Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Master Cheng watched their bickering before walking over and saying to Ye Wangchuan, “Coincidentally, I was looking for you too.”

Master Cheng was an elder.

Ye Wangchuan politely stood up and gave up his seat. After forcing him to take his seat, he asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

Master Cheng was originally quite embarrassed to take his seat, but when asked about serious matters, he forgot about this small awkwardness and said seriously, “It’s not a big deal.”

At this moment, the sound of a door opening came from outside.

Because Master Cheng was immersed in his thoughts, he did not notice that Qiao Nian had returned. He continued, “Someone from the reclusive families contacted me and said the Empress wants to see me. From his voice, it seems he wants me to enter the Privy Council…”

The last part was his guess. The other party did not say it directly.

However, the hint was obvious.

Ye Wangchuan narrowed his eyes. “Enter the Privy Council?”

At this moment, Qiao Nian walked in with the takeout and interrupted calmly, “They must have their eyes on the Tsar’s technology.”

There was another reason she did not mention.

It was easy to guess what Nie Qingru and the reclusive families were thinking. Other than seeing Master Cheng personally, they probably wanted to use Master Cheng’s safety as leverage to restrain her.

Once Master Cheng entered the Privy Council, Nie Qingru and the elders could use Master Cheng to negotiate with her in the future.

If she didn’t agree, they could further force her to lower her head by making use of Master Cheng.

Qiao Nian understood this, but she did not say it.

“Sister Qiao?” Qin Si turned around and saw her. His voice was loud and clear.

Qiao Nian held the takeout in one hand and took her baseball cap back to her seat with the other. She placed the takeout on the table and went to the fridge to get a bottle of ice water.

Master Cheng looked at her in surprise as the girl pulled out a chair and sat down handsomely. She unscrewed the bottle’s cap and gulped down two mouthfuls of water. Then, she screwed it again and put the bottle aside.

“They want to get the Tsar’s data from me?” Master Cheng looked a little angry.

Qiao Nian casually placed her hand on the table, looked at him, and calmly said, “We weakened 40% of the Tsar’s power for the weapons exhibition. Perhaps the people who attended the weapons exhibition are not fools. Many people can tell that the Tsar’s power is not limited to this.

“Under these circumstances, it’s normal for various factions to be tempted to get the Tsar’s technology for themselves.”

The First Research Institute had not produced advanced weapons in the past 20 years. In a way, not much progress had been made in weapons manufacturing in the past few years.

In such an environment, who would not want to take the Tsar for themselves when the originally inconspicuous Beijing suddenly appeared?

Didn’t Lu Zhi come from the illegal district to look for Master Cheng exactly because of the Tsar?

Even Lu Zhi wanted to get involved. Of course, the reclusive families also wanted to get involved with the Tsar.

Moreover, although this suggestion seemed an exception and gave Master Cheng huge honor and opportunity, it was actually a sure win for them.

“Hmph, they wish.” Master Cheng understood and became even angrier. He had no intention of entering the Privy Council at all. “The Ninth Branch spent so much money and time to develop the Tsar. I can’t reveal the confidential data. There’s no need to talk about the Privy Council or the reclusive families. At my age, I don’t care about these empty titles! If I did, I wouldn’t have returned to China back then.”
