723: Chapter 723: Fallen Angel, Cecilia 723: Chapter 723: Fallen Angel, Cecilia That morning, in the Imperial Capital.
Chen Bu’e acted swiftly and decisively, as the Intelligence Agency directly investigated two senior officials within the Forbidden City.
These two high-level officials had secretly become the protective umbrella for the Song Family.
Over the years, the officials covertly sheltered the Song Family, covering up their various criminal activities, protecting the family, and allowing them to commit lawless acts, eventually becoming the underground emperors of Qiong Province.
In the process, the two officials also took the opportunity to amass a substantial amount of benefits.
Chen Bu’e directly targeted the two, capturing them.
And from their homes, a large amount of bribe money was uncovered.
The cash balances found in their homes added up to more than five billion!
Moreover, they had purchased assets worth hundreds of billions overseas.
The two planned to live abroad after retirement.
They had already paved the way for their futures.
Yet, to their surprise, before they could retire, they were arrested and brought to justice by Chen Bu’e.
…
In the afternoon, in Qiong Province.
The official website account of the Song Family suddenly posted a new message: [Breaking Announcement!
Ms.
Song Jianjia will be officially appointed as the new Chairperson of the Song Corporation and will take the position of the Family Head of the Song Family!]
As soon as this message was released, Qiong Province was shaken once again.
The Song Family was not exterminated?
It had changed hands instead!
The female general of the Song Family, Song Jianjia, had actually become the new head of the family?!
The sky of Qiong Province was about to turn chaotic!
In Qiong Province, Lin Shuang slept the whole day in the hotel, not waking up until the afternoon.
As soon as Lin Shuang woke up, he received a call from Su Wanqiao.
Su Wanqiao had also seen the obituary message released by the Song Family and was calling to inquire about the situation urgently.
She was worried that Lin Shuang might be injured.
“Don’t worry, what injury could I possibly have?” Lin Shuang casually brushed it off, indicating he was not injured.
On the other end of the phone, Su Wanqiao asked anxiously, “How exactly did you annihilate the Song Family?”
Su Wanqiao found it hard to believe.
It was, after all, the Song Family, a super-family that had lasted a century.
How could Lin Shuang possibly have destroyed the Song Family?
Su Wanqiao still didn’t believe it.
Lin Shuang found an excuse and replied, “It wasn’t me who destroyed the Song Family; it was an internal rebellion within the family.
That woman, Song Jianjia, led a revolt, killing the head of the Song Family and a number of direct-line seniors, usurping power for herself.”
Lin Shuang absolved himself completely.
He could not let Su Wanqiao know that he was the one who had dispatched an army from the Netherworld to exterminate the Song Family.
Su Wanqiao heard and did not suspect further.
This explanation seemed more plausible.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Shuang made a call to Song Jianjia and warned her, “The news of last night’s deployment of the Netherworld Army must not be leaked to anyone.
My identity as the Nether King must also be kept secret.
If I find out, your fate will be like your grandfather’s.”
Lin Shuang’s identity still had to remain a secret.
On the other end of the phone, Song Jianjia replied coolly, “Don’t worry, I’m not so foolish as to reveal your identity, which would do me no good.
I’ve already reminded my subordinates not to talk recklessly.
Everything that happened last night will be completely locked down.”
Lin Shuang nodded in affirmation.
Song Jianjia was sensible, which saved him a lot of trouble.
After getting up and freshening up, Lin Shuang also prepared to leave Qiong Province.
Having eliminated the largest crisis for the Su Family, it was time for Lin Shuang to prepare to go to the Imperial Capital.
The mystery of his origins lay in the Imperial Capital; he was destined to set foot on that land of heroes and chaos.
Before leaving the hotel, Lin Shuang made a call to Cecilia.
“Cecilia, your mission is complete.
Lead the Netherworld Army away from the Yanxia Sea Area and return to base to stand by,” Lin Shuang ordered over the phone.
But Cecilia responded, “Your Highness the Nether King, the Netherworld Army has already departed.
However, I have a request.
Could you grant it to me?”
Lin Shuang was taken aback and asked, “What request?”
On the other end of the phone, Cecilia’s voice was enchanting, “Your Highness~ It’s been many years since I’ve seen you, and I miss you terribly…
Can we…
perhaps…”
Lin Shuang’s eyes narrowed, and he rejected her bluntly, “No.”
“Cecilia, remember our stations.
You are a subordinate, I am a leader.
There can be nothing between us, so put an end to that thought.
Return to base immediately,” Lin Shuang reprimanded coldly.
“Are you certain, Nether King?” Suddenly, Cecilia’s voice shifted over the phone, asking in an alluring tone.
While Lin Shuang was holding the phone, all of a sudden…
he felt the scene before him blur.
Lin Shuang felt the world spinning around him, and his body went limp…
collapsing onto the couch.
In his daze, Lin Shuang’s gaze turned toward the hotel room door…
He saw the hotel room door being opened by someone.
