Dragon Gate Swordsman

Looking at the two people who started bickering as soon as they met, Shi Huaiya on the side smiled without saying a word, just crossed her arms and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

She didn't know whether Lin Yuxia's appearance was a coincidence or intentional, but she knew that she must have taken the initiative to talk to Chen Huijie to make sure that Chen Huijie was okay, and mentioning the Victoria Royal Guard College was also a subtle reminder.

It’s a pity that she seemed to have forgotten that her family was Longmen who moved from Londinium, the capital of Victoria. It was really easy to help Xiaojie get the information about that college.

But then again, the three of them grew up together, and in the words of the boys, they were like wearing the same pants. If anyone had a few grasshoppers jumping around in their hearts, the other two would definitely know it...

"Barbecued Pork Cat, why don't you speak?"

"What do you want me to say?"

"Here's someone showing off how well he knows Victoria. Can you stand it?"

Shi Huaiya put down his hand helplessly, thinking to himself, you two are fighting each other, why do you want to drag me into this...

She would never get tired of bickering with any one of Chen Huijie and Lin Yuxia, but being dragged into it and used as a pawn was not worth it.

Therefore, Shi Huaiya's smart eyes turned slightly, and then she raised her hand and pointed to a beverage shop not far away.

"Come on, sit down and have a good chat."

Although Shi Huaiya Group has one of the largest industries in Longmen, Shi Huaiya is not a person who spends money lavishly... In fact, she has very clear and detailed regulations for her daily expenses and never wastes money.

It is not yet the hot season, so the three of them ordered juice at room temperature.

By the way, Lin Yuxia seemed to have an obsession with watermelon juice, and she always ordered drinks based on it.

The topic of chat was naturally yesterday's hijacking incident.

"Were you mistaken for a kidnapper?"

Lin Yuxia had a strange expression when she said this, as if she wanted to laugh, but didn't know why.

"I don't think any normal person would make that kind of mistake under that kind of circumstances!"

"Isn't the point that he doesn't want to listen to your explanation, Xiaojie?"

"Hey, hey, hey! BBQ Pork Cat, who are you speaking for?"

Chen Huijie found it hard to understand why Shi Huaiya seemed to have a good feeling towards Chongxiao... It would be ridiculous if the daughter of Shi Huaiya's family played such a cliché trick of falling in love at first sight.

"Talking for fun... That guy is actually quite interesting, isn't he?"

"Tsk! With a policeman like him, when will the Guard Bureau be able to manage the public security in Longmen?"

Chen Huijie picked up the cup and took a big sip of juice without noticing that a hint of subtle vigilance seemed to flash across Lin Yuxia's eyes.

As the daughter of a gangster and having personally participated in gang affairs, she knew very well that the rapid development of the Guard Bureau was not a good thing... So, should she get to know the policeman mentioned by Chen Huijie?

Maybe he can be bribed to be an "insider", or ensure that a "fool" like him can stay in the Guard Bureau forever.

"Let's not talk about that for now, Xiaoxia, we plan to buy some things for Xiaojie to take to Victoria. Where are you planning to go?"

"There's a comic exhibition over at Akashi Street Plaza."

There are also reports of short-sighted fraud gangs roaming around... There's no need to say the second half of this sentence.

However, Lin Yuxia mentioned another more important matter.

"Tell Wei Yanwu?"

"...You still don't want to call him uncle?"

Chen Huijie's face was tense, with an expression that showed he refused to answer.

Seeing this, Lin Yuxia didn't say much.

"That was my father's idea. I don't know why he didn't go directly to see Governor Wei... And what I want to convey is actually four words: ignore it."

Ignore it?

If Chen Huijie had not heard Shi Huaiya analyze so many things before, she might have felt confused, but now... her brows were tightly furrowed.

"I see. I will...tell him."

Chapter 9: Society? I’m targeting the society!

The hijacking incident at Feilong Building is a perfect example of what it means to start strong but end weakly.

