Old Han would definitely not ask this for no reason.
Jiang Yue did not answer in a hurry, his eyes swept over the faces of everyone present. Except for Han Jingjing, whose face was full of worry and anxiety, the others were all old foxes who had achieved enlightenment and could not tell their thoughts at all.
Of course, this question is not difficult for Jiang Yue to answer.
"Han Chu, do you think I'm a quitter?"
Jiang Yue couldn't bear to call Han Yiming Lao Han in front of the ruler.
This answer did not surprise others.
Except for Han Jingjing, the other three people exchanged glances, and they all looked as if this was the case.
"Xiao Jiang, in your opinion, what signal does this incident convey?"
Jiang Yue made no secret of it: "My biggest feeling is that some people look too ugly when they eat."
"Is that all?"
"Even if this happens in a civil conflict, it seems very reckless. Shouldn't people in official circles cherish their wings? If you do this, no matter you win or lose, the impact will be very bad, right? It doesn't show political literacy and discipline at all. So, This seems very abnormal no matter how you look at it.”
Speaking of people in the officialdom, everyone's behavior seems to be stable. People with sharp, angular personalities and impulsive actions are rare in officialdom.
But in this matter, some people involved feel that they don't care about the impact at all.
Do they not care?
Or do they think that Jiang Yue is a small character who can be manipulated as he pleases?
The Lord in charge smiled and nodded: "Mr. Bai, it seems that Xiao Jiang's views coincide with ours."
Mr. Bai stared at Jiang Yue, smiled and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what do you think is hidden behind this abnormality?"
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Bai." Of course Jiang Yue couldn't know.
Mr. Bai smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I can't talk about giving advice. I invite you here just to discuss it together."
The scene fell into silence.
After a moment of silence, the leader suddenly spoke: "Xiao Jiang, I heard from Yi Ming that you mentioned to them more than once that there is a mysterious underground force lurking in Star City, right?"
"right."
"How much do you know about this matter?"
"Actually, there aren't many, but I can be sure that this force has strong penetration, strong control, and a very strict organizational structure. They must have some plans for Star City."
"If this force is allowed to develop, one day they will threaten Star City officials and even threaten the safety of the entire Star City. I have no doubt that they have this ability."
Jiang Yue is by no means an alarmist.
Since the Lord in charge personally asked about that mysterious force, Jiang Yue didn't shy away from it, and he didn't hide his words just because he was in front of the Lord in charge.
The various details shown by that force prove that their capabilities in many aspects even exceed those of the official.
They can penetrate into the Star City officialdom, bribe various high-ranking officials, and steal official secrets.
Even such a confidential department of the Operations Bureau has penetrated so deeply.
Even prisoners of war from the Operations Bureau can be taken away.
Moreover, according to the confession of Mr. Zhan, this force also has its own independent laboratory, and this laboratory is not just a small business. It has recruited many experts to conduct various advanced experiments.
From what Mr. Zhan said, that laboratory was completely built for the weird era, and many of the experiments it conducted were related to the weird era.
Those advanced concepts show that this force is well prepared for the strange era and can be said to be prepared for a rainy day. It's not a spur of the moment idea.
Being able to predict the coming of the strange era in advance, just the news ability alone is shocking enough.
Therefore, Jiang Yue felt that on this issue, there was nothing to hide and nothing to be taboo about.
After listening to this, the Lord in charge did not show any embarrassment or anger, he just frowned lightly.
"Mr. Bai, what do you think about this matter?"
"I don't want to believe it is true, but various details and clues show that what Xiao Jiang said is probably true."
"President, I have been investigating this matter these days, and many details are consistent with what Xiao Jiang described."
"Mr. Bai, could you please elaborate?"
Mr. Bai glanced at Jiang Yue and sighed: "To say this, I still have to thank classmate Xiao Jiang. It can be said that the cause of this investigation is still you."
"Oh?" Jiang Yue was a little confused.
"Do you still remember the Yunshan Times Square disappearance case? After that, did you give the Operation Bureau a silver bullet magazine as a gift?"
"That's what happened."
"Star City's scientific research department is still in the process of research and development, but this silver bullet has already been put into use by underground forces. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face. That incident made me wonder if there was an invisible person lurking in Star City. power?"
