"Deputy Bureau Chief Song, is anything the matter?" Ling Tian asked.
"No …" Song Bilian shook his head. He felt strange. Did the two of them really reconcile? How was that possible?
"Alright, what about you, Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang?" Ling Tian asked.
"Me neither." Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang shook his head. He was the weakest among them. Every time, he was the messenger. Naturally, he wouldn't have too many requests or suggestions.
"After the New Year, Deputy Bureau Chief Yang, go back to the Northeast branch. Rest for a few days," Ling Tian said to Xiao Chen. "Do what you need to do here."
"Alright!" Xiao Chen was overjoyed. This way, he could go back to Songning for the New Year. He thought he would have to stay in the Supernatural Investigation Bureau because of this incident.
After the meeting, Xia Xibin heaved a sigh of relief. He thanked Xiao Chen and Xia Zhili profusely.
He felt much more comfortable now. Yang Jiannan was overbearing and hard to please. On the other hand, Xiao Chen didn't have much to say.
In Xia Zhili's office, the three of them sat across from each other.
"Xiao Chen, you can go home for the New Year first. Then, you can take care of Xu Chuxia's matters. Xia Xibin and Song Huawu are in charge of the Northeast branch. You don't have to be there often. I'll cover for you," Xia Zhili said.
"Thank you, Deputy Bureau Chief Xia," Xiao Chen quickly said.
Xia Zhili was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's attitude. Although they were on equal footing, Xiao Chen still considered himself a junior. He didn't show any disrespect. "No need to thank me. This is what you deserve. Yang Jiannan is so rebellious. He really pisses me off! Xiao Chen, you and I will be partners in the future. You weren't my subordinate before, so you don't have to be so polite. "
After knowing Xiao Chen's identity, Xiao Chen was still so respectful towards him. Xia Zhili was indescribably happy, but it was also because Xiao Chen was not the Yang Jiannan that he had brought up. Speaking of which, Xiao Chen had helped him, so he really did not take care of Xiao Chen.
Therefore, Xia Zhili was not stupid. He knew that Xiao Chen was not an ordinary person. If the two of them were to cooperate for a long time, he could not be too overbearing.
"In any case, Deputy Bureau Chief Xia has helped me solve a big problem. Once there is a demolition in the future, I will not hesitate!" Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Mm, let's not talk about this anymore. That Outer Star Ink Meteorite helped me break through to Martial General, but there's still a small piece left. When you break through, you can take it and use it!" Xia Zhili said, "Speaking of which, it's all thanks to this treasure that I was able to avert danger and kill Yang Jiannan. Without this treasure, I wouldn't have been able to successfully advance, and I would have died here today! Next, I plan to study the Five Poisons Secret Manual that you helped me get back! "
"Forget about that book, there are some problems with it." Now that Xiao Chen had a good relationship with Xia Zhili, it was naturally impossible for him to harm him. "I have also studied that Five Poisons Secret Manual. Before cultivating, I need to take a special pill. Now that I have the secret manual but not the pill, it's easy to cause problems!"
"Oh? There's such a thing? " Xia Zhili was slightly stunned, but he still nodded and said, "Previously, I have been breaking through to Martial General for many years without success, so I wanted to improve my martial skills and study the use of poisons. Now that I am a Martial General, there is no need to study these things. You are right, then forget it."
"Right, how is Huawu now?" Xiao Chen had been thinking about Song Huawu before, but because of Yang Jiannan's matter, he could not visit her.
"She has been discharged from the hospital and is resting in the dormitory. Let Xia Xibin take you to see her!" Xia Zhili said.
"Okay, then let's go over now." When Xiao Chen heard that Song Huawu was nearby, he could not wait.
After bidding farewell to Xia Zhili, the two of them went out together, got into the car, and went to the villa where Song Huawu was.
Xia Xibin pressed the doorbell, and after a while, the door of the villa was opened. Song Huawu did not ask who it was. After all, those who could enter the dormitory area were people from the Supernatural Investigation Bureau.
However, when she saw that the people outside the door were Yang Jiannan and Xia Xibin, her face suddenly turned cold. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Let's talk inside." Xia Xibin lowered his voice. Although there was no one nearby, it was better to keep a low profile in case the walls had ears.
Song Huawu frowned. "Are you guys trying to assassinate me in my house?"
"How could that be?" Xia Xibin was stunned, then smiled bitterly. "Huawu, don't you trust me?"
Song Huawu did not answer, but looked at Xiao Chen, meaning that she did not trust him.
"Huawu, let's talk inside," Xiao Chen also said in a low voice.
"En?" When Song Huawu heard Yang Jiannan's voice, she was slightly stunned. She nodded and moved aside to let them in.
Xiao Chen closed the door and said, "Huawu, it's me."
"Are you trying to lie to me?" Song Huawu asked coldly.
