Chapter 106: Flattery

"Grandma," Xiao Ruo frowned and said, "This is against the rules. Besides, Hua Nu has her own family. What are you going to do with her family?"

"Lord City Lord," Hua Nu said with tears in her eyes, "In fact, my family was mauled to death by zombies a long time ago. I have been struggling to survive alone outside all this time. If you want to drive me away, Hua Nu will not say a word, but I can't bear to see Old Madam Xiao all alone. I can't bear to leave her and want to stay by her side, even if it means fulfilling my filial duty for you and Miss Xiao."

"Hua Nu, you silly child, why are you crying? I am here, no one dares to touch you." Old Madam Xiao took Hua Nu's hand and comforted her kindly.

Xiao Xun and Xiao Ruo both raised their eyebrows and looked over, then they looked at each other and instantly understood what the other meant.

Grandma is really old! She is no longer the powerful Madam Xiao!

She actually dared to believe someone as eloquent as Huanu!

After dinner, it was already dark.

It was inconvenient to go out because it was dark, so Xiao Xun rested at Xiao Ruo's place.

I had originally planned to return to the beach the next day, but unexpectedly, I received news from the main city that representatives from the major families had held a meeting to discuss whether the Holy City's assistance to outsiders was justified and whether this behavior should be stopped immediately.

According to the laws of the Holy City, the citizens of the Holy City are the ones that the City Lord should be responsible for. However, Xiao Xun used his privileges as the City Lord to privately use the resources of the Holy City to rescue people outside the Holy City.

This behavior violated the laws of the Holy City, and the city lord Xiao Xun had seriously neglected his duties!

Xiao Xun had no choice but to take a helicopter to the main urban area of ​​the Holy City to attend a meeting criticizing him as the city lord!

In the main urban area, inside the conference hall.

Xiao Xun sat expressionlessly in the main seat, listening to the representatives of the major families arguing non-stop...

The solemn conference hall has turned into a noisy vegetable market.

At this time, Wang Lun sneaked in. He walked quickly to Xiao Xun's side and whispered in his ear, "There's news about that woman. Wu Xuan is leading his men to close in on her."

Xiao Xun sat up straight, looked at everyone and shouted, "Enough!"

The conference hall suddenly became quiet, and the representatives who had stood up to argue took their seats one after another, not forgetting to adjust their demeanor.

Everyone looked at Xiao Xun, waiting for an explanation from the city lord.

"I didn't come back to listen to your nagging!" Xiao Xun said, "Supplying water to the refugees was my decision alone, and I believe there's nothing wrong with it. If you think there's a problem, I suggest you try going without water for a few days before questioning my decision!"

After Xiao Xun finished speaking, he pushed his chair away, stood up, and strode out of the conference room.

The representatives left in the conference hall were silent.

After Xiao Xun left the conference room, he walked directly to the helipad: "What exactly is going on?"

Wang Lun said, "Our men have apprehended a group of suspects. After interrogation, we've confirmed that they are the refugees who recently engaged in transactions with that young lady. They also agreed to exchange items today at a dilapidated house on the edge of the city."

"Our people have already taken the refugees to the agreed location and are waiting for the young lady to show up."

As they were talking, Xiao Xun and Wang Lun boarded the helicopter, which gradually took off and flew out of the holy city.
