At this moment, most of the city's high-ranking officials are with their families, preparing to drift off to sleep.

The city lord was in a high-end hotel.

"Hehehe, little baby."

"I'm here to learn a foreign language!" The city lord walked into the room, eager to learn a foreign language.

Being good at foreign languages ??is great.

Mastering a foreign language means you can travel the world without fear.

Just as the city lord was preparing to demonstrate his spirit of striving for excellence and studying hard.

His handheld device lit up.

A notification popped up.

In this communication, a command was sent directly.

It came from the Galaxy Governor's Office.

Upon seeing this message, the city lord suddenly stood up.

You should know that although he is the city lord.

But on this planet, there are at least fifty, if not a hundred, city lords like him.

How could they possibly receive orders directly from the Galaxy Governor's Office under normal circumstances?

He didn't even consider whether the information was true or false.

It contains the code of the Galaxy Governor's Office, and you can also call back directly to verify the authenticity of the information.

Furthermore, the command above is not a special command.

He was simply told to go to a certain police station immediately.

The time and location are given.

Such an order, even if forged, would be worthless.

The time requirement is within ten minutes.

He's setting off now and expects to reach his destination in five minutes.

He immediately contacted his driver.

"The car must be waiting for me at the elevator exit on the basement level immediately." After saying that.

Without saying a word, the city lord dressed himself and left the hotel room.

The foreign language teacher was left standing there in a daze.

I don't know what's going on.

We agreed on one-on-one foreign language lessons.

Why did it end so quickly?

The driver, who was in the basement parking lot at that moment, hung up the phone.

He glanced at the time.

It had only been ten minutes since their city lord went up there.

Including the time spent going upstairs, taking off clothes, and showering.

That means we only have two or three minutes left at most.

Although he knew that his city lord usually only lasted ten minutes at most.

But isn't this happening way too fast today?

Just as the driver was puzzled.

The hurried figure had already appeared at the elevator entrance.

The car door was opened.

"Go to the Public Security Bureau."

"You must be there within five minutes!" the city lord said solemnly.

"yes."

Why go to the police station in the middle of the night?

Has something happened?

The driver didn't dare ask any more questions; his intuition told him that something serious had definitely happened.

However, his professional ethics told him that at this time, he should just watch what he said and what he saw, and do what he was supposed to do.

drive!

The vehicle sped along.

The city lord requested five minutes, and he arrived at the entrance of the police station in less than three and a half minutes.

"Open the door!" the driver said to the guard at the door, rolling down the window.

"Show your identification."

"The police station is not handling any business right now," the guard said impatiently.

So many things happening in the middle of the night.

They just went out to arrest someone, and now more people are coming.

Normally, I would have already been slacking off and going to sleep by this time.

"The Public Security Bureau operates 24 hours a day."

"What do you mean by saying we won't receive you?" The back window rolled down, revealing the city lord's face as he looked at the guard.

The guards naturally recognized their city lord and immediately greeted him with a smile, "It's the city lord."

I'm sorry, I didn't see that it was the city lord.

I was just talking nonsense and spouting gibberish.

Please don't take offense.

"You've come in person, and you want me to personally go and inform the bureau chief?"

"No need, don't tell anyone I'm here." The city lord recalled the message.

The above only requires me to come here within the specified time.

I didn't ask myself to do anything.

Doing anything unnecessary now could lead to trouble.

His cautious and meticulous nature over the years has made him consider things very thoroughly before acting.

The vehicle was simply parked in the yard.

He noticed that the courtyard, which should have been quite empty at this time of day, was still filled with cars today.

"A mission today?"

"So many cars parked here?" the city lord asked the guard.

"This...I...I'm not quite sure." The guard hesitated, unsure of what to say.

The city lord realized that this guy must be hiding something.

He said with an air of authority, "Is it that you can't say, or that you don't want to say?"

The threatening meaning in these words is quite obvious.

The guard swallowed hard and could only honestly say, "Tonight, we suddenly received an alarm."

The deputy city lord's son was beaten by a stranger in a restaurant.

Our bureau chief led a team directly to make the arrest.

Deputy City Lord?

Arrest?

Then, considering the fact that I was brought here...

The city lord felt somewhat uneasy.

"What is the identity of the person who was arrested?"

"I don't know, it seems to be an employee of the Governor's Office."

"I've scanned your identity information," the guard said.

Employees of the Governor's Office?

It would have been impossible for just a few employees of the Governor's Office to cause such a commotion.

Could it be someone from the Governor-General's Office's supervisory and oversight department?

The city lord immediately thought of this most likely possibility.

Immediately, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

If it's an undercover investigation by the Governor-General's Office, then they are undoubtedly there to investigate them.

In that instant, he recalled all the bad things he had done recently.

Although he can be a little greedy and lustful at times.

People would also ask him to do things for them.

But most of the time he sticks to his principles.

He would never do anything particularly outrageous, and after receiving benefits, he would mostly just go through the motions.

He was well aware that the Xiaolong Civilization had just established its Governor's Office, and new officials were always eager to make a splash.

At this moment, we must not go too far.

But the people under his command are another story.

Especially his trusted son, the deputy city lord's son, who was used to being arrogant and domineering.

Back in the Dax Empire civilization, I worked for a certain family of administrators.

The family of that administrator was on the yellow list, which is why they were not punished.

