Base Chief
The outdoor decoration in the inner circle can be described as exquisite and expensive, with white marble lamp posts with intricate patterns, lush green lawns, and precious and delicate flowers of various colors. The style is a casual European garden.
The servant waiting inside the door saw Jiang Miao and bent down to lead her to the door of Villa No. 1.
"Miss Jiang, please come in."
Jiang Miao smiled faintly and walked into the villa - this large Chinese-style garden that seemed simple but was actually elegant and sophisticated everywhere.
Walking along the stone path and through the small garden, Jiang Miao entered the hall of the villa.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chen Anjie with a bruised face and nose standing beside me, crying silently, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"Jiang Miao."
The base commander was probably in his sixties, with an upright stature, a dark face and no beard. He was formerly the commander of the Ancheng Military Region. In such troubled times, military generals should have more say than civilian officials.
"Good evening, Base Commander." Jiang Miao nodded slightly, with a respectful attitude.
Wang Gao's mouth was slightly curved with a kind expression: "Don't be so unfamiliar with me. Your grandfather Jiang Yuanshan is my old squad leader. Just call me Grandpa Wang."
"?" Jiang Miao was a little confused. She only knew that her grandfather had served in the army for a few years, but she didn't know that her grandfather had such connections.
"Grandpa Wang, good evening."
Jiang Miao reacted quickly. With such a relationship, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it under the current circumstances.
But the Chen family father and son next to them looked unhappy.
Chen Dafa was lying on the stretcher, complaining in his heart, no wonder this rascal looked so familiar, it turned out she was Jiang Yuanshan's granddaughter and the heir of the Jiang family. He had seen her several times at business banquets before, but he never thought a lady from a noble family could be so vicious!
Wang Gaoduan sat at the head of the table and said to the Chen family father and son in a reassuring tone, "It was a surprise to meet my old friend's granddaughter today, but don't worry, Mr. Chen. Since you can't wait even one night and want to ask me to judge this case today, I will not be biased because of the orphan girl of an old friend."
Implicitly, he was being blamed for being ignorant. Chen Dafa felt embarrassed, but he had no choice but to shoot now. If he went back in disgrace, not only would that old man Li Zhicheng laugh at him, but his brothers would also find it difficult to obey him.
"Captain, I'm not bullying a little girl. Don't underestimate her because she's so skinny. She's very cruel and ruthless! Look at how she beat my son. He's covered in bruises!"
Chen Anjie raised his cheeks and stretched his neck to let the base commander see clearly.
Seeing this coward doing something stupid, Jiang Miao sneered: "Boss Chen, do you think everyone has a pig brain like you? Do you want to ask the base commander's men to strip Boss Chen's clothes and see if his face is full of scars or if he has any injuries? I don't know that there are people who would hit someone in the face, as if they are afraid that others can't see that they hit him."
The Chen family father and son felt their throats stagnate and were unable to speak after being bet by Jiang Miao.
Chen Dafa was the one who reacted quickly. He struggled to get up, his lips pale. “But you stabbed me in the chest, didn’t you? Don’t try to deny it. You can ask the forensic doctor under the base commander to examine the injury and see if it was your dagger that stabbed me!”
Jiang Miao smiled slightly, "It's just that the tip of the knife pierced the skin and cut off a little flesh the size of a fingernail. Mr. Chen is big, strong and fat. The wound is still one or two centimeters away from the ribs. It's a wound that needs to be considered carefully before it can be diagnosed as a minor injury. Mr. Chen made it sound like it would take your life."
Chen Dafa was so angry that he glared at her: "You!"
"Grandpa Wang, I know there are rules in the base that forbid fighting in the base." Jiang Miao took out the recorder from his pocket, "But I really couldn't bear it at the time that Mr. Chen took advantage of your power and bullied others, so he hurt someone."
The black metal recorder in Jiang Miao's hand attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing this magical weapon, Chen Dafa's face turned even paler. His blood boiled at that time, and he didn't know what he said!
Now it's just like in ancient times, there are no machines to record the past, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of beating my son up and framing Jiang Miao. Isn't it just that there is no surveillance and he can just talk nonsense!
Wang Gao looked at the recorder, then at Chen Dafa's guilty face, and smiled: "Play it for me."
Jiang Miao pressed the switch:
...You have to remember that this is a base, and only the rules set by the base commander are called rules and regulations. You, are you worthy enough?
Bah! You are nothing. I am the one who manages this community. I can make whatever rules I want and do whatever I want. I let you off the hook, but you dare to take advantage of me. Who the hell do you think you are?
You make the rules? I want to ask if the base commander knows you're doing this? Each person gets 100 contribution points, go grab them.
I don’t care if he knows or not! My rules are my rules, just wait, I will take revenge for today! …
Wang Gao frowned fiercely: "Pass? 100 contribution points?"
"That's right. They saw that most of the residents living in the outer circle are wealthy but powerless businessmen, so they took advantage of your power to bully people and make money. Moreover, they took advantage of your power to allow a small security guard to block the owners from entering and leaving. They acted tyrannically in the name of protecting the safety of the owners. Even showing your ID card and property certificate would not allow you to enter the community. You had to have Mr. Chen's pass to enter!"
Chen Dafa was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was defeated by the technological superiors. He couldn't even deny it by being unreasonable!
Wang Gao was born dark-skinned, and now he had a stern face, just like the black-faced devil, which made people feel scared.
