Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 717 - 391

Although they were not in a relationship... seeing his daughter not eating or drinking well, losing 20 pounds after Jia Shu's death, he knew his daughter had deep feelings.

Thus, even if Huang Shangzong didn't want to pursue the matter anymore... every time he came home and saw his daughter's haggard appearance, a nameless fire kindled in his heart.

Of course... he wasn't the sort to determine that Yan Chen was the sole cause of the disaster just based on a tape.

During this time, using various sources and channels, he had come to understand the situation in Xinjie City around the time of Jia Shu's death.

He believed the recording was real.

And believed that Yan Chen indeed had ultimately abandoned Jia Shu.

But... all this was clearly orchestrated and pushed forward by Qiu Tu.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Put simply, Qiu Tu had thoroughly calculated Yan Chen's personality and the situation in Xinjie City, and then deliberately set up everything for Yan Chen to abandon Jia Shu.

Yan Chen indeed facilitated the death of Jia Shu, but Qiu Tu and Liu Xiongyuan were still inescapably involved.

Thus, the only function of this recording was to add another person to Huang Shangzong's list of dislikes.

But... that was precisely Qiu Tu's intention.

Thinking of this, even Huang Shangzong couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Even though he had seen through everything and understood Qiu Tu's purpose, he had to admit... once that recording was presented to him, he really could no longer trust Yan Chen.

Thus, his prior support for Yan Chen to become a Member of Parliament again and to be Liu Xiongyuan's deputy had just fizzled out...

Qiu Tu played an open strategy, just with a bit of sinister manipulation that discomforted people psychologically.

This was also why Huang Shangzong disliked Qiu Tu.

He felt that Qiu Tu calculated too deeply and liked manipulating too much. Such a person might thrive in the middle and lower ranks, but wasn't suitable for high positions.

Considering this, Huang Shangzong gradually came back to his senses.

Since he withdrew his support from Yan Chen a few days ago, Yan Chen might not have understood what was happening at first, but after a few days should have figured out the whole story.

And Qiu Tu possibly being a Zhao Ji believer was probably his counterattack.

Yan Chen also used an open strategy.

To collude with the Evil God, or even to become an Evil God Cultist, was always a deep violation. Once discovered, it was a grave sin.

So, even though Huang Shangzong didn't want to be a "pawn" in their conflict, he couldn't avoid stepping in.

Especially since... he didn't like Qiu Tu in the first place.

"Damn, how come it feels... like I, a Speaker, have become a puppet tossed around by two Bureau Chiefs?"

"Being manipulated here and there."

Huang Shangzong rubbed his head, cursing inwardly.

He figured it out. Those who play conspiracies really have dirty hearts.

He, a man of force, simply couldn't compete.

Thinking this, he no longer wanted to overthink.

As long as he remained true to his own principles, he would let the two of them create a fuss.

"Okay, let Yanyan go with you."

After making this decision, Huang Shangzong felt somewhat weary.

His tall frame leaned back in the chair, then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, you may go."

"When the time comes, arrange a special duty team under my authority to protect the three of you."

"Be cautious in Xinjie City."

"Yes!" Ai Li replied.

Then she bowed and turned to leave Huang Shangzong's office.

Her twin ponytails, one pink and one blue, swayed behind her, appearing both eccentric and slightly non-mainstream.

Huang Shangzong's gaze fell on the bouncing ponytails, and he considered extending a hand to stop her and remind her: now that she was a director, she should be mindful of her image and influence.

But... his large hand was raised, yet in the end, he let it fall.

"Really can't understand these young people! What exactly are they thinking!"

With that thought, Huang Shangzong didn't want to think about Qiu Tu, his daughter, Yanyan, or Ai Li anymore.

He simply shut his ears and picked up a document on the table.

It was boldly titled "United Front Elimination & 12-City Capture Plan"....

Tang Feifei always acted decisively and energetically.
