Chen Yi
Diao Lixin didn't want to do the work of a servant, but in Yin Senyong's eyes, a knight attendant was nothing more than a sturdy slave to be used as much as possible before he became a knight.
Once the two men's beliefs clashed, obviously the one with the strongest violence won.
So Diao Lixin truly became Yin Senyong's knight attendant. Starting with scrubbing toilets and washing bathrooms, arranging the restaurant and shining shoes were also important parts of his job. His only two spare moments were spent buying the Divine Oil Yin Senyong needed as a knight, and then discussing with some fellow from a consulting company what "mercy" meant, what "honesty" meant.
Diao Lixin felt he was going crazy. The next morning at breakfast, he couldn't help but say to Knight Yin Senyong: "If you truly have mercy in your heart, you should let me go."
Knight Yin Senyong gave him a few lashes, a very natural, spontaneous whip from the heart, like kicking his own native dog twice. Then, Knight Yin Senyong said in an admonishing tone to Diao Lixin: "My mercy will not be given to lazy bums. As a knight attendant, your suffering is the knight's trial. Since you promised to become a knight attendant, I have an obligation to help you fulfill your vow. Letting you go now would be irresponsible toward you. Poor child, wipe my leather shoes clean for me carefully. One day you will become a knight. If it weren't for this damn place having no knight school, you wouldn't even be qualified to be my knight attendant. Also, one very important point: do not challenge my faith. If you cause my faith to decline, child, I will kill you with my own hands."
Diao Lixin stared blankly at Yin Senyong's finger, as if it were a gun barrel.
"I just want to practice body techniques in private... who are you?"
"Yin Senyong of the direct lineage of the Yin Sen Family. When the day comes that you become a knight, I will introduce you to join the family's knight order, and then you will know my rank." Yin Senyong held his head high, just like a noble introducing his family.
Diao Lixin's shoulders burned with pain, his eyes like a kicked native dog, completely not understanding the situation.
"Go talk to Quan Cong again." After eating konjac, Yin Senyong's tone was strange as he said: "You must remember, faith, everything is for faith."
"Fine, I'll go communicate with him again." In Diao Lixin's view, this was perhaps the only somewhat normal job of a knight attendant, though the purpose was absurd as hell.
"Go after breakfast." Knight Yin Senyong said politely.
Diao Lixin, who had been kicked awake at five in the morning to clean toilets, was flattered as he said: "Oh, breakfast, having breakfast is great."
"Eat." Knight Yin Senyong threw a bone-in elbow onto the ground, then tossed down a large piece of black bread.
Diao Lixin's lips trembled as he said: "This is too much. You..."
Yin Senyong had stayed on Earth for some days and knew what the people here were like. But his thinking was deeply ingrained as he said: "Do not compare yourself with those commoners. You are a knight attendant. Before you become a knight, I am your master. Eating under the master's feet is your honor. Now, don't waste food, go enjoy your meal. Today's bone is very good. This animal called a pig is very delicious, its thick fat as if stuck to the mouth... Alright, don't act like those detestable commoners. Finish it quickly. I'm leaving."
His meaning was to give Diao Lixin a chance to eat under his feet.
From yesterday to today, Diao Lixin had already been beaten three times, so he very wisely chose a roundabout way of speaking: "Master Yin Senyong, I suddenly am not hungry."
"I gave you food, you must finish it." Yin Senyong's whip was raised again.
Diao Lixin was forced to have no choice but to squat on the ground and finish a large elbow and a whole piece of black bread... eating with tears streaming down his face.
Yin Senyong nodded with satisfaction, and his chest actually felt a burning heat. Needless to say, letting his knight attendant eat grain, and under his feet at that, was a great "mercy"—on the West Continent, even a city-state lord's knight attendant only got meat.
Different people and temples would have different ways of recognizing faith. The so-called universal morals or standards are ultimately established by people. Just as the Chinese world after Zhu Xi believed in "chastity," 21st-century Europe could likewise believe in "promiscuity." Of course, if a temple or religion on Earth wanted to establish a new faith called "sexual love," then as long as "chastity" or "promiscuity" was consistent, one could be selected, becoming an honorable Chastity Knight or Promiscuity Knight.
Diao Lixin left the house as fast as he could. Yin Senyong put on a neat black suit, stretched his muscles and bones a little, then went to the door to wait for Chen Congyu to set out.
His bodyguard work hours were mainly during the day, while at night it was the protection time of several special forces instructors. Up to now, Yin Senyong's only special trait was that he didn't sweat when running. Combat Knights had enough ability to control the flow of their own liquids, including blood and bodily fluids. If he didn't want sweat to soak his shirt, then it wouldn't be soaked.
