondering if they had left anything undone, or if there was something they missed that had been reported to Director Xie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone’s hearts were about to leap into their throats, Xie Xuzhi finally spoke: \"Please sit down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Xie Xuzhi had spoken, no one truly dared to relax, much like sitting arrogantly as they usually might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone straightened their backs, only daring to sit on the edge of the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ministers responsible for investigating anomalies nationwide, stand up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Zhou had just sat down but immediately stood up at attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though unaware of the events, maintaining demeanor was important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Xie, it’s me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Xuzhi certainly knew it was him. Besides the most grassroots positions, he was fully aware of who was assigned where within the Special Administration Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minister Zhou, can you tell me, over the years, have your subordinates been earnestly executing their duties?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the crowd didn’t yet know what was happening, they were already internally cursing Minister Zhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were suffering undue calamity, clearly due to negligence by Minister Zhou’s subordinates and being caught by Director Xie’s team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were dragged into this collective punishment — how unjust they felt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Zhou was silently cursing the irresponsible guys under him, who always filed for subsidies faster than anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was suffering for being a minister detached from the grassroots for years, knowing nothing about the games played below him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, he avoided wrongdoing and purging by being savvy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seat wasn’t even warm yet, and the sword above his head had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how aggrieved or angry, facing Director Xie’s questions, Minister Zhou dared not fob it off or claim ignorance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only carefully weigh his words: \"Director Xie, has something happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1105,"2026-06-06T11:49:06.359Z",1,"novelbin.me","94ac8cda30002e720552c024dd489368ef9c98524d2d658c49c4afdbd8309817","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-823","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-733",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
