Dragon Gate Swordsman

You have to know that Texas started out by joining the Special Inspectorate and was promoted to Senior Superintendent like a rocket. This would not have been possible just by his diligent attitude. His own abilities are what matter most.

Therefore, she quickly figured out something from Xingxiong's strange behavior.

First of all, there’s the newly done hair... Xingxiong is a casual person. Even if he has to attend formal occasions, he usually doesn’t pay too much attention to the details of his image, let alone get his hair done.

The second is the sudden change of mood... Xingxiong is a person with extremely strong self-control, so strong that he can easily curb the natural frenzy ability of the ghost clan. Such behavior is indeed a bit abnormal.

Then there is this attitude... Her eyes are wandering and she doesn't dare to look me in the eye. She is also deliberately hiding something while she is hesitating. Combining the above two points, this incident is the reason why she is in such a good mood now, and it is related to me to a certain extent.

Finally, Texas's high-speed brain captured a detail that Jiu mentioned when he came back from delivering newspapers a few days ago: Chongxiao, who was sitting inside, had his eyes closed and looked happy, as if he was recalling something beautiful.

With a light "ding" sound, a small piece of the blade of the Yama Sword popped out before Xingxiong's face turned pale in an instant.

"You...did it?"

“No, no, no! You…what are you talking about, Texas, ahaha…hahahaha…”

Cold sweat had already seeped out of Xingxiong's forehead. As far as these female police officers from the special inspection team were concerned, their relationship with someone had always maintained a kind of wonderful balance. As a result, on that day, that someone stretched out his evil claws very rudely... Although he was the passive party, he more or less felt a little like a "cat stealing fish".

"You don't want to tell me, right? It's okay, I'll go ask Chongxiao."

Texas sneered, put away the Yama Sword, turned around and left, leaving Xingxiong stunned in the office.

……

just now.

It is very easy to find Chongxiao. As a senior superintendent in charge of the special inspection team, Texas can let his subordinates find out the latest actions of the anti-terrorist forces with just a flick of his finger.

Therefore, after Haoyun reported the fierce battle that took place on the edge of the slums, she quickly followed the clues and found him... That's right, Haoyun did not actually "betray" Chongxiao. He was just pushing forward the basic procedures of reporting the case. In the end, he just needed to explain that it was Inspector Chongxiao who was handling the case, and there would be no need to send police to deal with it.

Who knew that Texas happened to be at the command center...

Therefore, Texas's anger at this time is understandable: Chongxiao had something with Xingxiong, which was fine, but he was also touching a Sarkaz woman of unknown origin.

I rubbed your ears and stroked your tail, but what the hell do you think of me who has been waiting for you?

Maybe, probably, or possibly, Texas is in this state of mind right now...

"Now, tell me honestly, Inspector Chongxiao, what were you doing just now?"

“…Treatment.”

"Oh? Really? What kind of disease do you need to treat that requires you to hold down a poor, powerless woman?"

You are powerless!

Askalon, lying on the bed covered with a quilt, almost bit his teeth to pieces, and sighed in his heart... As the personal guard of His Highness and the student of the Regent, he was more or less well-known in Kazdel in terms of strength and status. How could he become a poor creature who was slaughtered and humiliated at the mercy of others in Longmen?

Even a little girl like Rupert could just hold a knife...Huh? This knife! ?

Askalon, who had just noticed the Yama Blade, suddenly had a hint of surprise in her eyes. With her keen eyesight, she could naturally see that this weapon was extraordinary.

But now Chongxiao and Texas didn’t care about her reaction at all.

"She!? Powerless? Pitiful?"

"What? Do you want to say something else..."

Texas was suddenly stuck, because she just then noticed the horn on Ascalon's head... It was a Sarkaz horn, and the tip was a strange purple color, which gave it a "high-end" feel no matter how you looked at it.

In this land, "high-end goods" often represent something extraordinary...

Silence, embarrassing silence.

At this moment, Texas suddenly turned around without any warning and looked at Haoyun at the door with an expressionless face.

Haoyun spread his hands and started mumbling something...his words were quite confusing, but to sum up the meaning should be "You didn't give me time to explain it clearly."

Finally, the Yama Sword across Chongxiao's neck moved.

