Full-time King

Chapter 2233: Long-term Planning (Part )

On the other end of the phone, Mayor Chen hung up and said to Chen Yajie, who was staring at him without blinking, "My dear daughter, you can rest assured now."

"You bastard Ling Feng, you didn't even bother calling me, but only called me, Dad. You just sent me a text message."

Chen Yajie held the phone in her hand, expressing her dissatisfaction, but she involuntarily let out a long sigh of relief.

"Dad, do you think this matter has anything to do with him?" Chen Yajie was still worried and wanted to get an answer from her father.

Mayor Chen shook his head in his heart. His daughter was quite smart and had an impetuous personality, just like a tomboy.

But when it comes to Ling Feng, her usual smartness completely disappears, and her decisiveness is no longer visible. The word "worrying about gains and losses" is just right for her. I don't know whether this matter is good or bad for her.

If Ling Feng was a devoted man, it would be fine. His precious girl would not suffer any loss under his care. But Ling Feng was a playboy, which made Mayor Chen even more worried.

Mayor Chen had thought about using his privileges to tie Ling Feng to his daughter, but he gave up the idea when he learned that Ling Feng was an ancient warrior.

"My dear daughter, tell me how much trouble this bastard has caused since you met Ling Feng? I am sure that this matter is 100% related to him."

Mayor Chen said expressionlessly.

Chen Yajie jumped up suddenly: "Then he is in danger. The task force said that he is under personal protection. Isn't this equivalent to surveillance in disguise? Although Ling Feng is smart, those people are veterans in handling cases. If they are not careful, they will reveal their flaws. No, I have to send a message to Ling Feng to remind him."

"What message are you sending..." Mayor Chen snatched Chen Yajie's phone away.

"dad……"

Chen Yajie stretched out her voice and looked at Mayor Chen with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I understand. When we were on the phone just now, you said that you would use your official hat to guarantee that Ling Feng would be fine. If Ling Feng had any problems, you would definitely be the first to suffer..."

Chen Yajie spoke without thinking, and Mayor Chen was so angry that he pointed his finger at her and trembled.

"Girls are really not worth keeping when they grow up. Daughter, think about it. Since he is already under surveillance, is it possible that his phone is also monitored? Once you send a text message, he will reveal everything. You are a police officer, and you have forgotten the most common methods used by police officers to deal with criminals?"

Mayor Chen looked at his daughter with a look of disappointment. He was quite sad when he thought that the daughter he had raised for more than 20 years would say such words because of a bastard boy.

Fortunately, both of them were in the study, and Chen Yajie's mother never got involved in her husband's official affairs, otherwise Mayor Chen would have lost all face.

"Um... Dad, I was too anxious..." Chen Yajie reacted at this time and said embarrassedly.

"Think about it with your police mind, is Ling Feng in danger?"

Mayor Chen glared at Chen Yajie in a rather childish manner, his usual calmness and composure disappeared completely. At this moment, he looked like a child competing with Ling Feng for favor.

Chen Yajie took a deep breath, sat on the sofa, and began to think carefully.

She was able to become a police officer, in addition to her father's connections, because her subordinates were quite capable. Although she was not as good as an elite in the industry like Li Han, she was not much different from an ordinary criminal police officer.

"With Ling Feng's skills, there won't be any problem with safety. If there is a problem, it can only be that Qin Xiaoshuang is caught, and Ling Feng will choose to surrender. Damn Qin Xiaoshuang, why is she following Ling Feng around and causing trouble at this time?"

Chen Yajie thought of this possibility and scratched her hair in annoyance. Fortunately, she had short hair that was elegant and graceful, so it wasn't so messy that she couldn't be seen in public.

"My daughter, you have to stay calm. Ling Feng is not stupid. You can see that the girl is his weakness, so how could Ling Feng not know? He must have a perfect way to ensure the safety of both of them, so that he would go to the capital together."

