Seeing this, Yang Xiao was finally relieved. No wonder Xi nxiu was so relaxed. Frankly, this was no longer just a simple background introduction; it was almost a complete strategy guide.
As long as Zhuge Zhi Jie was a bit careful, didn’t make major mistakes, and didn’t antagonize his teammates during the mission, his survival was practically guaranteed.
Putting away the report, Yang Xiao handed it to Xi nxiu, who turned around and shoved it into the shredder, laughing, "I told you, Xiao, you can relax now. By the way, are you busy this afternoon?"
Yang Xiao saw through Xi nxiu’s subtle intentions at a glance. "You don’t have to be on duty this afternoon. I was just about to train, which will be enough."
"Hehe, then I’ll be troubling Captain," Xi nxiu said with his spirits high. Originally, he wouldn’t have had to be on duty and could leave work at noon, but the team had a rule that at least one person must stay on duty in case of an ergency.
At 11:30, Xi nxiu left work on ti, while Yang Xiao went to the canteen to get so food. After eating, he returned to his office.
He also contacted Huang Qiang to arrange his training for the afternoon—a session on close combat and one on firearms. In fact, what Yang Xiao really wanted was to attend Lu Youdao’s class, but Huang Qiang told him that Lu Youdao had recently taken leave, directly requesting it from the director, and it was unclear when he would return.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiao pictured Lu Youdao’s weather-beaten face in his mind. The man was mysterious, with a puzzling background and a deep connection to Director Nalan. Yang Xiao was very curious about him but couldn’t show it, as Director Nalan’s eyes were always clear and observant.
Participating in close combat and firearms training, Yang Xiao also planned to test his own abilities since his spiritual power had greatly increased, which should also enhance his other skills.
Indeed, just as Yang Xiao had thought, his reactions and agility had improved significantly in close combat. He could even partially predict Coach Zhu Yina’s attacks. After the training, Zhu Yina was very surprised by Yang Xiao’s progress, saying, "Captain Yang, I must admit, you have great potential. If I didn’t know you, I would think my opponent had changed."
"It’s all thanks to your excellent coaching, Coach Zhu," Yang Xiao responded with a humble smile.
"However," Coach Zhu added, "Captain Yang, haven’t you been resting well lately?" She grabbed a towel, wiped the sweat off her face, and turned to ask.
Yang Xiao was taken aback. "Why do you say that?"
"Your punches and kicks are not as powerful as before, and your core strength has decreased," Coach Zhu observed Yang Xiao’s face and hesitated before adding, "Also, your complexion. Your face looks pale. You were very fair before, but now, it seems sowhat anemic."
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao instinctively touched his face. His thoughts inadvertently brought to mind the drama robe, and he wondered if there was any connection between the two.
The next subject was shooting, which was Yang Xiao’s area of expertise. As the bullet casings were rapidly ejected, each full-body and half-body target was penetrated. The bald coach couldn’t help but clap and marvel that under Yang Xiao’s gun, all lives were equal, the hostages and the kidnappers both deserved death.
After the shooting session, Yang Xiao blew on the slightly warm muzzle. This action was noticed by the bald coach, who further praised him as Lin’an Patrol Bureau’s top assassin, Director Nalan’s most formidable subordinate.
"Who held this title before?" Yang Xiao and the bald coach were as close as both teacher and friend, sharing a very harmonious relationship.
"Beibei," the coach answered without hesitation.
"Beibei has such a title?" Yang Xiao was intrigued.
Bald Coach looked around and, seeing no one else, couldn’t hide his gossiping spirit and started to babble to Yang Xiao, "Half a year ago, Beibei led a mission against a group of about 7 or 8 n, led by an Angel Envoy. These n were notorious for their lustful nature, specifically targeting lone female university students and never leaving survivors. This situation filled the whole city with horror; female students were banned from going out at night. Later, Beibei and Yu Shu disguised themselves as university students to fish for these scoundrels, and believe it or not, those beasts really fell for it. They killed three of them on the spot, and the rest fled to a civilian house with a courtyard, and even took two hostages, clamoring to negotiate with the police."
