Dragon Gate Swordsman

Originally, he just wanted to go back directly after delivering the letter. He had no intention of attending the coronation ceremony, nor did he plan to travel around the capital. However, he was involved in a series of events, which resulted in this most important purpose becoming the last thing before leaving.

As the saying goes, a little detail can reveal a lot. Maybe life is just so absurd and bizarre.

"Sir, this way please."

"Ok."

Chongxiao nodded to the butler who was leading the way, and retracted his thoughts on the philosophy of life.

Similar to the Huang family's residence, Chen Changwen's residence is also an ancient-style villa equipped with a courtyard, but it is much smaller in scale, and the garden decoration is not as rich and luxurious as that of the Huang family.

This just corresponds to Chen Changwen's reputation for being honest and simple. As the Minister of Revenue, he must set an example, otherwise he will have to take the blame for half of the affairs of the people of Dayan.

The housekeeper led Chongxiao to the study on the first floor of the villa... Unlike other places, Chen Changwen's study was right next to the living room. It was not on the second or third floor, nor was it in a secluded location.

It is said that his parents died early and he had no wife by his side. He spent all his time at work and seldom went out for social activities.

The study is probably set up here to make it convenient to handle important matters at home.

"Please wait a moment, sir. The master will be here soon."

"Thank you."

After watching the old butler leave the study, Chongxiao looked around the room.

At first glance, the most obvious feeling is clutter: not only are the four treasures of the study, computer and documents randomly placed on the desk, but the arrangement of books on the bookcase is also enough to drive people with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy. In addition, you can even see fast food boxes placed in the corner of the room.

Chongxiao stared at the box closely, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Why would the Minister of Revenue, an important official in charge of the people's livelihood affairs in the entire Da Yan, eat fast food in his study?

This painting style is a bit broken... Or is the packaging box just a cover, and the currency inside is the baht used by Yan Country...

Just then, the sound of a door opening was heard behind me.

"Mr. Lao, I've been waiting for a long time."

Minister of Revenue of Dayan, Chen Changwen.

Before this, Chongxiao had only seen public photos of this Shangshu in official uniform on the Internet. Due to some minor modifications, there was a big difference between him and the real person, so it could not be taken accurately.

But now that they were face to face, he realized that Chen Changwen was actually younger than in the public photos, probably less than 40 years old... At this age, being the Minister of Revenue would probably be recorded in the history of Dayan.

"Mr. Chen is too polite. It is Chongxiao who is bothering me."

"What are you talking about? Sir, helping the True Dragon Emperor to fight against the blood evil and eliminate the evil spirit is a great achievement. It is a blessing for Great Yan to have you here."

As he spoke, Chen Changwen bowed to Chongxiao very solemnly.

On the day of the coronation ceremony, he was in the queue of civil and military officials. Although he did not know that the Xuanyuan Sword was created by Chongxiao, he clearly saw him give it to Ying Zhen and then fainted on the ground.

Therefore, even though the court officials did not know Chongxiao's true identity, they already regarded him as Ying Zhen's most trusted confidant.

Chongxiao felt somewhat embarrassed, and at the same time he sensed something strange… For some reason, he felt as if he had seen Chen Changwen before.

It's not a public photo, but I have seen him in person.

"Your Majesty... I heard that Mr. Chongxiao has always wanted to see me. I wonder what's the matter?"

"I was asked to deliver a letter to Lord Chen."

Chongxiao took out the wrinkled letter... He brought it with him on his first day in the capital of gods, and it became like this when he fought with the assassin.

"May I ask who it is?"

"Governor Wei of Longmen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Changwen's face suddenly darkened, and his movement of reaching out to take the letter froze in mid-air.

However, this seemingly frozen atmosphere did not last long. He quickly controlled his emotions and took the letter that Chongxiao was handing over to him.

Looking at Chen Changwen's expression, which could almost be described as gloomy, Chongxiao kept thinking one word in his mind: Damn!

