12: Chapter 12 The Bureau Chief Visits!
The aunt supported Shen Yue step by step as they walked toward the doorway.
She was muttering curses as she walked.
She heavily kicked open the courtyard gate and was about to walk out.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—
An orderly stream of commercial vehicles drove into the lane entrance, and their headlights illuminated the entire area as bright as day!
The aunt paused her step as she walked out.
The people inside these cars had a formidable presence; at a glance, they were either wealthy or noble.
In this tiny Junmin Lane, would someone actually get involved with people like this?
Households inside Junmin Lane all poked their little heads out to look outside.
"Where did these distinguished guests come from? Why are they coming to a rundown place like ours in the middle of the night?"
"I don't know. Looking at this, someone in our lane is about to strike it rich."
"Could it be that the Yang family members came back to live for a few days again? I heard their daughter's grades are quite good, and the head of the Yang family is a Tier 5 Martial Artist..."
"It's possible!"
You must know that in Qiunan City, a Tier 5 Martial Artist was already considered the head of a major family.
Families like the Tang Family, the He Family, and the Yang Family only had household heads with Tier 5 strength.
Tier 6 and Tier 7 were even rarer big figures, a level that ordinary people couldn't touch!
The neighbors discussed animatedly.
The traffic drove in from the lane entrance, not stopping all the way until it reached the household deep at the end of the lane...
"That's the Shen Family!"
"Is that the family of the sickly fellow surnamed Shen?"
Everyone was shocked!
Soon, a few people got out of the foremost car.
Headed by the two middle-aged men in the very center, they were crowded and escorted toward Shen Xingchen's home.
These naturally were Director Li Tianshuo and Principal Chen Lingjun.
When Director Li Tianshuo got out of the car, he happened to run into Shen Xingchen's aunt.
The aunt knew this was an extraordinary figure, so she didn't dare speak carelessly.
Perhaps her brother-in-law's family had provoked some extraordinary figure again, and they were here to exact revenge.
She definitely couldn't get involved!
Director Li Tianshuo was quite enthusiastic as soon as he came up, hastily stepping forward: "This must be Madam Jiang Li, and this must be Classmate Shen. At first glance, I can tell you are blessed people!"
This was the mother of S-Class Classmate Shen and S-Class Little Classmate; she couldn't be neglected.
Shen Yue's expression was complicated.
The aunt was stunned.
He was not unfamiliar with the name Jiang Li; it was his sister-in-law's full name...
For the incoming people to be so polite, were they truly here to look for the household behind her?
It was just... how could this be possible?
Seeing the aunt stunned, Director Li Tianshuo assumed she didn't know his purpose, which was why she was confused.
He hurriedly explained: "Madam Jiang, it's like this. Your son Shen Xingchen has outstanding grades at school..."
Director Li Tianshuo hadn't finished speaking.
Shen Xingchen interrupted: "Hello, I am Shen Xingchen. My mother is over there."
As Shen Xingchen spoke, he pointed in the direction of Jiang Li.
He had already guessed what these people were here to do.
It must be because the commotion of his awakening attracted these high-level figures of Huaxia.
He had rehearsed for such a scene, only he hadn't expected the commotion to be this big.
Director Li Tianshuo's voice paused, feeling somewhat awkward...
But Director Li Tianshuo was a person who served as a director after all, so he quickly steadied his emotions and asked: "Then these two must be very close relatives and neighbors, right?"
Although awkward, his words couldn't fall to the ground!
Director Li Tianshuo felt that he was truly witty!
So late at night, those able to linger in someone's home were either neighbors or relatives; this couldn't possibly be wrong, right?
Shen Xingchen said expressionlessly: "Those two were creditors a few minutes ago, and now they are enemies."
"Huh?" Director Li Tianshuo was dumbfounded once again.
No, what is going on?
Does your family exist specifically to jinx me?
Director Li Tianshuo withdrew his enthusiasm toward those two and disdainfully wiped his sleeves.
Only then did he step into the courtyard.
The neighbors exploded with discussion.
"They're actually looking for the Shen Family boy!"
"This rundown Shen Family is probably about to make it big!"
"I just knew Little Shen would amount to something; I've thought highly of him for a long time."
