Chapter 587: Chapter 179: The Congressman Cousin

Jiang Wu raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean, Mr. Lu? I thought you were here to ask about Tang Yinxiao."

"Then tell me, as a seductive woman, is she still alive?" Lu Shuai said, "That person chose me, gave me such great Wish Power, there must be a reason, right? Why not get to know her."

Jiang Wu’s pupils contracted, it seemed everyone underestimated Lu Shuai. He was not just a lovestruck young man.

"Mr. Lu, we mean no harm. I did orchestrate this matter. We, the Night Patrol, specialize in such things. It’s not as complicated as it seems, and some feedback is what you deserve. Of course, if you need our help in the future, we won’t refuse," Jiang Wu said.

Lu Shuai sighed softly, "I’m not the kind of person who acts coy after gaining an advantage. Since Captain Jiang doesn’t want to say, I won’t force you. Where is Miss Tang? Is she still alive?"

"Of course, Mr. Lu, she did go overseas for a mission. Although you know about the seductive woman, you’re unaware of this secret path. After all, there are many variables in the new era," Jiang Wu said, "So, I’m saying sorry on her behalf."

Lu Shuai’s face turned slightly pale, but he smiled, "Thank you."

"Oh, my mind," Jiang Wu said, pulling a bag out of the drawer, "Mr. Lu, here are your five hundred Gold Lira."

Lu Shuai looked at the Gold Lira he once loved, without any emotion, "You keep it for use."

"Mr. Lu, I can’t take this money, or it would be embezzlement and bribery, plus I believe it would be more useful in your hands. We must return things to their rightful owner," Jiang Wu insisted.

Lu Shuai silently took back the money bag, indicating that his entanglement with the Night Patrol and Miss Tang might end here.

Lu Shuai left Shadow Owl, and from the window, Jiang Wu silently watched the bewildered figure of Lu Shuai walking in the street. Meng Po walked up.

"Did he believe it?"

"Perhaps. This is Tang Yinxiao’s wish. We underestimated him. As long as he can rise up, a place in the future Dragon Capital is assured," Jiang Wu said.

"What about Li Yinxiao?"

"Don’t worry about it." Jiang Wu thought for a moment and ultimately said no more.

"Actually, Li Yinxiao is very responsible and quite suitable for the Night Patrol."

Jiang Wu glanced at Meng Po, "He is more capable than you imagine. Everyone has their own path to walk, not a bit left to chance."

Divine Revelation Canon Law School.

Many of the bright young stars learned a hard lesson from someone they often joked about, which added a touch of sobriety to their usual displays of boasting and comparison.

This atmosphere will persist for a while.

Of course, there is one exception, which is Patir, as Justice Daily reported that the "buyer" of Lu Shuai’s ancestral home was none other than the beautiful and kind Miss Patir.

When Lu Shuai encountered difficulties and persistent obstacles, Miss Patir offered her help and extended extremely generous terms, allowing Lu Shuai to redeem at any time. Upon learning the truth, Miss Patir decided to return it without charge and was also willing to contribute.

The Marking Clan is no fool. Although this is indeed a substantial sum, compared to what they gained, it’s certainly worth it. This is not just for Patir to make a splash, but significantly boosting the Marking Clan’s goodwill among the public, which will be beneficial in the future contest for seats in the Upper and Lower Councils.

Patir has overshadowed Feili, even surpassing Ji Mingyue.

It’s not an exaggeration to say she’s riding high on success.

The more glorious Patir becomes, the more awkward Nalan and Feili feel, which disrupts their original plans. They haven’t taken that step yet. After all, they looked down on Lu Shuai the most, now to invite him would seem opportunistic, so they must endure and observe whether there’s a reversal.

Hong Ban doesn’t mind, he has no conflict with Lu Shuai, and sent someone to invite him. Lu Shuai did not put on airs and responded saying he welcomes them at any time.

Since the other party is so on track, he must do it properly, and Patir is interested too. The woman he has his eyes on is extraordinary.

Patir hasn’t invited Lu Shuai yet, but Lu Shuai has already invited Patir.

Still the same café outside the Divine Revelation Canon Law School, the same spot.

Lu Shuai came with five hundred Gold Lira, but Patir didn’t accept it and pushed the house deed back to Lu Shuai.

"I already publicly stated in the newspaper that it’s free, so it must be free. Besides, I’ve already taken advantage, wouldn’t it be a loss if you paid again? After all, it’s the family’s money, you keep it," Patir said with a smile.

Ever since she grew up, the young Miss of the Marking Clan hasn’t been this happy, not because of her surname, not due to her beauty, but because of her kindness and insight. From the Canon Law School to the family, everyone praises her, and that heartfelt admiration and praise are worth more than gold.

Lu Shuai wasn’t polite with Patir. This amount of money would be significant for many nobles, but for the immensely wealthy Marking Clan, it’s not much.

Upon seeing Lu Shuai taking it back, Patir smiled alluringly, "I have to tell you something, although you and Feili are relatives, the Marking Clan and Grand Governor Luthor have a close relationship, we’re family friends, so technically you’re my cousin. I heard you wanted to organize a gathering with Feili, what, am I less attractive than her?"

Patir and Feili are of different types, both equally distinguished, though they seldom spoke before.

"It’s just I’m afraid Hong Ban would fight me to the death," Lu Shuai said.

"He is he, I am I, I’m independent!" Patir said proudly, "Bai Peng always wanted to organize a gathering, you should agree. Even if he wants to invite Feili, I can handle it."

"Then I leave it to you, cousin Patir."

Patir smiled radiantly, the show is about to begin.

"What are you doing later, are you going to Divine Revelation?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Lu Shuai shook his head, "I have to go to the North District to handle something."

"Alright then, Councillor Lu, let’s arrange another meeting," Patir blinked her sensual big eyes, reaching out playfully.

...

Sedate Canon Law School Black Rose Base.

Li Xin had been writing all morning and was called by Bai Peng to Black Rose in the afternoon. Since the last monthly exam at Divine Revelation, he hadn’t appeared for a long time. Actually, the sedate trainees were quite curious about him. He lost to Yan Tianguang, but it was losing to Yan Tianguang, as the number one of the young generation in Dragon Capital, a Preparatory Angel, who could be his match, and quite a few had grievances about Li Xin not being in the Nine Dragons. This is typical bullying from Divine Revelation.

When Li Xin arrived, Bai Peng was training with members of Black Rose. Huerta was there too, the training ground was full of surging Spiritual Ability, Zhuo Yan and Surt couldn’t hide their admiration. Since that previous battle, the captain had noticeably improved by a large margin, seemingly drawing glory from that battle.

It fully demonstrated the quality of that battle. Upon seeing Li Xin, Surt became noticeably more courteous, Zhuo Yan, although somewhat complaining about Li Xin’s frequent absences, also showed a noticeably warmer attitude. Now, Li Xin was the second powerhouse of the Sedate force, alongside Lu Shuai’s even stronger reputation, Sedate’s recognition now only slightly inferior to Divine Revelation.

Of course, everyone also knows they are heading in different directions. After this event, Lu Shuai has effectively stepped onto the path to becoming a Governor, which is the ultimate goal, whereas Li Xin is actually more inclined to join the Night Patrol. Although many believe the Knight’s path is bright, Li Xin commands admiration because Night Patrol is a path few are willing to choose.

When Li Xin arrived, Bai Peng stopped the combat, "You all practice on your own."
