Chapter 118 The Son Who Calls Him "Dad" Has a Way with Show-offs

The next day.

The first rays of sunlight.

Cheng Laiyun opened his eyes, got up to wash, and then pushed open the courtyard gate.

The April sun is neither too hot nor too cold, and it feels warm and cozy on the skin.

"Unbeknownst to us, more than three months have already passed."

His eyes were somewhat dazed.

It feels like a lifetime has passed since he opened his eyes in the county prison of Yong'an County.

From a mere prisoner to the current eighth-rank Inspector of the State Administration Commission.

"Good morning, Laiyun."

His colleagues Zhu Yuanzhi and Hai Wuyai, already dressed in their official uniforms and with their hands on their swords at their waists, greeted him with bright smiles.

"morning."

When Cheng Laiyun saw the two figures, one fat and one thin, a smile crept onto his lips.

Unlike when he first reported to the company yesterday.

The casualness in Hai Wuyai and Zhu Yuanzhi's gazes toward Cheng Laiyun had lessened, and replaced by a greater sense of respect.

"Thanks to you last night." Zhu Yuanzhi's thin, pointed chin stretched even wider as he smiled. He cautiously approached Cheng Laiyun. "If you hadn't intervened in time, I would have been in serious trouble."

Cheng Laiyun knew he was referring to Zhang Lin coming to cause trouble.

"No, not at all." Cheng Laiyun waved his hand, straightened his newly put-on official robes, and said with a faint smile, "Zhang Lin came here specifically to target me."

"Brother Yuanzhi suffered an undeserved calamity."

Zhang Lin's trouble-making last night was clearly an attempt to use the excuse of "borrowing" the Rejuvenation Pill from him.

He wanted to help his uncle Zhang Hong, whom he had killed.

Anyone with eyes can see it.

"My God, I'm serious. You fainted first and didn't see clearly, but I saw it all clearly from the side."

Hai Wuyai's round, chubby face was now filled with amazement and admiration. He frantically gestured in the air, calling out, "Zhang Lin!"

"A sixth-rank martial artist, the Inspector of the Fire Scale Hall! His strength needs no further explanation!"

"He made the first move."

"Lai Yun, right before my eyes, transformed into a great general!"

"That armor, wow, it almost blinded me!"

"Just one punch! Yuanzhi, look at me, just one punch! Did you see that? This one punch made Zhang Lin vomit blood—"

Hai Wuyai's chubby face flushed with excitement, and he waved his fists back and forth in the air.

It was as if it wasn't Cheng Laiyun who beat Zhang Lin up last night, but himself.

"Zhang Lin's men were unhappy about it."

"We need to join forces with Zhang Lin to transport it right away."

"Can I say yes?!"

"You said that even though we've only known each other for a day, Laiyun is already someone I've considered a brother for life!"

"I stepped forward and shielded Laiyun behind me."

"I drew my sword, clang clang clang! I pinned those inspectors to the ground."

"Only then can Lai Yun deal with Zhang Lin with greater peace of mind—"

As Hai Wuyai spoke, he became so engrossed in his speech that saliva flew everywhere, and his face was full of satisfaction. Just as he was getting into the swing of things, he suddenly received a disgusted look from Zhu Yuanzhi.

Hai Wuyai looked at Zhu Yuanzhi defiantly: "Huh? What's with that expression?!"

"You don't believe me?!"

"Don't believe me? Ask Lai Yun!"

"Yesterday, those inspectors under Zhang Lin, didn't I just shield them for him and that was it?!"

At this point, Hai Wuyai turned around, his back to Zhu Yuanzhi, and looked at Cheng Laiyun, his face full of pleading, but his voice was extremely loud: "Laiyun, tell him! How I got those inspectors to the ground!"

"Let him see something new!"

Then, Hai Wuyai moved to the side, using his massive, fat body to block Zhu Yuanzhi.

He clasped his hands together and frantically swung them up and down in front of Cheng Laiyun.

Although no sound came out of his lips, Cheng Laiyun could tell from the shape of his mouth that it was clearly a cry of "Father."

have to.

Even a grown man is like this.

What else can I, Cheng Laiyun, say?

I'll show you what's what!

"Is that so?" Zhu Yuanzhi crossed his arms, glanced at Hai Wuyai, and his face clearly showed his disbelief.

"cough."

Cheng coughed lightly, looked at Hai Wuyai's pleading expression, and nodded, saying, "That's indeed the case."

-

"Wuya wasn't scared and stood still like an idiot; he actually took his knife and rushed up to help me take care of those small fry."

At this point, Cheng Laiyun even feigned a hint of gratitude, looking at Hai Wuyai: "Thanks to Wuyai yesterday."

"If you hadn't dealt with Zhang Lin's men, I really wouldn't have been able to handle so many people."

"Ouch! Ouch!! What are you saying! You're all buddies!"

Hai Wuyai's vanity reached an unprecedented level of satisfaction; he even felt like he was floating. He rushed up and pulled Cheng Laiyun into his arms: "Tonight, Zuixianju, it's on me!!"

Meanwhile, in a place unknown to others, he gave Cheng Laiyun a thumbs up.

"Alright."

Zhu Yuanzhi still had his arms crossed, glanced sideways at Hai Wuyai, and smirked, "Heh."

I don't believe anything you say.

Hai Wuyai looked at Zhu Yuanzhi's expression, which even carried a hint of mockery.

Clenching his fist under his sleeve.

He was even somewhat embarrassed and angry: "Lai Yun himself said it! You still don't believe him?!"

