Chapter 198 Commission from the government, only Xue Jing is qualified (4K)

In the Hidden Dragon Dojo, in the heart-raising room, Xue Jing sat on her knees in a very inconspicuous corner, lowering her head slightly, without leaking any breath from her body.

This corner was the place he subconsciously chose as the 'most suitable hiding place' after he entered the door and looked around.

After [Hide] was activated, he learned this technique instinctively.

In a space, which position has the least obvious lighting, which position is easiest for people to ignore, and which position makes people instinctively not project their vision, he can clearly see it at a glance.

His entire body seemed to have turned into a sculpture that perfectly blended into the entire room, without any sense of inconsistency.

Just like the cardboard boxes placed in the warehouse, the mops and plastic buckets placed in the corner of the toilet, and the books placed on the bookshelf, there is a sense of naturalness that "he originally belongs to this place."

Therefore, Li Qi opened the door of the Yangxin Room and wheeled his wheelchair in. He did not notice at all that there was a disciple squatting in the corner of the room.

Chen Fuguang, who followed Li Qi through the door, naturally didn't notice either.

The two of them started chatting in front of Xue Jing.

"...If we can't find it again, something big will happen. The government is already in a hurry. Chief Councilor Chi Liangyun will retire next year. He just wants a smooth transition. In the past few years, Qingcheng has been basically calm under his control. Although there is no merit, it can be said that there is no fault. Unexpectedly, in the end, it is still..."

Chen Fuguang was reporting something to Li Qi.

Li Qicang's old and cloudy eyes narrowed slightly: "...I know some news. Qingcheng should be a pawn in the fight between the two gangs above. Not only Qingcheng, but also the outer ring of the fifth metropolitan area. Things have started to go wrong in the city more or less recently.”

"The Jinfeng Dojo has been completely disbanded. Most of the direct disciples have been killed by Xiao Jing. Only the old boy Jiao Hongyuan, his eldest disciple Yan Xiangweng and Li Chengxuan are left. I don't know where they are now..."

"It's a bit strange that this kind of city-wide blanket search can't find anything..."

Chen Fuguang thought for a while and said: "Although it is a city-wide search, there are still some places..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qi suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him. He turned his head and looked into the corner, his cloudy old eyes bursting with sharp light: "Who!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw clearly the appearance of the hidden person and was stunned for a moment:
"Xiao Jing?"

Xue Jing glanced at the prompt of [Hidden Experience Points +366] on the panel, stood up, and patted the dust on his knees.

"Master, Senior Brother Chen."

He extended his hand in greeting.

"Junior brother, what are you doing hiding there?" Chen Fuguang scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"... By the way, you hid it really well. Master and I have been here for so long and haven't found it yet."

Xue Jing smiled and said: "I just learned a little about how to hide my own aura, so I just wanted to have fun with it, but I didn't expect that even the master couldn't find me directly."

Li Qi glared at him, "There is no murderous intent or hostility. He is still motionless, like a ghost. I am not a god, how can I see it?"

Xue Jing complimented: "In other words, you are an old god in my eyes."

When Chen Fuguang heard this, he winked and gave Xue Jing a thumbs up to express his admiration.

Li Qi raised his eyebrows, scratched his smooth Mediterranean humbly, and sighed: "I have said that you can't be too honest. You kid, you should stop telling such truths in the future."

Xue Jing imitated him and said, "That's what you always teach me."

After talking nonsense, Chen Fuguang said to Xue Jing: "By the way, junior brother, you came at the right time."

"The dojo has just received a request for you to go. See if you want to go."

Xue Jing asked doubtfully: "Name the commission?"

Since he became famous in the Maple City Knockout Tournament, Hidden Dragon Dojo has received many requests for him to go there, but well... most of the requests have not pure purposes.

Moreover, the reward was not much, so Xue Jing asked the dojo to help him refuse them all.

Now Chen Fuguang said that he had a commission to ask for his opinion, which seemed to be something special.

"Didn't you accept a sparring commission last time? The client this time is the same as last time, and the commission amount is also larger..."

Chen Fuguang explained.

"Last time..." Xue Jing thought for a while before remembering what happened last time.

Previously, Pei Youguang's brother Pei Tiancheng asked him to go to the two brothers' home through a sparring commission, where he came into contact with Bai Ya's mandrill.

So, this time it was also a commission given to him by the Pei brothers?
Xue Jing thought for a moment, took out her cell phone from her pocket, opened her address book, searched for Pei Youguang's name, and made a call.

