Chapter 353 - Inquisition
When Ling Xiao entered the hall, he saw only one person, who had a dignified expression and was sitting in the most central chair. His gaze was also slowly moving along with Ling Xiao.
The person who was qualified to sit on the chair in the middle, needless to say, was definitely the person in charge. And the person who had the right to sit on the chair in the middle, needless to say, was the person in charge of the conversation, and the person in the room was the leader of the Forwey's escort office, the chief escort, Lin Zhannan.
Lin Zhennan's gaze followed Ling Xiao's movements. When Ling Xiao finally came to a stop, Lin Zhennan also opened his mouth and said: "I never thought that bandit killer, who has an illustrious reputation and causes the bandit to tremble in fear, would actually be so young.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao cupped his fists and laughed: "Boss Lin, you flatter me, I was just passing by. Seeing how evil and arrogant these bandit are, I became excited and did my best to help."
Seeing that Ling Xiao's every move faintly revealed a sense of confidence and aloofness, his tone was calm and tranquility, as if killing so many bandit s was just a small matter.
Others might not know the details, but Lin Zhannan was very clear about it.
Therefore, Lin Zhannan could only choose to give up. Otherwise, if he wanted to completely eradicate these bandit s, he would have to pay a huge price. Although his brothers were all martial artists, they were all people who could earn money to live, so there was no reason for them to follow Lin Zhannan in this chivalrous act, but to die.
Therefore, after the bandit had been robbed three times by him, Lin Zhennan could only give in and take a detour. Although this would increase the time spent escorting them, it would at least ensure the safety of the supplies. If this continued, Forwey's escort office's reputation would be ruined.
But now, these bandit who gave Lin Zhannan a headache were actually all killed by Ling Xiao alone. Even if there were still bandit who survived by luck, they would definitely not dare to continue going back, at least they would not stay where they were at. Otherwise, the miserable fates of those dead bandit s would definitely cause them to be unable to sleep, and their minds would be filled with nightmares.
Therefore, Ling Xiao not only killed all of bandit for the sake of the masses, but he also helped Lin Zhannan and the Forwey's escort office to a large extent.
Therefore, Lin Zhannan looked at Ling Xiao with a particularly gentle and courteous gaze. One must know that with the death of these bandit s, there would no longer be any threat to them, and the operations of the Forwey's escort office would naturally become even more prosperous.
"Great Hero Ling, you are too modest. Young people these days, all of them are arrogant and can't do anything about it. Someone who can achieve such a great accomplishment like yours without boasting at all is someone that would be hard to find in the world." However, Lin Zhannan praised Ling Xiao without any face.
The waiter behind Ling Xiao looked at the originally incomparably imposing Lin Zhannan, who was currently praising Ling Xiao in such a manner without any care for his face, and widened his eyes in shock. At the same time, he was even more certain that he was about to face a miserable punishment.
If Lin Zhannan was already so courteous to Ling Xiao, then wouldn't Ling Xiao believe whatever he said? When that time came, Ling Xiao's casual words would have already taken his life.
Ling Xiao still gave a light smile, and then, shook his head: "Chief Lin, this time, I am not here to ask for meritorious service, or to show off."
Hearing this, Lin Zhennan was startled, then retracted his passionate gaze, and began to re-evaluate Ling Xiao.
It was at this moment that Lin Zhannan saw a person standing cowardly behind Ling Xiao. He was currently bending his head slightly, as if trying to lower the feeling of his own existence.
Lin Zhenan thought that Ling Xiao had something to do, so he said: "Great Hero Ling, if you have anything to say, please say it. As long as it's something I can do, I will do my best."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "Boss Lin is truly straightforward, but right now, I am not here to request for your help, I am here to return this person to you."
Hearing this, Lin Zhannan was puzzled as he asked: "Great Hero Ling, what do you mean by that?"
Ling Xiao did not immediately answer either. Instead, he pulled waiter who was hiding behind him to his front and said: "Speak clearly, do not let me let you down and leave you with your little life."
waiter looked at Lin Zhannan with a face as pale as ashes. The latter still had a puzzled expression and did not know what had happened. However, looking at Ling Xiao's reaction, he should be related to Forwey's escort office.
If not for Ling Xiao, waiter would still be killing people and snatching their goods at the relay station at the entrance of the mountain road like he was doing, and would not have met the Chief Escort who he had always wanted to meet but didn't have the qualifications to meet before.
Especially after being guided by Zhang Xiaolong, waiter had completely understood everything. Actually, the moment waiter and the rest lost that goods, they had already determined their own outcome.
After mustering up the courage, waiter told the whole story to Lin Zhannan. The latter's eyes widened as he listened, and in the end, he directly stood up and strode in front of waiter.
"Are you telling the truth?" Lin Zhannan looked at waiter and asked with a serious expression.
waiter nodded his head, and said: "It is all true, and there is not the slightest lie. If Chief Lin does not believe me, I can tell you the details of the goods in detail."
Lin Zhannan raised his hand and said: "Alright, I believe you, but you have to tell me where those goods went."
The waiter did not expect that Lin Zhannan did not get angry at him and instead asked about the goods anxiously.
That goods had been taken away by the Green Dragon Gang, and then they had been plundered by Ling Xiao. As a result, waiter's gaze involuntarily turned to Ling Xiao.
Seeing that, Lin Zhennan immediately understood and walked in front of Ling Xiao: "Great Hero Ling, please, this goods are very important, it was entrusted to me by a very important customer, and what happened that time had a huge impact on my Forwey's escort office's reputation, at the same time I lost a lot of trust, I thought that this goods would disappear without a trace, but I did not expect myself to meet them, moreover right now in front of me, they are really my luck."
Although Ling Xiao did not know what use this batch of goods had for Lin Zhenan, Ling Xiao did not need it, because what Ling Xiao needed was something that only Lin Zhennan could give him, and that was Lin Zhennan's trust. This was also the reason why Ling Xiao kept waiter's life from the very beginning, since Ling Xiao had long made a plan after discovering some clues at the relay station.
