Chapter 1361: Chapter 1362: Unlucky Xuanqing Sect (2)
After Shao Xing made the call stating his intent, Director Zhang in Beauty Town readily agreed, promising with utmost confidence to complete the task.
However, when news ca an hour later that all the major halls were annihilated, Long Zaitian was completely stunned.
"Where’s Zhang Lui?! Didn’t he send the police to support us?!" Shao Xing’s face was pale as he kept asking his secretary.
"Director Shao, please calm down! According to the brothers from the halls, there were no police at the scene during the clash, not even a single auxiliary police officer!"
Shao Xing fell heavily onto his chair, eyes vacant, "How could it be like this? Godfather, how did it beco like this?"
At the sa ti, Long Zaitian was also in shock. The Xuanqing Sect lost its four finest halls at the Jinyin City headquarters overnight, with countless casualties. The impact on the Xuanqing Sect after tonight would be unimaginable!
The more Long Zaitian thought about it, the angrier he beca. He grabbed the phone beside him and dialed a number.
The call connected after only a few rings. Long Zaitian, furious, began cursing without thinking.
"What did I tell you before? Where are the people you sent out? Zhang Lui, I could raise you from a lowly police officer to the position of Police Director, and I can make you fall in a minute! If you don’t give
a satisfactory explanation today, I guarantee you won’t see tomorrow’s sunrise!"
"..."
"What?! You don’t know why your subordinates didn’t dispatch? Zhang Lui, are you treating
like a three-year-old? Those bastards are all your people, and you can’t mobilize them?!" The more Long Zaitian listened, the angrier he beca, more convinced that Zhang Lui was playing him.
Shao Xing was thoroughly confused by the conversation between Long Zaitian and Zhang Lui. He moved his chair closer, pressing his ear against Long Zaitian’s phone.
From the receiver, Zhang Lui’s anxious voice could faintly be heard.
"Sect Leader Long, you have to believe ; I really didn’t do it on purpose! I did give the orders, and I entrusted the matter to my most trusted subordinate. He also promised confidently to complete the task. I really don’t know why things turned out this way! Sect Leader Long, give
two days, and I will definitely get to the bottom of this!" Zhang Lui was inwardly cursing, wondering at which point things had gone wrong, why no one executed the orders that had clearly been issued?!
Long Zaitian glanced at Shao Xing, who was giving him a aningful look, took a deep breath, and suppressed his inner fury. "Fine, I’ll give you two days, but you must find out who orchestrated this! Otherwise, prepare to be dismissed and go ho!"
After hanging up the phone, the eting room was silent. The mbers of the Xuanqing Sect didn’t dare make a sound. At tis like these, it was best to avoid provoking Long Zaitian’s wrath.
Long Zaitian sat in his chair with a grim face, eyes closed. For a long ti, until everyone felt that even breathing was becoming difficult, he finally opened his eyes.
"Get out! Ah Xing, stay!"
Everyone felt a sense of relief and hurriedly got up to leave.
"Hmph! Useless! All of you act tough when there’s nothing going on, but as soon as sothing happens, you just hide!" Long Zaitian snorted coldly, then turned to look at Shao Xing, "Ah Xing, what do you think about this matter?"
"Godfather, I don’t quite understand. Didn’t Zhang Lui already issue the order?"
"Hmph! What’s so hard to understand about that? Zhang Lui did issue the order to deploy police, but if I’m not wrong, soone must have suppressed it! The assault on Xuanqing Sect tonight was definitely preditated, and there must be soone aiding from within the police departnt!"
...
Yu Family Villa, small courtyard.
"Chief Zhao, today’s matter was well handled. Thanks to you, tonight’s issue was resolved smoothly." On the terrace, An Yiqing’s soft voice drifted in the night.
"Miss An, you flatter . It was just a small effort on my part. Everything was thanks to Miss An’s astute foresight. Tonight, the Xuanqing Sect suffered heavy losses with their four halls; Long Zaitian must be furious. Miss An, the Xuanqing Sect has considerable influence, and sooner or later, they will trace things back to the two of us." Chief Zhao Zhenxing’s voice on the other end held a hint of worry.
In the darkness, An Yiqing’s lips curled into a aningful smile, "No worries. After tomorrow, even if the Xuanqing Sect knows it was my doing, I don’t think they’ll have the energy to co after ."
Zhao Zhenxing was taken aback, suddenly realizing the implications.
"Miss An, do you an to say that the higher-ups intend to..."
"Yes, this matter is known only to those at the core. My grandfather told . The bigwigs are furious and have completely sealed off all news about Jinyin City. The Supervisory Group they dispatched will arrive secretly tomorrow. By that ti, let alone the Xuanqing Sect, the whole Jinyin City will be in chaos, and Long Zaitian won’t have the energy to bother ."
Zhao Zhenxing felt relieved, the weight lifted off his shoulders, and his admiration for An Yiqing’s strategic foresight grew.
"So that’s how it is. But Miss An, do you know who is in the Supervisory Group this ti?" Zhao Zhenxing asked casually.
"Hmm, not sure. Grandfather said it’s confidential and didn’t tell ."
The frustration in An Yiqing’s words was clear to Zhao Zhenxing, and he laughed heartily, thinking that although this stunning young lady was mature of mind, at the end of the day, she was still just a twenty-year-old girl. That fondness for family she exhibited couldn’t be faked.
"Miss An, Old Commander is just following protocol; don’t bla him. You’ve been in Jinyin City for so long this ti, and the Old Commander probably misses you terribly!"
An Yiqing laughed softly, said goodnight to Zhao Zhenxing, and hung up the phone.
She leaned back slowly in her chair, eyes wide open, gazing at the stars shimring in the night sky. The words Zhao Zhenxing just said still echoed clearly in her ears.
Yes, her grandfather misses her dearly. A few days ago, during a phone call, the old man kept asking when she would return to Xuandu City, leaving her helplessly amused.
Sigh, she missed ho, her grandparents, her parents, and her master. She also missed Xiao Hei, Old Jin, and that girl Yin Xilin. Of course, she still missed that man deeply etched in her bones...
Thinking about all these things, An Yiqing felt a sudden wave of drowsiness, slowly closing her misty eyes, drifting into a sweet dreamland.
At that mont, a shadow flickered by, and a pair of black leather shoes appeared out of nowhere in front of An Yiqing!
A pair of large hands silently reached toward her neck!
