I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 223 No one cares about this waste

North City, Siege Department Building.

The banquet hall of several hundred square meters is now decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

The siege department, the coordination department, and almost everyone on the committee gathered in the hall.

This includes colleagues who are stationed in various places in the south city to keep an eye on people and animals and who usually cannot leave.

And some colleagues from South City.

Everyone was dressed in formal attire, smiling, chatting with each other and reminiscing about the past.

Sitting at the front of the banquet hall were the main leaders of the two departments.

Of course, there are still four incumbent members and three gray-haired members who have long retired.

Take any one of these people and the whole chicken coop will shake.

The last time the committee held such a celebration banquet for all members was nineteen years ago when the Taoyuan Incident ended.

And this time, it was also because of Taoyuan.

"Minister, please don't single me out and introduce me. It's better to keep a low profile."

"This... there are too many seniors here..."

Beside Zhang Guang, Lin Xing'an looked back at the crowded people in the hall and took a breath.

He had never seen so many gluttons in his life.

Even the ceremony in South City didn't have so many...

"An An, have you seen those single girls?"

"They're all second and third generation, some are 18 or 19, some are 22 or 23. They usually get together, and I don't know where they go to play every day. They're like a dragon that's hard to find."

"When the time comes, I'll have to invite you to dance. See if there's anyone you like, ok?"

Zhang Guang raised his wine glass and laughed.

Lin Xing'an showed helplessness on his face.

"Hey! Bogo! You old man, are you still alive?"

But before Lin Xing'an could speak, Zhang Guang's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked towards a senior in a wheelchair!
"An An!"

Jiang Rong, who was not far away, smiled and waved to Lin Xing'an.

Instead of growing younger, she reverted to her forties.

But among the other committee members around him, he still looks very young.

She was wearing a dark green dress that matched her abilities, with her hair tied up, and her whole demeanor looked extremely noble.

"Grandma."

Lin Xing'an hurriedly walked to Jiang Rong's side respectfully.

"This is Jingjing's child, my grandson. The main reason we were able to destroy Taoyuan this time was because of his intelligence."

Jiang Rong pulled Lin Xing'an over.

"An An, this is your Grandpa Jiu. He looks young, but you still have to call him Grandpa, otherwise there's a generation gap."

"This is your Grandma Huathrush, an honorary professor at North City University, from the Art Department. You must have seen her when you were at North City University."

"This is Qian Sen, our committee's current record holder for killing and killing animals. He's far ahead of the second place. You can just call him uncle."

She led Lin Xing'an and introduced him one by one to those seniors whom he would never meet under normal circumstances.

Lin Xing'an greeted them one by one.

He behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely, was polite but not overly humble, and made people like him.

"Jiang Xiaomei! Why did you just tell us about this wonderful grandson of yours?"

"So good at hiding? Look at this young man's eyes, he's going to be something great!"

Qian Sen's big beard has turned completely white.

But his voice was really loud, and his eyes were staring at Lin Xing'an with bright sparkles, looking extremely energetic.

"Xiaozhi! Come! Come here!"

"what!"

"Tsk! Come here!"

Qian Sen waved to a girl who was happily chatting with her sisters not far away.

The girl also sighed and walked over reluctantly.

"Look, look, she's just like this. She's already 18 and still so rebellious. Who can she go to for justice?"

Qian Sen spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Grandpa, what do you want me to do?"

"Come on, Xiaozhi, this is Lin Xing'an, your Grandma Jiang's grandson."

Qian Sen also pulled Qian Qiongzhi over and introduced her.

"Hello, my name is Lin Xing'an."

Lin Xing'an extended his hand generously.

"And shake hands..."

Qian Qiongzhi rolled her eyes.

"This is how humans and animals greet each other. You're too unsophisticated."

"What are you talking about! You kid...what's going on in your head?!"

"Tsk, Grandpa, you don't understand. Nowadays, we greet each other by touching cheeks. Shaking hands is too 'human', tsk..."

Qian Qiongzhi looked at Lin Xing'an, curled her lips, and reluctantly took out her phone, "Forget it, let's add him as a friend."

"Right, you two are of the same age, you have something to talk about, get to know each other!"

"There's a topic..."

Qian Sen’s words made Qian Qiongzhi smile speechlessly.

"What topics can I have with this unsophisticated guy..."

After adding Lin Xing'an, she waved her hand.

Without caring about Qian Sen, she just lifted her skirt and trotted back to her group of sisters.

