Chen Che smiled gently, kissed An Nishang's red lips, and after savoring her fragrance a little, stretched lazily and said, "Nishang, don't rush into getting angry, I'm here for you."

An Nishang's final anger eventually subsided. According to what Chen Che told her, she remained inactive during these days.

She didn't take any drastic actions, stayed in her position as Deputy Director, and did what she was supposed to do.

...

Council Hall.

Vazmir received an alert from his subordinates' surveillance and let out a long sigh.

He turned his head to the council members and said, "Everyone, the method you proposed is not working. She is also growing. She didn't lose her rationality in anger as you said."

A silence fell among the council members.

Councilman Zhao Leiting took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I said from the beginning, your method is a mess, treating the symptoms but not the cause, and it's easy to provoke Yan Chong.

As far as I know, Yan Chong is extremely dissatisfied with the council's decision. It's feared that he will act soon."

Councilman Claidine, associated with the Tasting Commerce Association, proposed this expedient plan, and upon hearing Zhao Leiting's mockery, Claidine's voice was somewhat sharp:

"But back at the meeting, none of you could make up your minds, and this issue was everyone's decision. If there's trouble, I say we all take the blame."

Councilman Andemon, affiliated with the Night Empire, supported his chin with his hands, and his eyes reflected light, making it unclear what kind of look was under the glasses, said in a deep voice, "This isn't like An Nishang's character. It seems like she's doing nothing and accepting the council's arrangement, but in fact, it's retreating to advance, waiting for Yan Chong to make a move.

More impatient than her is Yan Chong!

Once Yan Chong makes a move, she will surely cooperate with him..."

The council's original idea was that after such a great loss for the security forces, they actually wanted to support Bode to the position of Director.

To make the fight between the two more intense.

But it was agreed from the start that whoever settled with the Apocalypse Society would sit on the Director's seat.

Now, if the Special Operations Department succeeds in supporting Bode afterward, the entire council would definitely lose public support.

So they came up with this last resort expedient, originally based on everyone's assumption that with An Nishang's character, she is not someone who would sit idly by. She would certainly take action to get herself on the Director's seat faster.

As long as An Nishang acts, the council will have a chance to catch An Nishang's mistakes or weaknesses, and once such an opportunity arises, the council would forcibly support Bode's ascension.

Bode definitely cannot hold down the entire Special Operations Department, but as long as Bode sits on the Director's seat, he has more capital to fight with An Nishang.

By then, the council will have more room to maneuver.

They might even control Bode as a puppet, allowing the council to penetrate the Judicial Bureau and thus gain control over it.

The Political Bureau is a department deeply controlled by the council.

Neither the Judicial Bureau nor the Finance Bureau falls under this control.

To strengthen centralization, the council has to grasp the power in its own hands.

The idea was good, but unfortunately, this time An Nishang isn't taking the bait.

This actually surprised the council members, as this wasn't the An Nishang they knew.

Councilman Robbie chuckled darkly, saying, "If it were before, An Nishang might have fallen into this trap, but now An Nishang has new talent by her side."

Everyone looked at Robbie, and Vazmir narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you talking about... the Mr. Chen by Director An's side?"

Robbie nodded and said softly, "Everyone mocks him as a pretty face who survives on a woman's favor. Perhaps he was before, but suddenly, this man had an epiphany.

Previously, there were many capable people around An Nishang, but not many strategists. However, this man called Chen Che around An Nishang can definitely be considered a top strategist.

Everyone, please don't doubt my words. A series of major events have occurred recently in the Ninth Special Zone, and which one is not related to this person?

Not long ago, the security forces, our Tasting Commerce Association's armed team, and the Apocalypse Society had a skirmish, causing losses on all sides, with only the Special Operations Department gaining benefits alone.

Do you believe no one planned this behind the scenes?

The previous Special Operations Department had no one with such a strategic mind.

I can clearly tell you, according to our association's intelligence, the one plotting all this in the background is that pretty boy named Chen Che."

"People say he thrived under An Nishang's light, living off her favor, but in my view, these days if An Nishang didn't have him, she would have been weakened by us long ago!"

Councilman Huo Yuanting played with a pen in his hand and said with interest, "I've heard this name before, always associated with An Nishang. The most gorgeous woman in the Ninth Special Zone favored an incompetent pretty boy.

Rumor has it, he's capable of being the axle to keep the wheel turning, which is why he's favored by An Nishang.

Many secretly defame her, claiming that An Nishang, this cold, stunning femme fatale, is actually so licentious behind closed doors, behaving wildly.

For Chen Che, he was merely an adjunct, and no one cared.

But now, it's the entire Ninth Special Zone that has been proven wrong. How can this man be incapable... what An Nishang values isn't his ability in bed. We're the shallow ones."

"If he was previously just hiding his abilities, letting us lower our guard, then summoning three demons is starting to reveal his uniqueness.
