Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1642: Chapter 956: Uninvited Guest

Riding in Wu Qingcang’s car, Yang Xiao was taken back to the domain of the Patrol Defense Office within the city. The Provincial Office had arranged a residence for him nearby, not far from his workplace.

It was a standalone villa, fully equipped, and Yang Xiao moved in with his luggage immediately. Nearby, some other officers from the Patrol Defense Office lived, including someone he was familiar with, Captain Yang Lao.

The entire community had extremely strict security measures, managed by the Patrol Squad under the Law Enforcement Team of the Patrol Defense Office, also known as the Second Law Enforcement Team, led by Captain Yang Lao.

After the staff familiarized Yang Xiao with the environment of the villa, they left. Once they were gone, Yang Xiao did not dare to relax. He activated the Ghost Lantern and carefully inspected the villa. Finding nothing unusual, he was somewhat relieved.

Given his current abilities, very few people at the Provincial Office qualified to monitor him without being noticed.

After dinner, Yang Xiao took out his phone and called Sui. The call connected quickly, and Yang Xiao directly expressed his wish for Sui to come to Qinglan City, join the Patrol Defense Office, infiltrate the team of Evil Cultivators, and lend him a hand.

However, to Yang Xiao’s surprise, after a brief silence, Sui unexpectedly declined. It turned out that after the incident at Yiling Academy, he had lost faith in all major forces, including the Patrol Defense Office. He now wished only to quietly gather strength and prepare for a counterattack against Yiling Academy.

Moreover, Xiang Ma Town indeed needed his support, as many experts had recently joined, and the backgrounds of some were not fully understood. Tong Han was not strong enough to intimidate them.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao could not insist, as the Patrol Defense Office had once issued a bounty for Sui, which was a hurdle he could not overcome.

After hanging up, Yang Xiao slumped on the sofa, closed his eyes, and recalled everything that had happened today, as well as what Professor Cui had told him.

To completely control this team, a powerful ally was indispensable. Otherwise, given the heinous acts those guys had committed, Yang Xiao found it hard to trust them; they were a bunch of complete brutes.

But the current problem was that among his trusted comrades, there was no suitable candidate. Either they lacked strength or had better prospects now, and Yang Xiao did not want to force anyone to join.

Suddenly, a face flashed in Yang Xiao’s mind, a relatively young face.

Chen Nang.

This person was his teammate in the last nightmare mission, resourceful and courageous, never failing at a critical moment. In Yang Xiao’s eyes, he was a rather reliable person. Their survival last time was largely due to him.

According to Chen Nang, he was a prisoner, and it was the Patrol Defense Office that detained him.

Although he did not directly admit that the Patrol Defense Office arrested him, Yang Xiao had asked why the Patrol Defense Office captured him, and Chen Nang did not refute.

He only emphasized repeatedly that he was innocent.

Not knowing his true strength, if he were decent, recruiting him to join his side would be a huge advantage.

Yang Xiao decided to use his status at the Provincial Office to investigate him. If convenient, he would lend him a hand and have him join.

Back then, he asked Luoshui City’s municipal-level Patrol Defense Office to investigate his whereabouts but found nothing. Would the provincial level be qualified?

Yang Xiao believed there was a good chance of finding something since the guy did not seem like a vicious criminal. However, if he truly did something unforgivable, Yang Xiao would not recruit him unless he was wronged.

The next morning, Yang Xiao donned a brand-new uniform. This morning, he was to attend a welcome ceremony organized for him by the Provincial Office.

After this welcome ceremony, he would officially make an appearance at the Jiangbei Province Office.

The welcome ceremony was hosted by Vice Commissioner Zhao, and Director Hong Anguo delivered a speech. The nine-member leadership team gathered, giving Yang Xiao considerable face.

When it was Yang Xiao’s turn to speak, looking at the young and somewhat immature faces below, he was filled with mixed emotions. Once, he too sat among them, admiring the heroic deeds of his seniors. Now, only a few years after joining the Patrol Defense Office, he had become a figure beyond reach for these young people.

Yang Xiao’s speech was passionate and inspiring, yet not empty or hypocritical. After all, over the years, he had accomplished a lot and had commendable achievements, with enough dead Evil Cultivators at his hands to form a reinforced platoon. This was undeniable, witnessed by his colleagues at the Patrol Defense Office.

In his concluding remarks, Yang Xiao specifically mentioned someone.

Hao Feiyang.

He was a field operative at the Anping Public Office in Rongcheng. When Yang Xiao first met him, he was just a second-level member, the lowest rank among Patrol Defense Office members.

But during the Ghost Lantern paranormal event, Hao displayed remarkable courage, choosing to forge ahead even when certain of death, leaving a profound impact on Yang Xiao. fгeewebnovёl.com

It was the existence of countless ordinary yet extraordinary individuals like Hao Feiyang that gave the Patrol Defense Office, and the entire country, hope.

Among the young faces below, Yang Xiao vaguely saw Hao Feiyang’s face again.

After the meeting, Hong Anguo approached Yang Xiao with a smile, shaking his hand warmly. "Captain Yang, well done with the speech. I propose that you handle our Provincial Office’s recruitment speeches from now on; you’re a born speaker."
