Zhao Neng and Hu Hai would not surrender easily.

Their counterattack may come at any time.

"Young Master, the remnants of Zhao Neng are still making moves." Chen Ping walked slowly into the study and said in a low voice.

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, turned and walked to the desk, and picked up a secret letter.

"Zhao Neng has not exhausted all his means. He will not give up so easily." Ying Yuan said lightly, his tone revealing calmness and confidence.

Chen Ping nodded in agreement: "Yes, Zhao Neng's power is deep, he controls many ministers in the court, and he is still waiting for an opportunity."

Ying Yuan sneered: "Chance? He no longer has a chance."

Last night's action successfully stopped Zhao Neng's first wave of offensive, but Ying Yuan knew that Zhao Neng would not give up.

He was well aware of Zhao Neng's cunning and Hu Hai's ambition.

"How is Hu Hai now?" Ying Yuan suddenly asked.

Chen Ping whispered, "After Hu Hai's operation failed last night, he hid in his mansion and has not taken any action for the time being. However, I suspect he may be waiting for Zhao Neng's next plan."

Ying Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Hu Hai...this idiot." Ying Yuan said coldly.

He knew that although Hu Hai was ambitious, he lacked the ability to plan independently.

Everything depends on Zhao Neng's guidance.

And Zhao Neng is the real opponent.

"Mr. Chen, the next focus is Zhao Neng. He must be completely eradicated." Ying Yuan gave the order calmly with a resolute look in his eyes.

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. The Royal Guards have been keeping a close eye on Zhao Neng's every move."

"However, Zhao Neng seems to have been meeting with several court officials recently, trying to win them over to his side."

Ying Yuan snorted coldly: "Those people are just fence-sitters. Does Zhao Neng think he can turn the tables by relying on them?"

He knew very well that these court ministers were nothing more than profit-seeking people, and they could betray Zhao Neng at any time as long as the benefits were right.

And he already has a solution.

"Pass the order down, contact these ministers secretly and tell them that if they continue to associate with Zhao Neng, they will surely die without a burial place." Ying Yuan ordered coldly.

"Yes!" Chen Ping accepted the order respectfully.

Ying Yuan's eyes were deep. He knew that although Zhao Neng was powerful, once he lost the support of the ministers in the court, Zhao Neng's situation would become even more precarious.

At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.

A Jinyiwei spy hurried into the study, looking anxious.

"Sir, something terrible is happening!"

Ying Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

The spy reported in a low voice: "Zhao Neng's troops have gathered again, and they are planning to launch a second operation!"

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Zhao Neng is really stubborn."

He thought that last night's blow would be enough to make Zhao Neng retreat, but obviously, Zhao Neng did not give up.

"What does Zhao Neng want to do this time?" Ying Yuan asked in a deep voice.

The spy replied in a low voice: "According to intelligence, Zhao Neng is planning a larger-scale coup, trying to create chaos in the capital and seize control."

Ying Yuan’s eyes became increasingly cold.

Zhao Neng had obviously given it his all.

"A coup?" Ying Yuan sneered, "Does he think he can turn the tables this way?"

Chen Ping stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, Zhao Neng's operation has entered the final stage. Should we take action in advance?"

Ying Yuan pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "Zhao Neng has revealed his trump card. Now is not the best time for us to take action."

He knew that although Zhao Neng was powerful, Ying Yuan held the real power of the capital.

Zhao Neng was just bluffing. "Mr. Chen, pass the order down, everyone be on alert and wait for my order." Ying Yuan ordered in a deep voice.

Chen Ping nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I have already made all the arrangements."

The power of the Jinyiwei has been accumulating in secret. As long as Zhao Neng dares to make any unusual moves, Ying Yuan will crush him completely with the force of thunder.

"Zhao Neng thought he could turn the tables this time, but he had no idea that he had entered a dead end." Ying Yuan said coldly, his tone revealing great confidence and determination.

Every move of Zhao Neng was under his control.

The more anxious Zhao Neng was to act, the more flaws he revealed.

Ying Yuan will not rush to take action. He will wait for Zhao Neng to make a fatal mistake.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

This time, it was Feng Jie who walked in with a serious look on his face.

"Sir, Zhao Neng's men have spread rumors in the city, trying to disturb people's hearts."

Ying Yuan frowned and said coldly: "Zhao Neng really spared no effort."

Spreading rumors was Zhao Neng's usual tactic. He wanted to create chaos through public opinion and thus pave the way for his actions.

"Young Master, do we need to deal with these rumors?" Feng Jie asked cautiously.

Ying Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled coldly.

"No need." He said lightly.

"Rumors are nonsense. As long as we control the situation, Zhao Neng's tricks will not work at all."

Feng Jie nodded: "Sir, what you said is absolutely right."

A cold light flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes.

"Zhao Neng thought he could disrupt the capital, but he forgot that the person who truly controls everything here is me," he said coldly.

Chen Ping nodded silently, and admired Ying Yuan's calmness and wisdom even more.

This storm has lasted too long, and Ying Yuan has always remained absolutely calm and patient.

It is precisely because of this that he is invincible in this power struggle.

"Zhao Neng's methods are almost exhausted. Now we just need to wait for him to make one last mistake." Chen Ping said in a low voice.

Ying Yuan nodded.

"He won't keep us waiting long."

At this time, Zhao Neng had already reached the edge of the cliff.

Once he takes the last step, he will fall completely into the abyss.

And Ying Yuan was the one who pushed him down.

As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the capital became increasingly tense.

Zhao Neng's conspiracy is unfolding step by step, but Ying Yuan has made the final preparations.

He knew that the next action would be the key to determining victory or defeat.

"Pass the order down, all Jinyiwei will enter the highest state of alert." Ying Yuan ordered coldly.

"Yes!" Feng Jie took the order and retreated quickly.

Ying Yuan stood in the middle of the study, his eyes as sharp as knives, staring at the darkness in the distance.

At this moment, he was ready for everything.

Zhao Neng's doomsday is approaching.

"Zhao Neng, Hu Hai, and all those who dare to be my enemy will pay the price for their choice." Ying Yuan said in a low voice, his tone revealing endless coldness and majesty.

This game has reached its final moment.

Every step Zhao Neng took was under his control.

When Zhao Neng's final trump card is revealed, Ying Yuan will use thunderous means to completely put an end to all these characters. (End of this chapter)
