Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Xue Rang had Qin Tian and Du Qiuniang get off the carriage, staring at the two. To him, Qin Tian looked like a spoiled brat from a small town, completely ignorant of his inferiority.

”What are you staring at? Routine check!”

Seeing Qin Tian staring at him, Xue Rang decided to show him who was in charge with a cold face.

”Sure, feel free to check.”

Qin Tian nodded slightly, which was unexpected to Xue Rang. He did not react with outrage or by flaunting his family background, but remained calm and indifferent.

Xue Rang was quite surprised, glanced at Qin Tian twice, pursed his lips, then got on the carriage to carefully inspect Qin Tian’s situation inside.

”Awoo, awoo, awoo!”

However, while Qin Tian and Du Qiuniang had no objections, Qin Tian’s little creature Ah Tai did.

This little fellow seemed very unhappy with his master being bullied. Seeing Xue Rang jump onto the carriage, Ah Tai leaped from Qin Tian’s arms, jumped onto the carriage, and barked furiously at Xue Rang.

”Get rid of this fellow, or I’ll butcher him for soup tonight!”

Xue Rang yelled at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian said to Ah Tai, ”Ah Tai, come back quickly, or you’ll end up in someone’s soup!”

”Awoo, awoo, awoo...” Ah Tai continued to bare his teeth and claws, unwilling to return.

Qin Tian was quite speechless and could only say, ”Come back now, and I’ll find some female dogs for you to play with once we’re in the city.”

”Yap yap yap yap~”

Upon hearing this, Ah Tai’s eyes instantly brightened, and he immediately jumped off the carriage, came to Qin Tian, and hugged his leg, appearing grateful.

”Master, this Ah Tai is so... so hopelessly ridiculous.”

Seeing Ah Tai’s expression, even Du Qiuniang was at a loss for words.

Qin Tian shrugged, ”I can’t help it, this guy is innately lecherous, can’t be changed.”

”You, come here!”

Just as Qin Tian and Du Qiuniang were speaking, Xue Rang jumped off the carriage, directly pointed at Qin Tian, and said loudly.

Qin Tian was taken aback, ”You’re calling me?”

”Who else would I be calling, hurry over here!”

”How presumptuous!”

Xue Rang barely finished speaking when Lin Yu, unable to tolerate this any longer, shouted angrily.

”You’re the one being presumptuous!”

Seeing Lin Yu step forward, Xue Rang became even more arrogant, glaring at Lin Yu, ”I’m the Commander on duty at the East Gate, following procedure with a routine check. What, you dissatisfied?”

”I...”

Seeing Lin Yu about to lose his temper, Qin Tian quickly signaled Lin Yu, who bit his teeth, held back, thinking that if his boss hadn’t repeatedly instructed him not to reveal his identity before entering the city, he would have stood up to Xue Rang.

”The boss also mentioned checking out the East Gate’s situation to prepare for his upcoming post, but this kid is eyeing us, completely unaware of his ignorance and courting death...” Lin Yu thought angrily.

”Are you dissatisfied?”

At this point, Xue Rang stared at Qin Tian and asked.

Qin Tian nodded, ”No, I’m not dissatisfied... General, what instructions do you have for me?”

Xue Rang gestured for Qin Tian to come and said, ”Come here and open this box for me.”

Xue Rang spoke to Qin Tian in an entirely commanding tone, pointing at the two large boxes at the back of the carriage.

Qin Tian said, ”These are my valuable belongings, General, there’s no need to inspect them, right?”

”Nonsense! I told you to open it, just do it, quickly!”

Xue Rang glared at Qin Tian and shouted, ”If you don’t open it, I have reason to suspect you’re hiding prohibited items from the Wang Chao here, smuggling a court-wanted criminal!”

Such an accusation was suddenly placed on Qin Tian, leaving him speechless. He nodded, ”Fine, you want to see, then see; it’s your own decision... Qiuniang, open it for him.”

Du Qiuniang nodded and opened the large box on top.

”See, I’m just doing a routine check, rest assured, no matter how valuable the items are, I won’t even touch a bit! Hmph, just stand there, and watch!”

Xue Rang cast a sideways glance at Qin Tian, walked over to the box, and opened it.

The soldiers under the East Gate tower watched the scene as if it were entertainment.

They often saw such scenes, with Xue Rang having nothing better to do, enjoying intimidating young rich men from outside, reducing their arrogance, and making sure they understood the majesty of the Imperial City, so they would behave meekly afterward.

Creak!

Xue Rang pursed his lips, opened the box, and peeked in. The first thing he saw was a rectangular box made of gold, exceedingly exquisite.

”You, come here!”

Xue Rang beckoned and called Qin Tian over, pointing at the Golden Box inside the chest, ”I want to open this and see what’s inside, any problem?”

”General, it’s such a small box, isn’t it unnecessary?” Qin Tian asked.

This box contained the Imperial Decree, which Qin Tian didn’t wish to disclose, especially not in such a public setting.

”I’m not discussing with you; I’m commanding.”

With that, Xue Rang already took out the Golden Box in front of Qin Tian, held it in his hand, and said, ”Everyone take note, I’m conducting a routine inspection. Once completed, belongings will be returned, no embezzlement!”

Seeing Qin Tian’s unpleasant expression, Xue Rang smirked inwardly, thinking, ’Serving him right with the intimidation; otherwise, when he offends other dignitaries entering the Imperial City, that’ll cost him his life!’

Smiling faintly, Xue Rang opened the Golden Box, and upon first glance, his pupils instantly dilated!

”This... looks familiar...”

Xue Rang furrowed his brows, immediately pulling the Imperial Decree out of the box.

”This is... the Imperial Decree!?”

Seeing it was an Imperial Decree, Xue Rang was a bit dumbfounded. Then, glancing at Qin Tian, he nevertheless took a deep breath and unfolded the Decree.

”Hiss...”

Just one glance at the content of the Decree caused Xue Rang to gasp, his hands suddenly trembling!

He, trembling all over, carefully placed the Decree back into the Golden Box. Then, instantly bending his body, he slowly approached Qin Tian, raised his gaze, now full of reverence, and offered the Golden Box back to Qin Tian.

”This humble servant... bows to Governor Qin!”

Bang!

Accompanied by Xue Rang’s trembling voice, he immediately dropped to one knee before Qin Tian!

Swish!

At this moment, the atmosphere around froze instantly!

Especially a few East Gate soldiers watching Xue Rang teach the newcomer rich kid a lesson, seeing Xue Rang kneel to Qin Tian, each of them was dumbfounded!

”This servant deserves death! Offending the Governor, please punish me, Governor! This servant... deserves death! Boohoo...”

Xue Rang now knelt in front of Qin Tian, trembling, and crying!

”Governor... Governor Qin...”

Hearing Xue Rang’s words, a few East Gate soldiers quietly replayed what Xue Rang said in their minds, immediately realizing—

”Isn’t he the... newly appointed... Great Governor of East Gate?!”

Bang bang bang!

Once the soldiers realized this, each turned pale, their legs weak, and knelt down!

”We salute the Governor!”
