reed.After a short conversation with Qiao Xiaoqiao, Xia Tian hung up and dialed Leng Bingbing's number.The call was answered quickly by Leng Bingbing’s somewhat cold voice: "Luo Bingbing from the East...Chapter 1189: Special Review Team

"There's a problem," Zhao Mingfeng nodded. "The Military Commission’s special review team will be here tomorrow. I just received the news; this review is targeted at Xia Tian, and it seems to bring some trouble."

“What” Mei'er was shocked. "Uncle Zhao, what's going on Why are they suddenly reviewing him"

"Then, what exactly is this special review team" Xia Tian asked from the side, a bit puzzled.

Xia Tian, the specifics regarding this are quite complicated, but simply put, the special review team wields significant power; they can decide on each member's fate in our covert unit, including the group leader. Zhao Mingfeng’s expression was rather serious. "However, since the establishment of our covert unit, no such special review team has ever conducted a review of the group leaders before. This is the first time in decades, so the situation seems quite unusual and there must be someone behind it pushing for this."

"Uncle Zhao, do you mean that someone doesn’t want Xia Tian to continue as the covert unit’s leader" Mei'er immediately understood.

Zhao Mingfeng nodded. "Exactly. Otherwise, the review team wouldn't be targeting Xia Tian and would not have acted so hastily without giving us time to prepare."

"If they don’t want me to be the leader, then I won’t be. I wasn’t too eager about being a group leader anyway," Xia Tian said nonchalantly. If it weren’t for Mei'er and Mu Han, he wouldn't have bothered with the position of covert unit leader at all.

"In the summer, I know you're not very eager to be the group leader, but that's one thing; being forced out by others is another. Even if you don't want it, you should resign yourself rather than being forcibly removed by others. Isn't that right" Zhao Mingfeng seemed to understand Xia Tian’s personality well and immediately grasped the crucial point to persuade him.

Xia Tian nodded: "That's correct. If I don't want this position anymore, I'll leave on my own; it shouldn't be up to those fools to dictate to me."

Glancing at Mei'er, Xia Tian added: "Well, if I'm not the group leader anymore, I’ll take Mei’er wife with me too. The blonde wife has to come along as well—I don’t want anyone else telling me what to do about my wives."

Hearing this, Zhao Mingfeng immediately panicked. What was he talking about If both Mei'er and Mu Han left, the Dark Squad's strength would be greatly reduced. As it stood now, Mu Han and Mei’er were the strongest members of the Dark Squad—excluding Xia Tian whom Zhao Mingfeng never really considered a full-fledged member but more like a part-timer.

"Don't talk about that for now; I'm not leaving, nor is Mu Han at this moment. So you must stay and be the group leader." Mei'er looked at Xia Tian and said, "We should think of ways to deal with this inspection."

“Mei’er is right,” Zhao Mingfeng nodded. “I’m trying to find out the reasons for this inspection and what aspects it will cover. The two of you also need to prepare yourselves; Mei’er, gather some relevant information as well. Regardless of what happens, we have to be prepared before meeting with the inspection team tomorrow.”

“Husband, there's a call…” Xia Tian’s phone rang at this moment.

Xia Tian picked up his phone and immediately answered: "Big Demoness wife, did you miss me again"

"I don't want to talk to you at all." The caller was Zhao Yujie, with a hint of playful pout in her tone. "Hey, are you currently at the Dark Group's base"

"Yes, how did you know" Summer sounded a bit puzzled.

"Big Brother told me," Zhao Yujie didn't hide anything. "He said that you're currently having some trouble because the Special Review Team wants to replace you as the Dark Group's leader. You should already be aware of this, right"

"You mean about this I just heard about it." Summer replied.

"Big Brother asked me to inform you that our Zhao family can't help with this matter—it’s not that we can’t, but due to some commitments, we cannot directly intervene," Zhao Yujie said softly. "However, Big Brother assured me that the review will be conducted fairly under the law, so if you truly have what it takes to be a Dark Group leader, there shouldn't be any issues."

"Mischievous devil wife, are you trying to tell me that this behind-the-scenes schemer is none other than the idiot Ye Zhifeng" Summer asked after some thought.

"I didn’t say that," Zhao Yujie denied it.

