I, disguised as a white dragon, was supported by the state.

Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment before looking up and immediately seeing the brown bear right in front of him.

He was so frightened that his hand trembled, and he almost plunged the dagger into his own leg.

The two men locked eyes with the brown bear.

This time, it seems that the two people had stolen its food, which completely enraged the brown bear. It roared and charged directly at the two.

Chen Zhuo's legs trembled, but he stood still.

He clasped his hands together and cried out, "Grandpa Dragon, save me!"

Chen's father also tried his best to calm himself down, telling himself that he had the magic of the White Dragon.

However, the white dragon's magic seemed to have disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the brown bear was three meters away from them, swinging its sharp claws and pouncing at the two of them.

The expected barrier did not appear; the brown bear pressed down like a mountain.

Chen Zhuo was so frightened that he forgot to hide.

Just as the bear's claws were about to strike his head, a tremendous force suddenly came from the side, shoving him away.

As he fell, he saw that the brown bear's body had already moved past where he had been standing.

His head buzzed, his mind went blank, and only two words remained.

Finished!

"Is he alright?" A voice suddenly woke him up.

He heard his father's voice: "No...it's nothing, he was just scared."

He quickly turned his head and immediately saw his father standing there, with a strange man beside him.

The father's expression clearly showed bewilderment and shock.

He looked to his side and found that the brown bear was lying next to him, motionless on the ground.

Chen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then quickly got up from the ground.

He only noticed a black dagger stuck in the back of the brown bear's head when he got up.

Just as he was looking over, he suddenly saw the black sword flash and fly back into the man's sleeve under his gaze.

"A deity?" Chen Zhuo blurted out.

Looking at the shocked father and son, Lei Yao shook his head and said, "I'm not a god."

Looking at the brown bear on the ground, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry I'm a little late and I've startled you both."

“No, it’s alright,” Mr. Chen said hurriedly. “We were not hurt; you saved us.”

He's still a little dazed.

Earlier, when he saw the brown bear rushing towards him, he didn't have time to think and pushed his son away. But out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark shadow rapidly approaching in the distance.

Even if it was just one glance, he would never forget it.

That was clearly someone flying on a sword!

In a flash, he saw the flying sword transform into a streak of light, instantly piercing the brown bear's forehead and rescuing him from this life-or-death crisis.

Chen Zhuo didn't see this scene, but the sight of Lei Yao retrieving the black sword had already amazed him.

"Did Grandpa Long send you to save us?" he asked.

Lei Yao asked in surprise, "Grandpa Long?"

"Grandpa Long is a white dragon, very majestic and brave..." Father Chen racked his brains for words of praise.

"You mean Mr. Bai?" Lei Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He almost thought the two were Bai Lin's eldest grandson, which would have been quite a surprise.

Chen Zhuo and his son exchanged a glance, both showing surprise and delight.

“Mr. Bai sent me to take you out,” Lei Yao said. “Don’t spread this around. People from relevant government departments will talk to you later and you will sign some confidentiality agreements.”

“I understand,” Chen Zhuo nodded vigorously, unable to contain his curiosity, “Are you all immortals?”

Chapter 105 Divine Dragon Kingdom Academy

"Is your boss a god?" Mr. Lu asked.

He had completed the discharge procedures and was now walking home with his daughter.

In fact, he was supposed to leave a few days ago, but the doctor was worried and insisted that he be observed for two more days until the comprehensive test results came out and it was confirmed that his body had recovered and that some of his old ailments had disappeared without a trace. Only then did he complete the discharge procedures amidst the doctor's exclamation of surprise.

The daughter had anticipated this, saying it was all thanks to the miracle drug her boss had given her.

He had already forgotten what that miracle drug tasted like.

At that time, he was still lying unconscious in the intensive care unit. He only remembered hearing a sudden shout in his ear, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his daughter in front of him. His body was no longer abnormal.

He later learned that his daughter had fed him a miracle drug.

That was given to me by my daughter's boss.

He didn't know much about his daughter's job, only that it was related to the government.

Now, thinking about the efficacy of that miraculous medicine, he can't help but have doubts.

“You’ll find out later,” Lu Mengdi said with a smile.

When Lu's father saw that she refused to talk about it, he didn't press her further.

He knew that the boss his daughter was talking about must be a very important person.

"By the way, the young man who called you this morning..." Mr. Lu thought about the expression on his daughter's face when she answered the phone.

“A former classmate.” Lu Mengdi said calmly.

"Just classmates?" Mr. Lu asked with a smile, but his eyes held a look of inquiry.

Lu Mengdi coughed lightly and abruptly changed the subject, saying, "Dad, come with me this time. My workplace has allocated me an apartment in the city..."

Mr. Lu interrupted, "I already have a new job, right there."

Lu Mengdi was taken aback: "When did this happen?"

“Someone contacted me this morning when you were on the phone with that young man,” Mr. Lu said with a broad smile, in a good mood. “They’re teaching at a newly established college.”

A newly established college?