This situation is obviously not right! Didn't that bastard Lao Wei want me to challenge his enemy and mock him? If so, I must settle the score with him when I go back!

However, the Shangshu did not open the envelope directly. He just lowered his head and stared at the signature on it without blinking... His look was more sentimental and sighing than expressionless.

Maybe there is still a little bit of resentment.

Oh my god... did I discover some secret! ?

Considering that Chen Changwen had no wife and Wei Yanwu had no children for many years, Chongxiao's imagination was like Sun Wukong's somersault, and it soared up to beyond the thirty-third heaven.

"A Night Visit to the Young Master, Who Was Drunk at the West Window, Leaving His Lovely Wife in Tears"

"It was him...didn't he tell you anything?"

"He only told me to personally deliver the letter to you, my Lord."

Chen Changwen looked up at Chongxiao, the confusion in his expression was obvious.

Then, he opened the envelope and took out the letter inside...

Chongxiao, whose imagination was about to be out of control, wanted to stretch his neck to see what was written on the letter, but he still had his dignity to save, and knew that he would easily get beaten if he did so, and might even be killed by someone in a fit of rage to silence him.

Wei Yanwu wrote three pages in total, so densely packed with words that Chen Changwen had to read them for a long time. He was stunned from time to time, and then looked up at Chongxiao.

Chongxiao had to admit that this made his scalp tingle and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

But fortunately, just when he was about to ask, "Can I leave now?", Chen Changwen sighed and put the letter away.

"Chongxiao, do you know why Governor Wei asked you to personally deliver the letter to me?"

"……do not know."

"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the people's livelihood in all territories of Da Yan. He hopes that the clues I have here can help you find your family... or at least the place where you were born."

Lao Wei! I wronged you!

Chongxiao almost shouted this out loud, but then he thought, this couldn't explain Chen Changwen's strange reaction when he heard Wei Yanwu's name...

"Don't bother me, Master Chen. There is still a long time to come. Maybe I can remember it slowly."

"So optimistic... Chongxiao, you are indeed extraordinary."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Something doesn't seem right.

Chongxiao always felt that Chen Changwen looked at him in a strange way, but he couldn't tell what was strange about it.

So he decided to "take the initiative."

"Sir Chen, are you and Governor Wei old acquaintances?"

"I guess so. I once lived in Longmen for a while and had some dealings with him."

Chen Changwen was obviously hiding something, and it was obvious that the period he mentioned was not a pleasant memory, but what was going on with that vague feeling of guilt?

Before Chongxiao could think about it, Chen Changwen asked about Longmen's recent situation.

Including whether the gangs there are still lawless because of the support of the Rat King, how the Guard Bureau is developing now, how Wei Yanwu takes care of his niece Chen Huijie, etc. Obviously, he did stay in Longmen, but it was a long time ago, and he didn't even know that the Rat King had already entered a "semi-retired" state.

"So, it was Governor Wei who sent her to the Victoria Royal Guards Academy?"

"Sadly, no."

Chongxiao chose to tell the truth, "It's mainly Xiaolong... Miss Chen's own efforts. Governor Wei is busy with affairs, and his main focus is still on work."

I'm not trying to discredit you, Old Wei. After all, even Madam Wen Yue thinks that you lack concern for Xiao Long Nu.

Hearing this, Chen Changwen seemed to fall into deep thought and did not speak again.

Until half a minute later...

"Governor Wei has great trust in you, Chongxiao...his niece seems to be the same."

"Uh, I'm honored."

"Just an honor?"

Chen Changwen's eyes suddenly became a little sharp, but it was far from the level of hostility.

Specifically, it seemed as if Chongxiao had done something that made him unhappy...

"Perhaps Governor Wei should have told you in advance."

"…Huh? Tell me what?"

"Do you know who I am?"

He stood up, stared at Chongxiao very seriously, and said word by word: "Chen Huijie is my biological daughter."