Texas sheathed the knife, nodded slightly, his eyes a little vague, and raised his left hand to cover his mouth... I have to say, this action was very much like the bewildered little girl in the anime, which dissipated most of the momentum of the accusation.

"Well... then... then what is the situation with this lady?"

"In principle, the situation was simple, she was a friend of my friend, but we didn't know that before, so... well, there was a fight."

"You beat him up like this?"

Chongxiao laughed, and now it was his turn to have an uncertain look in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm the head of the Special Inspection Team of the Imperial Guard Bureau, Senior Superintendent Celinina Texas. Please allow me to express my sincere apologies to you on behalf of my subordinates. All your medical expenses in Longmen will be covered by our Imperial Guard Bureau."

"...Trouble."

It turned out to be the boss... When Texas revealed his identity, Askalon briefly thought of reporting him, but in the end he returned to his original personality and decided that it was better to mind his own business.

Chongxiao, who was relieved, tried to change the subject immediately, but he vividly demonstrated what it meant to bring up something that is not related to the topic.

"I'll take care of her affairs, Texas...By the way, do you have anything to ask me?"

Haoyun at the door slapped himself in the face and decided to pretend not to see it.

Texas had no intention of hiding anything. After apologizing to Askalon on the bed again, she grabbed Chongxiao's clothes... Well, she wanted to do that, but the absolute difference in altitude made her only grab the front edge of someone, and then dragged him out of the ward.

Soon, the two came to the corridor window.

It was dusk now, and the patients were either having dinner or going out for a walk with their family members, so there were hardly any people in the huge corridor.

However, after seeing this scene, it was not Chongxiao who felt relieved, but Texas...

"I...I have something to ask you..."

"What's the matter?"

"you you……"

Texas didn't dare to look up at all, and glanced out the window, "Have you...already...?"

"What's going on? This is unlike you, Texas. Is Lapland causing trouble for you again or is Old Wei giving you a hard time again?"

"neither!"

Miss Rupert suddenly glared at him, and in addition to anger and shyness, there was also a very obvious resentment in her look.

Now, Chongxiao was even more confused.

Compared to Xingxiong, Ajiu, Linghe Nian and others, Texas should be the one who hides herself least often. Even if there is any question, as long as you ask it while stroking her fur, rubbing her ears, and stroke her tail, she will definitely get the correct answer.

But Texas looks weird today. She even had such a big misunderstanding with me just now... Qi Kexiu, if we really have any idea about Ascalon, there is no need to come to the hospital. We can just take her outside while she is unconscious...

Ahem! This is just a metaphor...

Finally, under Chongxiao's increasingly speechless gaze, Texas finally spoke out.

"Did you...do that with Xingxiong?"

That one? Which one? Should I hug her and kiss her till she has no power to resist or should I ask her to be my girlfriend?

Chongxiao was not very sure, but what he was sure of was that he already knew why Texas had this reaction.

"It seems that Xingxiong didn't tell you..."

"say what?"

"I want her to be my girlfriend."

Chongxiao smiled and placed his hands on Texas' shoulders, "Same to you."

Ding!

The Yama Sword was unsheathed again and raised at an incredible angle and speed, about to block the two of them.

But this time, Chongxiao, who was already prepared, was not panicked at all. He raised and turned his left hand deftly, and in an instant he had snatched the Yama Sword from Texas' hand. With his other hand, he reached out and hugged the Rupert girl's body.

"……shameful."

"How could I? Heaven and earth can attest to my sincerity."

Chongxiao did not lie. He was indeed considering the problem at hand very seriously, but he had already come to a conclusion.

"Besides, there's nothing wrong with this. My father married more than one woman. I remember when I was a kid, I had to call many people "Mom", even my master was one of them."

"That's just bullshit..."

Texas turned his head away with a slightly red face, not daring to look him in the eye, but he soon realized something, "Wait! You...recovered your memory!?"

"No, I only remembered a few of them."

When dealing with Texas, Chongxiao did not adopt the same aggressive and oppressive tactics as Xingxiong, but instead returned the Yama Sword to her and let go of the girl's body.

Xingxiong is a man who is tough on the outside but gentle on the inside. Although he has experienced a lot, he knows nothing about areas he has never been involved in. Therefore, he is essentially an innocent girl. But Texas is just the opposite. Her training as a killer means that she is destined to find her goal and give everything for it.

