Chapter 506: Smiling Through the Seasons, Riding the Waves of Madness [Part 2]

This was the first time An Ruo Xing had seen Fang Che acting so obsequiously, and it made him extremely uncomfortable.

He suddenly coughed and sprayed out a mouthful of tea. Wiping the table with a cloth, he said, "Don't put on an act in front of me. Zhao Zongzhang was scolded by so many people in front of you, and now he's almost been scolded into depression by you. But when you come to me, the Deputy Governor General, you put on this act of being a good grandson. Who are you trying to impress?"

"You're deliberately trying to provoke a fight between Zhao Shanhe and me!" An Ruo Xing cursed.

"No, no, I truly respect the Deputy Governor," Fang Che said.

"Besides, you know that Zhao Zongzhang is just acting..." Fang Che chuckled.

"Speak quickly, and stop wasting my time!"

An Ruo Xing impatiently said, "I'm busy! Every day I have to appease you, and now I have to appease your teacher too!"

"It's like this. Our squad doesn't have a clerk yet, right?"

Fang Che's face lit up.

"Oh? Are you saying you'll assign one in the next few days?" An Ruo Xing looked at him in confusion.

"Well, it's not that I'm not familiar with it... It's also quite difficult, and I don't feel at ease..." Fang Che explained.

An Ruo Xing immediately understood what he meant.

So this kid had other ideas?

Leaning back in his chair, An Ruo Xing said lazily, "Do you have someone in mind?"

"How about my wife, Ye Meng?" Fang Che suggested.

An Ruo Xing choked again, "You're actually here to ask me to find work for your wife?"

"How can you call it finding work? Clearly, both of us want to contribute to the safety of the continent..."

Fang Che chuckled, "And for this kind of matter, it's just a word from the Deputy Governor..."

An Ruo Xing angrily said, "You still want to open a shop in the Patrol Hall? No way! Forget about that idea."

Fang Che frowned, "I don't want that either, but the situation is different now."

"How is the situation different?"

"It's like this. I've found a clue about the Green Dragon Gang."

An Ruo Xing immediately became excited, "Tell me in detail!"

"It's like this. Today..."

Fang Che told the story of the little beggars and said, "...So now, I've arranged for these nine kids to stay in my dormitory at the Patrol Hall."

"..."

An Ruo Xing was a little surprised. So he had adopted them?

"They need someone to take care of them."

"..."

"And my wife is currently unemployed and has no income. Our family is facing financial difficulties, and she needs to work to earn some money to support the family..."

"You're talking nonsense!" An Ruo Xing snapped.

"Get lost, you donkey's head! Speak properly."

An Ruo Xing slammed the table, his heart sour with anger. "Your family is facing financial difficulties. Do you want me to apply for poverty relief for you?"

"As long as you, the Deputy Governor, dare to give it, I dare to take it!"

"Cut the crap and get to the point!"

"Yes, yes, Deputy Governor. You see, our work is also special. If an outsider becomes the clerk, we won't feel at ease. There are too many secrets, and they're not suitable to be made public... Plus, with the young masters of the seven great families gathered here, think about it, who among ordinary people could control these young masters? Apart from my wife, who else is qualified? My wife is their elder sister-in-law, and as the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother..."

"So I'm not being selfish here. I'm considering the overall situation for us..." Fang Che said.

An Ruo Xing muttered, "Your mouth is so convincing, I'm almost persuaded... Keep going."

"If she's trained here, then when I take up a position elsewhere, bringing my wife along will be like bringing an assistant. It'll save countless troubles."

Fang Che tried to persuade him earnestly.

"One more sentence and I'll be convinced," An Ruo Xing said, stroking his chin.

"Besides, Ye Meng is still wearing the wedding gift you gave us. It's said to be your family heirloom. In that case, am I not a member of your family? And if I'm a member of your family, isn't my wife your niece? What's wrong with an elder in the family arranging some benefits for his niece?"

"Approved!"

