Most importantly, this is Kyoto, the heart of the Great Xia Dynasty. In the face of natural disasters, it should have been a beacon protecting the people and guiding reconstruction, but instead it has become a breeding ground for power struggles and greed.

Chen Yu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he quickly relaxed them and regained his composure.

He understood that anger and impulsiveness could not solve problems; only reason and action could bring about change.

"Uncle Qiao, I'd like to see the Chief Executive Officer. Is there any way you can arrange that?" Chen Yu asked in a deep voice.

The Qiao family held a special position. They were once a powerful clan. In that turbulent era, the entire family was sacrificed in order to resist foreign enemies. Only Qiao Gang's father, Qiao Tian, ​​survived by chance and made great contributions in battle, thus gaining merit for his service to the emperor.

Even so, because of his ancestors' powerful family background, he almost suffered in that particular era.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, Qiao Tian keenly sensed the changes in the political situation and wisely withdrew from his high position in the court. Only with the strong protection of the chief minister of the court was he able to escape a disaster.

Although Qiao Tian resigned from his high-ranking position, his honor remained, and the Qiao family thus became a highly respected yet low-key family in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Even Chen Yu was unaware of the Qiao family's history before.

He overheard Qiao Meng telling him these things by chance while they were on his pillow.

Although the Qiao family was not at the center of power, thanks to their profound family heritage, extensive network of connections, and loyalty to the country, the leaders of each dynasty maintained a special respect and care for them.

Therefore, Chen Yu asked Qiao Gang to arrange for him to see the chief.