For Texas, being strong is counterproductive, and what she really needs is to become the one she wants.

Just like a strange puppy, if you try to hold it forcibly, you may even risk getting bitten. But once it becomes its trusted owner, it will understand the feeling of being clingy even if you do nothing.

Okay... Zhongxiao admitted that the above were all excuses. The real reason he didn't go further was that this was a hospital corridor, a public place. If it was in his own office, he would have kissed Texas until he was dizzy...

"By the way, how did you know about me and Xingxiong...uh, when did you become so dirty, Texas."

"No...none of your business!"

Texas, knowing that he had misunderstood something, said angrily, "Besides...besides, what does what you did have to do with me?"

"Still being stubborn? Believe me or not..."

Before Chongxiao could stretch out his hand as if to do something, the figure of the Rupert girl had already appeared three meters away, and was running towards the front of the corridor.

But unfortunately, the tail that kept shaking behind her revealed something, which made Chongxiao smile with satisfaction.

Chapter 130 The most terrifying mystery in this land

Director Xie Ming's feelings towards his subordinate Chongxiao can be described as love and hate.

What I love is his ability and efficiency in dealing with criminals, but what I hate is that he acts recklessly without paying attention to the consequences.

For example, in this fight against the Sarkaz assassins, they actually created a huge fire cage directly in the slums, and it happened to be right after the mysterious dragon shadow crossed the sky over the city... It's really hard not to make some associations...

Then this guy asked Haoyun to submit a report saying it was a complete misunderstanding! ?

Xie Ming almost used up all his rationality to not tear up the damn report.

There were as many as a dozen witnesses, the message spread throughout the slums, and the people of Lungmen were in a panic. Everything had become a mess because of the massive infiltration of Sarkaz spies and the actions of the anti-terrorist forces. It was a mess that the Guards could not handle no matter how they tried.

You see, the continuous attacks, people need reasonable explanations, right? The mysterious people wandering around, people need to know who they are, right? The murder cases suddenly increased several times, people need to bear the emotional pressure, right?

The Guard Bureau is not only responsible for the criminals in Longmen, but more importantly for the stability of social order and the tranquility of the city's atmosphere. Otherwise, it would just be a warlord force that fights violence with violence.

Therefore, Xie Ming decided to do something to help calm the citizens of Longmen.

"…The Imperial Guard Bureau's tenth anniversary celebration?"

“I think this will be warmly received by the citizens.”

"Don't forget, the same goes for your finances."

Ever since Wei Yanwu retired from the position of director and devoted himself to the work of governor, many funding projects of the Guard Bureau have not been as easy to obtain as before.

They do return what is given, and it is barely enough, but the police officers are not allowed to waste money or do anything fancy during operations... For example, Haoyun asked a firearms repairman to modify and upgrade his internal firing structure.

The "extra income" of the Guard Bureau nowadays mainly comes from cooperating with major groups to carry out acting training projects, which Xingxiong has done many times, as well as fines for illegal activities.

In fact, this can be regarded as a continuation of Wei Yanwu's original philosophy: to increase the salary as much as possible, but the remuneration will never be generous.

In short, if one wants to organize a celebration event that will affect the entire mobile city, it is impossible for the Guard Bureau alone to do so, so Xie Ming came to find Wei Yanwu.

"Well... that depends on your ability, Commander Wei."

"What does it have to do with me?"

Wei Yanwu took a puff of his cigarette in annoyance. "Besides, the new headquarters building, the complete equipment and supplies, and the matching bonus housing, which one have I not prepared for you?"

"That's why we need this opportunity to let the citizens understand Chief Wei's painstaking efforts."

Xie Ming is not a person who curries favor with the powerful, he just tells the truth.

There is indeed a view in Longmen at present that when Wei Yanwu was in office, the Guards Bureau was ineffective and could not even take care of areas outside the core streets. It was only when he stepped down that he dealt with the biggest gang leaders.

Since he voluntarily resigned and Xie Ming inherited the command of the Guard Bureau, the size, strength and prestige of the Guard Bureau have experienced exponential growth, and have truly brought peace and stability to Longmen.

There are many people who hold this idea. Most of them are short-sighted and superficial people who only care about the surface, but no one can deny that such people often occupy the mainstream of society.
