“Senior Sister.”
In the office, Lin Xiawei seemed to be buried in her work. She looked up at Pei Jinye and gestured, “Take a seat first, help yourself to a drink if you want.”
Pei Jinye quietly sat down without interrupting Lin Xiawei’s work.
Before long, Xiao Liu, Lin Xiawei’s communications soldier, appeared. He politely nodded at Pei Jinye, then stepped forward and handed a report to Lin Xiawei: “Commander, there’s a temporary meeting at City Hall. It’s scheduled for three o’clock in the afternoon.”
“I know.” Lin Xiawei took the report and started to review it.
The communications soldier withdrew, closing the door behind him.
Not much later.
Lin Xiawei raised her head and asked, “Did you come this time to talk about last night’s incident?”
“What are your thoughts, Senior Sister?” Pei Jinye, seeing her speak, cut straight to the chase.
Holding a pen, Lin Xiawei shook her head, “I have no other thoughts. As far as I’m concerned, this matter isn’t about right or wrong. The power of the Gongsun Family is not as simple as you think… This matter would be better handled by me than by you at the moment.”
“Although it’s somewhat brazen, Gongsun Qianfeng was no match for me and I killed him; I have no problem admitting that. If the Gongsun Family has the guts, let them keep sending people.” Pei Jinye spoke softly, “After all, we are protected by Federation law in public; the Gongsun Family wouldn’t dare to make a move openly, their revenge must come in the shadows… If they can do the first day of the month, I can do the fifteenth.”
Lin Xiawei looked up at him.
“Your Second Senior Brother would probably like you; I’ve given you time to grow.”
At this moment, Lin Xiawei’s private phone rang.
She gestured for Pei Jinye to keep quiet before answering, “Your Majesty Lion King… I understand.”
Lin Xiawei spoke calmly, “The person from the Gongsun Family was killed by me, all procedures were followed. If the Gongsun Family has any objections, I will request a counter-intelligence review from Xing Tian, retracing the steps of Gongsun Qianfeng and his entourage in Central State… Yes, Your Majesty Lion King, I have a strong suspicion that Gongsun Qianfeng’s group was connected to the Sand Flame Association in Da Peng City… Yes, that’s my suspicion, and I also suggest that I be appointed as the commander for this secret investigation operation.”
The call ended.
She looked at Pei Jinye.
“Sometimes, you can use all the rules to your advantage, it’s also a survival law.”
Pei Jinye paused.
Lin Xiawei continued, “The Gongsun Family might already be using Gongsun Qianfeng’s status as a Judge to pressure the Central Continent Investigation Team, but it doesn’t matter. With the secret investigation mandate from the Knight Order, not even the Investigation Team can take any coercive action against me, and it doesn’t matter if you are also involved in this story, you are a formal member of the secret investigation.”
Pei Jinye was awestruck by the story Lin Xiawei had crafted.
He was even thinking…
Could Lin Xiawei actually be an AI?
She handled affairs so rationally.
While he was thinking.
A message appeared on Pei Jinye’s personal communicator.
The symbol of an official member of the Investigation Group was displayed, complete with the Knight Order’s stamp.
This efficiency…
He looked up.
Lin Xiawei just chuckled softly, “In the future, when you encounter trouble, just mention the name of the Knight Order.”
…
“They are all good Samaritans…”
When leaving Lin Xiawei’s office, Pei Jinye was truly impressed.
The feeling of having someone to cover for him was indeed great.
Although the way he met his nominal master was somewhat “legendary,” his master was indeed always prattling on about God knows what, and he heard that back in the day his master almost pried away the successor of a superpower.
Pei Jinye shook his head with a smile.
But soon, he regained his composure.
He and the Gongsun Family had no grudges; they came to him looking for trouble, and so deserved to be killed.
If they really don’t plan to let this go…
It’s okay…
He had more than one identity to confront them with.
If things couldn’t be handled in the open, he would use his ace in the hole, the Old Gods Association.
Worst comes to worst, he could also get involved using his identity as Sword Dominator.
He never lacked for moves in the shadows…
…
Just about to head downstairs.
He saw Gu Wutong, who was arm in arm with someone, blowing hot air about “covering the sky” and “shaking the earth” or other such boastful claims.
“Gu Wutong.”
Gu Wutong turned around, and upon seeing Pei Jinye, his face slightly changed. He waved for the people beside him to leave first, then he sidled up to Pei Jinye, ready to sling an arm around him.
“Good brother, I was just looking for you.”
Pei Jinye said with a wry smile, “How come I heard you slew a dragon last night?”
“Just kidding, how could that be possible.” Gu Wutong chuckled sheepishly, “Come on, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Forget it, I’m afraid if I have this meal, I might soon become the God Son of the Old Gods Association,” Pei Jinye jested, “You really can talk big.”
Gu Wutong just laughed, “It’s all about human relations and drinking table culture.”
Before Pei Jinye could say anything, his private phone rang—it was a call from Secretary Lin from City Hall.
Pei Jinye heard there was an urgent matter related to Mr. Han from Central State, so he didn’t continue to banter with Gu Wutong and prepared to leave the Investigation Team.
Gu Wutong also felt that today’s rumor had gone a bit too far, a casual remark that had blown out of proportion. Seeing Pei Jinye was about to leave, he quickly volunteered to drive.
Pei Jinye didn’t refuse.
It would take time for Secretary Lin to drive over from her location.
“Brother Ye, where do you need to go?”
“To City Hall.”
“All right, take a seat, my driving is really slick.”
