Chapter 25: Call from the Capital

aking softly but with an air of determination: “No matter who you are, if you dare to challenge the Zhao family, I will make sure you learn what it means to be over your head.”"Big brother, it's too h...>

A few minutes later, the Land Rover led the way, followed by a van, slowly driving towards Qin's residential area.

After the car drove away, Lu Yue looked like he had something to say but held back.

"He's not at the forefront anymore, don't call him Marshal. Just like Fatty Shen, call him Shao Ling!" Ling Hao said.

"Then I'll still call you big brother, it sounds more intimate!" Lu Yue smiled.

"Not bad!" Ling Hao nodded slightly and continued, "What were you trying to say just now"

"I received a call from the capital this morning!" Lu Yue's voice was slightly heavy.

"Heh heh, as expected!" Ling Hao said lightly, "What did they say"

"I've taken issue with your unauthorized absence, and you have three days to return to the Western Territory! Otherwise," Lu Yue took a deep breath and continued, "I will revoke your title of West King!"

“Perfect!” Ling Hao said with a nonchalant expression.

"Please draft a resignation letter for me and send it. Just say that I am resigning from all positions at the company due to personal reasons!"

Oops!

Lu Yue slammed on the brakes with his foot.

"Brother, your joke is a bit too much!"

"If the four Azure Dragons knew you quit, they'd definitely drop everything and come follow you!"

"Even, the whole Blood Shadow Squad is estimated to quit!"

"They dare!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice.

"Tell them to stay in the West Territory, and obey my orders. If they dare disobey, they should be prepared to lose their heads!"

"Big brother, you're not serious, are you" Lu Yue turned his head to look at Ling Hao.

"Are you joking" Ling Hao glared at him.

But… Lu Yue took another deep breath.

"The one in the capital's War Department has been in a semi-retired state for the past two years due to health reasons. It is said that those above intend to select one person from among you five Kings and Dukes to replace him."

"If you resign now…"

"I heard about this from my grandfather a long time ago," Ling Hao interrupted.

"I resign, on one hand, I want to spend more time with Ruiru and Yuxin. I owe them so much!"

On the other hand, precisely because of the reason you mentioned, I have absolutely no interest in that position. Let them four struggle with it!

"To me, freedom from office is bliss!"

"Understood!" Lu Yue nodded thoughtfully and then spoke.

It is said that the person in Zhong District has always held a grudge against you and has repeatedly complained to the capital. They have also privately courted the officials from Bei Jing and Nan Jing, so be careful!

"Hmph, those who can't make it on stage, let them go!" Ling Hao smiled faintly: "They won't be able to make much of a splash!"

"He's royalty, you know. There are quite a few people in the capital who support him. If he truly wants to go against your brother... I'm worried..." Lu Yue continued speaking.

"There's nothing to worry about!" Ling Hao interrupted him again, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "He better watch himself, or else, I don't mind tearing down his den!"

"Alright!" Lu Yue's mouth twitched.

"By the way, how is Zheng Dongyang from the Eastern Region doing" Ling Hao thought for a moment and then asked again.

"Not optimistic!" Lu Yue shook his head.

After the last battle, he was heavily injured by the enemy. It is said that his cultivation level has dropped sharply, and with his age, it is unlikely that he will be able to return to his post.

"If you have time, give him a call and see if he's in Dongzhou. If he is, I'd like to go see him." Ling Hao said after a moment of thought.

"Received!" Lu Yue nodded in response, paused for a moment and then continued to ask: "Brother, if you resign from your position in the camp, what about the position of Yingmen"

Similarly, leave it to the higher-ups to decide. If they are willing to let me continue managing Shadow Gate, I won't refuse! Ling Hao responded in a deep voice.

"If you think I can't do the job, feel free to ask me to step down at any time!"

"Received!" Lu Yue nodded seriously.

After a slight pause, he continued, “By the way, big brother, I heard that someone in the capital is investigating your background!”

"Let them investigate, they can do whatever they want!" Ling Hao frowned slightly.

A bunch of good-for-nothing scoundrels who never get anything done, these clowns only know how to pull dirty tricks. They have no other skills!

"That's true, being idle all day drives you crazy. If they don't stir things up a bit, they'll go insane!" Lu Yue nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while longer, Lu Yue drove the car into an old residential complex.

After entering the residential area, the two noticed that a large red "Demolition" character was painted on the exterior walls of all the buildings.

In the open space of the community, several elderly people gathered in small groups, discussing something with furrowed brows and sighs. Their faces were etched with worry.

"Dad!"

Ling Hao and the other person stopped their car in front of Building 8. As soon as they got out, a small figure ran towards Ling Hao.

"Rui Rui, do you miss daddy!" Ling Hao bent down and picked up Rui Rui, spinning in place a few times.

"Of course, Ruirui wants Daddy of course..." Ruirui's tears wet Ling Hao's shirt.

"Dad wants to be with Ruirui too!" Ling Hao's eyes turned red at the same time.

Standing at a distance, Qin Yuxin watched this scene unfold, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

This scene appeared in her dreams countless times.

She so desperately hoped that Ruirui would have a strong and capable father to rely on, so she wouldn't be called an outcast anymore.

This dream, she's had it for five years!

"Ruirui, Daddy bought you a lot of toys, let's go see them"

Soon, Ling Hao carried Ruirui toward the truck at the back.

"Really That's great, Ruirui has a new toy again." The little kid broke into a smile.

After the two entered the compartment, RuiRui saw toys all over and raised her small hand to rub her big eyes. She shouted loudly.

"Daddy, aren't all these toys for Rui Rui"

"Right!" Ling Hao smiled and said, "Does Ruirui like it"

"Like it, of course I like it!" Ruirui danced with joy and looked at Qin Yuxin: "Mom, come see, Dad bought me so many toys!"

At this time, Qin Yufei also walked out from the unit door and quickly came to the train carriage.

"Goodness gracious!" Looking at a whole carload of toys, her sexy little mouth was wide open enough to swallow two eggs.

"Brother-in-law, are you a rich man"

Qin Yuxin heard her address, originally wanted to retort a few words, but after thinking about it, she gave up the idea.

Then, as he walked up and looked at the mountain of toys, his mouth twitched several times.

Such paternal love is truly like a mountain!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, a sound of footsteps rang out. Ten or so tattooed men walked over here.

After seeing the Qin Yuxin sisters, everyone's eyes were like wolves.

"You guys must be the owners of 303, right I've been waiting for you guys forever!" The first bald man's eyes roamed over Qin Yuxin.

"Daddy, are they bad people Ruirui is scared..." Looking at the group of people, Ruirui hugged Ling Hao tightly.

The events in Yun Cheng left her with psychological trauma. Now, whenever she sees someone with an unfriendly expression, her whole body trembles.

"Rui Rui, don't be afraid. With your dad here, no one will ever bully you again." Ling Hao spoke softly, then looked at Qin Yu Fei.

"Xiaofei, you take Ruirui home first. Rainxin and I will be up in a bit."

"Hmm!" Qin Yufei nodded and took Rourou from Ling Hao's hands, walking towards the hallway.

"What's the matter" Ling Hao then looked at the bald man and asked.

"We bought your house. Take the deed and come with us to finish the paperwork!" The bald man licked his dry lips.

"What does that mean" Qin Yuxin asked, her brows furrowed.years ahead of those young masters and ladies from Jianghai City!Now, she even knelt down to a peer!A dozen or so men in black standing nearby saw this and immediately quickened their pace, one of the...
