Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 791: Chapter 791: He is Supreme, The Real Master of Political Manipulation

The one standing at the door of the office is Huo Qiang.

Several stern men, dressed in black, followed behind him.

The right side of their bodies bulged slightly, indicating that they were carrying weapons.

Qin Ruan looked slightly surprised: "Why are you here? How is Brother Rong?"

Seeing Huo Qiang, her first reaction was that something had happened to Huo Yirong.

Huo Qiang straightened his back: "Madam, for now, we don’t know about Master’s condition, but with the Head of Gongsun Family around, there should be no errors."

He had been assigned a task by the third master very early in the morning. He deployed his plan immediately and had been waiting outside the criminal investigation department for an opportunity.

Seeing the members of Tianxing Team led by the Cabinet in the morning, he knew it was his time to act.

Before his arrival, he had already understood the three cases that occurred in the East, South, and North City the night before. He was aware of whom the Cabinet was after and understood that the cunning old members of the Cabinet had used the Tianxing Team this time.

The Lu Family had just gained control and their foundation was not stable. The elders in the Cabinet did not harbor dissatisfaction towards the Lu Family, but neither did they have a heart of obedience.

If they could cause some troubles and discomfort for the Lu Family, they were more than willing.

The unusual relationship between Lu Han and Shao Xujie was an opportunity for the Cabinet to cause trouble for the Lu Family.

Huo’s family would have turned a blind eye to this matter, had a member of their household not been involved.

As it was related to Qin Ruan, the Huo Family couldn’t let their own people suffer.

Knowing that Huo Yirong was all right, Qin Ruan’s worry gradually diminished.

As Lu Han hung up the call, he understood the significance of Huo Qiang’s timely arrival.

His gaze fell on Qin Ruan, his eyes filled with indescribable complexity.

It seemed that Qin Ruan’s position in the third master’s heart was more profound than he had thought.

Yuan Zhiwei was the only one left in confusion.

Lu Han’s respectful attitude towards Qin Ruan, which was not too obvious, but very careful. Huo Qiang’s group appearing suddenly in front of the door, their subservient attitude towards Qin Ruan.

Yuan Zhiwei noticed all these, his brain processing rapidly, trying to guess Qin Ruan’s identity.

Among the four great families and six aristocratic clans in the Capital City, none of them bore the surname of Qin.

Could it be one of those hidden families that he wasn’t aware of?

No, it wasn’t right!

None of the old prestigious families bore the Qin surname either.

Lu Han walked to the entrance of the door and politely asked Huo Qiang: "Can the members of Tianxing Team be handled?"

Huo Qiang responded calmly, "As the third master ordered at dawn, in the recent days, all the departments in the Capital City will fully cooperate with Madam, including the Tianxing Team."

Getting the definite answer, Lu Han’s tension eased quite a bit.

He let out a breath of relief, turned to Qin Ruan, and said with a smile, "Madam, I owe you another favor."

Qin Ruan also smiled, "I still don’t know what happened. Can someone tell me what is going on?"

Lu Han sighed deeply, "The Lu Family assumed power too quickly and thus created jealousy. The people in the Cabinet are not happy. They have somehow managed to involve the Tianxing Team, our superhuman events management bureau."

"The Tianxing Team does not serve any family. They are only responsible for protecting the ruling family during their term. The Tianxing Team does not permit any supernatural phenomenon, which is harmful to human events. Upholding world order is their duty."

Qin Ruan was astonished, "There is actually such a department."

"The Tianxing Team has the task to maintain the normal world order. Only high-ranking internal personnel know about their existence."

Qin Ruan still had doubts, "Isn’t their intervention beneficial for the case?"

If the arrival of the Tianxing Team was to help the case, this would be a huge aid for Shao Xujie’s case. Why then, did Lu Han look like a great disaster had befallen him?

Lu Han shook his head, his face was covered with a cold and stern expression, "The Tianxing Team’s methods are cruel. Everyone involved in a supernatural event, once they fall into their hands, will either end up dead or seriously injured. Many people who have been taken away by the Tianxing Team simply disappear without a trace."

Qin Ruan understood, the Tianxing Team’s unrestricted methods made them more powerful than the law itself.

She nodded indicating the understanding of the situation, "One last question. Why would the Cabinet use the Shao Xujie matter to embarrass you? Your relationship has to be beyond the usual superior and subordinate, right?"

If it was just a simple relationship, any of Lu Han’s subordinates from the past could be used by those with ulterior motives to cause discomfort for the Lu Family.

Lu Han’s deep eyes were faintly cold, speaking in a soothing voice, "Shao Xujie once saved me during a mission. At that time, I had busted a major drug case and was targeted for revenge by brutal criminals. Shao Xujie took a bullet for me and was hospitalized for a month."

The Cabinet knew about this incident. They were fully aware that he would not ignore Shao Xujie’s involvement in a murder case. He would certainly protect him, and they seized this opportunity.

Suddenly, Huo Qiang spoke, "Young Master Lu, the third master had a message for you when I was about to leave."

Lu Han looked curious, "What is it?"

"The third master said that you have been holding a position away from the center for too long, and you seem to have forgotten the art of balance and constraint. Sometimes, being too considerate is not necessarily a good thing."

Hearing Huo Qiang’s words, Lu Han’s expression became awkward, but he could not refute.

Indeed, in recent years, he had not interfered in the family’s internal affairs. The way he acted according to his nature made him forget about the open and secret struggles between different powers.

He couldn’t help but admire the third master’s keen sense of smell.

Even though the third master was not involved in these power struggles, he could clearly see everything happening beneath the muddy waters, controlling every move from the outside.

He could predict events that had not yet taken place based on small changes in his surroundings. By taking pre-emptive measures, he could guide these developments to his favor.

He could not only prevent those he cared about from being affected but also let those who benefited feel gratitude.

The Cabinet and the Tianxing Team would undoubtedly feel restless about the third master’s orders.

One should know that the third master hadn’t interfered with the Cabinet’s affairs for a long time, and they began crossing lines over the recent years.

The ones who were initially laying out plans behind the scenes probably didn’t expect themselves to fall into a passive position, let alone being exploited by the third master to his advantage.

The third master’s move was equivalent to hitting three birds with one stone.

He was still so young, holding a supreme position. He was truly a master of the art of power.

However, such people were the most horrifying.

Lu Han’s upbringing, family background, and parents’ social status made him exposed to all of this since childhood. His parents were his teachers, and his family and surroundings provided him opportunities to learn to deal with the strategies of power.

Unfortunately, having been away for so many years, his heart had softened compared to the past.

One cannot separate power from scheming and deception. Only when faced with danger, one would be driven into intrigues. Hence, it’s very necessary to control power appropriately, at least to protect oneself from those who skillfully utilize it.

After returning to his family, Lu Han felt a crisis for the first time.
