"Next, I want to talk about something more important!" Ling Tian said, "Everyone here knows that other than Deputy Bureau Chief Xiao, everyone here is an old member of the Supernatural Investigation Department. The old Bureau Chief was injured in the past, and because of his old age, his injuries have flared up again. He has been unable to manage the affairs of the department normally. Recently, his injuries have worsened, so the higher-ups have decided that I will temporarily take over the position of the Bureau Chief. As for the position of Deputy Bureau Chief … initially, I wanted to let Deputy Bureau Chief Xia Zhili take over, but now, Deputy Bureau Chief Xiao is obviously stronger than Deputy Bureau Chief Xia …"
In actuality, Ling Tian's words were partly to break up the relationship between Xiao Chen and Xia Zhili. If they were too close, it would be detrimental to his future management!
Previously, Xiao Chen might have had to work with Xia Zhili because of his identity, but now that his identity had been made public, there was no need for him to continue working with Xia Zhili.
Thus, he decided to promote Xiao Chen. This way, with Xia Zhili and Song Bilian holding him back, it wouldn't cause any trouble for him.
Previously, when he handed over the matters of the Demon Sect to Xiao Chen, it was just that at that time, no one had thought it through. However, now, both Xia Zhili and Song Bilian understood!
"What do you all think?" After Ling Tian finished speaking, he asked with a smile.
"I agree!" Song Bilian was the first to jump out and express his support. Whether it was to repair his relationship with Xiao Chen or to deal with Xia Zhili, he would always be the first to express his support.
"I abstain!" Deputy Bureau Chief Zhang would always abstain. After all, this didn't have much to do with him, so there was no need to offend him.
"I … also agree …" Xia Zhili hesitated for a moment. His expression was a little complicated, but he still nodded his head in agreement. He looked at Xiao Chen and thought about the things that Xiao Chen had helped him find. He felt that he shouldn't hold up Xiao Chen because of his desire for power.
Xia Zhili's reply surprised both Song Bilian and Ling Tian. Why did Xia Zhili agree?
Xiao Chen was not surprised by Song Bilian's approval. Regardless of whether he wanted to attack Xia Zhili or express goodwill to Xiao Chen, it was understandable. However, Xia Zhili's answer was a little strange.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xia Zhili and saw that the other party nodded at him. Xiao Chen was touched.
It seemed that Xia Zhili was truly grateful to him, and it wasn't just because of benefits. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen slowly said, "Deputy Bureau Chief Ling, or should I say Bureau Chief Ling, I think it's better to let Deputy Bureau Chief Xia Zhili be the Executive Deputy Bureau Chief!"
"Oh?" Ling Tian was slightly taken aback, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Xiao Chen curiously, "What do you mean?"
"First of all, I don't have much time to work here. I still have my own things to do. I have to go to school, pick up girls, find my dad, and so on. Anyway, I'm quite busy. I definitely can't put all my energy here." Xiao Chen smiled, "Also, I don't like to be tied down, nor do I want to manage so many things. However, I will definitely support Deputy Bureau Chief Xia in his work."
Probably only Xiao Chen would dare to speak to Ling Tian like this. He actually dared to say that he wanted to pick up girls … However, with Xiao Chen's current strength, he did indeed have the qualifications to say such things!
"Deputy Bureau Chief Xiao, have you thought about it?" Ling Tian could already tell that Xiao Chen was not trying to reject him. Giving so many reasons, it was obvious that he wanted to reject him.
"I've thought about it." Xiao Chen nodded, "I'm actually really not suitable!"
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't force you." Ling Tian nodded. He didn't dare to blame Xiao Chen for this matter because the Supernatural Investigation Department still needed to rely on Xiao Chen in the future. How could he offend Xiao Chen over such a small matter?
"En, what do you think of Deputy Bureau Chief Xia?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Originally, Deputy Bureau Chief Xia was the candidate. However, after seeing your strength and achievements today, I made this decision on the spot. I hope you don't mind!" Ling Tian smiled, "Deputy Bureau Chief Xiao, I hope that you can contribute to the Supernatural Investigation Department in the future. Your strength is enough to make us proud. I won't restrict you, as long as there's a mission that you can help us with!"
"That's what I should do!" Xiao Chen said seriously, "Actually, this isn't for the Supernatural Investigation Department. It's because Deputy Bureau Chief Xia helped me in the past. So, as long as Deputy Bureau Chief Xia is here, I will also stay here to help! Although saying this might seem like I'm not putting you in my eyes, what I said is the truth! "
"Haha, it's nothing. I'm not that petty!" Ling Tian laughed. With Xiao Chen's strength, nothing could be said.
Xia Zhili's eyes became a little wet. He didn't think that Xiao Chen would say such a thing. He immediately felt a little ashamed of his previous hesitation. Although he had agreed to Ling Tian's suggestion for Xiao Chen to be the Deputy Bureau Chief, he didn't feel very comfortable in his heart.
