Chapter 178: Predicament

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

I don't know if it was intentional or coincidental, The night Lin Xiaocao was tossing and turning with Helian Chenxi, Wang Jinxiu happened to be in the lab to help Lin Danqing with her last few rehabilitative treatments. The royal princess, who was immersed in the laboratory filled with high-tech medical equipment and gene analysis equipment, seemed to really think that it was just Lin Xiaocao who came back late that night. She didn't ask anything about it. After recovering from her laboratory posture, she looked like a sweet and obedient little woman who was smiling around her man.

Lin Xiaocao had the intention to confess, but every time she saw Wang Jinxiu's pure and impurity-free eyes, she couldn't open her mouth. She could only suppress this impulse that he felt was very stupid. These days, she was even more gentle to her.

This was perhaps the smartest part of Wang Jinxiu.

She had already decided on Lin Xiaocao in this lifetime, whether it was the War God King or His Highness the War God. No matter who he was, he was just a man that she was destined to never let go of in this lifetime.

The person she loved deeply was also destined to have a sister that she would never let go of in this lifetime.

If Wang Jinxiu could tacitly acquiesce or temporarily escape from Linglong's existence, she would naturally be smart enough to turn a blind eye to Lin Xiaocao and other women.

All she cared about was how the man she loved would treat her, that's all, always.

Early June.

It had been a week since the last plenary meeting of the Policy Bureau had decided that Zheng Kuangge would be the head of the General Political Department of one of the four headquarters of the Military Headquarters, and Helian Yunteng would be transferred from the Divine Continent Guardian to become the head of the Second General Staff Department.

After that, Lin Xiaocao remained calm. It was as if he was showing off his martial power and dragging the Helian Clan, which was very important in the secret service system, onto the royal family's warship. His life seemed to have completely calmed down.

Everything is moving in the right direction, The general ginseng still had half control over Huang Haotian and Lin Fengxue, The southern faction is hesitating about working with the supreme leader, Rather than hesitating, it was better to say that the southwest faction was forcefully dragging on. The southwest faction once again gave the southern faction a position of Governor-General and two positions of Lieutenant Governor-General. During this time, because the leaders of the southern faction had yet to express their stance, many special forces teams that were originally close to the southwest faction had already begun to contact the southern faction.

The southwestern faction seemed to be unaware of all of this. After the tragic defeat of the Policy Bureau meeting, they became even more silent, as if something was brewing.

Lin Xiaocao also began to play the role of War God King again, meeting frequently with the important members of the King's faction.

Although it seemed calm, Chen Qingyu, who was now the War God King's number one assistant, was keenly aware that something was wrong with Lin Xiaocao.

To be exact, the current War God King's heart was filled with a kind of frenzied anxiety under his calm actions.

This could be seen from his growing addiction to cigarettes and the occasional look in his eyes.

Lin Xiaocao, who didn't smoke much, had been consuming four or five packs of cigarettes a day for the past few days. The annoyance in his eyes was occasionally unconscious. Apart from that, Lin Xiaocao was constantly exchanging views with important members of the royal family and some promising members. Sometimes, he could not even rest for five hours a day, and he was talking with them, including eating time.

The content of the conversation is very broad, is a major proposition, for the cabinet composition and power implementation satisfaction, as well as their own goals in politics.

At the beginning, the conversation was still at the level of the Governor-General and the Lieutenant Governor. However, a few days later, he had already begun to summon the officials at the level of the Governor-General, the Secretary of Actual Power, and even the Deputy Secretary. Lin Xiaocao would talk to them seriously.

Most of the junior officials who met Lin Xiaocao were promising figures. They were young and had a long political life. They were the backbone of the future of the royal family.

Chen Qingyu had been busy arranging Lin Xiaocao's schedule these past few days. As well as recording the conversation, she was so tired that she couldn't even lift her arm for several days, let alone the 18-hour workload of the person involved. Although it was a simple conversation, Lin Xiaocao's complexion was getting paler and paler day by day, but until now, he had no intention of stopping.

"Qing Yu, help me arrange an appointment with Minister Gao Xiangdong of the household registration department. I need to talk to him in three hours."

