After becoming invincible after descending the mountain, the aloof and beautiful CEO couldn't s

The capital city, the Shi family mansion.

Shi Lezhi stood in the study, holding a newly delivered secret report in his hand, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

With a slight exertion of his fingers, the thin sheet of paper was shaken into pieces, which then fluttered onto the table.

Standing next to him was a woman in her early thirties.

She was wearing a red cheongsam, with a voluptuous figure and a beautiful face, but her brows carried a sharp and fierce aura.

She is Shi Lezhi's younger sister, Shi Yiqun.

"Brother! That Su Hao is too arrogant! He killed Guang Anping, which is tantamount to slapping the face of our Shi family! We can't just let this go!" Shi Yiqun's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger.

After a moment of silence, Shi Lezhi slowly asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to Jinling! I'll kill him with my own hands!" A ruthless glint flashed in Shi Yiqun's eyes.

Shi Lezhi looked at her, remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Go, be careful."

Shi Yiqun nodded, turned around and walked out of the study.

......

Morning the next day.

The atmosphere in the imperial court was so heavy it seemed to freeze.

Standing at the head of all officials, Shi Lezhi's cold gaze swept over everyone present before he slowly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable air of authority: "Your Majesty, I wish to impeach Su Hao, the Deputy Director of the Military Affairs Department. This man has no regard for the law and has murdered Guang Anping, a second-level official of the Cabinet, without authorization. His crime is unforgivable! I implore Your Majesty to issue an edict to immediately disband the Military Affairs Department and apprehend the murderer to uphold the law!"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the imperial court.

More than half of the officials stood up to second the motion: "We second your motion! We request Your Majesty to disband the Military Affairs Department and apprehend the criminals!"

"The Military Command is lawless and has long been a dead entity! We beseech Your Majesty to make a judgment!"

"If this is not severely punished, the nation will cease to exist!"

Hua Xia sat on the dragon throne, his face solemn. His gaze swept over the officials who had seconded the motion, and he sighed inwardly.

He knew that most of these people were former protégés and associates of Shi Lezhi, and their actions today were clearly premeditated.

Just as Huaxia was caught in a dilemma, a clear, cold female voice came from outside the hall.

"Who says the Military Command is lawless?"

All eyes turned to the palace gate.

Wearing a black military uniform, Zhan Xier strode into the main hall, her eyes blazing as she stared directly at Shi Lezhi.

Behind her followed two martial arts elders, their aura imposing.

Shi Lezhi looked at her and sneered, "Director Zhan, you've come at the right time. Your men killed a second-level cabinet official; how do you plan to explain that?"

Zhan Xier walked to the center of the hall, stopped, looked calmly at Shi Lezhi, and slowly said, "Secretary-General Shi, before discussing Su Hao's crimes, I would like to share a secret with everyone."

Shi Lezhi frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Zhan Xier looked around and said, word by word, "Su Hao is the biological son of Secretary-General Shi Lezhi."

The entire court fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned, including Hua Xiachang.

Shi Lezhi frowned deeply: "Where did you know that?"

Zhan Xier continued, "Eighteen years ago, Secretary Shi wanted to kill Su Hao, who was still an infant, for some special reasons. One of his loyal subordinates couldn't bear it and secretly sent the child away from the Shi family. The child wandered around and was eventually adopted by three masters: the peerless killing god Baili Xuanyi, the unparalleled medical immortal Shangguan Wan'er, and the master painter Xuanyuan Huanhuan. That's how he survived to this day."

"Secretary-General Shi, do you dare to tell everyone in front of the entire court why you wanted to kill your own son back then?"

A scene flashed through Shi Lezhi's mind.

On that rainy night twenty years ago, he stood on the edge of a cliff, holding a baby, his heart filled with murderous intent.

The baby's cries were heart-wrenching, but he paid no heed.

Just as he was about to let go, a subordinate covered in blood rushed over, knelt on the ground, and begged him to spare the child...

He ultimately did not kill the child, but instead had his subordinate take the child away, so that he would never see him again.

I thought that the child had long since died in some unknown corner.

But he never expected that the child would not only survive, but also grow into such an outstanding young man, and re-enter his world in such a way.

The officials in the court looked at each other and whispered among themselves about this shocking secret.

Hua Xia sat on the dragon throne, looking at Shi Lezhi with a complex expression. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Minister Shi, is what Director Zhan said true?"

Shi Lezhi lowered his head and remained silent.

But his silence itself is a form of acquiescence.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhan Xi'er took out a thick stack of documents from her bosom and held them high above her head: "Your Majesty, this is evidence of Guang Anping's illegal crimes over the years! Embezzlement, disregard for human life, forcibly taking women, colluding with foreign forces... every single one of these crimes is irrefutable! Su Hao killed him to rid the people of a scourge, not to indiscriminately kill innocent people!"

Hua Xiachang took the document, flipped through a few pages, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

He closed the document and said in a deep voice, "Issue my decree: Su Hao's execution of Guang Anping, though excessive, was deserved; Su Hao is innocent! The Military Affairs Department shall continue to operate as usual, and no one shall request its dissolution again!"

The officials of Shi Lezhi's faction looked at each other in dismay, their morale plummeted, and they dared not utter another word.

Shi Lezhi slowly raised his head and glanced at Zhan Xier.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and strode out of the main hall.

Zhan Xier bowed slightly to Hua Xiachang and left the place, arriving at an elegant teahouse in the capital.

Inside, there was a woman.

The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a moon-white cheongsam, her long hair tied in a simple bun, her features exquisite and beautiful, her temperament gentle yet with a hint of cunning.

She held a cup of tea, took a small sip, then put down the cup and smiled, "Sister Zhan, what you said in court was truly remarkable."

Zhan Xier gave a wry smile: "Don't make fun of me, I was forced into this situation."

This woman was none other than Ouyang Mofei, the only daughter of Hua Xiachang.

Ouyang Mofei blinked her eyes, which seemed to see right through people, and chuckled, "That Su Hao sounds like an interesting person. He possesses three unparalleled skills: a peerless killing god, a peerless medical immortal, and a master of painting. He also has so many women he's engaged to... I really want to meet him."

Zhan Xier's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Su Hao... he's a rather complicated person, you should..."

"Complexity is what makes things interesting," Ouyang Mofei interrupted her, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Sister Zhan, what do you think his reaction would be if I went to Jinling to find him?"

Zhan Xier opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Looking into Ouyang Mofei's eyes, which were gleaming with cunning, a deep sense of worry welled up inside her.

If this cunning Miss Ouyang really sets her sights on Su Hao, then Su Hao's troubles are probably only just beginning...
