Xu Shen's face looked grim. Will Sister Li be massacred?
He was indebted to the mask, which saved his life twice, and he had no chance to repay it.
"You'd better not be stupid." Liu Jichuan was worried that Xu Shen would be impulsive, so he said unhappily, "Even if you follow that girl, at most you will die together. There is no point."
Xu Shen was silent.
"You still have a bright future if you stay in the bureau. With your current strength, as long as you are careful when carrying out missions in the future, it will be no problem for you to live to Lao Wang's age."
Liu Jichuan said to Xu Shen: "I know you will feel bad, but there are always some things in this world that we cannot change, and you have to accept it. This is growth."
“Not everything can be reversed in anger. Anger can never solve a problem. It will only give others the opportunity to solve you.”
Xu Shen looked at Director Liu and said, "Director, can't you help Sister Li?"
Liu Jichuan's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a while, then said, "I can't do anything about it. Although our Xumi Bureau is an orthodox force and has backers in the inner city, this is a dispute between high-ranking clans. Without sufficient interests, no one will easily intervene, unless there are some reckless fools."
Interests... Xu Shen clenched his fists slightly, but soon loosened them. He understood that Director Liu was telling the truth. This was the cold reality. He would not be able to help even if he entered the inner city. After all, given his current situation, he knew nothing about the inner city. At most, he could be a thug, but how many people could he take care of?
If I could enter the third form...
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly.
Since entering the second form, he has not heard about how to enter the third form.
This question is not suitable to be asked in the spiritual world, so I can only ask the director or the Light Chasing Club.
"Although you have made great contributions this time, I will not approve your application for retirement." Liu Jichuan stood up, walked to Xu Shen and patted his shoulder.
He said earnestly: "You are still young, you must take control of your own future. Don't try desperately to protect everything when you are powerless, otherwise you will only be destroyed together."
But if you miss something, you will miss it forever... Xu Shen was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand, Director."
Seeing Xu Shen listened to his advice, Liu Jichuan was relieved and said, "It's good that you understand. Don't learn from that girl's stubbornness. From today on, Chu Bai will take over the position of the captain of the first team. I will transfer some useful people to the first team later, and try to avoid you taking care of some small tasks yourself."
"In terms of welfare benefits, you and Chu Bai are equal. From now on, the bureau will rely on you two to guard it. The lives and deaths of millions of people in the Black Light District are also in your hands!"
Chu Bai nodded slightly. He already knew the result before he set out.
Xu Shen said: "Director, I want to transfer the original members of Team 2 to Team 1. They are all veteran members and I am more familiar with them."
"Okay." Liu Jichuan agreed without thinking.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now." Chu Bai said to Liu Jichuan.
Xu Shen said: "Me too."
"Okay, you are tired too, go back and rest." Liu Jichuan did not try to persuade them to stay.
After both of them left and the office door closed, Liu Jichuan returned to his chair.
The remaining Meiya hesitated and said, "Director, my business..."
"You performed well this time, but I still need to consider your matter again." Liu Jichuan's face returned to indifference.
Meiya bit her lip, wanting to say something but hesitant, but seemed a little afraid. Finally, she glanced at Li Meina next to her. Their eyes met. Li Meina shook her head very slightly. Meiya seemed to be discouraged and lowered her head and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"Well, go ahead."
Liu Jichuan responded calmly.
After Meiya left, Li Meina said softly, "A lot of people went this time, and the number of soldiers handed in by others seems to be a little small."
"Some of them must have embezzled it, but it doesn't matter. They wouldn't be stupid enough to sell it. They would keep it for themselves." Liu Jichuan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes deep, and said, "As long as they keep it for themselves, it's equivalent to working for the bureau. It doesn't matter whether they hand it over or not."
Li Meina nodded and said, "Aren't we going to let Xu Shen make a choice about what's going on with the Light Chasing Club?"
"No rush." ​​Liu Jichuan said expressionlessly.
…
…
"Congratulations."
Walking out of the director's office one after another, Xu Shen and Chu Bai walked down the stairs out of the Xu Secret Bureau. When they were about to part ways, Chu Bai said to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen said: "You too, congratulations."
Chu Bai glanced at Xu Shen and said, "I know something about the Jiang family, but I suggest you don't get involved in this mess."
"Oh?" Xu Shen asked doubtfully, "You and Mu Xue seem to know a lot."
"After all, we have served as captains of the first echelon longer than you. When you take over, you will be able to browse freely in the bureau's database. Some information can only be seen by the captain."
Chu Bai smiled and said, "Although we are from the Lower City, the Ruins Secret Bureau is still an orthodox force. There are a lot of introductions to the Inner City in the information, but they are all relatively superficial, but they are enough for us to understand."
Xu Shen understood and said, "Thank you very much."
"The director is right." Chu Bai patted Xu Shen on the shoulder and said, "It's hard to live. Don't die easily."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xu Shen looked at his departing back, fell into deep thought, and after a while he turned around and left.
Return to Team 2’s base camp, the manor.
