Black Book

Chapter 292: Raising a princess as a pet?
As he stepped into the gate of the Anti-Theft Bureau, all his subordinates along the way bowed sincerely from a distance, and the looks they gave him were filled with warm gratitude. Zhu Haomiao sighed with emotion.

How much do the ordinary people at the bottom of this world lack opportunities for upward mobility?
Just giving them a glimmer of hope can make them so excited?

He looked as if he wished he could go through mountains of swords and seas of fire just for saying a single word!

Arriving at the lobby, Zhu Haomiao frowned slightly when he saw Yan Yunsheng, dressed in bulky clothes, sitting in the main seat.

"If you are injured, take good care of yourself and don't force it."

After hearing this, Yan Yunsheng noticed the young man and quickly stood up to greet him.

"grown ups!"

After greeting each other respectfully, Yan Yunsheng explained with a smile.

"These are minor injuries, and they do not affect my office work."

"You can let others share the work temporarily, and you should take care of yourself."

You are such a useful tool, no accidents can happen to you!

If you fail, I will have to go to work on my own!

Noticing the boy's reproachful gaze, Yan Yunsheng nodded with emotion.

"Yes, my lord."

"By the way, have you announced the news about the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique]?"

"Uh...right."

Yan Yunsheng felt a little uneasy when this matter was mentioned. After hesitating for a moment, he asked.

"Your Excellency, I have already drafted out the preliminary rules for exchanging skills, but now there is a problem..."

"what is the problem?"

"Should this credit be calculated from the day I joined the industry, or from now on?"

"........."

"Many brothers have fought bravely for the Anti-Theft Division for more than a decade and have made outstanding contributions. Now they are injured and disabled, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as before. It doesn't seem fair to put them on the same starting line as the newcomers."

"In addition, they are experienced and calmer, which makes them more suitable for the characteristics of the [Stellar Furnace Body Tempering Technique]."

Stroking his chin, Zhu Haomiao waved his hand and said heroically.

“Start from the moment you enter the industry!”

He wished that there were as many threads of faith as possible to anchor himself, so how could he be stingy?

If he wasn't worried about causing a drastic disturbance in fate, or even destroying the entire fantasy realm, he would have wanted to print out 10,000 copies of the secret book and give one to everyone he met on the street!
On the other side, Yan Yunsheng once again felt Li Lin's selfless heart and clasped his fists in reverence.

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhu Haomiao waved his hand nonchalantly, then suddenly remembered something and changed the subject.

"By the way, have you found out the identity of the person who broke into the prison yesterday?"

When it comes to business, Yan Yunsheng's face becomes serious and he shakes his head solemnly.

"He is not from the imperial capital. He seems to have come from a southern province. He is looking for colleagues from other provinces to help investigate."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but frown.

A person from a southern province traveled all the way to the imperial capital to break out of prison?
"Is this frequency of attacks... normal?"

He had only been here for a month and had already encountered two prison breaks, which seemed a bit too frequent.

Yan Yunsheng also frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said carefully: "It's not normal."

"Unless some 'famous person in the underworld' is imprisoned, he will have disciples, relatives and friends coming to rescue him in waves. The people in our prison are all rotten fish and stinky shrimps..."

Suddenly remembering that there was not even any rotten fish or stinky shrimp left in the dungeon, only some small thugs who were not worthy of being in the public eye, Yan Yunsheng closed his mouth with a strange look on his face.

On the other hand, Zhu Haomiao recalled that a broker had asked him to replace Huo Hong before, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.

Could it be that since the soft approach doesn't work, they just pay someone to use the hard approach?

Or did they transfer people from other provinces all the way here? Are they afraid that someone would find out and catch them?
No wonder it took nearly half a month to take action...

Zhu Haomiao rubbed his chin and frowned in thought as he caught a glimpse of inspiration. If this was true, then they had been tricked by outdated intelligence.

If there were no outlier like me, Yan Yunsheng, the strongest man in the Lechangfang Anti-theft Bureau, would only be at the eighth rank, so a seventh rank man should be a pretty safe configuration.

And after this lesson, will they give up?
Or find someone stronger to jailbreak?

Even at the risk of being exposed, he mobilized direct military forces to do it himself?

The person behind the scenes must be very powerful in the local area, as he was able to find me through a broker in the imperial capital. However, his identity might be quite sensitive, so he didn't dare to take action personally...

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He should have spared Huo Hong's life. That guy must have some secret.

Why can't I control this hand?
Zhu Haomiao slapped the back of his hand, sighed for a moment, and pulled himself back into thought.

"If this is really a serial prison break, then the other party may not give up easily. They may send stronger masters to come. You must be on guard."

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng nodded seriously.

"Yes, my lord."

But when he saw the bandage sticking out from this guy's collar, Zhu Haomiao sighed helplessly.

"Go get two bowls."

This sudden order left Yan Yunsheng confused, but he still quickly found two bowls.

Taking out a soup pot from the leather bag at his waist, Zhu Haomiao poured out the translucent meat soup and filled two small bowls under Yan Yunsheng's astonished gaze.

"One bowl is yours, eat it directly."

"Dissolve another bowl in hot water and give it to the brothers who are still injured. If there is any left, give it to those who have performed well."

Looking at the meat soup in front of him that was obviously not an ordinary thing, Yan Yunsheng breathed quickly and swallowed in disbelief.

"Sir, this is..."

"Qilin soup."

"Royal medicinal food?!"

Yan Yunsheng had heard of this famous royal delicacy a long time ago, and he cried out in excitement.

My Yan family is getting better too!
I can eat the same thing as the emperor!
With a disdainful glance, the contempt in the boy's eyes made Yan Yunsheng realize his loss of composure and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"What's so strange about that? You're not even as calm as a child!"

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng was immediately dissatisfied.

This is Qilin Soup!

Royal secret medicine!

These delicacies are something that many nobles have never seen in their entire lives!
"Which kid can be calmer than me after seeing this..."

Zhu Haomiao keenly caught Yan Yunsheng's faint murmurs and replied with a sneer.

"Zhao Nuo."

"Huh? Who is that?"

"Princess Jinglan."

"??!"

"I just fed her Qilin soup this morning, and she was very calm."

Can that be the same?

She is the emperor's most beloved princess!
You must have eaten this!
We ordinary people have never seen it in our lifetime!
There was a mouthful of bitterness stuck in his throat that he couldn't feel relieved until Yan Yunsheng calmed down. Suddenly, he noticed that Li Lin's tone was not right when he talked about Princess Jinglan.

There was no awe towards the royal princess, but instead a nonchalant and casual attitude, even... a hint of doting.

That attitude doesn't sound like she's talking about a princess who is high and mighty, but rather like she's showing off the cute pet at home.

No!

Sir, has your level reached this high now?
Keeping a princess as a pet?
