Armor: I can only summon the general
Chapter 743 Gathering in City D
In the conference room, President Xie, who was sitting at the top, took the printed paper in his hand and pointed at Xi Zhao's portrait on it and showed it to the other two.
"Do you think he is a member of the Armor Heroes?"
"What! He's the Armor Hero?"
"What made you think it was him?"
Both of them looked shocked, but Mr. Xie just smiled and nodded.
"A gangster boss emerged out of nowhere, took over the territory but did not engage in illegal activities. Others set up security companies to hire thugs, but he had people patrol the streets.
There was little evidence of him in the first half of his life, but now he has become a sensation and accomplished such a great cause. Such a strange man happened to appear at this critical juncture. Have you never suspected that he has another identity?"
"Isn't this... a bit far-fetched?"
The middle-aged leader said with some hesitation.
The leader on the opposite side was also full of confusion, but he didn't say anything. He just thought about other things related to Xizhao in his mind.
After a while, President Xie broke the silence in the conference room again.
"In short, regardless of whether he is an Armor Hero or not, we should help people like him.
At this critical time when monsters are lurking, anyone who contributes to regional stability should receive our support.”
"Understood, Mr. Xie. We will keep an eye on it."
Both leaders expressed their agreement, and then General Manager Xie continued to give instructions for the next step.
"At present, our focus is still on the investigation of the case. The protesters should also try to remain calm, pay attention to their working methods, and never intensify the conflict.
I believe you have heard the news that the National Piano Competition will be held in our city soon, which will be another daunting test for us.
For this purpose, I specifically applied to my superiors to borrow more personnel from sister units. At the same time, I will also let the Special Police Corps serve as a mobile force to escort this national competition.
The next period of time may be very difficult to endure. Especially at times like this, we must be more vigilant. I hope everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties. "
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
The two leaders stood up and answered at the same time, then left the meeting room at the signal of Mr. Xie and returned to their respective posts to continue working.
After the two left, Mr. Xie picked up the printed paper in his hand again and his eyes stayed on Xizhao's photo for a long time.
…………
The next day came, and it was finally a working day. Immediately, more than half of the people marching in the streets were gone. Although there were still a few people taking to the streets with flags and cheering, the scale was far less than that of the previous two holidays.
As the number of marchers decreased, the number of police officers required to maintain order also decreased, allowing them to focus all their energy on investigating the case.
The disturbances outside did not affect the armor's summoning of people. Xizhao and Anmice were still guarding Huahe day and night, waiting for him to wake up, and the others were also doing their own things.
Dongshan was working while trying to restore public opinion on the Internet, Kunzhong was reviewing while patrolling the streets on his bike, and Xinnan was practicing the piano while helping his family run the dumpling restaurant.
Bei Kai would come to the base from time to time, but he was never able to integrate into the team, so he would leave soon.
Qiao Shefei stayed in the bookstore, guarding Hua He's only asset, while Hua He was still sleeping in the testing room, with no intention of waking up, which made everyone else very worried.
…………
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was the day before the National Piano Competition. Xinnan did not continue to stay in the dumpling restaurant to practice piano, but went to the beach to relax.
Feeling the blowing sea breeze, Xinnan felt very peaceful. Although he was not sure of winning the final victory, he also found the courage to fight to the death on the battlefield and could face tomorrow's game calmly.
After a while, he heard a noise coming from afar, so he slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the distant sky. Although the sun was shining brightly above his head, the sky in the distance was pitch black, as if dark clouds were about to cover it.
The sound of a motorcycle engine slowly approached and stopped behind Xinnan. He looked back and found that the two people had parked their motorcycle right next to him. It seemed that they were coming for him.
After the two car owners took off their helmets, Xinnan quickly recognized them. They had been reported in magazines many times in the past two days.
Xinnan knew at a glance that the other party was looking for him, so he took the initiative to step forward and greet them.
"You must be the champions of the East and South regions, Zhang Lu, Wang Yin, nice to meet you."
As he said that, Xinnan took the initiative to extend his hand to Zhang Lu, who was closest to him.
Seeing Xinnan's confident look, Zhang Lu's eyes flashed with approval, and he took Xinnan's hand and shook it gently.
"I've heard of your name a long time ago, and today we finally meet. You are worthy of being the top of the six provinces in the northern region. You really live up to your reputation."
As expected of the champion of the six southern provinces, he was very good at speaking polite words. Xinnan couldn't help but admire him. He might not be able to say such words fluently even after practicing for several days in advance, but he could say them fluently. How amazing.
After the two of them had their business talk, Xinnan extended his hand to Wang Yin who was standing beside him.
Different from Zhang Lu's superficial politeness, Wang Yin also had a smile on his face, but it looked fake at first glance.
"Nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to your performance in the competition."
Xinnan exchanged a few meaningless words with the two of them, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a Hyundai Santa Fe driving over and gradually slowing down, seemingly heading for him.
Sure enough, after the car stopped, a handsome young man opened the door and walked out. It was Yang Jun, the champion of the Western Six Provinces, who was known as a "natural pianist."
Xinnan had seen Yang Jun a long time ago, but he didn't recognize him at that time. Yang Jun also specifically reminded Xinnan of the changes in the competition system, which made Xinnan have a good impression of him.
Yang Jun walked straight up to Xinnan, who smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with him.
"Hi, Xinnan, long time no see. I haven't had time to congratulate you since the last game. I didn't expect that we would be competing again so soon."
"Come to think of it, I should thank you for the last match, but we never had the chance to meet. This time, I'm finally going to fight you."
The two of them were like good friends who hadn't seen each other for years, which made Zhang Lu and Wang Yin feel a little redundant.
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are really rude. You talk as if you two are the only two participating in the competition." Zhang Lu said somewhat indignantly.
Wang Yin also echoed, "It is a taboo in military strategy to underestimate the enemy."
In response, Yang Jun simply smiled, showing the grace that a pianist should have.
"There are no enemies. We are just gathering together to learn from each other. Don't take it so seriously."
Seeing that they were about to have some minor unpleasantness before the game, Xinnan, as the host, quickly stepped forward to negotiate a draw.
"It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together before the game, so I'll treat you to some dumplings. My dumplings are very special, and I guarantee they're delicious and you've never had them in a big city."
At Xinnan's strong invitation, the three of them politely accompanied him to the dumpling restaurant, ready to try the D City's specialty, the Happy Dumplings.
