Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Xi Tan never saw Chen Yi again.

There was no need to see him either. He almost wrote down the dialogue portions of the Liu and Cao families in the four-family meeting like meeting minutes; as for the other two families, he used international communication conventions, blacking them out or replacing them with black lines—you guess for yourselves.

Naked Bear received this document and, while handing it to Chen Yi, kept clicking his tongue in amazement, saying: "This old geezer is too powerful, look, in a two-hour meeting, at least several hundred sentences, plus some jokes, he memorized them all."

"This is called recitation." Chen Yi casually flipped through it, habitually reached to stamp and sign, then stopped again, and incidentally sighed regretfully.

Shenjia relies on accumulation; "not one can be missing" is the faith of Divine Art Knights.

"That's also impressive. Holding a meeting, drinking tea, whoever said what all remembered in the brain."

"He deliberately memorized it." Liu Xinyu changed into a dress, revealing her fine figure.

She wasn't very patient with concrete and minute administrative work, but liked thrilling excitement. Life on Earth was boring, so she went to the West Continent to do mineral exploration work; now that there were more officials at West River Water Fortress, she returned to actively participate in the silent struggle between Jiangning and Xijing.

Naked Bear, hearing Liu Xinyu's words, said incredulously: "He knows he's going to be caught?"

"He remembers every time, for insurance." Liu Xinyu looked at Chen Yi and smiled: "Cao Zhun was just too careless, boasting of being meticulous, and ended up dragging the Cao family into it too."

Just the first half of that sentence made Naked Bear secretly gasp. After leaving the village, he worked in his clansman's Paper Supermarket, surrounded by rough and honest men; figures like Xi Tan, sinister and cunning, outstanding among the elite, he had neither the chance to meet nor to appreciate their performances.

Chen Yi nodded too. Without items like Intelligence Scrolls to help, he had no ability to recite a two-hour meeting without missing anything—that was several hundred or thousand sentences. As for the parts crossed out with black ink, he believed Xi Tan remembered them too.

"Send Xi Tan back, no need to keep him detained anymore."

"After he goes back, will he talk nonsense?" Naked Bear was still a bit worried.

"Of course he will, and he'll tell the Xi family that he sold out both the Cao and Liu families, see what they do."

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Liu Xinyu giggled, her eyes full of uncontainable spring feelings.

Power has the magic of a Phantom Wand, making one's mouth water just thinking about it.

Seeing they had a settled plan, Naked Bear left as told.

He bluntly found Xi Tan, standing under the grape trellis and roared: "That Tin Pot, Hall Master means you can go back."

"Go back?"

"Mm, let you go."

"Just let me wear these clothes?" Xi Tan tugged at the sleeping robe on his body, shrugging: "At least return the clothes I came in?"

Naked Bear thought for a moment and said: "Hall Master didn't say."

"Didn't say..." Xi Tan laughed and cried helplessly, saying: "Finding me clothes, do I need to ask Chen Yi to explain?"

"Of course. Let me go ask."

"Wait, wait." Xi Tan got anxious and shouted: "If you go back now, you might not find Chen Yi, but if you don't let me go back today, it'll cause trouble, trouble for Chen Yi."

Naked Bear looked at Xi Tan suspiciously, looked up and down, left and right, and finally said seriously: "I don't believe you!"

"Blockhead." Xi Tan roared, cursing: "I hate your kind of blockhead the most, the Staff Department too, the Fleet too, the Special Operations Team too, a bunch of blockheads who only cause trouble. Don't you think, if Chen Yi wasn't using me for something, would he let me go back?"

Naked Bear thought it over, laughed, and said: "I understand. You really want to trick me."

"Hey, how did I trick you again?"

He hadn't finished speaking when Naked Bear interrupted: "You still dare say you're not tricking me? You're locked up here, your master hasn't come, right? How do you know he asked you to do something? Through others? Besides me, who is allowed to see you?"

"You're truly honest..." Xi Tan said, seeming to praise but actually belittling.

"Exposed by me, just stay put." Seeing such a clever fellow seen through by himself, Naked Bear almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Actually, his back molars were showing.

Xi Tan looked at Naked Bear helplessly and said: "I guessed."

"How did you guess?" Naked Bear didn't believe him.

"This..." Xi Tan really felt like playing the lute to a cow. But since he was locked in the vineyard and wanted to get out sooner, he had to reluctantly explain: "Your Hall Master wants me to go back and persuade the family to help him. So, the sooner I get out, the more stable your Hall Master's plan will be. Understand?"

Naked Bear again showed his honesty and said: "Don't understand, it would be strange if you didn't retaliate after going out. I say, you should be thrown somewhere you can't come back from, working like a slave."

Xi Tan really wanted to spit blood on that big mouth, and said angrily and quickly: "What's there not to understand? My testimony accuses the Cao and Liu families; I've offended them, so I can only help Chen Yi win."

