Chapter 112: The Sincerity of the Yu Family Father and Son
Shen Xueying saved Jiang Chen the opportunity to join the Night Criminal Division with just a few words.
Then, she ordered everyone to clean up the scene and dispose of all the bodies of the dead Zhao Sili and others, and explicitly prohibited anyone from leaking the truth about their murders.
Lu Santong really didn't understand that Shen Xueying would do this for a mere Jiang Chen.
They, the dignified night criminal department, are actually cleaning up the scene for others and covering up the truth. Thinking about it, they are really useless.
But Shen Xueying is currently the most powerful person in the Night Punishment Department. No one dares to disobey the decisions she makes, but it is inevitable that internal suspicions will arise.
"You don't have to have any doubts. I'm just recruiting talents for the Night Criminal Division. People like Jiang Chen are rare. Facts will prove to you in the future that this is the right decision."
Mao Wuying asked: "But in my opinion, he is not very interested in joining the Night Criminal Division. We may not be able to force him to join."
"One moment and another, it all depends on my methods." Shen Xueying's eyes flashed, looking confident.
Jiang Chen and Han Yuyang, who successfully escaped, sneaked all the way back to the rented yard. It was already past noon, and they quickly explained the situation to Wu Yue and Duan Muqing.
After learning that Han Yuyang was being pursued by the Night Punishment Division, Duanmuqing said uneasily: "Since we have been discovered by the Night Punishment Division, we can no longer stay in this place."
"But right now we can't find a completely safe place to go, what should we do?"
The four of them were discussing countermeasures, when an old man in a gray-brown cloth wandered out and struck up a conversation naturally.
"I know a good place to go and keep it so that no one in the city can find you."
Jiang Chen turned his face and looked, wasn't this the old man he rescued that morning?
At this time, the old man had taken a shower and changed into clean clothes. He looked much more energetic. He was completely different from the sloppy old beggar.
"Old man, you can rest for a while, but you can rest assured that even if we plan to move out, you can continue to live here."
"No, I said there is a place suitable for you, do you really want to go and check it out?"
The four people looked at each other and did not take the old man's words to heart. Considering the homeless man's miserable appearance before, the place he introduced was probably under a certain bridge or with some ruins left.
Places like ruined temples.
These places may not be noticed by people, but they are not ideal hiding places, so Jiang Chen and the others just smiled politely and had no intention of listening seriously to what the old man said.
Just as everyone was preparing to escape from here, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Chen looked at Han Yuyang and told him to find a place to hide for the time being, waiting for him to go see who it was first.
Finally, when they walked to the door of the front yard and looked out through the gap, the people standing in front of their house turned out to be Yu Wenshi, the Minister of Punishment, and his son Yu Yuanliang.
"What are these two people doing here?"
Jiang Chen was confused, but he still opened the door and walked out. He vaguely felt that this would be an unexpected opportunity, and maybe the father and son could take advantage of it.
"Are you two looking for me?"
Yu Wenshi kept rubbing his hands, showing a begging attitude, which made Jiang Chen feel more confident.
"Mr. Jiang, you saved my life that day. I haven't had the chance to express my gratitude to you, so I came here today to invite you to my house to express your gratitude."
Yu Yuanliang also changed from his usual arrogant and domineering appearance, and followed behind his father, nodding in agreement.
"I see, then, when will you leave?" Jiang Chen answered simply, even a little impatient.
This reaction made the Yu family father and son feel a bit at a loss. They originally thought that if they wanted to invite Jiang Chen, they would have to spend some time talking, but they didn't expect that it would be so simple.
"It's great that Mr. Jiang is willing to show his favor. Let's leave now!"
Yu Wenshi had already prepared the carriage and was waiting for Jiang Chen to nod in agreement.
"However, I still have a few friends at home, and they are very close friends with me. I can't leave them alone and go to your house to be a guest, right?"
Jiang Chen changed the topic and the purpose behind it was very clear.
"Mr. Jiang's friends are my friends, Yu Wenshi. Please let them go together. I have a banquet at my house tonight. I just hope that Mr. Jiang and his friends can enjoy it."
"Okay, let's leave now."
Jiang Chen took the chance that the Yu family and his son came to the door and brought everyone into the residence of the Minister of Justice.
Han Yuyang didn't say anything along the way, and Yu Wenshi didn't seem to notice that among the distinguished guests he had invited in such a low voice, there was actually a serious criminal that the Criminal Department wanted to arrest day and night.
When they arrived at Yu's house, there was indeed a sumptuous banquet waiting for them.
Yu Wenshi respectfully welcomed Jiang Chen to the main seat and said humbly: "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, I have an unkind request today. I hope you can seriously consider it."
Before he even moved his chopsticks, Yu Wenshi revealed what was in his heart.
"Master Yu is the Minister of Justice, is there anything I can help with?" Jiang Chen asked knowingly.
So Yu Wenshi said that the last time he was targeted by those gangsters, he almost lost his life. Every time he thought about the dangerous experience at that time, he still had lingering fears.
He is now so scared that he dare not go out easily. Even if he stays at home, he feels like someone is hiding in the dark and wants to kill him.
"I have been restless and frightened all day long. If this continues, my body and bones will not be able to withstand it. So I would like to invite Mr. Jiang to live in my house. If you can protect the safety of our family, I will be very grateful."
"Of course, I have prepared ten thousand taels of silver as a reward for Young Master Jiang. I wonder what Young Master Jiang wants?"
On the surface, Jiang Chen remained calm, but in his heart, he had already considered that this matter seemed feasible, but he could not agree easily. There was still a condition that Yu Wenshi should agree to.
He pretended to be embarrassed and remained silent for a long time.
Yu Yuanliang called him together. Because his father had caused such a thing, he also felt that when he went out, someone seemed to be watching him and plotting evil. He was very suspicious all day long.
He asked Jiang Chen: "Brother Jiang, we don't know each other even before we fight. My father sincerely invites you to join the government, so don't refuse, right?"
"If you feel that the conditions are not enough, we can discuss it again."
Jiang Chen took advantage of the situation and said: "I understand what Mr. Yu means, but I am very afraid of loneliness. I need to stay with friends every day so that I don't feel bored."
