Chapter 129: The Storm

News of the resignation of the intelligence director spread throughout the imperial capital the next day and also to the ships driving along the way.

"The current director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau submitted his resignation due to health reasons?" Lu Beiyan deliberately recited the news loudly, and at the same time turned his doubts to his son-in-law. Not only him, but Lu Lingfeng and his sister were also full of confusion. Who doesn't know that the current director of the Intelligence Bureau Bruce is from the Chen family and belongs to Mr. Chen. In the current sensitive period, he suddenly said he was sick and submitted his resignation, which inevitably reminds people of a lot.

"Resign?" Chen Fang pretended to be surprised.

"Boy, don't pretend to be stupid with Lu. Who is Bruce? The Intelligence Director is his? Unless the Chen family permits, he will not dare to submit his resignation letter with three courages. This is clearly what the Chen family means. He is yours. Perhaps the person who asked him to resign is Chen Bowei, but you will never be unaware of it." Lu Beiyan never rubs sand in his eyes.

"My father-in-law is as keen as a wise man. How can my little trick escape your eyes?" Chen Fang admitted with a smile, knowing that he couldn't hide it.

"Don't blame your father-in-law for being troubled. Now is an extraordinary period, you must be cautious in everything. I just want to know whether Bruce's resignation is your intention? Or Chen Bowei?" Lu Beiyan said seriously. If it was the Chen family's intention, don't blame him for turning against him. Give Chen Bowei some color to see, and the Secretary of State would not be indifferent.

"Thank you for your concern, this is what I mean. I have no intention of competing for the position of head of the family, but now I have become the target of public criticism. It is better to retreat bravely than to take a step back and take a step forward to the vast sky." Chen Fang smiled gratefully and expressed his appreciation.

"What a brave retreat, what a vast ocean and a vast ocean, what a great saying is! It is rare that a virtuous son-in-law has this kind of demeanor, so he must have a good drink later." Lu Beiyan laughed happily. It would be better to take a step back and watch the fire from the other side of the river. If it weren't for the in-laws reminding him in advance, he wouldn't see the tricks.

"What? My brother-in-law wants to withdraw from the struggle for the head of the family?" Lu Lingfeng was completely confused. If he had retreated in the last minute, he would have been scolded half to death by his father. Not only did his brother-in-law not be scolded, but he also received praise.

"What do you understand?" Lu Beiyan Hu raised his face and scolded angrily.

A moment later, a call came from the dedicated communicator.

"Nonsense! Didn't I repeatedly remind you to keep a low profile?" The few people not far from the communicator heard the roar of the Secretary of State regardless of their identity, which also made Lu Beiyan feel a little confused. Did he see it wrong?

The scheming grandfather is better than Lu Beiyan. He knows that he is his grandson's masterpiece without asking, and he also looks at problems much more profound than Lu Beiyan.

The grandson's retreat seemed to follow a low-key strategy, but in fact, it was too high-profile to be high-profile. What kind of method is this to order Bruce to resign? Can people with no ambitions play? If it were any other children of the Chen family, I would never dare to do so randomly.

This kind of trick is okay to deceive outsiders, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from Chen Bowei. Besides, my grandson's sword has been swung on Chen Bowei's head and it will not hurt if it is chopped on his body? It is not difficult to imagine that Chen Bowei's study has been in a mess at this moment, and it is pitiful to those rare treasures.

Bang, the exquisite blue crystal teapot was thrown on the ceiling by Chen Bowei, and turned into pieces and sprinkled down one after another.

The competition among the children of the Chen family is getting more and more intense, which is enough for him to have a headache. On the one hand, if this situation continues to be delayed, it will inevitably hurt the vitality of the Chen family. He must decide the candidate for the head of the family as soon as possible. On the other hand, he must protect the safety of his children and cannot make the competition too fierce. Any child is the precious wealth of the Chen family and cannot be lost.

Even if other children are arrogant, they can still be under his control. Chen Fang's sudden move was unexpected and caught him off guard.