"We've been brothers for so many years?! How can you treat me like this?!"

Cheng Laiyun could only shrug helplessly.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhi was quite familiar with Hai Wuyai's timid nature.

Zhu Yuanzhi maintained the same expression, glancing sideways at Hai Wuyai: "Don't even mention Lai Yun speaking up for you, even if Zhang Xiangzhi said it today, I still 'don't believe it'!"

Hai Wuyai was also dumbfounded. He looked Zhu Yuanzhi up and down with a suspicious expression: "This makes no sense!"

Finally, I managed to put on a cool act again.

He even called out, "Dad, go out!"

No matter how you look at it, Hai Wuyai has to keep up the act.

As he said those words...

Now it was Zhu Yuanzhi's turn to feel awkward.

He coughed lightly, his gaze, which had been fixed on Hai Wuya, unconsciously drifted towards the tree trunks to the side.

He forced himself to say, "Actually, I didn't faint last night."

"I was just afraid of getting beaten up again, so I pretended to faint."

"I actually know everything that happened afterward."

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became.

Hai Wuyai's excited face suddenly froze.

His body was also forcibly held in place.

Cheng Laiyun also opened his eyes wide.

Time itself became silent.

-

Cheng Laiyun first sized up Hai Wuyai.

Then he turned his attention to Zhu Yuanzhi.

I watched it several times.

Finally, Xu Huan gave the two of them a thumbs up: "You two are both awesome."

Looking at Cheng Laiyun.

The sea is boundless, and life is meaningless.

Zhu Yuanzhi couldn't help but blush.

Pretending to faint isn't necessarily any more honorable than Hai Wuyai's boasting.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you two here anymore. I need to go find Inspector Gao and go to the Ministry of Works to investigate the case together."

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Laiyun waved his hand and said, "Let's talk another day."

"Ahem! Laiyun, um—" Hai Wuyai seemed to remember something, and subconsciously took two steps forward, wanting to speak, but then awkwardly looked at the ground—

The attempt to show off failed.

I just said I'd treat everyone to dinner.

Don't take it too seriously.

But he was really embarrassed to say those words aloud.

Cheng Laiyun glanced at him and twitched his lips.

"Alright."

"I know."

"Once I finish handling the Ministry of Works case, I'll treat you to Zuixianju."

As he spoke, he took a step and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

As soon as they stepped out of the Qingyun Hall courtyard.

Then he saw Gao Heyun standing straight ahead, one hand behind her back.

She was dressed in black, and her figure was exceptional.

A gentle breeze caressed her, and her hair fluttered in the breeze.

Her phoenix eyes were looking this way.

Eyes facing each other.

Cheng Laiyun's mood suddenly improved considerably.

Looking at beautiful things is a way to cleanse the soul.

It's the same with looking at beautiful women.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Cheng Laiyun wore a faint smile.

He stepped forward and bowed to Gao Heyun: "Lord Gao."

Gao Heyun looked at him, her brows furrowed slightly, and then looked up at the entrance of Qingyun Hall.

He then calmly said, "Zhu Yuanzhi and Hai Wuyai are timid and cowardly, unfit for great responsibilities. In the future, do not have too much entanglement with them."

Cheng Laiyun was taken aback.

It seems that Gao Heyun overheard their conversation in the courtyard.

He waved his hand with a smile and said, "Oh, it's alright. I just think those two are quite interesting."

"Let's go, let's go to the Ministry of Works first."

Seeing that Cheng Laiyun didn't seem to care much, Gao Heyun didn't say anything more, just nodded and walked forward.

Ministry of Works.

When Cheng Laiyun set foot on this scorched earth once again.

His mood remained heavy.

In front.

Devastated.

The civilians affected by the bombing have been evacuated from the area with the help of officials dispatched by the imperial court.

.

But the stench of blood and the smell of burning still lingered in the air.

Cheng Laiyun watched the farmers clearing away the scorched earth.

His lips moved twice, but he didn't speak.

"Let's go, the Ministry of Works is just ahead."

Gao Heyun's voice rang out.

This pulled Cheng Laiyun back to his senses.

"Um."

Cheng Laiyun nodded and followed Gao Heyun for less than a mile before they saw a huge government office courtyard.

This courtyard is extremely peculiar.

One half is intact, while the other half is in ruins.

However, it looks much better than the vast expanse of scorched earth we saw earlier.

"It seems the epicenter of the explosion wasn't at the Ministry of Works, but rather in that scorched earth—"

Cheng Laiyun frowned deeply.

Just by looking at the environment, it's clear that although the Ministry of Industry was also affected, the impact wasn't too great.

He didn't say much, but followed Gao Heyun into the Ministry of Works.

At this time, the Ministry of Works made a great oath.

The situation is somewhat complicated.

The ruins on the east side that were affected are being cleared again.

The intact area on the west side of the shell was piled with items and occupied by many people.

Cheng Laiyun stared intently at it.

There were people wearing all sorts of official robes.

The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, the Regent's Office —

Officials from the Ministry of Works accounted for the majority of the Wu Zhonggong (五中工部) personnel.

The remaining personnel were the three judicial departments sent to investigate the case.

Gao Heyun led Cheng Laiyun toward the place where the officials of the Regent's Office were gathered.

We've only gone halfway.

Then a very familiar and excited voice rang out: "Sister Gao!"

"Cheng Laiyun!"

The sound rang out.

Cheng Laiyun immediately turned his head to look ahead, and at the same time, a long-lost gentle smile appeared on his face.

In front.

A beautiful figure walked quickly towards them and stood in front of the two.
