Chapter 1382: Chapter 875: Deputy Captain of the Law Enforcement Team (Part 3)

"No, take care of yourself, I have things to do, I’m leaving now." Yang Xiao left without a backward glance after dropping the final words.

Watching the door rebound after being pushed open, gradually closing, Yang Xiao’s silhouette was slowly clipped in Su Tingting’s eyes until it completely disappeared.

He had already been delayed here for too long. Arriving back at the underground parking lot, Sui was still waiting for him in the car. The moment he opened the car door, Sui, wearing black sunglasses, revealed a mocking smile.

"Stop!" Yang Xiao raised his hand, making a gesture to interrupt.

"I didn’t see anything, nor do I know anything." Sui Chengguo withdrew his gaze, speaking earnestly to himself, yet his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, "Deaf and blind, keeping my mouth tightly shut."

At this moment, two male employees also came along; they were sent by Zhao.

Open the trunk, and under Yang Xiao’s direction, they swiftly took Su Tingting’s luggage away to their employee dormitory first.

Su Tingting’s matters had come to an end. Yang Xiao took out his home keys and gave them to Sui, letting him stay at his villa first.

As for Yang Xiao himself, he called a car and returned to the Patrol Defense Office.

Rushing to the Director’s office without a break, only to find the Director wasn’t there, with only Huang Qiang tidying up. He learned from Huang Qiang that the Director was called to a meeting.

This was obviously a lie, not that Huang Qiang was deceiving him, but because the Director hadn’t been truthful to him.

Now, any prestigious meeting within Rongcheng, even if he didn’t attend, he would surely be informed, as he was the Deputy Director of the Lin’an Patrol Office, a specialist in the Triangular Action Division, an undeniably significant figure.

Yang Xiao returned to his office to rest. He lay on the sofa and soon fell asleep, not knowing how long had passed when someone knocked hard on the office door.

Yang Xiao, in a daze, opened his eyes to find it was already a bit dark outside, clearly evening time.

"Little Yang, it’s me." Nalan Shuo’s familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Director!"

Yang Xiao quickly opened the door. Nalan Shuo strode in, wearing an undetectable smile, dressed not in a formal suit but casual clothes, further confirming Yang Xiao’s suspicions.

He hadn’t gone for a meeting but instead to execute a secret task or meet someone.

Sitting on the sofa, Nalan Shuo crossed his hands and smiled at Yang Xiao, "An old friend of mine came down from the Provincial Public Security Headquarters for an assignment, and casually visited me."

"He secretly told me that the Provincial Public Security Headquarters has held two meetings specifically for you. The meetings were highly ranked, with clear intentions to promote you. That’s a given; the current focus is on your position."

"Some say you’re too young, your qualifications too shallow, suggesting a nominal title as a transition, but Professor Cui and Captain Yang Lao firmly opposed it. They believe that for young talents like you, there should be vigorous promotion and a position that allows you to showcase your capabilities."

"The two sides argued fiercely, but now the upper echelon leans more towards Professor Cui and Captain Yang Lao’s viewpoint, as everyone has witnessed your achievements."

"It’s said that the Esoteric Sect holds you in high regard, with Cannibal Buddha and Dean Sheng speaking for you." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Nalan Shuo squinted with a smile, saying, "You should know, Cannibal Buddha’s words carry weight; without you, our Jiangbei Public Office wouldn’t be qualified to converse with experts like Cannibal Buddha, so his favor cannot be dismissed."

"Currently, it seems your position is highly likely to be the Deputy Captain of the Provincial Law Enforcement Team, which is Captain Yang Lao’s position, and your rank... will be upgraded to equal mine, as a Second-level Full-time."

"Captain Yang Lao holds this rank; in the Provincial Law Enforcement Team, only Chief Wu is a First-level Deputy, and he is also regarded as the strongest on the surface of our Jiangbei Provincial Office, widely respected."

"Is he... very strong?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.

"Of course, years ago when he was just a Deputy Captain, he had strength close to the Peak of Ghost Level. After so many years, he’s only become stronger."

Yang Xiao knew that although Director Nalan seemed easy to talk to, he was quite selective in regard, genuinely appreciating few people. To earn such praise from him, Chief Wu must indeed be remarkable, his strength undoubtedly formidable.

Though the Jiangbei Provincial Office is somewhat weaker among numerous national offices, as the apparent strongest in a provincial office, its strength wouldn’t fall short.

Yang Xiao speculated it would surpass most Esoteric Sect Elders, having strength above the Peak of Ghost Level, perhaps reaching the level of Half-step Nether Realm, comparable to Demon Sect Vajra.

"Do well, Little Yang, we all have high hopes for you, and the future position of Provincial Office Director is reserved for you!" Nalan Shuo was always hopeful for Yang Xiao.

"Director, none of that matters, and I have good news to tell you." Yang Xiao quickly said, "I’ve found a way to cure your body. We need the cooperation of a Ghost Sect Apostle, but not just any random one; he must have the Ghost Tomb!"

Yang Xiao spoke excitedly, yet Nalan Shuo’s reaction was quite calm, merely smiling without answering, a hint of bitterness hidden in his smile.

Yang Xiao instantly understood; apparently, the Director had long been aware of this method.

Indeed, as Nalan Shuo could mobilize the resources of the Patrol Defense Office, truly comparing, the means by which he obtained information might surpass that of the Second Demon Uncle hidden at the Peace Hotel, likely being even stronger in scope.