"So, since then, I have been secretly investigating, collecting clues, and digging deeper. The deeper I dug, the more frightened I became. Many seemingly unrelated cases, when the clues slowly emerged, the evidence chain was connected. Together, they all have the same direction. This direction is more and more proof that this underground force in Star City exists 100% and is by no means just a matter of speculation."
"Yunshan Times Square is just one of them. The subsequent attacks and kidnappings of awakened people, as well as several theft cases in the Operation Bureau, including many strange cases that have not been announced, all have human factors behind them. Although they are well hidden, but ass No matter how hard you wipe it clean, there will always be some odor left behind.”
This was the first time Jiang Yue heard someone explain things in such detail.
Of course, what Mr. Bai said coincided with the evidence Jiang Yue had.
"What's even more frightening is that this underground force has unknowingly penetrated into our official team, and it has penetrated extremely deeply. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is intricately connected. Perhaps, in the official team, colleagues who get along day and night, see They appear to be harmless to humans and animals, but they are very likely to have been bribed by this force. These hidden stakes are distributed in various departments. Once a conflict breaks out, they are unstable factors and even fatal factors. If they are allowed to develop more and more, in the end, Just like moths, it will slowly eat away at our official structure and turn it into an empty shell. At that time, as long as there is a certain opportunity, such as a large-scale disaster, or the promotion of a large-scale strange case, once the fuse is lit, They have turned from the dark to the bright, and are mainly anti-customers. They can definitely catch us off guard, and then justifiably take over Star City, take over the Central and South Region, and even..."
Mr. Bai did not describe it further because this hypothesis was a bit appalling and a bit taboo.
Simply put, it is ambition.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
When they turn from darkness to light, from the underground to the bright side, they fight in a showdown.
If you lose, it's Kou.
If they win, they will take their place and become official.
The ruler's face was solemn, and his fingers were tapping rhythmically on the armrests of the chair. It was obvious that he was deep in thought.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yue vaguely felt the reason why the Lord in charge called him over.
I also vaguely understood why they had asked him what he thought about the incident in Villa No. 9.
Under normal logic, it would be impossible for a high-ranking official to go into battle naked to seize a villa. No matter how valuable the villa was, it would not look so ugly.
Behind such an uncharacteristic performance and a performance that does not conform to the logic of officialdom...
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Could it be that……
When Jiang Yue thought of this, his heart felt awe-inspiring.
Reminiscent of the previous bombing of Daozi Lane Villa, and the replicators sneaking into Daozi Lane Villa...
An answer was ready to come out in Jiang Yue's mind.
After all, all of this still hasn't bypassed that weird underground force?
Mr. Bai stared at Jiang Yue and observed the changes in his face.
Suddenly he smiled: "The leader, classmate Xiao Jiang, is indeed more enlightened than I thought. I feel that he has already guessed the cause and effect without us having to say it explicitly."
"Oh?" The ruler's eyes lit up.
"Mr. Bai said this to imply to me that the fight for Villa No. 9 may seem outrageous and inconsistent with the officialdom ecology, but actually there is a higher-level logic behind it?"
Mr. Bai smiled and said: "Yes, children can be taught!"
"If all this is really related to that underground force, isn't this a bit of a showdown with each other?"
Mr. Bai shook his head: "Not necessarily!"
"In the current situation, we know about their existence, and they probably know that we know about their existence. But they don't know how much we know. At least in this matter, they may not know that we already know what they think we don't know. thing."
Mr. Bai's tongue twister seemed convoluted, but Jiang Yue understood it clearly.
To put it bluntly, the other party may not know that they know so much.
In the fight over the Daozi Lane villa, the underground forces did not take action and were not exposed at all.
The Lord in charge is just guessing.
If Mr. Bai, the hidden factor, had not been secretly investigating, and if Jiang Yue, the unexpected factor, had not interfered, the ruler would not have even realized that there were so many invisible factors behind the fight for Villa No. 9.
"But this doesn't rule out the possibility that they will suddenly attack, right?"
Mr. Bai smiled again and shook his head: "Otherwise! Unless an emergency disrupts their deployment, the time is far from mature yet."
