Chapter 441: Chapter 280: A Show of Power!

After finishing reading the dossier, Tang Fei had a general understanding of the case.

Of course, that was only what the written materials presented, and the specific details still called for inspection and supervision.

However, knowing their close relationship with the Lu Family, yet choosing to target them first... Was this the King’s wish or was it Yan Wenli’s trial?

The King intended to perform surgery on the nine major families, did the nine major families know about this?

Were they choosing to sacrifice a part to save the whole, or were they going for broke?

If it was the latter, then it would undoubtedly be an act of treason... Would they end up meeting the same fate as the Tang Family did back then?

But, if the nine major families united, on what basis did the Royal Family think they would definitely be the winner?

Could the Empire withstand such turmoil?

Since he had confirmed his entry into the Monitoring Bureau, Tang Fei had thought over these questions countless times in his mind and had also sought the opportunity to discuss them in-depth with the old man.

Yet, even now, there was no clear answer.

They didn’t believe Zhong Daolong could be so foolish, inflated with confidence to declare war on all nine families at once...

Uniting the others to take down the strongest among them, like his father had, was the smart choice.

Even though it was the Tang Family itself that was taken down.

One step at a time. Now caught in the game, let’s see how the chess master makes his move.

Of course, the most important thing now was to get acquainted with his subordinates.

To get things done, people were essential.

Now being the captain of the second team, this team should rightfully be under his leadership and command.

But, good horses are hard to find, and wild horses are hard to tame, so he decided first to meet them and see what kind of inspectors were under his command.

The Monitoring Bureau was organized into eight divisions, each with its own title.

Division Five was mainly responsible for the Black Cavalry stationed inside and outside Phoenix City, capturing bandits and criminals, and guarding, making it the strongest division in terms of military force within the Monitoring Bureau.

Originally, the task of inspecting the hundreds of officials in the capital was handled by one division, but Yan Wen had placed this case in Division Five and handed it to Tang Fei, the new captain.

Was he intending to use Tang Fei as a tool, with the Black Cavalry from Division Five as his solid backing?

Of course, while the thought was pleasant, he couldn’t be so optimistic...

The minds of those in power were not so easily guessed.

Tang Fei pressed the call button on his desk, and a tall, long-legged young woman dressed in a black OL uniform walked in and asked, "Captain Tang, did you call for me?"

"Who are you?" Tang Fei asked, looking at the uniformed beauty.

"Reporting to Captain Tang, I am Tan Yu, the confidential secretary of the second squad of Division Five of the Monitoring Bureau. Please let me know if there’s anything I can help you with."

"Confidential secretary?" Tang Fei paused for a moment. A squad leader has such a perk? His own secretary?

He had just seen Zhong Jiayuan’s secretary, Hua Juan, who wore a tightly wrapped Monitoring Bureau uniform...

There’s no dress code within the Monitoring Bureau, right?

"Yes," Tan Yu nodded. "Due to the importance and secrecy of inspection work, each squad has a confidential secretary."

"Oh. I understand," Tang Fei nodded and said, "I’m new here; there’s a lot I need to ask you about."

"You’re too polite, Captain." Tan Yu squinted her eyes, sizing up the young captain who seemed too young and said, "I’ve long admired the great name of Captain Tang."

"Oh? You know me?" Tang Fei asked curiously.

"I’m also a ’lying fei.’"

"’Lying fei’?" Tang Fei was taken aback before he remembered he had a fan group.

He gave Tan Yu a thoughtful look and said, "Someone like you shouldn’t be..."

"What do you mean, Captain..." Tan Yu asked, "Do you mean I shouldn’t be a fan, or I shouldn’t be part of the ’lying@#fei’?"

"Both," Tang Fei replied. "The Monitoring Bureau is a strong arm of the Empire; most people working here are determined and highly intelligent, so why would they engage in something like chasing stars?"

"We’re not chasing just any ordinary star. We’re fans of someone who came from Old Land to New Star without any support, who came from poverty, yet, relying on his personal effort and talent, became a shining figure..."

"No foundation? Who doesn’t know I’m closely related to the Princess?" Tang Fei said with a laugh.

"That’s exactly why we’re proud of you. Your ability to save the Princess in a place like Old Land proves you’re lucky, and luck is indeed one part of being successful."

"..."

But as Captain Tang had said, since the Monitoring Bureau was the Empire’s power institution, wouldn’t those working there be more in need of a way to vent?"

"So, being a ’lying fei’ is quite good. Wherever you fall, just lie there. If one could really achieve that state in life, wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing?"

"Let’s not lie down for now," Tang Fei said with a laugh. "Let’s call a meeting first so I can meet everyone and get to know them."

"Alright." Tan Yu nodded and said, "I’ll send you the information on all the team members first so you can get to know everyone."

"Thank you," Tang Fei said with a nod, smiling. It’s handy having fans take care of things you haven’t even thought of yet.

Tang Fei finally felt a little pride in being an idol...

If only he could rely on his looks alone, but for now, it was more about not having any shame.

Led by Tan Yu, when Tang Fei arrived at the meeting room, several people were already seated on both sides of a rectangular table.
