On Saturday morning at 10 a.m., the sound of a car engine could be heard outside the martial arts school.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Wang opened the door and saw that it was indeed Wen Lujia.

"Senior sister, so early? Isn't the banquet in the evening?"

"I've come to see my second senior brother."

As Wen Lujia spoke, she walked straight inside.

Xiao Wang glanced outside the door and saw a police jeep parked there.

He closed the door, turned around, and looked at Wen Lujia.

Today she was wearing a black dress, and her hair was no longer in a high ponytail but was draped over her shoulders. Most importantly, she was wearing a pair of high heels. Although the heels weren't very high, they made her already 1.7-meter-tall figure appear even taller.

Her overall image doesn't resemble that of someone from the police station—capable and poised—but rather possesses a gentle, ladylike quality.

"Second Brother, how's your leg recovery going?"

"That's good. You should be able to walk normally again in a while."

Not only Xiao Wang, but also Wei Zhongxing, Cheng Hu, and Linghu Ke couldn't help but keep looking at Wen Lujia's outfit.

"Jiajia, what's with your outfit?"

There's a banquet tonight.

"Oh, no wonder. I was saying you changed your ways today."

"Teacher, what are you saying? I'm a woman too, and I have a gentle side, okay?"

"You...gentle?" Wei Zhongxing smiled. "Do you consider yourself to be even remotely compatible with that word?"

"How can it not be ladylike?" Wen Lujia retorted, turning to Xiao Wang and asking, "Junior brother, isn't my outfit ladylike?"

"Well, it's all show and no substance."

"Hahahaha." Cheng Hu and Linghu Ke immediately burst into laughter.

"You want to die, don't you? By the way, what are you wearing? You're not just wearing this, are you?"

Wen Lujia looked at Xiao Wang's clothes; they were old and worn, with many tears and rips along the edges.

Xiao Wang hasn't bought new clothes in a long time. The clothes he usually changes into are at least three years old, and some of them are even his adoptive father Zhou Zhengxiong's clothes from when he was young. Zhou Zhengxiong and Qin Fengying wanted to buy him some, but he refused. He knew that Zhou Zhengxiong was supporting the family alone and paying for his high school tuition, so the pressure on him was immense.

"What? Am I not allowed in here dressed like this, or are they not going to give me anything to eat?"

"No, don't you have any other clothes?"

"Yes, but not as good as this outfit."

"Never mind, it doesn't matter."

Hearing their conversation, Wei Zhongxing interjected, "Wait, wait, he and you are attending the banquet?"

"Yes, it's a promotion banquet for the police chief."

"Oh, no wonder."

The group exchanged pleasantries at the entrance of the main hall, while Xiao Wang, not wasting a single moment, immediately began practicing his Vajra Leg technique in the courtyard.

Wen Lujia was taken aback. "Teacher, you taught him a second combat skill?"

"This kid has been working hard at the martial arts school lately, and his martial arts talent is indeed quite good, so we made an exception and taught him the Vajra Leg technique."

Xiao Wang practiced kicking and stomping in the courtyard. Although he had memorized the movements of the Vajra Leg, practicing them was still quite difficult.

The most important thing in leg techniques is to have a stable lower body. Every time you kick, you stand on one leg. If your lower body is unstable, your whole body will be unstable and sway.

At this moment, Xiao Wang's movements were unsteady and he could only barely complete them, but he did not stop because of this. Instead, he continued to practice, while circulating his breathing techniques and sinking his energy to his lower body to keep his body as stable and balanced as possible.

They practiced until lunchtime before Xiao Wang stopped, washed up, changed his clothes, and sat down to eat lunch with everyone.

After dinner, the group chatted until around four o'clock before Xiao Wang and Wen Lujia left the martial arts school, got into a jeep, and headed to the banquet venue.

The banquet venue was located in the west of the city, and it took about thirty minutes to drive there along the bad roads outside the city.

Throughout the journey, Xiao Wang sat in the passenger seat, chatting casually with Wen Lujia, but he was actually making other plans in his mind. After all, he was about to meet Hu Guangzhong, and it was necessary to give himself a little reminder.

Half an hour later, the vehicle stopped in front of a building. Xiao Wang got out of the car with Wen Lujia and looked around. There were already many vehicles parked nearby, including police jeeps and more than a dozen Rodius cars.

Xiao Wang looked at the cars, some new and some old. In all the years he had lived in the outer city, he had never seen as many Rotisco cars as he had seen today. Xiao Wang estimated that most of the prominent figures in the outer city would be here today. According to what Wen Lujia had said before, quite a few people from the inner city would also be attending.

This was his first time meeting people from the inner city.

After looking at the vehicles, I looked at the building next to me. It didn't look much different from the other buildings. Its exterior was mottled and peeling, with bullet holes scattered around it, bearing witness to the history of the battle between the Federation and the rebels in this border city.

"Let's go, it seems quite a few people have already arrived."

Wen Lujia said, leading Xiao Wang into the building.

Two bodyguards stood at the building entrance. They nodded respectfully to Wen Lujia and said, "Captain Wen, please come in."

Wen Lujia looked at the two men and introduced them: "This is Xiao Wang, my subordinate. Please get to know him."

The two looked at Xiao Wang, nodded, and greeted him, "Hello, Brother Wang."

Xiao Wang nodded to them in response.

After Wen Lujia led Xiao Wang into the building, they did not go upstairs, but went downstairs.

Xiao Wang wasn't surprised. In the outer city of Yuanshan, he knew that many important places were underground. Even the factory where his adoptive father, Zhou Zhengxiong, worked was underground in the inner city, only the exit was in the outer city area.

Wen Lujia was clearly not a first-timer at this place; she knew the way well, went down the steps, and walked straight ahead.

Xiao Wang followed behind her, through a long passageway, then turned left and came to an iron gate.

There were still two people guarding the door. When they saw Wen Lujia come forward, they called out "Captain Wen" and opened the door directly.

Xiao Wang followed him inside, turned left, and entered another passageway. However, unlike the outside passageway, this one was covered with a light carpet.

This surprised Xiao Wang, as it was the first time he had ever seen a carpeted area in the outer city.

After walking along the carpet for about thirty meters, we came to a gate, which was a double gate design.

Two people were still standing by the door. When they saw Wen Lujia, they stepped forward and asked, "Captain Wen, did you bring any weapons? If so, please let us keep them safe."

"I didn't bring anything. Did you bring anything?" Wen Lujia asked Xiao Wang.

"no."

The two didn't check anything, but after asking a few questions, they let Wen Lujia take Xiao Wang inside.

Before going in, Xiao Wang glanced at the weapons handed over beside him. There were pistols, daggers, and he also saw a pair of small daggers.

"hiss……"

Before he could think too much, Wen Lujia had already pushed open the door, and a noisy sound accompanied by Shasha's singing came from inside.