"Base Commander... Base Commander, I..." Chen Dafa didn't dare to say anything when he saw the face of the person above him. But that little rascal was still fanning the flames!
"The ID card and property certificate represent the base. Your security guards follow suit and openly disregard the authority given to the certificates by the base, allowing your ridiculous pass to override these certificates."
She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Mr. Chen, what do you want to do?"
"Shut up!" Gao Dafa pushed Jiang Miao even though his heart ached, but when he was angry, he always tended to forget what happened a few hours ago.
Jiang Miao dodged nimbly and left him empty-handed. Chen Anjie, who had been unable to make a sound for a long time, hurried to help them. She stood beside the base commander without saying a word, and looked at the father and son on the ground crying out for justice with the same indifference.
After a few minutes, Wang Gao rubbed his aching forehead and whispered, "Enough!"
The base commander is a tough guy who has been on the battlefield. Despite his age, he is still vigorous and his voice is full and rich, like a bell.
"You, resign your duties as security captain. The safety of the community will now be entirely in the hands of Li Zhicheng."
He is just a security captain? It sounds fancy to ask him to come up with a name.
"Base Captain!" Chen Dafa was filled with hatred in his heart. Being able to manage the community security was not only a matter of extra salary, but he could also have his own team of men at critical moments!
How could he be willing to give up such a lucrative job now!
Wang Gao added: "In that case, you two houses should also be exchanged."
At the beginning, Chen Dafa chose Building 15 on the second circle for his family on the grounds of facilitating patrol dispatch. The house was right in front of the entrance to the inner circle.
With his status, living in the third circle was considered an outstanding contribution to the base. Being able to move into the second circle made him feel proud in front of Li Zhicheng, who was in the same competitive class!
Now, not only does he have to give up this lucrative job, but he also has to give up the house that he is about to renovate. How can he bear it!
Chen Dafa raised his head and was about to say something when he heard Jiang Miao say, "I know Uncle Li. He is a very honest and upright person. He is also working hard to take care of his family during the last days. He would never dare to have any second thoughts."
I see!
It turns out that these two people have known each other for a long time!
Wang Gao glanced at the useless Chen father and son, waved his hand and told them to get out, and kept Jiang Miao to talk to her for a few words. He asked her when the old man left and whether she suffered when he left, and then let her go back.
Jiang Miao walked out of the inner circle. The two men had long disappeared. Instead, she ran into Li Zhicheng waiting at the gate. As soon as he saw her coming out, he said, "Miao Miao, you are so bold! The Chen family father and son have many people under their control. How dare you mess with them?"
Seeing Li Zhicheng's overjoyed yet patient expression, she knew that the Chen family's father and son must have told her about the resignation of the 'Chairman of the Public Security Management Committee' and the replacement of the family house. It seemed that they might have also said something harsh, asking Li Zhicheng and her to wait and see.
She coughed twice and pretended to be very secretive: "Uncle Li, I've already told you that we are now on the same boat. As long as you keep the secret, we will be happy. You will definitely benefit from it in the future."
After saying this, Li Zhicheng quickly glanced around and said hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I got it. Thank you Miaomiao for introducing me to the base commander. You are tired today, so go back and rest."
Before leaving, Jiang Miao deliberately smiled and said, "I'll come and play with Shi Lan when I'm free. Uncle Li won't be unwelcome, right?"
"Of course not, of course not." Li Zhicheng quickly sent the giant Buddha away, breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes and went to the base commander's house to express his determination.
She guessed that Li Zhicheng was a typical fence-sitter and two-faced person. When her grandfather had just died and her second uncle was eyeing him covetously, he tried not to offend either side.
After her parents left, this man was able to get along with both sides, and both her and her second uncle's factions had dealings with each other out of mutual benefit.
How could a person who likes plan B refuse to have an extra way out?
Jiang Miao walked back along the tree-lined path. Before he reached home, he saw a group of little girls surrounding a man with a Taoist bun at the door and asking him to tell their fortune.
Su Heng frowned.
He had come out to look for Jiang Miao and wanted to take a walk with her, but he was surrounded by these girls.
But he followed Jiang Miao's words and could not use magic in front of others, so he had to retreat all the way to the doorstep, but this group of people still didn't give up!
"Make way."
Jiang Miao came outside the crowd and, relying on his great strength, tore them all apart with one hand.
"Ouch! Who is it?"
"What's going on? Who's so rude?"
There were complaints and cries of grief at the gate of the courtyard.
Jiang Miao pushed aside the last one and stood in front of the Immortal Lord, clearing his throat: "If you want to have your fortune told, come and make an appointment in advance. The Taoist priest has one appointment per day, and 20 contribution points for each question."
Su Heng: “?”
All the girls immediately raised their hands: "Me, me! I want a date!"
"The Taoist priest was frightened by you today. Let's start again in three days." After Jiang Miao said this, he pulled the Immortal Lord back and slammed the door shut, isolating the hustle and bustle outside.
Inside the door, Su Heng couldn't believe it: "You..."
Jiang Miao patted Xianjun on the shoulder and said, "Today, I feel that this community is also a small society divided into different classes. We must have our own say so that we can have a foothold in this cannibalistic place and survive better."
She said confidently, "Don't worry, I won't let you make up stories. I have first-hand information."
The information I knew in my previous life can finally be explained away by feudal superstition!
