C2316 Director Wangs Sigh (1/2)

The CIA was initially just one of Xiao Letian's torture chambers, a very important department used by him to punish the people inside. In the beginning, there were only a few dozens of people in the torture chamber, but due to Xiao Letian's attention, the scale of the torture chamber quickly expanded to over a thousand.

When Xiao Letian was still very weak, he had relied on his strong intelligence power to strike a balance between the many forces in the Qing Dynasty, seeking survival.

After searching for information on the Manchu dynasty Hall, digging up the county level officials and officials, and searching for and saving the Sky Nation's orphan En Yangzhong from all over the country, and even assassinating some key figures, the Punishment Hall had to continuously expand its power.

Until Xiao Letian officially became the Ryukyu's Prime Minister, this name that carried the taste of the underworld was finally thrown into the pile of old papers, and replacing it was the arrogant name of the CIA.

When the CIA was established, it was already completely controlled by Xiao Letian, and the Letian Firm had already started to make more money every day. With the support of sufficient funds, the power of the CIA increased even further.

Just how many employees were there under the CIA? Actually, even Wang Huaiyuan did not know the exact numbers, because a lot of the dark factions in the Qing Dynasty had already been infiltrated by the CIA.

For example, the Salt Clan's Slot Gang that was eating Grand Canal's Rice, many of the halls had already changed their hearts, and were now under the control of the CIA.

The smallest ones had hundreds of people, while the most common ones were thousands of people. These black forces with uncertain numbers of people formed the outermost circle of the CIA.

There were even many people from the Jianghu, including the bandits who dominated the mountains and many of them were intelligence officer s with secret orders from the CIA. Naturally, the powers under their command were under Wang Huaiyuan's control.

Are there really a lot of 100,000 people? In fact, it wasn't much at all. Following this trend, 200,000, 300,000, or even over a million wouldn't even be a dream.

Such a large force had already formed its own small society, a small economy. They secretly colluded with each other to engage in secret trade, and many smuggling activities were one of the important sources of funds.

Tongzhi and the two empress dowager didn't even know that one third of the opium smoked by the eight banners of the Beijing was already being refined by the people of the CIA, and then branded as horseshoe soil to cheat the two fools.

There were guns, money, people... The CIA had already become the biggest organization within the Chinese clan, while Wang Huaiyuan had already become the second most powerful person within the Chinese clan.

It wasn't that Wang Huaiyuan didn't understand the principle of being at the top when faced with danger, but he had the energy to do whatever it took to assist others. It was this selfless dedication of his that allowed him to gain Xiao Letian's trust and respect.

He never would have thought that he would actually hear such words from Sima Yun's mouth. In that instant, a trace of worry that had been hidden deep within his heart for many years instantly occupied all of his consciousness.

It wasn't that he didn't understand everything Sima Yun said, it was just that he kept lying to himself. He repeatedly told himself that Xiao Letian wasn't such a leader, that the tragedy of history wouldn't fall on him.

After all, they were all people who had learned four books and five scriptures, and had read over and over again. It was not that he did not know of all the dark things in history, it was just that he felt that Xiao Letian was not that kind of person.

But today, Sima Yun had torn apart all of his fantasies. At this time, he was thinking back to the huge power he had single-handedly created over the years, that mysterious organization formed by over a hundred thousand people.

It had all become his worst nightmare, and he could almost see that the axeman was already closing in on him.
