Chapter 406: Chapter 406 Admirable Courage_1

Yuan Shan asked her question while Huang Zhixun stared at Fu Qian with an icy demeanor.

In his view, his own behavior of starting a fight on the street was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but Fu Qian’s previous actions were clearly even more inexplicable.

As long as he clung to this point, at most, his behavior could only be considered rash.

Why was he there?

Facing Yuan Shan’s question, Fu Qian appeared contemplative, seemingly at a loss for words.

“You’re not going to claim that it actually wasn’t you, are you?”

Huang Zhixun chuckled coldly from the side.

“How could that be! A real man takes responsibility for his own actions.”

Fu Qian snorted.

“I indeed went there, but then I left.”

“I know, right after the new city official announced his temporary withdrawal, correct?”

Huang Zhixun’s tone was aggressive.

“Exactly.”

Fu Qian’s face was the picture of honesty.

“So, what exactly was your purpose for going there?”

Huang Zhixun asked quickly, giving Fu Qian no chance to think.

“Isn’t it obvious? I was entrusted by someone to keep an eye on the new city official.”

Hmm?

Huang Zhixun was both shocked and delighted, having not expected Fu Qian to admit it so openly and directly.

“You’re being quite forthright. Who entrusted you?”

“Who else could it be?”

Fu Qian lifted his head to look at Yuan Shan, and amidst everyone’s gaze, he revealed a meaningful smile.

“Someone from the Gulad Family.”

“…What?”

In that instant, Huang Zhixun gaped, dumbstruck.

“A member of the Gulad Family asked you to keep an eye on the new city official?”

Before he could voice his opinion, Yuan Shan had already started speaking, her expression contemplative.

“Yes.”

Fu Qian still wore an expression free of deceit.

“Impossible!”

Before Yuan Shan could ask further, Huang Zhixun virtually roared out.

“This guy is spouting nonsense!”

“Why would I talk nonsense?”

Fu Qian looked at him with a slight frown.

“Moreover, on what basis are you so sure?”

“Yeah, why are you so certain?”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan also turned to gaze at him intently.

“I…”

Huang Zhixun was at a loss for words again.

Of course, he had his reasons.

His own actions were originally the idea of people from the Gulad Family, who had also provided him with a great deal of information.

But how could he possibly disclose that reason here?

This bastard was clearly just playing him!

Huang Zhixun glared at Fu Qian, his teeth grinding audibly in anger.

Big brother, I really don’t know what you were thinking.

In response, Fu Qian looked at him as if he were looking at a fool.

To confront him without any evidence on the Night Watchman’s turf?

And the ultimate goal was to involve the Night Watchman?

Who gave you the courage to do this? Did inhaling too much hydrogen sulfide damage your brain?

In fact, from the moment he had failed to bring him down with the first strike, this guy no longer stood a chance.

In the end, it all came down to Huang Zhixun being too complacent.

This fellow had never considered the possibility of being unable to defeat him, and had simply walked right into the trap.

Strength is always the overriding argument!

“So, what did the Gulad Family want you to surveil Gan Zuoxun for?”

Huang Zhixun was furious, but Yuan Shan asked again.

“Nothing much, just to see if there was anything unusual about this city official.”

“I thought it wasn’t a bad thing to do, and the pay was substantial, so I agreed.”

“… What on earth does the Gulad Family want to achieve!”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan’s expression changed drastically, and she viciously slapped the table.

After her outburst, she turned her head and looked at Fu Qian with a serious face.

“We cannot take your word for it alone; we will certainly investigate thoroughly and will not wrong anyone.”

What an acting skill!

Listening to Yuan Shan’s righteous lines, Fu Qian silently gave her credit.

It must be said, this collaboration was very well done.

That way, not only was the Gulad Family saddled with an indelible stain,

but even if Yuan Shan didn’t wholly believe that Gan Zuoxun was innocent for cautious’ sake, she now had enough reason to investigate him, making everything seem justified.

For Yuan Shan, it was as good as a windfall right into her lap; there was absolutely no reason not to take it.

“So, Councilor Huang, what do you think?”

After her performance, Yuan Shan squinted her eyes at Huang Zhixun.

…

Huang Zhixun felt terrified by that gaze and remained silent for a long time, grinding his teeth.

“I seem to recall Mr. Fang once worked with Chief Yuan, didn’t he?”

This fellow really doesn’t know what’s good for himself!

Fu Qian sighed internally. At such a time, how could he still hope for a turnaround?

Do you look down on my leadership as Chief Yuan?

“Of course, it’s no secret. Mr. Fang was once a temporary employee in my office, but we’ve already terminated our employment relationship with him.”

Yuan Shan’s face was all business, and she emphasized deliberately.

“Please rest assured, we will not show favoritism in the investigation because of this relationship.”

Is this really about favoritism?

Huang Zhixun nearly spat out blood in frustration, rendered speechless for a moment.

Brilliant! That’s the magic of the words “temporary worker”!

Fu Qian cast an admiring glance at Yuan Shan.

However, her expression grew even more stern.

“Councilor Huang, since we’ve already roughly clarified the situation, it’s time to discuss your problem.”

Just as expected!

Fu Qian wasn’t surprised at all by Yuan Shan’s approach to affixing blame.

Huang Zhixun’s last question had fully revealed his intentions, leaving no room for maneuvering, and it would be strange if Yuan Shan let him off.

“I don’t care about your declared intentions, but in Shangjing, I will not allow certain behaviors.”

Yuan Shan took a deep breath, displaying an impartial demeanor.

“In front of many ordinary citizens, you rashly disrupted public order and even posed a threat to the lives of those around you. Do you admit that?”

…

Huang Zhixun’s face darkened almost to the point of dripping water.

But what Yuan Shan said was the stark truth, and he couldn’t very well deny it with his eyes wide open.

In the end, it boiled down to a misjudgment of his power, having failed to take decisive action from the start and subsequently becoming increasingly passive.

“I did indeed rush things a bit, but there was no malice intended,” he explained reluctantly.

“Understood. I am inclined to believe your intentions were good, which is why I am not going to pursue this matter any further.”

Yuan Shan locked eyes with Huang Zhixun.

“However, I have one demand—starting today, I hope you no longer appear in Shangjing.”

“… But I am one of the Federation’s councilors in Shangjing”

Huang Zhixun clearly didn’t expect Yuan Shan to directly banish him from Shangjing, and he was momentarily stunned.

He had worked in this place for many years; how could he willingly just leave?

“I know, so if you need to come to Shangjing in the future, remember to submit an application to me.”

Yuan Shan spoke calmly and decisively, utterly unmoved.

“… Fine.”

Huang Zhixun finally recognized the harsh reality and no longer tried any futile struggles, begrudgingly agreeing.