Extreme control over the body was the internal standard of Combat Knights. When they possessed high-level battle qi, they could even control other people's bodies. In other words, make others soak wet if you want them soaked, make others flow out if you want them to flow out—even in the modern 21st century, this was a very practical skill, usable for filming small movies or for being an assassin. Both were primitive and eternal professions.
Chen Congyu went out and greeted Yin Senyong, smiling and asking: "Did you sleep well?"
"Very well, thank you for asking, sir. My attendant is too lazy. I got up at five to train his willpower and stamina." Yin Senyong answered very formally. Sitting in the car, he held his hands on his knees, neither restrained nor relaxed.
"Your attendant, is he from your hometown?" Chen Congyu also quite liked Yin Senyong's knightly bearing.
"Oh, hired yesterday. A local native commoner, weak combat power, somewhat devout." Yin Senyong said lightly, as if introducing someone's native dog.
The small Audi stopped lightly inside the CPPCC building.
Chen Congyu had just arrived at the office when he saw a man standing at the door, but the secretary was nowhere to be seen.
"Yin Senyong, make yourself at home. This Xiao Liu..."
"I let him go." The man at the door interrupted him.
Chen Congyu asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"Ming An Tu's uncle, Zheng Datong of Mingde Group."
"Mr. Zheng, what is it?" Chen Congyu gave Yin Senyong a look, and the latter also walked into the office, sitting on an old-fashioned sofa chair. The office supplies of the CPPCC were all old-fashioned everywhere.
"Can we talk alone?" Zheng Datong didn't want to speak in front of a third person.
Chen Congyu ignored him and sneered: "Perhaps you can make an appointment for another time and call my secretary."
Yin Senyong stood up immediately and said: "Sir, I'll see you out."
"Wait, wait." Zheng Datong's eyes were spitting fire, as if muttering to himself: "You two grandfathers have the same temper. I want to talk about my Ming An Tu's matter."
"What matter?"
"Mr. Chen, if you say that, we can't continue talking."
"Then there's no need to talk." Chen Congyu sat on his own desk, opened a document, and said: "I have other business. Let's make an appointment next time."
Zheng Datong became anxious and said sternly: "Mr. Chen, the Chen Family sent people to abduct Ming An Tu. This is no small matter. I came to resolve the problem peacefully. Not... not to play word games."
"Abduct?" Chen Congyu obviously didn't know about this.
"He's locked up in the Security Bureau right now." Although the Ming Family didn't have the ability to resolve the problem, they had at least found out the news clearly.
"Really?"
"Of course, the person is inside. Otherwise, why would I come to see you first thing in the morning?" Zheng Datong felt there was a turning point. If this matter wasn't ordered by the Chen Family but was just done by the Security Bureau itself, Mingde Group had a way to skin Zhu Guangliang alive.
Chen Congyu knew far more information than the Ming Family.
Within the Chen Family, various power succession works were underway. But besides military resources shifting to Chen Guoliang, the rest of the resources were essentially shifting to Chen Yi.
This was a small secret that the whole family realized but didn't speak of.
Because it couldn't be said, and couldn't be spoken of. The Chen Family's third generation wasn't just Chen Yi alone. Public succession would lead to very serious internal strife risks.
As for the current subtle transfer, it still belonged to the pattern of whoever had the ability inherited. However, if the family core was set as Chen Yi, then even if other assets were transferred to someone else's name, control rights would ultimately be weaker than Chen Yi's.
Jiangning's police and security systems were the same, including officials like Yan Hang and Zhu Guangliang, who currently all looked to Chen Yi for direction. Chen Congyu knew this, but Mingde Group probably didn't.
"I can look into this matter, but you need to tell me what happened." Chen Congyu picked up the phone and still decided to intervene and see.
It was indeed Chen Yi who gave the order; he needed to communicate a thing or two. If it wasn't, then perhaps the responsible party really needed to be held accountable. Ordinary people can be played hide-and-seek with at will; that is because his power is insufficient, not because the law isn't sound enough — although it indeed isn't sound enough either. But with Mingde Group's strength, if they were to arrest Ming An Tu for no reason, the other side going through official channels would be enough to give the Safety Bureau a real headache.
Zheng Datong's expression relaxed somewhat as he said: "The matter starts from the day before yesterday. Young Master Ming lost some cash on the yacht, followed by yesterday's kidnapping. Later we inquired through multiple channels..."
Chen Congyu also got through on the phone at this time. After saying a couple of sentences, his face darkened. Then, after ending the call, he frowned and said: "Your family's Ming An Tu, did he secretly film quite a few officials' video tapes?"
"This... I don't know."
"Then I don't know either."
Zheng Datong paused, then asked: "Then what are your demands?"
"You've got the wrong person. However, I'll pass on a message: take out all the video tapes, and Ming An Tu scram." Chen Congyu was also quite furious. Sexual bribery was already bad enough; secretly filming pornographic video tapes was something that harmed the majority of people even more.
