Chapter 424: The Funny Police Chief
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Just then, the police chief’s phone rang. He took a look at the caller ID, immediately straightened up and respectfully picked up the call. He kept saying “Yes, yes.” when he was answering the call. It had been quite a while before he hung up the call, and he treated Tang Xi and Qiao Liang even more respectfully. He politely asked the two of them to take a seat.
Tang Xi took a look at the police chief in surprise and then sat down on the sofa.
However, Qiao Liang wasn’t surprised at all. He sat down and pointed at the sofa opposite to him, saying, “Take a seat.”
“Mr. Qiao, I didn’t expect you would come to our police station. You can rest assured that I’ll carefully investigate this case. Since that woman hurt Miss Tang and severely injured her, I won’t let her off easily and will definitely have her receive the punishment she deserves.” The police chief said in French. Obviously he was very nervous and kept wiping sweat from his forehead.
“Of course, I’ll have our best policemen to investigate this case. We definitely won’t let you down.”
Qiao Liang smiled. “Okay, I trust you. By the way, no one will know I’ve been here except you and the one who you just talked to on the phone, understood?”
The police chief’s eyes lit up when he heard his words. He looked at Qiao Liang in excitement and kept nodding. “Yes, yes, I know. Mr. Qiao has a distinguished identity and is mysterious. We’ll keep secret of your whereabouts.”
The police chief was wondering who Tang Xi was! For her, Lawrence called Mr. President and even the boss of Long Xiao Group Mr. Q showed up here!

Very few people knew Mr. Q’s name. The only thing they knew about him was that his family name was Qiao. No one had seen how he looked. Except the other two bosses of Long Xiao Group, no one had seen his real face!
He didn’t expect he was so fortunate as to meet the legendary figure here.
Qiao Liang was very satisfied with the police chief’s response. He stood up and nodded. “Okay, then I’ll be going.”
Tang Xi also thanked the police chief who hurriedly stood up and said “It’s my duty”. Then he saw them out personally and Qiao Liang looked back at the police chief and said, “Don’t trouble yourself to come and see us out. I know there are a lot of people who want you to do them a favor, but I think you know how to deal with those concerning this case, right?”
“Mr. Qiao, you can rest assured. We’ll handle the case impartially and absolutely won’t practice favoritism. Nobody can bribe us to release that woman!” The police chief looked at Qiao Liang with a smile and said firmly.
He was not stupid. If he released that woman, he would lose his life, let alone his position! He certainly wouldn’t sacrifice his life for a strange woman.
After Qiao Liang and Tang Xi left, the police chief called all inspectors of the police station to a meeting and told them to handle this case carefully, because the president was very concerned about this case. And he also told them not to leak any information about this case. Otherwise, they would be fired.
All the inspectors looked at the police chief in surprise. Even Mr. President was concerned about this case?! What the heck were the identities of those people involved in this case?!

After the police chief made sure that all the inspectors had been aware of the importance of this case, he concluded the meeting and went back to his office. At the door of his office, his secretary came up to him…
“Mr. Chief, just now a person came here and said he wanted to meet you to know about the airport assault case.” The secretary looked at the police chief respectfully and touched his pocket unconsciously.
He didn’t want to pass on the message at first, but that man gave him ten thousand Euros. Then he happily agreed to do that man this favor.
Hearing his words, the police chief frowned and said coldly, “I don’t have time! Who is he? Why should I make time to meet him? He can go talk with the policemen who are responsible for this case.”
“Yes, Mr. Chief. But he said he could offer you…” The secretary didn’t say the latter part of his words. He knew the police chief well. He could do people favors provided he got what he wanted. That man who gave him ten thousand Euros easily would certainly give more money to the police chief.
The police chief’s face darkened when he heard his secretary’s words. He glared at his secretary and growled, “Do I look like a corrupt official? Cruz, I know you’ve taken that man’s money. Now return the money to him! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh to you! If there is still anyone who wants to see me for this case, just tell them I don’t have time, understood?!”
The secretary was stunned by his words. When did his boss become so upright? He didn’t even want to earn this easy money?!
The police chief surely knew what his secretary was thinking of, but he couldn’t tell him the reason. Which one was more important, money or his life? Of course his life was more important! If he had died, what did he still need money for? To burn it in front of his grave? To pave his path on the road to hell?
No, he wanted to be alive.
He was very happy that he saw the legendary Mr. Qiao and received a call from the president today! That felt so good!
In a good mood, the police chief walked into his office, clasping his hands behind his back and humming a tune.
The secretary had to bitterly take out the cheque he just received and returned it to its former owner…
Grandpa Qin looked at the returned cheque with wide open eyes and stared at his assistant, asking angrily, “What did you say?!”
“The police chief even refused to meet us, let alone accepting our money. And he even had his secretary return us the cheque we gave him. It seems that we can’t count on the police chief to save Miss.”

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
