Chapter 141 Rain and Thunder
Not only Ji Jue, but everyone present fell silent, including Lei Yaoxing who was staring over. For a moment, his expression twitched as if he felt something.

But he didn't even have time to think, because the second car had already stopped at the door.

The same luxury car that Mr. Lou uses for travel, a top-of-the-line Guangyuan!
The person who walked out was a normal-looking, slightly plump man. Apart from the high-end brands on his body and the famous watch on his wrist, there was nothing special about him. However, the atmosphere at the scene became tense again.

Even better than before.

"Long time no see, Mr. Tong."

Lei Yaoxing shook hands with the visitor. Now the CEO of Tong Group nodded slightly and had someone hand over a wreath.

"My old man said that he had known Mr. Lei for a long time and asked me to send him off on his behalf."

Lei Yaoxing was silent for a moment and gave up his position:
"……please."

So, Tong Shengnian walked in, took two incense sticks, lit them, put his hands together and prayed silently for the afterlife, then, without paying attention to the host's invitation, turned around and walked to the back of the venue.

As Ji Jue's eyelids twitched wildly, he sat down next to the elder of Chongguang Church.

And there is the Tong family!

The next car that arrived was an Empire Shadow, with low-key and luxurious decoration. A middle-aged woman with short hair and serious makeup walked out of the door opened by the driver.

Ji Jue had seen this person before.

In Professor Ye’s workshop…

When Professor Ye introduced himself to her, Ji Jue smiled more brightly than a baby in kindergarten... because she was the manager and plenipotentiary representative of the Taiyi Ring of the National Craftsmen Association in Yacheng!
At this moment, after burning incense, he did not leave, but walked to the back and sat next to the elder. After a brief greeting, he nodded to Ji Jue and kept silent.

Ji Jue’s scalp became more and more numb.

The subsequent appearances are also heavyweight characters...

Chairman of the local branch of the Star Core Association, confidential secretary of the City Hall, special representative of the Governor's Office, business manager of Yongji Bank, and head of Universal Heavy Industries and Unbounded Communications.

In the end, he simply ignored all the rules and parked the car in front of the farewell hall.

Well, it’s not a good car, but it’s not a bad car either. But it doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad, because it has the logo of the Yacheng Security Bureau on it.

The young man who came down from above straightened his sleeves and walked in.

He ignored Lei Yaoxing, let alone Lei Wuye, and was even too lazy to burn incense.

He didn't even look at the coffin.

He had a blank expression from beginning to end, and his once handsome face was filled with a coldness that kept people at a distance. He walked in nonchalantly.

So, he walked to the back facing many angry gazes, greeted Tong Shengnian, and then sat down next to Ji Jue directly.

Ji Jue's expression twitched for a moment, and then again, and at this moment he just wanted to shrink his head like Chen Yubo.

Before he decided to sit somewhere else, he heard a voice beside him.

The cold man turned around and looked at him, his expression was slightly warm, "Ji Jue?"

"Uh...hello?"

Ji Jue nodded and looked at the face he had never seen before. "What's your name?"

"No need to bother, Tong, Tongshan."

The person in charge of the Yacheng Security Bureau, who was acting as the director, introduced himself and shook hands with Ji Jue: "Before I came here, Director Wen specifically asked me to look after you. Now it seems that I don't need to be so involved."

"Uh……"

In an instant, Ji Jue breathed a sigh of relief and felt that all the pressure was gone.

Oh my god, there is such a huge Buddha statue right next to him. Even if Lei Yaoxing takes out a knife, he won’t lose a single hair!

Isn't this a sense of security?!
As he hurriedly climbed up the ladder and said "we are one of you", he heard Tong Shan's words: "Not only Director Wen, my silly sister also often talks about you."

"what?"

Ji Jue instinctively felt something was wrong, "What did you say about me?"

Tong Shan was silent for a moment, and the corners of his mouth seemed to curl up, "I don't need me to repeat what Brother Mingyan said, right?"

Ji Jue's expression twitched again and he couldn't stop.

I just knew it! I just knew it!

After nineteen years of clean record, one misstep led to everlasting regret!

Can't we just ignore this? ! Why do I suddenly feel like he will chase me for the rest of my life? !

"Ahem, sorry for making fun of me."

"I don't find it funny."

Contrary to Ji Jue's expectation, Tong Shan shook his head seriously, so seriously that Ji Jue suspected that he was joking: "I think you spoke very well and did a good job.

These days, there are too few people who dare to speak their mind and then actually do what they want to do. "

He suddenly asked, "Are you interested in coming to the Security Bureau?"

"Uh..." Ji Jue's expression twitched. He originally wanted to say that he was already an informant, but in the eyes of others, the term "informer" might not even be considered relevant, right?
Tong Shan said, "I know the mess in the Second Department is very troublesome, but don't worry, the First Department welcomes you at any time. No, with your ability, I'm afraid you can go directly to the Third Department, right?"

In addition to the logistics and financial departments, the Yacheng Security Bureau has a total of three main departments, which are the one, two, and three that everyone mentions to save trouble.

The security bureau that everyone usually sees is the second department, which is also the largest and most complex of the three departments. It is responsible for the security of various areas in Yacheng. That is why Wen Wen mocks herself as a local police officer. The first department is the operations department that Tong Shan is currently in charge of. It is directly under the director and is considered to be the elite civil servant of the federation. It is responsible for the defense of Yacheng and the safety of important people.

