The atmosphere of the conversation gradually became relaxed and enjoyable, and Governor Sheng even showed a rare smile.

Cheng Hexin finally let go of the resentment in his heart and was considering whether to say a few words when he suddenly saw a governor's off-road vehicle rushing towards them from not far away.

Before the car even stopped, Ling Huayue, the young chief of staff of the governor's office, jumped off and quickly walked to the governor.

"Governor, this is the telegram from Lei Renjie in Changshan County."

Sheng Huaixuan laughed, "What happened? Did Lin Wen run out of money and have Lei Renjie send me a telegram?"

Ling Huayue shook his head slightly. His handsome face was particularly charming in the moonlight. If it weren't for his well-tailored men's suit, many people would mistake him for a stunning beauty.

"It's a rebellion."

He uttered these words with thin lips, instantly lowering the atmosphere to freezing point.

"A large-scale one."

Sheng Huaixuan's smile disappeared as he began to carefully read the telegram. The people around him were anxious but dared not disturb the governor's reading.

Ling Huayue had no intention of explaining and stood there coldly like a frozen beauty.

Cheng Hexin had always deeply resented his attitude, but he was powerless. Apart from the governor, the three pillars of the governor's office, Minister of Internal Affairs Mei Xingan, Chief of Staff Ling Huayue, and Director of the State Government Office Nopes, all had higher status than him.

When the governor was absent, it was always these three people who made decisions.

Now, two of the three giants were present, standing by the governor's side like his left and right arms. Cheng Hexin, as the chief secretary, had no right to speak.

He even transferred his resentment to Lin Wen. Lin Wen had helped him so much that day, providing him with a governor's car, rejecting the bald-faced man, and even arranging the emcee for him, but that guy still couldn't handle the situation.

What a waste!

Cheng Hexin thought angrily, all the effort the governor put into him was in vain. He even spent so much effort to get him the power of command, but it was useless.

It would be better to replace him with me.

While he was lost in thought, Sheng Huaixuan had finished reading the telegram and a smile burst onto his solemn face.

"This kid really exceeded my expectations."

Ling Huayue nodded, "Extremely cunning, good at planning, manipulating people's hearts, and decisive when it's time to act. He's a ruthless character with a pure appearance and a dark heart. We must be careful not to be deceived by his innocent and inexperienced appearance, otherwise, we will have no place to die. I have to be careful and guard against him in the future."

Mei Xingan, who had read the telegram from the side of the governor, coughed, "He has an unimaginable amount of courage, and there must be something we don't know that he relies on. We need to investigate carefully, and there must be no hidden danger around the governor."

Ling Huayue agreed, "Yes, Governor, you must be careful of him turning against us in the future. This kid is not to be trifled with."Cheng Hexin opened his mouth wide, feeling like something had cracked open in his head.

Sheng Huaixuan laughed and shook his head. These two were good at everything, but they were too cautious and narrow-minded.

After watching Lin Wen's calming process again, Sheng Huaixuan suddenly felt a surge of youthful energy.

This was the feeling of youth.

He closed his eyes and carefully imagined the scene at the time. He wondered how he would have acted if he were young and standing there.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, full of spirit. The spiritual energy that had long been deposited in the bottom of his soul's swamp rose up, making the governor look ten years younger.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can do it too. This kid is good."

He pointed to the telegram: "Except for not knowing how he caught these spies, I can handle everything else."

"I can handle it too."

Ling Huayue and Mei Xingan looked at each other and suddenly said in unison, "Lord Governor! You are the pillar of East Qin Prefecture! The lighthouse that the empire hopes for!"

"Tens of thousands of people in your governor's mansion rely on you!"

"Tens of thousands of brothers who fought alongside you rely on you!"

"The 110 million people of East Qin Prefecture rely on you!"

"The new empire..."

"Okay, okay."

Sheng Huaixuan waved his hand in disappointment, as if to drive away this surge of vulgar and unbearable air, and messed up the telegram.

"I know, you don't need to remind me all the time."

