Chapter 1646: Chapter 957: Looking for Someone (Part 3)

"Three birds with one stone, Director, brilliant plan, brilliant plan!!" The driver knew how to provide emotional value and kept praising with a thumbs up.

"Tell Grandmaster Han that this matter can fail, but there must be no mistakes, that Yang Xiao isn’t easy to deal with, have him send the most capable people!"

"No, do not use their Han family’s people, if they’re discovered, it will be troublesome. Tell him to hire people from the Chamber of Commerce. Remember, don’t be afraid to spend money, you get what you pay for, without risking you can’t gain!" Vice Commissioner Zhao emphasized.

"Understood, Director, rest assured! I believe Grandmaster Han is someone who can grasp the gravity of the situation." The driver nodded heavily.

...

On the other side, Yang Xiao, returning to the villa, sat on the sofa. His drunk appearance from before was all an act; after rounds of training by Beibei Ximen Xiu and others, his capacity for alcohol was quite solid.

One and a half pounds of white liquor, beer freely, drinking while standing on boxes, today Yang Xiao was just mildly tipsy to set the mood.

But at the same time, he felt that this Vice Commissioner Zhao was not a simple person either, and surely hadn’t had too much to drink. He acted drunk, multiple times probing him inadvertently, trying to get information.

"The workplace is a battlefield, Wu Qingcang was right, maybe mingling with Evil Cultivators offers better prospects than the Patrol Defense Office, I wonder if the Evil Cultivators engage in office culture..." Yang Xiao breathed out a mouthful of alcohol fumes and slowly closed his eyes. freёweɓnovel.com

Early the next morning, Wu Qingcang had just arrived at the office when he heard a knock on the door. After the door opened, Yang Xiao walked in; wearing a new uniform, Yang Xiao looked poised and impressive.

"Captain Yang, do you need something?" Wu Qingcang raised his head and glanced at him.

"Captain Witch, I’ve compiled some materials, please take a look." Yang Xiao stepped forward and politely placed the materials on Captain Witch’s desk.

As Wu Qingcang picked up the materials to review them, Yang Xiao casually brought up last night’s dinner invitation from Vice Commissioner Zhao. freewebnσvel.cøm

Of course, the so-called material submission was just a pretense; reporting this matter to Captain Witch was his true intent. After all, Yang Xiao didn’t think he could hide such things from Wu Qingcang. Rather than arousing suspicion, he decided to take the initiative to confess.

Moreover, from last night’s interaction with Vice Commissioner Zhao, Yang Xiao confirmed this person was unreliable, and Director Nalan had already rung the alarm bell for him.

"Vice Commissioner Zhao inviting you for a meal was well-intentioned. It’s my neglect as the squad captain; this welcoming meal should’ve been my treat." Wu Qingcang said calmly, "You may not understand yet, but Vice Commissioner Zhao has always been very concerned with the affairs of our Law Enforcement Team."

Listening carefully, Yang Xiao immediately understood that Wu Qingcang was reminding him, Vice Commissioner Zhao has always aimed to seize control of the Law Enforcement Team, he had overstepped his bounds.

Judging by Wu Qingcang’s reaction, he already knew about his antics with Vice Commissioner Zhao the previous night, and he was waiting for Yang Xiao’s stance without exposing anything.

Yang Xiao knew this was the time to choose a side, so he stood straight and firm: "I understand, Vice Commissioner Zhao is a leader within our Patrol Defense Office, it’s only natural for leaders to care about their subordinates, but you are my superior. I, Yang Xiao, am the captain of the Third Law Enforcement Team and a subordinate under Captain Witch."

"Your words aren’t quite right; you’re a member of the Patrol Defense Office. We don’t engage in personal worship here; we are a collective. Director Hong, myself, and Vice Commissioner Zhao, we are all one family." Wu Qingcang said.

"Yes, yes, the leadership indeed speaks with great skill. I should learn more from you in the future." In his mind, Yang Xiao cursed Wu Qingcang’s ancestors fiercely several times. This guy’s rank is obviously higher than Vice Commissioner Zhao’s, taking advantage and playing humble while speaking in high notes without any fault. Yang Xiao realized, essentially, Wu Qingcang still doesn’t quite trust him.

But this straightforward defense is evidently more reassuring than Vice Commissioner Zhao’s insincere friendliness; it also makes Yang Xiao feel more at ease, knowing he has already entered this Shura Field.

Having said what needed to be said, Yang Xiao should now inquire about the serious matter, "Captain Witch, I’ve made progress on what you previously tasked me with, but I’m unable to contact the person. Allegedly, he was detained in our Patrol Defense Office’s prison."

"Who is it?"

"His name is Chen Nang, someone I met during a nightmare assignment; I feel he should be reliable." Yang Xiao spoke honestly.

"Chen Nang..." Wu Qingcang’s brow furrowed slightly, as if the name rang a bell.
