MTLNOVEL Chapter 626 Astonishing Similarities
"You really shouldn't have said that," Su Jiang quickly calmed down, and even the anger on his face vanished. He patted the Chief Administrative Officer's shoulder earnestly and said, "We need to trust the organization and more importantly, trust ourselves.
"Our duty is to obey orders, and randomness in events doesn't mean they don't exist."
The Chief Administrative Officer laughed heartily, "Exactly! We're just getting old and worrying about nothing. By the way, I heard that Living Yama is getting married. Didn't he invite you, his former leader?"
"No…" Su Jiang awkwardly scratched his chin. "Even if I don't have time to attend, he should at least call to inform me, right?"
"Get real! You think he would dare to call you about his wedding? I bet he's invited everyone in the district except you, President Su," said the Chief Administrative Officer, not sparing Su Jiang's feelings.
"Alright, alright, let's drop it... Let's go out for a walk and make those hoodlums stay alert. Maybe we can easily complete the task that the North couldn't."
"Hahaha… That makes sense."
Shixi Town
After having breakfast, Sheng Ning and Xu Qigang were carrying big and small packages back to her parental home. Before they even entered the village, they saw a person lying on a tree at the distant village entrance.
Xu Qigang picked up a stone from the ground and threw it. Although it was a small stone, it whistled through the air due to its speed and the force behind it.
Qin Yue, who was lying on the tree trunk sleeping, didn't even open his eyes. Instead, he spun his body around and jumped down directly from the five- or six-meter-tall tree. He landed with a spin, effortlessly dissipating the force of impact and stood up with swagger.
Sheng Ning watched in awe. Was this the capability of the Deputy Director of the Southern Union Special Action Department? Indeed... being able to become the deputy director among so many elites really set him apart.
"Why the hell are you hiding up in a tree on such a cold day?" Xu Qigang spoke impatiently, "There aren't any 'team flowers' around here."
The Little Hooligan flirting with the 'team flower' had been a legend in the Southern for many years, unmatched by anyone else. The key was... he managed to keep everyone well in line.
"I recently lost interest in 'team flowers'..." Qin Yue spoke nonchalantly, "These days I fancy..." He was cut off mid-sentence by a kick from Xu Qigang, who timely stopped him.
"Shut up if you don't want to die miserably," said Xu Qigang, glaring at him while leading the way.
Seeing that Sheng Ning was still behind, Qin Yue put on a charming smile, "Morning! Sister-in-law, happy newlywed life."
Sheng Ning nodded happily, "You're up early too!" Being called 'sister-in-law' by the Deputy Director of the Southern Union Special Action Department was indeed very pleasing to her.
Xu Qigang stumbled a bit as he walked ahead, nearly turning back to kick him again, "Hurry up and lead the way." He said, grabbing Qin Yue to walk at the front like brothers.
"Weren't you always reluctant to admit that I am older than you?" Xu Qigang was sincerely worried for his niece; if this bastard really did something to An'an, his wife would definitely not let him off the hook first.
"I've thought it over!" Qin Yue said seriously, "Anyway, An'an is younger than Sheng Ning. After I marry An'an, I'll still have to call you brother-in-law. It's better for me to start calling her 'sister-in-law' now—it's my way of showing respect to you after all these years as brothers."
"Get lost... Take that respect back to the South."
"Come on! You've got to help me out, my lifelong happiness depends on you." If it weren't for An'an, why would he have stayed here for so many days? Without any tasks or competitions... it was like an eternity for him.
