My enemies became my companions

Chapter 9 Preparing for a Win-Win
"Master Wu, what do you want from me?"

Two days later, early in the morning, when Chen Yi stepped into the West Factory, he saw the West Factory Supervisor Wu Qingsheng with a gloomy face.

"You come with me."

Chen Yi didn't understand what was going on, so he followed Governor Wu up the stairs and into the study, where he saw someone waiting there early.

The person who came was Captain Li from the East Factory.

"Meet Captain Chen."

Captain Li bowed.

Chen Yi also bowed, feeling puzzled.

Why are people from the East Factory here?
Governor Wu came to the desk, and after a moment, a red letter was thrown in front of Chen Yi.

Chen Yi remained calm and did not bend down. He stretched out his foot and pushed upwards towards the place where the red paper was raised. The red paper flew into the air and then fell into his hand.

The whole process went smoothly.

This is the wonderful use of Qinggong body techniques.

Witnessing this scene, Governor Wu's eyelids twitched slightly.

He has exquisite body movements and a steady breath, with the demeanor of a martial artist.

But wasn't he a blank slate before, the well-known silver-plated spearhead?
It has only been a month since this guy named Chen appeared in everyone's sight, and in this month he has already mastered such exquisite body movements...

Was it some fortuitous encounter, or did he meet someone with great guidance, or...he has always been keeping a low profile.

Governor Wu frowned slightly, with complicated thoughts. You know, before, although he treated this centurion who supported Lin's party with courtesy on the surface, he didn't care much about him in his heart.

After opening the memorial, Chen Yi took a look at it, then glanced at Captain Li of the East Factory and immediately understood the situation.

It turned out that the head of the East Factory had reported himself to the Empress Dowager, who was in power. At the end of the report, it was mentioned that Chen Yi, a captain of the West Factory, had disregarded the law and secretly took a maid away for interrogation.

After seeing Chen Yi read the memorial, Governor Wu spoke up.

"I was the one who intercepted this memorial in the Imperial Household Department. It has not yet been reported to the Empress Dowager. But, how long can I hold it back? According to the rank, Governor Xue is a eunuch in charge of writing, and I am only a sixth-rank eunuch."

Chen Yi held the letter in his hand and thought for a moment.

At this time, Li Baihu of the East Factory spoke at the right time:

"Captain Chen, this matter is difficult for Governor Xue to handle. We are all working for the royal family. We all prosper together and suffer together. Reporting you to the authorities will only bring shame to our brothers in the East Factory."

Chen Yi smiled and asked:

"So, what should we do now?"

Governor Wu said coldly:

"Of course you send the maid back to Prince Xiang's mansion, and the matter will be over."

Before Chen Yi could respond, Captain Li said:

"Captain Chen is only a 7-foot-tall man, and he was just impulsive. In my opinion, this matter can be discussed further."

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes and grasped something from the words and sentences of these two people.

These two people, one plays the bad guy and the other plays the good guy.

I just don't know if it was a deliberate coordination or if Governor Wu was being used.

Governor Wu said coldly:

"Negotiate. How else can we discuss?"

Captain Li immediately said:

"Lord Xue said that he should give others a chance and he doesn't want to offend the Western Factory. He can take back this memorial."

After saying that, Captain Li turned to look at Chen Yi and said threateningly:

"However, Captain Chen needs to be careful and cautious in the future. Don't offend the East Factory and break its rules. The affairs of the East Factory are not the responsibility of a captain."

Chen Yi had no expression on his face and listened in silence.

Governor Wu also heard the threatening tone in Captain Li's voice and felt something was wrong.

Why do I feel like... this Captain Li is using me to play the villain?
Forget it, forget it. No matter how badly I play the villain, as long as I am doing things for the heavenly family, it’s fine.

Seeing Chen Yi's silence, Captain Li couldn't help but sneer in his heart and said:

"Captain Chen, I know you are young and full of vigor, but being too aggressive is not a good thing. If you rush forward with all your energy, you will only get yourself into trouble. One wrong step will lead to more mistakes.

Forgive me for reminding you on behalf of the Lord Governor, if you keep causing trouble, it will be easy for someone to kill you."

After hearing the last words, Governor Wu frowned.

Li Baihu realized that his words were too radical, so he said earnestly:

"Instead of doing this, it is better to stop in time. Our two factories are brothers and have always had a brotherly relationship. If the two factories are on good terms, we can help each other..."

Captain Li was halfway through his words.

Chen Yi suddenly showed a kind smile on his face:
"That's right, Captain." Captain Li was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected Chen Yi to be so straightforward.
"Say...what exactly?"

