Nightmare Apostle

Suddenly, "Ring, ring—"

Yang Xiao’s phone rang, he immediately rushed over to pick it up, instantly putting on a smiling face, his tone humble and polite, "Is it Miss Gu? It’s Yang Xiao."

On the other end, Miss Gu from the Gu Family still had that cheerful tone, but what she said made Yang Xiao’s blood run cold, "Yang Xiao, you seem quite pleased cursing us in the office, don’t you?"

"No, absolutely not, which son of a bitch filed a complaint against me?" Yang Xiao glanced around, the office door was locked, he was alone, and the soundproofing here was very good.

Not wanting to linger on this issue, Yang Xiao went straight to the point, "Miss Gu, please report to Chief Commissioner Gu, that Sheng Jingxuan is not a good person, he can even betray his own brother. If we cooperate with them, he will surely betray us in the future! These guys are untrustworthy!"

"Do you really need to tell me they’re unreliable?" Miss Gu dismissed the notion.

Yang Xiao was taken aback, seemingly realizing something, suddenly lowering his voice, "Miss Gu, I’m a bit slow-witted, I hope you can enlighten me, what’s going on here?"

"Aren’t you quite smart? Can’t figure out this matter?" Miss Gu just laughed.

Yang Xiao’s eyes lit up, suddenly having an epiphany, "Got it, this is the General Bureau’s strategy, openly building roads while secretly crossing the river, Dean Sheng is fine, this is all for the Dharma Sect and Yiling Academy to see, to make them lower their guard, and catch them off guard when Dean Sheng returns successfully."

"Sort of, but the process is much more complex and exciting than you think, Dean Sheng is indeed poisoned by an insider placed by Dharma Sect within the Esoteric Sect."

At this point, Miss Gu sneered, "In order to poison Dean Sheng, Dharma Sect doesn’t hesitate to expose their embedded pawn within the Esoteric Sect, who is a Half-step Nether Realm elder. Seems like they’re really forced into a corner."

"Then... is Dean Sheng alright?" Yang Xiao was very concerned about this.

"Nothing serious, Esoteric Sect isn’t stupid, they had suspected this elder before but never had evidence, this time, they seized the chance of him preparing medication to dig out this mole."

"Dean Sheng’s poison was swapped out in advance, replaced with another drug that also has certain toxicity, the effects mimic that of the deadly poison."

"Acting must be done thoroughly, suffering a bit is necessary to deceive that elder." Miss Gu explained.

"Brilliant, I bet this scheme was first suggested by Chief Commissioner Gu, indeed worthy of such a figure, a dragon among men, a role model for us all!" Yang Xiao entered his adept flattery phase, praising generously.

Upon hearing this, the other side sighed, seemingly a bit regretful, "Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Yang, it wasn’t my grandfather’s idea, according to him, there’s no need for such pretentiousness, just confront them directly."

"I knew it, Chief Commissioner Gu speaks precisely, we like hearing that! Just get it done, why waste words on them!" Yang Xiao tactfully adapted, changing his stance.

"Grandfather asked me to relay to you, there’s a source of leakage inside your Provincial Office, haven’t yet identified who, but the person isn’t of low level, able to access core intelligence."

"So regarding Dean Sheng’s return, you must not tell anyone, the entire Provincial Office, you are the only one aware of it, even your Provincial Bureau Chief Hong Anguo is kept in the dark." Miss Gu instructed.

Yang Xiao excitedly responded, "Understood, thankful for the organization’s trust. No matter what it costs, I, Yang Xiao, will strive to repay Chief Commissioner Gu and Miss Gu’s trust even one bit..."

"Alright, I’ve heard enough flattering today, say it next time." Miss Gu interrupted.

"Next time I’ll bring something fresh." Yang Xiao chuckled heartily.

Knowing Dean Sheng is fine, Yang Xiao felt reassured, he truly had affections towards Sheng Yanlin.

"By the way, what about the Provincial Office’s transport team this time..." Yang Xiao tentatively inquired.

"The person is nearly dead, sending a transport team over would be too obvious, this time the transport team is postponed, but you still need to go, Cannibal Buddha and the General Bureau personally named you, claiming you promised him, his daughter eagerly awaits you, even has lovesickness, is there such a thing?" Miss Gu curiously asked.

"It’s me, but listen, it’s not what you think, I was..." Yang Xiao planned to push Mirror Ghost to take the blame.

Oh, now he’s named it Yang Jing, he thinks it quite fitting.

"Don’t say anymore." Miss Gu interrupted him, "The General Bureau hopes you can maintain a good relationship with Cannibal Buddha, if you become Cannibal Buddha’s son-in-law, I can now promise you, any Provincial Bureau Chief position across the country is yours for the picking."

Initially, Yang Xiao intended to refuse, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but hesitate, tentatively asking after a while, "I’m not quite capable, but I have a friend who might give it a try."

"Is that person from our Patrol Defense Office?" Miss Gu pursued.

Yang Xiao thought for a moment, considering Yang Jing to be his son, should count as someone from the Patrol Defense Office, thus replied, "Kind of, and he listens to me very well, we have a very close relationship."

"How close?" Miss Gu expressed interest.

"He calls me dad, close enough?" Yang Xiao blurted.

The other line was silent for a full three seconds before Miss Gu ultimately abandoned trying to understand Yang Xiao’s thought process, "I don’t understand the friendship between you men, I don’t care who calls who dad, as long as you can handle Cannibal Buddha’s daughter, the General Bureau will credit you, a big accomplishment!"