"You may not have said it outright, but we understand each other. I know you’re thinking this way." Summer spoke in all seriousness.

"Just go ahead and make things up; I don't believe you anyway," Zhao Yujie said with a sniff, "I'm not going to argue with you anymore. My brother told me that the inspection team will focus on three aspects during this review: first is whether or not you have the qualifications to be the Dark Team's leader, since there are rumors saying you're already as good as useless, so they think you don't deserve it; secondly, there are claims that you haven't truly fulfilled your duties after becoming the Dark Team’s leader; and thirdly, an investigation into the members of the Dark Team. The inspection team believes you have no authority within the Dark Team, and most people aren’t willing to accept you as their leader. So prepare for these three aspects."

"Big Demoness wife, I think I can just go and take care of that idiot Ye Zhi Feng directly," Xia Tian said offhand.

"No! That would only make things more complicated!" Zhao Yujie hurriedly said. "In any case, listen to me first: don’t worry about Ye Zhi Feng for now; my brother will take care of him."

"Alright then," Xia Tian agreed reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll leave it at that and hang up now as I need to attend to other matters. You start preparing for this too." Zhao Yujie ended the call promptly.

Xia Tian put away his phone and looked at Meier: "I know what those idiotic inspectors want to do to me."

Wind Pavilion, Residence of Ye Feng.

"Mr. Ye, the murderer who shot A9 has been found, but we haven’t figured out exactly who it is because the perpetrator is dead," Cheng Zhi Gao was quietly briefing Ye Zhi Feng on the situation.

"No need to tell me, just tell Miss Yi. If she believes it, then I will too."

"Yes, Mr. Yue, I'll explain everything to Miss Yi," Cheng ZhiGao hurriedly replied.

After a brief pause, Cheng ZhiGao cautiously asked again, "Mr. Yue, there's something I'm not sure whether or not I should tell you."

"If you think it shouldn't be said, then don't say anything at all. Since you've already started speaking, just say it!" Yue ZhiFeng sternly said.

"Mr. Yue, yesterday when I originally planned to go to Yi Ren Pavilion to explain the murderer situation to Miss Yi, unexpectedly I met Xia Tian, who was coming out of Yi Ren Pavilion at that time..." As Cheng ZhiGao spoke, he observed Yue ZhiFeng's reaction, and upon noticing a change in Yue ZhiFeng’s expression turning grim, he immediately stopped talking.

"What Do you also want to use this matter to embarrass me" Yue ZhiFeng coldly looked at Cheng ZhiGao with obvious anger in his eyes.

"No, no, Mr. Yue, it's a misunderstanding, I truly didn't mean that, I just think Miss Yi might really have something going on with Xia Tian..." Cheng ZhiGao hurriedly explained, looking somewhat disconcerted.

"Enough! I don't need you to tell me these things!" Yue ZhiFeng suddenly stood up. "Now get out of here!"

"Yes, I'm leaving right now." Cheng Zighao looked very displeased but didn't dare to say more. He hurriedly left.

The sound of a loud bang echoed as Yue Zhifeng slammed his palm onto the table beside him, shattering it instantly!

At this moment, a faint voice entered Yue Zhifeng's ears: "Sir Yue, why bother getting angry at someone like Cheng Zighao I told you before, there isn't a single talent in the Cheng family."

The anger on Yue Zhifeng's face quickly dissipated. In just a few seconds, he had returned to normal and turned his head towards the door with a faint smile: "Gongzi, you arrived earlier than I expected."

"Sir Yue, originally I planned to have dinner with you tonight, but something else came up, so I decided to come an hour early," Zhao Gongzi calmly walked into the room.

"Then let's just have a cup of tea together." Yue Zhifeng gestured for him to sit down. "Please take a seat."

Zhao Gongzi naturally wouldn't be rude and sat down without hesitation, while Yue Zhifeng also took his seat shortly after. Soon enough, someone brought them two cups of tea.

Yue Zhifeng picked up his teacup, slowly sipped the tea, then set it back down: "Gongzi, I know why you're here. But what I don't understand is whether you want to help Xia Tian or me Or perhaps do as I said and mind your own business."here were people inside.Of course, the fact was that someone was indeed inside right now.
