Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 539

[Chapter 536: Each of them has unique skills]

“Hello, Superintendent Hu.”

“You are very welcome, Mr. Glamorgan.” Superintendent Hu Xin glanced at the car driving to the parking lot and greeted David in front of him enthusiastically.

In fact, he was very unhappy in his heart. He knew it would be troublesome just by hearing that a noble from the UK was coming to visit the police station.

But the higher-ups have already decided to visit the police station that Hu Xin is in charge of. What can he do? He is also desperate! But no matter how desperate he is, he can’t push away this unfortunate thing, so he can only bite the bullet and take this task.

I just hope that this noble from the UK can be fooled and leave early after taking a general look at what the Hong Kong Police Station is like.

Although Hu Xin felt that there must be something strange about the recent frequent visits to the police station, he was not going to get to the bottom of it.

As for what kind of transactions these people have with the upper echelons? He doesn’t care, and he can’t care.

“This…”

“Oh, this is Miss Ma. Miss Ma’s company has a business recently, so she also wants to come to the police station for a field inspection.”

“So that’s how it is. Since we are all here to visit the police station, why don’t we go together?” David invited Ma Xiaoling very gentlemanly, as if he was a young man who had just met Ma Xiaoling for the first time today and had bad intentions.

“Visiting together can indeed save a lot of trouble, and it also saves Superintendent Hu from running back and forth.” Ma Xiaoling walked down the stairs and accepted David’s invitation.

Hu Xin smiled and nodded, saying that it would be most convenient to visit together. I can serve as a guide for the two of you throughout the whole process, so that no one will be neglected.

However, David noticed that when Superintendent Hu smiled awkwardly, he also revealed a hint of “disdain”, as if he saw through that he knew Ma Xiaoling, and he was like “you just pretend!”

Under Ma Xiaoling’s enthusiastic smile, it seemed that there was also some kind of thought hidden. This scene made David feel more interesting: the three of them were all smiling on the surface, but they were thinking seven or eight things inside, vaguely remembering the days when they used to work.

The days that used to make him feel the most irritable and unwilling to recall have now become memories that can be used as jokes. David couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: I am so idle!

Following Superintendent Hu into the police station, David felt something was wrong as soon as he stepped into the door: the entire police station was secretly filled with a very strange negative energy, which must be the evil spirit suppressed by the police station.

Looking at Ma Xiaoling next to him, the exorcist also frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple, and almost at the same time turned his head to look at David.

The two looked at each other and confirmed each other’s “Taoism” at the same time.

The two of them kept silent and continued to follow Inspector Hu inside. After walking around most of the police station, Ma Xiaoling brought up a topic: “Inspector Hu, I think the structure of this police station seems to be very different from other police stations.”

“Oh, this is because this police station was renovated from an old building, so the internal structure is very different from those newly built police stations. Many places here are relatively old and the layout is relatively outdated.”

At this point, she turned her head and said to David: “It was mainly because the situation was difficult at the time and the finances were not so abundant. The police tried to save money as much as possible.”

According to Inspector Hu, the police’s finances are much more abundant now, and the Police Department is considering completely renovating and rebuilding these old police stations. Police stations like this that are renovated from old buildings will be demolished in the next few years.

“The person in charge of the project came to see it a few days ago and said that it is indeed time for this police station to be demolished.”

A few days ago? Construction team?

David thought that it was probably a master invited by a senior member of the Police Department through personal connections. I wonder what the master would say about this place after returning?

Anyway, in David’s opinion, the negative energy contained in this police station has reached a critical value. It only needs a suitable opportunity to completely break through the masculine righteousness that suppresses it.

He has already come to a conclusion: something is going to happen in this police station!

Not only does he know the plot, but after watching it in person, David feels that even if there is no suitable opportunity, this surging negative energy will not be suppressed. It will not survive this time, but it will not survive the next time.

In fact, if it is suppressed again this time, it will not be a good thing. The threat will be greater when it breaks out next time.

At that time, it will be a complete outbreak. It will be impossible to suppress it again. It can only be completely eliminated from the root.

I just don’t know if there are masters who have such powerful means in this area of Hong Kong? Or do the senior police know such masters? Can they be invited?

Ma Xiaoling looked around, and then while Superintendent Hu and David were talking, she secretly counted with her fingers.

The more she counted, the uglier her face looked. David estimated that Ma Xiaoling might have seen a big problem, but he didn’t know how much she saw.

The police station was not particularly large, so they were soon given a tour. Inspector Hu sent the two back to the gate and watched Ma Xiaoling get into the Rolls-Royce and leave at David’s enthusiastic invitation. Inspector Hu heaved a sigh of relief when he could no longer see the car.

