Chapter 129 Deputy City Lord Xiao
Chapter 129 Deputy City Lord Xiao
"Lin Luo? Something's wrong with you."
After buying some things and ordering a lot of goods, Lin Luo and Su Junjie walked out of the grocery store.
Lin Luo looked at the sky and was considering whether to go to Xiao's house now or go to the next store. Su Junjie pulled his sleeve with a serious look.
"What's wrong?" Lin Luo asked.
"Why did you just tell the boss that we will leave in three days? You haven't set a departure time yet, right?"
"Or are you discussing something behind my back?"
Thinking of this possibility, Su Junjie's face immediately turned ugly.
"No, you are with me every day, how can I have time to discuss something behind your back?" Lin Luo immediately shook his head.
"What's wrong with this? I went to cook for the principal. Didn't you notice it too?" Su Junjie looked at him distrustfully.
"Yes, when did you go to find the principal?" Lin Luo then realized that this guy was following him around every day. When did he go to find the principal?
"Don't change the subject. First tell me why you told the boss that we will leave in three days."
Lin Luo saw that not only did he not react, but he also looked at her with an aggrieved look, so he couldn't help but imitate Su's father and hit him on the head.
“Of course I’ll put some bait out and see what fish I can catch.”
Su Junjie held his head that hurt from the knock. He was about to get angry. When he heard what Lin Luo said clearly, his eyes rolled as if he thought of something.
"You mean, you deliberately told the boss that we would leave in three days, just to see if he would reveal our whereabouts to Zhang Fang, right?"
"You guys, when did you do this again?"
Lin Luo looked at his suddenly enlightened look and wanted to tell him: "Not only can I do it, but so can your father, and I guess you are the only one who can't do it."
After delaying for a while, Lin Luo decided to go to Xiao's house first. After all, Deputy City Master Xiao was considered an elder. He called everyone to eat, so it was better not to go too late.
"Since you've delayed us like this, let's go to Xiao's house first."
"Then where did you originally want to go?" Seeing Lin Luo walking forward, Su Junjie hurriedly chased after him.
"I still have to go to several places, including pharmacies, auction houses, and the tailor shop you introduce to me every day."
"They didn't betray us."
"How do you know Zhang Fang only did something in the grocery store last time?"
"That's right, then let's all go shopping."
"It's just that the money my dad gave me is just that much. You can't buy random things like you did just now."
The two of them exchanged words with each other and soon arrived at the door of Xiao's house.
The Xiao family lives next to the City Lord's Mansion. Because the City Lord of Jincheng is not in the city all year round, the Xiao family can be regarded as the actual city lords of Jincheng, so the mansion of his family is not inferior to the City Lord's Mansion next to it.
After Lin Luo and the others walked into the Xiao's house, they saw Wang Zhiyu hesitating at the door.
"Why don't you go in?" After Su Junjie saw an acquaintance, he immediately greeted him happily.
After Wang Zhiyu heard his voice, she hurriedly turned around and looked at Lin Luo and the others walking over, with expressions of being saved on their faces.
"It's great that you're here."
"What? You don't dare to knock on the door."
I don’t know how Su Junjie developed such a temper.
He strutted to the door, stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell.
It was obviously the first time he came to someone else's house, and he was the nominal leader of Jincheng, but he felt as natural and familiar as if he had been here countless times.
After ringing the doorbell, Xiao Yutang's voice came out.
"Is Lin Luo here?" Her voice sounded very happy.
"It's you, Brother Su, here." Su Junjie replied while winking at Lin Luo.
"I'll open the door for you right away."
After Xiao Yutang finished speaking, the door clicked and opened from the inside.
Looking in from the door, there is a green lawn and a path paved with small stones leading to steps made of white jade.
On the steps, Xiao Yutang's figure was flying towards him.
"You are all here." She was a little surprised when she saw Wang Zhiyu's figure, thinking that the three of them came together.
"Miss Xiao will come to greet us in person?" Su Junjie teased with a smile.
"Come in, my dad is waiting for you."
"Sister Fang Na has arrived a long time ago. If you don't come, she will go find you." Xiao Yutang ignored Su Junjie. Her eyes seemed to have their own consciousness, looking past Su Junjie standing in front of her. Not surprisingly, Stopped on Lin Luo's face.