Bruce's resignation may not only cause the Chen family to lose the position of intelligence director, but the ensuing fight may also cause the situation to be completely out of control. Once the water is muddled, the open and secret struggles of the children will become even more crazy. By that time, he is worried that he will be unable to protect the safety of all his children.

"If I remember correctly, this blue crystal teapot is your favorite. You don't know how many times you have smashed it, but it has been intact." The wife quietly entered the room and walked around the fragments lightly. Among the women who married into the Chen family, she was not beautiful and her life experience was not prominent enough. However, it was this woman with an ordinary background and an ordinary appearance, who firmly tied up the most powerful man in the empire.

For the superiors, smashing things is a good habit. It not only releases anger, but also helps calm the mood. If you smash a few gadgets, you can get a calm decision, which is undoubtedly very cost-effective, although each gadget in the room is very valuable.

"No more!" Chen Bowei overturned the table and threw away the Blue Crystal Teapot, and the above was empty.

"Not anymore? Are you talking about teapots or people?" the wife asked with a smile.

"You seem to know why I got angry?" Chen Bowei couldn't help but be moved. As the head of the family, he never discussed family affairs with his wife, and did not even reveal any information. It seemed that he had no problem with talking in his sleep.

"What else can I do? The Imperial Intelligence Director submitted his resignation. Although he has not officially stepped down, this matter has been causing a lot of controversy in the empire. It is very difficult if I don't know." His wife smiled.

"So, let's talk, why am I worried?" Chen Bowei tentatively.

"You are upset with two things. First, the candidate for the intelligence director. If the Chen family does not want to lose this, they can only see the eyes of the Aojia Empire, they must find the right person to replace Bruce as soon as possible. You are not a person who loses your temper. At this moment, you must be worried about the candidate." His wife said calmly.

"I wonder what my wife has to look for? " Chen Bowei sneered after calming down.

"I think Smith might as well take over. Among the many competitors, he is the most popular. It is legitimate to push him to the top and has a great chance of winning." His wife answered serenely.

"Who is Smith?" Chen Bowei asked suddenly.

"Isn't he the fifth young master's person?" his wife was puzzled.

"Can you say that he is the fifth young master, which means that your recommendation is not selfish. What about the second one? Didn't you say there are two things?" Chen Bowei was a little disappointed.

"You were furious, which means that Bruce submitted his resignation, but you didn't know in advance. His resignation was the decision of the third son. You were angry about the third son's decision. But in my opinion, the third son was just twenty years old and had been troubled by the disease for seven years. He was inevitably not mature enough in his work. This trick might be his grandfather's teachings." The wife analyzed.

"You are a woman after all, and it is rare to see this layer." Chen Bowei shook his head, his wife's answer was far from the facts.

"In this way, I am all about women's opinions. Why don't you say it out and let the little girl listen?" the wife asked with a smile.

"You are not stupid. You know that I hate women getting involved in family affairs the most, and you still want to get involved today. Do you want to talk to me? Do you think I can't see it? Well, I will talk to you. At this time, the Secretary of State must teach his grandson to restrain his sharpness. With his determination, if the third young master listens to him completely, he might be able to hide me. However, the move to make Bruce resign is full of murderous intentions and showing his sharpness is not his way. Besides, even if the Secretary of State is willing to give advice to the third young master, he will not be able to do such an ignorant thing." Chen Bowei gradually calmed down and sat on the only remaining chair.

My wife also felt polite when she heard this.

"The Intelligence Bureau is different from other departments. It is a place where secrets are collected and kept secrets. If you want to protect the secrets, you cannot have democracy. Even if someone successfully becomes the Intelligence Bureau Director, you will never be able to hold this agency in your hands in less than three or two years. Besides, it is an extraordinary period. No one can sit steadily in this position. Since no one can sit steadily, the real power will fall into the second and third figures of the Intelligence Bureau, and the minds of each department. They are all promoted by Bruce.