"Hey, let me tell you! Oh my god, he even shook hands when he greeted me..."

"I bet there's nothing on his Moments. Come and see..."

Qian Qiongzhi glanced at Lin Xing'an, then she and her sisters covered their mouths and burst into laughter.

Lin Xing'an didn't care at all.

While Jiang Rong was chatting with other committee members, he also began searching the hall.

Sure enough, in the most inconspicuous corner was Xu Ye, sitting in a wheelchair, emitting bursts of coldness all over his body.

On this occasion, she lowered her head and the cup in her hand was covered with frost.

The whole person was visibly nervous and at a loss, and he wanted to curl himself up into a ball.

My whole body was shaking even more violently than outside in the temperature of minus thirty degrees Celsius.

As if he had noticed Lin Xing'an's gaze among the crowd, Xu Ye's face turned even paler.

"Clang clang clang!"

In the reception room, a series of bells rang.

Seeing that the time was up, Jiang Rong nodded to Zhang Guang.

Zhang Guangze clasped his hands together, moved them up and down, shook his head, and made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Rong.

Jiang Rong also smiled helplessly, put down his wine glass and walked to the center of the banquet hall.

"Everyone."

She picked up the microphone, cleared her throat and spoke.

The sound was not loud, but it was just enough to cover up all the noise of everyone chatting.

A few seconds later, everyone in the banquet hall looked at Jiang Rong.

"Everyone, I'm sure everyone knows what we're celebrating at today's celebration banquet?"

Faced with such a grand scene, Jiang Rong was actually more at ease.

"We are celebrating the Peach Blossom Land, which we have completely destroyed."

"The difference from twenty years ago is that this time, we are completely eradicating Taoyuan."

Jiang Rong paused and said.

"Alas!"

I don't know who started it, but cheers and applause suddenly broke out from the audience.

When the applause had almost died down, Jiang Rong raised his arm to suppress it.

"Everyone, Taoyuan is our greatest threat because it connects all humans and animals together." "This 'electronic ghost' spanning the four-wheeled chicken coop is the absolute leader of humans and animals."

"No other human or animal can do what Taoyuan does."

"So, killing Taoyuan is equivalent to turning humans and animals into a mess. We have successfully completed our mother's mission."

Jiang Rong smiled and looked around at the people below.

"And there will naturally be rewards for completing the task."

She paused again.

The eyes of everyone below lit up and their breathing quickened slightly.

Lin Xing'an closed his eyes.

Through his ability to perceive emotions, he can clearly sense the anticipation and excitement in everyone's hearts.

But the most important emotion is tension.

Because the vast majority of people present were low-level employees in the Siege and Coordination Departments, and they all knew full well that they had actually done nothing.

But when eliminating Taoyuan, Zhang Guang and Liang Dehai promised to divide the reward equally among everyone.

That's why they are both excited and nervous.

What makes me nervous is that I haven't paid anything, but what I'm looking forward to is that I, who haven't paid anything, can really share the reward for killing Taoyuan.

"Taoyuan has been ranked first on our committee's most wanted list of people and animals for four consecutive rounds."

"I'm sure everyone is well aware of the reward for killing Taoyuan."

"The most important thing is that I and my next three generations can serve on the committee for life and enjoy the committee's benefits."

"And themselves and their descendants have priority in the lottery of humans and animals."

Jiang Rong said as he observed everyone's expressions.

"Here, on behalf of our seven members and the entire committee, I will distribute the awards."

"And the recipients of this order are everyone present, regardless of whether you are from the Siege and Killing Division or the Coordination Division, regardless of whether you are in South City or North City."

She trailed off.

The lecture hall was silent for a second, and then there was a burst of uniform inhalation.

Almost everyone gasped!
I didn’t expect Jiang Rong to be so straightforward and give out rewards to everyone in front of everyone!

"Everyone, don't get too excited. Killing Taoyuan is the result of the efforts of each of us, so the reward should naturally be given to everyone."

"But when the reward was formulated, we didn't expect it to be like this."

"So to avoid ambiguity, I have to say a few more words."

Jiang Rong and Zhang Guang took a document.

"Everyone, starting from the next round, will get a 10% salary increase and an extra week of paid leave."

"Everyone, and I mean everyone, will be able to serve on the committee for life, including themselves and their next three generations."

"As for humans and livestock, every newlywed couple who has never raised humans or livestock will be given priority in the lottery."

"Okay, I'm done talking about rewards."

