Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1471 - 1475: Double Joy Arrives

Zhao Lanjin was filled with anticipation, but upon hearing Qin Tian's laughable response, he immediately pursed his lips.

He originally wanted to ask more, but Qin Tian quickly changed the subject, and he realized that Qin Tian probably didn't want to talk about the process, so Zhao Lanjin settled down and didn't ask further.

That afternoon, Qin Tian took Zhao Lanjin to Bai Susu's grave outside East Capital City, where Zhao Lanjin cried uncontrollably, causing his wounds to burst and bleed.

Qin Tian stood by, heartbroken and helpless, and could only say, "Cry, cry, men crying isn't a crime, even the strongest have the right to be weary..."

Zhao Lanjin cried for a long time before finally regaining his composure. He sat on the ground and said to Qin Tian, "Susu saved me with her life. I was meant to be her two in one, but alas, we only had a few years together before she left me..."

"The way she left me is exactly the way I feared the most. In the end, we couldn't escape the Sword Shadow's pursuit..." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Qin Tian's eyebrows shot up as he asked, "Sword Shadow?"

Zhao Lanjin replied, "I have nothing to hide from you. I was originally a member of the Sword Shadow Organization, killing with swordsmanship and serving my master. Later, I killed an innocent person and felt guilty, so I thought about quitting..."

"But my life is worth no more than a straw, like a Hunting Dog, quitting was impossible. I could only escape... During the pursuit by Sword Shadow's people, I fell off a cliff into the Cold Pond, and it was Susu, the laundry woman, who saved me..."

"I originally thought that escaping death would cause Sword Shadow to let me go, but unexpectedly, Sword Shadow's people pursued us to below the cliff and killed Susu's entire family. Susu and I fled together, jumped off a cliff with a determination to die, but unexpectedly, we both survived... So, I promised to take care of her for a lifetime, to live a normal life with hidden identities."

"I originally wasn't called Zhao Lanjin, but later changed to this name. We reached East Capital to survive, and I joined the City Guard Army. But I feared for Susu's safety, so I always let him stay outside and didn't let people know."

"Even though I had strength greater than the average person in the City Guard Army, I always held back and didn't show it, fearing being targeted and discovered by Sword Shadow's people... Unfortunately... they still came in the end."

Zhao Lanjin shook his head, looking at Qin Tian, "How are Luo Sheng and the others? If any of those four left alive, you and I would be dead."

Qin Tian said, "Don't worry, those four must have followed the trail all the way here. I've already dealt with them, and the information won't leak. From now on, with the name Zhao Lanjin, no one should discover you."

"How did you... never mind, knowing the process is of no use."

Zhao Lanjin exhaled deeply, stood up, set his gaze on the newly carved gravestone of Bai Susu, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Susu, I originally wanted to accompany you in death, but unfortunately, I survived again. Since that's the case, it must be fate, fate that wants me to avenge you."

His eyes sparkled brightly as he uttered, "For the rest of my life, I swear with my life, I will avenge you and kill that high one from Sword Shadow! I swear with my life!"

...

When Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin returned to the City Guard Army's courtyard, many people had already gathered there, including one, Liu Qi, an adviser to the Centurion Liu Weihao.

"Master Liu, you came here personally because..."

Qin Tian was taken aback to see Liu Qi unprecedentedly arrive here with four subordinates. Could it be that they had found out Chen Weiming's death was related to him?

Liu Qi chuckled and said, "Qin Tian, congratulations! After a personal investigation by the Centurion, checking the wounds on the body, it's confirmed that Chen Weiming's death has nothing to do with you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, recognizing Liu Weihao as a rather fair person.

"Haha, besides this, I'm here personally today with another piece of good news, you're having double blessings today!"

Upon Liu Qi's words, Qin Tian was curious, his gaze turned to Ye Zhiyuan and others, only to see them smiling, apparently already knowing what Liu Qi was about to say.

"For this mission in Nanyun Town, your team took the lead role. You personally killed the bandit leader. According to the pre-set rewards by the City Guard Army, you, Qin Tian, from today onward, are promoted one level, to Centurion!"

Upon Liu Qi's announcement, Ye Zhiyuan and several others cheered and applauded.

"Thank you, Master Centurion, thank you, Master Liu." Qin Tian bowed.

Liu Qi laughed and said, "After consideration, the Centurion decided to appoint you to take over Chen Weiming's position and become the new Centurion. Congratulations! Here is the commission!"

As Liu Qi spoke, he handed the commission to Qin Tian, who received it with both hands.

From a Centurion in charge of ten people to a Centurion in charge of a hundred, Qin Tian's power moved a step further, bringing him closer to his grand goal, naturally a cause for celebration.

Before Liu Qi left, he asked Qin Tian to recommend someone to take over his previous position as Centurion, for Liu Weihao to make the final decision upon Liu Qi's return.

After deep consideration, Qin Tian made two decisions.

First, to recommend Xie Tingjie to take over his position as Centurion.

Second, to recommend Zhao Lanjin as his logistics officer, managing salaries, food, and weapons.

After Liu Qi took the recommendations back, that afternoon, Centurion Liu Weihao responded, approving both of Qin Tian's proposals.

Clearly, Liu Weihao saw Qin Tian's background from East Han Academy and his ability to lead the worst ten-man team to success, which evidently boosted Liu Weihao's standing as an officer considerably.

The next day, Qin Tian convened a meeting with the ten teams under his jurisdiction.

Previously, those Centurions who had looked down on Qin Tian now instantly changed their attitudes, showering him with flattery, making Qin Tian only able to sneer.

Of course, Yang Bo, the Centurion who had a grudge with Qin Tian, and Zhong Lin, who was aligned with Yang Bo, naturally did not show Qin Tian a friendly face.

Especially Yang Bo, who originally assumed that after Chen Weiming's death, he would take over Chen's position, only to find the Centurion Liu Weihao chose Qin Tian instead, leaving him extremely frustrated.

Therefore, today in the meeting, he and Zhong Lin deliberately arrived half an hour late, keeping everyone waiting for a long time.

"Yang Bo, Zhong Lin, why are you late? Did you hear the wrong message about the nine o'clock meeting I conveyed?"

Once all ten Centurions were seated, Qin Tian's gaze swept directly to Yang Bo as he sternly questioned.

You show no kindness, neither will I. Previously, Yang Bo tried to harm Qin Tian, now Qin Tian has a higher rank, and revenge is very much in Qin Tian's nature!
