Chapter 773: 187. It’s all Dihua! (6000 words)_2
Therefore, in the eyes of the Commoner Faction, Jiang Cheng’s generation of nobility can be considered the conservative faction among the nobles.
And in the past two years, due to the burgeoning power of the Commoner Faction in Xida State, Jiang Cheng had nurous conflicts with many in the Commoner Faction due to ideological clashes, and even had disputes with so commoners within the noble faction. For instance… Fang Ze back then.
Therefore, before eting Jiang Cheng, Jing Tai was prepared for a cold reception or an unpleasant encounter.
But… really?
This is the conservative faction among the nobles?
Jing Tai was montarily bewildered.
He felt… truly seeing is believing. If the conservative faction among the nobles is like this, how kind must the liberal and open factions be?
Did the Commoner Faction perhaps misunderstand sothing?
Though Jing Tai thought a lot in that mont, he didn’t show any emotions outwardly. Seeing Jiang Cheng so enthusiastic towards him, he quickly shook Jiang Cheng’s hand warmly, saying, “Likewise. I’ve heard much about Commissioner Jiang as well.”
Seeing Jing Tai being so friendly, Jiang Cheng’s smile beca even more sincere. While shaking Jing Tai’s hand, he instructed a female officer, “Go brew a pot of Immortal’s Drunkenness. I want to have a good chat with Commissioner Jing Tai.”
Witnessing Jiang Cheng’s earlier actions and hearing his current words, the female officer was stunned. Evidently, she hadn’t expected such a sudden change in their young master.
However, since she was given the order, she couldn’t disobey, so she hurriedly went to prepare it.
At this mont in the office, Jiang Cheng pulled Jing Tai to the sofa, inviting him to sit, and proactively said, “Commissioner Jing Tai, you have really helped a lot.”
“Before I returned, I was still thinking about how to handle this matter. I didn’t expect to find it already settled when I got back.”
This ti, Jing Tai was truly puzzled.
‘Handle this matter? Which matter?!’
‘Already settled? Is he referring to gathering the Security Bureau and the Federal Defense Team? I didn’t do it for him. I did it for myself…’
Thinking of this, Jing Tai couldn’t fathom what Jiang Cheng was talking about, so his mind raced as he looked at Jiang Cheng. He tentatively asked, “Commissioner Jiang, you an gathering the Security Bureau and the Federal Defense Team?”
Hearing Jing Tai’s words, Jiang Cheng smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, “What else could it be?”
Jing Tai: ??
Seeing Jiang Cheng’s all-knowing expression, Jing Tai felt shrouded in mist. He tentatively asked again, “Commissioner Jiang, do you know what gathering the Security Bureau and the Federal Defense Team is for?”
Seeing his cautious deanor, Jiang Cheng attributed it to excessive prudence without suspicion. So Jiang Cheng glanced at the door, ensuring no one was around, then leaned closer to Jing Tai and whispered, “Isn’t it to eliminate that organization?” Then he even gave Jing Tai a little wink.
Jing Tai was shocked. But it was too bizarre for him to believe imdiately.
At that mont, Jiang Cheng pointed upwards and said, “Isn’t it all… arranged?”
Jing Tai was even more stunned!
But it wasn’t over yet. Jiang Cheng patted his shoulder again and said, “Stop overthinking. Although I’m a noble, I’ve long been one of your Commoner Faction. Rest assured.”
“I understand all these things…”
This ti, Jing Tai was utterly dumbfounded.
Upper-level orders, eliminating the organization, the Commoner Faction… Jiang Cheng had all the keywords correct. Could it be… Jiang Cheng is indeed one of us?
But… how did a noble beco one of us?
Thinking this, Jing Tai’s mind started working overti.
After a mont, a thought jolted him as he recalled recent changes in the Jiang Family:
Recently, the Jiang Family’s prodigy, after ten years of dormancy, had finally re-erged! And upon erging, he had leaped across the entire Great Realm of Spirit Ascension, reaching the Yang Transformation stage! Even after entering the Yang Transformation stage, he advanced rapidly, soon coalescing an embryonic form of a divine image!
It’s rumored that the ailing ancestor of the Jiang Family personally t him and appointed him as the next Family Head, hoping he would inherit the mantle of a Demigod.
This was all normal information. But! This prodigy wasn’t Jiang Cheng’s father’s child, but his uncle’s child. So… after this prodigy was appointed, it ant that Jiang Cheng’s line was likely going to be excluded from the core of the Jiang Family.
Therefore… Jiang Cheng and even his father betrayed because of this? Joined the Commoner Faction?
Thinking this, everything seed to make sense to Jing Tai.
He felt it was the only explanation for why Jiang Cheng knew so many detailed plans.
With this thought, Jing Tai wanted to inquire about Jiang Cheng’s process of joining the Commoner Faction but felt it would be overstepping since such matters are high-level secrets, likely filled with intrigue and power plays. As such, he ultimately held his tongue.
While he was pondering this, Jiang Cheng, seemingly at ease, asked, “By the way, when are we taking action?”
Jing Tai hesitated briefly but finally responded slowly, “Tomorrow night.”
Jiang Cheng nodded understandingly, then said, “Then take care over the next few days. Just call when the ti cos.”
Jing Tai: ….
Jing Tai wanted to refuse, but the conversation had co so far that further rejection would be impolite, so he finally nodded…
Jiang Cheng didn’t notice Jing Tai’s hesitation. From his perspective, his companion was just being overly cautious.
So after the female officer brought the tea, they refrained from talking further about the matter, shifting the topic instead. Sipping tea, they discussed the work in Jade City.
Jiang Cheng also patted his chest, promising Jing Tai that his task in Jade City (the Flower God Festival) was completed, so whatever Jing Tai wanted to do next, he should go full ahead; Jiang Cheng would fully support him!
This greatly lifted Jing Tai’s spirits. The First Commissioner’s support ant he could proceed with many of his plans.
As for the plan to eliminate the Demonic Cult the next night…
He would personally attend, along with Gu Qing, Xun Yi, the Federal Defense Team officers, and other Commoner Faction leaders. There shouldn’t be any problems.
Jiang Cheng couldn’t override all of them and give a counter-order, could he? That would be openly antagonizing the Commoner Faction. What would he stand to gain?
Thinking this, Jing Tai’s heart settled down…
…..
Evening.
After a busy day, Jiang Cheng left work.
He led his entourage, including his attendants, female officer, and steward, leaving the administrative hall grandly, returning to his villa to enjoy the nightlife of Jade City.
