Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Lu Jianxun and his adjutant returned to their residence with a lot of anger in their hearts. After venting their anger on the porcelain in the room, they finally calmed down.

"What did the Huo family say?"

"They said we should find a time to talk it over. After all, this is not a small matter."

"It seems that Zhang Qishan is not that powerful. There are still people in the area under his jurisdiction who do not obey him."

"Zhang Qishan doesn't have many people behind him, and he speaks in a very formal manner. His superiors have been laughed at by many people in the same department because of his way of speaking."

Lu Jianxun and his adjutant were both delighted when they talked about some rumors they had heard when they were in the bureau.

After resting for a while, Lu Jianxun went out again with his fake smile on his face.

"Boss, I'm really sorry. Somehow a stray cat got into my room. When we were chasing it, we made a mess of the room. This is my little compensation. I hope you don't mind."

Lu Jianxun walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper who was counting the bill with an apologetic look on his face. He took out a bag of silver dollars from his arms and put it on the counter.

When the shopkeeper saw the heavy bag of silver dollars, he held it in his hands with shining eyes and said repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay, they are all worthless things, why would you need so many."

The shopkeeper said it was okay while putting the silver dollar into his arms.

The guests who were drinking not far from the counter watched the shopkeeper pulling the silver dollars into his arms, and whistled, "Old Qian, you've made a lot of money. Let's go to your house for a drink tonight and ask your sister-in-law to prepare some delicious food."

"Go away, why are you involved in everything?"

"Hey, Lao Qian, you are not very kind. You made money but you didn't treat your brothers to a good meal."

"You little bastard, you come to my house every day to eat and drink for free. Are you addicted to it?"

Shopkeeper Qian laughed and scolded the customer who had spoken.

Lu Jianxun and his adjutant had already left the inn where they were staying and were heading towards the teahouse where they had agreed to meet.

The two of them arrived at the teahouse. As soon as they entered the door, a waiter came to greet them and asked with a nod and a bow whether they had a meeting or wanted to have tea alone.

Before Lu Jianxun could answer, a pretty girl came up behind him and said, "I guess this must be Lu Jianxun, Commander Lu."

"Please come this way. My third wife has been waiting for you here for a long time."

When the waiter saw that they were guests of the Huo family, he tactfully went to entertain other guests.

Lu Jianxun followed the pretty girl up to the second floor. When he pushed open the door of the box and walked through the screen, he saw a girl sitting inside.

The girl had satin black hair fluttering in the wind, slender phoenix eyebrows, a pair of eyes like stars and bright moon, an exquisite jade nose, slightly flushed cheeks, cherry-like red lips, a flawless oval face that was shy and affectionate, smooth snow-white skin with a beautiful complexion, a slim figure, and was refined and elegant.

"There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. One glance from her could bring down a city, another glance could bring down a country."

When Lu Jianxun saw that person, he first praised him, which made the person laugh.

"After meeting Miss Huo, I realized that those women who used to think they were beautiful were just like fireflies and candles. They couldn't compare to Miss Huo's beauty and fragrance, which was as dazzling as a pearl."

"Captain Lu really loves to joke." Miss Huo covered her mouth and watched him say flattering words in front of her.

"If we talk about true beauty, I guess even if all the beauties in China over the past five thousand years were added together, they wouldn't be half as beautiful as Young Master Wan Chong Shan."

"Wanchong Mountain? This is the first time I've heard of it. I've never heard of Wanchong Mountain before coming to Sand City."

It was the first time that Lu Jianxun heard of Wan Chongshan and he looked at Miss Huo with some confusion.

"I wonder if Miss Huo could answer Mr. Lu's questions and tell me what this Wanchong Mountain is?"

Although Miss Huo was puzzled, the person working over there still had the name of Wan Chongshan? I'm afraid it was a fake superior.

"Commander Lu, you don't have to be so polite. I am the third child in my family. The people of Sand City love me and call me Sanniang. My family also calls me Xiaosan. If Commander Lu doesn't mind, just call me Sanniang."

"Then I will obey your orders. Sanniang, you don't have to call me Chief Lu. I just run errands for the big shots above me and do odd jobs. Sanniang, just call me Little Lu."

Lu Jianxun was also trying to take advantage of the situation. When Huo Sanniang heard this, she knew that he was just a cannon fodder and was of no use.

However, since the two didn't say anything, it was probably because they saw that the Sand City was too quiet and the group of dwarfs had started to jump around, so they wanted to use the help over there to kill the group of dwarfs and the self-righteous foreigner.

After Sanniang figured it out, she just put on a show of politeness towards Lu Jianxun. The two of them talked for a long time, and Lu Jianxun finally left feeling satisfied.

After Sanniang and the others left, they had people take all the things used by Lu Jianxun to the back and burn and smash them.

"Sanniang?"

"A fool was tricked by his superiors to be used as cannon fodder."

"Just let him go, don't take it so seriously."

"He has never even heard of the two people from Wanchong Mountain, yet he dares to run to Sand City and even wants to control the entire Sand City? This is just courting death."

"I'm fighting with those two. I don't think my life is too long. My life is too dull. I have to find some excitement."

After receiving the order, the maid took the teahouse waiter to take away all the things that Mr. Lu had just used and replaced them with a new batch.
