Chapter 398: Brother Still Loves You
Until the moon was at its zenith and the dinner was over, Li Youchuan was unable to pass the checkpoint at the entrance of the villa area. He returned to the official residence in great frustration and anxiety, and was stopped in front of the Speaker's office by Zhu Pingyu, who was also his assistant.
Zhu Pingyu looked at the tightly closed dark paulownia door and shook his head, telling him not to go in. The atmosphere inside was not very good.
"Father, are we just going to let today's incident go?" Feng Mengduo clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh. Only the pain in her palms could she slightly ease the anger in her heart.
Feng Jingyi sat in a chair, the firelight from the fireplace illuminating half of his face, which was extremely thin.
"Aduo, in the decades that I have been in politics, I have encountered countless things like this. This kind of dispute over personal feelings is the most insignificant and trivial matter that is not worth taking to heart. You have to remember that the most important thing is always who holds the power in the end."
Feng Mengduo didn't say anything, but her clenched fists relaxed a little.
Feng Jingyi said slowly: "There is one thing I haven't had time to tell you. Bu Yuanxun was captured by her in Zhangcheng. He is still detained in the headquarters building of the Guard Army. He will be transferred to the military court for trial soon."
Feng Mengduo was shocked and said, "Bu Yuanxun is the executive officer of Songcheng Base. How dare she?!"
Feng Jingyi chuckled: "Aduo, after these few confrontations, do you think there is anything she would not dare to do?"
Feng Mengduo gritted her teeth: "Father, she——"
Feng Jingyi raised his hand to signal her to calm down: "Aduo, listen to me, other bases, equipment, supplies, military expenses, and food will always need them to bow to the parliament, but Fengcheng and Shuangcheng will not."
"I sent people to Maple City and Frost City to conduct a detailed investigation. The food and light equipment of these two bases are completely self-sufficient. They use modified soil for farming. Although the yield per mu is not much higher than before the apocalypse, the crops mature very quickly, which is more than enough to supply the survivors in the base."
"And I don't know where they got a fully automatic light weapons production line that can produce both ammunition and light artillery. It is said that Frost City is currently recruiting technicians to build a new equipment military factory. Although I don't know what they are going to produce, you should have heard the saying that the truth is only within the range of the cannon."
"She has everything, so she dares to do anything and doesn't need to give face to anyone."
"Also, this afternoon the Security Bureau people took her on a tour of the entire Security Bureau building and showed her her future office."
Feng Mengduo frowned fiercely: "She may not even be able to become the Chief Executive Officer yet, have you arranged an office for her already?"
Feng Jingyi laughed and said, "Yes, it's on the top floor of the Security Bureau building, directly opposite He Shifeng's office in the military department."
"So, A-Duo, I think that even if we support her to be the CEO, she and He Shifeng will not fall out."
Feng Mengduo's eyes were heavy, and she said in a cold voice: "Forget it, father. I just wanted to take this opportunity to dissolve her alliance with He Shifeng. Since they have reached some kind of agreement in private, the position of chief executive officer must not fall into their hands."
"I have the same idea as you, but Aduo, our original plan was to exclude Shuangcheng from the top ten bases first, so that she can only get votes from Fengcheng. Then let Bu Yuanxun take over Zhangcheng Base and win the votes from Songcheng and Zhangcheng Bases. With our votes in the parliament, we can support Bu Yuanxun as the executive director."
"But I didn't expect that something unexpected happened in Zhangcheng. Bu Yuanxun's move can no longer be used. Now, it's hard to say whether Zhangcheng's votes will fall into her hands or Li Fanbo's. But the group of people controlled by He Shifeng in the parliament will most likely support her, so the position of Chief Executive Officer will eventually fall on her head."
Feng Mengduo sneered in silence, "Father, I really don't know what to say. It feels like God is helping her. Something happened at the Zhangcheng base right before the Security Bureau meeting, and she managed to turn the tide. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? Could it be that she was directing and acting in this?"
Feng Jingyi shook his head in disapproval: "Aduo, there is no point in saying this."
Feng Mengduo shrugged and said, "Father, don't worry. I didn't intend to let her stay in the position of Chief Executive Officer. I have a way to pull her down. It's all arranged."
Feng Jingyi looked at his daughter with some concern: "Aduo, what did you arrange? Can't you even tell me?"
"Father, it's not that I didn't tell you. You forgot that the prophet once said that there are people around that woman who can read minds. We should be careful. You will inevitably meet them at the Security Bureau meeting in two days. So in order to avoid any accidents, only Merlin and I know about this. Don't worry, I will never let her take over the Security Bureau safely."

In the main building of Pei Junlin’s villa in the shallow mountain villa area of Lizhu Wetland Park.
Ai Wanxin and her sentinels sat casually in the living room, enjoying a late dinner.
Jing picked up a piece of bright red steak with a fork and handed it to Ai Wanxin's mouth, but she shook her head and refused.
"Don't feed her randomly. My sweetheart doesn't like to eat uncooked food." He Yang gave him a look of disdain.
Jing turned around and fed the meat into his mouth, smiling and saying, "Captain He, why don't you change your clothes when you get home? Don't you know that my sister likes to be clean?"
He Yang's ears turned slightly red, and he said with all his strength: "Isn't it too late for me?"
Ai Wanxin took a bite of the cod meat that Pei Junlin put on her plate and nodded, "It's okay, I like to see it, you can wear it."
He Yang was immediately happy. He straightened his back so that his full and solid chest muscles wrapped in the military uniform would look more obvious.
Ai Wanxin said nonchalantly while eating, "I don't know why, they tormented me so much today, I was a little angry at first, but when I came back and saw your faces, I couldn't get angry at all, and even felt like I could forgive the whole world."
Everyone stopped moving in unison. Jiang Baota and Qi Tongtian, who stayed behind to eat, looked dumbfounded on the surface, but in their hearts they were about to shout out loud: [What kind of incompetent monarch is this, my little ancestor, don't say it so loudly! ]
Ai Wanxin asked: "Hey, I didn't see Senior Brother Yi all night, where is he?"
Pei Junlin smiled and said, "The junior brother said he wanted to go back to the Academy to see the teacher. After you left, he left too."
"Oh yes, I still miss Xiao Yuandan a little, and I should find time to go back and see him. But then again, why do I remember that there is one thing I haven't done?" Ai Wanxin fell into difficult memories.
Qiong fed a piece of fresh shrimp meat into her mouth and asked softly, "Is it about those two people brought from the underground boxing ring?"
Ai Wanxin's eyes lit up, and she looked at Jing and said, "Yes, Captain Qiao who bullied you, see, your brother still loves you and remembers the grievances you suffered so clearly."
