December 25, 2023.
Christmas.
Thirty-five days have passed since Chen Ye was imprisoned in the dungeon.
The popularity of this incident in Xia Guowu's martial arts circles and the elite circles dropped sharply, but the aftermath was turbulent.
In the past month, almost all the powerful forces in Xia Kingdom carried out an encirclement and suppression operation against Zhen Shou Ye and Xia Shou Organization.
The reason why all of this happened was that the Xia Shou Organization issued an announcement regarding the treatment of Chen Ye.
That announcement touched the interests and bottom line of the powerful - warriors could only serve the powerful, and warriors would never be allowed to challenge the authority of the powerful!
But the dignitaries did not use Chen Ye's incident as an excuse to cause trouble, but brought up the old matter again - the Jiangnan case.
The Jiangnan case was the assassination of Yuan Rui and Hong Xikang, the third elder of the former Xia Shou Organization and the captain of the Jiangnan team, in Jiangzhou.
At that time, this case caused an uproar in the Xia Guowu academic circle.
The Long Wei Army and the Shou Xia Organization set up a joint investigation team to investigate the case, and initially identified the murderer as King Chen Yan.
But later, the joint investigation team was canceled because of a conflict between Zhao Wanling, deputy leader of the joint investigation team, and Chen Ye, which caused heavy damage to her mother's family.
This case also fell silent.
A month ago, powerful forces from all sides used this case as an excuse to criticize the Xia Watch organization for its ineffective handling of the case. At the same time, they slapped a lot of labels on the town watch night and put pressure on the superiors.
The higher-ups issued instructions requiring the Shou Xia organization to solve the case within a time limit.
Today, the one-month deadline has passed.
The Xia Shou Organization did not solve the case.
Office building and conference room of the headquarters of the Summer Shou Organization.
The team members headed by the town watchman are holding an elders meeting.
The atmosphere in the conference room was serious, and except for the night watch, everyone had ugly expressions.
Because they all know how frustrated the town vigil and summer vigil organizations have been in the past month!
At the same time, they were also worried that Zhen Shouye himself would be affected because the Shou Xia organization did not have a deadline to solve the case.
As the saying goes, whatever you fear will come.
"Elders, this should be the last time I organize a meeting for everyone."
At the front of the conference room, Zhen Shuye glanced at everyone, then slowly opened his mouth and said the theme of today's meeting - farewell.
He is leaving the Xia Shou Organization.
"leader……"
When the words of Zhen Vigil rang in their ears, the expressions of all the elders, including Fifth Elder Wu Chunqiu, changed.
Although they realized that powerful people from all walks of life were targeting the Xia Shou Organization and wanted Zhen Shouye to leave the Xia Shou Organization, they were still shocked when the speculation became reality.
In addition to shock, there is also anger that cannot be concealed!
What a bully!
"Everyone, I am honored to be able to work with you for so many years; I am very grateful for your support of my work in the past few years; I also believe that you will continue to do your job well in the future and carry forward the spirit of Shou Xia ——Guard every inch of Xia Kingdom’s land and protect every citizen of Xia Kingdom!”
The night watchman spoke again.
Three sentences represent his thoughts.
After the words fell, Zhen Shouye stood up, his body as straight as a gun, his right hand stretched out, a fist made, placed it on his heart, and he saluted Wu Chunqiu and others with a serious face.
This scene is just like when he first joined Shouxia and swore an oath under the national flag and national emblem to be loyal to the motherland and protect the people!
Seeing the actions of the watchman, none of the elders, including Wu Chunqiu, stood up and returned the salute.
They all had dark faces and red eyes, with angry and aggrieved expressions!
"Chief, we don't want you to leave!"
"Yes, we will jointly report to the superiors and apply for you to stay!"
"Yes, during the years you have been the leader of the Xia Shou Organization, the Xia Kingdom has become a restricted area for martial arts circles and underground forces around the world. This achievement cannot be discredited by some people!"
Immediately, Wu Chunqiu and others spoke one after another, feeling particularly excited.
Zhen Shouye put down his right hand, sighed softly and said:
"Thank you everyone for supporting me, but I don't want you to report it."
"Why?"
"The decision has been made above and the candidate for the new leader has been selected. The new leader should take office tomorrow."
The town watch gives an explanation.
"The new leader is Zhao Qi?!"
Wu Chunqiu and others asked in unison.
"Um."
Zhen Shuye nodded.
