Chapter 545: My surname is Lu, my surname is Fu, I am Zheng Tiao and I am Auxiliary
.....
Qian Jin's heart tightened, and he immediately stood up.
Without time to think further, he picked up his phone while walking out and answered.
Lowering his voice, he called out: "Hello? Who may I ask for?"
Yes, New City's 749 Bureau was rotten, but Qian Jin lived comfortably here, somewhat like the local emperor of White Ridge. However, he was never the local emperor of New City.
The world was vast, and it wasn't just New City alone.
Local emperors also had to distinguish between celestial dynasties and small barbarian states....
A voice came from the other end of the phone.
[I'm looking for White Ridge 749's Qian Jin, Bureau Chief Qian]
Qian Jin felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.The voice sounded very young, probably a second-generation, third-generation scion from an aristocratic family.
Easy to fool, easy to fool, young people don't have many schemes.
Qian Jin immediately channeled spiritual energy into his hand, covering the phone as he spoke: "That's me, that's me, I am Qian Jin. May I ask, what matter brings you to me?!"
[We're at Thousand Gold Hotel, please come over]
Thousand Gold Hotel!!!!
Qian Jin's heart skipped a beat!
He wanted to ask something, but felt it wasn't appropriate in the current situation.
It would be best to understand the circumstances face-to-face.
After thinking for two seconds.
Qian Jin said: "Alright, I'll set off immediately."
As soon as the call ended.
Qian Jin's expression turned grave.
Hanjing, leopard number plates, we.......
All signs indicated that major figures from above had arrived, and the person calling might just be an accompanying errand runner.....
He didn't dare delay.
Immediately rushed at full speed toward Thousand Gold Hotel.
On the other side.
After Fu Xinghe hung up, he also called White Ridge 749's Deputy Bureau Chief, Hou Dehai.
The content was similar.
The only slight difference was.
[Deputy Chief Hou, please come to Thousand Gold Hotel in ten minutes, we'll be waiting for you here]
Inside White Ridge 749's Body Refining Square.
Hou Dehai, bare-chested with scars covering his upper body, looked at the darkened phone screen.
Thoughts churned in his eyes, but he didn't speak.
Just silently set a ten-minute alarm, then bathed and dressed.......
Soon.
Outside Thousand Gold Hotel.
Qian Jin flew over with a grave expression. On the way, he received messages from his subordinates at the bureau saying that sixteen investigators had died at Thousand Gold Hotel.
Their cultivation levels ranged from low to high, including Heavenly Perception seventh-level investigators and veteran Heaven Human first-stage late-phase investigators.
Thinking of this.
Qian Jin focused his attention on Lu Ding and Fu Xinghe standing outside Thousand Gold Hotel in his field of vision.
Whether it was their clothing or appearances, they looked exactly like the killers captured in the bodycam footage from the deceased investigators.
Qian Jin felt caution rising in his heart.
But he didn't make any other excessive moves, nor did he carry angry emotions because of his subordinates' deaths.
He still landed obediently and cupped his hands toward Lu Ding, whose stance and aura were clearly stronger: "May I ask who you two are........"
As soon as he stepped forward.
Fu Xinghe stepped sideways to block him, reaching out to shake hands with him.
Slap!!!
Qian Jin clearly felt something being pressed into his palm, but what it was, he couldn't see or sense.
He guessed in his heart that it might be some treasure used to bribe him?
After thinking for a moment, he spoke first: "May I ask how you two should be addressed?"
Lu Ding: "My surname is Lu."
Lu?
Was Lu a major surname in Great Han?
Just as Qian Jin was pondering this.
Fu Xinghe said: "My surname is Fu."
Fu!!
Yes!! This one exists!!!
Before he could speak, Lu Ding's voice sounded again: "I'm the primary investigator."
Fu Xinghe: "I'm the assistant."
The two spoke one after another, performing in tandem, making Qian Jin look left and right.
Just when he thought he'd discovered some pattern.
And it should be the young man wearing scholar-warrior sleeves' turn to speak.
He looked over.
Eh!
Fu Xinghe, who shouldn't have spoken, opened his mouth to break the previous pattern.
"Chief Qian, would you like to see what's in your hand?"
Fu Xinghe said, not giving Qian Jin any reaction time, directly releasing his hand.
The sudden movement.
Made him instinctively tighten his grip on the object in his hand.
When he turned his palm over to look.
A brand new special merit award medal lay quietly in his palm.
At this moment.
Qian Jin only felt it was scalding hot!
Extremely scalding hot!!!
His pupils dilated sharply then contracted, wanting to drop the object in his hand but not daring to.
Lu Ding watched this scene and smiled faintly.
Simple phrases constructed a superficial thinking habit, then broke it before it fully matured.
This created a deep impression while invisibly leading others by the nose.
Then, before he could react, throwing out another heavy bomb, revealing identities, emphasizing characteristics.
Triggering intense emotional fluctuations.
Even an old fox like Qian Jin couldn't handle it!
Fu Xinghe....
Was indeed a smart person.
The stunned Qian Jin was awakened by Fu Xinghe's quiet voice.
"Qian Jin, Chief Qian, do you really only want to move forward, not upward?"
That previous combo, ending with this perfect finishing touch phrase.
Different light immediately shone in Qian Jin's eyes, though he also had concerns and worries in his heart.
"I..... still have a chance?"
What he had done, Qian Jin knew better than anyone.
His actions, if done outside, would get him arrested in the afternoon for what he did in the morning.
Stripped of insignia, detained.
All the procedures for double regulation, he would experience fully.
Even procedures beyond double regulation, he would experience fully!
Qian Jin was very clear about his composition, but he didn't regret it, nor had he ever fantasized about being able to return.
But today was different.
He knew what the special merit award medal meant.
He knew what the Fu surname meant.
The combined weight of these two things directly made Qian Jin forget about his subordinates' deaths, turning instead to anticipate a possibility he shouldn't anticipate.
He still remembered the 749 Bureau's employment declaration!
He still remembered the investigators' code oath!!
Fu Xinghe pushed his glasses: "Work inevitably has moments of mistakes. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary talents. Whether there's a chance isn't for me to say, that depends on Chief Qian's performance."
Ambiguous words, spoken yet seemingly unsaid.
But Qian Jin heard many meanings from them.
Combined with the previous situation at Thousand Gold Hotel, Great Han's consistent temper and habits, and the appearance of these two people now.
Qian Jin seemed to have figured something out!
He could reach the bureau chief position, proving he wasn't stupid.
Being able to mix until now so comfortably relying on his White Ridge 749 Bureau Chief identity when Great Han had half-abandoned New City proved he was very smart!!
So.....
Han Envoy, gold-plating, and other terms kept flashing through Qian Jin's mind.
Finally, only one phrase remained.
[Great Han might restart New City!!!!]
While deep in thought, Qian Jin was suddenly awakened by an overwhelming aura rushing toward him.
He instinctively turned to look.
He saw Lu Ding standing nearby, with spiritual energy floating into his body, causing phenomena to rise and fall, darkness spreading, with billowing black smoke pouring out until it filled the sky.
Among it, the Sin Dragon flickered in and out.
As it swam, it calmed the aura on Lu Ding's body.