All criminals, including the bandit leader, left Longmen thirty hours after their arrest. Nominally, they were transferred under escort, but almost no one knew whether this was true.

The media in Longmen all received warnings from the authorities, strictly prohibiting them from continuing to "spread rumors" and cause trouble. As a result, the popularity of the event instantly fell to the bottom, and the citizens of Longmen also lost their best after-dinner conversation.

The police officers of the Royal Guard Bureau were naturally unwilling to accept this... The main reason was not that all the suspects they caught were taken away, but that they had no way of knowing whether they would receive the punishment they deserved.

If we have to say who "benefited" from this incident, it can only be the special inspection team.

The special inspection team, including the members who were on vacation and handling the handover, received commendation from Wei Yanwu at the public report meeting of the Guard Bureau, and took advantage of this popularity to announce that the special inspection team will conduct security inspections in the entire Longmen in the future to provide a safer and better living environment for the general public.

It looks like compensation for the hijacking, but in the eyes of many people, it is actually a signal.

A Guard Bureau that has been established for more than ten years is finally going to truly "take over" the signal of Longmen.

"This old Wei! I even tried to remind him in a roundabout way, but he did something so ungrateful!"

In one of the rare high-rise buildings in the slums in the northern part of Longmen, Lin Gerui angrily tapped his cane, and the beard under his chin trembled with anger.

Longmen had gradually developed from the chaos of those years to its current prosperity, relying not only on the Guard Bureau, which had only a dozen years of history, but also on the civil organizations that he properly managed under the name of "Rat King".

Well, to put it nicely, it is a non-governmental organization, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a gang.

Even if we look at the "territorial area" under his management, the territory that he relies on to maintain stability is larger than those central urban areas...

"The doctor told you to try not to get angry, Dad."

"Don't get angry anymore? I didn't go to his house to have a fight with Old Wei, which is considered to be my self-restraint!"

"But as far as my daughter knows, you can't beat Wei Yanwu."

Lin Gerui had a daughter in his old age, and his first wife was gentle and virtuous. She had loved Lin Yuxia 120% since she was a child, and it has not changed at all now... Otherwise, based on this sentence just now, how could a generation of underworld leaders possibly bear it.

But even so, the mouse whiskers, which had been shaking constantly, could not stop at this time.

"I can't beat him? My dear daughter, you actually think I can't beat him?"

"Eh? Could it be that Dad, you..."

"You're right, I'm no match for him."

Lin Yuxia's hands froze, and the teapot that was pouring water almost fell down.

Then, the precocious beauty sighed softly and placed the full cup of tea in front of Lin Gerui, "Dad, I don't think Governor Wei is targeting you."

"What do you say, kid?"

"Although Longmen is no longer as mixed as it used to be, the forces of all parties are intertwined and intertwined. The economic prosperity is only due to the bonus period after the freedom and opening up. Once it encounters a targeted foreign invasion, it is estimated that it will easily collapse like a castle in the air."

Lin Gerui slightly opened his eyes and his expression became serious.

In addition, there is a hint of emotion hidden in this expression...

Although he and his wife have always hoped that their daughter would surpass them, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, he still felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart.

I have such a smart and beautiful daughter, what more could I ask for... Anyway, she is much better than that stubborn and obstinate niece of Old Wei!

"As the sage said: political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Governor Wei's decision this time must be to consolidate Longmen's most lacking foundation first, in order to prevent being caught off guard when encountering foreign enemies with ulterior motives in the future."

For the first few seconds, Lin Gerui said nothing, and then suddenly laughed out loud.

"dad?"

"Haha! Good, good, good! You are worthy of being my daughter. You are much better than that girl named Chen now, hahahaha!"

Lin Yuxia had never expected that her father would suddenly mention Chen Huijie, and she immediately became a little embarrassed and annoyed.

However, what made her even more embarrassed and angry was still to come...

"Very good, this is very good! Keep it up, Xia'er, and from now on, you should be better than her in everything, so that your father and I can win face... Even if that girl named Chen finds her ideal man, you have to find someone better!"