What is considered ripe?
"From various indications, their layout has not been completed yet. Of course, this is just speculation. The most important reasons are these points."
"First, although the current disaster is serious, it has not completely destroyed the normal social structure; second, the official credibility has not been fatally impacted; third, the military has not been mobilized."
"Of course, there's another factor that's easily overlooked."
"What?"
"The Daozi Lane Villa has not yet fallen into their hands." Mr. Bai said solemnly.
Daozi Lane Villa again?
In fact, Jiang Yue has always guessed that there should be profound reasons for the establishment of Daozi Lane Villa. He also considered many factors related to Feng Shui.
However, there is not enough evidence to confirm this.
"Mr. Bai, how many mysteries are hidden behind the Daozi Lane Villa?" Jiang Yue couldn't help but ask.
Mr. Bai sighed: "Maybe my late father can answer this question for you when he is still alive. By the way, didn't you get Mr. Guo's instructions when you moved into Villa No. 9?"
Jiang Yue shook his head.
Villa No. 9 was really not given to him by Mr. Guo, but arranged by Zhiling.
In front of Zhiling, Mr. Guo is just a chess piece.
"Xiao Jiang, I am not questioning you. In fact, there must be a reason why you can stay in Villa No. 9, and it is even approved by Mr. Guo. I have no doubt about this. However, regarding Villa No. 9, Mr. Guo really Is there no explanation?"
"have!"
Jiang Yue took out the will that had just been revealed without hiding it.
After Mr. Bai read it, he was in awe.
He stood up, cupped his hands to Jiang Yue and said, "Mr. Jiang is indeed the successor recognized by Mr. Guo, so disrespectful!"
Although this old man in Bai Mo was quite polite to Jiang Yue, he had never paid much attention to it until now. It was obviously this will that convinced him of Jiang Yue's legal ownership of Villa No. 9.
Xiao Jiang also immediately became Mr. Jiang.
"Xiao Jiang, this villa No. 8 actually belongs to Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai's father was Mr. Guo's Taoist friend back then."
This surprised Jiang Yue.
In the end, it turns out that he and Mr. Bai Mo are neighbors?
Mr. Bai looked at Jiang Yue and said sincerely: "Mr. Jiang, when I was young, my father once accidentally mentioned that the Daozi Lane Villa contains a huge secret. This secret is hidden in seven tokens. This The seven tokens are owned by the owners of the seven villas respectively. My father is one of them, and Mr. Guo is also one of them. They are the seven villas from the 7th to the 13th. But what exactly are the seven tokens? I have been thinking about them all these years. We are still researching, but we still don’t know. I wonder if Mr. Guo left any clues?”
Jiang Yue couldn't say whether Mr. Guo left any clues.
After all, he doesn't know much about Villa No. 9 at the moment.
Mao Qi is a complete scammer. He hasn’t mentioned many things at all.
Whether there is one or not, I have to go back and look for it again, ask Mao Qi.
"Mr. Bai, why didn't your father tell you directly back then?"
"It's a very important matter. If more people know about it, there will be more risks. My father was in his prime at that time, and he didn't expect that he would suddenly travel to heaven. Maybe Mr. Guo is like this too?"
What exactly happened to Mr. Guo and Mr. Bai's father?
I'm afraid it's hard to figure it out at the moment.
But the core problem has been sorted out, and that is Daozi Lane Villa.
Does Daozi Lane Villa really contain secrets related to the fate of Star City?
And the underground forces actually know something about this secret?
That’s why there’s a fight for Villa No. 9 on Daozi Lane?
But there are so many villas in Daozi Lane. Even if these seven villas are the core, why should we focus on villa No. 9?
Can’t the other six buildings be moved?
Or do they think I am a soft persimmon who is relatively easy to control?
"Mr. Bai, according to what you said, if that underground force is really eyeing the Daozi Lane Villa, their ultimate appetite must be more than just my Villa No. 9, right?"
"Villa No. 9 is just a breakthrough."
"So, this fight will continue, right?"
"The fight will definitely not stop. However, you have Mr. Guo's will, which has a legal basis. I believe that they want to use official hats to suppress you by invoking legal provisions, which is not very feasible."
