219 Another person (1/2)

After finishing packing up his belongings in the afternoon, he took a bus to the district office.

Xiao Luo and his crew of three had been directly summoned by the director of the district bureau. The director was a short and chubby man, about 45 or 46 years old. As he had been raised in the army, so he naturally gave off an aura of military authority.

”The four of you actually brought all the indecent trading spots in Liren to an end,” Hou Zhijie said with a smile. ”Putting aside the fact that you have all become famous all over Jiangcheng's police stations, your name in the Jiangcheng underworld is like rumbling thunder. Well done. I, Hou Zhijie, especially appreciate youngsters such as yourselves.”

The praise brought the trio of Liu Tieguo, Wang Lihu, and Ye Qiu to cloud nine. This was the director of the district bureau. Receiving such high praise was better than having tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars thrown at them.

Xiao Luo was very calm. If possible, he did not want to deal with these veterans. Since they had reached such a high rank, it usually meant they were cunning and scheming like a fox. It made them difficult to read.

”There is only one single purpose in transferring you here to the district bureau, and that is so you will destroy the underground drug network in Guangming District.”

Hou Zhijie opened the door and said, ”Before that, let me introduce you to a person who will be joining you to work on this case.”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

At that moment, someone was knocking on the office door. The door was quickly pushed open. A man with a stern face and shimmering bright eyes entered the room.

”Speak of the devil. Come, let me introduce you.”

Hou Zhijie came out from behind his desk and gestured to the man entering. ”This is Wang Yongjia. He is the captain of our district bureau's anti-drug team. He has been tracking and cracking down on the underground drug network in Guangming District, so he is very knowledgeable of the situation here in Guangming District. With his guidance, you will be able to put in half the work and get double the result. He will be a great help.”

”Yongjia, these four courageous youngsters are the ones who took care of the indecent dealings in Liren. Meet Xiao Luo, Liu Tieguo, Wang Lihu, and Ye Qiu!”

”It's nice to meet you. Welcome to the district bureau.”

Wang Yongjia smiled as he greeted Xiao Luo and his crew.

Liu Tieguo immediately turned into a bootlicker. ”Hello, Team Leader Wang, your name is familiar. I've often heard it back when we were at the Liren Police Station. After meeting you in person, it seems you are indeed as talented and charismatic as they say.”

”Yes, yes, yes, charismatic and exceptional,” Wang Lihu quickly added.

”It's not only exceptional, but it is also truly shocking,” Ye Qiu said. ”Team Leader Wang is the epitome of an upright man.”

Although they were not as proficient as Ma Pinjin, there was still a need to say some praising words.

Wang Yongjia just shook his head and smiled. He looked a little helpless.

On the other hand, Xiao Luo was just quietly watching him. Based on Hou Zhijie's words, he was able to deduce the subliminal message. In this newly formed five-person task force, Wang Yongjia had an absolute leadership position. However, that was not the main point. The most important thing was whether or not Wang Yongjia had been sent to monitor him. He did not believe that Gu Qianlin would not take any action. If Wang Yongjia was there to collect evidence of his illegal crimes, he had to be on guard.

...

Upon leaving the director's office, Xiao Luo ran into a familiar acquaintance.

He saw the beautiful face that gave off an icy aura and made it difficult to approach. She was wearing a police uniform. She had bright eyes and a cold expression. Her snow-white skin gave off a delicate feeling. This was none other than Gu Qianxue.

”Are you here too? As a police officer?”

Xiao Luo was slightly astonished. The girl had been as naïve as a blank piece of paper. She had left a deep impression in his mind.

Gu Qianxue nodded. ”My sister let me stay here.”

”Oh.”

Xiao Luo suddenly realized that having a connection was beneficial. Personnel could be mobilized or arranged at will.

”Xiao Gu, do you two know each other?” Wang Yongjia curiously asked.

”Team Leader Wang, we were from the same training camp, so we know each other.”

Liu Tieguo looked at Gu Qianxue and said with familiarity, ”Little Sis Gu, we will be colleagues from here on out.”

Gu Qianxue glanced at him and quickly looked away. Her eyes fell back onto Xiao Luo.

”What are you always looking at me for?” Xiao Luo asked. Her constant stares made him uncomfortable.

”Because you are handsome,” Gu Qianxue seriously replied.
