This bodyguard is too invincible-Chapter 783: Chen Bu’e is Taken Down
Morning, Imperial Capital.
Chen Bu’e sat in his office, looking at the document in front of him, his eyes filled with a grave concentration.
He had just received news that the City Lord of the Harbor City, Lou Wentian, had been falsely accused and suddenly arrested.
Chen Bu’e sighed, it seemed that the mysterious force wanting to assassinate Lin Shuang had extremely terrifying methods. Their power was frighteningly immense.
Even people from Chen Bu’e’s faction had been taken down, showing just how powerful the opposition was.
While Chen Bu’e was looking at the document.
Outside the office, at the Intelligence Agency’s compound.
A large fleet of Audis with special license plates sped towards the location.
Dozens of Audis stopped at the entrance of the Intelligence Agency, and a group of men in black suits got out of the cars and walked briskly into the compound.
The security guard at the entrance, upon seeing this, moved to intercept, "Stop! This is the Intelligence Agency! A confidential unit! No one can enter without a special pass..."
But the men in black suits simply pulled out their work credentials, "We are from the Imperial Capital’s Integrity Commission! We are here on official business, and no one shall obstruct us!"
Seeing these credentials, the guard’s face changed color.
...
Inside the office.
"Report!" a guard rushed into the office, anxiously reporting, "Chen Shou! Something has happened! A large group from the Integrity Commission suddenly arrived outside the compound, claiming they are here on official business, and now they’re about to force their way in! Should we stop them?"
"Oh? The Integrity Commission?" Chen Bu’e slightly started at the news, "Why stop them? Let them in."
With this, the guard turned and left.
Soon, a group of men in suits and leather shoes barged into the office.
"Marshal Chen Bu’e, we are from the Imperial Capital’s Integrity Commission! We’ve received a tip-off from the people, accusing you of misappropriating public funds and bribery! Please come with us for an investigation, we need your cooperation!" the group of men in suits declared solemnly.
"How dare you! Our Chen Shou is incorruptible. When has he ever embezzled or taken bribes? You are clearly making false accusations!" The guards at the door couldn’t listen any longer and stepped forward to berate them!
Chen Shou’s integrity... was well known throughout the military establishment.
Naturally, the guards wanted to stand up for him.
"Whether there’s embezzlement or bribery can only be confirmed after an investigation. You and I can’t prove anything with mere words," the officials from the Integrity Commission retorted coldly.
Outside the office door, the guards were angered and ready to expel the visitors.
The people from the Integrity Commission were being too presumptuous and excessive.
However, Chen Bu’e suddenly raised a hand, signaling for the guards to stand down.
Chen Bu’e lit a cigar and took a deep breath, "Ha... the people really have some nerve, going as far as to accuse me. Since you want to investigate, then investigate. I will cooperate with your inquiry."
"Thank you, Marshal Chen, for understanding. For the sake of propriety, you will be temporarily suspended from duty while under investigation, and the Intelligence Agency will undergo a full investigation. All Intelligence Agency activities will be halted for now. Please understand!" the Integrity Commission team leader said gravely.
Chen Bu’e exhaled a ring of smoke and nodded slowly, "I understand."
"Then please follow us, Marshal Chen," the Integrity Commission team leader requested.
The Integrity Commission, being Yanxia’s special law enforcement body, could disregard any person’s authority and directly investigate them. Therefore, they had no reservations before Chen Bu’e.
"Wait for me outside the office until I finish this cigar," Chen Bu’e said indifferently.
The people from the Integrity Commission nodded and all withdrew.
The guard closed the office door.
Chen Bu’e smoked his cigar, pondering for a few minutes.
Then he made a phone call to Lin Shuang.
"Lin Shuang, I can’t protect you this time. The City Lord of Harbor City has been stripped of his power and taken away for investigation. I’ve also been targeted by the Integrity Commission, accused of embezzlement and bribery. I will be temporarily suspended," Chen Bu’e said with a heavy tone.
Swoosh! On the other end of the phone, Lin Shuang’s expression became tense, "What? They dare to go after you too?"
Chen Bu’e shook his head with a sigh, "The force trying to kill you... they have enormous power, and it’s certain that they hold a high position within the Forbidden City, a status far above mine. Lin Shuang, you take care. From here on, you will have to rely on yourself. I can’t help with the Harbor City situation anymore. Still, I will send Shen Huang to support you."
"How long will you be suspended? Do you need me to send the Hades Army over?" Lin Shuang asked seriously on the phone. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Chen Bu’e shook his head, "No, don’t use the Hades Army. Do not expose your strength. The enemy lurks in the shadows while you’re in the open, and you still don’t know the identity or rank of the opponent. Act rashly... and you will only be at a disadvantage. Besides... Yanxia Territory prohibits the entry of mercenaries, which must be respected."
"But what about you?" Lin Shuang sounded worried.
"Ha, you worry about this old man? What can happen to me? I have commanded the armed forces, and though I have stepped back now, they can’t touch me. Moreover, I haven’t embezzled; one whose conscience is clear fears no slander. At most, I’ll be under investigation for a few days, and then things will be fine. Don’t worry," Chen Bu’e assured lightly.
Reassured, Lin Shuang then felt at ease on the other end of the call.
Chen Bu’e reminded him of a few more things before hanging up the phone.
By then, the half-consumed cigar in his hand was also finished.
There was a knock on the door, "Marshal Chen, have you finished your cigar?"
Chen Bu’e snuffed out the cigar, sighed, and stood up.
"Ah, the skies over the Temple of the Imperial Capital seem about to stir up a storm. Lin Shuang, I hope you can survive this."
