Just as Ning Shi was thinking about this, his watch received a message from Wei Yanping.

Thank you readers!

“Lord Ning, I have something urgent to discuss with you. I’ll be waiting for you at the usual place at East Gate Commercial Street. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!”

In order to make it easier for Ning Shi to communicate with Wei Yanping, he had set the meeting point at Club 101 on East Gate Commercial Street.

After seeing Wei Yanping’s message, Ning Shi turned down Ye Hongmian’s invitation to have lunch with him. He rode the Hell Bike to Clubhouse 101.

Ning Shi ignored the waiter’s greeting and went straight to the Black Diamond VIP room No. 3 with his head lowered. Wei Yanping was pacing back and forth in the room with an uncertain expression.

It seemed like something really big had happened.

He couldn’t even sit down and think.

Seeing Ning Shi enter, Wei Yanping was delighted. He respectfully invited Ning Shi to sit on the leather sofa in the room, then closed the door and pressed the Do Not Disturb warning light.

Before Ning Shi could ask, Wei Yanping couldn’t help but say, “Lord Ning, I just received a very important piece of news. Principal Liang Wenli is getting old and is preparing to retire!

“Before she retires, she has to choose one of the four Vice Principals as her successor.”

When Ning Shi heard this news, he was a little surprised, but he wasn’t as excited as Wei Yanping. He asked calmly, “Liang Wenli was doing well as the principal. Why does she suddenly want to retire?”

There was no one else in the room, and the soundproofing of the clubhouse was classified, but Wei Yanping could not help but lower his voice.

“Because Nico’s disappearance was found out by the Archon. Now, the Archon and the Quartermaster have started to criticize Principal Liang. That’s why Principal Liang has the intention to retreat.”

After taking control of Wei Yanping, Ning Shi began to pay attention to the internal struggles of the Republican Party.

As the principal of the Norse Republic Academy, Liang Wenli belonged to the Dove Faction within the Republican Party. She advocated using advanced education and an advantageous environment to attract the advanced ideologists within the nobles. She attempted to use the weapon of thought to assimilate the aristocrats and opposed the armed struggle between humans.

The military supplies department was the Hawk Faction, which advocated eliminating the noble forces through military struggles, so as to take back the local armed forces and form a powerful country with a central power.

As for the administrative department led by the Archon, they were originally on the balanced side. They sided with the Dove Faction when the Hawk Faction was strong and helped the Hawk Faction when the Dove Faction was strong, maintaining internal balance.

However, the situation had changed in recent years.

The ideology of the Hawk Faction within the Republican Party was becoming more and more violent. After accumulating enough military power, the elites of the Norse Republic could no longer tolerate the grievances of being exploited and oppressed by the nobles for many years. They all expressed their desire to overthrow the noble class.

The administrative department had completely sided with the Hawk Faction.

Under such circumstances, the Republican Party as a whole still restrained the actions of the nobles and did not launch a large-scale attack.

It was all because of Liang Wenli.

Liang Wenli had been the president of the Norse Republic Academy for 28 years and was an evergreen in the Norse Republic’s political scene.

Within the academy, the four Vice Principals were all students that she had trained herself. Her prestige in the academy was extremely high, and her rule was stable.

In the Republic, be it the administrative department or the military supplies department, there were students of hers who held important positions in every department.

There were a total of eight adjutants in the military supplies department and three of them were Liang Wenli’s former students.

Liang Wenli’s potential influence was evident.

As compared to Liang Wenli, Archon Morris and Quartermaster He Jingong were much less experienced.

This was because the system of the Norse Republic stipulated that the term of office of the Archon and the Quartermaster was five years, and they could only serve two consecutive terms.

The current Archon of the Republic, Morris, was only 41 years old and had just taken office two years ago. The Quartermaster, He Jingong, was slightly better. He was 47 years old this year and was currently in his second term. He had been in office for seven years.

Ning Shi had analyzed it seriously. Morris’s support for the Hawk Faction was probably related to Liang Wenli.

The Archon was the nominal leader of the country, but he was always restricted by Liang Wenli when he implemented his policies.

No one would like a senior with a lot of experience and connections to be the emperor behind their backs. Morris had cursed Liang Wenli many times in private, calling her an old hag and an old fart.

No matter what, because of Liang Wenli’s obstruction, the Republican Party had never been able to form an internal unity and start a military war with the nobles.

Hence, both Archon Morris and Quartermaster He Jingong had been trying to get Liang Wenli to step down.

‘How did the Archon know about Nico’s disappearance?” Ning Shi asked. “Did someone tell on you?

Wei Yanping still suppressed his voice and said softly, “When the Archon called Principal Liang, we happened to overhear it.

‘Mr. Morris said that his men had observed Wu Yisheng’s frequent movements and were worried that something big would happen. Therefore, he sent people to investigate the specific situation and learned about Nico’s disappearance.

‘But according to my guess, someone must have leaked the information. Pang Yuanqing is the most likely to have leaked the information.”

‘Even if the Archon knows about Nico, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right?” Ning Shi analyzed. It was just a small negligence in management, and it did not cause serious consequences.

‘Nico is still under the control of the Republican Party.

‘Principal Liang can’t be defeated by such a small matter.

‘There must be a deeper reason for Liang Wenli’s retirement.

Speaking of the deeper reason, Wei Yanping’s expression was a little wretched. He said, “Lord, you’re right. Nico’s disappearance is just a fuse. The fact that there was a mole who leaked the information affected Principal Liang even more..”