Mayor Chen looked at Chen Yajie angrily, feeling somewhat conflicted. He was the mayor's daughter, and that man wanted to be his son-in-law. He should have treated his daughter as a treasure in his hand, holding her in his mouth for fear that she would melt and hurt. But he chose a bastard like Ling Feng. Not only did he have his daughter, he also hooked up with other girls.

What made Mayor Chen even more angry was that his own daughter couldn't jump out of the fire pit.

"The members of the task force are all veterans in solving cases. It's not time to reap the spoils yet. Since it's a disguised surveillance, they haven't found any evidence yet. As long as Ling Feng doesn't have any problems with his words, he should be safe. By the way, Dad, I thought of something. Can you explain it to me?"

Chen Yajie suddenly thought of another question and looked at her father with burning eyes.

"You said."

"Father, since you knew that Ling Feng must have problems, why did you say that you would use your official position to guarantee that he would be fine?"

Chen Yajie frowned and asked. This was really unreasonable. Her father had already confirmed that she had a relationship with Ling Feng, but he still said such a thing. It was weird no matter how you looked at it.

"I have my reasons for doing this. Don't worry about it." Mayor Chen said unnaturally, subconsciously avoiding his daughter's sight.

Although he is an old fox, he has all the political skills and can keep a straight face or make excuses. But at the same time, he is also a father who loves his daughter deeply and does not want to lie to her.

"Dad, I want to know."

Chen Yajie refused to give in and looked at Mayor Chen.

Mayor Chen was silent for a while, and his voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "Do you really want to know?"

"Ah."

Chen Yajie nodded vigorously.

"Then I'll tell you, I actually want to find a backer who is supported by a hidden ancient martial arts sect, and tie myself to the chariot of the ancient martial arts sect behind Ling Feng. This is my reason."

Chen Yajie looked at her father in confusion and shook her head: "Dad, I don't understand. Although I don't know how powerful the hidden sect is, I know that between a mayor and a mayor who lost his job, the former is definitely more useful. Even if you get on this chariot, it will not be of any benefit to you if Ling Feng gets you involved."

Mayor Chen smiled after hearing what Chen Yajie said: "Sure enough, my daughter still stands by me."

Looking at her father's smug look, Chen Yajie burst out laughing.

"Dad...you definitely wouldn't do anything useless, right? Can you tell me why you do this?"

After saying that, Chen Yajie kept shaking Mayor Chen's arm like a spoiled child.

"Stop shaking, stop shaking. If you keep shaking, my old bones will be shaken apart." Mayor Chen smiled and rubbed Chen Yajie's hair.

Chen Yajie said obediently: "Dad is not old, he is just over 40, and his health is better than those young men."

"Haha, my daughter, you, you..."

Mayor Chen touched Chen Yajie's forehead with his hand, smiling and shaking his head.

"Okay, I'll tell you. You should know that there are still more than three months before the general election, right?"

"Yes, I know. But what does this have to do with Ling Feng?"

Chen Yajie really didn't understand this time. She didn't expect her father's leaps of thought would be so wide-ranging.

"Of course it does matter. It's a pretty big deal!"

Mayor Chen had to say it for sure. Seeing that Chen Yajie really didn't understand, he said slowly: "This was something I met after I met Ling Feng. I met a boss named Sun Youwei, and he told me. He said he was Ling Feng's uncle. You should know this person, right?"

Chen Yajie nodded: "I know him, he is indeed Ling Feng's uncle, could he be related to him?"

"Yes, that's right. He told me that Ling Feng will participate in the newcomer league competition held by the hidden sect. This competition is related to the domestic political landscape in the next few years. If Ling Feng can get a good ranking, then the interest group he represents can get a considerable part of the political benefits. Do you understand now?"

"Ah? So that's it!"

Chen Yajie looked at her father in shock, she had never imagined that a competition between a hidden sect of ancient martial artists would involve such a big issue.

"Of course, otherwise why would those hidden sects of ancient warriors come from all over to participate in this competition? You know, they are different from ordinary people, and strength is what they value most. People from hidden sects are not all immortals who are out of touch with the world. Of course, they also need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and they also need rare treasures to supply them for cultivation. So if I go over now, as long as Ling Feng gets a good ranking, I will definitely be able to go further."