"Sorry, I'm a little late." Lin Luo nodded slightly at her.
Under the leadership of Xiao Yutang, the three of them walked through the hall and arrived at the door of a room on the second floor.
Xiao Yutang gently knocked on the door twice, and then a deep and majestic voice came out.
"Is it Yutang? Come in."
After pushing open the door, Xiao Yutang glanced behind her, motioned for Lin Luo and the others to follow, and then walked in.
Although Lin Luo always had a calm temperament, he could not help but feel a little curious about Vice City Master Xiao.
After entering the room, before he even had time to raise his head to see what Deputy City Master Xiao looked like, he felt that he was firmly locked by a force of energy.
"I didn't expect Xiao Yutang's father to be a master."
Perhaps because the impression Xiao Yutang left on him was too innocent and simple, Lin Luo had never thought before that Deputy City Lord Xiao was actually a master-level professional.
This time, he was caught off guard and locked with a qi machine. Lin Luo's face turned pale, and he took a deep breath before he recovered.
It's just that Deputy City Master Xiao acted secretly and Lin Luo recovered quickly, so the few people present didn't even notice that such an episode had happened.
"Yes, yes, they are all good kids." Deputy City Master Xiao appeared to be praising the three teammates who followed his daughter in, but in fact his eyes stayed on Lin Luo longer.
Only then did Lin Luo see clearly what the speaker looked like.
From Xiao Yutang's appearance, we can know that her father must be good-looking.
Unexpectedly, he looked younger and more handsome than Lin Luo imagined. If it weren't for the beard above his lips and the dark formal suit that looked mature, Lin Luo would have thought that it was Xiao Yutang's eldest brother standing here instead of his father. .
"Hello, Deputy City Master Xiao."
Although this deputy city lord looks very gentle and elegant, the aura of a high-level professional is very oppressive.
Even though he looked at everyone and smiled kindly, Lin Luo and the three of them still said hello honestly.
"Sit down, Yu Tang often mentions you to me. Although this is our first time meeting you, I am no stranger to you."
"Lin Luo."
"Su Junjie."
"The mysterious priest Wang Zhiyu."
"am I right."
Deputy City Master Xiao reported their names one by one. It was obvious that he did know something about his daughter's teammates.
If there were other people standing opposite, Su Junjie might have muttered a few words, but facing the deputy city lord, he felt panicked for some reason.
After hearing the other party calling his name, he responded in a panic and hid behind Lin Luo.
"Yu Tang, pour some tea for your teammates, let's sit and chat."
Lin Luo glanced at the furnishings in the room and chose a seat opposite Deputy City Master Xiao to sit down.
Su Junjie breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat next to Lin Luo. As for Wang Zhiyu, she sat on the right side of Fang Na, leaving an empty seat, which should be for Xiao Yutang.
"I want to thank you for yesterday. If you hadn't stepped forward, this girl Yutang would have been bullied by Zhang Fang."
When Deputy City Master Xiao mentioned the name Zhang Fang, his tone became obviously harsh, and he sounded like he hated this guy.
"You clearly had murderous intentions towards Zhang Fang, why did you let him go?" Lin Luo heard a hint of murderous intent in his voice, but it seemed that he had no intention of dealing with Zhang Fang, and even wanted to make his own The daughter avoided possible harm and chose to let such a wealthy young lady hurriedly take over dangerous tasks and leave her side when her level was not high yet.
"Are you curious why I didn't kill him and sent my daughter away instead?"
Lin Luo was shocked when he heard Deputy City Master Xiao's question. How did the other party know what he was thinking just now.
"Junior really doesn't quite understand."
"Originally, I thought Deputy City Master Xiao might be a peaceful person who doesn't like to fight or kill."
"But after meeting today, I found out that I was wrong. You clearly have the murderous spirit in you, but why did you let go of the villains who tried to harm your daughter so easily?"
Even though Deputy City Master Xiao was imposing, Lin Luo still asked the question in his mind without being humble or overbearing.
Fang Na couldn't help but raise her eyebrows with approval in her eyes.
