CHAPTER 1853: CHAPTER 1846: THE GRAND CEREMONY OF AUTHORITY

When the other party asked back, Tang Ye subconsciously thought of that night’s events, then quickly shook his head lightly, stopping the small sinful thought that had just emerged in his mind.

In the end, he said somewhat helplessly to Su Sigui: "Alright then, I’ll help you solve the matter here, you go on with your task." After saying this, Tang Ye was about to hang up the call, but Su Sigui’s voice came through from the other side: "Wait a second, I’ll have something sent to you, so it’ll be easier for you to handle things later."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Tang Ye quickly put the phone to his ear: "You’ve planned for me to do this from the start, haven’t you?"

"Hehe... beep beep beep..."

This conversation ended with Su Sigui’s extremely cunning smile.

Listening to the busy signal coming from the phone, Tang Ye helplessly placed the phone on the nearby shelf. He looked at Ah Fu and said: "I have something to keep me busy later."

"Need my help?" Ah Fu scratched his head and asked.

"No need, I’ll handle it myself." Tang Ye shook his head. Ah Fu’s large frame was too conspicuous wherever he went.

Saying that, he stood up from the bath, put on a robe, and while moving his body, he called out in a strange tone: "Let’s go. Your boss here also needs to get to work, you take your time and play around."

"Alright, boss!" Confirming that Tang Ye was really leaving, Ah Fu was overjoyed.

"Why are you so excited?" Seeing Ah Fu so delighted, Tang Ye couldn’t help but feel a headache, but he couldn’t be bothered to manage it. After securing his robe, he left the bathhouse area.

A minute later, as Tang Ye opened the door and entered the locker room, he was stunned. Behind the door stood several men in suits, each exuding a powerful aura. One of them was a Level 8 New Human, and each had a small, intensified laser weapon at their waist. They didn’t look like they were here for fun, more like they were here on business.

"Who are you?" As soon as he opened the door, all the people inside focused their gaze on him. Tang Ye immediately understood that these people were here for him!

But they didn’t carry any malicious intent and were all strangers to him.

"Hello, Mr. Li." As Tang Ye asked in confusion, one of the Level 8 New Humans greeted him, appearing to be the leader of these men.

"Here to see me?" Tang Ye confirmed.

"Yes."

"What is it?" Looking at someone beside him, Tang Ye noticed that the person was holding something. The moment he opened the door, upon seeing his face, this person instinctively started to walk towards him, but after the leader’s greeting, the person gave up the action.

It seemed like he wanted to give me something?

Besides that, the last person was holding a camera capable of quickly developing photos.

Tang Ye was puzzled, but his confusion was quickly resolved.

"We are under orders from the Mayor to deliver something to you."

"Su Sigui?" Tang Ye squinted his eyes: "So fast?"

How long has it been?

It only took a minute, or even less, from when I left the bathhouse to get here!

If Su Sigui’s people had set out from their headquarters, even for a Level 8 New Human, it would take at least three minutes to get here, right?

Also, how did they know I was here?

"Mr. Li, to be honest, we’ve been waiting here for quite a while."

"How long?"

"Since five minutes after you entered."

"Then how did you know I was here? Do I have a tracker on me?"

"You must be joking, Mr. Li. This place is the Mayor’s property, and we all work for the Mayor. From the second you entered, our Mayor knew you were here."

"Alright." Tang Ye rubbed his upper lip, suddenly realizing the importance of having eyes everywhere.

"Apologies, Mr. Li, please forgive us..."

"Alright, alright, what did your Mayor want you to bring me? Hurry up, take it out."

"Okay." The leading man nodded, then gestured to the man Tang Ye had noticed earlier. Seeing this, the man immediately responded, approached Tang Ye, and handed him the item while respectfully saying: "Mr. Li, please take it."

"What is this?" The object in the person’s hand was a wallet, made of genuine leather. Tang Ye took it in confusion, opened it, and aside from an ID card, there was nothing else. The content of this card was intriguing; it read: [Governor of the Cloud Gorge Base Unified Monitoring Department.]

Apart from these words, the name "Li Henian" was printed below, along with a complex embossed seal, but nothing else, and the photo frame beside it was empty.

"Monitoring Department... do you have this department?" After taking a glance, Tang Ye voiced his doubt, and the leading man honestly shook his head: "No, this department consists only of you."

"So I’m a lone commander? Ha! Your Mayor has a strange way of co-opting people." Tang Ye’s face showed a peculiar smile.

"Haha..." The leading man awkwardly laughed along with Tang Ye, and soon his expression turned serious again: "Actually, this department didn’t exist before you came, it only exists in spoken terms. People outside know about this department, but they don’t know whether it really exists or not..."

"Alright, I’ll be this Governor. I’m on the same boat as your Mayor, anyway, there’s nothing to lose whether I take it or not, you just tell me what it can do for me."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The leading man dared not say more and quickly said: "With this ID, Mr. Li, you can freely enter any military stronghold without any obstruction, regardless of rank or secrecy level! All incumbent officials or armies will earnestly obey or execute your orders, even all Level 8 New Humans, as long as you have any requests, even if it’s all departments of the Cloud Gorge Base, they will strictly comply with your ideas. Simply put, with this ID, your status at Cloud Gorge Base is second only to the Mayor."

"Oh~ that’s impressive." Hearing these words, Tang Ye nodded in satisfaction, but soon the biggest question came. He asked: "You just said all Level 8 New Humans will obey me?"

"Yes."

"How can you guarantee those people will follow me? Like your Xu Tianyu or Qiuyue or whatever?"

The leading man lowered his head slightly: "Don’t worry, the Mayor has already arranged for that. If anyone even slightly pretends to follow your orders, they won’t live to see the next day!"

"Alright then... your Mayor indeed gave me a big gift." Tang Ye’s tone became subtly intricate. "With such great power, I can’t just do nothing. You should tell me what this Governor usually has to do, otherwise, it would feel quite uncomfortable."

"Mr. Li, actually, you don’t have to do anything."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Not very precisely, this part is mainly aimed at all the incumbent officials’ illegal acts, to give timely judgment."

"Isn’t this a matter for the military inspection department?"

"The military inspection department only targets dubious activities within the military, whereas here you are responsible for all aspects, from high-ranking Level 8 New Humans to ordinary civilians."
