Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Dongshen Financial Group Emergency Incident

Qin Tianxuan walked out of the Li Family Villa and stood on a road bustling with traffic. He gazed north at the vast sky, his heart heavy with worry.

The Northern Domain, the Northern Domain that was always on his mind.

Those were the Outer Lands where he had fought and struggled.

Now, the Northern Domain was facing a critical crisis, but he was too far away to help, able only to wait for news in this prosperous city!

’When have I, Night Emperor Celestial Profound, ever held back like this?’

He was silent for a long time, his gaze growing increasingly resolute!

Taking out his phone, he opened a secure channel and connected to Battle Pavilion Wutian, who was on the second line far away in the Northern Domain.

”Prepare an elite force. Take the secret path around Beimo Niu Shou Hill and go straight into the heart of the Celestial Demon territory. I will return to the Northern Domain in secret soon to personally command this squad!”

Wutian said, overjoyed, ”My Lord, you’re finally coming back? I’ll start preparations at once. The plan will be ready in less than ten days!”

To catch the bandits, first catch their king. To shoot a man, first shoot his horse!

The best way to deal with the remnants of the Celestial Demons was to act as a dagger, stabbing directly into the heart of their main camp!

”Wutian, I saw many of our old brothers today. They’re all retired. They poured their blood and youth into the lands of the Northern Domain. I will not allow the powerful and privileged of the Imperial Capital and that bunch of incompetents to continue this farce!”

”We will not yield a single inch of the Northern Domain!”

”As you command!” It wasn’t just Wutian; men from the Six Halls and the Ninth Army roared back from the other end of the secure line!

Qin Tianxuan put his phone away. He had finally made the decision. ’But how am I going to tell my daughter when I get back?’

This battle plan was actually extremely risky. He was no longer the all-powerful Night Emperor of the past and might face unforeseeable dangers!

And then there was Han Biwei.

’She’s always been so gentle and kind, working tirelessly to create a warm home. If I leave without saying goodbye, I’d really be letting her down.’

At that moment, Han Biwei was waiting anxiously inside that special RV.

She didn’t know who he was calling, and outside, there seemed to be a few handsome men standing guard.

She couldn’t help but open the window and take a quiet peek.

Outside the RV, some of the Personal Guards were concealed in the shrubbery, others were hidden in the trees by the road, and a few were disguised as pedestrians, patrolling the area.

”Ma’am, the wind is picking up. You should close the window.”

The voice came from directly overhead.

Han Biwei jumped. She looked up and was startled to see a fully camouflaged guard lying on the roof.

He wore a specially made camouflage uniform that was the exact same color as the roof rack, making it almost impossible to tell he was a person.

”My apologies, Ma’am. Did I startle you?”

”No, it’s not that...” Han Biwei said, amazed. ”You’re all so professional. I’ve never seen... such professionals. But how can Tianxuan afford to hire bodyguards like you?”

She had many other questions. ’This RV, for instance... earlier, I saw markings that said it was ”bulletproof”.’

’A bulletproof vehicle! I’d only ever heard of them before, but this is my first time riding in one!’

The guard on the roof lowered his voice and said, ”Ma’am, we aren’t hired. We are guards who follow Mr. Qin voluntarily!”

Han Biwei grew even more suspicious. ”I know you’re disciplined, but please tell me, what was Tianxuan’s rank when he was in the Battle Department?”

”I’m sorry, Ma’am, but we can’t discuss that!”

The Personal Guard drew back and resumed his vigilant watch of the surroundings, even though there was no conceivable danger.

This was the most prosperous district in Su City, after all.

Han Biwei sat back down in her seat, her thoughts in a jumble.

’Those people who follow Qin Tianxuan... I always thought they were his business partners or something, but ever since I learned the identity of the Divine Doctor, Lingsu, I knew I was wrong.’

’Embarrassingly wrong. Every single one of them is a hidden powerhouse with incredible skills.’

’Sigh. What is Qin Tianxuan hiding from me?’

’And why hide it?’

She gently tapped her head, and with a soft THUD, a stack of documents fell from behind the seat.

Han Biwei hurriedly picked them up and couldn’t resist flipping them open.

’Ah, what’s this?’

A blood-red seal on a shocking official document!

It was from the highest authorities, and its wording was incredibly severe!

”Strip Qin Tianxuan of all Battle Department privileges!”

”Revoke all credit for Qin Tianxuan’s achievements!”

”Rescind all of Qin Tianxuan’s command authority!”

”Retain only his record as a common soldier of the Battle Department!”

...

One harsh penalty after another; they were punitive orders that even Han Biwei could understand.

A tremor ran through her.

Outside, she heard footsteps approaching.

Han Biwei quickly tucked the documents away, a sense of understanding dawning on her.

’He must have been a high-ranking officer in the Battle Department before. But then he made some kind of mistake, had all his privileges revoked, and was reduced to the rank of a common soldier...’

Outside, Qin Tianxuan had returned. He gave a slight gesture, and the Personal Guards stationed in various positions quietly withdrew.

Just as Qin Tianxuan was about to take Han Biwei home, his phone suddenly vibrated.

He glanced at the screen and answered, ”Qin Tianxuan speaking.”

”Mr. Qin, this is the management committee of the Dongshen Financial Group. Some of the senior executives are very worried; we have an urgent matter to report to you!”

Qin Tianxuan frowned. ”If it’s about Dongshen, find Prince. I don’t handle the financial group’s business!”

”Sir!” The voice on the other end sounded on the verge of tears. ”The Marquis is currently with the Northern Domain Battle Department, and we can’t reach him by phone.”

Oh. Qin Tianxuan smiled ruefully. ”My mistake. I’d forgotten about that. Go ahead, what’s the emergency?”

”It’s about Madam Han Biwei! She submitted her resume to our HR department for an ordinary sales associate position, and we... we don’t dare to make a decision!”
