Chapter 91: Straight Man of Steel
Force fluctuations rippled throughout the room. This was not the time to hide one's strength, so Xiao Chen had no reservations.
Yao Na was sitting next to Xiao Chen, having difficulty breathing. Seeing this, Xu Zhaohua gently waved his hand to help her block the violent fluctuations in the force.
However, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Chen.
This fluctuation is no longer fake, they can all tell, and what Xiao Chen said about the intensity of this force fluctuation is probably true.
Liu Zimo and Ye Ran looked at each other, put down their chopsticks, and saw the depression in each other's eyes.
Those who can be selected into the Night Criminal Division are all geniuses among geniuses. When they were students, they were also the absolute best in their respective cities. However, even they have not reached Xiao Chen's current level at the first-level mid-level stage.
"Why does this food suddenly lose its flavor?"
Liu Zimo sighed.
"I'm afraid that in a few years, you will be reduced to cleaning the house again."
Ye Ranying said with a smile while holding her chopsticks in her mouth.
Mo Jinglan didn't speak anymore. Xu Zhaohua understood that Mo Jinglan had never thought about letting Xiao Chen actually take the assessment before, but now the potential shown by Xiao Chen made her hesitate.
Just imagine, if Xiao Chen reaches level 3, level 4, or even higher, not to mention his high-risk sequence awakening talent of undead attractor, just because of his super high force power, he can be used as a sharp blade in the team.
Halfway through the meal, Liu Zimo and Ye Ran suggested trying local beer, but Mo Jinglan left the private room without saying a word.
Xu Zhaohua saw this and followed him out.
It was already autumn, the night breeze in Jiangcheng was blowing on my face, and my body felt slightly chilly. Mo Jinglan was leaning against the column of the hotel, one foot on the cold marble, her long snow-white legs flickering under her skirt, her right index finger
There was a cigarette between his and his middle finger.
She was smoking the kind of rough cigarette that only rough men smoke. Xu Zhaohua walked over and took off the cigarette naturally.
"Smoking less, it's not good for your health."
Mo Jinglan said calmly.
"You are the only one who has many things to do."
The cigarette butt was stamped out by Xu Zhaohua. Looking at his concerned eyes, Mo Jinglan snorted coldly.
"You win again, laugh if you want."
Xu Zhaohua smiled slightly and leaned against him on the other side of the marble column, but his posture was more upright.
"Lanlan, you know I don't mean this."
Although Xu Zhaohua is a handsome guy who turns heads when he goes out, he is still several years older than Mo Jinglan after he is over thirty, and he is the only one who would call Mo Jinglan that way.
"Of course you don't mean this. When Xiao Chen's force was activated just now, although you hid it very well, I noticed the surprise in your eyes. Don't try to hide it from me."
"This shows that you didn't expect him to progress so quickly before."
Xu Zhaohua smiled helplessly and explained softly.
"How can I hide it? It's a surprise."
Not only was Xiao Chen's breakthrough surprising, but also Mo Jinglan's attitude. She was willing to say this instead of refusing directly, which showed that she was willing to let Xiao Chen compete.
Of course, Xu Zhaohua knew very well that she was not only interested in Xiao Chen's potential in cultivation, she also remembered the entire incident.
Mo Jinglan suddenly thought of the monitor showing Xiao Chen's hands stained with blood and his eyes filled with murderous intent, and she frowned slightly.
"Isn't this kid a bit too dark?"
Xu Zhaohua knew what she was referring to. Whether it was planning to kill Yao Tiefeng, causing an internal fight between Li Zichen and him, or just committing a violent murder in the prison, for members of the Night Punishment Division, being decisive and ruthless was not only enough, but also a bit more.
Already.
"This kid."
Xu Zhaohua suddenly thought of the first time he went to Xiao Chen's house and saw him and Mu Xiaowan ecstatic about moving to have a reunion dinner. He also recalled the information he had investigated before and said softly.
"In the slums, a man who dragged a little girl as a teenager and survived until today, can you expect him to be soft-hearted?"
Mo Jinglan also thought of the resume he saw before and stopped talking.
Xu Zhaohua also thinks this is not a big problem.
"It will get better if he joins the team in the future. He just didn't have anyone he could trust before."
Mo Jinglan said nothing more, put away his legs, walked towards the parking lot, and left a word.
"I hate reforming little brats. If you are willing to do it, you can do it. Don't count me out. Also, don't keep your mouth shut and join the team. Whether he can pass the assessment depends on his ability. He is still not good enough now.
It’s far away.”
Mo Jinglan gradually walked away, and a smile appeared on Xu Zhaohua's face. He understood Mo Jinglan. Although she said this, the satisfaction for Xiao Chen in her tone could not be hidden.
............................
The meal was eaten quickly. Liu Zimo, Ye Ran, and Xu Zhaohua gathered together and chatted about something. Yao Na also drank some wine and was sitting on a bench next to the fountain outside the hotel, looking at the rising and falling water columns in trance.
Her short hair was a little messy, and her delicate and fair skin could not withstand the torture of a day of mental stress and was stained with a lot of dust.
Xiao Chen looked at her and suddenly felt a little sad.
In his memory, Yao Na always looked like a big sister, protecting him, and seemed to always be optimistic and domineering. But today, first she learned that her father was actually an enemy, and then she almost killed her "adopted father", and then
Being coerced by Zhou Zhengyu, someone else would probably have a mental breakdown.
Xiao Chen walked over and sat next to her. The two of them looked at the fountain without saying a word.
A faint fragrance hit her nostrils. It was not a perfume, but Yao Na's own body fragrance. Her head rested on Xiao Chen's shoulder.
"So tired."
Yao Na said, lowering her head to hide her red eyes.
She suddenly felt so useless. She used to never cry.
But today... Yao Tiefeng died, Wu Zheng was seriously injured and was released and brought to the hospital ward for treatment. But she had no home and had not applied for the War College in the first place. Yao Na naturally felt at a loss.
The world is so big, where should she go?
Leaning on Xiao Chen's shoulder, Yao Na noticed the sudden stiffness of Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen didn't know what to say. He never comforted others. He just sat like this and adjusted his posture to make Yao Na more comfortable.
What should I do now? As shown on TV, should I hug you?
In this regard, Xiao Chen considered himself an idiot. His right shoulder could not move, so he stretched out his left hand to hug Yao Na and give her more comfort.
However, if half of his body is still and he wants to hug someone, his hands must be at least one and a half meters long...
Therefore, he tried for a long time, with a very strange posture, but he felt a light on his shoulder, and Yao Na had already moved away, looking at him in confusion.
"What are you doing?"
Well……
Xiao Chen didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say.
"I stretched Lajin to relax my muscles and activate my blood circulation. I fought too much today."
Yao Na looked at him suspiciously and said suddenly.
"You don't want to hug me, do you?"
When she asked this question, Xiao Chen's blood suddenly surged and he was embarrassed.
"I treat you as a brother, but you actually want to date me, stay away!"
Yao Na sat a little further away in disgust, Xiao Chen would deal with it this time, and said righteously and sternly.
"Absolutely not. I swear to God, I just want to comfort you. I have absolutely no other thoughts."
The corner of Yao Na's mouth twitched, she really wanted to shave Xiao Chen's big ears.