At this moment, he knew that he had gauged the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure. Xiao Chen wasn't an ungrateful person. He was different from that traitor Yang Jiannan. Xiao Chen was loyal and righteous!
Just based on those simple words from Xiao Chen, he, Xia Zhili, was able to secure his position as the Deputy Bureau Chief!
With the support of a 6th layer Demon General, who would dare to oppose him? Especially someone like Xiao Chen who didn't follow the rules. Didn't he see how Song Bilian was sent flying by Xiao Chen?
"Deputy Bureau Chief Xiao, don't worry. If there's anything in the future, we'll discuss it!" Xia Zhili hurriedly said.
"If there's anything else, then I'll be annoyed to death. If you have a problem that you can't solve, then look for me. If it's a small matter, you know …" Xiao Chen laughed.
"Haha, okay, then I won't act pretentious. Bureau Chief Ling, don't worry, I'll do my best!" Xia Zhili said.
"Okay, then this matter is settled. I'll report to the higher-ups after the meeting." Ling Tian nodded and ended the meeting.
Song Bilian walked out of the meeting room with a gloomy face. Xia Zhili and Xiao Chen, on the other hand, were chatting happily. The two of them walked to the office before Xia Zhili said, "You came in like this today and gave me a fright. I didn't expect your strength to be so terrifying …"
"Pfft …" Xiao Chen was instantly amused. "It's not that exaggerated. I'm just a 6th layer Demon General. It's nothing in the outside world."
"That's right. You've already set your sights on the outer world!" Xia Zhili sighed. "But it's fine now. Your identity has been exposed, so you don't have to go through the trouble of hiding it anymore. With your current strength, the previous problem is no longer a problem! Ling Tian really has a good plan. Roping you in, the overall strength of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau will definitely increase a lot in the future. "
"Hehe, didn't I say it already? It's for you, Deputy Bureau Chief Xia!" Xiao Chen laughed.
"Xiao Chen, I really didn't expect you to give me so much face. I, Xia Zhili, have no regrets in this life to have a good friend like you!" Xia Zhili sighed. "Xiao Chen, you're a good person. In the future, help me take care of Xia Xibin. He can be considered to be the heir of my Xia family. Although our relationship isn't as close as ours, he's still my godson."
"I'll take care of him." Xiao Chen nodded.
"En, where are you going next?" Xia Zhili asked.
"I plan to go back to Songning and take a look at my home. Then, I'll leave for the outside world. With the identity of the Demon Sect's leader in name, it'll be much easier to investigate some things. I want to investigate my father's matter." Xiao Chen said.
"Okay, then go. I'll look for you if there's anything here!" Xia Zhili said. "If you encounter anything in the outside world, you can look for Vice President Nian to coordinate. He and I are old friends. You know that too."
"Okay, I'll remember!" Xiao Chen replied.
Outside world, Kuishan Sect.
Ma Qingting lay on the bed. He had only just recovered from his injuries today. He was infuriated and wanted nothing more than to kill Xiao Chen. He was supposed to be the sect leader of the Demon Sect, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain.
"Father, I can't accept this!" Seeing Ma Qingting walk in, Ma Qingting clenched his fist and said loudly.
"Sigh!" Ma Qingting had been worried for the past few days. He didn't dare to inform his backer about the results of the Demon Sect's conference, but he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden. The news would eventually spread.
As expected, just as he came to check on Ma Qingting's injuries, his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Elder Yan, hello … I'm Ma Qingting." Ma Qingting braced himself and picked up the phone.
"Sect Leader Ma, what are you doing? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Are you waiting for the news to reach me through the grapevine? "On the other side of the phone, Elder Yan's voice was filled with indescribable anger.
"This … I'm trying to solve this problem. I'll report it to Elder Yan after I'm done!" Ma Qingting could only say carefully.
"Solve? Solve my a * s! Xiao Chen became the Demon Sect's leader under the watchful eyes of the public. Can you still solve it? " Elder Yan was instantly enraged. "Tell me, are you going to remove Xiao Chen from the position of Sect Leader and reelect him?"
"This … of course not … I …" Ma Qingting stammered and couldn't say anything.
"Hmph, you mean, you've been trying to solve it for so long, but you still can't do anything, right?" Elder Yan snorted coldly.
Ma Qingting almost knelt down in fear. He quickly apologized, "I … I'm sorry, please forgive me, Elder Yan! I didn't do it well! "
"Do you know that you've held me up?" Elder Yan asked coldly.
"I … I know, Elder Yan has always wanted to unify the Demon Sect in the outer martial arts world. You want to control it through our hands. During the reelection next year, we'll definitely achieve our goal!" Ma Qingting quickly promised.
