The foolish woman ultimately lost in the confrontation with Baiyu.
She glared at Baiyu in disappointnt, but after thinking for a long ti, she still couldn’t find a role suitable for herself to reprimand him.
After all.
Qiong Xue is Baiyu’s nominal fiancée, the person he’s supposed to marry in the future.
Even she didn’t say anything.
So Ning Qian had even less standing.
Nonetheless.
Although the foolish woman ca early in the morning "to settle accounts," Baiyu understood her thoughts.
Moreover.
She wasn’t truly here to accuse, at most she was just venting so inner imbalance.
After Baiyu comforted her with a few words, this girl finally smiled, with a blushed face, embarrassed enough not to stay in the courtyard.
After Ning Qian left.
The other won in the courtyard, seeing that the situation was over, originally intending to watch Baiyu make a fool of himself, now had no show to watch and fled as if escaping.
Only Qiong Xue remained seated, saying nothing.
"Um..."
Baiyu approached her, wanting to explain, only to find that the girl had already fallen asleep.
Her sleeping posture was extrely graceful.
Resting on the stone table.
The flesh on her cheek was squeezed up by her arm, and small noises of breathing constantly ca from her mouth.
Occasionally, she would smack her lips and utter a couple of dreamy murmurs.
The words Baiyu intended to say were swallowed back down.
He took out a book from the room and sat beside her, waiting for Qiong Xue to wake up.
However.
After waiting like that, more than an hour passed before Qiong Xue finally woke up.
"Uh... have they already left?"
Qiong Xue appeared a bit bewildered.
This situation always occurs after waking up.
"Yes, today we need to inspect the new headquarters of the Security Bureau, let’s go." Baiyu closed his book, smiled, and said.
The new headquarters of the Security Bureau is located on the old site of the Black Water Gang.
The speed of reconstruction also surpassed Baiyu’s expectations; he didn’t expect it to be renovated so quickly.
Even the entrance had the Security Bureau’s sign hanging up.
"What do you all think?"
Inside the Security Bureau.
Baiyu walked around, feeling quite satisfied with this office location, and asked an old man beside him.
The Security Bureau mber was already seventy years old, but being a Tier Eight Martial Artist, his body was still robust, not much different from that of an ordinary fifty-year-old man.
Because of old age with muscle relaxation and weakened Blood Qi.
This Tier Eight Martial Artist didn’t continue to look for other work and planned to stay in the Security Bureau during his retirent.
After working for decades.
He can be said to be a living fossil within the Security Bureau.
Baiyu now promoted him to the position of captain, allowing him to manage the remainder of the several dozen people at the Security Bureau.
And the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau, Zhang Zhi’an.
Aside from occasionally coming by, he basically no longer interfered with the Security Bureau’s affairs.
Of course.
Even if he wanted to intervene, no one would listen to him now.
Following Baiyu, both treatnt and status compared to before were greatly improved, who would still heed his words?
Upon hearing the Chief Director’s question.
Peng Yong, the loyal captain who Baiyu personally promoted, quickly replied, "In response, Lord Earl, currently the people of the Security Bureau are highly motivated, all speaking of having a good leader join them.
So are even eager to make a big effort!"
Baiyu stared at him, saying, "I’ve heard that these days when you all went to seize the Black Water Gang’s industry, you were driven away by soone who even fought back?"
Peng Yong blushed.
To his surprise, even Lord Earl knew about this.
"Rest assured, Lord, we will definitely handle this matter properly. The other major gangs are too arrogant; once their arrogance is severely battered, they won’t dare to extend their hands so recklessly!"
At this point, a hint of annoyance appeared in Peng Yong’s eyes.
Yet Baiyu saw more clearly and said, "No need for that, you all should focus on arranging the assets in hand and carefully interrogating those Black Water Gang prisoners, as for the remaining five major gangs.
You should know.
When prosperity reaches its zenith, decline follows.
As prosperous as they are today, they will be equally miserable when they fall in the future."
Baiyu isn’t unaware of the situation within the Security Bureau.
For these inefficient remnants to fight against the forces of the five major gangs is courting death.
These veterans being able to return safely.
It’s likely because the major gangs fear them as official personnel, combined with the lesson from the Black Water Gang, that they don’t dare to go all out.
In the past, these people might already have been beaten to death or severely injured.
Upon hearing Baiyu’s instructions, Peng Yong’s old face turned red, realizing that aside from experience, his group could hardly create genuine impact in real confrontations.
"Maintain the status quo, don’t think too much about anything else.
If there’s a need, I’ll inform you imdiately."
Baiyu instructed.
Peng Yong nodded, understanding that this Lord Earl is a person with thorough plans, not saying more.
After Baiyu inspected, he took Qiong Xue and returned to the Earl’s Mansion.
Though not tumultuous, Mountain City isn’t very stable either, and having dealt with the Black Water Gang, it is a ti of storm and instability.
Baiyu returned to the Earl’s Mansion, awaiting the right mont.
After all.
Last night he had already sent soone to investigate what Lin Shiyi ntioned, and if they really could trace clues regarding the alien races, Baiyu was ready to act.
After tidying up all five forces thoroughly.
Once the Security Bureau is tightly controlled, Baiyu plans to formally enter the high society of Mountain City.
Currently.
He is just like a hunter waiting for prey.
However, while Baiyu pondered this way on the carriage, the situation did not give him any choice.
Bang!
Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out.
Baiyu felt the outside of the steam carriage he was riding in reverberate with a massive explosion and shockwave.
The steam carriage he was in was gifted by Roxia, a high-end product specially modified by the Anomaly Bureau.
Ordinary artillery and firearms couldn’t possibly penetrate it.
Yet at this mont.
The entire iron exterior of the steam carriage was bulging, the entire vehicle tilted to one side, and collapsed to the ground with a crash.
Baiyu and Qiong Xue imdiately rolled out, escaping from the steam carriage.
The two hadn’t escaped long.
Another explosion sounded from behind, only to see the steam cylinder of the steam carriage directly explode, igniting into a Fireball, crackling and burning on the street.
If the two hadn’t jumped out.
Just then, even if it wouldn’t have killed them, it would have certainly severely injured both.
"Be careful, this assassination is different."
Upon landing.
Qiong Xue imdiately beca extrely alert, tightly gripping the Wooden Sword, and said to Baiyu.
Actually, even without her reminder, Baiyu realized the difference this ti.
This assassination.
Is absolutely a ticulously planned and long-calculated thorough assassination, unlike previous attempts by assassins at the Earl’s Mansion, rely coming to die aninglessly.
Following the cannon blast.
Baiyu glanced around, the noisy crowd had vanished, a layer of black-purple electric curtain appeared in the sky.
And around them.
It was silent.
Evidently, soone used barrier-type Magical Items to isolate the surroundings!
