At midnight, Dongyang City No. 1 welcomed a group of important guests.
In addition to the prohibition bureau, the police station and the military were dispatched immediately to investigate all suspicious factors in the city, and then lurked in every hidden corner to quietly monitor every move in the city.
Some of the previously tacitly approved activities have been completely stopped. Violators will be eliminated immediately once discovered, and no mercy will be shown.
In order to prevent accidents, City No. 1 even set up a curfew tonight, closing all supermarkets and entertainment venues, and not allowing anything to appear on the streets after eleven o'clock.
...Except for the street lights.
In the reception room, the two congressmen from City No. 1 had solemn expressions and looked at each other from time to time with incomprehensible expressions.
As the pinnacle of power in the entire Dongyang City, the person who could be received by these two people in person in the middle of the night obviously had a very high status. This could be seen from their slightly nervous eyes at this time.
Not long after, there was a sound of people outside the door, and the two congressmen exchanged glances with each other. A warm smile instantly appeared on their faces, and they greeted everyone who entered the room.
"Everyone, this is our reception room. Let's take a rest for now. If you are hungry, we have prepared something to eat. Many of them are Dongyang City's specialties. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
The leader was also a congressman. He walked at the front and said to the people behind him with a smile, "Everyone has been working hard for so long. You must be hungry. Why don't I ask the kitchen to bring the food up and let's all eat together?
Night snack?"
"No need."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold voice behind him. There were only three words, but there seemed to be an inexplicable surge of blood in the air, making the congressman leading the way shiver inexplicably.
He looked at each other with the other two congressmen, then turned to look at the speaker, his expression a little solemn.
It was a young-looking man with a thin build and long hair that hung casually around his waist. He was wearing a black windbreaker and held a simple scabbard in his arms. There was no sword in the scabbard.
If this look were applied to others, it would probably be regarded as a chuunibyou, but for some reason, it didn't feel out of place at all when applied to this person.
His appearance could only be regarded as average, his face was indifferent, he just stood there quietly, and there seemed to be an evil atmosphere around him, making it difficult for people to get close to him.
There is no sword in the scabbard, but he himself seems to be a fierce sword that is not sheathed.
The three of them knew clearly that this guy's characteristics were so obvious that he must be the director of the Judgment Department of the Council - the S-class practitioner Jian Wugui.
I heard that he killed a group of unscrupulous thugs on the way. The evil spirit on his body has not subsided yet. I don’t know if it was intentional...
No one in the meeting hall expected Jian Wugui to arrive. In fact, if they had not suddenly learned the news that this guy would come, the three of them would not have come to greet him in person at night——
This is a real big shot in the parliament!
Not to mention the countless powerful people in the Judgment Department in charge of his hands, Jian Wugui himself is one of the top combat forces in the world today. The pillar of the parliament, both in terms of power and strength, he is almost at the top of the world.
.
I heard that this guy has been obsessed with swordsmanship since he was a child, and he is quite good at it. Although he looks very young, he is actually in his thirties, but now he still imitates the ancients from time to time and adheres to the so-called chivalrous way.
He kills people but never shows mercy.
It is worth mentioning that the name Jian Wugui was chosen by himself.
The three councilors seemed to be suffocated by Jian Wugui's aura. No one spoke for a long time. After a while, they heard one person say:
"Director Jian...No, Director Wugui...No, is there anything dissatisfied with our arrangements?"
Li Mao was smiling all over his face, but actually he was feeling bitter in his heart. He thought to himself: Why did this guy give himself such a birdy name?
It's not good for him to call him "cheap" sir, or "turtle" sir, for fear of accidentally offending the other party...
Jian Wugui glanced at him: "You can just call me Lord Jian like my subordinates do."
Sir? This is really a chuunibyou...
Li Mao was sweating on his forehead and asked with a forced smile: "So, Master Jian, is there anything dissatisfied with our arrangement?"
"That's not true."
Jian Wugui shook his head, stared at him for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Are you a member of Dongyang City?"
Li Mao had done his homework a long time ago and knew that Jian Wugui always liked people with upright personalities. In order to leave a good impression on the other party, he straightened his back and said without being humble or arrogant: "Yes."
