Chapter 723 This chaotic world should be over!!
The chaos in Diandi did not affect the mountain city.
However, the atmosphere of the entire mountain city is filled with a sense of desolation, which is even difficult to conceal.
Mountain cities, eleven.
"It's the end of the road..." Shen Mei looked out the window with a somewhat emotional expression.
The national situation is not optimistic, and Shancheng’s control over other places is becoming increasingly weak.
In fact, everyone in the mountain city, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, actually understood it in their hearts, but this was a taboo.
Before the Huben Army left the pass, Lin Tianchen looked at the mountain city from afar. He was the one man who was suffocating the entire city. Even the common people knew that the mountain city might be on its last legs.
This is indeed the case. The incident of one man conquering a city was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Many factions throughout the territory began to become alienated from the mountain city, and the execution of the mobilization became increasingly weak.
There were light and hurried footsteps. Shen Mei slowly withdrew her gaze and saw Chen Zhongfu appear with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Chen Zhongfu did not speak in a hurry, but carefully observed the outside and closed the door.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mei's expression suddenly became serious.
"I just received a piece of news that Shancheng wants to bring back the Huben Army and promise them important positions." Chen Zhongfu came close to Shen Mei, his tone full of seriousness.
"How is it possible to come back... Where did the fight go?" Shen Mei showed a rare sneer.
Shancheng really acted as if Lin Tianchen had no temper.
"Wacheng... has taken control of the arsenal, and the attacks on Xicheng and Nacheng have taken control of the resources and oil fields." Chen Zhongfu suppressed the excitement in his tone. The Huben Army's control of the arsenal, oil fields and mineral resources means there are no worries.
By then, the Tiger and Leopard Army will be able to achieve unprecedented development.
He had never spent a single day in the Huben Army, but he recognized the Huben Army's philosophy and Lin Tianchen as a person.
"This is the lifeline that has been suppressed. Seeing the benefits brought by the Huben Army, they want to pull the Huben Army back and redistribute the interests..." Shen Mei shook her head, her tone full of disdain.
Shancheng is said to be short-sighted, but it is not really short-sighted.
She was not surprised that the current situation had been caused by the inability to eliminate the stubborn internal decay, the immense external pressure, and the wrong decisions and underestimation of Lin Tianchen's influence.
In fact, she had wanted to micro-manage the situation many times before, and she knew that Shancheng probably wouldn't make it to the end.
"You are so cautious, it shouldn't be just about this matter, right?" Shen Mei looked at the closed office door and spoke in a serious tone.
"No, it was Shancheng who intended to let our Eleventh Department be responsible for negotiating with the Huben Army." Chen Zhongfu's tone suddenly became serious and his voice was lowered.
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Mei's brows frowned instantly, her eyes flashed slightly, and she subconsciously reached for the gun in the drawer, but then shook her head.
"It's probably not that they discovered us...they just want us to talk." Shen Mei pondered for a moment and spoke thoughtfully.
"This matter...we shouldn't be suitable for each other, right?" Chen Zhongfu was silent for a few seconds and then spoke.
"Suitable... No one is more suitable than us!" Shen Mei shook her head and denied Chen Zhongfu's statement.
"We...are undercover agents. If we help Lin Jun, we will be easily exposed..." Chen Zhongfu hesitated and spoke.
After all, he is an undercover agent. If he helps too obviously, he will easily be targeted by others. Moreover, saying that they are in charge of such an important negotiation does not mean that they have not planted people there.
"That's based on the premise that we still have to hide." Shen Mei looked at Chen Zhongfu and said in a low voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Zhongfu's eyes lit up instantly. To be able to become an underground worker, he was not a stupid person. He understood this point instantly.
Now the mountain city is in the sunset. Whether it is contacting the Tiger Guards or contacting various parties, it is actually a dying struggle, which means that the value of lurking is gradually decreasing.
"What to do? Incite some troops to rebel?" Chen Zhongfu was a little impatient. It was really difficult for him to suppress his inner excitement. Since there was no one lurking in the mountain city, he would most likely stop his underground life and return to the Huben Army.
It's like an iron tree in the desert. When you see an oasis you've longed for, your originally tense heartstrings begin to feel hopeful.
"That's too obvious, and it's not what the Tiger Guards urgently need..." Shen Mei couldn't help but shook her head.
"Urgently needed?" Chen Zhongfu murmured, thought seriously for a moment, and instantly understood what Shen Mei meant.
"Schools... no, talent!" Chen Zhongfu's eyes lit up. Due to the wars in various places, many schools moved to Caiyun, such as Yan Qingnan, who founded Southwest Associated University.
All Fudan University in Pudong moved to Caiyun.
These are all valuable talents. Now that the mountain city is in decline, these talents can be transferred to the Huben Army. After all, it is only separated from Diandi by some mountains.
"Yes, these are the talents the Tiger Guards really need."
Shen Mei nodded, paused slightly, and said firmly: "This negotiation must be under our control, so that we can have a lot of initiative..."
"I understand. I will take advantage of this negotiation without leaving any trace. By the way, Heiyun Village is probably about to set off." Chen Zhongfu nodded, suddenly thought of something, and spoke as a reminder.
"Now Shancheng wants the Huben Army to come back to rebuild public opinion. If Shancheng doesn't cause trouble, no one will cause trouble along the way. However, it's not wrong to keep a closer eye on them." Shen Mei nodded and passed the news to Heiyun Village. She actually knew very well that the Huben Army would not be able to come back.
"it is good..."
"Go do it! Be careful." Shen Mei instructed, but looked at Chen Zhongfu who did not leave, with a look of surprise.
"Anything else?"
"There's something I want to confirm with you."
"We have always been partners, there is nothing we can't talk about." Shen Mei smiled and said.
Chen Zhongfu hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.
"Is Cheng Tingying your daughter..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire office instantly turned cold. Shen Mei stared at Chen Zhongfu with frosty eyes. As an underground member, exposing weaknesses would be fatal.
Being in the same boat with Chen Zhongfu now doesn't mean we'll be in the same boat in the future. Chen Zhongfu clearly felt the cold gaze. He had the answer and couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face.
"I have actually been looking for Cheng Tingying. I just didn't expect that Cheng Tingying is actually your daughter with Tianxiao. My nickname is Cheng Ergou... Tianxiao should have told you." Chen Zhongfu felt a little complicated. He didn't expect that the daughter of his good friend whom he had been looking for was actually born to Shen Mei.
"You...are Cheng Ergou?" Shen Mei looked at Chen Zhongfu with some disbelief.
"It's genuine. I just joined the underground system. Only Cheng Tianxiao knows this name." Chen Zhongfu's eyes showed helplessness. This was really a case of being in the dark. Since he wanted to become an underground person, many past events needed to be erased.
If he had not been paying attention to every move of the Black Cloud Village, and considering the time when Shen Mei went to the Black Cloud Village, and his understanding of Shen Mei, he would never have made such an easy decision.
Lin Tianchen was not in Heiyun Village at that time, which meant that there was another extremely important person who influenced Shen Mei. In addition, he knew some of the places where Shen Mei had worked, which led to this speculation.
"This chaotic world...it's time to end..." Shen Mei suddenly let out a long sigh.
"It's time to finish."
Chen Zhongfu nodded in agreement.