It was as if he had been holding his cell phone and waiting for his call. As soon as it beeped, the call was picked up immediately.

"Hey, there's light."

Xue Jing said.

"Ah, yes, Brother Jing, it's me."

Pei Youguang's nervous voice came from the receiver.

Xue Jing smiled: "Why are you panicking? Speak calmly."

"I seem to have received a request from you guys here at the dojo. Why, is there anything that I can't just call directly but have to talk about in a roundabout way?"

he asked curiously.

"Brother Jing, it's not me, it's my father who wants to see you." Pei Youguang whispered.

"He said he has something important to ask for your help. He wants to see you, but he can't rush to the door or ask you to come over. He just wants to use the form of entrustment like last time..."

Xue Jing put down her phone, turned to look at Chen Fuguang, and asked, "Brother Chen, how much is the commission over there?"

Chen Fuguang stretched out his index finger: "Ten million."

Xue Jing raised her eyebrows, picked up her phone, and said, "It seems like the matter is very serious."

Pei Youguang said: "I'm not sure, but my dad does seem to be in a hurry."

Xue Jing thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I will go to your house to meet your father in the afternoon, but whether I want to accept this commission or not will be decided after I hear the specifics."

Pei Youguang nodded repeatedly: "This is how it should be...no problem in the afternoon, then I will ask my dad to wait for you at home."

After chatting for a few more words, Xue Jing hung up the phone.

…

In the afternoon.

Xue Jing kept her aura blocked and moved along a route that would not be discovered by anyone as much as possible. She practiced "hiding" all the way and headed towards Pei Youguang's home in Beicheng District.

Today, in addition to his daily martial arts training, he spent almost all of the day training [hiding].

From starting the exercise by teaching the young apprentice after being activated in the morning, to hiding and eavesdropping in the heart-nurturing room.

When arriving at the large villa of Pei Youguang's family, along with the prompt of [Experience Points +311], the hiding level had been upgraded to Lv4 (76/1200).

This skill not only gives him the ability to 'breath block', but also gives him quite powerful space hiding skills.

In addition to this, there is increased control over one's own body, as well as increased sensitivity to the senses - especially hearing and smell. It can be said to be a very useful skill, second only to [Fitness] and [Health Preservation], the first-tier basic skills.

Xue Jing came to the door of the big villa quietly and walked in clearly.

The two security guards at the door were obviously paying attention to their surroundings, but they waited until Xue Jing entered the door and took three steps before they suddenly noticed his presence.

"Eh?"

"Mr. Xue!"

They had met Xue Jing, and Pei Youguang had said in advance that Xue Jing was coming, so they recognized him immediately and greeted him respectfully.

Hearing the movement here, the two people chatting in the front yard immediately looked over.

One of them is Pei Youguang, and the other is a thin middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and a slicked back hair.

"Brother Jing!"

Pei Youguang quickly blinked and signaled to the middle-aged man beside him.

Without any prompting from him, the middle-aged man walked over quickly when he saw Xue Jing, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile:

"Brother Xue, hello, hello. We finally meet. Hey, you are so good-looking. No wonder since you came here last time, I always hear my maid calling your name when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. , I was so scared that I thought they were possessed by evil spirits.”

"But now that I see you in person, I completely understand why they are like this!"

Xue Jing shook hands with him and did not comment on his compliment. He just smiled and said, "You are Youguang's father. Can I call you Uncle Pei?"

The man held his hand and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, of course. Then I will shamelessly take advantage of you and call you Xiao Jing."

The man named Pei Xiaoen has a voice that seems to have been deliberately trained. It is deep and magnetic, and is quite pleasant.

"Come on, Xiaojing, let's go in and talk."

Pei Xiaoen stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

The group of people walked towards the villa. When Xue Jing passed by Pei Youguang, she smiled and reached out to pat his shoulder:

"Let's go. There's light. Let's go in together."

Pei Youguang was stunned and said, "Oh, okay."

Seeing this scene, Pei Xiaoen's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

Then he walked forward a few steps quickly, patted Pei Youguang's shoulder, and said in a gentle tone: "Youguang, go and arrange the tea. Use the tea in the cabinet at the top of my room. It will be brewed and delivered to me later. Come to the study."

I don't know how long it has been since I saw my father treat me with such a gentle attitude. Pei Youguang's rich face showed a flattered look, and he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I understand!"

"Please come this way." Pei Xiaoen turned to Xue Jing to lead the way.