"All three of you?"
"That's right."
Li Mao had a smile on his face, thinking that the other party was surprised by the battle that the three of him personally greeted at night, so he said, "I heard that you are coming tonight, and we have been waiting here very early."
"Three congressmen..." Unexpectedly, Jian Wugui said expressionlessly after hearing this, "Are you worthy?"
The smile on Li Mao's face suddenly froze, and the expressions of the other two people also became unattractive.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Nothing else." Jian Wugui said, "I'm just curious, how can you three ordinary people serve as councilors capable of making decisions on the entire city's affairs?"
Li Mao was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said: "What your Lord said, there is no difference between ordinary people and extraordinary beings..."
"Of course I know that."
Jian Wugui said indifferently, "I have many ordinary people under my command, but they are all capable people. The position of a council member is so important, and naturally it is more important to be occupied by capable people... But as far as I know, you don't seem to have the qualifications
Such ability, right?”
"If I have to talk about ability, it is that the three of you seem to be very rich and have good 'money skills'."
How did this guy know...
After a moment of silence, a councilman surnamed Han laughed sarcastically and swallowed his anger: "Sir, is having money a bad thing? At least under our leadership, everyone in Dongyang City will have enough food and clothing, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
How could Jian Wugui not know the tricks of these guys? Whenever the parliament sends people to investigate, each city district will always make preparations in advance, showing that everyone in the city is living and working in peace and contentment.
In fact, due to problems such as land shortage and overpopulation, many people do not even have a place to live and can only live near restricted areas.
However, he did not come here to pay attention to people's livelihood, and it has to be said that it is a fact that Dongyang City is rich.
There are a number of relatively low-risk restricted areas near Dongyang City, which contain many important materials, just like mines, ready for the Exclusion Bureau to excavate at any time.
Not only that, the Chamber has also spawned a number of industrial projects through the restricted area. Among them, the restricted area exploration program has become extremely popular, forming a complete industrial chain and attracting various places to imitate it.
He said: "It is said that businessmen pursue profit. You may be very good at making money, but letting you decide the fate of a city... in the end, it is still too reluctant."
In his words, Jian Wugui did not hide his contempt for these three people.
This is also one of his greatest characteristics, that is, he speaks his mind.
He looked like this at the parliamentary meeting. He would quarrel with anyone he wanted, but he wouldn't even give Mr. Huang the face, let alone these three guys.
"Okay, okay, Director Sword, you said a little too much."
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, a steady voice sounded, and the speaker was the middle-aged man next to Jian Wugui.
He tried to smooth things over, ignoring the cold eyes from Jian Wugui beside him, and smiled at Li Mao and the others: "Three congressmen, I'm really sorry. Director Jian always tells the truth. He just has this kind of temper. In fact, he just said it unintentionally."
That’s all, I apologize to you on his behalf if I offended you.”
He smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Buwei, a member of parliament."
What does telling the truth mean? This guy clearly agrees with what Jian Wugui said!
Li Mao cursed secretly in his heart. Jian Wugui had already scolded him so much that this guy came out to smooth things over. He was clearly watching a show before, and maybe this was all arranged by Yang!
He was resentful in his heart, but he had to force out a smile and shook hands with the other party.
"Congressman Yang is joking, how dare we call ourselves congressmen in front of you? In fact, Master Jian is right, the three of us guys really have no ability, otherwise we wouldn't be called out to do hard work at night, right?
"
His enthusiasm had obviously decreased a lot, and there was some displeasure in his words.
Someone else might have taken a step back and said something nice at this time, but Jian Wugui was obviously not someone else.
He held the scabbard and nodded seriously: "Well, as long as you understand."
Li Mao's expression froze, and after a long while he said calmly: "It's getting late, and the rooms have been prepared for a few of you upstairs. Everyone, please rest first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
With that said, he walked out the door.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. See you tomorrow."
Yang Buwei watched the three people leave with a smile on his face.
Seeing the three people disappear, the smile on his face disappeared, he closed the door and glanced at a man behind him.
The man closed his eyes for a moment and said, "Report, no cameras or recording equipment were found."
