Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 439: Qing Family Meeting

The study materials from the Guardians' Union were personally compiled by Qing Chen in two days after returning to Luo City, with Yang Yang assisting him.

It can be said that it is a very detailed set of learning materials, enough for the Home Families to study for several days.

Qing Chen sat in his office at midnight and received a message from Luo Wanya.

When he saw that the Guardians' Union had captured the Cardinal in Red, he couldn't help but be surprised.

When he saw that Qin Shuli had also become a member of the family, he couldn't help but ponder a question.

If one day Qin Shuli were to come see him, and others asked him what he was doing, and he said "seeing the Leader," wouldn't it be a little awkward…

So it's best not to meet.

Qing Chen glanced at the brightly lit large office. He felt a little strange. Qing Zhun, who usually came to deliver late-night snacks whenever he worked overtime, had suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, the huge Ginkgo Garden was brightly lit.

Just like the Li Clan's Mountain Estate in City 18, the Ginkgo Garden in City 5 is also the center of power for the Qing Family. City 5 is also known as Mountain City. The entire city is uneven, with winding mountain roads. A river rushes through the city, and the buildings on both sides are like niches built into the mountain, illuminated by bright and dense lights.

People often say that when you arrive in City 5, you must never follow the map, because as you walk, you will find that there is no road ahead, and the building you are looking for may be on the opposite side of the rooftop where you are, and between you and that building is a gap.

Ginkgo Garden is located on a high mountain in the city, halfway up the mountain.

Seen from afar in the city, it looks like a group of buildings in the sky.

In a certain conference room, thirteen Qing Family leaders from various factions sat quietly, without speaking to each other, each with their own thoughts.

At this time, in the corner of the conference room, a Shadow Gate opened.

The moment the door opened, the conference room was plunged into darkness.

The Qing Family Shadow who walked out of the door sat leisurely in the chairman's seat: "Where's the Boss? Why isn't the Boss presiding over the meeting? Cultivating all day, wanting to live forever? His Cultivation talent isn't that good."

The leaders in the seats seemed to have long been accustomed to this way of holding meetings in the dark.

But the atmosphere was different this time.

One of them calmly said: "From the perspective of family status, you, as a Shadow, should not be so disrespectful to the family head. From the perspective of kinship, you, as a son, should not say such things about your father. There should still be rules."

Shadow chuckled: "If you want to attack me from this aspect, then save it. Let's talk about business. Thirteen Qing Family Chairman's Board directors have gathered this time. What do you want to discuss?

A middle-aged man sitting to his right said: "Why go to such great lengths to deal with Qing Mu? He is now a vegetable. Staying in the North can actually boost morale. The Federation civil war will happen again soon. You, as Shadow, should also be very clear about how to choose in the Face[-] of family interests."

Shadow laughed: "Can't you guys have some backbone? Qing Mu has given so much to the family. Even if he dies, he should die in his own home."

"Then why didn't you do this earlier, but only now?" someone questioned: "I suspect that you are just trying to use Intelligence Bureau One and the excuse of dealing with Qing Mu to attack members within the family and eliminate dissidents. Intelligence Bureau One recently arrested more than ten important figures from the Qing Family. Why haven't they been released?"

Shadow said slowly: "Because the interests these ten important figures have gained from the Federation have not benefited the family, they have only gone into the pockets of certain individuals. I can understand that each faction wants to fight for their own interests, and this time they even want to support a martial arts fanatic to become Shadow. This is probably the disease of a large family. But don't forget, there is a family, and then there is you."

The atmosphere in the conference room was so depressing that all the faction leaders present subconsciously held their breath.

Shadow said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous. I know that some of you have some thoughts in the Shadow Succession, but the Shadow Succession has always been like this. It's up to you who you want to support. I'm just reminding you that although the Conglomerate has a deep foundation, it may not necessarily be able to withstand the pressure, so don't always make stupid choices for the sake of immediate interests."

A middle-aged woman at the end of the long table said: "Then what about you using Intelligence Bureau One to support Qing Yi? Qing Yi is still young. How can he become a qualified Shadow? Or is there something else going on here, but you just don't want to tell us?"

On the long table, Qing Yi's father suddenly spoke: "Old woman with long hair and short vision, why can't my son be Shadow? Each of you secretly supports your own candidate, and I haven't even made a move yet. I've already told Qing Yi that if he can be Shadow, he can be. If not, he can honestly go back to City 5. In this aspect, I'm a hundred times better than you. Don't let me find out that anyone is using dirty methods to deal with my son. If he dies, I'll blame every one of you present."

The atmosphere in the conference room became awkward.