"But unexpectedly, before the negotiation experts were even ready, Beibei made the first move. They stole a Raptor from a nearby parking lot and drove it straight into the yard, collapsing the wall and killing a guy hiding behind it instantly."
"They opened fire as soon as they got out of the car. The leader was riddled with bullets, and the rest also died, two hostages were injured, one slightly, the other severely. The one with severe injuries was more shocked; he witnessed at close range as Beibei swung a golf club from the car, brutally smashing a thug’s head, crushing it and splattering his brains, which horrified him to the point where his heart condition flared up and he passed out, barely surviving."
Bald Coach lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep drag, and exhaled slowly, "Because of this Beibei was demoted. She used to be a captain, then beca an acting captain, and then... then Captain Yang, you ca."
"What’s there to be punished for? In my opinion, eliminating the violent and ensuring peace is a great rit, she should have been comnded instead." Yang Xiao had never encountered such vermin, but if he did, he would definitely make sure they knew the thods of Yang Qingtian.
"Exactly!, Later, the universities even sent banners of thanks to the police departnt, thanking Beibei and Yu Shu, and even wanted to grant them the title of honorary alumni. But considering their special work identities, all were politely declined by Director Nalan."
Bald Coach flicked his cigarette ashes, suddenly laughed, "If you ask , it’s just that they haven’t t you, Sharpshooter Captain Yang. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been such trouble, Beibei and the others are not decisive enough, not ruthless enough. If it had been you, Captain Yang, under the guns, all lives are equal; not a single soul would have been left alive in the yard. If questioned later, you could insist the hostages were killed by the kidnappers, and with the kidnappers dead by your hand, you would have been beyond accusation, with even greater rit!"
With just a few words, Yang Xiao knew Bald Coach was an old cynic. They chatted idly while drinking tea; Bald Coach was very cheerful and gradually shared many past events of the Patrol Defense Bureau with Yang Xiao, giving him a deeper understanding of the place, including notable actions by Xi nxiu and Zhuge Zhi Jie. The Patrol Defense Bureau didn’t harbor the idle.
While chatting, Yang Xiao’s phone vibrated, a ssage from Huang Qiang, asking him to visit the Director’s office imdiately.
After saying goodbye to Bald Coach, Yang Xiao took the elevator to the Director’s office, his mind spinning with thoughts as he didn’t know why Nalan Shuo was summoning him so urgently.
After entering, Halan Shuo was standing by the window. Seeing Yang Xiao, he looked him up and down a few tis and asked calmly, "Have you been in contact with Fu Qingzhu in the past few days?"
"Who?" Yang Xiao didn’t realize who it was at first.
"Fu Qingzhu, from the Apostles Union."
"No," Yang Xiao said truthfully, but he had a bad feeling because he had sent a ssage to Fu Qingzhu the previous night and still hadn’t received a reply. Yet, he couldn’t just ask directly in front of Nalan Shuo.
"That’s good, and make sure not to contact him in the future. The people from the Apostles Union ca asking to borrow you for an investigation, I refused them. Hah, these people are becoming more and more shaless." It was clear that Nalan Shuo was also not in a good mood.
Though he knew he shouldn’t show curiosity, Yang Xiao couldn’t help himself, considering the young man probably stirred up major trouble, "Director, what happened to him?"
"Hmm, he attempted to assassinate the vice president of the Apostles Union. After killing two of their officers, he fled. Now, it’s not just the people from the Apostles Union who are looking for him, nearly all the forces in Rongcheng are on the hunt for him."
"The Apostles Union has even issued a reward. Here’s the report they sent." Nalan Shuo handed a docunt to Yang Xiao.
Upon receiving it, the content was succinctly summarized into two points: one, whoever captures Fu Qingzhu alive, reward: 5 million and one piece of Resentnt-level Grievance Eye. Two, whoever kills Fu Qingzhu, reward: 10 million and one piece of Fierce-level Grievance Eye, paynt upon delivery of the head.
