Chapter 839: Chapter 196: When the East Is Dark, the West Is Bright (Part 3)
Old Man Shen’s eyes gleamed fiercely, and he charged head first.
Bang!
A bulging bump rose on Zhao Shanhe’s forehead, turning him into a unicorn.
Embarrassed: "Listen to me!"
While saying this, he hurriedly sealed Old Man Shen’s cultivation, quickly embracing the irritable old man, along with An Ruoxing, and rushed back.
"Merit Department, Human Resources Department... Supervisors, come quickly, together..."
Oh my, finally stopped it.
Almost caused a big incident.
An Ruoxing, exhausted with legs like noodles, gasped for breath, standing on the steps, angrily turned back: "You guys... didn’t even think to help?"
"We don’t even know who’s right or wrong..."
One of the experts said honestly: "Who should we help?"
"..."
An Ruoxing was so angry he almost spat blood, glared fiercely, then hurriedly ran off.
He was truly afraid that without him there, Zhao Shanhe might actually bully Shen Zhixuan.
...
In the office.
Old Man Shen was held by two people, sitting on Zhao Shanhe’s chair, looking at Zhao Shanhe, An Ruoxing, and others from the Merit Department and Human Resources Department...
Then looking at the merit report laid out before him.
Looking at the list of personnel applying for promotion...
Looking at the promotion report specially made for Fang Che...
Then looking at the Guardians Headquarters’ reply, stamped with the big seal...
These were obviously not fake. Not temporary either.
A strange expression appeared on his face: "How can this be? What’s going on here?"
Zhao Shanhe sat in the chair, like a defeated rooster, despondently said: "You understand now? This really isn’t my doing... How could I possibly do such a thing?"
"You can’t do such a thing? You haven’t done little of it either!"
Old Man Shen was seething with anger: "If it weren’t for your past offenses, why would I be bothering you!"
"But now you understand, right?"
Zhao Shanhe felt helpless: "Shouldn’t you be apologizing to me? You’ve wrecked my Southeast Headquarters twice! How do we account for this?"
"..." Old Man Shen was somewhat embarrassed, his eyes shifted, then suddenly enraged: "Is the Headquarters blind or what? Why are they so unfair to my Fang Che?! No way, I need to go to Headquarters! Zhao Shanhe, undo my restriction!"
"Shut up!"
Zhao Shanhe weakly responded: "This is a direct order from Ninth lord, could you possibly stay calm? Ninth lord must have his reasons. Can’t we just wait together?"
"Don’t cause trouble... Can we not cause trouble, Brother?" An Ruoxing also pleaded by the side.
Old Man Shen choked: "Just undo it, dammit..."
A moment later.
The tea leaves were set.
The three of them sat alone in the secret room, Old Man Shen, puzzled, flipping through documents, utterly speechless: "What on earth is going on? How can this be? This is truly infuriating."
Zhao Shanhe sighed, speaking with a tone like his insides were crushed: "I said from the beginning, Fang Che’s identity is a big problem, but you wouldn’t believe it. His past actions as Righteous Young Master Fang always raised suspicions, and his initial mentor Sun Yuan was a Yixin Sect elder... Sigh, you just wouldn’t listen..."
"And this Dream Demon, why did the Dream Demon attack Fang Che instead of anyone else?"
"Is there no reason for this?"
"We submitted the promotion report, and at such a crucial moment, Ninth lord suspects a bit—isn’t that totally normal? Furthermore, Ninth lord has a mind of his own, way beyond ours. Even if there’s another intent, so what? Who in the whole continent brings fairness like Ninth lord?"
"Right? Let’s patiently wait, as long as Fang Che is innocent, he won’t be wronged over time."
"But these suspicions must be clarified."
"Besides, Ninth lord is personally investigating, showing his clear intent to take Fang Che seriously, and prepare to promote him, which is evident to us."
"So you just came at me without distinguishing right from wrong..."
"Is there still any justice in this world!"
Zhao Shanhe felt wronged beyond measure.
This burden, who knows if I will ever shed it in this lifetime? As soon as something happens to Fang Che, it turns into suppression by me! This has practically become a reflex now.
Old Man Shen snorted, furrowed his brow, pondered for a long time.
Finally, unwillingly nodded: "Let’s wait then."
"But the damage to our Southeast Headquarters after your ruckus..." Zhao Shanhe asked.
"What damage?"
Old Man Shen immediately glared: "No money, just my life!"
"Are you messing with me, playing tough?" Zhao Shanhe narrowed his eyes.
As long as you, Shen Zhixuan, are reasonable, I am not afraid.
"Hehehe... Whatever the outcome, it hasn’t been clarified yet. Should future investigations prove you’re behind it, I’d have no choice but to cut you down! And now you’re asking me for losses?"
Old Man Shen responded firmly: "No money!"
"Then compensate after the truth is uncovered!"
"Future business, future talk!"
Old Man Shen stood up, asked An Ruoxing: "What were we discussing earlier? Let’s continue discussing."
He dragged An Ruoxing away, rather forcibly.
Watching the two leave, Zhao Shanhe was furious, slapping the table: "Damn it! Am I still the Chief?"
Bam bam bam bam...
The sound of Zhao Chief’s table-slapping echoed far away.
...
At noon, Fang Che sent a message to Yin Shen Palace: "Master, I woke up."
"It’s good you’re awake."
Yin Shen Palace quickly replied: "How’s your condition now?"
"Still recovering."
"Then take a good rest."
"I’ve been suspended by the Guardians."
Fang Che began to complain.