……

Sneeze!!!

After wiping his nose with his hand, Chongxiao put his face against the car window again and continued to observe the streetscape of the edge area of ​​Longmen.

As the special inspection team was officially announced to the citizens of Longmen by Wei Yanwu, the leisurely days of Chongxiao and others came to an end.

When no dangerous or serious cases occur, all members of the inspection team must go out on patrol according to the daily schedule of the Guard Bureau, and the areas they are responsible for are all areas outside Longmen where public security is relatively chaotic.

Of course, they were also granted higher law enforcement authority by Wei Yanwu, and were qualified to take direct action against criminals without making detailed reports.

Obviously, this is Governor Longmen's demonstration against the "separatist" forces in the outer blocks of the mobile city.

So...what comes after the demonstrations?

Haoyun said it was none of his business, he was just a policeman who caught criminals. Chongxiao said, Lao Wei, I will do whatever you tell me to do, and a higher salary is better than anything else.

"By the way, Chongxiao, I heard that Commander Wei got furious in the interrogation room that day?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why? Is it related to those criminals?"

Chongxiao shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

Relying on that magical ability that seemed to be able to see through other people's inner thoughts, Chongxiao concluded that the bandit leader was lying... But unfortunately, he couldn't tell what kind of lie it was, so he couldn't help Wei Yanwu much.

Old Dong said that the matter was too complicated, and Xingxiong also warned that it was best not to get involved. In addition, he knew almost nothing about the inside story, so all Chongxiao could do was tell Old Wei about his discovery.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable.

When he feels unhappy, he wants to make others feel unhappy as well... To put it nicely, this is called the active transfer of negative emotions, to put it bluntly, this is called venting.

Therefore, Chongxiao now particularly wants to see some blind gangster jump out to stop the car.

"You're overthinking it. Gangsters are ignorant but not stupid. How could they..."

Before Haoyun could finish his words, a stone suddenly appeared on the windshield.

Due to the angle and the fact that it happened so suddenly, neither of them could see clearly who threw it, but fortunately the force was not very strong and no cracks were caused.

"Gan! Chongxiao!"

"know."

Chongxiao pushed open the car door and jumped out. After rolling over, he stood up and observed the situation around him.

This is a very remote and narrow street, with bungalows less than three stories high on both sides and few shops open to the public. Even in the outer area of ​​Longmen, it is one of the most dilapidated residential areas.

However, it is precisely because of this reason that there are so many forks in the road that it is impossible to see who threw the stone.

They are not gangsters. They are unlikely to provoke the Guards, and they will not choose such a childish... Wait! A child!?

Chongxiao reacted and instantly burst out at an astonishing speed, rushing towards an alley that was only three or four people wide. He remembered that he had caught a glimpse of a short figure flashing here when he got off the car.

The other party obviously didn't expect this...

"Wow!!!"

Child?

Seeing the little boy hiding behind the box in the alley fall to the ground, Chongxiao was surprised and slowed down his pace and walked over with a confused look on his face.

"You were the one who threw the stone just now?"

“Yes… yes, so what!?”

Such a straightforward confession made Chongxiao not know what to do... This little boy, who seemed to be from the Ursus tribe, looked only seven or eight years old, and his voice was still full of milk.

The area where Longmen was active happened to be between the northwest of Dayan and the Ursus Empire, so some Ursus people settled there. However, since their hometown was a cold and bitter place with a harsh natural environment and clear class divisions, most of them were refugees, so naturally their lives were not very good.

Just then, Haoyun, who had parked the car, also ran over.

"Chongxiao, you...are you the one who threw the stone?"

He reacted quickly, but he also had no intention of pursuing the matter. Instead, he waved his hand irritably and told the little boy to leave. "Hurry up, don't wait for me to change my mind and beat you up."

That being said, Chongxiao had a vague feeling that he would definitely not do that.

"Wait, first tell me why you threw rocks at us?"
