Chapter 0289 When something goes wrong, there must be a demon
Old Han will definitely not ask this for no reason.
Jiang Yue did not answer in a hurry, and glanced at the faces of everyone present. Except for Han Jingjing, whose face was full of worry and anxiety, the others were all mature old foxes, and it was impossible to tell what they were thinking.
Of course, this question is not difficult for Jiang Yue to answer.
“Han Chu, do you think I’m a quitter?”
In front of the ruler, Jiang Yue couldn't call Han Yiming "Lao Han".
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.
“Xiaojiang, 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 happened in a civil conflict, it still seems very reckless. People in official circles shouldn't 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 personalities, sharp edges, and impulsive actions are rare in the 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 ruler 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 to come over and let's discuss it together."
The scene fell into silence.
After a moment of silence, the ruler suddenly spoke: "Xiao Jiang, I heard from Yi Ming that you have 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 tight 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 ruler 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 ruler.
The various details demonstrated by that force prove that their abilities in many aspects even exceed those of the official government.
They can penetrate into Star City officials, bribe various high-ranking officials, and steal official secrets.
Even such a confidential department of the Action Bureau has penetrated so deeply.
Even prisoners of war from the Operations Bureau can be taken away.
Furthermore, according to the confession of Mr. Zhan, this force also has its own independent laboratory, and this laboratory is not just a small operation. It has even 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 has long been prepared for the strange era and can be said to be prepared for a rainy day. It is by no means a temporary act.
Being able to predict the arrival of strange times in advance, this news ability alone is shocking enough.
So, 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 furrowed his brows 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.”
“Sir, I have been investigating this matter these days, and many of the 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 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 dig, the more frightened I become. Many seemingly unrelated cases, when the clues slowly emerge, the evidence chain is connected.
Together, they all have the same direction. This direction further proves that this underground force in Star City definitely exists 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 the butt
No matter how hard you wipe it clean, there will always be some odor left behind."
This is the first time Jiang Yue has heard someone explain the matter in such detail.
Of course, what Mr. Bai said is indeed consistent with the evidence Jiang Yue has.
"What is 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 intricate and intricate. Perhaps, in the official team, colleagues who get along day and night, see
They appear 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 destabilizing 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 covert to covert, 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 shocking and taboo.
Simply put, it is ambition.
The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
When they turn from darkness to light, from the underground to the bright side, they fight in a showdown.
If you lose, you will be defeated.
If they win, they will take their place and become official.
The ruler's face was solemn, and his fingers were tapping gently on the armrests of the chair rhythmically. It was obvious that he was deep in thought.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yue vaguely felt the reason why the ruler asked him to come here.
I also vaguely understood why they had asked him what he thought about the incident in Villa No. 9.
Under normal logic, it is absolutely impossible for a high-ranking official to go into battle bare-chested to seize a villa, no matter how valuable the villa is, and the appearance is not so ugly.
Behind such an uncharacteristic performance that does not conform to the logic of officialdom...
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
Could it be that……
Jiang Yue felt awe-struck when he thought of this.
Thinking of the previous bombing of the Daozi Lane Villa, and the replicators sneaking into the Daozi Lane Villa...
Jiang Yue felt an answer ready to come out.
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 smiled: "Master, 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.
From the governor's side, it's just speculation.
If it weren’t for the hidden factor of Mr. Bai who has been secretly investigating, and the interference of the unexpected factor of Jiang Yue, the ruler would not even realize that there are 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 a mature time?
“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 yet been mobilized.”
“Of course, there is another factor that is easily overlooked.”
"What?"
“The Daozi Lane villa has not fallen into their hands yet,” Mr. Bai said solemnly.
It’s Daozi Lane Villa again?
In fact, Jiang Yue has always guessed that there should be profound reasons for the establishment of the Daozi Lane villa. He has also considered many factors in Feng Shui.
However, all this has not been confirmed by enough evidence.
“Mr. Bai, how many mysteries are hidden behind this 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.
Mr. Bai was in awe after reading it.
Standed up, cupped his hands to Jiang Yue and said, "Mr. Jiang is indeed a 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 Jiang Yue until now. Apparently it was this will that convinced him of Jiang Yue's legal ownership of Villa No. 9.
Xiao Jiang also immediately became Mr. Jiang.
“Xiaojiang, this villa No. 8 actually belongs to Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai’s father was Mr. Guo’s Taoist friend back then.”
This actually 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 these seven tokens? I have been keeping track of 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 it is there 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 matter of great importance, and the more people know about it, the more risks there are. 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?
It’s probably hard to figure out at the moment.
But the core issue has been sorted out, and that is the Daozi Lane Villa.
Does Daozi Lane Villa really contain secrets related to the fate of Star City?
And the underground forces actually know some of this secret?
That’s why there is a fight for the No. 9 villa in Daozi Lane?
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 handle?
"Mr. Bai, according to what you said, if the underground forces are 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 is legally based. I believe that they want to use official hats to suppress you by provoking legal provisions, which is not very feasible."
