Seeing everyone silently acquiesce to his decision, Director Jiang’s lips curled into a subtle, imperceptible smile, while inside, he was overjoyed…
What could the Bai family do, no matter how powerful they were? As long as he refused to act, both the Su and Situ families would protect him. Even the Bai family would have to think twice before making a move against him.
It must be said—he was a man with skill. The moment he learned the Bai family’s true intentions, he had already spoken with Old Master Su. The reason the higher-ups had agreed was naturally due to the pressure exerted by Old Master Su.
As the leader of the inspection team, although he officially belonged to no faction, he was still highly intelligent. After all, he had no intention of being a pawn. This incident was a golden opportunity, and he was determined to align himself with the Su and Situ families.
After finishing his thoughts, Director Jiang dialed Old Master Su’s number…
“Comrade Commander, everything has been taken care of. No one will investigate Qiao Jinchang anymore. I will organize the documents and send them to the Supervision Bureau. Someone will definitely be charged with false accusations—after all, Qiao Dongchang has never committed any wrongdoing!”
Even though he was the head of the inspection team, he still had to speak respectfully to Old Master Su, because everyone knew of Old Master Su’s status in the military. There was once a time when someone attempted to target him, which directly caused unrest across three military regions…
“Good. This time, I owe you one. If you ever can’t handle things in the inspection team, I can find you a position in a military region!”
Old Master Su’s voice was extremely warm and approachable, far from the tone of someone in a high position. Perhaps after retirement, his temperament had changed. Now, he preferred to live like a carefree hermit. Yet even so, no one dared to provoke him.
“Thank you, Commander…”
His heart was filled with excitement. Hadn’t he done all this just to earn the old master’s recognition? If the old master were willing to help him, it wouldn’t just mean escaping the inspection team—it might even lead to a high-ranking position in a provincial bureau.
“As for what the Bai family asked of your team, just report it exactly as it happened. Don’t worry—whatever happens, the Su family will definitely not stand by and watch.”
After a brief hesitation, Old Master Su continued. Although he didn’t know when Xiao Yufan had gotten on the Bai family’s bad side, since they had dared to act, he naturally had to let them know—the Su family was not to be trifled with.
“I know exactly what to do. I will write down every instruction the Bai family gave to the inspection team, without omitting a single detail…”
Now that he had decided to side with Old Master Su, Director Jiang naturally understood that he couldn’t leave himself any room for retreat. This would also allow Old Master Su to sense his sincerity. If anything happened, he wouldn’t be left completely helpless.
“I trust you’ll handle it well. If the Bai family has any sense, they won’t dare to bother you. You can rest assured.”
These final words finally put the leader of the inspection team at ease. On Old Master Su’s face appeared a faint, meaningful smile…
“When did the Bai family grow so bold, daring to target my grandson? It seems these years of peace have made them forget their own limits!”
Muttering softly, Old Master Su’s eyes flashed with coldness. If the Bai family refrained from troubling Xiao Yufan further, that would be fine. But if they insisted on pushing forward, he wouldn’t mind reminding them exactly how deep the Su family’s power truly ran.
While one side rejoiced, another was filled with worry. As soon as the higher-ups canceled the inspection team’s operation, the Bai family realized—this time, Old Master Su had personally intervened…
Perhaps someone might still dare to disregard the Situ family, whose influence mainly lay in the business world. But if the Su family got involved, that was a completely different story—one that combined wealth, power, and influence. It seemed no one would dare provoke such a force…
