After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1001 - 998: Young and Reckless

Regarding Xia Nian’s opinion about her, Bi Xia had no interest in understanding it; anyway, as long as Xia Jingshen didn’t show up, she wouldn’t give Xia Nian a good face, since his godfather was her grandfather, even if she hadn’t met him. Just knowing her mother was the stubborn old man’s real daughter, Bi Xia wasn’t afraid of Xia Jingshen. If he was capable, he could choose never to return.Sighing helplessly, Xia Nian knew talking to Bi Xia now might just get him a sharp retort, so wisely, he addressed the most experienced here, Du Han, "Captain Du, this time you all worked hard. We’ve already talked with the Ninth Young Master, and now we’re asking your team to help us load some cargo."

Du Han noted Xia Nian’s cautious demeanor around Bi Xia and was surprised, but remembering how everyone he knew avoided Bi Xia, he sympathetically glanced at Xia Nian, thinking, this guy must have crossed their family’s Ninth Young Master. He pitied Xia Nian for a moment and saw Bi Xia was not opposed, so he waved his hand, instructing Mr. Wang and Du Zizun to lead the team to unload and load the cargo alongside Xia Nian’s people.

"Hey, Vice President Xia, you all came." A voice with a local accent rang out. As Bi Xia and the others turned, they saw a dock patrol officer with a tilted hat and a baton at his waist grinning at Xia Nian, evidently very familiar with him.

Xia Nian smiled, "Yes, we have new cargo again. Our cargo ship will dock here for some time, so we rely on you to help keep watch over it."

"What’s the deal? It’s our job," The officer approached them, carrying a strong smell of smoke, clearly someone heavily addicted to smoking, then mysteriously said, "I’d advise you all to sail that cargo ship away sooner, return it where it came from, there’s been unrest at the dock these days."

Xia Nian, very fluent in chatting with the officer, asked, "What happened? Something went down again? Must be..." He wrinkled his brow in distaste, "Trouble from over there?"

"Who knows?" The officer’s disdain for the ’over there’ was evident, "But it’s probably just that."

"Did you hear? Last night, around midnight, a cargo ship here suddenly exploded. Fortunately, last night there were no other ships docked, or it would’ve been disastrous."

"Oh?" Xia Nian raised an eyebrow. "How does a cargo ship explode? Were there no captures on surveillance?"

"Capture what?" The officer rolled his eyes. "All the cameras exploded last night, not even a bird’s shadow was recorded, but..."

The officer lowered his voice mysteriously, "After the police arrived yesterday, several bodies were retrieved, some too gruesome to look at. After the investigation, it seemed they were people from ’over there.’ Moreover, the cargo ship hadn’t checked in, it was parked temporarily, and most importantly, none of the crew were on the ship, the dead were all from ’over there.’

"So, what did the police conclude?" Ye Xiao asked out of curiosity.

The officer glanced at Ye Xiao and laughed, "This young man must be an outsider, you can’t understand."

"In the end, it was all suppressed, said to be a pre-arranged setup, likely part of Yan City’s underground clashes. This time, who knows which daredevil actually targeted people ’over there,’ not afraid of being caught and wiped out," He shook his head, "But really, it’s brave, oppressed by ’over there,’ when will it all end... "

He looked at Xia Nian, "Vice President Xia, your company is truly a mysterious one, those ’over there’ can’t do anything to you. If possible, why not address evil and fight injustice yourselves."

Xia Nian laughed heartily, "You’re too kind. We’re just lucky. Speaking of which, this place is anything but peaceful. Brother, you’d better change jobs sooner. Otherwise, this constant trouble may put you in danger."

"Ain’t that the truth..." The officer sighed, "You all keep busy, I’ll go inspect elsewhere."

"Vice President Xia, the officer mentioned ’over there,’ where might that be?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled.

"It’s Yu Du," Xia Nian looked at Bi Xia with meaningful eyes, "Who knows who’s so bold, truly... youthful recklessness!"