Generally speaking, Aristocratic Scions and families are interest communities bound together. But in some situations, their interests go in different directions. Xi Tan's best interest is to persuade the family to thoroughly crush the Liu and Cao families. The Xi family's most suitable interest is to ignore this and watch the Liu, Cao, and Chen families fight; if the latter succeeds, no need to say, if the former succeeds, they can also hand Xi Tan over to avoid disaster.

Thus, although not gaining much benefit, one can avoid any risk. But not for Xi Tan; his risk would increase several times because of this.

The essence of simmering over a low fire lies here.

Chen Yi didn't need to do anything; he stewed an ingredient, and this ingredient would naturally flow out oil to help stew the dishes beside it.

Interlocking interests are like layers of material laid one upon another.

Once the first ring is done, the second ring has no choice; once one layer is cooked, the second layer has no choice!

Using Special Operations Team members to stew the Xi family is meaningless, using Fu Polin is also meaningless, even Xi Tan directly stewing won't work; only when Cao and Liu families might create a chain disaster can Xi Tan cooperate with them to stew the Xi family thoroughly.

With the Xi family's help, the speed of stewing the Cao and Liu families will be much faster.

During yesterday's talk, Xi Tan only vaguely thought of this layer, but when reciting the meeting minutes, he understood it clearly.

Chen Yi not only wanted him to be a witness, proving that the upper class of the Cao and Liu families indeed participated in the City Treasury robbery, but also wanted him, when left with no choice, to persuade the Xi family to turn and bite the two families.

He understood it, but Xi Tan still had to do it.

The so-called open scheme is forcing you to take an easy path, otherwise you'd risk losing even more.

Xi Tan was not an unyielding stubborn faction; otherwise he wouldn't have surrendered. Since he surrendered, and bet on Chen Yi winning, for the victory of this gamble, dragging in family interests is a very natural, no-choice method.

Political tacit understanding sounds complex but is actually simple.

For some people, it's as normal as breathing; for others—Xi Tan glanced at Naked Bear and decisively had no mood to explain in detail.

"Forget it, if you won't return the clothes then fine, arrange a car to take me to the Supermarket Head Office? Or a private airplane is even better."

"Think about it, just you." The naked bear pushed open the door, his voice carried to Xi Tan on the cold wind: "Let you go, run fast, be careful not to get caught again."

Xi Tan wrapped in a bathrobe, that was a mixture of sadness and indignation, he shouted angrily: "No clothes at all, how do I go back? I'm going back to Xijing, not back to the mountains to be a wild man!"

Seeing his nose turn sour, the naked bear's sympathy burst forth, he tremblingly fished out 50 yuan, threw it to him, covered his eyes and shouted: "Go quickly go quickly, if I still see you in a while, I'll take the money back."

Xi Tan shuffled in slippers, stumbling as he rushed out.

Fortunately September's weather wasn't too cold.

Xijing even more exuded a rotting heat.

Any country's political center must hide dirty, corrupt, obscene, bloody, and ugly faces and stories, and constantly ferment to nourish political bacteria, just like Washington where brokers gather, Tokyo where black money politics prevails, London where bureaucracy runs rampant...

The only thing Xijing can boast of is probably its rottenness.

Or call it history!

Chen Yi closely followed Xi Tan's flight, landing in Xijing.

The azure sky, filled with all kinds of man-made objects, passengers either high-spirited or busy and dizzy like maggots attached to rotten leaves drifting on the river, no matter how desperately they wriggle, cannot change the river's direction.

Thinking that he had just come down from the sky, yet complained that the airplane affected his view. Chen Yi couldn't help but shake his head. Humans are exclusive creatures, monopolizing more than sharing, the struggle and possession of power will be an eternal unchanging political theme.

"Young Master Mo has arrived." Fang Zhong, just returned from the Western Frontier, happily breathed the relatively humid air, not a trace of post-flight fatigue. Nearly half a year of mine construction let him experience the plateau scenery, also trained a pretty good physique, however, he would absolutely never be a porter and climber again.

Chen Yi raised his face, from far away he saw the jade thumb ring on Mo Shaoqiu's left hand.

Got out of the car, Tang suit and old cloth shoes standing tall, the naked bear laughed first.

"Xiong Luzi, laughing at what." Mo Shaoqiu's face couldn't quite hold it, but his pace remained firm.

"You're back from performing opera?"

"Doing business, now this style is required." Mo Shaoqiu finished speaking, did a thousand-er, and sang: "Inviting Master Chen to get in the car."

"Don't call randomly, easy to confuse." Chen Yi knew his temperament, and didn't seek to change it.

Mo Shaoqiu invited several people into the car, personally drove, saying: "Knowing you don't like fanfare, I came myself."

"Good. How is Old Master Mo recently?"

Mo Shaoqiu haha laughed out loud, saying: "I knew you'd ask. Old Master's body is pretty good, right now probably waiting for dinner."

"Take me there."

"Alright." Mo Shaoqiu knew what he wanted to do, so didn't even ask.
