The Ambitions to Conquer the Official Career
Chapter 463

Chapter 463: 463

When Chu Zhendong and his men arrived, the valley was very quiet.

Nothing had happened for a long time, so the clan’s guard personnel here would never expect an attack at such a time; even those on surveillance duty were not in the office.

It had to be acknowledged that there were some secret monitors and such installed around, so if anyone came, they would be detected immediately.

Even though Chu Zhendong and his men were very cautious, if someone had been in the duty room, they would have been noticed, but now, with everyone eating, truly no one detected their arrival.

Chu Zhendong also knew that they couldn’t keep their presence hidden for long; he just wanted to try, so he quickly lit the incense provided by Liu Qiushui. If it could be lit, he estimated it could knock some people out.

However, what Chu Zhendong and the others didn’t expect was that everything went so smoothly that they thought it was a trap set by the opponents to catch them all there.

But, since things had reached this point, they definitely had to continue.

So, everyone found a spot and lit the incense there.

Looking at the quiet situation, Chu Zhendong hesitated for a long time before taking any action.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and finally ordered everyone to move in.

As they all entered, they found that there wasn’t the expected heavily fortified situation, but rather many people slumped over drunk in their rooms, and even if they weren’t drunk, they were sleeping very deeply.

What on earth was going on?

Although they didn’t know what had happened, Chu Zhendong and his people moved very quickly, promptly restraining those people.

As they continued deeper inside, they found many more people passed out in their beds; even when Chu Zhendong reached Huang Xiong’s residence, apart from Huang Xiong, there were two women sleeping there.

The two women had been drugged, while Huang Xiong was clearly drunk.

That was really unexpected!

Although the whole situation was unexpected, Chu Zhendong was still very pleased and had everyone detain the people in one place. After setting up guards, they began to search the area.

Huang Xiong and his people had probably never imagined that someone could take control of the place so silently, so many areas were easily accessed.

When Chu Zhendong found a safe and managed to open it using a key taken from Huang Xiong, he was shocked by the mass of items inside. Glancing through, he spotted a file involving a city official entangled with several women.

Picking up another, it was a file on a female business owner.

He was aware of the famous female entrepreneur in the city, and here he saw she was involved with two attractive men in an indecent act.

They really knew how to play!

After reviewing several files, Ji Yang understood that this was the place where many of their blackmail materials were stored, which they used to control various people.

Moreover, Chu Zhendong saw that the facility was equipped with a self-destruct mechanism which, had it not been for Huang Xiong’s palm print, would have made opening the safe impossible for anyone else.

What luck!

After disabling the self-destruct mechanism with care, Chu Zhendong carefully replaced the materials, knowing that Ji Yang would definitely need them in the next step.

Once Chu Zhendong had the people from the Huang Family brought over and saw that things were under control, he felt much more at ease.

However, Chu Zhendong knew there was much more to be done. Besides handling the situation here, he still needed to rush to the city to meet with Secretary Ji, hand over the materials, and then call in more people from the city to take care of Kuzhu Town.

If they hadn’t taken down this valley prior, things would have been more difficult, but now there was no need to take the people away, they could just be kept here. He himself could hurriedly make it to the city alone.

Chu Zhendong entrusted everything to Su Zhiping with confidence in Su Zhiping’s abilities to manage the situation here.

"Brother Chu, what about Secretary Ji?" someone asked.

"Don’t worry about that, Secretary Ji’s capabilities mean controlling the situation isn’t difficult," Chu Zhendong replied, full of confidence in Ji Yang’s abilities.

Su Zhiping pondered and also felt confident that nothing would go wrong, saying, "You go ahead, I’ll handle things here."

"I’ll have someone contact Secretary Ji; when there are any instructions, you all just follow Secretary Ji’s orders," Chu Zhendong instructed.

After arranging affairs here and ensuring there were no issues, Chu Zhendong left for the county overnight, knowing time was of the essence.

The valley became quiet once again, only now the guards were some different people.

Chu Zhendong had actually considered bringing more people from the county, but after some thought, he decided against it. While he could trust the men he brought, he couldn’t say the same for those from the county.

Even among those left behind, Ji Yang had secretly assigned Gao Changjun to keep watch; if anyone tried to do something out of line, they would be taken down immediately.
