Chapter 156 Something Happened to Po Xie Si

The pig-faced man sized up Chen Xiao blankly, seemingly unaware of Chen Xiao’s existence.

At this moment, the donkey-faced man next to him whispered Chen Xiao's identity into his ear.

"So it's him!"

The pig-faced man suddenly understood, but his expression didn't reveal the respect it should have; instead, there was a hint of disdain.

"Since it's him, let him follow from the side. But make it clear to him that he's only assisting our work!"

The pig-faced man ordered the donkey-faced man around, sounding very official.

He was clearly less than a meter away from Chen Xiao, and could have spoken to Chen Xiao directly.

Yet he insisted on having the donkey-faced man relay the message, as if Chen Xiao wasn't worthy of talking to him directly.

"Ahem, our Team Leader Wang said..."

The donkey-faced man coughed twice and was actually going to repeat the pig-faced man's words to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao remained calm and raised a hand, saying, "You don't need to repeat it; I heard."

He didn't get angry on the spot, because he felt that something must be wrong here.

Chen Xiao knew that his reputation had already spread throughout the entire Po Xie Si (Demon Subduing Division).

Even Xiao Tian Ce, the superior of Po Xie Si, was respectful to him.

Yet this small team leader dared to act presumptuously in front of him, which was clearly strange.

In the end, Chen Xiao followed the Po Xie Si team into the Blue Star Steel Factory.

"You two, go investigate the case. Report any discoveries to me immediately!"

After entering the steel factory, the pig-faced man began to order Chen Xiao and Luo Qian around, acting as if he was the commander-in-chief.

"What about you?"

Luo Qian asked, unconvinced.

"How dare you talk to Team Leader Wang like that?"

Before the pig-faced man could speak, the donkey-faced man scolded her first.

"Team Leader Wang and I naturally have our own matters. You're just a small member, do your own job well. It's not your place to interfere with what we do!"

Luo Qian was angry, but Chen Xiao pulled her arm and winked at her.

Seeing this, she didn't say anything more and walked away with Chen Xiao.

Once Luo Qian and Chen Xiao left, the pig-faced man said to the donkey-faced man, "Let's go find a place to smoke a cigarette and take a break. I guess that girl won't find anything anyway; in the end, we'll still have to rely on the two of us!"

"Of course, but I'm just assisting you; it mainly depends on you!"

The donkey-faced man said flatteringly.

The pig-faced man's face was full of smugness; this was what a subordinate should say!

............

On the other side, Chen Xiao and Luo Qian had already arrived in the factory area. Chen Xiao cut to the chase and said, "Tell me, what happened to Po Xie Si?"

Luo Qian looked at Chen Xiao in surprise, "Brother Chen, how do you know something happened to Po Xie Si?"

"Nonsense, the fact that such trash can lead you is enough to explain the problem, isn't it?"

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes directly.

"Brother Chen, you're the best, with your discerning eyes..."

Luo Qian gave Chen Xiao a thumbs up.

"Stop!"

Chen Xiao quickly interrupted her, "Have you been assimilated by them? How come you've also learned to flatter?"

"They're flattering, but what I'm saying is the truth!"

Luo Qian said seriously, "But Brother Chen, you guessed right. Something did happen to Po Xie Si. In fact, it's not just Po Xie Si that's having problems; the entire Tian Ce Army is in trouble."

Chen Xiao frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with Xiao Tian Ce?"

"Xiao Junshen (Army God Xiao) is no longer in charge of the Tian Ce Army."

Luo Qian sighed and explained.

"The higher-ups sent someone else to be the supreme commander of the Tian Ce Army. Xiao Junshen is still nominally the deputy commander, but his power has been hollowed out. At least our Po Xie Si has been reshuffled from top to bottom. Many leadership positions have been filled with the new commander's people, including these two team leaders and deputy team leaders, who are also new."

"They don't have the slightest ability to handle affairs; all they know is how to flatter and form cliques... Sigh, I'm even considering resigning and changing jobs."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was stunned, "Why? Xiao Tian Ce was doing so well, and he has such a high reputation, how could he be demoted and his power hollowed out?"

"I'm not very clear about this either. After all, I'm just a small soldier at the bottom, too far away from their level. I just heard that Xiao Junshen seemed to have made a mistake in command, which led to the death of many people in the Tian Ce Army. Then, some people with ulterior motives used this to attack and impeach him in the court, and that's how it ended up."

Luo Qian said with a pout. Although what she heard was just rumors, the fact that the rumors could reach her meant that they had a certain degree of credibility.

Chen Xiao suddenly thought of something, and he asked, "When did this happen?"

"Hmm, let me think..."

Luo Qian scratched her head with one finger, pretending to be thinking, "About half a month ago, maybe."

"Half a month..."

Chen Xiao was almost certain that Xiao Junshen's so-called command error was caused by the demonic beasts in the Northern Border.

After all, the demonic beasts were fierce, and if caught off guard, there could easily be heavy losses.

However, Xiao Junshen didn't mention this when he last met Chen Xiao, probably because he didn't want to put too much pressure on Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao decided that when he had the opportunity, he would definitely ask about this matter in detail.

With his achievements in killing the Japanese Emperor, he believed that the high-level officials in the court wouldn't completely disregard his face.

"Okay, I understand. You don't need to resign; I'll take care of this matter."

Chen Xiao said casually.

As if this was just a trivial matter that he could easily handle.

If someone else said this, Luo Qian would definitely not believe it at all and would even laugh at the other party for talking nonsense.

But when Chen Xiao said this, she believed it!

Completely, absolutely, and wholeheartedly believed it!

"Brother Chen, I believe you can definitely solve it, but before that, there's one more thing I want to ask you to help with."

Luo Qian said suddenly.

"Oh? What is it? Just tell me."

"Brother Chen, can you save Chi Hao?"

"Chi Hao? What happened to him?"

Chen Xiao was originally planning to ask Luo Qian how Chi Hao had been recently.

Now, hearing her words, it was clear that Chi Hao had run into trouble.

"Chi Hao has been arrested by them."

Luo Qian said with a pout, "They said Chi Hao isn't human, that he's an evil being, and that the purpose of our Po Xie Si is to deal with evil beings like him!"

"Are you referring to that donkey and that pig?"

Chen Xiao asked.

Luo Qian didn't react at first, but after a few seconds, she finally understood.

She had to admit, Brother Chen's description was both vivid and profound.

"Yes, yes, yes, those two beasts, the one surnamed Wang and the one surnamed Zhang, they colluded with each other and covered the sky with one hand, turning the Jiangcheng branch of Po Xie Si into a mess!"
