The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 515 Joy of Life 71

The building in the west of the city, its outer walls painted a dark gray, resembled a ferocious beast lying in wait, exuding an ominous aura.

Even on this sunny afternoon, the building still exudes a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

However, it's understandable; the recent upheavals within the Control Yuan have left many of its staff feeling uneasy.

After all, since its establishment, the Censorate has been an independent entity in the entire Qing Kingdom, and no department or institution can thoroughly investigate it.

Even the emperor had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Censorate, because the Censorate was established to check and balance imperial power.

However, at some point, the focus of the Censorate shifted, gradually transforming from an entity that restrained imperial power into a sharp weapon in Emperor Qing's hands.

However, with Chen Pingping's skillful methods, he had long since turned the Supervisory Council into his own personal fiefdom.

No one dared to say 'no' to him, and no one would criticize him for doing anything wrong.

The crowd was like living machines, obediently carrying out Chen Pingping's every order.

This includes adding a new position, the Supervisor, to the existing power structure, which is above the eight departments, and appointing a teenager named Fan Xian to this position, which is second only to the head of the Supervisory Council.

No one objected to this, because those who did were all dead.

So even though the entire Third Bureau and the Fourth Bureau were killed in the rescue of Fan Xian, and the latter was severely injured, Fan Xian still became the Director of the Overwatch Council.

Now, at Fan Xian's request, Chen Pingping has issued an order to the Overwatch Council to break out of prison, and everyone knows just how outrageous this move is.

But since this was Director Chen's decision, they could only carry it out without hesitation. Of course, most importantly, they never expected that the Control Yuan would actually fail.

Although they knew the consequences of doing so beforehand, they were still somewhat apprehensive when that day actually arrived.

The Censorate gathers the best talents in the world. Even a mere clerk like Wang Qinian possesses unparalleled lightness skills and agility. Not to mention the other higher-ranking members, who among them doesn't have some kind of ability?

In addition, the Censorate's aloof position and the power it wielded over other departments of the court made its members extremely arrogant.

But now, after being hit hard by Emperor Qing, he was immediately 'drunk' into a daze.

Superman, who used to avoid them like the plague, is now attacking the Overwatch Council like a starving wild dog.

These people, with the Emperor Qing's decree in hand, stormed into the Censorate and began a large-scale search.

In fact, Lin Ruofu remained calm from beginning to end, ordering his subordinates to stop when necessary, and trying his best to maintain the last bit of harmony with the Censorate.

However, for the Control Yuan, conducting a thorough investigation is itself a great insult and offense.

With their arrogance, how could they possibly accept it?

However, since Dean Chen did not give any clear instructions, they had to endure it.

However, as time went on, their unease grew, and they began to speculate about what Chen Pingping was really thinking.

The person who wants to investigate them this time is not an ordinary court official, but Emperor Qing, the ruler of this country, who holds the chains of the beast that is the Censorate.

The Overwatch Council has grown to its current size entirely thanks to Emperor Qing's support. Without Emperor Qing's backing, the Overwatch Council would have been devoured by various forces immediately.

Moreover, even the most powerful Censorate cannot contend with the entire nation. Once Emperor Qing decides to eliminate the Censorate, they will all face certain death.

No one wants to die if they can live. Even Wang Qinian, a former notorious bandit, hesitated before taking his own life. How much more so would so many people in the Censorate be fearless of death?

Some even boldly speculate that Emperor Qing's trust in the Censorate is evident to all, and that His Majesty would never abandon such a valuable institution as the Censorate for overseeing officials.

So it's highly likely that the Dean is plotting something, just like the recent turmoil in the Supervisory Council. Wasn't that a trap deliberately set by the Dean to eliminate dissidents? This time it's probably the same, right?

As a result, everyone's attention turned to Chen Pingping.

Suddenly, the pressure on Chen Pingping increased dramatically.

Deep inside the Control Yuan is a secret room with its windows completely covered by black cloth, cutting off all outside light.

There were only a few scattered candlesticks in the room, their tiny flames flickering and barely illuminating the dark space.

Chen Pingping sat quietly in his wheelchair, his gaze fixed on the nearest candlestick, the tiny flame flickering in his eyes.

But his thoughts had indeed drifted far away, and he kept thinking about how he could regain Emperor Qing's trust.

The Overwatch Council was something Ye Qingmei left behind, and he absolutely could not let this hard work go to waste.

He was determined to hand over the Supervisory Council intact to Ye Qingmei's son, Fan Xian.

Therefore, he needed to handle everything properly in the capital before Fan Xian returned.

However, Emperor Qing was a very narrow-minded and selfish person. Once someone was identified as a traitor by him, it was almost impossible to regain his trust.

It seems he needs to find a way to divert Emperor Qing's attention, to shift the emperor's focus from the Censorate to something else, such as... the Second Prince?

This will not only temporarily alleviate the pressure on the Supervisory Council, but also pave the way for Fan Xian's return to the capital, ensuring that he will not face greater threats upon his return.

Just as Chen Pingping began to ponder how to drag Li Chengze into the mess, Shadow pushed open the door and walked in.

Shadow is both the head of the Sixth Bureau and Chen Pingping's personal bodyguard.

The two were together day and night, and knew each other very well.

Even though Shadow was wearing a heavy mask that completely concealed his expression, Chen Pingping still managed to detect the subtle unease emanating from Shadow, thanks to their years of tacit understanding and his own keen perception.

"What happened?" Chen Pingping asked, looking at the shadow with a hint of doubt in her voice.

Shadow remained silent for a moment, then silently handed over the note in his hand.
