Nightmare Apostle

Next, he still needs to settle relations with the Provincial Office. He has only been in Qinglan City for a short time, his foundation is too shallow, and he must assume that all his actions are transparent to Hong Anguo and Wu Qingcang. To achieve this, he must first exchange greetings with these two.

Wu Qingcang wouldn’t pose a problem, he doesn’t care about this.

There should be no major issue with Hong Anguo either. After all, if not for the sake of the monk, at least for the sake of Buddha, he represents the face of Chief Commissioner Gu.

But if he doesn’t take the initiative to greet them, it represents him not taking these two seriously.

This is a matter of attitude. No matter what, they are still his direct superiors, and he must show the respect that is due.

Moreover, Hong Anguo is suspicious by nature. He has been close to Vice Commissioner Zhao lately, which would certainly raise his doubts. Yang Xiao knows he needs to find an opportunity to explain clearly.

The next afternoon, Yang Xiao took the initiative to visit Wu Qingcang’s office, using the disposal of Second Guardian’s body by the Huai Shuo Public Office as an excuse, he told Wu Qingcang about the events he had recently experienced that he could mention.

Yang Xiao was somewhat surprised that Wu Qingcang’s reaction to these events was very indifferent, only warning him, saying that if that person appears in Qinglan City next time, he must report to him in advance, otherwise don’t blame him for being impolite.

Yang Xiao could only smile awkwardly, he naturally understood who Wu Qingcang was referring to — his dear elder brother Ming Yue.

It was evident that Wu Qingcang also placed considerable importance on elder brother Ming Yue, who was a worthy adversary for him to be concerned about.

Having resolved matters with Wu Qingcang, Yang Xiao invited Director Hong Anguo for dinner in the evening, and he readily agreed.

Yang Xiao carefully selected a low-key, luxurious, and sophisticated Chinese-style grand hotel. The two engaged in lively conversation during the meal, exchanging drinks. Ignoring appearance and age differences, they seemed like brothers with different fathers.

Seeing the atmosphere was almost right, Yang Xiao stood up to pour wine for dear elder brother and recounted his recent experiences to Hong Anguo, naturally, all were embellished.

To this, Hong Anguo expressed great generosity, first stating that the Provincial Office would fully support Yang Xiao’s actions.

The Northern Han Family was once a cancer among the Jiangbei Province’s martial arts forces, relying on some connections accumulated with the Patrol Defense Office over the years, Han Chen and Han Li acted lawlessly, committed acts of injustice, and did evil. Now that these two villains have been brought to justice, it is entirely deserved.

If the Han Family could be used by them, it would be a great achievement indeed. Hong Anguo clearly stated that once this matter concludes, he would personally commend Yang Xiao.

"Brother Hong treats me like his own younger brother, I truly don’t know how to repay Brother Hong!" At the dining table, Yang Xiao was so moved that he almost knelt down to worship brother Hong.

"Don’t say that, Younger Brother Yang has boundless prospects. It’s a blessing for me as the elder brother to be able to be brothers with you. With Chief Commissioner Gu’s support, your rise to prominence is just around the corner!" Hong Anguo patted Yang Xiao’s shoulder, his affection was genuine.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was somewhat dazed. When he first came to the Provincial Office, the other’s attitude wasn’t as good as it is now.

He secretly defined himself as an evil cultivator, repeatedly emphasizing and giving him a hard time.

Now indeed, Feng Shui turns, it truly is easier to be an official when someone is in the court!

After three rounds of drinks, Hong Anguo, emboldened by alcohol, casually asked, "Younger Brother Yang, I heard that the Headquarters is very concerned about Yiling Academy, this time Chief Commissioner Gu might personally oversee from Shangjing Headquarters."

"Chief Commissioner Gu is wise and formidable. With him overseeing, naturally, everything is safe. But you may not know, this operation is not on our turf, but in Jintong Province."

"There, the customs are fierce, the relationships among various forces are intricate and complex. I worry that while you charge forward, some unseeing guys might stab you in the back from behind." Hong Anguo looked worried and could not help but sigh.

"Brother Hong is indeed thoughtful, my qualifications are still shallow, and I’m not familiar with the people and the land there, there might be trouble."

Yang Xiao also learned from Hong Anguo’s muddled ways, and after thinking said, "If an esteemed predecessor could go to Yiling City in Jintong Province to serve as the overall commander of this operation, that would... that would be secure."

"Indeed, but where can we find such a person?" Hong Anguo touched his chin, frowning deeply, yet his peripheral glance vaguely swept toward Yang Xiao’s face, as if awaiting something.

Suddenly, Yang Xiao’s hesitant gaze locked onto Hong Anguo, his expression instantly became joyful, "Brother Hong, why look for someone else? Who is more reliable than one of our own? You could serve as the commander on the front lines, couldn’t you?"

"Me?" Hong Anguo feigned surprise, waving his hands, refusing, "No, no, I still have to stay here to oversee this large situation in Jiangbei Province, besides I... I..."

Yang Xiao didn’t give him the chance to falsely refuse, continuing, "Brother Hong, please don’t decline anymore, help your younger brother out. I trust you, with Brother Hong overseeing the overall situation and unified command from the back, I’m assured on the front lines!"

Seeing the conversation reached this stage, Hong Anguo reluctantly agreed, "Alright, since you say so, if I continue to refuse, it would be too disrespectful. Let’s continue to search for a suitable candidate first. If there isn’t one, elder brother will accompany you on this journey!"
