Chapter 166 Extorting the Boss (Fourth Update)
Madam Gu and the old steward rushed to the Zuo family without delay. After carefully examining the situation with her supernatural abilities, Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing serious, just an overdraft of her supernatural abilities. She should wake up soon."
Although there was no major problem, she still channeled a small amount of healing power into Zuo Shan, and he woke up quickly.
"Why is this happening?" Old Madam Gu had noticed Pan Duole's exhaustion and dishevelment the moment she saw her, and only now that she saw that Pan Duole was awake did she have time to ask the reason.
Pan Duole glanced at Zuo Shan, and seeing her nod, he recounted in detail the previous attack by the grassland wolf pack, only omitting the fact that Mao Li had dug a pit, saying that they had used a natural pit.
On the way back, Zuo Shan had already discussed this matter with Pan Duole, since encountering the wolf pack definitely had to be reported, otherwise the collection points in District 48 would not be safe.
She accepted Xiao Bao's metallic superpower, but she dared not reveal Mao Li's true identity, because there was no special race like the Mechanical Race on Green Algae Star, and she did not want Mao Li to be captured and dissected like a guinea pig.
After hearing about the harrowing experience, Madam Gu couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, Zuo Shan was decisive and courageous, and Pan Duole had just broken through to the second tier and was a fire-attribute girl.
Animals have an innate fear of fire; even for a ferocious mutant beast like the prairie wolf, fire can still have a deterrent effect.
Otherwise, if the remaining five wolves were fearless and attacked them as a group, neither of the two girls would survive.
After learning the whole story, Madam Gu's face showed anger, and she immediately raised her wristwatch and dialed a number.
The other party answered with a respectful tone: "Madam Gu, hello! Is something important happening that you're calling me so late?"
"Are all those patrol teams you keep doing nothing? Do they even know that a second-tier mutated grassland wolf pack appeared at the collection point on the 21st?"
"If they accidentally wander into the residential area, I wonder how you, the head of District 48, will explain yourself to your superiors!" Old Madam Gu said coldly.
"Such a thing happened? I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not managing my subordinates well, which made them slack off and this happened."
"I'll have them take men and rush over to encircle and suppress them tonight, and I guarantee that the safety of the residents of District 48 will not be threatened." District Chief Pan Feng of District 48 apologized with extreme humility.
"It has already threatened the safety of the residents! Today, one of my friends took his child to enjoy the scenery and happened to encounter eight wolves on the grassland."
In the end, she and her bodyguards fought desperately to kill the wolf king and the two strongest male wolves in the pack, scaring away the remaining five wolves. They exhausted their supernatural powers to save their lives.
They encountered great danger on this trip, but they also discovered and eliminated a security threat in our District 48. Tell me, how should this be handled?
Madam Gu's words were half true and half false, and the person opposite her was sweating profusely.
Each district's management will sign long-term contracts with one or more mercenary groups to periodically eliminate mutated beasts at collection points, paying them a certain fee.
At the time, someone recommended the Flying Tiger Mercenary Group, but he chose the Fearless Mercenary Group instead. The reason was simple: the vice-leader of the Fearless Mercenary Group was his wife's distant cousin, Kang Zhenghao. That guy was quite capable and knew how to curry favor with his brother-in-law.
As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." It's just a matter of paying someone to do the job, as long as they can get things done. But who knew that his brother-in-law, who was practically unrelated to him, would be so unreliable?
He couldn't afford to offend this old lady Gu, or more precisely, he couldn't afford to offend the entire management and mercenaries of District 48.
After all, no one can be sure that they or their loved ones won't get hurt. Her healing skills are the strongest outside of District 40, and there are few who can surpass her even within District 40.
Moreover, within his own jurisdiction, a pack of second-tier mutated grassland wolves attacked the residents of the area. While the mercenaries responsible for patrolling were certainly responsible for negligence, he, as the district chief, was also culpable.
Fortunately, it was a friend of Old Madam Gu who discovered this. If it had been one of those people who were eyeing his position, and they had reported it to their superiors and added fuel to the fire by talking about his brother-in-law, his job as district head would have been over.
So even though he was scolded by Madam Gu, he was still grateful, since Madam Gu wouldn't badmouth him or scheme against him; she would only urge him to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, District Chief Pan hurriedly said, "We are so grateful to your friends for discovering this oversight in time. Our management has decided to reward and compensate them for their heroic actions."
How about rewarding them with 5,000 points and 1 million silver coins?
"It's barely enough. If it's convenient, I'd also like to trouble District Chief Pan to grant her access to the Ninth Forum as well."
Next time she encounters this situation, it will be easier for her to seek help from the patrol team in time, so as to prevent those who slip through the net from having a chance to escape.
"Does District Chief Pan think what I said makes sense?" Old Madam Gu asked calmly.
"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, Madam. Please just call me Xiao Pan; it'll sound more natural that way," Pan Feng said with a forced smile, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Xiao Pan." Old Madam Gu hung up the call and casually sent Zuo Shan's contact number to him.