An Ruo Xing's face lit up, and he laughed heartily, "No need to say more, it's approved! I'll handle it for you!"

"Great!"

Fang Che was overjoyed, "The Deputy Governor truly sets an example of using power for personal gain... No, no, I spoke wrongly. The Deputy Governor is indeed a good example for us as a couple."

An Ruo Xing felt very happy and didn't mind his blunt words. He proudly said, "I, An Ruo Xing, am indeed using power for personal gain. Who dares to say otherwise?"

"Well done!"

Fang Che cheered.

In his heart, he thought, 'Ninth Young Master, I'll strip you of your human skin!'

An Ruo Xing immediately took a pen and wrote the special recruitment forms, simultaneously signing the appointment letter for the clerk of the Sixth Squad.

The sound of the stamp being pressed was clear and eye-catching.

"Take this. You need to go to the Finance Officer to register. From now on, your wife is officially a Guardian Officer."

"Such great kindness..."

"Get lost!"

An Ruo Xing kicked Fang Che out.

Fang Che quickly got up and went to handle the paperwork.

After finishing the paperwork, he returned just in time for the collective shift change.

Fang Che walked towards the crowd of people on duty, his head held high and his steps confident, exuding official dignity.

I even arranged work for my wife.

From now on, my wife will be working as a clerk.

As the saying goes, when there's work, the clerk does it, and when there's nothing to do...

Ahem!

This kind of thing, it's best to keep a low profile!

"Greetings, Captain Fang!"

"Is Captain Fang still on duty?"

"Captain Fang!"

Many people greeted him as they passed by. Although they all wanted to show respect and keep their distance from this captain who held the power of life and death, they couldn't neglect the surface formalities.

If he holds a grudge, it's all over.

Captain Fang waved with a smile, "Peace be with you all. Congratulations on your shift change. Oh, you all go back to your warm families, enjoy the bliss of family life. It's truly enviable; I'm so envious of you. Alas, I'm new here and don't even have a place to stay yet. It's truly sigh-worthy..."

The patrol officers quickly left, their faces as red as jujubes.

Even those who walked slowly were afraid of getting splashed with his obnoxious aura.

Who doesn't know that this Phoenix Slope is his purchase? Motherfucker, a 220-acre estate, and he still has the nerve to say he doesn't have a place to stay... How big are your feet? Are you planning to cover Donghu Continent?

Dealing with this jerk, they should investigate his unexplained wealth!

But everyone knew it was a lost cause. As a high-ranking warrior, he lived frugally, and even his cultivation resources were scarce.

However, compared to the secular world, acquiring money was not difficult.

It could even be considered easy.

If he sold the spirit crystals he usually cultivated, even the lower-grade ones, each one would fetch a hefty sum! After all, for ordinary people, these are precious items that can prolong life when worn on the body!

Money, what's that? Just considering Captain Fang's current wealth, not to mention anything else, the eight thousand top-grade spirit crystals he won in that battle alone could buy countless Phoenix Slopes! And this is just the known wealth; who knows how much more is hidden.

Investigating a high-ranking guardian's gold and silver assets is pure stupidity.

Only an idiot would have such a thought of 'unexplained wealth.'

The crowd vanished in a whoosh.

Captain Fang, who hadn't had his fill of showing off, felt a bit dissatisfied.

Soon, another voice called out, "Hey, isn't that Captain Fang?"

Captain Fang waved and turned, saying, "Ahaha, I'm so envious of you..."

Turning to look, it was actually Squad Leader Zhou Quanfu.

This motherfucker is both a creditor and an enemy.

Captain Fang turned to leave.

"Hey, you motherfucker, stop for me!"

Zhou Quanfu hurried to catch up and blocked his way, "Captain Fang, you may not respect me as your leader, but at least return that book you sent Mo Gan Yun to steal from me! I bought that book with real gold and silver!"

"Leader, as a superior, you can't make groundless accusations and slander your subordinates. How did Mo Gan Yun, such a simple and honest kid, become a robber in your eyes? If this gets out, how will your kid find a wife in the future? Your reputation will be ruined!"

