Quan Yuxun thought about it carefully and said with a smile, "I am presumptuous. Inspector Huo is right. I really can't do this to Xia Chujian. She saved Caiwei and she saved me too. I am very grateful to her. But I still hope that if I need it, Inspector Huo can show some mercy..."
Huo Yushen said, "As long as Chief Quan can use the proper channels to borrow her to serve you, I will definitely not refuse."
By saying this, he was hinting to Quan Yuxun to make efforts from a legal perspective to loosen up the functions of the Special Security Bureau.
Because according to current laws and regulations, the Special Security Bureau is directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty the Emperor and cannot have any interest relationship with any other department.
Borrowing staff from the Special Security Bureau is, of course, a form of conflict of interest.
Quan Yuxun immediately understood.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind, including the interests involved with the royal family, the cabinet, the military, the Senate, and various aristocratic families.
Also, if some of the functions of the Special Security Bureau can be relaxed, perhaps we can strive to make the Special Security Bureau a neutral agency.
This institution is becoming increasingly larger, with more and more talented people, and it cannot be controlled solely by the emperor.
When Huo Yushen hinted at this condition, did he mean that Huo Yushen himself did not want to be just a knife in the emperor's hand?
Quan Yuxun thought about this and made a quick decision. He said, "Inspector Huo is right. We should use the proper channels for this matter and not let my savior take any risks."
Huo Yushen was speechless for a moment.
Which of the things Quan Yuxun asked Xia Chujian to do was not extremely risky?
How could you even say such a thing?
I have to remind Xia Chujian from now on not to get too close to people like Quan Yuxun. That could really get her killed, and she's still thinking about other people's kindness...
…
After the video call with Huo Yushen, Quan Yuxun couldn't sleep again.
Look, it’s almost five in the morning. Why are you still sleeping?
He got up straight away, made himself a cup of coffee, and sat on the sofa in the living room, admiring the still dark night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
This winter, it gets dark very early in Mulan City and gets light late in the morning. Coupled with the low temperature, it is almost the same as the far north of the Monster Forest.
But the night sky was particularly clear and pure, without any clouds. The moonlight poured down unobstructed, making the entire Mulan City look like a castle shrouded in moonlight, mysterious and beautiful.
After he finished a cup of coffee, he felt sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa for a while.
When he woke up again, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
The sky outside finally turned pale and dawn was approaching.
At this moment, a message alert sounded from his quantum optical brain.
Someone sent him a message, and it was very important news.
Quan Yuxun glanced at the quantum optical computer, then pulled out the virtual display screen to see what the message was.
[Mu Qianren]: Young Master Quan, the final list of candidates for the new Baron has been announced, and Yun Dagang is currently the most popular candidate. He's the head of the Yun family, has made significant military achievements, and has close ties with the Senate. The Senate's Vice Speaker has already expressed his support. Everyone believes he also has the support of the Quan family, so Yun Dagang is likely to receive the vacant Baron title.
Quan Yuxun thought about it and replied to him: Are you free to talk?
That's what it means to have a video call.
A quantum entanglement encrypted video call request was immediately sent over.
Quan and Xun made a video call.
He used a virtual background, while Mu Qianren used his own study background.
Mu Qianren was in his twenties, wearing a very low-key sportswear, leaning back in a chair leisurely.
Quan Yuxun asked, "Qianren, what is your father's ranking?"
Mu Qianren said calmly, "There are five candidates on the final list for the new Baron, and my father is third."
"Who's the second one?"
"The second one... is also a member of the Yun family. It's Yun Dagang's eldest son, Yun Songhao, who also holds the rank of Lieutenant General."
Quan Yuxun smiled faintly: "So, two people from the Yun family have been selected for the final list. They are determined to obtain this title."
"Yes, everyone knows it, so in the end, others are just running along." Mu Qianren said nonchalantly.
Quan Yuxun smiled even more warmly: "But didn't Mr. Yun steal half of his military achievements from your father?"
Mu Qianren was stunned: "...Master Quan, how did you know?!"
Quan Yuxun said leisurely, "How could I not know about the things related to the Yun and Mu families?"
"And there's Old Master Yun's eldest son, Yun Songhao. He's never been on the battlefield. His rank of Lieutenant General was obtained through collusion with the military when Old Master Yun retired from the military."
Mu Qianren's eyes widened: "...No way?! I remember he was on the battlefield..."
"Of course I have to tell everyone I've been there, otherwise I can't be promoted to general." Quan Yuxun disagreed. "It's not excessive for the Yun family to scheme for their own benefit, but they can't drag my Quan family into endorsing them. Tell your father not to be discouraged. I have something to announce today."
…
At the same time, Yun Nuluo was also on Quan Yuxun's large aircraft, having a video call with her father and grandfather.
Her grandfather was Yun Dagang, the head of the Yun family. He was once a general in the army and had made great military achievements.
Her father is still in the military, but he is engaged in logistics work and has the rank of lieutenant general.
"Grandfather, Father, the final list of candidates for the new Baron has been released!" Yun Nuluo smiled like a flower. "I heard that you two are at the top of the list!"
Yun Nuluo's father laughed heartily and said, "Of course this title belongs to your grandfather! I'm just a runner-up, holding up a spot for your grandfather!"
