someone check my identity"Plop!Lu Haowen trembled all over again and knelt down directly: "I dare not! My son is blind and doesn't recognize Mount Tai. Please, Commander, punish me!"After he finished...>

An hour later, Ling Hao and his group returned to the Shadow Gate base.

"Big brother, about that thing you asked me to look into last time, there's some progress." As a few people walked towards the council hall, Ye Ji said while walking,

As you guessed, it is indeed related to one of the gates of the imperial city.

"Confirm" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Mm!" Yejie nodded in response. "Last time we raided the Moge, I interrogated the person in charge of this side of the capital alone."

He told me that five years ago, someone did indeed contact him about the Zheng family in Dongzhou. At the time, they referred the other party to the Eastern District due to jurisdictional reasons.

"How did he know the other party was from a prominent family" Ling Hao's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Mo Ge is more cautious about larger projects, usually investigating the client's identity. The reward offered at the time was over ten billion, so they were wary." Ye Ji paused before continuing.

Although the other party never showed their true face from beginning to end, Moge finally found some clues.

The person he contacted was from the family behind that powerful clan. After learning their identity, Mo Ge had no more reservations and directly transferred the job to the Eastern District.

"As expected!" A chill emanated from Ling Hao.

"Brother, do you want to go to that prestigious family's mansion now" Ye Ji continued.

"Let's do it next time!" Ling Hao shook his head slightly.

This time his visit to the capital city was twofold: firstly, to resolve the Shadow Gate incident from three years ago; secondly, to make an example of someone and intimidate those with ulterior motives.

Today, both sides have already achieved their objectives and it's not suitable to make too much of a commotion.

Since the other party's identity has been confirmed, there's no need to rush.

Ring ring!

At this time, Ling Hao's phone rang. He picked it up and looked at the caller ID, his eyes flickering slightly.

He then walked alone into a reception room.

"Mr. Tang!"

After answering the phone, Ling Hao respectfully greeted him.

The elder on the phone, regardless of their status or contributions to this country, deserves his respect!

"Your Majesty, to avoid suspicion, I won't be meeting with you this time," Tang Lao's voice echoed from the phone. "How are you doing Has your anger subsided a little"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Tang!" Ling Hao replied.

"It was I who made the people of Zhongtian Company come forward!" Old Tang continued.

"Oh" Ling Hao was slightly taken aback, but his heart felt a tinge of relief at the same time.

Since it was Tang Lao who came forward, it means that the influence of the landed gentry hasn't reached a point where they could control Zhongtiansi.

"The current situation in the capital is quite delicate. Minor skirmishes are no problem, but a large-scale conflict is not yet opportune. I hope you understand!" Old Tang continued.

"Old Tang, your words are too heavy. I understand!" Ling Hao nodded.

"You really embarrassed the Chu clan this time. They won't let it go that easily, and I think several other influential families have also felt threatened by you. Be careful," Tang Lao warned.

"He's just a clown, nothing to be afraid of!" Ling Hao responded.

"A shot fired openly is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend against. It's best to be cautious!" Tang Lao paused for a moment, then in a hesitant voice, changed the subject.

"It's unlikely that Dong Yang in the Eastern District will return to his previous position. What are your thoughts on the Eastern District"

"What is Old Tang trying to say" Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, a vague guess forming in his mind.

"A few of us old fellows discussed it and decided to have Lü Yu take his place. We wanted to hear your opinion first," Tang Lao continued.

"I have no objections, the main thing is to ask Lu Yue about their own thoughts." Ling Hao raised an eyebrow, as expected!

As early as before, when he heard Mu Yitian tell Lu Yue those words, he had a general idea.

Actually, he had also thought about this in his heart.

Lu Yue acted as his deputy, which was a waste of his talents. Given Lu Yue's abilities in all aspects, he was more than capable of taking on the role of a regional lord!

But these years, Lu Yue has been determined to follow him. He can't really drive him away.

And now that there is such an opportunity, he naturally hopes his brother can have a bigger platform.

He only listens to you. If you don't speak up, he won't agree! It seems that Old Tang knows Lu Yue very well.

“Then I'll talk to him.” Ling Hao said after a moment of thought.

"Good!" replied Mr. Tang, then changed the subject again.

"You need to be careful in the Shadow Realm. Since you left Blood Asura there, it's important to make sure she has what she needs. She's still a bit weak on her own."

"The international situation is becoming increasingly delicate, as several major powers are constantly pouring manpower and resources into the dark world. Their intentions are very obvious!"

"And the power of our Great Xia nation over there, besides the original Rakshasa Hall, the rest of the forces are too weak."

"If things get out of control over there, we'll be very passive. You need to worry more about it!"

"Understood!" Ling Hao nodded slightly.

He has also been thinking about this issue lately.

Originally, he wanted to give Xue Luosha a year to grow up slowly.

But based on the current situation, a year is too long. He can't wait, and Daxiaguo can't wait either!

"How are your injuries" Old Tang continued to ask.

"It's nothing major, it'll be almost done in another month." Ling Hao responded.

"That's great! I called Grandpa yesterday, and he was still asking about this!" Tang Lao let out a slight sigh of relief.

"Grandpa, you're so kind!" Ling Hao's face flashed with a grateful smile.

After chatting for a while, they each hung up the phone.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Ling Hao was on his way back. Lu Yue, the Judge, Hei Gong, and Xuan Pang followed him onto the Shadow Gate's dedicated plane.

The Azure Wolf, Cold Moon, and Soulchaser each returned to their respective posts.

Ling Hao originally wanted to let Xuan Pang follow Zhu Hun back to Xijing, but Xuan Pang refused absolutely.

He insisted on going to Dongzhou with Ling Hao for a while, and Ling Hao couldn't resist him, so he had to agree.

Before leaving, Ling Hao had Lu Yue contact Zheng Dongyang again. He originally wanted to visit him, but upon learning that the imperial physicians of the capital city were already attending to him, he gave up.

"Tang Lao called me today." On the plane, Ling Hao looked at Lu Yue and spoke.

"Should I be taking over Zheng Dongyang's position" Lu Yue spoke lightly.

He naturally also heard the other party's subtext from Mu Yatian's words before.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded.

"Wow! Boss Lu, you're getting promoted!" the Judge and Xuan Pang shouted at the same time.

"Don't fan the flames!" Lu Yue glared at the two of them.

"What do you think" Ling Hao spoke again.

"I won't!" Lu Yue shook his head very firmly.

Cough! Cough!

The Judge and Xuan Pang simultaneously scoffed.

Such a good thing, and you're still not doing it Has Lao Lu gone crazy!

That was a ruler of a realm!o had attained the peak of the Great General realm, while the strongest one, like the enchanting woman before him, had reached the pinnacle of the War God realm!"Your target is me, make them leave!" L...
