City: My Disciples Have Shocked The World

Chapter 27 There’s Still A Plan B, Preparations For Both Sides!

“What do you mean?”

Lan Chao did not understand. It had only been two days since his master left the mountain. How did he encounter the vermin in the law enforcement system? Could it be that he had been negligent in his work, causing cockroaches to crawl all over the ground?

“Come in first.” Lan Chao invited Qiu Lingruo in and went to fetch the kettle. The half bottle of water was lukewarm and could not make tea. He made do with it and poured a cup of plain water for Qiu Lingruo.

Qiu Lingruo looked around the palm-sized house. The big-headed television and a radio were the only two appliances. The three-person-wide sofa made it no different between sitting and squatting. The small coffee table would be maxed out with three dishes.

The small living room could be swept at a glance. The furniture was placed tightly together, leaving just enough space for an aisle as wide as a person. If one was not careful, they would hit the corner of a table. The roof was also made very low. One look and one could tell that the lighting was not good.

Qiu Lingruo teased, “Senior Brother, you’re a bureau chief and yet you live here. You’re quite thrifty.”

“Keep your voice down. Your sister-in-law is sleeping.” Lan Chao sat opposite Qiu Lingruo. “This house was given to me by the unit when I got married. At that time, it was enough for two people to live together.”

In this era, the development wave was still on the rise. Even though Lan Chao was a director, his salary was only so-so apart from better treatment. After all, ordinary people had just lived a comfortable life, so they could not afford to be extravagant.

Qiu Lingruo placed the evidence on the coffee table again. The small coffee table was overwhelmed, and its four legs creaked.

Lan Chao couldn’t bear to look. He scratched his gray temples in frustration. Because of his years of worry, he looked to be in his forties. His face was as wrinkled as a ditch.

He worked hard and strictly enforced the law. He worked so hard that his hair turned white. In the end, there were still some fish that slipped through the net and landed in Kong Xiuyao’s hands.

Lan Chao covered his face with his hands and said gloomily, “Is Master’s health alright?”

“Very good. He eats and sleeps well. He’s stronger than you and me. It’s just that a few hooligans always find trouble with Master. Master is busy dealing with them,” Qiu Lingruo said proudly.

This was also what she was most proud of. After all, out of the hundred odd fellow disciples, she was the only one accompanying Kong Xiuyao. As long as she thought about how the others could only be envious, her vanity swelled rapidly. She was even happier than if she had snatched a big order!

However, Lan Chao was not in the same good mood as her. “Does the hooligans you mentioned include this deputy director?”

“No, Master had already sent a few hooligans away during the day. However, he was worried that the hooligans would take revenge, so he asked me to look for you.”

Qiu Lingruo briefly explained the situation and Kong Xiuyao’s concerns to Lan Chao.

When Lan Chao heard this, he nodded in agreement. “According to what you said, Master’s worries are indeed very reasonable. If you hit someone, that Black Bull will definitely make a big deal out of it. He might go and find trouble with Master tomorrow!” “Ah? Senior Brother’s 45 men are guarding Master’s house. They’re good at assassination. If the Black Bull goes overboard, they might drag him to the back of the mountain and bury him. Is the disappearance of the deputy director a big case?” Qiu Lingruo asked worriedly.

“Of course it’s a major case! No matter how many bad things that deputy director has done, he’s still a member of the public security system. He’ll definitely attract the attention of the higher-ups!”

Both of them believed that the people under the 45th could do things without anyone knowing and eventually make things into an unsolved case. However, Kong Xiuyao was used to keeping a low profile. Being visited by the police would definitely disturb his peace.

Lan Chao also did not allow solutions beyond the legal scope of his jurisdiction.

“45th’s solutions are too radical. It’s absolutely not allowed! When the sun rises, I’ll hand these materials over to the bureau first, then follow you to Pingxu Village. I don’t believe that the deputy director will dare to mess around!” Lan Chao stared at the information for a moment and suddenly remembered something. “Where did you get this information? Are your methods legitimate? Don’t learn from your 45th Senior Brother who solves everything with knives. You have to obey the law!”

“Alright, alright!” Qiu Lingruo put down the cup and said impatiently, “I’m not from your system. Don’t care about me!”

“You little girl…”

Seeing that Lan Chao was about to start preaching, Qiu Lingruo got up and wandered around the room. As she walked, she said, “Let’s see if we should call two more people. The Village Chief of Pingxu Village is also an idiot. Let’s see if you have any friends who can replace him. Also, the conflict in the village is very serious because of the demolition. I think you can settle this matter along the way.”

“I’ve heard a little about the demolition benefit.” Lan Chao was led astray by her. “But Eldest Senior Brother said that he could solve it and asked me not to interfere.”

Qiu Lingruo shrugged and mocked, “If he could solve it, Master would have lived in a three-story bungalow long ago. In short, Pingxu Village is a problem from the inside out. You should solve it too! Create a livable environment for Master.”

“Alright! I’ll arrange it immediately. Go to my daughter’s room to stay for the night. Her room has been empty since she went to university.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother!”

Qiu Lingruo was never one to stand on ceremony. After washing up, she fell into bed. She listened to the sound of Lan Chao calling for someone in the living room and gradually fell asleep.

Tonight was a busy night for Lan Chao and Qiu Ling, a happy night for Kong Xiuyao, and a resentful night for Black Bull and Song Ding!

The Black Bull watched as the van fled from Pingxu Village. However, he was still angry. After getting into the van, the muscles on his face never relaxed.

Especially when Song Ding’s half-dead wails came from the back of the car. It was so noisy that he was extremely frustrated!

“Enough! If you want to die, don’t argue. If you’re not dead, get up and make a call!”

“What call?” Song Ding turned to the driver’s seat with difficulty. His eyes were bloodshot and he could not see clearly.

“Of course I’m calling your uncle who’s the deputy director! How can he sit back and do nothing when you’re beaten up like this?” The Black Bull said ruthlessly, his mind already planning his next move.

Song Ding didn’t understand what he meant. He held his face and said aggrievedly, “Brother, you hit me harder than that b*tch…”

Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind and he immediately understood what the Black Bull meant. “Brother, do you mean to blame all my injuries on them?”

“That’s right!” The Black Bull gritted his teeth and said, “That kid cut off my path to wealth. I definitely can’t let him have an easy time! Anyway, Wonda wants to settle scores with me! I’ll drag him down with me! If it’s not easy, it’ll be hard for everyone!”

“That kid surnamed Kong ordered someone to beat me up like this. If he’s not sentenced to three to five years in prison, I’ll take his surname! Brother, don’t worry. I promise to do it well!”

“You’re smart, kid. Don’t worry. After we deal with that Kong kid, I’ll pay for all your medical fees,” the Black Bull said generously.

Immediately, a sinister laugh erupted in the car!
