In the private eting room on the second floor of the Town Governnt Tower, Ren Zhong and Ma Dafu sat facing each other.
Ma Xiaoling originally wanted to accompany them, but was dismissed by the old fat man.
She was hopping mad, but there was nothing she could do.
In the center of the room, a quaint tea table was set, with steaming, aromatic tea on it.
This tea wasn’t the common stuff sold in supply stores; it was an item from Comrade Ma’s private collection.
Just the scent of the steam made Ren Zhong feel refreshed and invigorated.
As a Fourth Level Citizen, Ma Dafu, whom the wilderness people could only ever dream of becoming, naturally had the privilege of enjoying life.
"Mr. Ren, please have so tea."
Ma Dafu gestured for him to drink.
Ren Zhong picked up the tea, sipped lightly, and a strange fragrance, both sweet and bitter, blossod on his tongue.
"How does it taste?"
Ma Dafu asked with a smile.
As per the rules, he should have been interrogating Ren Zhong in the basent interrogation room.
But since he set the rules, the two of them changed the eting venue to this guest room.
The interrogation that would make ordinary wilderness people shiver beca a joyful tea eting instead.
Ren Zhong put down his cup, "Good tea. But..."
"But what?"
"It’s too good."
Ma Dafu was slightly taken aback, but quickly nodded, "Indeed, it is too good. Just this one cup is worth the food and drink expenses of a normal wilderness person for two to three months."
Since Ma Dafu took the initiative to reveal the subtext, it showed that Ren Zhong’s previous speculation was completely correct.
Although Old Ma lived the luxurious life of an Advanced Citizen, he had, incredulously, developed a sense of sympathy for the lower class wilderness people.
After drinking tea and exchanging pleasantries, it was now close to nine o’clock at night, and Ma Dafu decided to speed things up and get to the point, "Mr. Ren, what is your main purpose for coming to see today?"
Ren Zhong replied with a question, "Wasn’t I brought here by the Guard?"
Comrade Old Ma squinted his eyes.
"Although you and I have only t once, I’m very good at reading people. The first ti we t, I noticed you had a scholarly aura, and you’re a very smart person, with a decent emotional intelligence."
"If you really just wanted to kill a person, you could have quietly taken care of it, done the deed without anyone knowing. You could have, but you didn’t; you chose to act publicly. This doesn’t align with soone like you, indicating your real goal was to et ."
"We talked about the Pu Cha officer the other day; I showed clear concern about it, and you kept observing . I was watching you too. I know you’re concerned about this too. You once said if I needed advice, I should co to you. You gave a clear hint. I also know you and Sun Miao were once colleagues and shared a close relationship."
"Sun Miao is not a simple character, so neither are you. You used the excuse of killing an evildoer to see . The first purpose was that you waited for for three days and didn’t get any response from . The second purpose was to test my nature with this matter and see if I am worthy of your trust."
"So, Mr. Ren, am I right?"
Ren Zhong picked up the cup again and took another small sip, "Completely right. I really do want to know what will happen next in Starfire Town."
He thought to himself, one must not underestimate the heroes of the world!
Even an ordinary Mayor possesses such intelligence!
If this is truly the case, then the iron wall of the system in this world is indeed daunting!
At the sa ti, he felt a sense of relief.
Firstly, Fat Ma probably isn’t a Werewolf.
Secondly, not only does he have a brain, but he can also be reborn.
Of course, Comrade Old Ma overlooked a layer.
Indeed, he ca for the relationship between the Pu Cha officer and Starfire Town and waited three days without a move, unable to find a reasonable opportunity to et Old Ma, so he seized the opportunity by committing a minor offense to bring himself to the town governnt.
After all, Old Ma also obtained solid, usable important intelligence from Ren Zhong, so Old Ma would definitely extend a favor and smooth over the small hassle, which wasn’t a big deal.
This way, Ren Zhong logically owed Old Ma a favor.
Then, when Old Ma found himself in trouble and needed help, he would rember this clever person who owed him a favor.
Sotis, voluntarily owing soone a favor is also a way to draw closer relationships.
Once the relationship is closer, becoming one of Old Ma’s advisors, one can then learn the truth behind the hidden crisis in Starfire Town and consequently unveil another layer of fog covering the surface of the vast world of Source Star.
Ma Dafu also took a sip of tea, "In three months, Starfire Town will definitely be abolished. Although it doesn’t make sense, this is an indisputable fact. I originally thought at most they would just cut down the number of temporary wilderness people, alas."