Everyone silently thought that Qing Yi's father, Qingqiu, was always a reckless person. It's fine to question Shadow, but why did you have to bring this reckless person up?

Shadow laughed: "Very good. Originally, I didn't plan to attend this meeting, but thinking that the Shadow Succession will be very interesting, I came to watch you guys quarrel. Quarrel, keep quarreling."

In the Federation, Shadow always sees literary works portraying high-ranking officials as profound and unfathomable, saying that even a single word can be analyzed in ten different ways.

However, he is very clear that these so-called high-ranking officials are not like that; each person's character and temperament are different.

The only thing in common is that everyone knows their own interests and positions.

Now that Qing Yi's father, Qingqiu, has scolded that woman, but if one day the other party also supports Qing Yi, Qingqiu will quickly become good friends with the other party, like close siblings.

The wisdom of the big shots varies, but their shamelessness and thick-skinnedness when facing interests are basically the same.

At this time, one person looked at Shadow: "We request that Qing Chen be transferred to another place. Don't let him continue to stay in such a key position in Intelligence Bureau One. I recommend Qing Shu."

Shadow smiled and looked at him: "Is this position so key? Then how come it's been vacant for more than half a year, and no one wants to go? You see that Qing Chen has taken care of the other few families, and the Qing Family has hope of running for the next director of the Central Intelligence Agency, so you want to pick the fruit, right?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and someone said: "By the way, this Qing Chen has the same name as the ninth Shadow Candidate, could there be a relationship? Others don't know about this ninth Shadow Candidate, but we do."

Shadow asked back: "Surely you have investigated countless times. Do you still need to ask me about this?"

"His information has no problems, but precisely because there are no problems, we think there is a problem. There are many people with the same name in the family. There are two people named Qingqiu, and six people named Qingyun, but the Shadow Candidate is such a crucial figure, so it is normal for us to think more when we encounter the same name," someone said.

"If you think there's a problem, then there's a problem. To me, as long as this person is useful, I don't care who he shares a name with," Shadow laughed.

The leaders saw that Shadow was so frank that they didn't know what to say for a while.

And this Shadow Master didn't seem to mind putting Qing Chen in danger.

Shadow continued: "Qing Chen's position in Intelligence Bureau One is something he has worked hard to earn. If any of you think you can pick this fruit, then try... anyway, it's him and you who will suffer, not me."

A middle-aged man said: "We demand that he release the Qing Family members. That's alright, right?"

Shadow raised his eyebrows: "You should go and tell him that, why tell me? You want to put pressure on him... Oh, I understand, he's now going to take Qing Mu home, and the entire intelligence system owes him a favor, so you don't want to offend the entire Qing Family intelligence system directly? Then why tell me? Aren't you afraid of offending me?"

Actually, the leaders could see that Shadow wanted to promote Qing Chen, to make him the head of the Secret Spy Agency.

The reason they targeted Qing Chen was not because they were certain that Qing Chen was the Shadow Candidate.

The name Qing Chen is very special in the Federation, but within the more than 100,000 people in the Qing Family, it is not uncommon.

In the history of the Qing Family, a total of 21 people have been called this name, and there is even a collateral relative who is also called Qing Chen.

After checking the information, they were not sure if the ninth Shadow Candidate was really dead.

But the key issue is that they don't want the next head of the Secret Spy Agency to be this Shadow's person. freewёbnoνel.com

The current Shadow is too strong, and he has created a lot of psychological shadows for everyone.

After Shadow finished speaking, he stood up and sneered: "I know some of you have gone to complain to the Old Master, but I'm back to tell you that it's useless. I won't be Shadow for too long, at least one year, at most two years. If you want to do anything, wait until I step down. Now, the Old Master knows that I don't have many years left to live, and even he doesn't provoke me, what are you?"

Shadow's voice was cold: "Over the years, haven't I dealt with you enough? Do you need me to help you recall some memories?

The Qing Family system is a system of family head and Shadow.

The Shadow and the family head have natural authority within the family. The intelligence system belongs to the Shadow, and the Shadow also has his own direct troops, controlling the internal supervisory power.

These Qing Family leaders are feudal lords outside, but they are not qualified to challenge the Shadow's authority.

The current Shadow, because his lifespan is nearing its end, doesn't even want to say polite words.

He wants to give the Qing Family system's hearts to Qing Chen, to make Qing Chen the head of the Qing Clan Secret Intelligence Agency, and no one can stop him.

Shadow opened the Shadow Gate and said before leaving: "After I die, you can dig me out of the ground, but now, I advise you not to be too jumpy. One year is enough for me to do many things. Of course, I know that some of you will not be able to help yourselves, and even several people will join forces. If you think that several people together can do something, then try."
