Husbands Seeking Love

Chapter 75

Xuanyuan Zong Zhi was astonished: “How did you know this?”

Ruan Zhu’s mood was heavy, as if lead had been poured over her. She extended a hand to grasp Xuanyuan Zong Zhi’s finger: “The Crown Prince has an extremely skilled adviser, and you must dispose of him. That man is precisely the one who killed Steward Wang–Zhao Hai; the crippled man who came up with the idea of stir-frying tea.”

Xuanyuan Zong Zhi was somber: “So it was him. I was thinking how did the Crown Prince’s strength abruptly increase and inquiries from multiple sides have failed. If we could ascertain the person, then it would be easy to handle. But, Wife, how would you know of this?”

“Don’t worry about how I know this now. However, Big Brother Lu, let me remind you–Zhao Hai poses a very large threat to us. If this person is around, we will be in danger. Because……Because the things that I know, that person basically knows as well. You……You must think of a way to eliminate him.” Ruan Zhu was despondent and the hand that had grabbed him unconsciously loosened: “The reason why Steward Wang was killed by him was precisely because Steward Wang understood things that the other man knew. If he knows that I also understand, he will definitely not let me go.”

“This is the reason why you have always been so scared of Zhao Hai?” Xuanyuan Zong Zhi was stunned: “I understand now. I will think of a way to eliminate him. In any case, I must do this for you and the children.”

But Ruan Zhu could hear between his words. It was not merely as simple as him eliminating Zhao Hai; he had decided to set himself against the Crown Prince. She suddenly was full of grief. As a member of the imperial family, even if one did not have the intention to strive and fight for the throne, one still had no choice but to fiercely and heartlessly do so in order to survive.

Ruan Zhu’s mood became a little better as at least the matter with Zhao Hai was now half-solved. The only aspect where she was stronger than Zhao Hai was that she knew the other’s secrets and the other did not know did not know about her.

She would take this opportunity while the Heavens  were standing on her side.

Ruan Zhu instructed Qu Gao to send some servants to place Nuan Qing under house arrest. She was worried the Crown Prince’s men would try to get in contact with him and had no option but to be cautious.

Xuanyuan Zong Zhi saw that his wife was exhausted. He still had some questions to ask but restrained himself.

The next day, when Ruan Zhu woke up.

He could no longer resist and asked the question from yesterday: What exactly does ‘strengthening intelligence’ refer to?

Ruan Zhu only responded after thinking for a moment: “I’m also not too sure and can only give a rough direction, but I’ll slowly supplement it when I remember more in the future.”

“All right. Take your time.”

“Intelligence is not as simple as sending out several spies; in fact, it is much more complicated. This is a formidable information network with subordinates across all industries and institutions. The main task is to collect and analyze public and private knowledge that involve domestic and international affairs; businesses and individuals; national secrets; cultural trends; and information regarding soldiers. There is also the allocation of personnel and training consisting of assassinations, destruction, deceiving and changing the popular opinion……”

From the information Ruan Zhu had seen online, she repeated all of the ones that she remembered.

Referring to the CIA of the United States and other famous intelligence organizations, she explained the various tasks of each division to him and also spoke of a few famous spy cases and intelligence agents.