Captain Fang glared, denying and counterattacking.

Zhou Quanfu was furious, "Motherfucker, you care about your reputation? I don't give a damn? After being beaten by a subordinate and kicked in the groin for two days, do I still have a reputation? Cut the crap, hand it over!"

"I don't have it!"

Captain Fang was determined not to return it.

Although he had finished reading it and left it there, returning it would only solidify the crime of his squad. He wouldn't give it even if he threw it away!

Zhou Quanfu pointed at him, "Fang Lao Liu, you motherfucker, you'll eventually fall into my hands..."

He turned and left.

"Hey, hey..."

Captain Fang hurriedly stopped him, a mysterious look on his face, "Leader, I can't give you the book, but there's a merit you might want..."

Zhou Quanfu's spirits lifted, "Merit?"

Damn, it's been a while since I earned merit!

"Of course!"

"What merit?"

"Hehe, come closer and listen... Tonight... Late at night... We'll have dinner together, and it'll be like a bribe from a subordinate to the leader." Captain Fang explained.

"Nonsense! You think I don't know you eat for free this lifetime? What bribe? What are you paying with? Is it even your money?!"

Zhou Quanfu's anger was evident.

"Hey, don't be so sensitive about the details. The key is after dinner... After dinner, we'll gather some men and... Like this, like this, like this... Our merit will be within reach."

Captain Fang enthusiastically added, "Leader, if it were anyone else, I'd be the only one enjoying the merit. When it's within reach, why let it go to waste? It's not like I'm sharing with strangers."

Zhou Quanfu was genuinely moved, "If this isn't true, I'll have you removed!"

Captain Fang spoke with conviction.

"I don't have the authority to remove you... Motherfucker... Is this really true?"

Zhou Quanfu was genuinely considering the idea.

To make this plan perfect, they needed to mobilize five squads...

Then Zhou Quanfu realized, "Hmm, why five squads... Oh, I get it."

Gazing at Fang Che's face, he couldn't help but feel a surge of chest tightness.

I had fought tooth and nail to snatch this small team from the hands of several other squad leaders, only to find out it was an unworkable hot potato!

I thought I had struck a great deal, but it turned out to be a significant loss in strength.

A well-structured six-squad formation was reduced to five squads!

Just thinking about it made his liver and lungs ache.

But now, there was an opportunity to make a name for himself...

Zhou Quanfu's face alternated between gloom and cheer, and he finally stomped his foot, "Fine, let's do it this way."

"Yes, Squad Leader, you might as well come back with me, and we can have dinner together tonight. You also need to deploy troops and assign tasks..."

"Yes, good!"

The words 'deploy troops and assign tasks' made Zhou Quanfu feel exhilarated, and he followed Fang Che back, "Not bad, for such a big operation, I really can't leave. It looks like I'll have to eat with you guys tonight. Haha..."

With food, drinks, and the prospect of merit, Zhou Quanfu's future seemed bright, and his mood instantly improved.

Seizing the moment, Fang Che continued, "Then... besides you, who else can be so upright and just? If others want to eat with me, I won't let them... Squad Leader, where is your office? Oh, it's over here... Come, come, here's a form for you to sign..."

Zhou Quanfu signed and stamped the form in a daze before realizing, "You've assigned an internal clerk? Tsk, who is this Ye Meng? The name is quite nice, very poetic."

"Yes, hahaha, she's my wife."

"..."

Zhou Quanfu was utterly flustered, and it took him half a day to recover, "You actually recruited your wife? Made her a formal Guardian officer? You..."

"It's still the Squad Leader's signature. If you didn't sign, it wouldn't be valid, right?"

"Damn it... Give it to me! Give me that form!"

Zhou Quanfu was on the verge of a breakdown.

My wife is still a temporary worker, why is yours already an officer?

And they even opened a couple's shop...

