As he watched Li Waner leave, Wang Baole felt a slight headache coming on. The person hiding behind the scenes was truly troublesome to deal with. Fortunately, he held the upper hand in his heart. No matter what, it was still a Netherworld slave. From the way she addressed him, it could be seen that in Little Missy's eyes, the other party was just a servant, and he was the master.
When he thought of this, he suddenly felt enlightened.
"It's no big deal. Don't I still have Little Missy? If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Little Missy to take action and suppress that servant!"
"But if I want Little Missy to take action, I'll have to spend a little more effort to coax her." Wang Baole was deep in thought. At the same time, he couldn't help but lament that his life had been too difficult. He had to rely on himself for everything, and he had to rely on himself to cut through all obstacles.
As he lamented, Wang Baole began to ponder how to coax Little Missy, Lin Tianhao's voice transmission arrived. He wanted to see Wang Baole and report on the investigation, as well as the results of the investigation of the various districts.
As Wang Baole frequently went into seclusion, his residence became an office to a certain extent. Lin Tianhao soon arrived. Lin Tianhao, who had been by Wang Baole's side for a long time, had changed completely from the person he had been in the Dao College. He no longer had the arrogance and gloominess that he once had. Instead, he was calm and steady, exuding a sense of competence.
However, this was just his image in front of Wang Baole. In reality, Lin Tianhao didn't speak much in front of others. His gloominess hadn't disappeared, but was instead restrained as if it was hidden in his bones. This gave others the feeling of a venomous snake, and his relationship with Wang Baole made it so that protecting Wang Baole's interests was equivalent to protecting his own. Therefore, many people who were dissatisfied with Wang Baole often thought of him as a lackey, a mad dog, a venomous snake, and so on.
When he arrived, Lin Tianhao first poured Wang Baole a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. Standing across from Wang Baole, he didn't feel that his actions were incompatible with his status at all. This had almost become his instinct, and he didn't even think that he was flattering. Instead, he felt that as a subordinate, he had to repay a superior who greatly appreciated him. Pouring a cup of tea was an expression of his respect.
Wang Baole was also used to this, so he took a sip of tea and listened to Lin Tianhao's report.
"City Lord, there were no abnormalities in the areas searched last night …"
"In addition, we have also obtained the final data and results from the previous search of the entire city. This is the detailed information …" As he reported, Lin Tianhao handed Wang Baole a jade scroll.
"In the six districts of the new city, the number of people practicing the Art of Longevity varies. Chen Mu's district has the most people practicing the Art of Longevity, followed by Fang Jing's district, followed by my district, District Head Kongdao's district, and then District Head Jin's district … Only … District Head Wen Huai's district is very strange … There is not a single person practicing the Art of Longevity." When Lin Tianhao said this, there was a strange expression on his face. It seemed that even he was extremely surprised by this result after he found out about this matter. He found it unbelievable.
When Wang Baole heard this, he was also stunned. After he checked the data in the jade scroll, he found that it was indeed as Lin Tianhao said. In the other districts, there were at least tens of thousands of people practicing the Art of Longevity, and at most hundreds of thousands of people practicing the Art of Longevity. Only Wen Huai's district did not have a single person practicing the Art of Longevity.
Perhaps it was not too much of an exaggeration to say that there was not a single person practicing the Art of Longevity, but it was clear that even if the data was not recorded, the real situation was definitely that there were very few people practicing the Art of Longevity. Otherwise, even if it was fake, it would definitely not be fake to such an extent.
"What's going on? Wen Huai is really something. "Wang Baole was instantly curious. He secretly wondered if he had underestimated Wen Huai. He then glanced at Lin Tianhao.
Lin Tianhao's expression was a little strange. After he hesitated for a moment, he said in a low voice, "I've already done some research.
"As for the specifics, although I've investigated a little, but … Vice Mayor Liu Daobin would like to invite you to check it out personally …" Lin Tianhao knew the answer. After all, he was in charge of collecting information. If it were any other time, he definitely wouldn't pass on Liu Daobin's message.
But now … He felt that it was better for him to be more careful with people like Liu Daobin in the future. He could not easily offend or set traps for people like Liu Daobin. Through this matter, he seemed to have a new understanding of Liu Daobin.
"Oh?" Wang Baole suddenly smiled. He remembered that Liu Daobin was now Wen Huai's deputy. Liu Daobin did not directly send him a message. Instead, he used the results of this time's test and went through formal procedures to invite him to inspect the situation. Wang Baole naturally would not reject this. He also wanted to personally see the situation in Wen Huai's district.