"grass!"
"Snapped!"
"Crack!"
For a moment, the conference room became a mess.
Some people were so angry that they cursed, some people slapped the conference table, and some people smashed the teacup on the table.
Because they all know that Zhao Qi was the one instigating the joint campaign against the Xia Shou Organization by all parties!
Now, Zhao Qi has become the biggest beneficiary of this matter!
"Since it's Zhao Qi, then I won't do it either."
"I think so too. I'm getting older. Wouldn't it be nice to have a little more leisure in your old age?"
"I'm different from you. I want to continue to improve, but it's not about my job, but my martial arts - I want to practice in seclusion!"
After the anger, Wu Chunqiu and others spoke one after another and decided to leave the Xia Shou Ye organization together with Zhen Shou Ye.
"Nonsense!"
The night watchman scolded him sternly, saying word by word:
"Since you all know that I was forced to leave, then if you all follow me and leave, wouldn't you be playing into someone's hands? Do you hope that the Summer Shou Organization will become someone's one-spoken organization in the future?"
do not wish.
Answers emerged in the hearts of Zhen Shouye and others, but they did not answer Zhen Shouye. Their hearts were filled with anger, frustration, and deep helplessness!
At this moment, the people in the conference room were pushed away, and the night watch assistant came in. He was startled when he saw the mess in the conference room.
Then, he realized something, and his face instantly turned pale.
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing this, the town watchman asked.
According to the regulations and traditions of the Xia Shou organization, during the elders' meeting, no one below is allowed to disturb non-urgent and major matters.
"Chief, Chen Ye is here. He wants to see you."
the assistant said.
Um?
Hearing the word "Chen Ye" in shock, Wu Chunqiu and others were in a daze.
They all know that the reason why Zhen Shou Ye was impeached and left the Shou Xia organization was largely because of Chen Ye.
But none of them blamed Chen Ye.
Because Chen Ye was not wrong.
On the contrary, Chen Ye has done too much for the Xia Shou Organization and this country, and received too little!
"Elders, today's meeting ends here, adjourn!"
At the same time, Zhen Shouye stood up and announced the adjournment of the meeting, and quickly left the conference room, eager to see Chen Ye.
Because reason told him that Chen Ye came to him immediately after leaving the dungeon, probably because he knew about him and the Shouxia Organization.
And according to Chen Ye's acting style and habits, it is very likely that he will go crazy because of this!
The facts confirmed the town watch night's speculation.
When Zhen Shouye walked into his office, Chen Ye stood up to greet him and asked straight to the point:
"Chief, I heard that while I was imprisoned in the dungeon, all forces jointly attacked the Xia Shou Organization. Are they going to drive you away from the position of leader and replace you with Zhao Qi?"
"The superiors have indeed decided to let Zhao Qi and I change positions."
Zhen Shuye sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, leader, I've caused trouble for you!"
Chen Ye received confirmation from the guard and looked apologetic.
He learned from Huangfu Wangqing, the second leader of the Heavenly Prison, that this incident started because he slapped Zhao Tianming and the Xia Shou organization issued an announcement. On the grounds that King Chen Ye killed Gao Mingyuan, Yuan Rui and Hong Xikang, he was responsible for guarding the night. Finally, he left the Xia Shou Organization.
Zhen Shouye smiled softly and pretended to be relaxed:
"Xiaoye, I don't blame you for this..."
"I trampled and broke the rules, causing public outrage, and you bore their wrath in my place."
Chen Ye interrupted Zhen Shouye's words with a calm expression, and at the same time, a cold murderous intention filled his body!
"Xiao Ye, you must not be impulsive! Although Zhao Qi is insidious and shameless, no matter whether he is the leader of the Dragon Guard Army, the upcoming leader of the Summer Shou Organization, or a core member of the Zhao family, you cannot kill him!
Otherwise, it would be like flipping the card table, and the higher-ups will definitely investigate! When the time comes, not only me, but all the powerful people in Xia Guowu’s martial arts world will arrest you - I don’t want this to happen! "
Zhan Shouye's expression changed.
What he was most worried about finally appeared.
Chen Ye showed murderous intent towards Zhao Qi!
And as he said, once Zhao Qi is assassinated, it will be a big deal that will break the sky!
"Old dog Zhao Qi, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the living penalty!"
Chen Ye squinted his eyes and clenched his fists, with angry flames dancing in his eyes.
