Chapter 678: Undercurrents Brewing

entences still echoed in Baixue Shan's mind. And today, Fatty came to Beijing. He didn't look for Baixue Shan, but had a fierce conflict with Xia Bao Long's brother, Xia Bao Kong, and Sun Shao Hui, ev...At this moment, the major powers entrenched in Yanjing were holding emergency meetings.

Yan Xiaoti looked at the document on the table with filial piety and without expression. The people standing below were silent, afraid to meet Yan Xiaoti's cold gaze.

These people standing below are all powerful figures in Yanjing. Some are local overlords, controlling their own territories, while others hold top positions in various departments. They are influential figures within their circles, yet now they stand before Yan Xiaoti with their heads bowed, like school children waiting for a teacher's lecture.

"Are you sure the information is correct" Yan Xiaoti asked one last time, he still couldn't quite believe the data in front of him because it was too big a deal. He had to be serious about it.

“We’ve triple-checked with the Personnel Bureau. The personnel changes above are absolutely true!” A figure, looking somewhat meek, answered cautiously. In Yanjing City, he was the third-in-command, a seemingly prestigious position that felt more like walking on thin ice. Every step he took required careful consideration, lest he make a wrong move. After all, there were many who coveted his position.

He got this position because he had clung to the Yan family tree early on, and he felt very fortunate about it. So, this time he used his authority to know about personnel changes at the first opportunity, and immediately came to flatter the Yan family.

"Alright, I understand. You all may go now," Yan Xiaohui waved her hand. These people seemed to have released a breath of relief, and one by one they withdrew in an orderly fashion.

After they had left completely, Yan Wuque looked at the files on the table and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, why are these personnel deployments so frequent"

On the table lay files, including a personnel transfer notice just signed by the Municipal Personnel Bureau. The vast majority of names on the list were surnamed Ye, and their transferred positions were all important military posts!

"The Ye Family, finally making a move!" Yan Xiaoti sighed heavily. The Ye Family had been in decline for many years. Ever since Ye Wudao left the Ye Family, they had kept a low profile. Few descendants of the Ye Family even entered the system, as if trying to avoid attention.

Now that the Ye family is acting so brazenly, their purpose is to tell the world of its ostentatious return. Thinking about today's unusual actions by the Ye family, Yan Xiaoti frowned. The Ye family, it seems, has big plans. With the change of terms coming up, will the Ye family do anything out of the ordinary

"Grandpa, judging by Ye Jianqiang's attitude today, it seems that the Ye family has reached some kind of agreement with Ye WuDao. We are very passive." Yan Wuque was telling the truth. They had set a trap, but they were still easily broken by the kid Ye Fan. Was it his strength or luck With so many people supporting him, it wouldn't be easy to move him in the future.

"These are nothing to worry about, the Ye family has been dormant for many years after all. Even if he stands on stage, it won't change the overall situation. We should just proceed with the original plan. It's that Xiao Jie who was taken away by Longya, that's a bit of a problem."

Thinking about the humiliation of today, Yan Xiaoti clenched his brow. The Yan family hadn't suffered such a blow for a long time!

"Xiao Jie, after all, is in a position of authority. How dare we lay a hand on him, even as Dragon's Tooth people"

"Wúqiè, you're wrong again. You only see the surface. This time, they took Xiào Jié back not to deal with him, nor to strike at our Yanyou through him. If I'm right, they simply want to use Xiào Jié as bait to lure out a bigger fish!" Ye Fan's unusual behavior today kept making Yàn Xiàotì uneasy.

"You're saying... they found out about what happened back then" Yan Wuxi widened his eyes. If that were true, things would be troublesome, perhaps even affecting the elaborate plan they had carefully laid out.

Yan Xiaoti hesitantly shook his head. "I don't think so. If they knew, they definitely wouldn't be doing nothing now. After all, the reputation of the War God isn't for nothing. He would surely come crashing in like he did in South Africa. I think they only know part of it, but they definitely don't know the specifics, otherwise they wouldn't go to such lengths to keep Xiao Jie."

Yan Wuque listened more and more uncomfortably. If what his grandfather said was true, then this Xiao Jie would be a ticking time bomb!

"I heard Xiao Jie came from the Ninth Column" Yan Xiaoti suddenly asked.

Yan Wuque's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood his grandfather's meaning!

The Ninth Column was the most important pawn the Yan family secretly laid out in their bid for military power. To join the Ninth Column, one had to be both exceptionally skilled and utterly loyal. The Yan family demanded absolute obedience; even if they ordered them to die, they had to obey without question!

While Xiao Jie did join the Ninth Column back then, he never received any great favor from the Yan family. His family's secrets weren't in the Yan family's hands either. Now, suddenly arranging for him to be sacrificed... knowing Xiao Jie's personality, Yan Wuxue knew he wouldn't be able to do it.

"Grandfather, things shouldn't have come to this, right He holds an important position after all. He's someone the Yan family has poured countless efforts into cultivating... To give up like this..."

Back then, the Yan family spared no effort in cultivating Xiao Jie. They even used some of the Empire's hidden connections to secure him positions as Minister of Martial Arts and Commissioner of Police Affairs. Now to have him just give up like this is simply unacceptable.

"Wu Que, you need to remember one thing: those who accomplish great things are able to bend and stretch. When opportunities arise, you must find ways to seize them. And when the situation demands letting go, you must do so without hesitation!"

Yan Wuque pondered for a while, savoring his grandfather's words carefully before saying, "I understand, Grandpa. However, Xiao Jie has left the Ninth Column for many years; he may not obey organizational arrangements."

Yan Xiaoti gently smiled, but a heavy killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Does he have a choice"

Yan Wuque let out a sigh, it seemed he was still too young to be as bold as his grandfather. "Grandpa, don't worry, I will arrange everything."

"You'd better have the Ninth Regiment handle this. After all, the Dragon Fang people aren't just sitting around." Yan Xiaoti politely said.

The sparrow had no flaws, nodded her head, then turned and left. To make sure a matter could never be solved, the one in charge would cut off all clues. The dead don't speak!

Beijing, Qing~gang Headquarters.

The meeting hall was packed with people. They were all the leaders of the Qing gang's various branches in Beijing. Since taking over Bai Xueshan's territory, the Qing gang had poured in large numbers of people and continuously sent personnel from all over the country. Now, the scale of the Qing gang had surpassed that of the previous Xiaodao Hui.

Especially after the addition of the white wolves, the Qing Gang flourished!here he was going or what he was going to do.She is a smart woman, a smart woman knows what men want. For a man like Ye Fan, she doesn't expect to be unique to him, as long as she has a place in his h...
