712: Chapter 134 I Need Your Professional Skills 712: Chapter 134 I Need Your Professional Skills “I can’t spare anyone on my end.”
As soone with whom she had forged strong ties, Veronica spoke without any courtesy, very bluntly.
“It can’t be that bad; the church has so many people…”
“But now they are accusing us of hoarding arms and having ulterior motives.
All our combat teams have been disard and are gathered in the cathedral for scrutiny.”
“It’s not like you’re hoarding arms for the first ti.”
“Yeah, but now we’ve hit a snag.
There’s a saying, ‘a heart is separated by the belly’; why do you have such confidence in the church, thinking that there would definitely be no problems within?”
I never felt that the church definitely wouldn’t have problems.
As a Western sect, one hand preaches with an iron cross, the other wields a shotgun to exorcise demons, and they have a backing of more than a dozen factories with tens of thousands of female workers ready to arm themselves at any mont.
Only because the President is magnanimous enough to tolerate you.
Anyone else might not sleep well.
But right now, what Wang Yunxiao is concerned about is not whether the Qianjin Church will have problems; he just wants to stir things up.
“Tell the truth, do you have so undisclosed manpower that you can lend a bit of?”
“No!”
Bullshit!
Who was it that told Cui Xiaoying got a technician certificate and could handle contaminated items and make demon-breaking bullets for us?
After she took off her nun’s habit, she has been studying at a normal school.
Not just Cui Xiaoying, but also a bunch of young nuns like ng Wei, this sester all transferred to Qinghe Middle School to study, including that ticking ti bomb.
At that ti, Wang Yunxiao didn’t think much of it.
Now it looks like your sister had planned this a long ti ago!
“The bureau is on the verge of falling apart; you have to give your brother a hand.”
“I can’t help.
Right now we’re all in the pit, I wish I could pull you up, but who’s going to pull ?”
“…
Anyway, that’s the situation.”
Wang Yunxiao briefly shared his speculation and Huang Zhen’s deductions with Veronica over the phone.
“What do you think we should do?”
“That’s easy, go find the Red Lantern Society!”
“The Red Lantern Society?”
“Yes, seek them out, they specialize in dealing with this kind of annoying trivial ss.”
“I’m not familiar with the Red Lantern Society…”
“Hold on, let make a call to their head sister and have her contact you.”
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yunxiao felt very conflicted.
The Qianjin Church and the Red Lantern Society, these two groups centered on won, had once been trump cards in the President’s hand and had made significant contributions.
But after the President left Tiann to report his duties in the Capital, their status in the Jianghu World of Tiann gradually beca awkward.
Without the President’s protection, their gender advantage quickly turned into a gender disadvantage.
In fact, it’s not just about gender; politically, they lack a powerful voice.
At least the head sister of the Red Lantern Society still holds so titles like director of a won’s relief organization.
The Qianjin Church, due to its Western Sect nature, is inherently unpopular.
But politics is such a ruthless thing that it doesn’t matter how deep your relationship is with the President.
Who doesn’t have so connection with the President?
If you don’t claim your share of the cake, no one will kindly leave it for you.
So, in the half-year since Wang Yunxiao crossed over, in his view, the presence of the Red Lantern Society and the Qianjin Church has been visibly shrinking.
Nowadays is a ti of peace; there’s no need for won to carry rifles and go to war.
Won should just honestly return ho and have children.
This is the trend of the tis.
The Red Lantern Society originally retained a considerable level of high-tier military force, but in that explosion, it’s said that the entire leadership was blown so thoroughly to pieces that there was nothing left.
Since then, the voice of the Red Lantern Society has rarely been heard on the streets.
As for the Qianjin Church, those dozen or so factories are golden geese.
An innocent man holds no bla until he is found with a precious jade; even if they don’t look for trouble, trouble will find its way to them.
Money moves the heart.
It doesn’t matter whether the church has guns or can contribute to society.
But definitely a lot of people don’t like to see those guns in their hands.
After waiting by the phone for almost the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea, the phone rang.
“Hello, is this the Nantong District Police Bureau?”
“Yes.”
“I am Yang Youxuan, the person in charge of the Red Lantern Society.
The people from the church called and said that you need our help?”
It’s the Yang surna…
Now, every ti Wang Yunxiao hears the surna “Yang,” he gets a bit of PTSD.
“Ms.
Yang, I am Section Chief Wang Yunxiao of the Nantong District Police Bureau Special Service Section.
Our situation is a bit complicated right now…”
Wang Yunxiao briefly summarized the case and gave a simple explanation to the woman on the other end of the phone.
