Chapter 516: Sitting Steadfastly on the Diaoyu Islands

very grim and full of killing intent.Li Shiyu sighed and said, "Come on in and sit down."Li Qiang and Li Shan walked in and sat down next to Li Shiyu.Li Shiyu pushed a document in her hand to Li Shan...He walked quickly to a distance of more than one meter from Lao Liu and stopped, Mo Lao respectfully bent over.

"Lao Liu, that kid went to South Africa. I'm afraid..." Lao Mo walked up to Lao Liu and stopped, saying anxiously.

"What are you afraid of Meet force with force, and water with earth. A young man shouldn't scare you like this," Liu said calmly, gazing intently at the lake surface.

Mo Lao clearly froze for a moment, but quickly nodded and said: "Old Liu is right, I was too anxious."

At this time, the float on the lake surface moved slightly, and Lao Liu's face immediately flashed with joy. At the same time, he suddenly threw his fishing rod, and saw a large fish hanging on the hook pulled out of the water surface, struggling painfully in mid-air.

Lao Liu slowly reeled in the fish, taking it off the hook and dropping it into a bucket of water beside him. Then he said, “Today, I order you to steam this fish for me.”

"En." Lao Mo nodded immediately. Liu Lao loved fishing, and he would have the cook prepare any fish he caught.

After taking off the fish, Lao Liu seemed to have lost interest in fishing any further and put away his rod. Looking at the fog rising on the water surface not far away, he said faintly: "As long as you stay seated on the fishing platform, no matter how big a fish is, it can be caught and made into a dish." Having said that, he paused, turned to look at Lao Mo, and suddenly changed his tone, saying in a deep voice: "Lao Mo, what are you afraid of"

Mo Lao Zhang opened his mouth as if he had understood something, then bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Liu Lao, for your guidance."

“Having set up such a large plan and involving so many people, do you really think he can easily investigate this” Liu Lao continued, “Even if he investigates it, what’s the point With his own abilities, how can he possibly be a match for so many people. What about Longya Hmph, no one's individual ability can surpass the power of the national machine.”

Mo Lao stopped talking, but his expression relaxed considerably. He had received news about Ye Fan's trip to South Africa that same day. He was also worried that Ye Fan's investigation in South Africa might expose some things from the Bureau.

"Young people are too impulsive. I heard he even killed the son of the Island Nation San-Kaku Group's chief advisor. And he went and provoked the Qing Gang. He’s made so many enemies, what else is there to fear" Liu Lao let out a cold laugh, then continued.

"I'm afraid of the Ye family…" Mo Lao seemed to have thought of something and said in a low voice.

“Hmph, you think the Ye family is clean What about Chen's boy They're all too young.” Liu Lao stood up from his seat and walked towards a house in the middle of the island. As he walked, he said, “Start making preparations. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. We can also get in touch with some old rivals.”

After saying this, Lao Liu stopped talking and walked straight into the hall...

Lao Mo stood still, silently chewing on Lao Liu's words. Half a while later, his face erupted in wild laughter, and he couldn't help but think to himself: Lao Liu is indeed far-sighted. This time, it is our Mo family's chance to rise again. Thinking of this, he picked up the bucket filled with fish and walked back.

Just as Lao Mo and Lao Liu were conversing, at the Yan Family Mansion in Beijing, a small-scale family meeting was underway.

The current head of the Yan family, and also the third most important figure in the Xia Dynasty, Yan Xiaoti sat in his position as head of the family, listening to a report from a member within the family. With the election approaching, Yan Xiaoti paid close attention to any news or developments within the country, hoping to avoid any mistakes at this crucial juncture.

If he successfully advances to the second position and remains there for another term, Yan Family's influence will continue to expand. Over these five years, some members of the Yan Family can also gain enough power, including supporting his son to enter the top leadership circle, at least as one of the seven.

At the same time, one must also ensure that their disciples are placed in key positions across all states and provinces of the Xia Empire. This will ensure that even after I am gone, the Yan family's influence can remain strong for a long time.

After listening to the report, Yan Xiaoti nodded and said, "This time should be fine. The other families don't have the strength to compete with me. The Chen family is not interested in politics, they probably won't make much progress this session. You guys need to find a way to break Ye family's hold, we can't let them continue to dominate the military."

Those seated below were mostly his sons and grandsons. Hearing his words, they all nodded in agreement. These people, outside, would either be the heads of important departments of the Empire or the top officials of the imperial provinces. They were mostly famous figures who frequently appeared on the silver screen. However, in front of Yan Xiaotei, they could only nod submissively.

After discussing for a while, Yan Xiaoti was ready to end the meeting.

"Grandfather, why are you sending me to that place" Yan Wuque spoke up at this moment.

Listening to the most outstanding person of the Yan family's third generation speak, Yan Xiaoti said with a nod: "This time sending you to this place is also to accumulate achievements and experience. When your father and the others gain real power, your experience will be enough, and it will be much easier to take over from them."

Hearing Grandpa Yan Xiaoti's explanation, Yan Wuque didn't say anything more. The other young members of the Yan family present looked at him with envy. Among their generation, there was more than just Yan Wuque who was outstanding, but Yan Xiaoti only focused on him and cultivated him as the future head of the family.

"Dad, I heard that kid from the Ye family went to South Africa." Yan Hongqing, the youngest son of Yan Xiaoti, spoke up at this time. Yan Hongqing was currently the deputy director of the intelligence bureau in the Yan family, so he naturally knew what had happened these days.

Hearing Yan Hongqing's words, Yan Xiaoti smiled faintly and said, "He is just a reckless young man, nothing to worry about."

At this point, he stood up from his seat, rubbing his temples and said: "Let's disperse. I have a meeting later. All of you go busy yourselves. And remember this, no one is to cause any trouble during this time. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind."

"Understood..." Everyone nodded in response and then, very orderly, walked out of the room.

Only after everyone had left did Yan Xiaote sneer and say, "You little brat from the Ye family, are you trying to cause trouble for your family Humph, this is a perfect opportunity to force the Ye family to give up some of their spoils in the military."

As if he had thought of something, he grinned and then, with his hands behind his back, walked into the inner room.

At this time, Ye Fan, who was far away in South Africa, took a taxi to the door of a coffee shop. As soon as he got out of the car, a man hurried up to him. The man's face was full of excitement and deep gratitude.

"Let's go upstairs and talk." Before the man could speak, Ye Fan strode towards the coffee shop, and the man immediately followed him.'s expression darkened slightly. He let out a long sigh, as if recalling something, and then continued; "This mission, Longya participated alone. As a result, he was quickly surrounded. If it weren't...
