Chapter 1174: 1174: Preparing for Action

But now the situation is getting worse. The Nie Family must have been planning for a long time, placing some of their people in various industries, some of whom have already achieved considerable success. Especially in politics, the Nie Family had people involved for a long time, certainly infiltrating early on. Furthermore, due to their professions, they have consciously befriended influential figures in this domain. Now, in the eyes of some, the Nie Family’s status is quite significant.

This implies that the Nie Family might gain national support. If that happens, things will become extremely unfavorable.

Thus, the Hou Family must find evidence linking the Nie Family to the recent turmoil. Once the Nie Family’s activities are exposed, the nation definitely won’t be lenient!

Beisitian suddenly feels this resembles a struggle between ministers, where the king is the ultimate decision-maker. Whoever causes the other to lose the king’s trust wins.

However, now Beisitian and the Hou Family have aligned interests. Judging by their appearance, they genuinely want to ally with Qingyu, as for why, that question should be directed to Hou Baiyu, the young man.

The Hou Family once left midway, most likely to seek Hou Baiyu’s advice. It seems Hou Baiyu greatly values Luo Yirui, and his standing in the Hou Family once again challenges Beisitian’s understanding.

This Mrs. Hou is no idle member. Her internal status within the Hou Family is incredibly high, being one of the few remaining elders. Her Talisman skills are formidable, highlighting her identity and status.

Such a high-ranking elder now must heed the opinions of a junior, at least a generation apart, even requiring consultation for decision-making. Such a remarkable status for Hou Baiyu?

Or is there another reason?

No matter the case, anything the Nie Family touches involving bad deeds, Beisitian must fully investigate. Previously it was speculation, but with confirmation from Mrs. Hou Yue, it’s almost certain.

Having learned the objectives, they are naturally willing to cooperate with actions. Mrs. Hou Yue handed a small earphone communicator to Luo Yirui, saying, "You have been added to Bai Yu’s channel, as long as you stay within a two-kilometer range, you can maintain communication at any time!"

Luo Yirui took it, feeling familiar with the device, as he had just received another one, although the other one was earbud-like, needing to be inserted into the ear. It’s not visible from the outside. Even removing it requires specialized equipment and methods.

This one’s intended for communicating with You Hong’an.

Luo Yirui fiddled with the earpiece-like small communicator, feeling an amusing sensation within, as if he were a special agent, how interesting!

Mrs. Hou Yue quickly departed, and Beisitian reminded Luo Yirui before letting him rest. The nighttime operation was scheduled for two-thirty in the morning, right when the human biological clock is deeply asleep.

Knowing the night is critical, despite feeling too excited to sleep, Luo Yirui lit a calming incense, forcing himself to rest temporarily.

The action would last at least three hours, demanding intense focus throughout those three hours. Luo Yirui must maintain an optimal mental state.

He slept until one-thirty in the morning when he suddenly heard noises near the window. He immediately opened his eyes, walked over, and pulled the curtain aside. Sure enough, it was Little Fatty and Jing Yuansi.