The confidant, at least before the dust settled, the Intelligence Agency was still in the hands of Bruce, and of course it was still in the hands of the Third Young Master. The Third Young Master did not actually let go of the Intelligence Agency, but made others think that he gave up. With just such a small trick, he let himself out of everyone's sight." Chen Bowei paused and then continued, "Since the Intelligence Agency was still in the hands of the Chen family, why should I worry about finding someone?"

"Yes, since you can see all this, why bother?" The wife gently stroked her husband's shoulder.

"I can see it clearly, but the children of the Chen family can't understand it. They will fight, fight, fight for a vacant that does not exist. That position is a guillotine. Don't you still recommend Smith to the top? Smith comes to the top, and he is not the only one who dies. You don't think about it. Bruce suddenly announced his resignation. Although we know that this is done by the third son, outsiders don't know it. They must think it's what I mean. They think that the third son has fallen out of favor. If the fifth son is the intelligence director at this time, what will other children think?" Chen Bowei lost his peace in a blink of an eye.

"They must think that you are going to cultivate the fifth prince. They think that the fifth prince is the biggest obstacle for them to compete for the position of the head of the family, and the fifth prince will become the target of public criticism." His wife was shocked.

"What's more, Smith is not a member of the Chen family. He is a dog raised by the Delan family. Pushing him to the stage is equivalent to handing over the intelligence agency to the Delan family." Chen Bowei said with a word that marriage can attract forces, but it also has its drawbacks. The Delan family is the mother's home of the fifth son's mother.

"This~" the wife was speechless.

"I know that among the many children of the Chen family, you are most optimistic about the fifth young master, and it is not out of selfishness. Indeed, over the years, the fifth young master has performed very well and is the best among the many children of the Chen family. But I must tell you that he has been eliminated in the competition of the head of the family. A few days ago, he sent someone to kill the third young master, thinking that he could hide the truth. How smart the Secretary of State is, he can't guess who did it? Pretending to be ignoring the Chen family's face. He can think that he is unaware of it, but he can't pretend to be confused. I have to remember that he owe the Secretary of State a favor!" Chen Bowei's anger burst out again, and the remaining chair was kicked to the wall and smashed to pieces.

"The fifth young master was eliminated! Even if he had the courage, he would not dare to send someone to assassinate his brother. This must be his mother's idea. It would be unfair to him to kick him out of this matter." His wife carefully defended.

"This is even more hopeless! As a child of the Chen family, he has to learn to use his relationship, but he has no opinion and is merciless. He can do something that can be merciless. How can I hand over the power of the Chen family to such children? When he becomes the head of the family, how many children of the Chen family can be left?" Chen Bowei expressed his thoughts with ulterior motives. The future helmsman of the Chen family must be an independent person. The real reason for being eliminated by the fifth son at the merciless man. How can the head of the Chen family be a puppet under the command?

The wife seems to have realized something, and a child who is ruthless and at the mercy of others is indeed not qualified to be the head of the family.

"Do you know, why should I tell you this?" Chen Bowei asked lightly.

"You never talk about the criteria for choosing the head of the family, nor do you reveal any information, but today you deliberately told me that you must let me tell the fifth young master these words." His wife sighed quietly.

"You go first." Although he was unwilling to admit it in his heart, Chen Bowei knew very well that he had disclosed in advance that the fifth young master was forced to do so.

The subsequent chaos may have blocked his sight, and eventually led to the unscrupulous fight between the Chen family. If there is no fear, the easiest and most direct way to get rid of the opponent is assassination. He must let the monkeys restrain themselves and kill a chicken for them to see. The fifth young master is the chicken.

After seeing off his wife, Chen Bowei rushed to Bruce's home. Bruce worked for the Chen family for many years, but now he is so sick that he is about to resign. He said that he should go to "visit".

Even with the order of the third son, Bruce submitted his resignation without his permission, which really made him furious. However, after calming down, it is not difficult to understand the person's difficulties. If he had known him in advance, he would not agree. How dangerous the situation is now. It is better to lose his post than torn to pieces. Besides, he has a son, as long as he is favored by the third son, it is not difficult to have a chance to make a comeback.
