Under One Person: The frog cub gave me an insulating claw at the beginning

"After you've gotten your benefits, you still think you can just walk away unscathed? How can that be? It's impossible for you to walk away unscathed. You've driven me to the brink of despair. And you're using the things of Great Xia to curry favor with foreigners. Now you think you can continue to enjoy the tributes from the country after you've finished being your lackeys? That's impossible."

After the old man finished speaking, he instructed his men to keep an eye on their actions.

He will not let this group off the hook if they still have other ideas.

Seeing the old man's determination, his subordinates were also puzzled as to why he insisted on making things difficult for this group of people.

“Old man, some people have already surrendered to us and have offered us benefits. If we can agree to their offers, that would be a good thing. But if we can’t agree, we will get nothing. Besides, they are already like stray dogs.”

The best option, of course, is to take the benefits.

With profits secured, everything in their special bureau will be running smoothly; it all depends on what the old man thinks.

In their eyes, the evidence presented by this group was always insufficient.

But when the old man heard that his subordinates had chosen to take the benefits, his eyes widened in surprise.

He never expected his subordinates to be so short-sighted, still thinking about taking advantage of others. What advantage did they want?

This group of people has done many wrong things. If they benefit from this, they will surely have no scruples when they do wrong things next time.

"What are you thinking about getting benefits for? Are you planning to embezzle? Are you planning to collude with them? If so, I don't mind cleaning house first."

Those who had originally planned to divide the spoils were completely rendered speechless by what the old man said.

If anyone dares to steal from that group's interests behind the scenes during this operation, and also tries to erase their evidence, they are very likely to offend the old man.

Now that the old man has made his stance clear, whatever they do, they have to consider what he thinks.

“Grandpa, we didn’t intend to let them off the hook. There might be some misunderstandings in this matter. They also said that they were being used. It’s very likely that this outcome was caused by Mr. Cheng. Let’s not think too badly of things.”

They tried their best to defend the other party, how could the old man not understand?
It was precisely because he understood that he wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

"Alright, shut up. No matter who it is, they are all adults with their own brains. Do they need you to explain themselves? If you insist on explaining for them, then fine, I'm going to cause trouble. Don't blame me."

As the old man questioned them word by word, the people below indeed shut up. It would be a bad thing to be troubled by the old man.

If we offend the old man, it would be a loss that doesn't outweigh the gains.

Soon, the old man pulled them all inside one by one.

When Feng Tianci heard the news, he could only clap his hands in delight.

He was also amazed at how quickly the old man had acted. At first, he knew why the old man was doing all this.

However, he hadn't expected the old man's actions in this matter to be so unbelievable. "Very good, his actions surprised me, but the old man has removed all the cancers this time. He's offended many people, and he probably doesn't have many loyal followers. So, investigate the people around the old man during this period. He's performed very well this time; at least he hasn't hindered us in this matter. So, it's only right that we give him some benefits."

When Baihe heard that Feng Tianci was investigating the cancerous people around the old man, she knew in her heart that the old man was indeed in trouble this time.

Without special assistance, it's very difficult to turn things around.

Lily's search actually yielded information about some spies around the old man, and the list was submitted.

The old man stared at the list in complete silence. Nearly half of the people on the list were people he trusted implicitly.

But once they saw the potential benefits, they instantly turned against them.

This was something he hadn't expected; he had assumed that the people around him would be able to stay true to themselves.

"It seems I was wrong after all. I thought that after the cleanup last time, at least you guys would be at peace. But who would have thought that you wouldn't be at peace at all, and even thought that you would continue to do such shameless things? Since you've decided to do this, then I won't be polite anymore."

The old man smiled wryly, and after seeing him smile, Baihe fell silent.

He knew that Feng Tianci had asked him to come here because he felt that the old man's side was indeed extremely dangerous.

But who would have thought that the old man would be unable to control everything now, and even make the current situation extremely complicated.

"Our boss from the Special Bureau said that if you need help, he can provide you with some talent at any time. However, no force is allowed to use the Special Bureau's personnel at will, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the Special Bureau. This is our boss's only requirement."

The old man also knew that the reason he had previously used the talents from the Special Bureau was because he had no one else around him.

Now he has come to realize that the people he randomly chooses may not necessarily earn his loyalty.

Rather than that, it would be better to have the Special Bureau supply him with talent; at least that way, it can be guaranteed that all of these people are loyal to the country.

Even if he had no trusted confidants, he could die without regrets, for he would never do anything to harm the interests of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Then let your boss do it. I believe your boss can handle these things very easily and without causing any harm. If these things fall into my hands, perhaps I won't be as good at handling them as your boss."

When Baihe brought the message back, Feng Tianci knew that Baihe was happy, but Feng Tianci was also very clear that the old man was an extremely outstanding person in every aspect.

They're just being polite now; they can't let the old man's words go to their head.

"Gather some talent and send them to the old man. He needs manpower right now, and you can go and help him. After all, he has controlled the power for so many years and has some important things in his hands. Perhaps you can quit being an assassin and find yourself a stable job. That way, at least you won't have to keep drifting outside. You have to remember that you are a girl, and you have a younger sister to take care of."

We can't keep wandering around outside forever; that's not fair to you sisters. (End of Chapter)
