As soon as Jin Yuan and Zhang Yu left the Arbiter headquarters, Han Kongwen accompanied a big shot to the VIP reception room of the headquarters building.

This big shot is none other than Xiao Qing, the current supreme leader of the Glorious Republic.

Xiao Qing, who was born in AD 79, has a prominent family background. Although the Xiao family is not among the seven major families, it is second to none in the political arena.

As the daughter of the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Qing has had high hopes since she was a child. Of course, Xiao Qing's own qualifications are also excellent.

Not only did he complete basic coursework at the age of 9, which would normally take more than ten years for ordinary people to complete, but he also relied on his own efforts to be admitted to the Supreme Military Academy of the Free Federation at the age of 13.

Six years later, the 19-year-old Xiao Qing was already a first-class reserve officer of the Wings of Freedom Guards when she graduated. After officially joining the military establishment, she was directly awarded the rank of captain and served as the Military Council of the First Legion of the Wings of Freedom Guards of the Free Federation.

The position of Deputy Inspector General.

With such a good start, coupled with the power of the Xiao family and Xiao Qing's own strength, Xiao Qing's political road has been smooth sailing.

It's a pity that the United Government has been "unlucky" since it won the war with the Zansbol Empire...

After the Cerberus Dome was destroyed in the Golden Birdcage Incident, the Free Federation government was basically disbanded... Although later, with the efforts of many parties, the overall political structure of mankind was reorganized and the new Free Federation government was formed, but it was not possible.

long.

However, whether it is a free association government or a neo-liberal association government, they are the embodiment of the collective will of major interest groups and the people. Those who can truly influence the world will not end their performances just because the stage changes.

Xiao Qing is the best among these people.

Xiao Qing, who made outstanding contributions to preserving the fire of human civilization during the Center Curtain Incident, eventually became the supreme leader of the Glorious Republic as expected by the public.

Although some people think that the reason why Xiao Qing is where she is today is mostly because of other competitors' own problems.

Just like Han Kongwen.

As a veteran figure originally established by the Arbiter Organization, and relying on the financial resources and political influence of the Han family, it is basically easy for her to stand at the highest position.

However, Han Kongwen chose to hand over the highest authority, pushed Xiao Qing to the front desk, and fully assisted her.

The reason for this is quite intriguing.

Some people say that Han Kongwen is worried that the stain left on her by the Cerberus incident will be dug up, while others say that although Han Kongwen has the strength to become the supreme leader, she does not have the capabilities that a supreme leader should have.

But no matter what the reason was, Han Kongwen didn't care. She seemed to be just tired and didn't want to stand so high.

…

Now, although she has basically retreated behind the scenes, Han Kongwen still has to come forward at the critical moment, and even if she doesn't want to... Xiao Qing will ask her to come out.

From here overlooking the entire Arbiter headquarters, Xiao Qing and Han Kongwen can clearly see the people coming and going in front of the headquarters gate.

When they saw Zhang Yu and Jin Yuan leaving, Xiao Qing asked: "I heard Li Bo'an say that this matter may involve several top managers in the Supreme Court and the Supreme Council, right?"

Han Kongwen nodded: "Yes, there are seven people in total, three of them are in Erub, and the other four are in New Cerberus and Percival."

"Hmm...what do you think?"

Han Kongwen hesitated for a moment, then said: "If the matter continues to expand, it will inevitably cause big waves, but if it is not dealt with... the last step of returning home... will definitely be affected."

Xiao Qing smiled when she heard this. She looked at Han Kongwen and said, "When did you start saying such empty words?"

Han Kongwen also laughed: "If it were my identity more than ten years ago, I wouldn't bother you at all with things like this, but it's different now. The people and forces involved have been integrated into the overall structure. In this case

, if I continue to deal with it the same way as before, wouldn’t it be equivalent to self-mutilation?”

Xiao Qing smiled and said nothing.

After a while, the door to the reception room opened.

Xue Ming and Chen Enzhi walked in.

These two are now similar to Han Kongwen, and they have basically retreated to the background.

Especially Chen Enzhi, although she can enter and leave the Arbiter headquarters freely, she has no actual job with the Arbiter and is basically a "retiree".

But when the critical moment comes, Chen Enzhi, an "outsider", can exert energy that cannot be exerted by people within the system.

Seeing Chen Enzhi, Han Kongwen understood.

Xiao Qing already had a plan, but the person she chose was slightly different from what Han Kongwen had expected.

"Long time no see." The relationship between Xiao Qing and Chen Enzhi is still good. After all, Chen Enzhi still contributed a lot to the establishment of the Glorious Republic.

Chen Enzhi heard this and said: "Isn't that right? You are now the supreme leader and you are very busy every day!"

Xiao Qing straightened her face: "Why do I hear there is something in this?"

Chen Enzhi rolled his eyes at Xiao Qing and said, "Well, there are no outsiders here, so I can't speak casually."

