Let them offer their loyalty!
Chapter 1145 - 531: Promoted to Two States Garrison Commander! (10,000 Characters for Monthly Ticket!)_2

Old Rao, with an otherworldly demeanor, pointed at Pang Haichen.

The secretary hurried forward to respectfully hand the document to Pang Haichen.

Pang Haichen accepted the document with a perplexed expression, then quickly scanned through it.

After a moment, he exclaimed with shock, "Tian Baoyu has a nephew named Tian Dafu?"

"According to Tian Baoyu's operations, in cooperation with Yan Chen and Ye Mingfeng, they developed Xinjie City and received the 'Peak Third-Level Medal.' Not only could he attend the Municipal Committee meetings, but he also had a Level 3 exemption privilege?" (Chapter 54)

"After that, he monopolized the communications market around Xinjie City and started a communications business by relying on Tian Baoyu's background?" (Chapter 61)

"In the end, he ran into Qiu Tu's rise, and fell into Qiu Tu's hands?"

Old Rao slightly nodded, then said with an indifferent expression, "Moreover, this Tian Dafu is also colluding with the United Front and the Evil God."

"He once used his background and the city-wide communications monitoring system to bribe Jia Shu, intending to silence the witness and Qiu Tu." (Chapter 96)

"Later, Qiu Tu discovered the inside story of this matter, and so cooperated with Dai Yukang to apply for a special investigation order through the 'military' channels, forcefully pushing this case forward." (Chapter 123)

Saying this, Old Rao stroked his snow-white beard, "From this, you can also see how much resistance Tian Baoyu added to Qiu Tu in this matter."

"You understand Qiu Tu's character. He's not someone who accepts losses easily."

"He didn't investigate earlier because he was too weak then."

Hearing Old Rao's words, Pang Haichen couldn't help but interject, "So... after he became the Speaker, he began secretly investigating the trail of Tian Dafu, eventually linking it back to Tian Baoyu?"

"Then threatening the Sanctuary to deal with Tian Baoyu?"

Old Rao first nodded, then shook his head, "Sort of. He did find some clues. But most of the investigation was done by Old Tang."

"His grandson-in-law asked him to investigate, so he definitely had to make a show of it."

"And as a result of the investigation, it led to Tian Baoyu."

Saying this, Old Rao picked up his tea, took a shallow sip, and said deliberately, "Of course, Old Tang has a big-picture perspective."

"Upon discovering the higher-ups involved, he consulted with me, and decided to suppress this matter for now, and let it gradually fade."

"But... now, you see Qiu Tu's situation."

Old Rao's words cut off halfway, but Pang Haichen instantly understood the hidden meaning!

Previously, Tian Baoyu was more valuable. For stability and unity, Elder Tang chose to keep Tian Baoyu.

But now... Qiu Tu has soared high, cutting down a Sixth Tier.

Now it's the Sanctuary that needs him, not the other way around.

So, Tian Baoyu suddenly became a discarded pawn.

After all, being able to recruit a 'Super Order' combat power, what does a high-ranking figure count for?

Especially a high-ranking figure who has made mistakes!

Thinking this way, Pang Haichen suddenly felt everything fall into place!

No wonder Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng delayed taking action and suddenly acted while en route to New State!

Simply put, the two calculated on the road: The matter Qiu Tu wanted them to handle hadn't been dealt with yet.

Therefore, they first dealt with Tian Baoyu, giving Qiu Tu a meeting gift!

Thinking this, although Pang Haichen's face remained unchanged, in his heart, he truly hated Qiu Tu!

First, he captured Muye, then snatched the 'Earth Vein Flower' from the 'Fog Hidden Association.'

Subsequently, he slew two Sixth Tier Evil Gods, 'Yaksha' and 'Beautiful Wind'!

Finally, he even uprooted the 'Academic Faction'!

Pang Haichen felt that Qiu Tu definitely had a grudge against him! Otherwise, he couldn't target him so conspicuously!

And at this moment, as Pang Haichen was thinking this.

Old Rao spoke again.

He said with a serious expression, "Old Pang."

"Since you're one of us, I'll speak to you frankly."

Hearing Old Rao's words, Pang Haichen snapped out of his thoughts, then asked, "Speaker, please go ahead."

Old Rao, with a stern look, said, "I don't trust Qiu Tu."

Pang Haichen was slightly taken aback.

Old Rao continued, "His path of controlling Evil Gods with Evil Gods is inherently too dangerous."

"One false step could lead to utter chaos for the entire situation."

"But... his path, until now, has not caused problems and has brought many benefits to our Human Camp."

"So, Elder Tang and I are more inclined to take things one step at a time."

"However!" As he said this, Old Rao shifted the tone of his voice and looked at Pang Haichen with his keen eyes, saying, "We must keep a close watch on him, balance him, and restrict him."

"This person must not only hold a high status and have seniority but also excel in political maneuvering."

"Elder Tang and I have thought long and hard, and we feel that among the six of us, only you can fulfill this mission."

"This is the core reason we discussed with you about making you the Two States Guardian and transferred Pei Jing to assist you!"

Hearing Old Rao's words, Pang Haichen had an epiphany, finally understanding the series of events that had transpired!

Originally, he thought Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng had suppressed the 'Academic Faction,' so they gradually repaid the faction's lost contributions and status.

Yet, this couldn't explain why he and Pei Jing were both removed from the Central Hub and the military, all concentrated in the Four States!

Now it makes sense, everything can be explained.

Rao Shou and Tang Wanfeng intended to keep an eye on Qiu Tu, preventing issues with Qiu Tu and subsequently chaotic situations.

Of course... Pang Haichen thought further—they might also have intentions of consuming the forces of the 'Academic Faction.'
