After leaving the Jingwu Bureau, Chen Sheng went straight back to the Nie Family. He met with Patriarch Nie, Nie Tiankun, and presented Chu Zhennan's appointment order for his inspection.
Although Chu Zhennan seemed to trust him implicitly, entrusting him with great responsibility, Chen Sheng saw the situation with perfect clarity.
Compared to the inscrutable Commander of the Jingwu Bureau, the Nie Family—with whom he had already formed an alliance of mutual interest—was a far more reliable pillar of support.
After all, with this marriage alliance, the Nie Family was betting on his future.
This bond was far more secure than an appointment from Chu Zhennan based on momentary interests.
During their conversation, Chen Sheng also tactfully mentioned his hope that the engagement formalities could be simplified and expedited, avoiding excessive complexity.
