Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Surrounded by Enemies (Part 3)

With a flirty smile on his face, County Magistrate Su dashed out of the government office, bowing his fists towards the two men incessantly.

“Haha…I greet both of you! So, you both came here together, I truly apologize for keeping you waiting. Please come inside!”

“Just fine, Lord Su, after you.”

A flash of light flickered in Di Yelei’s eyes as he ignored Zhang Shixin behind him and strode into the government office.

Upon seeing Di Yelei disappear behind the gate of the government office, County Magistrate Su hurriedly pulled Zhang Shixin aside.

“What… what just happened?”

“What else could it be? He is simply a bloody barbarian, I spit!”

Zhang Shixin cursed and rehashed what had just happened: “I never imagined his martial arts skills were so good, I almost lost my life over it.”

“He is born a hunter, so he’s naturally different from ordinary people. He’s incredibly strong, and you insisted sending your men to their deaths against him. They were lucky that they didn’t have their hands and legs twisted off!”

Zhang Shixin wiped his face, spat out a few mouthfuls of phlegm, and after a long string of curses, he said fiercely,

“I let that Liu Sisi go for the sake of my father-in-law. Now this Di has offended me, I can’t let him off easily! I must make him suffer to relieve my hatred!”

County Magistrate Su gave a series of cold laughs. Zhang Shixin clearly did not want to give up his wealth and honor and dared not to seek revenge against Liu Sisi, who was Lord Gan’s adopted daughter. He just wanted to pick on the soft persimmon – Di Yelei. Worst comes to worst, Di might not be subdued but instead cause much trouble.

However….. The other party was after all Lord Gan’s son-in-law. Although there was much more to it, it just so happened that he could make use of this….

Thinking of this, his eyes darted around, followed by a comforting pat on his shoulder. “Exactly, this Di Yelei is indeed too much. Regardless, you and him are related by marriage, there shouldn’t be any division between family members. Even if Lord Gan finds out, he will definitely stand by your side…”

County Magistrate Su kept praising him, causing Zhang Shixin to drown in self-pride, not knowing where he is.

“County Magistrate Su surely understands. When I visited the capital last year, I made a special trip to the Minister’s Mansion. My father-in-law highly praised me…”

Zhang Shixin boasted for quite a while, it was not until County Magistrate Su realized the time was getting late, that he cleared his throat to interrupt him.

“Master Zhang! Today, I invited you here because I have a favor to ask of you.”

“Whatever it is Lord Su, feel free to ask, anything I can do, I will definitely do it!”

Zhang Shixin looked at the County Magistrate’s expression and immediately understood.

The things that would involve him, Zhang Shixin, were bound to be related to money. He wondered what kind of plan County Magistrate Su was hatching.

“You need not worry too much, we are not the only ones standing on this side.”

County Magistrate Su chuckled twice, leaning towards Zhang Shixin’s ear, whispering for a moment. The two looked at each other and laughed, everything was understood without being said!

Di Yelei stepped through the gate of the county government office, strode across the hall, and entered the backyard.

Truthfully, he used to be able to come and go through this gate of the government office as he pleased back when he was a constable, but since he became a sub-captain recently, he had not been able to come in despite his frequent visits.

Now, as he entered the government office again, an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.

“Good morning Deputy Leader Di.”

“Deputy Leader Di, you haven’t come for a few days, the brothers have missed you.”

“Deputy Leader Di, what brings you in today? Aren’t you at the armory?”

“Deputy Leader Di, you…”

The bailiffs and constables who were originally acquainted with him crowded around, warmly greeting him.

This scene warmed Di Yelei’s heart, revealing a smile that was rarely seen these days, and he responded with a fist greeting to everyone.

“Thank you, my brothers, for your concern. I’m doing well, just missing the days when I was fighting alongside everyone. Here I am today, specifically to visit you all.”

The crowd around joking joyfully.

“It’s rare that Deputy Leader Di, having become an official, still cares about us brothers. Today you should spend more time with us, and treat us to a few drinks.”

“Indeed, Deputy Leader Di, you cannot just run away like this. We are all craving for the dishes at the Drunken Fairy Restaurant.”

Everyone laughed at this statement.

“Ahem, ahem…”

During the boastful conversation, a double cough sounded from behind the group.

A skinny man, with a face as black as coal and a triangular face, walked over.

“Have you all finished your work? Nothing to do? If you don’t want to work anymore, leave early! Don’t just take up space here without accomplishing anything! It’s irritating to see!”

His words scattered the crowd like birds and beasts. In just a moment, everyone was gone from Di Yelei’s sight.

Even Xiaoliang, the last to leave, glanced apologetically back at him before he followed the crowd inside, not daring to show his face.

The man, with a face like coal, proudly walked forward a few steps and stopped not far from Di Yelei, raising his head to look at him.

“Oh! Isn’t this our seventh-rank sub-captain, Minister Di? It’s truly a remarkable event to have Sub-captain Minister grace us with his presence! Very rare indeed!”

Di Yelei looked down and crossed his arms over his chest, then lazily said,

“So, it turns out to be Xin Quan, the Criminal Justice Officer Xin. My apologies for not recognizing you earlier, please forgive me!”

The gazes of the two met mid-air, sparks flying. Both wanting to tear each other apart, yet both wearing courteous smiles.

When County Magistrate Su and Zhang Shixin came in from outside the office, they saw the figure that had been standing there for a long time.

“Eh? What are the two of you standing there for? Please sit, don’t be too polite, we are all friends here.”

County Magistrate Su greeted everyone with a beaming smile. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

“Thank you, Lord Su.”

Di Yelei glanced at Xin Quan across from him, a flash of light passing through his eyes. He gave Su County a slight fist salute, then confidently walked to the superior seat on the left, pouring himself tea.

Xin Quan was already complaining internally!

His legs were already numb, but he didn’t want to admit defeat under the opponent’s powerful momentum, so he just stood there, trying his best to endure.

Seeing Di Yelei’s easygoing disposition and his own weary appearance, he hated Di Yelei even more.

County Magistrate Su was a very observant person, and seeing Xin Quan’s condition, he quickly offered him a hand: “Lord Xin, please have a seat, don’t discredit me.”

“Alright, alright.” Xin Quan then got up and sat down in the seat across from Di Yelei.
