Reborn as a Noble's Son

Nie Zhenbang was gambling too. Although he, as a superior, intended for his group’s future to follow his path, he ultimately needed to construct a faction that belonged solely to him. New Li City was a part of this and Chen Le and Yi Jun were both considered his closest allies.

Under these circumstances, if he were to sacrifice these allies for his personal gain, although no one would say anything at present, it would inevitably leave a bad impression in the minds of people like Chen Le.

In the system, small details are given top priority. Sometimes, a minor detail could cause a major upheaval. Li Guohua’s current situation is a vivid example of this.

Li Guohua himself probably didn’t know that his and Li Yaozu’s distant relatives’ affiliation and some hearsay messy news had led to this opportunity to bring him down. Half a million was not a significant amount for Li Guohua, yet it turned out to be the trigger to end his political career.

Hearing all this, Chen Le’s expression changed. He was deeply moved and said with a grave voice, “Mayor, rest assured. I will definitely complete the task.”

At this point, Nie Zhenbang did not slacken and reiterated, “Old Chen, you have been with me for many years. You are familiar with my style. If we move, we must make it lethal. In military warfare, it’s called defeating the enemy with one move, a lethal approach. The same rule applies in politics. We must make solid ground and never let the enemy recover. This is my style. For this operation, you must plan every detail meticulously. Think three times before you act. Now, go into action. I’m waiting here for your good news.”

Watching Chen Le leave, Nie Zhenbang clearly understood Chen Le’s character. If the young man was successful, that would be one thing. But if he failed, he would likely take all the responsibility upon himself.

Subsequently, Nie Zhenbang sat down and made a call to Zhao Xinglong in Jingcheng. The moment the call connected, Zhao Xinglong’s voice came through, “Third Brother, what brings you here today?”

Nie Zhenbang cut straight to the point, “Xinglong, I won’t beat around the bush. I hear your aunt works at Huaxia Youth News. Could you do me a favor? I’ll have some photos of Li Guohua’s published later.”

Being from prominent families, Zhao Xinglong understood immediately. Reporting Li Guohua’s scandalous news in the news, and without hesitation, he replied cheerfully, “Li Guohua’s misfortune is joyful news! I’ve hated him since seeing his triumphant face at the Dynasty Club. Leave this task to me. Wen’s aunt works at the Southern Metropolis. I’ll see if any others have media connections and promise to cover the news no matter what.”

Listening to Zhao Xinglong, Nie Zhenbang laughed, “Aren’t you afraid of getting into a mess? After all, Li Guohua’s news is not a small issue. Once it breaks out, Li Guohua is doomed.”

Zhao Xinglong laughed heartily, “When have you ever seen me, Zhao Xinglong, afraid of anything? My old man never interferes in government affairs. It’s not easy for the Li family to infiltrate the military against us. Don’t worry about this.”

This move was meticulously planned by Nie Zhenbang after hearing from Chen Le. As he had mentioned earlier, his style was either not to take action at all, or if he did, it would be a move nobody, no force could change.

He believed that once this issue was made public nationwide, Li Guohua’s reputation would be swept away. Even if he wasn’t dismissed, he’d surely be transferred out of Liangxi. Afterward, the Li family would probably give up on him, resigning him to live out his remaining years quietly in some corner.

While Nie Zhenbang was planning, Chen Le began to take action. At around 9:30 in the evening, Li Guohua showed up at the entrance of the Liangxi Grand Hotel. Chen Le felt a sigh of relief. This time was half an hour later than Li Guohua’s usual, and Chen Le almost thought he wouldn’t come.

Three minutes after Li Guohua entered the hotel, two foreigners followed, and then the foreign teacher from Liangxi University also entered the hotel.

Seeing this, Chen Le was delighted. He turned to Feng Kuang and said, “Feng, it looks like a big gathering today. This is great. Their private room will be very lively, which can provide us a lot of cover. When we go up later, we must break the door the first time. The door to the presidential suite is sturdy, I authorize, you can use firearms.”

Feng Kuang nodded as well. As the head of the Liangxi City Public Security Bureau, Chen Le was a public figure; many social celebrities and system cadres in Liangxi City knew him. Therefore, Chen Le couldn’t appear in this operation, for once he stepped into the Liangxi Grand Hotel, he’d probably be warmly invited by the director of the Liangxi City Reception Office.