“Alas, we finally sent two more away. I wonder if there will be any weird guys coming tomorrow!” Inspector Hu was very upset, but he had no choice. He decided to vent his anger on his subordinates: “Wu Ying, you are being lazy again!”

“No, Chief, I just happened to go to the toilet.”

“Why are you always going to the toilet? Why don’t you move your desk to the toilet!” Inspector Hu said angrily: “Starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for leading the newcomers to patrol the streets!”

“Ah? No way? Chief, let me lead the newcomers? And patrol the streets?”

“Yes, that’s you!”

…

David opened his eyes and stopped paying attention to the police station after making sure there was no valuable information.

He turned his head and saw Ma Xiaoling staring at him.

“What?”

“What did you find out?”

“Why don’t you tell me what you found out first?” David looked at Ma Xiaoling’s proud expression with her chin raised, and understood her thoughts: “Why? Are you worried that you will tell me first and I will use your conclusion to get the job done?”

Ma Xiaoling didn’t say anything, she did think so.

David smiled and didn’t care about it. He took out his mobile phone and called Hu Huishan.

After Hu Huishan heard that David thought that something would happen in that police station, she asked David to come to the police station directly. Her superior wanted to have a meeting with David.

“Are you going?”

“Of course I will.”

David nodded and told Hu Huishan that he and Ma Xiaoling would go together, and then told the driver to go to the headquarters.

The driver didn’t respond. He followed the eldest lady’s instructions perfectly. Listening to David was like listening to the eldest lady. He did whatever David told him to do.

It was just that after sending David and Ma Xiaoling to the headquarters, the driver reported to the eldest lady about Mr. Glamorgan’s movements…

When they arrived at the headquarters, Hu Huishan met David and Ma Xiaoling at the gate, and then led them to a small meeting room.

“Sir, this is Mr. David Glamorgan and Miss Ma Xiaoling.”

Hu Huishan, who was wearing a police uniform, saluted the man sitting at the head of the long table and introduced their identities. David looked at the man’s shoulder straps – wow, he is the Deputy Commissioner of Police.

“This is Director Zhang.” He

should be the uncle with the highest status in the world of Hong Kong variety shows.

“Thank you for your hard work, please sit down.”

David and Ma Xiaoling greeted the deputy director named Zhang Biao and sat down on the left side of Director Zhang.

Hu Huishan did not come in. After leading David and Ma Xiaoling to the conference room, she went out and closed the door outside.

In the entire conference room, in addition to Director Zhang, David and Ma Xiaoling, there were two other people sitting on the right side of Director Zhang, that is, opposite David.

These two were also a man and a woman, and David had seen the man before.

After the other party saw clearly that it was David, he was also stunned, and then showed a strange expression that he didn’t know whether it was happy or sad, which made David confused: What kind of reaction is this?

Zhang Biao looked around, taking in the expressions of the people, and then pretended that he had not seen anything, and started talking about business directly: “You have all visited the police station, and the four of you here are also the ones who said that something would happen in that police station after visiting, so I invited you here to talk about this matter.” After

hearing this, the few people looked at each other, and then they understood the reason why they were sitting here: there must be more than just these few people who have visited the police station, but the four of them firmly believed that something would happen, so they were invited.

“Why don’t you get to know each other first?”

Zhang Biao did not rush to ask anything, but gestured to the fellows to get to know each other first, and he picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea happily. “My

name is Zhong Fabai.” The oldest middle-aged man looked at the people around him, all of them were young people, so he should speak first! But his introduction was just that, and he didn’t say anything except his name.

“My name is Zhang Lihua.” The beautiful woman with a mature appearance also only introduced her name.

“David Glamorgan.” David followed suit and said nothing more than his name.

“Ma Xiaoling.”

As soon as Ma Xiaoling announced her name, Zhang Lihua on the opposite side immediately showed some surprise: “So you are the descendant of the exorcist Ma family. It seems that this matter can be solved smoothly.”

Ma Xiaoling said a few words modestly, but judging from her expression, she still enjoys this kind of compliment! Her nose is almost touching the ceiling.

However, it is impossible for Ma Xiaoling not to fight back when she was seen through at a glance. She exposed the origins of the two people on the opposite side: “You two are also famous among exorcists. I heard that Miss Zhang is the descendant of Master Zhang Tianshi, and Taoist Zhong is from the Maoshan Sect.”

The two smiled and said nothing, which was regarded as tacit agreement.

Then everyone present, including Director Zhang, stared at David.

“You are all descendants of famous families and have unique skills. It seems that it is not my turn to take action in this matter. Goodbye!”

“…” ×4.