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth with a smile and said: "You, I didn't say you can't be casual, but you are the mother of two children, why do you still speak so childishly?"

Chen Enzhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What's the matter? I'm still young at heart. Besides, I'm not in front of juniors, right?" After saying that, he looked at Xue Ming.

Xue Ming was stunned, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't look at me, I'm old, how can I be as young as you."

Chen Enzhi was not happy at that time and laughed.

Just take action.

Fortunately, Xiao Qing coughed in time and said: "Ahem, okay, okay, let's talk about serious things first."

Chen Enzhi let Xue Ming go, then snorted and said: "I had already thought about it when I came here. You can leave this matter to me, but we have to agree in advance that I will not sacrifice my people.

, so...except for being a little aggrieved, I will not show mercy when necessary."

Xiao Qing smiled and said: "Okay."

Chen Enzhi was a little surprised. He probably didn't expect Xiao Qing to be so easy to talk to, so he quickly added: "In addition... I need enough equipment support, so... you have to give me a charter, or give it to the Interstellar Army.

I open a back door so that I can act more securely."

After Xiao Qing thought for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay, this is no problem."

With these promises, Chen Enzhi felt that things were much easier to handle, but she suddenly felt that there was something wrong with Xiao Qing being so easy to talk to, so she frowned and said: "Hey, wait! When you needed me for something in the past, you always had a lot of requests, why?

This time...are you so easy to talk to?"

Xiao Qing and Han Kongwen looked at each other and smiled, and Chen Enzhi felt a chill in his back when he saw this.

"Um...you two...are you plotting to trick me again? Let me tell you, if something happens to me and my husband is left alone, you will be in trouble!"

The other three people couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then they all laughed.

Chen Enzhi was even more puzzled and said unhappily: "Hey! You just said that I am not serious! Look at you! One is the supreme leader, the other is the former top executive of the Arbiter, and you! You are still the current

Where is the head of the logistics department! Is it appropriate for you to bully a weak woman like me?"

Xiao Qing blushed slightly, and then explained: "No, this matter is already very troublesome. If there are more rules and regulations, it will affect your actions, so this time I want you to let it go.

, and also want to see their reaction.”

"Let go and do it... Oh!!! You said you weren't trying to trick me! Aren't you using me as bait?" Chen Enzhi came to his senses and was really a little angry at the moment.

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Han Kongwen added from the side: "Don't get me wrong, no one will let you be used as bait. It's just that after what happened recently, we realized that these guys may really think that their roots are deep enough.

We don't dare to touch them, so... we'll maintain the appearance, but privately you have to be responsible for teaching them a profound lesson!"

Chen Enzhi frowned and studied this sentence, and then understood: "Oh! I understand! It seems that I misunderstood! Sorry!"

Xiao Qing didn't care at all. She already knew that Chen Enzhi's personality was one of those that come and go quickly, so she smiled lightly and said, "It's okay. I'll be relieved once you understand."

Chen Enzhi nodded: "Okay, then... I'll go back and prepare first?"

Han Kongwen said hurriedly: "Don't worry, those guys who need to be dealt with will come to this meeting today. You might as well take a look first. In addition... Qin Yi will have a dinner party in a few days, and we have to come out to support her.

Support the scene."

Chen Enzhi was stunned and said strangely: "It's okay to sit in on the meeting, but this Qin Yi... why should we support her? Are you familiar with her?"

Han Kongwen shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with it, but we really have to go to this dinner."

"Hey? Why?" Chen Enzhi looked at Xue Ming out of habit.

Xue Ming did not hide this time. He said: "You should also know that the annihilationists who are the most powerful and the most extreme in the 'disciples' have just changed their leaders recently."

Chen Enzhi nodded: "I know, I heard it's a woman named Chu Yunlan."

"Yes, then do you know which family the Chu family has the closest ties with?"

Chen Enzhi frowned, then suddenly realized: "You mean... the Qin family has contacts with these annihilators?"

Xue Ming shook his head: "It's not the Qin family."

Chen Enzhi didn't understand again and said irritably: "Oh! Please stop beating around the bush, okay! Say what you have to say at once!"

Xue Ming smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Although the Qin family has nothing to do with the annihilationists, in the past few years, the Qin family has expanded its sphere of influence to the area where the 'disciples' are most active. In addition,

A list... You should be clear, right? The Holy Ark Council composed of seven major families doesn't care who is in power. They only have interests in their eyes, so... they can't let the balance be broken, so the Qin family wants to

If you want to continue to be a member of the Seven Families, you must make a statement! At this time, Qin Yi's attitude is very crucial."

What Chen Enzhi is not good at is analyzing these interest entanglements, but Xue Ming has explained it to this extent, so of course she can still understand it.

only.

"I understand this. It's just a matter of dividing the cake between the seven major families, but what does this have to do with us going to support Qin Yi?"

Xue Ming was startled, then pinched his eyebrows and seemed to have a headache.