Mayor Chen explained the whole thing clearly, and Chen Yajie finally understood it.

"Why didn't Ling Feng tell me about this?"

Chen Yajie's mind flashed with Ling Feng's somewhat hateful smile, and she said with some dissatisfaction. If it hadn't come from his father's mouth, she really wouldn't have known about this. She only knew that Ling Feng was going to participate in the Rookie League Tournament, and Ling Feng didn't tell him anything about the rewards for the competition.

"You can't blame Ling Feng for this. Maybe Ling Feng himself doesn't know. The real ancient warriors of the hidden sects don't care much about these things. All matters such as money are handled by the outer sect managers. If Sun Youwei hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought that there was such a huge fog behind the political games. No wonder the secretary of the Peidu Municipal Party Committee a few years ago was suddenly taken down without any warning and thrown into prison. People in my system are confused. Thinking about it this way, it should be the ancient warriors of the hidden sect behind him who lost."

"Dad, you are so cunning... Doesn't their sect have its own political spokesperson? Can it be your turn?"

Chen Yajie gave her father a thumbs up. This plan seemed to Chen Yajie to be sound and would not harm Ling Feng's interests. Her father was likely to make further progress. Of course, she was happy to see it come to fruition.

"Ling Feng should have told you that his sect is very small, so small that it only has commercial spokespersons and political spokespersons, who are only a few cats and dogs. After all, his father is a department-level cadre with a very clean background. He also has your relationship with him, so he is a reliable person. Therefore, when Sun Youwei revealed this to me, it meant that he fully supported me."

Mayor Chen had a hint of smile in his eyes. He had always been troubled that he did not have any backing. Even if he made achievements, it would be very difficult to get promoted. If he had the support of a hidden sect, it would be different.

"Dad...I want to go to the capital."

Chen Yajie hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke firmly.

Mayor Chen was surprised: "My dear daughter, what are you doing in the capital?"

"Let's go to Ling Feng. The members of the task force are all veterans in solving cases. Ling Feng has no experience and will reveal his weakness if he is not careful. I have to go to help him, otherwise I will get further and further away from him..."

Chen Yajie suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart. She had not expected that the power represented by the identity of an ancient warrior was so huge that it could determine the promotion of officials.

"It's not a good idea to go to the capital at this time. There are good and bad ancient warriors. If you run into those playboys, you'll easily suffer."

Mayor Chen shook his head in disagreement. You must be joking. Think about it, that place is like a den of dragons and tigers. Chen Yajie is the apple of his eye. If she goes there, she will suffer a loss and won’t even be able to get justice.

"Dad, I will call Ling Feng when I get there. You don't have to worry since Ling Feng is around." Chen Yajie had already thought of a plan to deal with the situation.

"Well, well, he's in a lot of trouble right now. If you go now, won't you cause him trouble?"

Mayor Chen was very reluctant to let Chen Yajie go to the capital at this time and get in touch with that huge and mysterious circle. No matter what happened, Mayor Chen felt powerless. This feeling was very unpleasant for the powerful people in charge of a city.

"If he can guarantee Qin Xiaoshuang's safety, he can guarantee my safety."

There was a gleam of light in Chen Yajie's eyes, and she spoke with a persistent tone, her fists still clenched tightly.

Seeing his daughter had made up her mind, Mayor Chen felt helpless. He knew his daughter too well. When she was taking the college entrance examination, he had intended for her to apply to a prestigious school, but she secretly changed her choice and added a police academy.

"Okay, I'll call Lao Li and pretend I'm on a business trip, armed with a gun. Now call Ling Feng, tomorrow's flight will arrive in the capital in the afternoon, ask him to pick you up at the airport."

Mayor Chen decided to use some of his privileges. The pistol could at least put his worries to rest.

"Thank you dad!"

"You kid, there's really nothing I can do with you!"

Mayor Chen shook his head repeatedly.
