"Director Xiao, Minister Zhou." The elevator door opened, and a middle-aged man with a serene demeanor, about forty years old and presumably at the Foundation Establishment stage, dressed like a Taoist priest, stood at the entrance. Upon taking in the two people inside, he couldn't help but beam with joy. "I'm truly ashamed to interrupt your annual meeting."
"Master Luo, you are too polite." Zhou Yanzhi said.
"Hello, Taoist Priest." Xiao Yu clasped his fists.
Taoist Master Luo quickly responded with Taoist etiquette: "In this matter, it was our own fault. We originally wanted to take control of everything and then have you, Director Xiao, clean up the mess. Who could have imagined there was so much going on behind the scenes?"
"Go up first." Zhou Yanzhi reminded.
"Right, right, right. Let's talk as we walk. By the way, this time, in addition to us, the Southeast Military Region has also sent people to assist us. Their mission is to arrest all criminals who capture and sell our country's precious animals."
“…”
…
The elevator didn't go directly to the rooftop. To get there, one had to go up one level and pass through an electronic door that required a card. The door had already been opened, and someone with a gun was standing guard at the door.
Standing guard with guns were several heavily armed men in camouflage uniforms. Besides them, there were five young Taoist priests in their twenties or thirties wearing Taoist robes, and three middle-aged men in coats or Tang suits.
Xiao Yu sensed the surging blood and energy from these three middle-aged men, who were three warriors.
"This is Director Xiao." Taoist Master Luo, several Taoist priests, and the middle-aged man explained and quickly introduced Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu discovered that the five Taoist priests were not from the same Taoist temple or the same faction.
The three middle-aged men also came from the three major ancient martial arts families in the southeast region.
"There are still a few fellow Taoists, Buddhist colleagues, and warriors from aristocratic families watching over there and have not come over." Taoist Master Luo said finally.
Xiao Yu nodded and clasped his fists towards them: "Hello."
"Haha, Director Xiao, there's no need to be so reserved. In terms of combat prowess, you're our senior. Your name is now known like thunder among us. It's a blessing for Zhao and the others to be able to work with Director Xiao." A warrior named Zhao laughed heartily. "By the way, Zhao Hanlin is my cousin. I heard you two know each other well..."
Zhou Yanzhi glanced over calmly: "Zhao Guoxue."
"..." The man who was full of enthusiasm a second ago suddenly shrank his neck like a primary school student who was caught in the act.
The other Taoist priests and warriors quickly lowered their heads and laughed: "Knowing that this is the Great Demon King's house, Zhao Guoxue is such a fool and still wants to provoke him. How foolish and bold!"
…
Xiao Yu and his party came to the hotel rooftop helipad, where three military helicopters had already been parked.
Xiao Yu "saw" Hong Hai under one of the helicopters, among a row of more than a dozen fully armed personnel.
Xiao Yu: So Hong Hai is not retired, but in casual clothes?
Hong Hai was fully armed, his head and face covered. If it weren't for Xiao Yu's powerful spiritual sense, it would have been difficult to discover his identity. In comparison, Xiao Yu's face was too eye-catching and too recognizable.
Hong Hai noticed him almost as soon as he appeared.
What shocked him even more was that his former weakling, quiet, and classmate from the same village who didn't like to play with a group of boys and hid at home every day, and was said to be a very well-behaved boy at home, had suddenly transformed into a person who was treated with such respect by a group of Xuanmen people and ancient martial artists?
Isn’t Xiao Yu studying in college?
When did college students become so awesome?
And just now, if Feng Da wasn't hallucinating, those people seemed to call Xiao Yu Director Xiao?
Director? Was that the word he came up with?
What kind of director of a bureau could be treated like this by these masters of the Xuanmen sect and ancient martial arts who always look down on others?
…
Although Xiao Yu and his group had the same goal as Hong Hai and his group, their actions were different, so they also took separate helicopters.
Xiao Yu and others' helicopter flew away, and Hong Hai and others quickly boarded the plane.
After they sat down, a female soldier among the fully armed soldiers touched Hong Hai and asked, "Who is that man? Do you know him?"
Hong Hai looked at the woman next to him: "My classmate."
"Classmate? Aren't you just a junior high school student?"
"Can't junior high school students have classmates? And sorry, that person is my elementary school classmate." Hong Hai grinned.
He wasn't originally assigned to this mission. It was his uncle, using his grandfather's connections, who arranged for him to join the team. His uncle said the mission was dangerous, but if he returned alive, he could use his achievements to continue his studies and improve himself, and keep everything he had. If he didn't want to continue serving in the military, even if he transferred to a local government position, he could still work in an administrative unit.
Otherwise, even if he is a good candidate for the military, he will be gradually squeezed out given the current general improvement in cultural level.
For example, right now, he never held anyone back in every action, but because a certain action required someone above high school, the woman next to him found out that he was a junior high school student. From then on, this woman, who also only had a high school education, looked down on him in various ways, always using sarcastic language when talking to him.
Hong Hai is actually a rough guy with a free and easy personality, but sometimes, when he encounters too many things, he can't help but be exhausted and forced to grow up.
"I heard you're from a mountain village. How could someone like that come from your shabby place?"
Hong Hai was too lazy to talk to her, so he closed his eyes and leaned back.
This action made the female soldier beside him so angry that her chest heaved, but she had no way to vent. This operation was important, but it also came with danger, and it might be a life-or-death situation.
Those who can enter this group are either the top or the top with backgrounds.