This bastard took my spot, doesn't listen to my commands, weakens my strength, sends people to snatch my books, hits my crotch, has more authority than me, and doesn't give me any respect. But I actually gave him the green light and helped him pull off such a big move!

Am I brain-damaged?

Fang Che had already put away the form, "Squad Leader, look at yourself, being an upper-level Guardian officer and lacking such grace... Alright, I'm leaving, I have other matters to attend to."

"Is the night operation real or are you just messing with me?" Zhou Quanfu chased after him and asked.

"It's real! I'm not lying about this. Because I can't pull off such a big operation by myself, I only have a few people..."

Zhou Quanfu felt utterly dejected.

Originally, this was supposed to be my merit, but...

"Fang Che, don't come to me for signatures from now on! Not even once!"

Zhou Quanfu roared, causing the Patrol Office to tremble.

As night fell,

Feng Xiang Dong rushed to pick up Ye Meng for dinner.

Meanwhile, Fang Che had arrived at the dormitory.

Inside, several small heads were poking out, curiously peering outside.

They had a good rest, and the Patrol Office dormitory was infused with spiritual energy. Their little faces, though still dark, now had a healthy glow.

The little girl had fair skin, her hair tied in twin braids with red ribbons, translucent and bright. Her big eyes sparkled.

"I still don't know your names."

Fang Che asked.

Upon hearing this, the seven little ones lowered their heads.

"I remember being called Blackie since I was little..."

"I'm Er Dan."

"I'm Gou Sheng."

"I'm Er Wa."

"I'm Da Hei."

"I'm Xiao Niu."

"I'm Bala."

The seven names left Fang Che speechless.

Behind him, Dong Yun Yu burst into laughter, wanting to say something, but Qiu Yun Shang covered her mouth, "Don't talk to the children..."

Dong Yun Yu struggled free and raged, "Why not?"

"You'll corrupt the kids."

"I'll fuck your grandpa!"

"You're my fourth brother, and your grandpa is my dad!"

"I..."

Fang Che rubbed his head, "So... we need to give them names?"

Instantly, the seven little ones' eyes sparkled with excitement.

Naming?

They longed for names of their own, just like Ren Chun and Ren Dong.

Fang Che was a bit stumped, feeling he lacked the talent for naming, mainly because the talent for writing names was lacking.

"You two can be called Ren Chun and Ren Dong, is that okay?"

"Yes!"

"Then they can all follow your surname Ren." Fang Che had an idea, "You're the eldest, so the younger brothers should naturally follow your surname."

"Yes, yes!"

Ren Chun was thrilled.

Behind Fang Che,

Dong Yun Yu and Qiu Yun Shang both felt like they had been shot.

This... we have to follow his surname?

"Blackie, from now on, you're Ren Qiu! Er Dan, you're Ren Xia; Er Wa, you're..."

Fang Che frowned, having finished with spring and summer, but struggling with the rest.

Qiu Yun Shang suggested, "Then Er Wa can be Ren Kuang!"

"Da Hei's name can be Ren Ao!"

"Xiao Niu's name can be Ren Xiao!"

"Gou Sheng, your name will be Ren Ping!"

"Bala, your name will be..." Qiu Yun Shang pondered, and Dong Yun Yu chimed in, "Ren Lang!"

Everyone clapped and cheered, "Ren Lang is a great name!"

The little ones also clapped, their sparkling eyes filled with wonder.

I don't understand what this means.

But from now on, the names of the nine little ones are set.

Ren Chun, Ren Xia, Ren Qiu, Ren Kuang, Ren Ao, Ren Xiao, Ren Ping, Ren Lang, and Ren Dong.

Laughter, pride, spring, summer, autumn, winter, and waves.

Zhou Quanfu, who had rushed over, praised, "Good names!"

"Well done!"

"Such a pretty little girl!"

And so, the little girl was scared again and hid behind Fang Che's buttocks, her little finger quietly grabbing the back of Fang Che's shirt.

Suddenly, a tiny heart felt a sense of peace.

Unable to help herself, she lowered her head, and a sweet smile escaped her lips.

