Mayor Zhao hadn't slept all night and was anxiously awaiting the results, constantly observing the outside world, unsure of the situation.
He looked at one of the people in the office.
This man was also a feng shui master. He held a compass in his hand, and the needle on the compass was swinging back and forth.
"How is it going? Have there been any changes inside or outside the city?" Mayor Zhao asked again.
"Although the distance is far, judging from the compass readings, the yin energy has decreased significantly, and the change is quite substantial."
"So, Jiu Maomao and the others are making good progress?"
"It should be..."
The feng shui master couldn't believe it either, because he really couldn't understand how they could have cleaned up all the yin energy and ghosts in such a large area of H City in just one night.
Impossible!
If Jiu Maomao and his group are really that powerful, then wouldn't their jobs as feng shui masters be in jeopardy?
He thought to himself, it's already dawn, so it's normal for the compass to be inaccurate. Jiu Maomao and the others boasted that they could settle this matter in one night, but that's definitely not going to work!
He appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"Please come in!" Mayor Zhao said immediately.
The door opened.
Jiu Maomao walked in, along with Mu Jin, Ye Mingshi, and Li Zhongcheng.
As soon as Li Zhongcheng entered, he looked at his former colleagues.
His colleague gave him a disdainful look and said, "You can't handle this. In the end, you'll still have to rely on me."
Li Zhongcheng also gave him a disdainful look, "Ignorance is truly terrifying."
He's not the same person he used to be; now he's the one who needs the door!
His colleague glared at him.
Mayor Zhao couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Jiu, how is the matter progressing?"
Jiu Maomao said casually, "It's all taken care of, Mayor Zhao. Everything is as before."
Mayor Zhao was taken aback.
After he came to his senses, he was overjoyed and wanted to shake hands with the cat.
As his hand reached out, Mu Jin suddenly took Maomao's place, giving it a perfunctory squeeze before pulling away.
Mayor Zhao noticed this detail, and he immediately realized that the second young master of the Mu family probably had a special relationship with Jiu Maomao.
Mayor Zhao, being a shrewd old fox, acted as if this little incident hadn't happened, and cheerfully took out the reward he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Maomao.
"Haha, this is the pre-determined reward: three million, plus a certificate of honor. Miss Jiu, please accept it."
Three million is neither a lot nor a small amount, but the certificate of honor is something else entirely; it's a symbol of status.
The feng shui master panicked as soon as he saw it!
If this certificate of honor were displayed in his office, it would be a golden brand! He came here specifically for this certificate!
"Mayor Zhao! Isn't this a bit hasty? We still don't know if H City's predicament has been resolved!"
Mayor Zhao: "Didn't Miss Jiu just say that it was resolved?"
"You just believe her? What if it's still like the other day after nightfall?"
Mayor Zhao hesitated for a moment. He was just an ordinary person and couldn't see those mysterious things. What if the problem wasn't solved?
Li Zhongcheng couldn't stand it anymore. "Mayor Zhao, the matter has been resolved. How can you listen to this person's nonsense? The situation in H City was already reversed last night. He can't even see that, which shows that his level is as low as it can get."
"Miss Jiu rescued the people trapped in the hotel, and she also subdued the ghost in Room H. As for the hotel that was burning down and affecting the city's environment, Miss Jiu has already arranged for it to be demolished today. We'll know whether it's effective or not tonight."
His colleague glared at Li Zhongcheng angrily, "You, you're the one who's low-class!"
Mayor Zhao said unhappily, "Stop arguing."
Cat looked at the prize and chuckled, "Mayor Zhao, even if you don't come to me or give me any award, I still have to do what I'm supposed to do."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.
Ye Mingshi was also surprised.
However, Maomao continued, "My father taught me from a young age to have the world in mind. Since H City is in trouble, and I have the ability, I should naturally step forward. It's not for money, nor for honor, but for the safety of the people of H City."
"As long as everyone can live and work normally, everything I've done is worthwhile. As for... if someone questions me, so what? I have a clear conscience."
"So, Mayor Zhao, the reason I came here today is to put your mind at ease. Alright, I should go now."
Mu Jin covered her lips with her hand, pretending not to be moved.
Ye Mingshi's expression was distorted, as if she wanted to laugh but dared not, her face turning red from holding it in.
Li Zhongcheng also had a strange expression. Based on what he had learned about the sect leader over the past two days, the sect leader didn't seem like the glorious and great figure he was supposed to be... These words had even moved him...
Mayor Zhao was even more moved!
He suddenly picked up the bright red three million yuan prize card and the certificate of honor, and slammed them heavily in front of the cat!
"Miss Jiu possesses such noble sentiments! And such a warm heart for the country and its people! As the mayor, I feel deeply ashamed! How could I possibly question you?"
"Please accept this prize. It may be insignificant, but it represents the gratitude of all the citizens of H City!"
The cat hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'd better not. Some people think I'm not good enough for them."
Mayor Zhao immediately gave the feng shui master a stern look. "I am the mayor, and I say it's auspicious, so it is! Miss Jiu, please accept it! In the future, if there are any similar incidents, I will ask Miss Jiu to come out of retirement again."