Deputy City Lord Xiao stared at Lin Luo for a long time and then suddenly smiled.
After his smile, the somewhat cold atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared.
"Yes, yes, he is a good boy." Vice City Master Xiao repeated the words of praise he had given Lin Luo when he first met him.
This time, the words contained more praise, and the voice sounded more emotional, a bit like the feeling of an elder praising his junior.
"If I were just an ordinary combat professional, and Zhang Fang dared to say those words to my daughter yesterday and was caught and thrown into prison by the city guards, even if I didn't punch him to death, I would at least interrupt him. He has three legs..."
"Why three legs?"
"But you are so powerful, the city guard shouldn't be able to catch you."
Strangely enough, just after Vice City Master Xiao smiled, Su Junjie suddenly felt that the unspeakable aura that had been surrounding him since he entered the door suddenly disappeared. He who did not dare to say a word, suddenly could not Control your mouth.
With a puff, Fang Na couldn't help laughing.
When it comes to who feels most at ease here, when Xiao Yutang is not around, it has to be her.
At this moment, she was lowering her head, trying hard to suppress her smile and pretending that nothing happened. Unfortunately, her shaking shoulders betrayed her.
Deputy City Master Xiao was interrupted, and looked at them with some surprise and some amusement.
"This kid, just like what Yu Tang said, is indeed a bit unreliable."
"Dad, you just said nonsense what I said."
At this time, Xiao Yutang finally came back with tea.
After she entered, the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed.
Vice City Master Xiao watched with a smile on his face as his precious daughter poured everyone a cup of tea, except for him.
"You can't drink tea, it's not good for your health." After saying that, Xiao Yutang also sat down in the empty seat.
"What on earth did you just say?" she asked again.
"Oh, Lin Luo is asking me why I don't help you deal with that boy Zhang Fang and why I want to send you away." Deputy City Master Xiao explained in detail.
"Oh, I also want to ask why." Xiao Yutang looked at her father curiously, wondering how he could bear this tone.
"I just said that if I were an ordinary person, I would definitely not worry too much and go directly to help you get revenge."
"It's a pity that after being the deputy city lord for so many years, I have taken all these people in Jincheng into my heart." The deputy city lord sighed.
"Could it be that if Zhang Fang is touched, the Zhang family will take it out on ordinary Jincheng people?" Su Junjie asked in surprise.
"Their family can do this kind of thing." Deputy City Master Xiao replied.
"Are they crazy? Can their family fight against the entire Jincheng professionals?"
Not only Su Junjie, but also several others could not accept Deputy City Master Xiao's answer.
The Zhang family can still deal with so many professionals. Not to mention those high-level professionals, even Lin Luo and the others can also deal with a few minions of the Zhang family.
"Of course they are not as simple as killing people directly. This matter has a long story, and it has to start with our city lord of Jincheng."
"Everyone should know that our city lord of Jincheng will be replaced soon, right?" When deputy city lord Xiao mentioned this matter, his good mood disappeared.
"I know." Everyone nodded.
"Our former city lord was indeed seriously injured in a battle, and his family also suffered heavy losses due to various reasons. Now he no longer has the strength to fight his old rival."
"Our new city lord will take office next month, and I, the deputy city lord, will probably be done with it."
"Of course, this is not the reason why I avoided the Zhang family." Vice City Master Xiao saw everyone's strange expressions and quickly explained.
"After the new city lord, the piece of equipment placed in the city lord's mansion to protect the safety of our Jincheng will also have to change its owner."
"Now this equipment is under my control, but after changing the owner, I will no longer be able to control it, and I will no longer have the ability to defend the entire Jincheng."
"The reason why I don't want to have a head-on conflict with the Zhang family is because I'm afraid that after the control of this equipment is taken back, his family will interfere with it, which will be detrimental to Jincheng." The more he spoke, the more serious the face of Deputy City Master Xiao became.
"Ah? You mean, if Zhang Fang is taken care of by you, what will the Zhang family say to the new city lord to encourage him to stop protecting ordinary people in Jincheng?"
"But the cost of doing this is too high. The new city lord has just arrived in Jincheng, and he can just watch something happen to Jincheng?" Su Junjie simply couldn't imagine that there were such bad people in the world.