"Let's go eat!"

At this moment, the wind blew, and Feng Xiangdong and Ye Meng flew over.

Everyone had arrived.

Ye Meng looked at the many little ones and was delighted, "Oh, how adorable! Where did they come from?"

Dong Yunyu was busy applying eye drops and said, "Sister-in-law, these are all born to Fang Che and his little wife!"

Ye Meng shot her a look, "Dong Yunyu, you're becoming more and more impolite."

She even dared to put on an act with her elder sister-in-law, saying, "In the future, if you're looking for a wife, I'll be the first to talk to your sister-in-law and convince her not to marry you!"

Dong Yunyu was stunned, "Elder Sister-in-law, you wouldn't, would you? That's too harsh."

Fang Che coldly smiled, "Think about your reputation. If your sister-in-law doesn't worry about you, your life might be in danger. How dare you provoke her."

Dong Yunyu was speechless and looked at Feng Xiangdong and Qiu Yunshang for help.

The two of them ignored him and changed the subject.

"Boss..."

Fang Che replied indifferently, "At home, your sister-in-law is in charge. I don't dare to provoke her. Whoever provokes her will have to apologize. Your sister-in-law isn't greedy; a piece or two of divine metal is enough to appease her."

Dong Yunyu cried out, "Boss... we don't even have a single piece in our entire family..."

Fang Che had already pulled Ye Meng to introduce the children and paid no more attention to Dong Yunyu.

"This is Ren Chun, this is Ren Dong... this is Ren Lang... we just named them today."

Ye Meng was stunned, "Who's so talented to come up with these names?"

Fang Che didn't answer but smiled at the little ones and said, "Call her Sister Ye Meng!"

"Hello, Sister Ye Meng!"

They replied in unison.

Ye Meng smiled, "So obedient..."

Of course, the nine little ones couldn't eat at the same table; they had a separate one.

Because the food Fang Che ate was too rich for the little ones; it would be like poisoning them.

If they ate it, they'd bleed from their seven orifices.

However, Fang Che crushed a few low-grade Vitality Pills and sprinkled them into each of their bowls of congee.

It wasn't that there weren't better options, but this was the lowest quality they could handle, and even one pill was too much for each person.

For the nine of them, only three pills were crushed.

This meal still made the little ones feel like they were in paradise.

They were so nervous they didn't dare to pick up their chopsticks.

Later, at Fang Che's command, Ren Chun called for his brothers to eat.

But he whispered, "Don't smack your lips, don't make a mess. Eat slowly, don't spill the soup on the table, and don't drop it on the ground. Don't get it on your clothes either!"

"And..."

Ren Chun continued to talk about the rules while eating and taking care of his sister.

The little ones ate silently.

After taking the first bite, Ren Dong was shocked, her eyes widening. She quickly swallowed and closed her eyes happily, whispering, "So fragrant..."

The other little ones ate carefully, and upon hearing this, they nodded in agreement, whispering, "So fragrant!"

"It's so fragrant I want to cry..."

"Me too... this is the first time in my life I've eaten something so delicious..."

The little ones whispered to each other, trying to keep their voices down, while tears of happiness flowed down their faces, mixing with their food and being scooped back into their mouths.

...

On the other side.

Ye Meng was a little worried, "Shouldn't we send someone to watch them?"

"No need."

Fang Che spoke softly, "For their first meal, let them eat by themselves and get used to it. If someone goes over, they won't dare to touch their chopsticks."

"That makes sense."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Fang Che said to Ye Meng, "Meng, this is my direct superior, Squad Leader Zhou Quanfu."

Ye Meng quickly greeted him, "Hello, Squad Leader."

Zhou Quanfu returned the greeting, "Oh, I'm his direct superior, and on Fang Che's first day on the job, he sent people to blindfold and rob me... what's this?"

As he spoke, he glared at Dong Yunyu and the others, filled with resentment.

Dong Yunyu and the others were eating like starving ghosts, shoveling food into their mouths without even lifting their heads.
