Chapter 985 - Gift (1/2)

”Did you send me back to the Northwest so you could take Zhou Yingxue to Luoyang City with you?” Yang Xiaojin asked Ren Xiaosu nonchalantly as she sat down on the sofa.

Ren Xiaosu, who had been sitting on the sofa and reading a book, trembled. ”I only asked you to return to the Northwest because I care about you. There were no other motivations. I got Zhou Yingxue to come to Luoyang City because her superpower is more suitable for such large-scale battles.”

Before this, Yang Xiaojin did not make any mention of this matter. As a result, Ren Xiaosu thought they were already past that.

However, Yang Xiaojin did not mention it because she was considerate of the overall situation and did not want to argue over such trifles during critical moments. However, this did not mean she had forgotten about it.

Ren Xiaosu quickly put down the book in his hand and walked over to ask, ”Does your shoulder still hurt? Do you want me to massage it for you?”

”It's OK.” Yang Xiaojin waved it off. ”Although applying the black medicine on it didn't work as miraculously as when used on external wounds, it still recovered quicker than usual. It doesn't hurt that much anymore.”

Someone from the Qing Consortium who was in charge of the security around the villa came in and reported to Ren Xiaosu, ”There's someone who'd like to see you.”

”Who is it? It must be something very important. I better go handle it.” Ren Xiaosu followed the Qing Consortium personnel and walked out.

Yang Xiaojin's eyebrows twitched. She wanted to fire a shot at Ren Xiaosu's back with her black sniper rifle.

The person who came to see Ren Xiaosu was the director of the Public Order Division of Luoyang City. Actually, this was not the only person who had come to pay Ren Xiaosu a visit. After chasing away a group of them earlier this morning, their enthusiasm did not subside.

In fact, authority was something that could make everyone circle around you. As long as you had the authority, not even beating these people with a stick could stop them from flocking to you.

However, the director of the Public Order Division had also heard about what happened in the morning. He was here purely to express his attitude and prove he did come to call on Ren Xiaosu before.

After all, some high-ranking officials were very erratic. If you went to call on them, they might chase you away as though they were very moral.

But if you didn't, they would remember and mark you in their minds.

So actually, driving them away was just an act.

Now that Luoyang City had been taken over by Ren Xiaosu, who knew exactly which type of person he was?

The director of the Public Order Division had been involved in politics for a long time and had seen too many unwritten rules practiced. Therefore, he felt he had to make this trip regardless. It didn't matter even if he got chased away since that wouldn't hurt him.

However, just as he was mentally prepared to be driven away, he saw Ren Xiaosu walking out enthusiastically to welcome him, and he even took the initiative to shake hands with him!

The director of the Public Order Division was a little flattered. ”Oh? You actually came out to meet me? I'm a little nervous.”

He thought to himself, 'It's just as I thought! The group of people who came in the morning were simply not important enough. That's why they got chased away. As the director of the Public Order Division, of course I won't get rejected! I still carry more weight!'

Ren Xiaosu gripped the director's hand and chuckled, ”You must be the director of the Public Order Division of Luoyang City, right? Good job in gathering the surveillance footage.”

The director of the Public Order Division felt touched and said, ”You're too kind. I'm really ashamed that you had to trouble yourself over such a trivial matter. I heard about you a while ago. You were totally our Luoyang City's guardian angel during the Battle of Wangchunmen Boulevard. Since it's the first time I'm meeting you despite hearing about you for some time, I've brought you some gifts.”

Ren Xiaosu's eyes lit up. ”You're too polite. What did you bring?”

The director of the Public Order Division was stumped. 'He's even asking what I've brought so directly? What a straightforward leader…'
