From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 88 An old acquaintance from the Inspection Institute

In the next few days, in addition to training the two women in his family, Chen Qiye was waiting to see the reaction of the Inspection Institute.

There has been no movement for so many days, and no one has been noticed to be monitoring near his home, so it can be basically confirmed that there is no need to turn the table with the Inspection Institute for the time being.

Just wait patiently for them to send someone to negotiate terms.

Chen Qiye could roughly figure out that the Inspection Institute would most likely ask him to hand over Si Lili, because Fan Xian would be sent to Northern Qi soon and would exchange Sean and Si Lili for Yan Bingyun.

Bei Qi specifically asked for Si Lili, Chen Qiye knew this without having to ask.

So far, I haven't heard any movement from Northern Qi, so it should be that Qing Kingdom did not leak the news of Si Lili's disappearance.

Although Chen Qiye snatched Si Lili away with great fanfare and made a huge fuss, few people knew about it, not only in Northern Qi but even in Qing.

So the Inspection Office will definitely ask him for someone.

It just depends on how they do it.

Chen Qiye certainly couldn't admit that Si Lili was in his hands. Although others wouldn't need to find excuses if they really wanted to do something to him, he couldn't give others an advantage.

"Master, there is someone visiting outside the door, saying that you two know each other and have worked together before."

Chen Qiye was stunned, and looked at Ye Xiaoling who came in to pass on the message and asked, "He didn't say what his name was?"

"No, and the man was wearing all black and an iron mask. I was afraid he was a bad guy, so I asked the guards to watch him and not let him in."

The man in black and iron mask? Someone from the Inspection Office?

"Let him in!"

"oh···"

Seeing that her young master said so, Ye Xiaoling was no longer afraid and walked out to ask the guards to let her pass.

Soon, the man in black clothes and silver armor walked into the living room, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, saying: "Mr. Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. I wonder if you still remember me?"

Although this person's attire was similar to that of other people from the Inspection Institute, Chen Qiye recognized his identity the moment he heard his voice.

Isn't this the man in black who was looking for him to cooperate in Lezhou to eliminate the Bai family?
Chen Qiye was delighted. It seemed that the Inspection Institute really wanted to have a good talk with him and even found someone with whom he had had dealings before.

He nodded and smiled, "Of course Chen remembers."

"It has been nearly two years since we last met in Lezhou. I hope you are well. Please take a seat."

The man in black smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Master Chen actually remembered me."

The man walked to the side and sat down, raising his hand and saying, "Although it's a little late, I'd still like to introduce myself to Mr. Chen."

"Inspection Institute Sixth Division, under the command of Lord Shadow, Ying Qi."

Chen Qiye raised his hand to return the greeting: "It turns out to be Master Ying, Chen is polite."

"Haha...Mr. Chen, you're too polite."

"I have known Master Chen for a long time, so I won't say too many polite words. I am here today to convey the dean's will. Of course, it is just a verbal order, so there is no need to go through the official procedures."

Chen Qiye thought to himself, even if you bring the imperial edict, I won’t kneel down to receive it...

"I am just a commoner, but I have actually alarmed the famous Dean Chen. Even His Majesty has issued an oral order. I am terrified."

"Lord Ying, just be frank. As a citizen of the Qing Kingdom, no matter what Your Majesty asks me to do, I, Chen Qiye, will do my best." The corners of Ying Qi's mouth twitched wildly under his mask. Why didn't he realize that this man was so despicable before?

You almost went to war with the Inspectorate, why are you pretending to be a good citizen here?

But despite all the complaints, Ying Qi truly admires Chen Qiye.

No matter what the reason was, whether he had been hiding his strength in the past or what, he witnessed with his own eyes how Chen Qiye turned around and became a person who could negotiate terms with the Inspection Institute in just two years. This could simply be described as a dream.

Fortunately, my position and ability in the Inspection Institute are average, otherwise, as the first person to contact Chen Qiye, I didn’t notice the other party’s specialness and would be punished now.

He came here on official business today, so he didn't think much about it and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Chen, in fact, His Majesty's meaning is very simple."

"I heard that Master Chen is a ninth-rank archer whose strength is not inferior to Commander Yan, and he has many capable people under his command. So Your Majesty hopes that Master Chen can lend a hand and help us find the missing Si Lili."

"That day, Si Lili was kidnapped by an unknown gangster. That gangster's strength is unfathomable. Now the Inspection Office has many important matters to attend to, and it is really hard to spare anyone who can deal with the ninth rank."

"Recently, Young Master Chen fought with Commander Yan at Fan's residence and was not at a disadvantage. Commander Yan personally confirmed that Young Master Chen is a ninth-rank archer who is not much different from him. Your Majesty was very surprised. He did not expect that such a brilliant genius would appear in the territory of Qing."

"If Master Chen is willing to help the Inspection Institute find the missing Si Lili, His Majesty will personally issue an order to reward Master Chen."

"Your choice of official position, title, gold, silver, and treasure is up to you, Master Chen."

Chen Qiye was delighted when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to make excuses for him.

Although he clearly understood that people like Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing would have many calculations behind everything they did, he had thought about encountering this situation before he took the initiative to jump into the muddy water of Kyoto.

These big guys have extraordinary patience when they plan a conspiracy.

It is common for several years or even decades to pass. Chen Pingping even spent his entire life scheming against Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing was not bad either. He hid his identity as a grandmaster for many years just for the battle at Dadong Mountain.

However, Chen Qiye was not afraid of this long and boring layout.

Because he has a cheat, as long as he is given time, he will continue to become stronger. Now he has been promoted to the ninth rank, and the speed of improvement has exceeded the cognition of anyone in this world. No matter how smart you are, you can't think of anything beyond your cognition.

Just like Emperor Qing has been afraid of Barrett all his life, he will never understand until his death that there are things that are a hundred times more awesome than Barrett.

Now that the other party is willing to give him time, he is of course happy to accept it.

He raised his hand and saluted, saying, "Chen is a citizen of the Qing Kingdom, and I will obey the emperor's orders. Lord Ying, please tell Dean Chen and His Majesty that Chen will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"We will also mobilize all our forces to help the Inspection Office find Si Lili as quickly as possible."

Ying Qi curled his lips, stood up and clasped his fists and bowed: "Since Master Chen is so straightforward, I won't bother you any more. I am also very grateful to Master Chen for giving me face and allowing me to successfully complete the task assigned by the superiors."

Chen Qiye waved his hand: "Hey... Lord Ying, you are too polite. We are old acquaintances."

"By the way, Master Ying, how should I cooperate with the Inspection Office in this operation to retrieve Si Lili?"

"For example, when should we act and where should we find people?"

"Forehead···"

"As for this, the instructions I received are...Mr. Chen can try his own method first. It would be best if it works. If not, we can consider further considerations..."
