BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20 - Chen Beiguo
“Such a mighty display, Young Master Qin. One phone call, and you’ve dismissed the head of my Donghai City Police Department. I wonder if you plan to dismiss me, the governor?”
The space began to distort like ripples, and then a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance appeared out of thin air.
He was expressionless, exuding an air of authority that made people shiver with fear. Behind him followed many imposing dignitaries.
Seeing this middle-aged man, everyone’s face showed a look of awe, and they all bowed in greeting: “Greetings, Governor!”
This man was none other than the governor of Donghai Province, the 68th-level Spirit Controller, Chen Beiguo!
However, Qiu Bo, standing beside Qin Xian, as well as the other Qin family powerhouses, remained expressionless, standing there with particular rudeness.
They were the powerhouses under the Qin family’s command, loyal family servants. Although Chen Beiguo was the governor of Donghai, a frontier official of high status. He had no authority over them.
In their eyes, there was only Qin Xian, to whom they were steadfastly loyal. Aside from that, they would even ignore the Regent himself!
Qiu Bo’s face showed a solemn expression; Chen Beiguo was a 68th-level powerhouse, such strength that made him a top expert in the human world!
Qin Xian squinted slightly, then smiled and said: “Governor, you must be joking; you are a provincial governor, a frontier official.”
“To dismiss you would require a meeting and discussion by the Imperial Cardinal Council and the Imperial Parliament, followed by a decision by the Regent.”
He didn’t expect Chen Beiguo to return so quickly. Chen Beiguo had left Donghai City to deal with the Void Sacrifice incident. In fact, that incident was part of Qin Xian’s plan.
The Void Sacrifice event was orchestrated by Qin Xian to lure Chen Beiguo away. Chen Beiguo had been the governor of Donghai Province for many years and had high prestige. If he hadn’t left, many things Qin Xian wouldn’t have been able to do.
For example, today’s operation to capture Lin Yu; if Chen Beiguo had been present, Qin Xian might have been stopped before he could even act!
Qin Xian thought Chen Beiguo would return tomorrow or the day after. He hadn’t expected him to suddenly return to Donghai City now.
However, Qin Xian wasn’t too surprised as Chen Beiguo wasn’t a simple character. Or rather, no one who could sit in the position of a governor would be a simple character. They were all heroes of their time!
Now that he had already controlled Lin Yu, the situation was set. Even Chen Beiguo couldn’t stop him…
Chen Beiguo stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Qin Xian with a slight frown. Upon learning of the events in Donghai City, he immediately sensed something amiss and returned directly.
The Qin family dared to act in the city and kill, suggesting there was something significant behind this, possibly some great secret!
Moreover, Donghai City was the capital of Donghai Province, a major stronghold of the Empire. Such a significant event required his return to oversee.
Looking at the downtown area reduced to ruins and the countless civilians who had died miserably, Chen Beiguo’s expression remained unchanged, though a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
How audacious of the Qin family, to be so wanton and arrogant!
He and the Qin family were not on the same path. He was personally promoted by the Regent, Lu Ji, and was Lu Ji’s confidant. And he knew that the Regent Lu Ji and the Chief Executive Qin Ming, the two giants, had always been secretly competing.
So he returned immediately to see what the Qin family was really up to!
Chen Beiguo glanced at Lin Yu, who had been restrained, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
A level 52 powerhouse, such strength was already among the top experts. To have hidden in Donghai City for so many years! And the Qin family did not hesitate to use so many resources to capture him; there must be some unknown secret behind him!
Chen Beiguo said lightly, “Is this the Void believer you mentioned?”
Qin Xian smiled slightly, his expression unchanged, and nodded: “Yes, the Empire’s Police Department and the Department of Decrees have been investigating him for a long time, and I have been granted temporary investigative authority. So, does the Governor want to take a look?”
“No need.” Chen Beiguo replied indifferently.
The Empire’s Police Department and the Department of Decrees were controlled by the Qin family; weren’t those procedures and documents just made up? There’s no point in dwelling on it.
He looked at Lin Yu and said solemnly: “But this is the territory of Donghai Province; I am responsible for any Void believers here. Hand him over to me, and we’ll handle the rest in Donghai Province.”
“As for the orders from the Empire’s Police Department and the Department of Decrees, I’ll explain them to Minister Sun and Minister Qin.”
The already desperate Lin Yu felt a glimmer of hope when he heard these words. If he fell into Chen Beiguo’s hands, there might still be a chance to survive!
Hearing this, Qin Xian’s smile gradually faded. Chen Beiguo intended to use his position as governor to forcibly take Lin Yu away. And this was something Qin Xian found hard to refuse!
After all, this was Donghai Province and Governor Chen Beiguo had jurisdiction over anything and anyone in Donghai Province. There were many secrets on Lin Yu, not to mention the K77 massacre.
The secret alone was enough for Qin Xian not to hand Lin Yu over to Chen Beiguo! If Lin Yu fell into Chen Beiguo’s hands, who knew what other variables might arise…
Qin Xian glanced at the restrained Lin Yu, and a smile reappeared on his face. He decisively refused: “There’s no need; Void believers… must be killed! There’s nothing worth interrogating!”
Qiu Bo immediately understood Qin Xian’s intentions and manipulated the flame spear in front of Lin Yu, piercing his heart! The terrifying fiery energy shattered Lin Yu’s life force!
Lin Yu screamed, a look of disbelief still on his face, as if he couldn’t believe he was dead! Bleeding continuously, he used his last strength to look at his adopted son, Lin Feng.
He whispered with all his strength: “Live…”
Then he died!
No one expected Qin Xian to act so suddenly, not even Chen Beiguo could react in time! Qin Xian killed Lin Yu right in front of Chen Beiguo! Completely disregarding the governor’s authority!