“What kind of help can you provide?
If there are any requests, I’ll try my best to fulfill them within my authority.”
“Punishing evil and removing vice is an unshirkable duty for the Red Lantern Society.
I will go and gather manpower now, and we can arrive by tomorrow morning.
As for any requirents, I hope that this cooperation remains private, not publicized.
I believe you understand, Section Chief Wang, that the current situation is rather sensitive.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Seeing how readily the other party agreed, Wang Yunxiao also felt relieved.
It was entirely understandable to be cautious, considering the current situation in Tiann was steeped in a mysterious and severe atmosphere.
Power struggles and internal purges weren’t as simple as inviting soone out for dinner.
Everyone has two eyes and a nose, and nobody has a “Rebel” label hanging above their head.
Who is loyal and who is not, who seems loyal but harbors ill intentions, who looks like a rebel but is actually extrely loyal.
These things are hard to say.
Those who lift the President up high on a divine shrine to worship might not necessarily want to enact the President’s will.
Those who can call the Capital and snitch to the President are not necessarily truly loyal.
Who is the rebel, who is the loyal minister, who is the mole, who is hiding sothing, and who is waiting with a repeating crossbow…
Things that even the higher-ups can’t figure out; how many ordinary people would busy themselves with it?
The manpower from the Red Lantern Society could only arrive tomorrow morning; it was normal, what decent girl would wander the streets without sleep late at night.
Wang Yunxiao hadn’t put all his hopes on them either.
He had another card that he had never played before.
Inside the police station was an isolated cell that only held one prisoner.
The person was thrown in by Wang Yunxiao, with specific instructions to the jail guards to avoid any contact with the inmate other than providing als and cleaning up waste.
When the cell door opened, a stench of sour rot hit him.
The person had always been in here, so it couldn’t possibly sll good.
With the light from the corridor, Wang Yunxiao saw the prisoner chained to the corner wall, wrapped in a torn cotton-padded coat, shivering in the corner, and only lifted his head subconsciously at the sight of light.
This person was precisely Liu Er!
Which Liu Er?
The one who fled from the Capital, followed the sixth nun from his own household on the street to beg, t Li Mumu and got half his face ripped off by a claw swipe.
After that group of loafers were arrested and convicted, they had all been transferred to prison.
Only Liu Er, due to serious facial injuries, received extended treatnt in the hospital.
Upon returning, Wang Yunxiao detained him here.
This person wasn’t particularly capable on his own; just a loafer who had bad luck and ran into a tough spot.
But at the ti, Wang Yunxiao thought he shouldn’t let him and that old devout woman die too comfortably, so he guided Song Lili to give them an extra buff.
Song Lili said, they couldn’t be allowed to die easily.
The words spoken out of the child’s mouth could twist reality!
So, this person had not died.
If asured against Fusang’s local standards, this sentence alone would be enough to twist him into so kind of strange tale.
But this was Tiann, and no matter how this little Karami got twisted and mutated, he couldn’t escape from the palm of Wang Yunxiao’s hand.
Wang Yunxiao always believed, even a salted fish had its purpose.
Now, it was ti to let the dog out to bite people.
Liu Er wriggled his body, trying hard to open his eyes to see who was in front of him.
But upon seeing clearly, he was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body, howling as he scrambled to hide in the corner.
Long-term solitary confinent had almost robbed him of the ability to speak.
Uh…
Fortunately, the moral gentlen outside haven’t seen this miserable state; otherwise, they would be utterly outraged.
He only abducted a few children, he didn’t commit any murders, why suffer such a plight babbling…
“Liu Er, you can get out now!”
“Ah?”
Liu Er couldn’t believe his own ears, thinking he was hallucinating.
I can get out?
Are you fooling ?
Are you tricking into going out to get shot?
Clatter—
A Silver fell in front of him, emitting a crisp sound on the ground.
Wang Yunxiao’s face revealed a kindly smile.
“I’m offering you a chance to plead for leniency, do you want it?
If you don’t want to do it, I’ll find soone else.”
“I’ll do it—I’ll do it!”
Liu Er suddenly jerked to life, the Silver instantly awakening his senses.
He pounced to clutch it to his chest, his head banging against the floor: “Whatever you ask to do, I’ll do it!”
Under the light, the horrific and disfigured wound on his face exposed his gums, making him look particularly fierce.
“This look is not bad.”
Wang Yunxiao nodded slightly.
“What did you say, sir?”
Liu Er didn’t hear clearly and couldn’t help but ask.
“Never mind, I just need you to keep this image and play to your professional strengths, creating a small ntal shock for the neighbors.”