Xu Shen saw Mu Xue, Gu Qiufeng and Luo Hua.
The team of five people is now down to four.
Xu Shen had just lost Captain Zhou Ye not long ago, and he did not expect to lose another powerful team member in the blink of an eye. The fate of the Ruins Slayer was so fragile that a certain idea in his mind was constantly stirring and seemed to be spreading out.
"Xu Shen, Sister Mu said she is going to retire and leave?" Gu Qiufeng and Luo Hua asked hurriedly when they saw Xu Shen returning.
Xu Shen glanced at Mu Xue and nodded slightly.
When Mu Xue saw Xu Shen's expression, she understood the choice he had made. A hint of mockery flashed across her eyes, and she said indifferently: "Your choice is correct. Surviving is the most important thing."
"I hope we can meet again someday." Xu Shen looked at her.
"Meet in the inner city or the outer city?" Mu Xue asked back, then smiled again and turned to go upstairs.
Obviously, in her opinion, Xu Shen's words were just a polite greeting.
This inevitably made her feel a little disappointed. Xiaoli was too obsessed with love. Although Xu Shen had good potential and was growing fast, it was useless if he didn't have a heart.
The mask was misplaced after all .
Xu Shen looked at Mu Xue's back as she went upstairs, silent and without saying a word.
"What kind of city is this?" Gu Qiufeng asked in surprise.
Luo Hua asked in confusion: "Is Captain Mu going to retire to the inner city?"
"Sister Mu is moving?" Gu Qiufeng was a little surprised and happy for Mu Xue, but soon he thought of how she felt when she returned, and his face turned bitter again. He asked, "If our identity and household registration are transferred to the inner city, will the Mo family stop bullying us? "
"Perhaps."
…
…
After leaving the manor, Xu Shen returned to the Yanluo district.
As soon as he returned, Zhang Liyao came to congratulate Xu Shen.
In addition, many gifts were sent from wealthy people from all sides.
Many of them are wealthy people on the protection list, while some are gifts from large cross-regional companies outside the protection list.
"Yaoyao was so happy to hear that the master had returned safely." Zhang Liyao's voice became very coquettish, and she said, "Yaoyao took the initiative to spread the news that the master would be promoted, and they all sent congratulatory letters."
Xu Shen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that these people knew about his affairs in just half a day.
"Don't act on your own in the future." Xu Shen said calmly while accepting all the gifts.
Seeing that Xu Shen was not really angry, Zhang Liyao smiled and agreed repeatedly.
Beep.
Xu Shen's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was not the communicator from the Xu Secret Bureau. The caller was Da Lili. He immediately waved his hand and asked Zhang Liyao to leave.
After she walked away, he continued, "Is it so urgent?"
Big Lily's voice came, smiling: "Sister Yuanyuan and the others came back early, now we only need the consul."
"Got it. Let's go now." Xu Shen said calmly.
"Uh-huh."
Xu Shen went downstairs again and drove to the light-chasing party.
Having been here several times, Xu Shen was already familiar with the route. He took the elevator and arrived at the leader's office floor.
As the elevator door opened, Xu Shen saw Da Lili waiting in the corridor. When she saw Xu Shen, she quickly came over and said, "Everyone is waiting for you in the conference room."
"Um."
Xu Shen followed Da Lili to the meeting room.
Xu Shen glanced around and saw two more figures sitting at the leader's seat.
There are nine leaders in total.
In addition, Zhou Yuanyuan and another candidate sat at the end of the leader's seat.
"Hey, the busy man is here." A sarcastic voice sounded, it was the young man who had been to the "vegetable market".
Xu Shen glanced at the other person. They had different statuses before, but now they were equal. Moreover, after hunting down the Mo family members in Xudong and seeing the scenes in the inner city, Xu Shen's thoughts on many things deepened.
Be cautious and careful, just face the unknown.
Beep.
Suddenly, the communicator in his hand rang.
Xu Shen lowered his head and took a look. It was a message from the Xu Secret Bureau, and the caller was Mo Xiaoxiao.
Xu Shen immediately left the meeting room and went outside to answer the call: "Xiao Xiao?"
"I heard that you encountered trouble with the Mo family after returning from Xudong?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked hurriedly, with concern in her voice.
Xu Shen felt warm in his heart and said, "It's okay, let's talk about this later. I just happened to go find you too. I have something to do right now."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Mo Xiaoxiao said and hung up in a hurry.
Xu Shen looked at the flashing communication interface, smiled, put away the communicator, his expression became cold, and he pushed the door open again and walked into the meeting room.
"You are such a busy man." The young man sneered, "Is it the call from the Xu Secret Bureau, or some beautiful lady?"
Xu Shen looked at the other person and said, "This is the second time. If you talk to me like this again, don't blame me for beating you."
The young man was stunned, and immediately slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying: "Say it again? It's only been a few days since you became the second form, and your wings have hardened?!"
With a whoosh, Xu Shen threw out a bone and smashed it over.
