CHAPTER 227: CHAPTER 132: THE LEGENDARY MARSHAL

She was born with a talent for public relations, Xia You thought with emotion. With Lin Yi’s strategy, Lu Xun’s action, and Wuyue’s guidance, this new generation carriage of the Rand Military District would ride more smoothly.

"So, my suggestion is to submit all the causes and consequences of our case to the church and directly invite Saint Father David. He is an expert in mental therapy and should be able to find some clues from the female suspect and determine which of her statements is truly factual," Wuyue said, then glanced at Lin Yi and Lu Xun.

Wuyue’s words satisfied Lu Xun’s intention to invite high-level officials from the David Sect and also relieved Lin Yi. Driven by a man’s protective instinct, he did not want Xianxian to get involved in this case.

"Then let’s do as Major Wu suggests. However, I heard that Saint Father David rarely appears in public. Are you sure you can get him to come to the military region?" For Lu Xun, it didn’t matter who was asked, but he was somewhat surprised to meet Saint Father David, who was rumored to perform ’miracles.’

"That, Lieutenant Colonel Lu, you don’t have to worry about. I can naturally throw out the right bait to make it impossible for the Holy Father not to come," Wuyue said, then seemingly inadvertently glanced at Xia You.

The meeting was adjourned easily with a few words from Major Wuyue.

When Lu Xun left, he subconsciously looked towards Xia You, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, quickly moving her hands, responsible for recording the minutes of the meeting.

Forget it, who asked her to not listen to him before, to join the National Security Department, and to find a moody boss. Lu Xun scoffed in his mind as he walked out of the meeting room, forgetting he was that moody boss.

"Reporting to Major, the reflection paper is ready," Lin Yi hadn’t left the meeting room when he saw Xia You approaching him with a reflection paper.

Looking at the paper filled with over two thousand words, Lin Yi felt somewhat relieved. In fact, his anger had already dissipated when he saw Xia You lowering her head, looking pitifully at her toes.

"This case will be handled by Major Wu; you just need to take care of Ren Minghang’s matters," Lin Yi said in a low voice even though the meeting room was empty.

Seeing Xia You didn’t speak, Lin Yi gave her a meaningful look, "If you want to obtain certain power at a young age like Major Wu, you must know how to choose, and Ren Minghang is the part you should choose."

"Then which part does Saintess Xianxian belong to, Major Lin?" Xia You looked directly at Lin Yi. Lin Yi was like a file, trying to reshape Xia You, this tough rock, but Xia You didn’t know that the rock itself also had a certain damaging effect on the file.

"That’s not for you to ask," Lin Yi’s words were incredibly cold.

The stars in Xia You’s eyes dimmed, "Then as you wish, I will meet with Ren Family’s people this weekend."

The situation progressed much faster than Lin Yi had anticipated. Meeting the parents played a decisive role for this generation of young people with a weak sense of duty.

Without any pleasant surprises, Lin Yi watched Xia You leave the meeting room. Her petite figure soon disappeared into the elevator. A gnawing sensation arose in his heart. Lin Yi stayed in the meeting room for a moment longer until the uneasy feeling gradually faded.

Back at the National Security Department, Xia You felt a bout of chest tightness and shortness of breath, especially evident during the meeting. It felt as if there was an empty space in her heart. Although there was new progress in Li Zhen’s case, her mood was even more unsettled. Moreover, Major Wuyue gave her a strong feeling of familiarity, a feeling not just perceived by Xia You alone, but also by Little Eight, and it emerged simultaneously and to the same extent.

"I heard you made a significant contribution, everyone is talking about it," Mo Xixi was at the National Security Department, not only keeping eyes and ears within but also involved as the one credited, Xia You appeared not joyful but rather somber.

In Mo Xixi’s perception, Xia You was warm like a winter sun in front of family and maintained a cooperative attitude with colleagues. She gave off a strange yet perfectly fitting feeling for Mo Xixi’s taste.

"What kind of person is Major Wuyue?" Xia You liked to hear Mo Xixi analyze high-ranking officials of the military region. Mo Xixi, with a background in science and engineering, analyzed data while occasionally injecting gossip due personal interest, but never personal bias like some others.

"A legendary figure; Wuyue joined Rand at 28 and started directly as a Captain. In just four or five years, she was promoted two ranks up to her current position as Lieutenant Colonel. She was handpicked by Marshal Ren, your future grandfather. Rumor has it that the Old Marshal brought her in to counterbalance the Ding and Lin military factions. However, Wuyue’s own stance is somewhat ambiguous, with a lone ranger vibe," Mo Xixi concluded, and Xia You, feeling a bit embarrassed, pinched her arm.

"Ouch, are you trying to kill the messenger? Speaking of which, when you meet Ren Minghang’s parents this weekend, you might even meet the true legend, Ren Bonian himself, the Old Marshal of Hua Country who seldom appears in public. Whether things work out with Ren Minghang depends on his word," Mo Xixi exclaimed in pain but still reminded Xia You.

Ren Bonian, the Old Marshal of Hua Country and the Ren Family, she needed to plan carefully. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for a recommendation or a monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