The dominant one is Tianyuan I, whose internal management and discipline are far more strict than that of the second department, and the treatment and benefits are also exaggerated. Wild Tianyuan followers dream of taking the civil service exam to get in, and then they will be employed. And only people in the first department can access the Federation's orthodox Tianyuan matrix and various inherited skills...

You know, the Empire and the Federation, these are the only two Tianyuan bases in the world!

The three departments he mentioned were the smallest and most mysterious. The Technical Maintenance Department was responsible for the maintenance of important facilities in Yacheng, including but not limited to large-scale war fortifications or various alchemical items...even heavenly works and forbidden creations. The internal staff relied on the supply of the Federation, so they didn't even frown when consuming ordinary materials.

If this had happened half a year earlier, Ji Jue would have been so happy that he couldn't even close his legs if he could get any of the offers. But now, it's not a pity that he doesn't care at all.

Chao Sheng Workshop is my home, and Professor Ye is the only sun in my heart!
Ji Jue shook his head without hesitation: "For the time being, I will focus on my studies. Sorry."

Tong Shan nodded slightly, not surprised, and handed over a business card with both hands, saying solemnly: "If you are interested, please contact me at any time."

"must."

Ji Jue put it away carefully, and then he felt the increasingly solemn and depressing atmosphere in the farewell hall.

Before he knew it, the seats around him were already full!
Moreover, looking around, there are people of all levels in all walks of life, but among them... there is not a single deserted group.

First it was the elders of the Chongguang Church, then Tong Shengnian and Taiyi Ring of the Tong family, and then Tong Shan, the acting director of the Security Bureau, they were like huge rocks thrown into a pond, causing turbulent waves and undercurrents.

When all of them sat here, this funeral was destined to not be Huangji's internal affairs.

Rather, it's more like...

...raise an army to hold the culprit accountable?
Ji Jue suddenly had some inexplicable guesses in his mind, but perhaps, only this could explain why all this happened.

Half a month of dark war is really too long.

As the struggle got out of control, it affected more than just Huangji. The hospital and relief of the Chongguang Church, the business and management of the Tong family, the material transportation and contraband control of the Taiyi Ring, the neutrality and unity of the Xingxin Association, the operation of the City Hall, the security of the Governor's Office, and most importantly... the order and stability of Yacheng.

It is true that as long as human nature exists, there will inevitably be chaos and disorder in the wilderness, but now too much blood has been shed in the wilderness, overflowing into the world outside the wilderness and flowing to everyone's doorstep.

By the time the next guest sat down after burning incense, the entire farewell hall was dead silent, so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

The middle-aged man who looked somewhat like Tong Shan sat down leisurely. He was wearing a casual suit, had a handsome and unrestrained demeanor, and was quite elegant.

After nodding to Tong Shengnian, he patted Tong Shan's shoulder intimately and sat next to him, "Ashan, long time no see."

"Hello, fourth uncle."

Tong Shan nodded solemnly in greeting.

"Hey, relax a little. Fourth uncle is still hesitating whether to call the position. Isn't it more interesting this way?"

Fourth uncle smiled and waved his hands nonchalantly, without any solemnity: "After Ah Hua came home last time, she was so angry that she ate several more bowls of rice. The relationship between you two siblings is more interesting."

Ji Jue and Lao Tang beside them looked at each other with their eyes and noses in their minds, sitting upright, not daring to breathe, and keeping their heads down.

The moment he appeared on the scene, he had already identified the mark on the opponent's chest...

A brooch from the Haizhou Reading Club.

The club may look harmless, but who would have thought that this place is the largest intelligence exchange organization formed by the Ether Chosen in the whole Haizhou?

The man whom Tong Shan called Fourth Uncle was the Chosen One of the Tong Family, and now the president of the Haizhou Reading Club, Tong Ting. At this moment, when he sat down here, he represented all the Chosen Ones of Ether in the entire Yacheng.

But among the many visitors present, the Tong family accounted for three representatives of the industry, the security bureau, and the etheric system. From this, we can vaguely see how terrifying the influence of the Tong family, which is usually very low-key, is...

But unexpectedly, Tong Ting was not as stubborn or brave as Tong Hua. He never opened his etheric eye from beginning to end, nor did he look around. After greeting Ji Jue in a formal manner and praising the young man, he didn't say anything more.

As visitor after visitor arrived, sat down or left after paying their respects, the farewell hall, which originally seemed somewhat empty, was now so crowded that there was no seat available.

The busy staff were about to move the benches inside, but Lei Yaoxing, who had been silent throughout, raised his hand and waved.

There will be no more guests.

In other words, the last guest has arrived in front of him.

"Sorry, I was delayed on the way and am late."

The slightly pale man in the wheelchair coughed twice and instructed the MC beside him: "I asked someone to buy some flowers before I came. Please help me put them up."

Behind him, the one-armed old man waved his hand and folded his umbrella. A sparse string of raindrops fell from the tip of the umbrella, with a faint scarlet color.

"elder brother!"

Chen Yubo, who was cowering at the back, finally raised his head. After seeing who was coming, his eyes lit up and he almost cried.

But apart from him, no one else spoke.

Only the faint sound of the wheelchair rolling over the ground could be heard straight into the mourning hall.

The mourning hall was silent, with the sound of light rain.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

In front of the coffin, Chen Xingzhou raised his eyes calmly and greeted Lei Yaoxing: "Young Master Xing, how are you?"

At this moment, just as at that moment.

In the long and sultry tide, flashes of lightning flashed across the distant dark clouds.

There was a roar of thunder.