Lu Mengdi immediately remembered what Lei Yao had said when he called her and understood immediately.

She said with a look of relief, "Then you can finally go back to your old profession."

Before her accident, Lu's father was a teacher in Yancheng.

“Yes,” Mr. Lu said happily, “I still benefited from my daughter’s success.”

Lu Mengdi blinked and asked with a smile, "Dad, are you happy?"

……

“Happy? How could I not be happy?” Guan’s father’s expression was very strange.

Looking at her daughter's confused expression, Guan's mother smiled and said, "Your father has always regretted not having a government job, but now his wish has been fulfilled."

Guan Mi looked at his father in surprise and said, "Did they transfer you here to be the mayor?"

Speaking of which, the state-owned enterprise where Guan's father worked was worth tens of billions, and there were precedents of the top leader being transferred to a local position. However, Guan Mi had some doubts about his father's abilities: "Dad, if you're not capable, you have to say so. Don't force yourself!"

The excitement on Guan's father's face vanished instantly, and he glared at his daughter: "Do you think your father got to where he is today because of connections?"

Guan Mi chuckled but remained silent.

Guan's father snorted.

He thought about it carefully. He had relied on his father when he was young, and now he relied on his daughter. Suddenly, he lost his confidence and his tone became even weaker: "If I didn't have the ability, even if I had connections, I could only reach the middle management level at most!"

“You’re really confused, girl,” Mrs. Guan said, trying to save face for her husband. “Your father’s abilities are obvious to all. His company is full of hidden talents. Not to mention the senior management, even some of the middle managers have connections. How can you question your father?”

Guan Mi was a little embarrassed, but still insisted: "My dad used to manage businesses, after all, and he has no experience in being a mayor..."

After all, she was using Bai Lin's influence to get Director Zhao to do her a favor. If things went wrong, wouldn't that damage Bai Long's reputation?

Before she could finish speaking, Guan's father interrupted her: "Who said I wanted to be mayor?"

“Ah,” Guan Mi was taken aback, “what is that?”

Guan's mother said, "It's a newly established college by the state, and your father is going to be the vice president."

She wore a proud expression and said, "That's at the level of a department head!"

With a reserved expression, Guan's father said, "The academy is not far from here. I am a member of the preparatory team. If I perform well, I may be promoted to executive vice president after the academy is established, which is a vice-ministerial level position."

Thinking of the words "vice-ministerial level," the dissatisfaction on Guan's father's face faded considerably.

His old man hadn't even reached the level of a vice-ministerial level before retirement, and he still kept criticizing him, saying he was useless.

He's not even fifty yet; he'll surpass the old man in no time. We'll see what he has to say then.

Upon hearing this, Guan Mi suddenly realized.

She had heard about the college from Liu Chongyu, but she never expected that her father would be assigned there.

However, given her father's qualifications, he is more than qualified to be a vice dean.

Looking at their daughter's expression, Guan's parents knew that she was fully aware of the affairs of the academy.

The two understood that Guan's father was able to be assigned there because of his daughter's influence.

"Little scatterbrain, do you know who the dean of this academy is?" Guan's mother asked curiously.

The leader who spoke with Guan's father mentioned that Director Zhao would temporarily serve as the Party Secretary for a period of time, but the Dean would be someone else.

Becoming the dean of such an academy is clearly not something that can be achieved through ordinary connections.

The two even had a bold guess: could it be...?

……

"Dean?" Su Nan asked in surprise.

“Yes,” the leader chuckled, “the Divine Dragon Academy is affiliated with the highest administrative organ of the country. The dean is tentatively at the ministerial level, and will later concurrently serve as the secretary, and could be promoted another level…”

His attitude was very kind: "The first batch of students admitted to the academy are all the nation's elite, who will shoulder great responsibilities for the country in the future. If Xiao Su becomes the dean, he will be their teacher..."

After carefully explaining the benefits, he looked at Su Nan and said, "So, how about it? Want to consider it?"

Su Nan declined almost without hesitation: "Thank you for your appreciation, but my abilities are limited."

He knew this was definitely influenced by his brother, but the more that was the case, the more he had to keep a low profile.

The previous kidnapping of his son had served as a wake-up call for him.

The establishment of the Divine Dragon Academy also made him feel a sense of urgency.

He realized that the world was about to change drastically.

The thought that his older brother was the one who caused this change filled him with a deep sense of pride!

The leader in front of him wasn't surprised by his response and said, "You're underestimating yourself by saying that. You've been here long enough, and every comrade has said you're very capable..."

After offering a few words of praise, he changed the subject and said, "Since you're not interested in being the dean, then continue to shine here. However, your rank will be promoted one level at the end of the month."

"Thank you, leader," Su Nan said sincerely.

The leader smiled and said, "A few days ago, a courtyard house was cleared out near Deshengmen. I'll have someone give you the keys later. This is a perk for high-ranking officials."

Su Nan thanked him again, feeling quite encouraged.

This house cleared many obstacles for his cultivation and his future plans.