"Lie to you?" Xiao Chen was stunned, but he immediately understood what Song Huawu meant. He said, "It's true. Yang Jiannan is really dead this time, and I'm back."
Song Huawu did not believe it. She looked at Xiao Chen warily. "How can you prove it?"
"How do you want to prove it?" Xiao Chen was a little speechless.
"Then change back to Xiao Chen and let me see." Song Huawu stared at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was wearing a human skin mask. If he wanted to change back, he would have to take it off. If that happened, it would be difficult to explain. He simply transformed back to his original appearance and said, "Is it okay now?"
"You're really Xiao Chen?" When Song Huawu saw Yang Jiannan turn into Xiao Chen without warning, she was a little more certain, but she still had some doubts.
"Ahem … A few days ago, in the hospital, I went back to treat your injuries, and then you woke up …" Because Xia Xibin was at the side, Xiao Chen could not explain some details too clearly.
"Oh …" Song Huawu's face turned red. This time, she completely believed Xiao Chen. "It's really you. That's great. What happened?"
"Actually, this is what happened …" Xiao Chen told the story from the time Xu Chuxia and Tian Wangshou came to find him to the time Xia Zhuyi killed Yang Jiannan.
"What? Yang Jiannan was killed by Deputy Director Xia? " Song Huawu was really shocked after hearing this. She did not expect so many things to happen while she was recuperating at home. Yang Jiannan and Xia Zhuyi had already broken up, and the conflict had reached this stage.
"Yes, that's why I came back to take over. Currently, only Deputy Director Xia, Xia Xibin, and you know about this. Don't tell Song Bilian," Xiao Chen reminded her.
"I won't tell him." Song Huawu shook her head.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Chen asked, "Your injuries should have healed, why are you still recuperating at home? Is there a problem? "
"There isn't." Song Huawu suddenly smiled. "I didn't want to see Yang Jiannan's face, so I recuperated at home. No one else knows the inside story, so naturally, they won't suspect anything. Oh right, when are you going to Lan City?"
"Why, are you going with me?" Xiao Chen looked at Song Huawu.
"I'm the team leader of Team C, so naturally, I have to go back and take up my post. Team C's office is in the northeast branch, which is between Lan City and Songning, so it's on the way," Song Huawu said.
"That's fine, but I'll go back to Songning for the New Year first." Xiao Chen said, "You and Xia Xibin can go back to the branch first."
"Okay." Song Huawu nodded. "Then I'll go to the headquarters in a while and cancel my sick leave."
The real Yang Jiannan was dead, so Song Huawu didn't have to worry about seeing him.
After making the decision, Song Huawu and Xia Xibin went to the northeast branch first. Meanwhile, Xiao Chen took a plane back to Songning. He did not intend to fly back using his Primordial Qi if there was nothing important.
"Hey? Brother, where did you go today? I didn't see you during the day! " Xiao Xiao saw Xiao Chen and asked curiously. It was really strange that Xiao Chen disappeared for a whole day during the New Year.
"Oh, nothing. I felt that I seemed to have signs of a breakthrough, so I practiced for a day." Xiao Chen smiled and dodged the question.
"By the way, I heard that you're back. Yue Shaoqun and Tang Tang came to pay a New Year's visit today, but they didn't see you. They were a little regretful. They left the gifts and asked me to tell them that when you're home, they'll come again," Xiao Xiao said.
Xiao Chen nodded and asked, "Who else came?"
"The Xie family, the Jin family, the Lou family, and the Zhu family all came." Xiao Xiao said, "Our Xiao family hasn't been as lively as it is now for many years. It used to be deserted, but now it's crowded. Brother, since the Cheng family was defeated that day, the structure of our Songning has also changed."
"Well, I see." Xiao Chen wasn't happy. Instead, he was a little worried. According to the character of Cheng Zhongfan of the Cheng family, he wouldn't give up so easily. This guy wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal. Maybe he would find some powerful people to take revenge on him after he went back.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen was very eager to improve his strength! Before, the enemies he faced were all ordinary families. At most, they were at the level of the Real Martial Arts Family. There were no powerful masters.
Therefore, when Xiao Chen was at the peak of the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could look down on all the heroes. But now his opponents were from the martial arts sects, so his strength was a little insufficient.
It seemed that strength really determined the level. The higher one's strength was, the different level he would face.
"Brother, why are you unhappy?" Xiao Xiao saw that Xiao Chen was a little absent-minded.
"How could it be?" Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It's impolite not to reciprocate. I'm also going to buy something and visit these friends of Songning!"
"Brother, should I go with you?" Xiao Xiao asked.
"You stay at home. Maybe someone will come. There must be a junior at home." Xiao Chen said.
"Oh …" Xiao Xiao was a little unhappy. "You're going to find Sister Tang Tang. Are you afraid that I'll be the third wheel?"