Chen Yi raised his hand and clasped his fist, saying sincerely:

"The East and West Factories are brother factories and should help each other. I accidentally offended the East Factory before, but I was forgiven by Governor Xue. Now that the Demon Cult is doing evil and causing trouble in the capital, I will definitely not break the rules of the East Factory in the future."

Hearing this, Captain Li was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chen Yi to be so easy to talk to.

"Now that the matter has been settled, you can go out now."

Governor Wu spoke.

Walking out of the study, Captain Li was about to leave, but Chen Yi grabbed him.

"Captain Li, I have something to tell you."

Captain Li stopped and
"May I ask...what is it?"

Chen Yi lowered his voice and said:
"I wonder if Lord Xue knows about... the matter of the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult?"

Captain Li looked confused and kept saying:
"Elaborate."

Chen Yi heard that this person didn't know the details, so he slowly said:
“Since Governor Wu is not here, I will tell you the truth.

The reason why I robbed and killed those members of the Demon Sect was not for my own selfish gain, but also for your East Factory."

Li Baihu asked doubtfully:
"For our East Factory?"

Chen Yi said slowly:
"It is extremely risky for the Divine Cult to win over a vassal king of the imperial court. One wrong move could lead to a complete failure. But have you ever thought about why they insist on doing this?

According to my private investigation, the reason why the Divine Cult behaved like this was that they had a grand plan in secret. This grand plan was related to the birth of the Saint of the Divine Cult. Once she was born, I'm afraid that the East Factory, which was responsible for confiscating the Prince Xiang's Mansion, would inevitably be implicated.

I guess that the East Factory is unaware of this and is being used by the evil cult villains, so I killed them and stopped them from carrying out their plan, so as to avoid dragging the East Factory into the water."

Captain Li was shocked and frightened when he heard this. He had indeed heard some rumors about the birth of a saint, but they were just rumors.

Chen Yi saw all these reactions.

Having completed the mission once, I know that only a handful of people in the entire capital city know that Yin Tingxue is the Saint.

The East Factory Supervisor Xue Youge was not one of them. Although he was in collusion with the Demon Cult, what he cared more about was the official hat on his head.

After all, what kind of person in a high position of power would give up his prosperity and foolishly follow the evil cult to the mountains?
Captain Li saw that Chen Yi's words were sincere and thought about his previous actions.

It turns out that this captain of the Western Factory was a corrupt official. How could he turn against the Demon Cult for no reason and do something chivalrous and righteous?

There must be some hidden story!
"The reason why I attacked and killed those members of the Demon Sect was to sever my ties with them and stop in time. Some things..."

While Captain Li was shocked, Chen Yi said lightly:

"If you don't weigh it, it's less than 4 ounces. But if you weigh it, it's more than 1,000 pounds."

Li Baihu heard this and cold sweat broke out on his neck. He kept bowing and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, Captain. If the Saint is born and this matter is exposed, I don't know how many heads the East Factory will lose."

Chen Yi patted Li Baihu on the shoulder and said sincerely:

"Master Xue said it well. If one suffers, all suffer. The East Factory and I have always been in the same boat."

Captain Li was relieved to have survived the disaster, and now he had more trust in the other party. He said:
"Thank you, Captain Chen. This is a great favor. How can I repay you?"

Chen Yidao:
"I heard that there is a secret book called Bronze Bone Skill circulating in the East Factory? Why not lend it to me for a look?"

Li Baihu hesitated for a moment:
"This... This book was written by Governor Xue, so it is inconvenient to pass it on..."

Chen Yi immediately sneered:
"Just now the captain mentioned a great favor. Don't tell me that I have no favor to the East Factory at all?"

Li Baihu heard this and thought about it carefully.
For this incident that almost cost the Eastern Depot its heads, what does a martial arts secret book mean?
What's more, this Captain Chen is not an incorruptible person, so I think we can continue to cooperate for a long time...

"Okay, just wait and I'll give it to you."

Chen Yi immediately clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you, Captain. This time I got the secret book and the East Factory got the intelligence. It's a win-win situation for both sides."

Captain Li couldn't help laughing and said:
“What a win-win situation.”

Watching Captain Li turn around and leave in a hurry.

In the shadows, a smile appeared on Chen Yi's face.

If it was the save file from the first week, I would probably rush around recklessly. Anyway, I can save and load the game.

But now...

You have to use your skill.

You want experience packages to be delivered to you one by one, and you should be grateful to yourself.

Do you know what a second-week player is?
Second week players...

Often prepare to win twice.

Now it depends on whether it is a big win, a medium win, or a small win.
