Regarding the Spring Rain Pavilion incident, the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office proceeded in an orderly manner. All personnel within the Spring Rain Pavilion, except those who had already died, were interrogated one by one.
During the interrogation, quite a few clues were discovered. These clues, combined with the Nancheng Suppression Office's previous intelligence, allowed them to untangle the threads and successfully apprehend many Ten Thousand Demons Sect insiders.
Several days later, the commendation report, personally written by Shen Shikang, was submitted to the Chief Warrant Officer of the Nancheng Suppression Office.
Based on merit, Master Shen Shikan of the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office, with his meticulous planning and skilled command, successfully suppressed the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's hidden stronghold and thus deserved the first achievement.
Chief Constable Chen Ping'an of the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office, bold and meticulous, handled affairs effectively, and even captured a minor leader of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect alive, thus deserving the second achievement.
The Deputy Squad Leader of the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office commanded appropriately, setting up layers of encirclement, and successfully stopped several Devil remnants, thus deserving the third achievement.
Chief Constable Li Chatou of the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office.......
Shen Shikang had actually deliberated for a long time over this commendation report. The main points of deliberation were regarding Chen Ping'an and Tian Fuliang.
Logically, Tian Fuliang was the second-in-command of the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office. No matter how effectively his subordinates handled affairs, he should rightfully take the second achievement.
After all, no matter how effective the subordinates are, it's because the superiors lead them well!
However...
Chen Ping'an's identity was, after all, extraordinary.
In Shen Shikang's view, he was the Chief Warrant Officer of the Nancheng Suppression Office's confidant!
Furthermore, Chen Ping'an did indeed handle matters effectively this time, and the capture of the old madam was a solid achievement. Therefore, after deliberation, Shen Shikang placed this second achievement on Chen Ping'an.
This could also be considered him going with the flow, indirectly showing favor to the Chief Warrant Officer.
......
On this day, Chen Ping'an was taking a break from his busy schedule in the public office to practice Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training. His Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training had already reached Major Achievement, and the next stage was Horizontal Training Perfection.
Once the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training reached Perfection, his martial Dao Realm would also smoothly enter the Qi Blood Sixth Stage!
Qi Blood Sixth Stage, Marrow Cleansing Realm!
With a continuous flow of Qi and vibrant vitality, he could truly be called a martial Dao powerhouse.
Such an existence, let alone in Nanquan Lane, would be renowned even in the entire Nancheng District.
The supervisors of the several Errand Offices under the Nancheng Suppression Office belonged to this level of strength. Aside from the supervisors of the Nancheng Suppression Office's Errand Offices, a few Squad Leaders from core Southern City Alley areas like Nancheng Lane were also at this martial Dao level.
Of course, this was only within the Zhenfu Division.
The Nancheng District's power structure was even more complex than Nanquan Lane. Besides Gangs and merchant associations, there were also some Families with extraordinary Legacy. Among these Families, there were many martial Dao powerhouses at the Qi Blood Sixth Stage.
+1.
A symbol of experience flashed by.
Chen Ping'an was in a good mood.
Being able to feel his own changes every moment, this kind of timely positive feedback truly makes one addicted.
Just as Chen Ping'an was immersed, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in.”
Chen Ping'an said in a deep voice.
The door to the public office opened, and a young Yamen Runner walked in from outside.
“Chief Constable! Someone's looking for you.”
Zeng Jihe looked respectfully at Chen Ping'an, who was seated on the large chair.
Since Chen Ping'an took charge of the fifth group of Yamen Runners, he had also promoted some of his confidants. He kept Zeng Jihe by his side, letting him do some things with him, which was also a form of training.
“Who is it?”
“Chief Constable, the person who came claims to be a Yamen Runner from the Nancheng Suppression Office, named Chang Zheng.”
“As expected!” Chen Ping'an understood in his heart, a look of 'as expected' flashed across his face: “Let him in.”
“Yes.”
Zeng Jihe responded.
......
“Chief Constable Chen, long time no see!”
Chang Zheng smiled, looking at Chen Ping'an, who was seated behind the long table, feeling as if three days had passed like a dream.
“Indeed, Brother Chang, long time no see.”
Chen Ping'an smiled broadly and poured Chang Zheng a cup of tea.
“Why call me Chief Constable? It's too formal. Just call me by my name.”
Hearing this, a smile flashed in Chang Zheng's eyes, but he still declined: “Chief Constable Chen's kindness is appreciated. However, for official matters, it's better to address each other by title.”
If it had been earlier, upon seeing Chen Ping'an, Chang Zheng would certainly have called him Brother Chen.
At that time, he felt that Chen Ping'an, having been summoned by the Chief Warrant Officer, would surely rise to prominence, so he deliberately established a good relationship early on. However, Chen Ping'an's promotion speed was a bit too fast. So fast that he found it somewhat incredible.
How much time had passed!
He went from a formal Yamen Runner to a provisional Chief Constable. Then, from a provisional Chief Constable to a Chief Constable.
Each opportunity was a summons from Chief Warrant Officer Mu Wanjun.
The first summons, promoted to provisional Chief Constable.
The second summons, promoted to Chief Constable.
Now it was the third summons, who knew if he would be promoted again.
How could he dare to address him casually? Should he still call him Brother Chen as before? Impossible!
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Chang Zheng stated his purpose.
“Chief Constable Chen, the Chief Warrant Officer wants to see you.”
Chen Ping'an was naturally not surprised by this.
In the Spring Rain Pavilion battle, his ability to capture Ru Chun, the Qi Blood Third Stage old madam, alive meant that his martial Dao strength had already improved. Additionally, Shen Shikang had requested the second achievement for him in the commendation report.
All these factors naturally made Mu Wanjun want to summon him.
“Good day, Chief Constable Chen.”
“Chief Constable.”
......
Amidst the greetings of the Yamen Runners, Chen Ping'an left the Nanquan Lane Garrison Office with Chang Zheng and headed towards the Nancheng Suppression Office.
......
“Are you sure it's someone from the Nancheng Suppression Office?”
Shen Shikang's face was surprised as he confirmed with the Yamen Runner in front of him.
“Replying to Squad Leader, yes. The token in that person's hand, I saw it from the side, it's absolutely from the Nancheng Suppression Office.”
The Yamen Runner lowered his head and said respectfully.
“Going to the Nancheng Suppression Office at this time!”
Shen Shikang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself.
“The Chief Warrant Officer actually values him so much!”
It seemed that Chen Ping'an's standing before the Chief Warrant Officer was even higher than he had imagined.
......
The departure of Chen Ping'an with the person from the Nancheng Suppression Office was not only known to Shen Shikang, but also to Tian Fuliang, Chief Constable Li Chatou, Stern, and others, who learned of it immediately.
The speculation about Chen Ping'an having connections in the Nancheng Suppression Office was once again confirmed.
“This young man must be befriended, and never easily provoked.”
......
Chen Ping'an and Chang Zheng walked extremely fast, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the Nancheng Suppression Office. It wasn't his first time there, so Chen Ping'an was familiar with the way. As he and Chang Zheng had just entered the main gate of the Nancheng Suppression Office, they saw a group of people approaching them.
Walking at the very front was a handsome young man, surrounded by a large group of people.
Fish scale uniform!
Chen Ping'an immediately recognized the clothing the other party was wearing.
Judging by the style, it wasn't just any ordinary fish scale uniform!
“Good day, Lord Fu!”
Seeing the approaching people, Chang Zheng pulled Chen Ping'an, quickly made way, bowed, and greeted them.
