Chapter 25: A Call from the Capital

of fear.He clearly didn't expect that the judge merely released a breath of air, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar."Two!" the judge continued counting."Wu Tianquan, I advise you to ap...>

After a few minutes, the Range Rover led the way, followed by the truck, slowly driving towards Qin's neighborhood.

"Commandant…" After the car drove away, Lu Yue wore an expression of wanting to speak but holding back.

"He's not on the front lines anymore, so don't call him General. Just call him Ling Shao like you do with Fatty Shen!" Ling Hao said.

"Then I'll still call you big brother, it sounds more intimate!" Lu Yue smiled.

"Not bad!" Ling Hao nodded slightly and continued, "What were you just going to say"

"I received a call from Ducheng this morning!" Lu Yue's voice was slightly heavy.

"Hehehe, as expected!" Ling Hao said lightly, "What did they say"

"I have some displeasure with your unauthorized absence. You are to return to the West Territory within three days!" Lu Yue took a deep breath and continued, "Otherwise, your title of Western King will be revoked!"

"Perfect!" Ling Hao said with a nonchalant expression.

"Please draft a resignation letter for me and send it. Just say that I am resigning from all positions at the company due to personal reasons!"

Yikes!

Lu Yue slammed on the brakes with one foot.

"Brother, you're taking this joke a bit too far!"

"If Qinglong and his three buddies knew you quit, they'd definitely drop everything and come after you!"

"Even, the entire Blood Shadow Squad is estimated to resign!"

"They dare!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice.

"Tell them to stay in the West Territory, obediently. Without my permission, they dare not leave their post, or they'll come face me!"

"Big brother, you're not serious, are you" Lu Yue turned his head to look at Ling Hao.

"Don't you think I'm serious" Ling Hao glared at him.

"But..." Lu Yue took another deep breath.

The one from the Imperial War Department is, because of health reasons, has been in a semi-retired state for the past two years. It is said that the higher ups intend to select someone from among you five Kings and Dukes to replace him.

"...If you resign now..."

"I heard about this from my grandfather a long time ago," Ling Hao interrupted.

"I quit my job because I want to spend more time with Ruru and Yuxin. I owe them so much!"

On the other hand, precisely because of the reason you mentioned, I have absolutely no interest in that position. Let them four struggle with it!

"For me, freedom from official duties is bliss!"

"Understood!" Lu Yue nodded thoughtfully, then spoke.

It is said that the one in Zhong District has always had a grudge against you, having repeatedly complained to the capital and privately won over those from Bei Jing and Nan Jing. You should be careful!

"Heh heh, those who can't make it on stage, let them go!" Ling Hao smiled faintly: "They can't come up with anything interesting!"

"He's a member of the royal family, and many people in the capital support him. If he really wanted to go against your older brother, I'm worried…" Lu Yue continued.

"Don't worry about it!" Ling Hao interrupted him again, his eyes flashing a hint of ferocity: "He better watch himself, or else, I won't mind tearing down his nest!"

"Alright!" Lu Yue's mouth twitched.

"By the way, how is Zheng Dongyang from the Eastern Border doing" Ling Hao thought for a moment and asked again.

"Not optimistic!" Lu Yue shook his head.

"After the last battle, he was severely wounded by the enemy. It is said that his cultivation level dropped sharply, and with his advanced age, it is unlikely that he will be able to return to his post."

"If you have time, give him a call and see if he's in Dongzhou. If he is, I'll go visit him." Ling Hao said after a moment of thought.

"Received!" Lu Yue nodded in response, then paused for a moment before continuing, "Big brother, if you resign from your position in the camp, what about the Shadow Gate's position"

Similarly, I leave it to the higher-ups to decide. If they are willing to let me continue managing Shadow Gate, I will not refuse! Ling Hao responded in a deep voice.

"If you believe I am not capable, resign at any time!"

"Received!" Lu Yue nodded solemnly.

After a slight pause, he continued, "By the way, Big Brother, I heard that someone in the capital is looking into your background!"

"Let them investigate however they like! " Ling Hao's brow furrowed.

"A bunch of people who don't do any real work are just clowns. They can't do anything else besides causing trouble!"

"Well, that's true. They would go crazy if they didn't stir up some trouble being idle all day!" Lu Yue nodded in response.

After chatting for a while longer, Lu Yue drove his car into an old residential area.

After entering the residential complex, the two noticed that a large red character for "demolish" had been painted on the exterior walls of all the buildings.

In the open space of the neighborhood, several elderly people were gathered together, discussing something in hushed tones. Their faces were etched with worry and they sighed heavily.

"Dad!"

Ling Hao and the other person stopped their car in front of Building 8. As soon as they got out, a petite figure ran towards Ling Hao.

"RUI RUI, do you miss daddy!" Ling Hao bent down and picked up RUI RUI, spinning in place several times.

"Of course, Ruo Ruo wanted her father…" Ruo Ruo's tears wet Ling Hao's shirt.

"Dad wants to join too!" Ling Hao's eyes turned red at the same time.

Qin Yuxin, standing not far away, watched this scene unfold, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

This scene, it had appeared in her dreams countless times.

She longed for Ruru to have a strong and capable father who could support her, so she would no longer be ridiculed as an illegitimate child.

She has had this dream for five years!

"Ruru, Daddy bought you many toys. Let's go see them"

In a moment, Ling Hao walked toward the truck in the back with Ruo Ruo in his arms.

"Really That's great, Ruirui has a new toy again." The little kid beamed.

After the two entered the compartment, Rui Rui saw toys everywhere. She raised her little hand to rub her big eyes and shouted loudly.

"Dad, are all these toys for RuiRui"

"That's right!" Ling Hao smiled and said, "Does Ruirui like it"

"Love it, of course I love it!" Ruirui danced with glee and looked at Qin Yuxin: "Mom, come and see, Dad bought me so many toys!"

At this time, Qin Yufen also walked out of the unit door and hurried to the carriage.

"Goodness gracious!" Looking at the whole car full of toys, her sexy little mouth was wide open enough to fit two eggs.

"Brother-in-law, are you a sudden millionaire"

When Qin Yuxin heard her address, she originally wanted to retort a few words, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Then, he walked up and looked at the mountain of toys. His mouth twitched several times.

What a father's love is like a mountain!

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just then, a sound of footsteps arose. Ten or so tattooed men walked over here.

Upon seeing the Qin Yu Xin sisters, each man's eyes gleamed with predatory intent.

"You must be the owners of apartment 303, right I've been waiting for you guys for ages!" The first bald man's eyes raked over Qin Yuxin lasciviously.

"Daddy, are they bad people Ruirui is scared..." Looking at the group of people, Ruirui hugged Ling Hao tightly.

The incident in Yun Cheng left her with psychological trauma. Now, she trembles all over when she sees someone with an unfriendly face.

"Ruer, don't be afraid. With Dad here, no one will ever bully you again." Ling Hao spoke softly, then looked at Qin Yufei.

"Xiaofei, please take Ruirui home first. I'll be up in a moment with Yuxin."

"Hmm!" Qin Yufei nodded and took Rourou from Ling Hao's arms, walking towards the hallway.

"What's the matter with you" Ling Hao then looked at the bald man and asked.

"We bought your house. Take the deed with you and let's go finish the paperwork!" The bald man licked his dry lips.

"What does that mean" Qin Yuxin frowned slightly on the side.ig brother, how is your injury recovering Is there really no way to heal in a short time""If all else fails, why not visit the Xuánmen Have those old monsters join forces and take a look at you. They'...