……

Adams Swire.

This wise man, who once dominated the business world in Londinium and was famous for his flexibility, has been tormented by illness for several years. Now even the most basic life is in trouble and he has to stay in bed all day.

The Shihuaiya Group spent a huge amount of money to build a sanatorium for their wise leader, which was equipped with a full set of advanced medical equipment brought back from Victoria, and also hired a pharmacist from Dayan.

But these only prevented Adams' condition from getting worse, but there was no sign of improvement.

As a result, rumors gradually spread within the group, people were in panic, and members of the Shi Huaiya family also began to have different thoughts.

After all...if Adams passed away, then such a huge business group would definitely need an absolute leader...

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Accompanied by violent coughing, Adams opened his eyes helplessly and sat up from the bed.

He is indeed not young anymore, but he still has a strong will to survive and has no intention of giving up his life at all.

Of course, the huge Shihuaiya Group cannot be abandoned.

After taking a few deep breaths and regulating his breathing, Adams pressed the communicator button beside the bed.

In order to facilitate his remote command of the group's operations, this treatment room is equipped with a complete communication system, which can contact every key person in the group at any time, and can even be connected to a computer to start a remote video conference.

But even so, Adams would contact his secretary every time he woke up and ask if anything noteworthy had happened in the past few hours.

Today was no exception… The secretary gave a brief report on the daily affairs of the group, causing Adams to nod secretly.

After moving the entire group to Longmen, in order to quickly gain a foothold and transform the industry, he made friends with Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu and asked the private armed forces he hired to assist the Guards in exchange for preferential treatment in trade.

This trick is very useful... The Guard Bureau at that time was not very powerful, with limited personnel and no outstanding combat power. It was completely opposite to the current situation of having the three trump cards of Chongxiao Star Bear Texas. Let alone managing the marginal areas where gangs were rampant, it was good enough to be able to improve the public security in the core streets.

The assistance provided by Adams gave the group the opportunity to gain a foothold in Longmen, and unlike the gangs under the Rat King, Longmen needed economic support at all times.

"By the way, Chairman, Governor Wei called half an hour ago."

"He? What is he going to do?"

"The Governor wants to meet with you and ask when is a suitable time."

Adams looked up at the time and then pondered for a moment.

"Call him back and tell him you can now...remember to be respectful."

Things are different now. With the special inspection team sweeping away the three gang bosses and the Rat King still disappearing and unnoticed, Wei Yanwu's prestige and influence in Longmen is actually about to surpass that of the "Governor".

After all, Longmen has no army, so Wei Yanwu, who controls the Guard Bureau, is equivalent to controlling the most important military power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the local emperor of this mobile city... Anyway, the True Dragon Emperor of Dayan has never cared much about Longmen.

Therefore, Adams, who was not very sensible about the current situation, naturally would not bargain with him as before.

I don't have that strength anymore...

"Is your illness a little exaggerated, Adams?"

As soon as he was brought in, Wei Yanwu made a rather malicious joke.

If it were a few years ago, Adams would probably have responded in the same way, but now he had neither the energy nor the qualifications, so he just waved his hand and asked the secretary to leave the room.

"Governor Wei never comes to visit me unless he has something important to do. Just tell me what you want to do with an old man like me."

"Old man? Your self-proclaimed title is a bit exaggerated. As far as I know... Shihuaiya Group is still directly controlled by you, right?"

"… Governor Wei doesn't need to worry about this."

Adams was startled and decided to conduct a secret investigation within the group after Wei Yanwu left.

Wei Yanwu should not know the internal situation of the group. Since he was hospitalized for illness, he has been claiming to the outside world that he is recovering and recuperating... So, there must be someone in the group who "defected" to Wei Yanwu, or he must have an informant.

"Don't worry, Longmen still needs to rely on your Shihuaiya Group. I am also planning to award your sons with honorary medals for economic development."
