My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 224: Elders Council Structure
In the banquet hall, Jiang Chen and Bai Shou were chatting casually.

This time he said that Bai Feifei wanted to see him, but actually it was Bai Shou who was looking for him.

At this moment, the two of them strolled casually and came to the small balcony outside the banquet hall.

Leaning against the balcony railing, wine glass in hand, Bai Shou tilted his neck to look at the sky.

The moon is very bright tonight, and the key is that it won’t make weird faces like the ones in Luanjie.

He said leisurely: "It's always a headache over there."

Jiang Chen smiled: "Are you talking about the video?"

"Yeah." Bai Shou gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up. "This is a great job, but it's also a bit troublesome. You know, this wasn't just Yuan Qiuye's idea, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Of course he understands.

It was the entire Elders Council that forced his father to go to the chaotic world to carry out the dangerous mission, so Yuan Qiuye might not be the mastermind behind it.

Qian Dong is a lackey, Guan Cheng is a lackey, Ji Bo is a lackey, and in fact, even Yuan Qiuye may be a lackey. However, as the highest institution, the Elders Council cannot do too much, so it has to do it through Yuan Qiuye.

Now that Yuan Qiuye's behavior had been exposed by Jiang Chen, it made the Elders' Council very embarrassed.

我们 该 怎么 办?
What should we do with him? Maybe he will bite us back. After all, Yuan Qiuye is also level nine, almost level ten, so he is not that easy to deal with.

If not? Then what is the meaning of the association's rules?
This may be why the punishment has not been imposed.

At this moment Jiang Chen asked: "So you are coming here now, just to follow their wishes?"

Bai Shou smiled: "Your father and I are friends, and my daughter is your friend. In addition, I took you to the warehouse last time. Although it was a secret, you know that there are many procedures to go through, and it also requires support from the higher-ups. It is not absolutely confidential... So they arranged for me to be a peacemaker."

"What kind of peacemaker?"

"If you are willing not to pursue the matter, the association will give you some compensation. By the way, you know the saying that officials will not investigate unless the people report it, right? As long as the victim lets go, the matter will be easy to resolve."

"I also know that some cases are public prosecution cases, which have nothing to do with whether the people file a complaint or not."

"But the association's rules are different from the law..." Bai Shou patted Jiang Chen's shoulder: "They have the right to interpret."

Jiang Chen laughed: "What if I don't agree?"

"Then I'm in a dilemma." Bai Shou leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear and said, "Take this opportunity to ask for a good price. This is the best solution."

"Can it make Yuan Qiuye and Luo Dahao no longer dare to cause trouble to me?"

Bai Shou smiled.

He didn't say anything, but Jiang Chen understood what he meant.

Even if they agreed, do you believe it?
From the beginning to the end, Yuan Qiuye and the others never took action themselves. Even if I agree to your request, what can I do? At worst, I can send someone else to deal with you next time!
The secret of integration and the secret of delayed immigration rules are so great that so many people want them.

In other words, they were not sure that Jiang Chen had obtained it, so they were being polite.

If Jiang Chen is sure to have obtained it, he might not even bother to deal with you.

Therefore, it is meaningless to ask for such conditions. What should be done will be done, but it will be done more secretly. What the Elders Council needs to solve now is the face problem. All Jiang Chen can do is to use their face to exchange for his own benefits.

Jiang Chen asked: "What can they give me?"

Bai Shou whispered, "If you agree to let this go, they will give you 10,000 ringgits. Oh, and if you get the secret of fusion, they are willing to exchange it for a divine weapon or rule item."

Ok?
Jiang Chen was shocked. Using a divine tool or a rule item to exchange for the secret of fusion?

This is not right!
First of all, why don't they ask for a suspension of immigration rules? Instead, they only ask for the secret of integration?
Secondly, why are they so generous?
If you could buy something for a hundred dollars, would you promise ten thousand?

You have to know that for their own purposes, they were able to force even the ninth-level father, but now they are willing to trade with Jiang Chen?
This is abnormally polite!

You can trust individuals with conscience, but never trust a class with conscience!
Since those bigwigs at the association’s headquarters were unreasonable in the past, there is no reason for them to continue to be reasonable now.

After all, truth is based on strength - will the association be divided into two factions because of this?
For example, one faction wants the secret of fusion, and the other faction wants the secret of rules?

To obtain the secret of the rules, Jiang Luo must be alive, because Jiang Luo certainly cannot arrange that for Jiang Chen in advance, so the two factions have different opinions on Jiang Chen. In addition, they also have to consider the stability of the entire association to avoid causing too serious consequences, which leads to internal conflicts...

Well, you may not trust their conscience, but you can trust their greed!

This is also the reason why the Elders’ Council had a headache after the video was handed in: because there must be a faction that is taking this opportunity to demand punishment for Yuan Qiuye!
That's right!
This is reasonable!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen felt relieved.

very good!

It would be easy if you weren't united internally!
But didn't you, Bai Shou, want to be from the Secret of Rules faction? Why did you help others talk about the Secret of Fusion transaction?
Are you also an Infernal Affairs person?

Jiang Chen looked at Bai Shou with suspicion. Bai Shou had no idea of ​​the many thoughts running through his mind. He smiled and said, "How about it? Are you interested?"

Jiang Chen thought about it and asked directly: "Why did you help them get the secret of fusion?"

Bai Shou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I never said that I didn't want the secret of fusion. It's just that I am friends with your father after all, and I definitely oppose the method of coercion! If one day you get the secret of fusion and are willing to tell me, I will still be very happy."

This sounds much more reasonable!
Wanting the secret of rules does not mean giving up the secret of fusion, it’s just that the means of doing things are different. However, Jiang Chen always feels that there is something wrong here - he finds that he currently has a big gap, which is that he does not understand the internal structure of the Elders' Council well enough.

Jiang Chen asked: "By the way, how many seats are there in the Elders' Council?"

Bai Shou said, "Eleven, what?"

Eleven seats?
Jiang Chen was puzzled: "There are seven chairmen of the seven major groups, occupying seven seats, where are the remaining four?"

"official."

official?

Depend on!
Jiang Chen almost slapped himself.

How could I forget the official one?

Yes, although the Ordained Persons Association is powerful, it is ultimately subject to the control of the state. It is impossible for the state to have no power to play a role in it.

My previous judgment method was wrong. It was completely wrong to use the secret of fusion and the secret of rules to distinguish the two factions. Which faction is based on one person? No matter how awesome my father is, he doesn't have that much influence.

You said both the official faction and the opposition faction are more reliable!
Then, different styles of behavior are generated based on these factions. For example, the official faction should be more concerned with rules, while the opposition faction is more likely to act recklessly...

Jiang Chen really wanted to ask about the specific factions within the Council of Elders, but this question was too private to ask directly. He could only ask about it later. Anyway, he was now sure that the Council of Elders was not a monolithic group.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I can let go of the video matter, but I don't want the 10,000 yuan."

"Then what do you want?"

Jiang Chen was about to speak when he saw someone walking towards him from a distance. It was the fox.