Lin Xiaocao quietly leaned against the chair in the study room. The luxurious study room was filled with smoke, and everything in the study room seemed to have become somewhat blurry in the smoke.

"Three hours later?"

Chen Qingyu, who seemed not to be allergic to the smell of smoke, was standing behind Lin Xiaocao and stretching out a pair of small hands to massage Lin Xiaocao's head. She was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Minister Gao Xiangdong of the Household Registry?"

Gao Xiangdong.

Minister of Household Affairs, member of the Policy Bureau, one of the leaders of the Southern faction, and the right-hand man of the Prime Minister of the Empire, who now belonged to the Southern faction.

Three hours later, on today's itinerary, Lin Xiaocao was supposed to be talking to another important person from the Wang Clan. That important person was also in the Household Ministry, and he was in a high position. His status was only below Minister Gao Xiangdong.

"Then Minister Liu Yuncheng..."

Chen Qingyu asked tentatively. She had already started to think about how to postpone the meeting between Liu Yuncheng, the First Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Housing, and the War God King.

"Tell him to come with us."

Lin Xiaocao waved his hand.

"Alright."

Although Chen Qingyu was puzzled in her heart, as her deputy, she did not ask much about her awareness of execution. Although the two of them were a bit ambiguous, in serious matters, the two of them were people who did not rub the sand in their eyes.

Now that Chen Qingyu could tell, Lin Xiaocao had met most of the high-ranking officials and promising cadres in the Cabinet during this period of time, At the very least, the cadres who were under the dual leadership of the ruling party's center and cabinet, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Industry, all nominally under the management of the Cabinet, were under the joint management of the highest center of the ruling party and the Cabinet, and the Cabinet could not be regarded as the first rank in terms of strength utilization.

Lin Xiaocao exchanged views with these people tirelessly. At present, the result seemed to be very optimistic, but it was precisely because of this optimism that Lin Xiaocao fell into a bigger mystery or predicament.

How to break the situation next was the key.

Moreover, the reason why Lin Xiaocao received so many optimistic answers was simply because the people he met belonged to the royal family.

Three hours later, Lin Xiaocao's meeting with Minister of Housing Gao Xiangdong was the beginning of Lin Xiaocao's collection of attitudes towards the outside world.

It wasn't even an exaggeration to say that the conversation with Gao Xiangdong of the Ministry of Households would play a crucial role in whether the War God King or even the entire royal family could break through the situation.

This meeting, if successful, would be of far-reaching significance.

Chen Qingyu quickly recorded it in the book. Then, she found the phone book and began to make phone calls. An affectionate and charming voice slowly flowed in the room, finally calming Lin Xiaocao's irritated mind.

"Your Highness, Minister Gao said that he will arrive on time. However, he is in a meeting right now. There is no time for dinner. He hopes to have a working meal with Your Highness, right here."

Chen Qingyu said softly after hanging up the phone.

"Alright, you go arrange the kitchen and collect Minister Gao Xiangdong's preferences. According to his taste, the food will be more sumptuous."

Lin Xiaocao nodded, looked at the clock on the wall, and continued, "Who do you want to see next?"

"Deputy Director Qin of the Development Committee, Director of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry, Deputy Minister of Rites, Secretary-General..."

Chen Qingyu reported softly. Looking at Lin Xiaocao's expressionless face, she couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache in her heart.

Whether it was His Highness the Battle God or the Battle God King, it didn't seem easy to live.

Vaguely, she seemed to understand the reason why Lin Xiaocao had entered and left the Hidden Dragon Sea a few days ago.

Amongst the higher-ups of the royal faction, the few of them had already reached an agreement. Taking advantage of the current royal faction's imposing aura, they planned to forcefully reshuffle their cards.

What Lin Xiaocao was doing was just a beginning and a test.

Was it worth it to work so hard?

Lin Xiaocao nodded and stood up. He rubbed his face hard and smiled, "Let's go over now."

His face was pale and his expression was exhausted. However, the fierce fighting spirit in his eyes was like a flame. It had not been extinguished these past few days, but had instead become more and more vigorous.

Chen Qingyu stared blankly at the slender and tall figure in front of her. For a moment, she was dumbfounded.
