The devoted supporters of the Chen family were eager to express their readiness to reunite with their former leader. Their decision was rooted in the knowledge that their former boss had selflessly expended his hard-earned wealth to protect their lives. These individuals were far from heartless.

Tragically, Mr. Chen’s father passed away, still carrying unresolved grievances, before he could make a comeback. Mr. Chen then assumed the mantle of responsibility in his father’s absence.

Despite Mr. Chen’s competence, he encountered a significant obstacle due to a shortage of both capital and courage. He approached life cautiously and with restraint.

However, when Mr. Chen crossed paths with Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin, he saw a new opportunity to revitalize his network by leveraging their strength. Coincidentally, Su Bin had sought his assistance in assembling a group for training.

Recognizing that Su Bin was no ordinary scholar, Mr. Chen revealed his family’s background and formed an alliance with him. In exchange for assisting his father in seeking vengeance, the Chen family’s network would be at Su Bin’s disposal, with Mr. Chen pledging his loyalty to him as his master.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Su Bin promptly accepted the offer and proved his capabilities. In just three months, he not only doubled the Chen family’s existing network but also revolutionized Mr. Chen’s business model, liberating it from financial constraints.

Previously, their intelligence network had merely sustained operations, but now it was generating substantial revenue. Mr. Chen held deep admiration for Su Bin, who had chosen to keep these accomplishments hidden from everyone except Qin Zhenzhen, for the time being.

This secrecy wasn’t intended to deceive her but rather to reveal the truth only after achieving success. Su Bin had previously visited the capital with his younger brother, ostensibly to scout for houses but actually to gather crucial information from the Chen family.

Subsequently, Su Bin relied solely on Mr. Chen’s relayed instructions to oversee all decisions remotely. Qin Zhenzhen, immersed in her business, remained unaware of Su Bin’s covert activities.

On this particular morning, Qin Zhenzhen and her grandmother gained direct access to the palace, while Su Bin and the others returned to their residence. Prior to this, Su Bin had spread the news of Qin Zhenzhen and her grandmother’s palace visit and had also assigned Mr. Chen the task of uncovering the history of Grandma Qin’s encounters within the palace.

Aware of the Empress Dowager’s longstanding grudge against Grandma Qin, Su Bin had deep concerns for the safety of Qin Zhenzhen and her party within the palace. Consequently, he had entrusted Mr. Chen with the task of devising a plan to ensure the well-being of Qin Zhenzhen and her grandmother.

In response, Mr. Chen provided reassurance to Su Bin by revealing that they had an informant among the staff attending to the Empress Dowager. This insider presence guaranteed the safety of Qin Zhenzhen and Grandma Qin, ensuring they would not be subjected to any harm.

The nanny who had accompanied Qin Zhenzhen and her entourage to the Empress Dowager’s chambers had been discreetly instructed by the household manager. This explained her vigilant reminder to Qin Zhenzhen at the outset.

While Su Bin anxiously awaited news in his study, Qin Zhenzhen and her grandmother spent the entire morning within the palace, yet there was no update on their safety. Despite Su Bin’s confidence in Mr. Chen’s arrangements, an unshakable sense of worry persisted for some inexplicable reason.

When Mr. Chen entered the room, Su Bin promptly rose from his seat and asked, “How are they?”

“They are completely safe,” Mr. Chen replied.

“Miss Qin has already administered acupuncture to the Empress Dowager once.

She has peacefully drifted off to sleep and has yet to awaken.”

“Miss Qin and Old Lady Qin have been accommodated in the same room.”

“We will learn more when the Empress Dowager wakes up.”

“The nanny assured us that any danger has passed. It’s inconceivable for the Empress Dowager to harm someone who can grant her such peaceful slumber.”

“She hasn’t experienced such a deep and undisturbed sleep in an exceedingly long time..”
