Master Head of the Dragon Soul

Chapter 774 The Wise Lord

"I heard that Chu Tianxiong's 'God of War' has arrived in Xi Ye. And he's even conducting some 'undercover investigations', ha ha."

Wu Zhenguo calmly sat on the grandmaster chair, picked up a cup of tea, and gestured for Guan Ping An to sit down.

He thoughtfully said, "That Chen FengXing under him has been investigating the corruption in Xi Ye. During this time, he has arrested quite a few of our people and cut off many sources of wealth."

"He's just a young and arrogant dude who doesn't know the extent of his ignorance. He can't make any significant impact and doesn't have the qualifications to shake the foundation of my lord."

Guan Ping An, flattered with a respectful face, quickly bent his waist and handed Wu Zhenguo a bag of dried tobacco.

With a history spanning over three hundred years, the Wu family remained unshakable like the towering Mount Tai, regardless of the changes in dynasties or the rotation of generals.

The Wu family's residence, Pingxi Lord's residence, had always been unshakable with his strong army.

Therefore, Guan Ping An hesitated for a long time between Chu Feng and Wu Zhenguo.

In the end, compared to the God of War, who always remained unseen and was ruthless, Lord Ping Xi was more reliable.

So he reached out to Wu Zhenguo and became the Wu family's tool in Xi Ye, making a lot of money.

Wu Zhenguo also smiled and spoke with arrogance in his words: "Young people always think that with their passion, they can achieve great things."

"However, the political situation is ever-changing, something they can never truly understand." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"You're right, my lord," Guan Ping An replied in a low voice. He said solemnly, "The people they have arrested these days are nothing important; at most, they are the scapegoats. Our core figures are completely untouched."

"But there is one person, Shen Wanqian, who has been quite arrogant recently. He organized a charity gala and invited more than ten business tycoons from the Xi Bei region, raising three hundred billion in military funds and leading the way in donating military supplies to the frontline forces in Xi Ye."

"And he bypassed our logistics department and delivered directly to the frontline troops."

"Hmm? Is that so?"

Wu Zhenguo's eyes lit up when he heard the mention of 'three hundred billion' funds, but his eyebrows furrowed instantly when he heard about bypassing the logistics department and delivering directly to the frontline.

After many years of operation, the Wu family had complete control over the logistics department.

Any funds or military supplies sent to the army must go through the Wu family. They first deduct seventy percent, and then, after being skimmed by layers of intermediaries, the remaining thirty percent finally reaches the frontline soldiers' hands.

Now, Shen Wanqian's actions not only cut off the Wu family's source of wealth but also have a high possibility of exposing the Wu family's embezzlement and withholding of military pay to the outside world. This would get out of control.

Guan Ping An whispered, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "Yes, I have already sent many people to warn Shen Wanqian and even used assassins and underground forces."

"I didn't expect this old man to be fearless and lucky enough to have the support of the military. It's no longer possible to take covert actions against him."

Wu Zhenguo held his pipe and exhaled smoke. "If we can't use underhanded methods, then let's use legitimate ones."

"Isn't Shen Wanqian organizing a charity gala? You should go there, come up with a few excuses, and arrest all these troublemakers."

"Then tell them that if they want to donate money or goods to the frontline, it's fine, but they must specify that it goes to the Fengdu Camp. Only then will we release them."

Guan Ping An's eyes lit up, and he smiled. "Your Highness is wise!"

The Fengdu Camp was under the command of Wu Yinglong. If that batch of military supplies falls into his hands, it will ultimately end up in the hands of the Wu family.
