CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 256: BACKLASH
Chen Che looked up at Luo Qingtian in front of him and said with a smile, "Director Luo, it’s quite unexpected that you have something to discuss with me."
Luo Qingtian squinted at Chen Che and said, "To be blunt, Chief Chen, the conflict of interest between us isn’t that significant. I was transferred here from the Night Empire Headquarters.
Ultimately, I won’t be putting down roots in the Ninth Special Zone. Once I’ve achieved the merits I’m after, I’ll naturally return to the Night Empire Headquarters.
So there’s no particularly big conflict of interest between us.
Therefore, I think we can completely discuss a business deal, Chief Chen."
"Oh? Talking business with me, that’s interesting. I wonder what kind of business Director Luo wants to discuss."
"Chief Chen, are you willing to give up everything you have now? Status, money, and everything you’ve painstakingly built.
Just to hand it over and let it be taken by the Council, I think any normal person would be unwilling, right?"
"And I can find a way to help you keep everything you currently have, maintain your Baron status, and even help you become the Director of the Judicial Bureau. I can even leave you with a political force strong enough to oppose the Council.
You might even be able to take the position of President of the Ninth Special Zone Council.
Truly one step to the top, becoming a Feudal Governor.
Chief Chen, doesn’t the offer I’m making show enough sincerity and temptation?"
"Interesting, Director Luo is offering such a sincere condition, indeed it’s tempting. I wonder what director Luo wants in return?"
"What I want is simple. Everyone knows about the relationship between Chief Chen and Director An. I need you to shift everything you’ve done in the Ninth Special Zone onto Director An.
Your smuggling routes, your illegal activities.
All pinned on An Nishang, let An Nishang take the fall for you, and you’ll naturally regain control of these powers.
What do you think?"
Chen Che suddenly realized, smiling, "I see, you’ve been waiting for me here, huh? Director Luo, you’ve got a truly dark heart.
You want me to stab my boss in the back and burden her with these trumped-up charges, so the Night Empire Headquarters can use those charges to trap my boss, making it impossible for her to return to the Ninth Special Zone.
So they can legitimally strip her of various positions, so they can legitimately take action against a Law Execution Officer, so they can legitimately turn her into a pet of the royal family, royal property, right?"
Luo Qingtian’s eyes flickered as he said, "Chief Chen, it seems you understand that this proposal is beneficial to both of us."
Chen Che sneered, saying, "But why do you think I would betray my boss? Why would I betray my boss?
The reason I’ve survived this bizarre world and made it this far is all because of her. I’m not that ungrateful.
I often get backstabbed by my boss, and I quite enjoy backstabbing her too, but the backstabs I give are completely different from the ones you want me to give."
Hearing these words, a cold smile appeared on Luo Qingtian’s face, who said, "Chief Chen, do you still have any optimistic illusions that An Nishang can return?
If An Nishang really had a chance to come back, would the entire Council be so brazenly devouring everything she left behind?"
"I’ll tell you the truth, An Nishang’s return is already a trap. The entire royal family has set their sights on her and has prepared targeted poisons that can seal her abilities.
She might even be lying in some bed right now, letting the plotting Eldest Prince have his way with her.
You need to think carefully. If you betray her now, you can save the Eldest Prince some trouble. For the Eldest Prince, completely controlling this woman is his current goal.
As long as you betray her, the Eldest Prince can completely control An Nishang, and you can regain everything you had.
Wouldn’t it be a win-win for everyone?
And it’s just a woman. Once you have power and status, what kind of woman can’t you have?
An Nishang, though precious and rare, once you agree, will you ever lack anything? Even if the quality lacks, just make it up in quantity.
But you should think carefully, if you refuse, you will gain nothing, have nothing.
And even if you refuse, you can’t save her.
With the Eldest Prince’s ability, it’s just a bit more trouble, a bit more time.
Chief Chen, you’d better carefully consider this matter."
Luo Qingtian half-threatened, half-invited, any normal person could hear what this guy’s words meant.
Indeed, now Chen Che’s best option is undoubtedly to betray An Nishang.
Chen Che suddenly burst into laughter.
"Good, good.
No wonder it’s the dirty game of politics.
Betrayals and conspiracies come just like that.
Simply wonderful, wonderfully unparalleled.
Bravo, truly bravo."
Luo Qingtian saw the smile on Chen Che’s face and thought he agreed, but then watched Chen Che turn his back and walk away, raising a straight middle finger behind him.
Luo Qingtian’s face changed suddenly, shouting, "Chen Che, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Chen Che curved his lips into a cold smile, saying, "Director Luo, let me give you a friendly reminder, the real game is just beginning!"
"Let’s play, damn it, let’s play to the hilt."
Luo Qingtian suddenly looked up, damn it, what does this guy mean? Could it be he has some other card to play?
