I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

Gu Yuanqiao laughed heartily a few times and said, "Wenguang, Old Wei said that this kid would definitely disappear without a trace and hide from people once he arrived in Donghai. I didn't expect that he would cause such a big commotion in just a few days. No wonder Old Wei wanted him to be the 'Secret Investigator' of 'Dragon Shadow'."

After his guess was confirmed, Lü Wenguang's heart trembled a few times.

Dragon Shadow is the law enforcement team of the Great Xia Kingdom. Its level is far higher than that of the Law Enforcement Bureau. It is not subject to the jurisdiction of any other department and has a high degree of independent authority.

Dragon Shadow is responsible for dealing with all enemies, both domestic and foreign, that threaten national security.

The Dark Inspectors of Dragon Shadow are a very special group within Dragon Shadow. There is only one in each city, and they even have the privilege of acting first and reporting later. Moreover, even the city capital has no right to inquire about them, let alone know the identity of the local Dark Inspector.

He learned of the death of the East Sea Investigator ten days ago from a high-ranking official in the capital.

Yesterday he was anxious about betting too much on Chu Yang, but if Chu Yang becomes the Dragon Shadow Investigator, then his big bet will have paid off.

"My lord, to be honest, I have a very close relationship with Chu Yang. Just now you had some questions about the land reclamation project, didn't you? Actually, Su Wanning of the Su Group is his wife."

Gu Yuanqiao looked relieved and slapped his thigh hard.

"That's great! The reason Elder Wei didn't send Longying's men to find Chu Yang was because he was worried that the kid would be difficult to control. That's why he had me, the provincial governor, personally come to give him face. To be honest, before coming here, I was worried that I would fail Elder Wei's instructions. Now that you have this connection, I'm relieved. Just tell him directly in a bit, and I'll step in later."

A brief silence fell over the study, and Lü Wenguang's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Well... I think it's better to..."

Just as he was thinking about how to shirk this "burden," the steward of the manor knocked on the door in a panic.

"My lord, the young lady has gone out without a single guard."

Lu Wenguang frowned, and reprimanded her angrily, "What are you all doing? Send someone to follow her immediately. If anything happens to Miss, can you take responsibility?"

The butler said with a wronged expression, "Miss got into a taxi with Mr. Chu, and our people didn't dare to follow."

Lu Wenguang immediately broke out in a cold sweat and secretly glanced at Gu Yuanqiao's reaction.

Gu Yuanqiao nodded with a smile.

"Wenguang, I just realized that Sisi has feelings for Chuyang. It seems you'll have to keep an eye on your little darling."

Lu Wenguang's forehead was covered in another layer of cold sweat.

"Sir, Sisi is still young and doesn't understand those things between men and women. She was just being playful. Besides, Chu Yang saved her life, so it's normal for her to be grateful."

Gu Yuanqiao smiled meaningfully.

"Wenguang, why are you so nervous? I know what kind of person my son is. If you think he's not good enough for Sisi, our engagement can be dissolved at any time."

People in officialdom, no matter how good their relationship is, are always wary of each other.

At this moment, Lü Wenguang couldn't tell whether Gu Yuanqiao's words were true or false, but in any case, he couldn't continue speaking.

"Sigh, I don't get involved in the children's affairs."

He immediately changed the subject, "By the way, the law enforcement bureau is having a competition this afternoon, and as far as I know, Chu Yang will definitely be there. Why don't we go check it out?"

Gu Yuanqiao nodded thoughtfully. "I know about this assessment. Is this why Jiang He came?"

Lu Wenguang said with a hint of worry, "I heard that Jiang He and Chu Yang had a very unpleasant argument last night."

Gu Yuanqiao frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Hiss... Oh no! I might have done something wrong."

"After Jiang He learned that the Dragon Shadow Investigator of the East Sea had died in the line of duty, he started pulling strings everywhere to try and fill the vacancy. Last night, I saw that he was depressed, so I chatted with him for a bit and found out that he had a conflict with someone."

"He's a good person in every way, except he's too petty. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle the shock if he suddenly heard that someone had already been chosen as the Secret Inspector, so I subtly mentioned that the main reason I came to Donghai this time was to persuade Chu Yang to become the Secret Inspector."

Upon hearing this, Lü Wenguang was shocked. "Ah? This... could there be a problem?"

Gu Yuanqiao also felt a little uneasy. "I was wondering why Jiang He's eyes turned red when he heard the name 'Chu Yang.' Turns out, he met Chu Yang last night. This afternoon, let's keep a low profile and go as ordinary spectators. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong!"

At that moment, Chu Yang was sneezing repeatedly in the taxi.

"And who's been talking about me behind my back?"

He rubbed his nose while complaining.

Lu Sisi obediently handed over the tissue, "I bet it's that guy Gu Chen talking bad about you behind your back."

Chu Yang: "..."

Now he understands why some people say never to offend a woman, and never to mess with even a young girl who is not yet twenty.

"I have some free time at lunchtime, how about I treat you to lunch? What would you like to eat?"

Lü Sisi nodded excitedly, "Great! Let's... play PUBG!"

Chu Yang felt that the answer was a bit "dirty," but she was a young girl, so she wouldn't make a lewd joke on her own initiative, would she?

Lu Sisi picked a fried chicken shop and solemnly introduced it as the best fried chicken in the whole of Donghai.

The news was playing on the TV in the store.

The news that the city council took the initiative to approach the Su Group to discuss the East China Sea Diamond Bay reclamation project was revealed in an exclusive interview today.

Chu Yang ate fried chicken while watching the news with great interest.

Su Wanning, Liu Fangfei, Su Kang, and Su Jian all appeared on television.

Apart from Su Wanning, who looked slightly worried, the other three were all very excited.

"Wow, Yang-gege, your wives are so beautiful!"

Chu Yang looked at Lü Sisi with a strange expression. "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Lu Sisi playfully stuck out her little tongue, "Don't think I don't know anything. Sister Wan Ning is your wife, and Sister Fei Fei is your woman too. And, I've discovered that Sister War God... mmm..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Yang quickly covered her mouth.

"Grandma, stop yelling."

Lü Sisi laughed so hard she almost fell over. "There's nothing shameful about it! After my mother passed away, my father still has three concubines. He loves them very much and often takes them to various banquets. He even said that he wants to accumulate more contribution points to the country so that he can marry them all openly and legitimately."

These words seemed to enlighten Chu Yang.

The Great Xia Dynasty does indeed have a rule that allows one to exchange points earned through contributions to the nation for additional spouses.

But almost no one does that.

The greater one's contribution to the country, the higher one's social status and the more wealth one acquires.

Most people treat beautiful women as playthings, thinking that spending money is enough and there's no need to waste contribution points.

Since all that's missing is a certificate, many women have accepted this kind of unofficial, sugar daddy arrangement.

"Yeah, if I earn more contribution points, wouldn't my wife finally get a legitimate status? Uh... provided she's willing."

Just then, Chu Yang received a call from Su Wanning.

He stared at the screen, wondering which wife was calling.

"Hey, where are you? Who are you with?"

Su Wanning's voice was unreadable, but her assertive questioning style gave Chu Yang a clue.

"Oh, I was playing PUBG with Sisi," Chu Yang said truthfully.

Su Wanning remained silent for a moment.

"Chu Yang, now you need to answer my question honestly. Do you know who the powerful figure behind Li Heihu is?"
