"Erm … Xiao Chen, you've worked hard this time."
Old Cao seemed to be the one with the highest status in the room, so he spoke first.
Chen Guang waved his hand. "Not at all, not at all. I just did what I was supposed to do."
"Erm, Chen Guang, you've done a great service this time, so you should be rewarded. But you're still so young, and you're already the Chief of the Guangding General Headquarters. It's not good to reward you for such a short period of time. Tell me, what do you want? "
Another old man tried to sound him out, like an old grandpa trying to coax a child.
Chen Guang sneered in his heart. Maybe the next sentence would be a promotion but a demotion?
"No, no, no. Don't mention any rewards. What era are we in now? We don't have the same old things anymore. Since I'm the Chief of the Guangding General Headquarters, even if I die on the battlefield, it's my duty. Besides, if I'm just an ordinary police officer at the grassroots level, it might be meaningful to talk about how many merits I've earned. But I'm already in this position, and I should take the lead. Don't talk about merits anymore. I don't deserve it. I'm ashamed. "
He smiled and cupped his hands. 'Let's stop them from talking first.'
Old Cao and the others looked at each other. What was wrong with him today? His personality was different from everyone's analysis!
Old Cao braced himself and said, "Erm, although that's the case, it's our army's tradition to reward based on merit. We've thought about it, and there's a department …"
Chen Guang immediately interrupted him. As expected, the older the wiser. He had already shut them up, and they still had the cheek to mention it.
"Let's not beat around the bush. I heard everything you said just now. I only have two words for this, no way! "
He was unhappy and did not care if he was a junior anymore. "What? Now that Ouyang Tianxing is dead and I'm useless, you want to burn the bridge after crossing it? "
"Xiao Chen, don't say that. That's not what we meant."
"Then what do you mean? Fine, if I wanted to leave on my own accord, that's fine. But now that you've brought it up, I won't agree! Even a clay bodhisattva has some anger. You guys lied to me about the information, and I haven't talked to the old gentlemen yet. What? Do you think that I, Chen Guang, am good-tempered and easy to bully? If you want me to leave, you'll have to ask the other Jianghu people in the headquarters for permission first! Deputy Director Xin, am I right? "
Chen Guang turned to ask Xin Qin.
Xin Qin was stunned at first, and her brain went blank for a moment. Didn't you say that you were ready to quit?
What are you up to this time?
However, she quickly understood that Chen Guang had a rebellious mentality, and she was happy to see it happen. "That's right! Chief Chen was now the number one expert in Pugilistic World. In the past, he had been the Alliance Master of Pugilistic World. He was the only one who could be the Chief of the Headquarters. If it was anyone else, they would not be able to convince the public! It wasn't easy for us to get to where we are today, and now you want to transfer him away? In any case, I'll be the first to disagree! "
Xin Qin is the one who knows me the best! She is indeed my little dearest!
Chen Guang grinned. Seeing that the old men had nothing to say, he changed the topic again. "By the way, let's talk about this later. Old gentlemen, I have a very important piece of information that I want to mention to you. I won't be happy if I don't get it out. "
As he spoke, he looked at Old Man Cao. If he remembered correctly, this old man had been sitting in front of Cao Zhengming during the individual military drill. At that time, the two of them had even whispered to each other for a while. Looking at their facial features, there were some similarities. If he guessed correctly, this old man must be Cao Zhengming's father!
You, as his father, came at the right time. I just want to ask what your good son is going to do!
At that time, I made him suffer a little. I heard that after the individual military exercise, Cao Zhengming was also punished a little. But this seemingly inadvertent revenge of his is to kill me. This is too much, this is really too much!
Seeing this, Old Cao's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly cursed.
"Before I set off for Ninghai Province, there was a long period of time when I was struggling to find the whereabouts of the Poison Sect, Dark Sect, and Lord Wen. Everyone must be clear about what happened later. The mole, Long Dingtian, took out a piece of information. Of course, although he was a mole, there was no problem with the information he gave. The evil martial artists were indeed hiding in Ninghai Province. But while I was communicating with Long Dingtian, I got another piece of information from another place. Old Mr. Cao, do you know where this information came from? "
Chen Guang didn't intend to waste time with him. Instead, he went straight to the point. While speaking, he also carefully observed Old Cao's expression.
The old man only panicked for a short while, but he was an experienced man after all, so he quickly regained his composure. Perhaps he really knew something, but he pretended to be at a loss and asked calmly, "What's going on?"
Chen Guang sighed in his heart. It was really boring and annoying. "Someone used the relationship between Jiang Yage and me to pretend to help me by revealing the whereabouts of Lord Wen to her. Then, Jiang Yage relayed this to me. Although this matter seemed to have no impact, after all, whether I knew it or not, I would go to Ninghai. But it more or less interfered with my judgment and made me further lose my vigilance against Long Dingtian. Old Cao, you really don't know who did this? "
Seeing that Old Cao still wanted to pretend to be ignorant, Chen Guang finally couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table. "It's Cao Zhengming! Old Cao, explain to me. Before this, you obviously found out the whereabouts of Wenwen through the Skynet, but why did you hide it from me? I think you probably hoped that Lord Wen would die in Ninghai Province. But why did it come from Cao Zhengming's mouth, then from Jiang Yage's side, and then to my ears when I started to investigate? What the hell is he planning? Can I assume that he colluded with Ouyang Tianxing long ago and that his purpose is to send me to Ninghai Province to die? "
Old Cao's face suddenly turned pale. He had thought that Chen Guang would investigate this matter. This time, he personally led the team here, hoping to communicate with Chen Guang in private. He didn't expect that Chen Guang would be so impatient. Obviously, Chen Guang had recognized him, but he still exposed this matter in public. Chen Guang didn't save him any face and didn't give him any leeway!