The two of them turned left and right and came to an antique room with four large bookshelves.

After sitting down on the wooden chairs, the two chatted for a while. Pei Xiaoen was very good at chatting. He seemed to know a little bit about everything in the world. He even had a considerable degree of professional knowledge in martial arts. He chatted with Xue Jing in a decent manner, and Always adhering to a certain attitude of asking for advice, Xue Jing's desire to talk was satisfied and she was quite happy.

Xue Jing is somewhat of a talkative person, but facing this Pei Xiaoen, she can't help but secretly sigh.

When Pei Youguang brought two cups of tea in, the two of them tasted the tea for a while. Pei Xiaoen talked about some knowledge about tea in vivid words, and vaguely mentioned how precious the tea they were drinking now was to show their respect for Xue Jing. , and then started talking about business.

"...Xiao Jing, I came to you this time to tell you the truth. There is something very important, even related to the survival of Qingcheng, and I want to entrust you with it."

Pei Xiaoen put down the tea cup and spoke solemnly.

Xue Jing raised her eyebrows: "Please speak."

After thinking about the words for a moment, Pei Xiaoen said:
"I am Chu Minyi, Congressman Chu's secretary. This entrustment to you this time is actually what Congressman Chu meant..."

"Xiao Jing, you should also know that there is currently a 'Tianxiu Insect Mother' in Qingcheng City. After all, you have dealt with the several 'cockroaches' born by the Insect Mother with your own hands."

Xue Jing nodded.

Pei Xiaoen lowered his voice: "In fact, the origin of this Tianxiu insect mother involves quite complicated things. Even I have no way of knowing the specific situation. Regardless of these, the current situation is... we can't find it. Mother of insects.”

"According to the speculation of professionals, after this period of childbirth, the mother of Amelia worms may have given birth to a swarm of Amelia worms that can threaten the entire city..."

"If we can't find it again, the later it gets, the more terrifying the number of insect swarms we will face."

"However, during this period of time, our government has mobilized all the forces that Qingcheng can currently mobilize, launched a carpet-like search, and almost turned the entire city upside down, but still failed to find the whereabouts of the insect mother."

Xue Jing wondered: "Could it be outside the city?"

Pei Xiaoen shook his head: "Although this is indeed possible, if the insect mother wants to achieve the effect that 'certain people' want, its location should not be outside the city."

"If we are really outside the city, then things will be simple. The insect swarm cannot attack Qingcheng head-on."

Xue Jing nodded: "Then what do you need me to do?"

Pei Xiaoen said: "Although we conducted a blanket search, there are still several places that we could not find...or, we could not search."

"That's the home of thirty ruling members in Beicheng District."

Xue Jing raised her eyebrows and said: "This is unlikely, isn't it? These are the thirty people who are most closely connected with the interests of the city of Qingcheng. Would they do such a thing of 'destroying the city'?"

"It is indeed unlikely, but this is the only possibility left. No matter what, it must be confirmed." Pei Xiaoen said.

"Xiao Jing, I know this is a bit overwhelming, but can I ask you to investigate this matter?"

He said pleadingly.

Xue Jing thought for a while and asked, "Why me?"

"Because you are the only one in Qingcheng who has this qualification." Pei Xiaoen affirmed.

Xue Jing was stunned: "Me?"

Pei Xiaoen nodded: "Yes, you are a member of the 'Sixth Organization'. This organization has the privilege of 'kill first and report later'. The ruling members are the highest-ranking people in Qing City, but your words are fully justified in the name of investigating them." point."

Xue Jing scratched his head: "Then you can just find someone from the agency. Why do you have to do it with me... You can't even have this connection."

Pei Xiaoen smiled bitterly and said: "There really isn't one, or in other words, I can't find anyone reliable... Investigating the ruling members is a dangerous thing."

"People in the 'organisation' don't like to pay attention to local government officials like us, especially those with high status and strong power."

"As for you, Xiaojing, although I don't know the specific situation, you are highly rated by the agency and are fully capable of doing this job."

Pei Xiaoen stood up, bowed to Xue Jing, and begged: "Xiao Jing, can you please accept our commission for the sake of Qingcheng and the safety of your hometown?"

Xue Jing looked thoughtful and did not answer hastily. Pei Xiaoen also kept his bowing posture motionless.

After a while, Xue Jing slowly opened his mouth and said: "It doesn't matter if you accept it or not... let's talk about remuneration."
