252: Undercurrents surge in Xining Province

Fortunately, Nguyen Thi Xuan Tao was an insider specifically cultivated by the Wu Family.

Although she had doubts about Li Qinghe's true identity, she would not do anything detrimental to the Wu Family.

Half an hour later, Vu Linh Huong met the Governor of Tay Ninh Province at the villa. In terms of jurisdiction and population, it was at most equivalent to a prefecture-level city in Dragon Country.

Li Qinghe was not willing to participate in such an occasion.

Vu Linh Huong, familiar with the routine, had an official exchange with the Governor of Tay Ninh Province in the villa's living room.

The Governor of Tay Ninh Province also stated that he had communicated with the Commander of the Seventh Military Region by phone and would strengthen patrols along the Vietnam and Cambodia borders to minimize, and even prevent, incidents of carrying firearms and ammunition across the border into Vietnam.

He also stated that he had ordered the Tay Ninh Province Public Security Bureau to dispatch an elite team to fully investigate this armed assault case.

However, he remained silent about the fact that all the assailants had been killed in the van.

Vu Linh Huong also heard Nguyen Thi Xuan Tao report that mercenaries had already been found to have killed all the assailants in the vehicle en route.

Her first reaction was that the family had specially arranged for hidden mercenaries to protect her.

But the family seemed to have little contact with Western mercenaries.

Because the Wu Family's base was still within Vietnam, it was understandable for them to train some domestic Vietnamese special forces or bodyguards for family members.

However, if they were associated with foreign mercenary forces, it could easily become an excuse for opponents to attack the Wu Family.

Therefore, Vu Linh Huong was also at a loss.

She politely saw off the Governor of Tay Ninh Province and his entourage.

Not long after, the Commander of the Seventh Military Region arrived.

Vietnamese military region commanders generally hold the rank of major general to lieutenant general, and the main officers of the combat infantry divisions under their command hold the rank of senior colonel.

Generally speaking, military region commanders with the rank of major general belong to the younger generation within the Vietnamese army, while military region commanders promoted to lieutenant general are usually nearing retirement age.

As a military region commander, his entourage was much larger than that of the Governor of Tay Ninh Province.

When they met, Vu Linh Huong affectionately called the military region commander 'uncle'.

As the top leader of a Vietnamese military region, this major general was also a decisive type. He came to tell Vu Linh Huong two things.

First, the army had found the group of Cambodians who crossed the border with guns, their method of entry, and the personnel who assisted them in crossing the border.

Second, Vu Linh Huong's safety in Tay Ninh Province would be handled by a squad of female special forces he brought, until Vu Linh Huong returned to Saigon.

It could be said that the entire Tay Ninh Province was stirred up because of Vu Linh Huong's encounter with the gunmen.

Looking at these female special forces, Nguyen Thi Xuan Tao was quite happy.

With the protection of these special forces, when she went to the Cao Dai headquarters temple to discuss matters with the Cardinal, she would not have to worry too much about safety issues.

Li Qinghe looked at the group of Vietnamese female special forces below from the villa's balcony, feeling a bit strange.

Because these female special forces were not as cold as the Chinese special forces he saw in movies.

From another perspective, their military discipline was rather lax.

Their appearance was more about representing a deterrent force and demonstrating the Seventh Military Region's support for Vu Linh Huong.

The Commander of the Seventh Military Region came and left in a hurry.

He spoke a few simple words with Vu Linh Huong, left a squad of female special forces, and then left the villa complex with a convoy of military vehicles.

"Qinghe, I was planning to return to Saigon today, but it seems we'll have to stay in Tay Ninh for a few days."

Vu Linh Huong discussed with Li Qinghe in a somewhat apologetic tone.

"It's fine, we're not in a hurry. The most important thing is to dig out those people behind the scenes."

Li Qinghe acted very magnanimously.

In fact, he was also a bit frustrated about almost being attacked today.

If he didn't have a mysterious Task Force 141 at his disposal, he and Vu Linh Huong would probably have been in a rather embarrassing situation today.

Although the final outcome was that he alone could definitely handle all of them.

After all, he had a bulletproof vest, but Vu Linh Huong and Nguyen Thi Xuan Tao did not.

From the current situation, the other faction of Cao Dai is the most suspicious.

Now the pressure is on the Confucian branch of Cao Dai.

Because Vu Linh Huong specifically came to discuss matters with them.

And the attack happened after she finished discussing matters with them.

Although all the assailants have been killed, this matter cannot simply be overlooked.

On the roads of Tay Ninh Province, the number of police cars and military vehicles suddenly increased significantly.

For ordinary people, they thought it was just some military or public action, which would not affect their normal lives anyway.

In a conference room at the Cao Dai headquarters temple.

"Ruan Sanguang, you must give us an explanation for this matter. The Wu Family's daughter is not someone who can be bullied by just anyone."

The Confucian Cardinal, dressed in a red robe, sat by the conference table, frowning and looking at the Buddhist Cardinal in a yellow robe sitting opposite him.

And next to him sat the Taoist Cardinal in a blue robe.

"Zheng Dexiong, I told you that this matter has nothing to do with me."

The Yellow-robed Cardinal also frowned. As the Cardinal of the headquarters, he felt that he was being unfairly blamed for this.

Although there were many dissatisfactions within the sect due to disagreements between the branches regarding the Confucian and Taoist branches.

However, the Yellow-robed Cardinal understood very well that they were able to achieve their current status because they were gathered on a large platform like Cao Dai.

If the sect were to split due to internal disagreements, they would find it difficult to obtain their current status and glory.

"Zheng Dexiong, in front of Bishop Chen Chunmeng, I can formally tell you that although there are differences in ideology at times, I have always hoped that our Cao Dai sect can spread more gospel..."

Seeing the Yellow-robed Cardinal say such words with unprecedented seriousness.

The anger on the Cardinal's face also dissipated somewhat.

Regardless of whether the other party was telling the truth or lying, at this moment, he could only choose to believe it first.

"Cardinal Ruan, we must take this matter seriously, because although the Wu Family has not reached the top, they possess very powerful influence in both economic and military aspects..."

The Cardinal seriously explained to the other two Cardinals by the table the impact of Vu Linh Huong's attack on Cao Dai.

At the same time, he also informed the two Cardinals about the visits of the military and political bigwigs from Tay Ninh Province to see Vu Linh Huong.

As a sect headquartered in Tay Ninh Province, Cao Dai also had its own channels for information.

Although they could not place their own people in some important positions.

But millions of followers were spread across various industries.

Information from different channels, when gathered, became very useful intelligence.

Now, regarding Vu Linh Huong's attack, whether it was Cao Dai's opponents framing them, or a problem with someone inside Cao Dai.

Vu Linh Huong was followed by armed individuals immediately after leaving the Cao Dai temple, which proved that the opponent's informants were around the Cao Dai temple, or even inside the Cao Dai temple itself.

Taking the opportunity to track down the mastermind, the three Cardinals decided to purify the internal members.