The strong, tough, and unshakable spirit returned to Sheng Huaixuan's face. He sighed imperceptibly and said, "Anyway, this is a good thing, a great victory for us. This kid gave me the biggest surprise. The jackals, leopards, and demons of the imperial headquarters and highest council are probably exploding with anger if they know."

"The advantage that the flood brought to them is gone. Now it's our turn."

He pondered for a moment and said, "After you go back, draft a commendation telegram for disaster relief, and publish this telegram in all the newspapers in East Qin Prefecture, but don't mention Changshan County."

"Contact Shengzhou and Nanzhou and tell them that I agree to the conditions. But there is an additional request, to make the theme of 'Is procedure more important or is life more important?' and cover all their media for at least a month."

"Notify Lei Renjie to tell Lin Wen not to release any of the captured spies. They should all be kept in prison, and no one can use them."

"Also, tell him that the governor's mansion will distribute some disaster relief funds later, so he doesn't have to worry."

In a very short period of time, Governor Sheng Huaixuan made countless decisions, from stabilizing the situation to counterattacking and settling accounts, almost without any mistakes. Mei Xingan and Ling Huayue could not find any errors.

That man came back again.Mei Xingan and Ling Huayue were both pleased in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces, only returning to their usual appearances.

Ling Huayue had once again become the cold and noble ice princess, jotting down all of her subordinates while filling in details in her mind and already assigning tasks.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Lord Governor, after sending the telegram, Lei Renjie told me that Lin Wen's killing method was clean and precise, and his control over muscles and strength had reached its peak, even surpassing his own. Obviously, that kid is not an ordinary practitioner. Let's carefully investigate his background and we should be able to dig up a lot of information."

Sheng Huaixuan shook his head. "It's not important. Don't do anything unnecessary."

Ling Huayue lowered his head without speaking, but his expression showed that he had not given up.

Mei Xingan looked at the last part of the telegram and suddenly laughed, coughing and saying, "Little Sheng, the young master admires you so much that he remembers every glorious thing you've done."

Sheng Huaixuan's expression remained unchanged, just shaking his head slightly. "He's too impetuous and narrow-minded. Let him see how big this world is and know a little about the heights and depths of the sky and earth. It's also a good thing."

Mei Xingan pointed to the extra part attached to the end of the telegram. "Look, they compared the young you and Lin Wen. The young master is working hard to defend you."

At this moment, Sheng Huaixuan had no more doubts. He looked at it for a moment and commented, "You can't compare like that. This kid is still immature and only sees the surface."

"At that time, although I had a small official position, I had a lot of power, and Li Longxing, who was already the crown prince, stood behind me."

"But Lin Wen had no support other than the military power I gave him. And what he faced was not a battle that someone of his level should have faced - my enemies turned to attack him."

"He even sent Lei Renjie away, probably indicating that he didn't want to take sides too quickly and get involved in the struggles of the empire's high levels. But his actions were almost like walking through the minefield of the empire."

"It can be said that he has great courage, to the point where even I am a little doubtful. But he is not without courage and strategy. He is not a simple brute. It can be said that these actions of his are contradictory."

"But."

Sheng Huaixuan showed a rarely seen expression, even with a hint of nostalgia and cunning.

"Isn't this just a young person?"

Mei Xingan coughed twice and laughed, "It's no wonder that Little Sheng is much more perceptive than this useless old man."

Sheng Huaixuan smiled and suddenly remembered something, adding a few more sentences.

"By the way, try to block the news of Changshan County as much as possible. There can be no public reports, and any reporters entering Changshan County must be stopped. All information about it is prohibited from spreading at the official level.""Be stricter with the investigation during this period. Even if we can't stop all of Yu Zhongxian's spies and agents, at least make it harder for them."

"Also, remember to have Lei Renjie pass on to Lin Wen that he must be careful at this time, be cautious and not make any rash moves, and avoid careless mistakes."

"They have suffered a disastrous defeat now, but we must guard against their desperate counterattacks. When my plan is fully executed and their doom is imminent, then he can boldly act without any worries."
