Zong Ruoan was silent for a while, then said, "The Zong family has my eldest cousin from the first house as the heir. I won't compete with him... I just want to prove myself. I can have my own career without the Zong family."
Lu Jianpeng: “…”
"Master Zong, why bother? In fact, no matter where you go, you can't get rid of the label of the Zong family."
Zong Ruoan suddenly laughed and said, "I know. I just figured it out. Why should I compete with Inspector Huo? Besides, he is indeed more capable than me. Although his family background is ordinary, he joined the army at the age of seventeen, was promoted to marshal within ten years, and then took control of the Special Security Bureau, which is only responsible to His Majesty the Emperor. - I can never compare to him in this aspect."
Lu Jianpeng's voice became even quieter. "...Master Zong, please stop dwelling on this... Why is Inspector Huo the boss of the Special Security Bureau? He's certainly capable, but there are others who are stronger than him, right? For example, the eldest son of the Quan family? But why is he the one in charge of the Special Security Bureau? Isn't it because he comes from an ordinary family that His Majesty the Emperor trusts him the most..."
The implication was that given Zong Ruoan's background as one of the four noble families, the emperor would have to be crazy to put a department like the Special Security Bureau in his hands.
Zong Ruoan glanced at Lu Jianpeng in surprise: "You are quite smart, don't hide it in the future... I, your master, am not the kind of person who is jealous of others' talents."
Lu Jianpeng chuckled and said, "I know Master Zong isn't that kind of person. To be honest, if you were really that kind of person, I wouldn't still be following you."
Zong Ruoan punched him lightly and said, "Inspector Huo has agreed. Wang Yixiao's case involves a major genetic drug development project. Inspector Huo has authorized me to take full responsibility."
"Really?!" Lu Jianpeng's eyes lit up. "What about the Disciplinary Department and the Fan family?"
"We need to look into that as well, but we need to close the case as quickly as possible. Also, you need to investigate the connection between the private club arson case and Wang Yixiao's case. We need to find out before the end of the year."
Zong Ruoan stood up and paced back and forth in the first-level conference room, thinking as he said, "We don't have much time this year. Let's do the preparatory work first, and then invest in the genetic drug research and development project next year. By then, I will coordinate the Information Department, the Intelligence Department, and the Operations Department."
Lu Jianpeng knew that according to the practice of the Special Security Bureau, once someone was responsible for a special project, they would coordinate the management of the Information Department, Intelligence Department and Operations Department.
"Great!" Lu Jianpeng also stood up excitedly, "Then let's settle this with the Punishment Department and the Fan family first!"