Jiang Rong nodded decisively and put down the phone.

In the hall, there was silence again over the vaccine, and then unprecedented cheers and discussions broke out!

Everyone's face was filled with incredible excitement.

Even Lin Xing'an, who was reading their emotions, was somewhat infected.

But in fact……

Lin Xing'an looked at Zhang Guang.

How could Zhang Guang, who tried to break the "hereditary system" after taking office and carried out large-scale layoffs and downsizing of the committee, really allow everyone, including their next three generations, to hold office?
This reward is just talk.

After all, starting from the next round, who knows what will happen?
"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet and let me finish."

After giving everyone enough time to digest, Jiang Rong spoke again.

This time it took more than ten seconds for everyone to completely quiet down.

"I repeat, the destruction of Taoyuan is everyone's credit."

"Don't feel like you haven't done anything. Without your hard work day and night, and without your watchful eyes on the people and animals, Taoyuan wouldn't have died."

"But for this action, I selfishly want everyone to give some applause to the person who finally ended Peach Blossom Land."

Jiang Rong gave up the center position.

"First, Zhang Guang, Minister Zhang, and Liang Dehai, Minister Liang."

As soon as she finished speaking, the banquet hall erupted in thunderous applause.

Zhang Guang and Liang Dehai also had flushed faces and walked to the middle while being polite to each other.

One of them wants to secure his position as a candidate committee member, while the other wants to retire in glory.

This time, they all got what they wanted.

Moreover, Lin Xing'an could feel that everyone's applause came from the heart.

After all, the rewards have basically been pocketed.

After the applause died down, Jiang Rong started to introduce again.

Xu Zhe, Zao Wou-Ki, Ke Ke, Li Lu...

She named all those who were directly involved in the action.

"Finally, there is Lin Xing'an, come and An'an."

Amidst the applause, Jiang Rong waved to Lin Xing'an below.

"This is my grandson, who has been working behind the scenes. The position of Taoyuan host was obtained by my grandson."

Jiang Rong pulled Lin Xing'an over, patted Lin Xing'an on the shoulder, and introduced him in a few words.

But Lin Xing'an felt that countless eyes were focused on him in an instant.

This burning gaze made him a little nervous.

Jiang Rong smiled and said nothing more, "Okay, that's all I have to say. Everyone can eat and drink now."

She put down the phone.

"Go ahead, if you like someone, just tell them. Don't be nervous."

Jiang Rong looked at Lin Xing'an and said.

Lin Xing'an also nodded.

"Hey, junior..."

Just as Ke Ke was about to go find Lin Xing'an, she was stopped by someone who came to compliment her.

It's hard to extricate yourself for a while.

When he turned around, Lin Xing'an had already disappeared in the crowd.

"Hey Xu Ye? You're here today too!"

Lin Xing'an took a glass of water and looked through the crowd towards Xu Ye's position.

Qian Qiongzhi and her group of little sisters had discovered Xu Ye at some point, and were surrounding him with smiles on their faces.

"Hey, loser, you still can't feel your legs?"

"Sister Xiaozhi, isn't it bad to just call her trash?"

"Why is it bad? That's what her dad calls her. He really wants her to die, right? Waste? That's what your dad usually calls you, right?"

Qian Qiongzhi kicked Xu Ye's wheelchair.

"I'm asking you a question, useless idiot, speak up!"

Seeing that Xu Ye just clenched his fists and lowered his head, Qian Qiongzhi snorted coldly and pushed Xu Ye out of the wheelchair.

"Hey! Sister Qiongzhi! Look under her skirt! She's not even wearing leggings!"

A girl next to him pointed at Xu Ye who fell to the ground and said.

Then they all burst into laughter!
"Hahahaha, little loser! Who taught you to dress like that? Are you such a slut?"

"What are you doing? Are you trying to climb into the wheelchair? Why are you acting like a dog? Can't you just stand up?"

"Hey, you're dressed like this, aren't you thinking someone will ask you to dance today?"

"Hahahaha, you don't really think so, do you? Do you think anyone blind would fall for you?"

Qian Qiongzhi and her sisters surrounded Xu Ye and said with laughter.

Seeing that Xu Ye was about to climb onto the wheelchair, Qian Qiongzhi kicked the wheelchair away again.

"Sister Qiongzhi, isn't it a bad idea for us to do this?"

"What's wrong with that? We just did what her father did to her!"

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter if she dies! No one cares about this piece of trash."