Therefore, he immediately made the arrangements. Since it was a formal inspection, there were naturally many people going. He also notified Wen Huai in advance so that he could prepare to receive them.
Just like this, two hours later, accompanied by Lin Tianhao, Wang Baole and his group arrived at Wen Huai's autonomous district. As soon as they arrived, they found that Wen Huai and Liu Daobin were already waiting there. When they saw Wang Baole from afar, Liu Daobin immediately ran over before Wen Huai could say anything. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply from afar. His face was filled with excitement as he spoke loudly.
"Daobin greets the City Lord!! City Lord, please allow Daobin to say something from the bottom of my heart. It's really too shocking to see you this time. If I don't say it out loud, please allow me to! " Liu Daobin's voice spread in all directions. Behind him, Wen Huai, who was secretly cursing Liu Daobin in his heart for being too fast, originally wanted to quickly greet Liu Daobin as well. However, after hearing Liu Daobin's words, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately wondered if Liu Daobin had any evidence against him. Could it be that he was going to complain?
Wang Baole, who was walking over from afar, originally had a smile on his face. At this moment, after hearing Liu Daobin's words, a glint flashed across his eyes. Even the expressions of Lin Tianhao and the others behind him changed slightly.
Wang Baole strode over to Liu Daobin. After helping him up, he spoke gently, "Daobin, what's the matter? Just say it!"
Liu Daobin's face was filled with excitement. Even his body was trembling slightly as he looked at Wang Baole. His voice was filled with passion as it reverberated in the air.
"City Lord, Daobin would like to apologize to you. Because when I saw you walking over from afar just now, I admit that I was indeed stunned for a moment. As a result, I was slightly slower in greeting you. It's really … I haven't seen you for a long time, City Lord. When I suddenly saw you, I felt as if I saw a god. Your handsomeness was so great that it surpassed all the humans in the Federation. When I remembered that such an extraordinarily handsome person was actually my City Lord, I was so excited that I lost my composure.
Please accept my punishment! "As soon as Liu Daobin finished speaking, Wen Huai's eyes widened, and he gasped. It was as if he had just gotten to know Liu Daobin all over again. It wasn't just him. Whether it was Wen Huai's subordinates or Lin Tianhao and the others, when they heard Liu Daobin's words, they were all shaken. When they looked at Liu Daobin, strange expressions appeared on their faces. Many of them were already cursing his shamelessness in their hearts.
Even Wang Baole was stunned. Even with his thick skin, he felt a bit hot. However, the satisfaction and joy in his heart were like a flower that bloomed uncontrollably. Even as he felt extremely comfortable, he put on a stern face and criticized Liu Daobin.
Liu Daobin quickly accepted the criticism. His face was filled with satisfaction, as if he felt honored to be criticized by Wang Baole. After Wang Baole finished criticizing him, he didn't forget to flatter him a bit more.
"City Lord, you're right. City Lord, the sky is blue, and the earth is yellow. Even if you have a long history, you have a bright future ahead of you! Daobin is really too straightforward. He can't hide his thoughts, so he just says what he wants to say. "
As soon as he said that, Lin Tianhao gasped. He felt that Liu Daobin was even more of a threat to him now. As for Wen Huai, he looked at Liu Daobin a few more times. He didn't know why, but at the same time, he cursed him in his heart. He also felt sour. He thought to himself, 'I'm your direct superior, but you're making me a mere figurehead the moment you arrive. You haven't even said anything nice to me …'
As he felt sad, Wen Huai thought about the current state of the autonomous zone and felt even more depressed. He really didn't have the face to be in charge of showing Wang Baole around. Liu Daobin didn't seem to have thought of asking for Wen Huai's permission. He took the initiative to accompany Wang Baole and was in charge of introducing the autonomous zone.
Just like that, the group of people slowly walked into the autonomous zone with Liu Daobin's flattery as an opening act. Not long after they walked in, gasps could be heard coming from the mouths of these outsiders. Their eyes widened once again.
What shocked them the most was that there were two gigantic statues erected on both sides of the main road in the autonomous zone. These two statues … were carved of Wang Baole!
Wang Baole was stunned once again. He looked at Liu Daobin beside him, who had a look of reverence on his face. Then, he looked at the surrounding buildings with a strange expression on his face. He didn't say anything and continued walking. He and all the other people who came here for the first time felt their minds buzzing.
In fact … there were too many statues of Wang Baole in this autonomous zone … There was one statue every few hundred meters … and they all had different movements. Regardless of which movement they made, they all exuded an incomparably heroic aura!