"Uncle Li, just a few days ago you said the Shen Family boy wouldn't amount to anything..."
The elder surnamed Li: "I meant that very early this morning, I clearly saw that kid."
The aunt's complexion began to turn pale.
Scenes like this were extremely reminiscent of the Shen Family twenty years ago; back then, Shen Zhennan was similarly at the height of his glory!
Looking at the aunt's panicked appearance, a trace of banter surfaced at the corner of Shen Xingchen's mouth as he said:
"If you have the guts, come take your revenge!"
...
After entering the door, Director Li Tianshuo made no more mistakes.
People from both sides introduced themselves one by one and quickly became familiar with each other.
During this process, Jiang Li's mind was completely dazed from beginning to end.
Perhaps she had never seen such a scene, or perhaps the impact of the surprise brought by her son was simply too great.
As for Shen Zhennan, he appeared much calmer.
Director Li Tianshuo took out a two-meter-tall stone tablet from his storage pouch.
"Classmate Shen Xingchen, you must know our purpose here. You probably don't know yet what kind of Talent Divine Ability you have awakened."
Director Li Tianshuo looked at Shen Xingchen excitedly: "This is the Spirit-Testing Tablet. Right now, under our witness, go give it a try and let us old fellows open our eyes."
S-Class!
A scene like this wasn't something everyone could see!
Shen Xingchen didn't shirk.
If he wanted to obtain higher-quality resources, he had to let these upper management figures see his value.
His palm gently pressed against the stone tablet.
At the center of the stone tablet, golden patterns rippled outward.
The surrounding people all widened their eyes.
Starting with golden patterns right off the bat meant an S-Class starting point; it was locked in!
Afterward, that golden pattern overflowed with a faint cyan color, appearing solemn and majestic.
Finally, the cyan-golden patterns gradually condensed into a dragon shadow.
With this, the test was complete.
Director Li Tianshuo's eyes shone brightly.
As for Principal Chen Lingjun, he was even more exaggerated, his entire face flushed red as if he had experienced a climax.
"It is an S-Class divine beast-type Talent Divine Ability [Tiancang Azure Dragon]!" Director Li Tianshuo shouted excitedly.
A Talent Divine Ability that only existed in ancient books, the legendary dragon-attribute S-Class talent!
Their Qiunan City's college entrance examination quota for this year was secured!
Moreover, establishing a good relationship with an S-Class now meant countless benefits when he ascended to the King-tier!
Director Li Tianshuo's eyes glowed green as he looked at Shen Xingchen: "Classmate Shen Xingchen, do you know what S-Class means? Once you become a King-tier, it means being invincible—truly invincible among the human race in the literal sense!"
Furthermore, if Shen Xingchen commanded an army in the future, that would be solid political achievement!
So what if he had good luck?
Good luck was also a political achievement!
Director Li Tianshuo was in high spirits: "I won't say empty words. Whatever your needs are, I'll try my best to help you."
He could tell that this S-Class's family had undergone massive changes and was currently in a difficult situation.
Shen Xingchen pondered for a moment and said: "My family is poor!"
If he didn't cry about being poor now, when would he?
Director Li Tianshuo understood instantly and took out a bank card: "This is a black gold card with a limit of one million yuan. Use it first, and come to me if it's not enough!"
Shen Xingchen pondered for another moment: "I'm at Tier 1 peak now, and I'm currently lacking a powerful cultivation technique."
Director Li Tianshuo: "This is the jade token of the Municipal Library; you can freely choose any cultivation technique you like!"
Shen Xingchen: "Look at my dad's physical condition; it's very hard for me to cultivate with peace of mind."
Director Li Tianshuo didn't hesitate in the slightest and felt Shen Zhennan's pulse.
Then he knitted his brows.
Shen Xingchen knitted his brows as well.
Why couldn't the most important matter be handled?
Director Li Tianshuo thought about it and said: "Your father's injury was caused by a top-tier imperial family member among the demons. Its methods were extremely sinister and vicious; while shattering his meridians, it left behind a strand of dark, chilly Qi, which is why your esteemed father has not healed after all this time."
"Can it be cured?" Shen Xingchen was full of hope, his heart feeling apprehensive.
If the director had no way, then there truly might be no way left.
"There is still a way!"
