Chapter 31: Da Jiang City’s New Person In Charge
Bang~!
The cue ball was struck by the cue and flew, colliding with the object balls.
The object balls collided back and forth on the billiards table, nearly going into the pockets several times, but ultimately missing each one.
“President, it seems your technology still needs practice.” Yu Lin looked at the mostly remaining two-color balls and his own single remaining Black Eight, revealing a smile.
Lin Qian put down the cue, glanced at the position of the Black Eight, “No need, you won.”
Then he looked at the flustered Chu He, “What’s the matter?”
Chu He, who had just come in and was originally very anxious, froze in place upon seeing the president actually playing billiards with a member, her eyes full of incredulity.
Hearing the president’s question, she finally came back to her senses.
“President, the situation isn’t good. The new person in charge of Da Jiang City has arrived. This is his file.”
Lin Qian was stunned upon hearing this, his gaze falling on the file handed over by Chu He.
“How did you get the International Police’s file?”
Lin Qian was truly very curious about this point.
The International Police files at headquarters weren’t some secret at headquarters, but outside headquarters, they were classified.
If an ordinary person wanted to obtain them, sure, you were undoubtedly stealing national secrets.
It could get people killed.
“It was sent to me by the secretary from Little Strong Club.” Chu He hurriedly explained.
That was fine then.
Hearing that the file came from Little Strong Club, Lin Qian immediately stopped caring.
Little Strong Club could fabricate anything freely; even if they released Cao Yanhua’s file, nothing would happen.
Lin Qian took the file and flipped through it, “You said the situation isn’t good, what does that mean?”
“What does this new person in charge of Da Jiang City plan to do?”
Lin Qian examined the file, which wasn’t very detailed, only recording some basic information.
Headquarters International Police: Li Yong
Code name: Guardian of the Lamp
Handled supernatural events: Three C-grade, two B-grade, assisted in handling one A-grade supernatural event.
Ability assessment: Can excellently handle normal B-grade supernatural events.
……
“President, the new person in charge plans to fully take over all resources in Da Jiang City, and he specifically named you to meet him, saying he has a good position for you.” Chu He hesitated a bit but still said what she knew.
“Right, he also said that if you don’t go, that’s looking down on him, and since you’re looking down on him, then our Black Eight Club has no need to exist.”
“He also said that he is now the person in charge of Da Jiang City, what he says goes.”
Lin Qian: ……
Yu Lin: ???
Lin Qian closed the file, thinking to himself, where did this brave guy come from?
From the file, the other party had only controlled one ghost, and it didn’t seem to have a high terror level.
Although he had handled quite a few supernatural events, it still wasn’t quite enough to jump in front of him.
No matter how much fierce ghost revival the International Police had, they wouldn’t have revived their brains completely broken, right?
Pusher?
Or headquarters’ test?
No, headquarters would test, but they absolutely wouldn’t send this idiot to offend me.
Lin Qian’s eyes flickered slightly; this person named Li Yong was either truly stupid or instigated by someone.
Lin Qian used elimination; currently, only three forces were paying attention to him.
Little Strong Club, that is, Wang Xiao Ming.
Headquarters.
Circle of Friends.
Little Strong Club wouldn’t be that stupid; he had just reached a transaction with them.
Headquarters, although Lin Qian hadn’t contacted headquarters, from the original work, in the early stage, headquarters wouldn’t be so reckless without offending them.
At least, not without contacting him first.
That left only one.
Circle of Friends……
Lin Qian pondered thoughtfully; if it was Circle of Friends, that made sense.
Circle of Friends’ view of ghost controllers had always been: those who follow me live, those who oppose me die.
A group of ghost controllers whose brains were eroded badly by the supernatural; whenever dissatisfied, the first thing they thought of was to take out the other party.
But this didn’t fit Circle of Friends’ situation either.
Their fierce ghost revival was severe, but Fang Shiming at least still had a working brain, although he lost a fight with someone, leading to early fierce ghost revival.
But he had suppressed the fierce ghost revival.
According to Circle of Friends’ current methods, they would definitely send someone to win him over first.
Lin Qian thought this way, but the more he thought, the more something felt off; the ghost controller who came to deliver the ghost before seemed to be called Jiang Liuli, also from Circle of Friends.
Circle of Friends had just sent someone to show goodwill, and now sent someone to offend him?
What kind of brain could come up with this immortal operation?
Lin Qian realized none of the three forces fit.
Then…… could it just be that this ghost controller is purely an idiot?
Lin Qian was silenced by his own guess.
And it wasn’t impossible.
“President…… we, should we go meet him?”
“After all, he is the officially dispatched person in charge of Da Jiang City.”
“If we clash with him, it’s equivalent to clashing with headquarters.”
Chu He asked tactfully.
Lin Qian shook his head, “Who cares about him; I want to see if he has the ability to make our Black Eight Club not exist.”
He tossed the file to Chu He, “No need to pay attention; let him come.”
“Ah? Then, those shareholders……”
Lin Qian glanced sideways at Chu He, “Just ask them whether he, as Da Jiang City’s person in charge, can mobilize more ghost controllers, or if I, as a civilian club president, can mobilize more ghost controllers.”
Hearing this, Chu He understood and immediately knew what to do.
“I got it, President. I’ll notify them right away.”
Lin Qian didn’t speak, glanced at the billiards table with most of the balls still there, and sighed inwardly; he really wasn’t suited for billiards.
This thing really relied on technology.
“President, not playing anymore?” Seeing Lin Qian about to go upstairs, Yu Lin scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
“Next time. Don’t idle around when you’re free; go stroll the streets, inquire about news from subordinates, see if there are any civilian ghost controllers, and recruit them if there are.”
“A club with only four ghost controllers looks too sparse no matter how you see it.” After Lin Qian finished speaking, he went straight upstairs.
Yu Lin’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, “Got it, President!”
Then, he picked up the key and left the villa directly under Chu He’s bewildered gaze.
Wait, wasn’t it just to go stroll and see if he could recruit newcomers?
Was there need to be that excited?
Could it be because the president previously proposed a ten million introduction fee for recruiting one newcomer?
But he didn’t lack money either?
Chu He was a bit confused.
Whatever, no point guessing; Chu He shook her head and turned to leave.
Lin Qian returned to the office, sat in the chair, eyes flickering, “Li Yong, code name: Guardian of the Lamp.”
“Is this person truly stupid or faking it?”
In Da Jiang City, inside a temporarily requisitioned mansion.
A young man with a haggard expression but sharp eyes gazed at the endless flow of the city outside the window.
“Will he come, or not?”
The young man’s eyes narrowed slightly; he, emanating a burnt smell all over, gave an extremely unsettling feeling.
