"Deputy Bureau Chief Song, why don't you tell me." Ling Tian glanced at him and thought to himself, "This brat can't be up to something again, right?"
Song Bilian calmly said, "I feel that Song Huawu should be able to do this job! She has experience working with the outer martial arts sects in the past and she knows quite a number of people from the Martial Artists Guild. I believe that she will be able to put in some words if she goes. There shouldn't be a problem sending her there. "
The reason why he recommended Song Huawu was because Song Bilian felt that she was no longer on his side. Rather than keeping this lass here to cause trouble, he might as well send her away!
Anyway, he did not like to see those outer martial arts guilds that said one thing but did another. It was just right for him to send Song Huawu over to shut their mouths. Furthermore, it would be considered a promotion. At that time, the Song family would definitely be grateful to him!
"En, I also agree to send Song Huawu over. From her qualifications and past experience, she is indeed more suitable." Xia Zhili nodded his head in agreement with Song Bilian's suggestion.
He was not trying to suck up to Song Bilian, but he had a vague feeling that this entire matter had something to do with Xiao Chen!
Song Huawu had been looking for him frequently recently, constantly inquiring about Xiao Chen's whereabouts. Xia Zhili thought that he could make use of this opportunity to send her to the outer martial arts world to gather information. Who knows, she might be able to find Xiao Chen!
On the contrary, Song Bilian was a little surprised. He stared at Xia Zhili strangely and felt puzzled in his heart. Why didn't this fellow object? Instead, he raised the flag of approval. Could it be that he was plotting something?
With the two leaders recommending the same person, the people below did not have any objections. They all praised Song Huawu for being especially suitable for this task. They even praised the two 'talent scouts' who were able to discern people from the smallest detail.
Ling Tian did not notice the undercurrent of the people below. After pondering for a moment, he could not think of a better candidate. He then said, "Since the others have no objections, then let Song Huawu make the trip! Later, I will issue a dispatch document to her and ask her to immediately go to the Outer Martial Arts Guild to cooperate with the relevant personnel in the investigation. You don't need to assign her any other tasks. Well, the meeting is adjourned! "
After leaving the conference room in a hurry, Xia Zhili walked to an empty corner and took out his mobile phone to call Song Huawu. He asked her to come to his office. On one hand, he wanted to give her a heads-up about the mission in advance, and on the other hand, he wanted to explain some matters related to Xiao Chen.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Deputy Bureau Chief Xia, I'm Song Hua Wu!" After a while, Song Huawu arrived outside Xia Zhili's office. She politely knocked on the door and called out softly.
"Come in!" Xia Zhili put down the work in his hands and gestured for Song Huawu, who had just pushed open the door, to find a place to sit first. He then picked up a document that had just been delivered on the table and handed it over.
Seeing that Song Huawu took the document with a look of understanding and didn't look surprised at all, Xia Zhuoli had an idea and said, "It looks like you've already received the dispatch notice from Chief Ling, right?"
Song Huawu nodded and said, "Yes, Chief Ling asked me to cooperate with the Wulin Warriors Guild to carry out an investigation on the large-scale disappearance of rogue cultivators."
"Yes." Xia Zhili pointed to the document and said, "This is the official written document. Later, someone will send you to the Wulin Warriors Guild. At that time, you can hand the document to the person in charge there, and he will know to contact you."
"Okay." After Song Huawu put away the document, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Deputy Bureau Chief Xia, do you have any other instructions for the mission? I came here this time because I have some questions to ask you. It's about Xiao Chen. "
"Hmm? Go ahead! " Xia Zhili replied. He originally wanted to talk to Song Huawu about Xiao Chen, but he didn't expect this girl to bring it up first.
"It's like this, I haven't been able to contact Xiao Chen for a long time, and the bureau can't find any records of his actions. May I ask if you know where he is now?" Song Huawu asked with a frown.
The two hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and Song Huawu missed Xiao Chen more and more. She also knew in her heart that after Xiao Chen became the deputy bureau chief, he would definitely have more tasks than before and would be busier. He might not have much time to accompany her.
But even if he didn't have time, he should be able to contact her by phone occasionally, right? But Xiao Chen didn't even call her! If it weren't for the fact that she was also very busy with work and couldn't spare time, she would have long gone to the Xiao family to find him!
"Actually … I haven't heard from Xiao Chen for a long time!" Xia Zhili's expression was a little helpless. "Previously, when the Kuishan Sect issued a kill order for him, he asked me to secretly arrange for him to study at Lan City University. But according to the latest news I received, the Kuishan Sect's leader, Ma Buqiu, has mysteriously fallen to his death in a small district in Lan City, and Xiao Chen is nowhere to be found. I've sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him."
"Ah?! Then … then is Xiao Chen in danger now? " Song Huawu was shocked. Because these things were classified as the highest level of internal secrets, she had never heard anyone mention it before. Today was the first time she heard Xia Zhili mention it.
"I'm not too sure about that." Xia Zhili shook his head and sighed. "Currently, what I'm most worried about is whether Xiao Chen is also under the control of the powerful forces in the internal martial arts world, like those missing rogue cultivators. If that's the case, then the problem will be more troublesome!"
Although he was the Deputy Bureau Chief and usually had an awe-inspiring presence in the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, there was nothing he could do about those martial arts people. His skills were inferior, so he could only endure it!
Song Huawu was stunned for a long time after hearing this. Suddenly, she lowered her head and thought for a while. As if she had made a major decision, she bit her lower lip and said, "Deputy Bureau Chief Xia, I don't want to take this mission anymore. Can you talk to Bureau Chief Ling and ask him to send someone else? I … I want to go to the internal martial arts world myself and look for Xiao Chen. "
Xia Zhili stared blankly and revealed an expression of realization. However, he still opened his mouth to reject her request. "Xiao Song, I know that you're very worried about Xiao Chen's safety, but we can't be too impulsive! The internal martial arts world is a dragon's pool and tiger's den. It's not as simple as the secular world. Your strength is still too low. If you go there alone, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to escape unscathed! "
Song Huawu lowered her head and did not speak. Her longing for Xiao Chen was getting more and more intense. Even if the internal martial arts world was a man-eating beast, she still wanted to go there!
Seeing Song Huawu's stubborn look, Xia Zhili knew that this little girl was still persevering. He softened his tone and analyzed carefully. "Actually, you can also look for Xiao Chen by carrying out the mission! Think about it, you're alone. Even if you want to look for clues, you don't have a source. It's better to cooperate with the Warriors' Guild of the external martial arts world and the internal martial arts world. At least they have more experience in this aspect, don't they? "
