Chapter 587 – Who’s Against It?
”It seems that you have already chosen.” Third Uncle smiled as he sensed the change in Zhou Ping’s aura.
Zhou Ping sat in his chair for a long time, but still opened his mouth and said:
”I …… probably won’t stay.”
Third Uncle did not seem surprised by this answer, and even looked happy, smiling with his mouth grinning.
”Third uncle, what are you laughing at?” Zhou Ping asked suspiciously.
”Actually, if you said you wanted to stay, I would have been a little lost instead.” Third uncle spoke with a smile, “Staying, it means that your life, is only this local food restaurant, and me, an old man of almost fifty years old …… your circle is too small, which is not a good thing.
On the contrary, the fact that you chose to leave means that you have found a place that is more suitable for you than this small earthenware restaurant, and there …… can let you bring out the light that belongs to you.
Zhou Ping, you have grown.”
Looking at Third Uncle’s gaze, Zhou Ping froze in place.
His lips pursed slightly as he stood up from his chair and bowed deeply to the old man who had raised him with his own hands.
”Thank you Third Uncle.”
”There’s no need to thank me, I just did what an elder should do.”
Third uncle similarly stood up, casually waved his hand, put away the empty dishes in front of Zhou Ping, and took a step toward the back kitchen, “In the future, I will wash all the bowls by myself, you …… should go where you belong.
When you are tired of breaking in one day, then come back, third uncle will cook for you.”
After saying that, Third Uncle’s figure disappeared behind the curtain in the back kitchen.
Zhou Ping looked at his departing back for a long time before slowly turning around and taking one last look at this tiny old vegetable restaurant.
He pushed the door and left.
Shangjing City.
The Vigilant Headquarters.
”What? Ye Fan sat down?!”
On the empty conference table, a Night Vigil senior received this news and stood up from his chair in shock!
Several other top brass were equally shocked and froze for a long time before they slowed down and discussed like crazy.
”How did Ye Fan suddenly sit down? This ……”
”I don’t know, there wasn’t the slightest sign …… was he injured in the South China Sea when he fought against the Outer Gods?”
”Why didn’t he say anything?”
”Too sudden, a human ceiling, how did ……”
”Indeed, there was no time left for us to prepare at all.”
”With Commander Ye gone like this, who should take over the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Night’s Watch?”
”Back then, that Champion Marquis who started the Evil Suppression Division made a rule that if you don’t become a human ceiling, you can’t become the Chief Commander …… But the current Night Vigil, there hasn’t been a second ceiling level powerhouse …… ”
”One can only elect an acting commander from the top.”
Shao Pingge sat on the sidelines, listening to the conversations between several other top brass, and only felt his mind drifting a bit.
Ye Fan …… sat down?
He hadn’t been able to come out of the shock from this news until now.
He was Ye Fan’s junior, able to walk step by step from an ordinary Vigilante to the top level, becoming the Minister of Comprehensive Personnel as well as the Chief Captain of the National Vigilante Squad, and was also promoted by Ye Fan.
Ye Fan to him, have the favor of knowing.
And now …… he is dead?
He couldn’t listen to a single word of the discussion between the many top brass, and he sat on the sidelines like a statue, not moving a muscle.
Like him, there is another young senior, their common point is that they are Ye Fan step by step to bring up, and those who argued for the Commander-in-Chief’s agent, most of them are from the last era residual, the old generation of senior.
Just as the crowd was arguing, Zuo Qing pushed his way in.
He changed into the Night Watchman’s cloak and walked straight to the front of the conference table, his eyes calmly swept over the noisy conference room, and slapped the document in his hand heavily on the desktop.
Bang–!
The conference room instantly fell silent.
”Zuo Qing, what are you doing?” A senior asked with a frown.
Zuo Qing glanced at him and calmly said, “From today onwards, I will temporarily take over the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Vigilantes, and until the second Vigilant’s ceiling appears, I will be fully in charge of all the small and large affairs of the Vigilantes.”
Hearing these words, those senior members of the older generation frowned.
”Zuo Qing, you’ve only been promoted to the top level for a few years? It’s a little too early to temporarily take charge of the position of Commander in Chief …… now, isn’t it?”
”Before Commander Ye sat down, he left behind a document designating the selection of the Commander-in-Chief’s proxy, if you guys are skeptical about this resolution, you can look through it yourselves.” Zuo Qing took out a document and handed it to the top brass.
A few of the top brass took the document and carefully flipped through it, their brows frowning even tighter.
On the other hand, the other two young top brass including Shao Pingge didn’t even bother to look at the document, they were both beside Ye Fan, and naturally knew that Ye Fan was training Zuo Qing as the next commander, and it wasn’t strange that there was this resolution at this moment.
After confirming the authenticity of this document, those few executives sighed somewhat helplessly and sat back silently.
Since the document left behind by Ye Fan designated Zuo Qing’s proxy status, they naturally had nothing to object to, in the final analysis, they were all Vigilantes and needed to act according to the charter.
However, there was one senior who didn’t stop there.
It was a man in his fifties, he held this document in his hands, and with a light sweep of his gaze, he spoke with a cold smile:
”This document, you forged it.”
Hearing these words, the faces of everyone present changed.
Zuo Qing’s eyes were blazingly cold.
”He Xingwen, do you know what you’re saying?” Beside him, another senior frowned and said.
”What? Is there no such possibility?” He Xingwen spilled this document onto the table, gazed into Zuo Qing’s eyes, and slowly opened his mouth, “Zuo Qing and Ye Fan are so close, getting Ye Fan’s personal seal isn’t that difficult, can any of you prove that this document was written by Ye Fan?”
As his words fell, the brows of Shao Pingge and the other young executives frowned at the same time.
As for the other few executives, the light in their eyes flickered, as if they were pondering something, obviously a little shaken.
Zuo Qing stared into his eyes and spoke in a cold voice, “How do you want me to prove it?”
”How you prove it, I don’t care, but if you can’t come up with strong evidence, then this document will naturally have no utility.” He Xingwen said indifferently, “Without this document, then the candidate for the Commander-in-Chief’s proxy can only be elected through a vote at the top.”
Among the seven senior executives present, only Shao Pingge, Zuo Qing, and another young senior belonged to the original Ye Fan’s personal promotion, if the other three senior executives were persuaded by He Xingwen to vote, the situation would be very unfavorable for them.
The atmosphere of the entire conference room suddenly froze.
Right at this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone was stunned, and at the same time, they turned their heads to look at the black-shirted figure that walked in, shock surfacing in their eyes.
He was not ……
That black-shirted figure calmly walked to the conference table, reached out and drew out the [Dragon Elephant Sword] from the void, inserting it in the very center of the conference room!
Ding–!
The sword’s aura was profound.
The black-shirted figure stood there, his gaze sweeping over the crowd as he spoke faintly:
”I recommend Zuo Qing to be the Vigilant Commander in Chief Agent, who of you …… opposes?”