The other old men in the small conference room all looked at Old Cao with different expressions. No one knew what they were thinking.
Old Cao braced himself to stand up and put on airs. "This … Chen Guang, you can't talk nonsense. You are slandering a senior general! You can't just make empty promises! "
In fact, the moment he recognized Old Cao, Chen Guang had guessed what he was thinking. Today, it seemed that Old Cao was leading the team to talk to him about the transfer, but his real purpose was to protect his son.
"Empty promises? You think I don't have evidence here? "
He took out his mobile phone and looked down at it. He was so angry that he laughed. "Oh, I didn't expect that the special communication system could be tampered with."
It turned out that the message that Jiang Yage sent to him on his mobile phone had disappeared. If there was no accident, there would not be a backup of their call recording in the system.
It was a pity that he didn't think of saving the call record between him and Jiang Yage at that time, so she wouldn't have it.
"Well, Old Cao, you have done a good job in preparation. I admit defeat. But it's useless to say more. I will only say two things today. First, I can only give up my position as the director of the Guangding General Bureau. I can't leave just because you want me to! I'm really sorry. It's easy to invite a devil in, but it's hard to send him away. If I don't keep an eye on you, who knows if you will use the Guangding General Bureau that I built to secretly stab me in the back? Second, Cao Zhengming wants my life. I thought you could help me uphold justice, but now it seems that there is no hope. But it doesn't matter. If you don't find trouble with him, I will find trouble with him myself. Old Cao, if you want to protect your son, you can try to stop me. I, Zhen Wu … I, Chen Guang, will do what I say. I will never compromise! I want to see how you can stop me! "
After that, he slammed the door and left, leaving the group of old men in the conference room.
Some things turned out this way because of a lot of coincidences.
If the old men hadn't looked down on his character from the beginning and tried to hide the information about Wenwen from him, Cao Zhengming wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.
Now that things had been done and the gap had been created, it wouldn't be so easy to mend it.
Chen Guang didn't mean to blame anyone.
From the perspective of the old masters, most of the time, they couldn't just consider their personal feelings when making decisions. Governing a big country was like cooking a small dish. Many things that seemed casual and seemingly trivial were actually decisions that they had made after careful consideration.
In a sense, their decision was a bit despicable, but it was actually a good thing for the country.
Chen Guang could understand the logic, but he couldn't accept it emotionally.
If it was someone else who was unlucky, Chen Guang would say that it didn't matter at all.
But since they wanted to deceive him and he was the one who was secretly tripped up by Cao Zhengming, then I'm sorry, but you've stepped on my tail.
I'm very angry now, so someone has to be unlucky.
For the sake of Lin Jingwei, Bai Hua, Jiang Yage, and Jin Shiyue, I won't pursue your previous concealment.
In the past, with my identity and status, it was my greatest honor to see you in person instead of on TV. If you could say a few words to me, it would be my greatest honor.
However, things are different now. I'm no longer that ignorant brat from before. I'm no longer an unremarkable university student who hasn't even graduated yet. I'm now the Saint Emperor of the True Martial Continent!
Perhaps Chen Guang's temper would be much better after he woke up from his nap and sat here to chat with others.
The main reason why Chen Guang still hadn't broken away from the Zhenwu Holy Emperor state was also the main reason.
So in the past, he often felt that he wasn't suitable for politics. If he was really a two-faced person, even if he was still a Holy Emperor, he would still be a thick-skinned Holy Emperor. He wouldn't have fallen out with Old Man Cao in public. Instead, he would have chosen to pretend to be polite to Old Man Cao. Even if he secretly killed Cao Zhengming later, as long as he didn't get any evidence, it wouldn't be a big deal.
As soon as Chen Guang left, the old men looked at each other. They didn't expect that a proper meeting would end up like this.
"Old Cao, could what he said be true?"
One of the old men asked.
Old Man Cao waved his hand. "How is that possible! Although Zhengming is sometimes immature, this is a matter of principle! "
Of course, he couldn't admit it.
At this moment, his heart was filled with hatred.
If you talk about this in private, we can discuss any compensation you want. I'll find a way to satisfy you.
As long as there are enough benefits, is there anything in this world that can't be discussed?
What kind of attitude is this?
Are you threatening us?
From what you're saying, you want to do it yourself and do it privately?
How can you have such thoughts!
Cao Zhengming waved his hand helplessly, signaling for the meeting to end. "Alright, alright, let's not interact with other people from the Guangding General Headquarters for now. Today's matter will end here. We've just arrived, so let's take a rest and discuss tomorrow."
He turned to look in the direction of Yan Jing and thought to himself, What should I do now?
This son of mine is stupid. I've punished him before, but this time, I really can't let him get away with it. Otherwise, he'll be sent to the military court for a major crime, a capital crime!
