Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 267 General District Attitude

"Isn't gossiping what you love most?"

The district chief's smile was a bit playful: "Wasn't it you who first spread the rumor that Wen Xiuyuan had sold me his ass?"

Bai Peng was dumbfounded.

The district chief did not give him too much trouble about the rumors.

"Who is the captain of the regional guard?"

Seeing that the district chief didn't pursue his rumor-mongering, Bai Peng immediately sat up straight and replied seriously, "It seems his name is He Cheng."

"He Cheng..."

The district chief thought for a moment and asked, "What background?"

"I'll have to check."

Bai Peng said seriously.

"OK."

The district chief nodded and said, "After checking thoroughly, if his background is clean, let him lead the troops into the district. After stabilizing the situation, he will return to the district to be awarded the medal."

Bai Peng blinked a few times.

The district chief raised an eyebrow: "Is there a problem?"

"Old Wen's side..."

Bai Peng hesitated for a long time.

"Didn't you just say that? If what he says doesn't suit my taste, I'll treat him like a bullshit."

The District Chief chuckled and said, "He recognizes him as his son-in-law, but he hasn't yet recognized him as his father-in-law! This relationship... isn't stable enough!"

"Wen Xiuyuan is a very clear thinker! He must have already thought about the outcome of this matter."

"So, if he really likes this son-in-law, he will definitely tell him in advance what the attitude of the headquarters will be."

"Only when you truly become Wen Xiuyuan's son-in-law will I feel more at ease."

"But so many days have passed, and Wen Xiuyuan hasn't come to me to talk about this matter. This means that the child...didn't agree."

"In that case, there's no need to treat him as Wen Xiuyuan's son-in-law."