If it really was that guy's bastard son who caused this trouble.

He'll have to think about it carefully.

Never let your subordinates cause trouble and implicate you.

"Where is that person?" the city lord asked.

"The person is in the interrogation room."

"That young master said he wanted to wear a combat exoskeleton and interrogate those people thoroughly," the guard said in detail.

"What?" The city lord was greatly surprised, and he subconsciously prepared to walk into the police station.

We want to control the situation before it escalates.

But at this very moment...

A message popped up on his handheld device.

It still belongs to the Governor-General's Office.

"Standing in the courtyard."

Once everyone has arrived.

At the same time, the deputy city lord also arrived.

If he doesn't show up within five minutes, you know the consequences.

Signed: Galaxy Governor's Office

Who are you waiting for?

Who else will come?

The city lord swallowed hard.

Sure enough, this must be the Governor-General's Inspectorate.

It seems it's time for me to cut ties with that guy.

Although it would mean losing a lot of benefits, it was more important for his career.

Moreover, he had warned him long ago that his son was very arrogant outside.

Sooner or later, he'll get into trouble.

It's entirely reasonable that he himself failed in raising his son, and is now like a lizard losing its tail.

I've thought all of this through.

He composed himself and contacted the deputy city lord using his handheld terminal.

"Lord City Lord, what brings you here in the middle of the night?" The deputy city lord's voice was very friendly.

I'll send you an address.

"You must be here within five minutes." The city lord's words were extremely cold at this moment, completely devoid of the friendship the two had previously shared.

The deputy city lord also sensed something amiss in those words.

He tentatively asked, "Lord City Lord, has something happened?"

Could you give me a heads-up?

"I have nothing to say."

Deputy City Lord, some things, once they happen, cannot be undone.

All I can say is...

If you don't show up in front of me within five minutes...

You will bear the consequences.

After the city lord finished speaking, he hung up the communication.

He didn't know if he was being monitored by the governor's men, so he couldn't say too much.

But in his heart, he had already cursed this guy a thousand times over.

You'd better come over here honestly and handle this matter properly.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will affect my future.

Then you, your little brat, and your whole family will never have an easy time!

This is what the city lord is thinking right now.

The next few minutes were a long wait.

However, it wasn't the deputy city lord who arrived first.

Instead, it was a shuttle that swooped down and landed directly on the police station's helipad.

The shuttle cabin door opened, and a figure appeared before everyone.

The guards were about to go up and question who dared to drive the shuttle directly into the police station when...

The city lord took the initiative to go and greet him.

He said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Excellency, Galaxy Executive Officer!"

The city lord was bent over, his forehead covered in sweat.

He was now certain that the guy's son had definitely committed some serious crime.

Extortion and market manipulation?

Arson, murder, and looting?

Or did they do something even more outrageous?

Never mind, I have to cut ties with this guy tonight.

Why did I come?

You can't possibly not know.

"I think your time as city lord is truly over!" The galactic executive officer's face was extremely ugly at this moment.

He received a message from the Governor's Office.

The message was simple.

He was a big shot from the Xiaolong civilization. While inspecting this planet, he was arrested by the locals using their privileges and taken to the security bureau.

It allows messages to be sent directly from the Governor's Office.

The identity of this important figure is self-evident.

These little brats are always getting themselves into trouble; they never give themselves a moment's peace.

So he rushed over without stopping.

Hearing the galactic executive's questioning words.

The city lord's guess was pretty much right.

He immediately said, "Officer, I don't know what happened either."

I received the order from the Governor's Office and rushed over immediately.

If someone really did something illegal or disorderly in the city I governed.

I will handle this strictly and will not let a single bad apple get away with it!

"Hmph, that's for the best." The galactic executive snorted and prepared to walk towards the police station.

He can only pray that things haven't gotten to the point of no return.

Otherwise, he really would have wanted to kill all of them.

You see, he had received the news.

Because of his outstanding performance over the past few months, he has the potential to become the chief executive officer of several planets, governing multiple planets, and also serving as the deputy governor in the governor's office.

If it's just because of this current matter.

It ruined his future.

He would absolutely tear these guys in front of him to pieces, drink their blood and eat their flesh!

"Yes, yes, yes..." The city lord also prepared to quickly follow.

Just then, a car sped by.

They also broke into the police station compound.

This time, the guards didn't dare to come.

He realized that the police department had a gathering of elites tonight.

None of them were people he could afford to offend.

He should just stay put and avoid getting into trouble.

The vehicle came to a complete stop.

A middle-aged man ran off the bus, panting.

"Lord City Lord, do you have a suitable one...?"

Your Excellency!

"What are you doing here?" The deputy city lord not only saw the city lord, but also the executive officer of their planet, and looked on with disbelief.

How did I get here?

"That's a question for you to answer." The galactic executive glared at the two men through gritted teeth.

The city lord looked at his usually trusted deputy city lord with murderous intent.

"What exactly happened?"

"You'll have to ask your precious son about that yourself."

Hearing the unfriendly words from the galaxy executive and the city lord.

The deputy city lord immediately guessed what was going on.

Could it be that my unfilial son has done something again?

Moreover, it even attracted the galactic executive.

If that's the case, then he'll have to find a solution.

The three of them walked into the police station together.

The deputy city lord quietly walked up to the city lord and whispered, "Your Majesty the City Lord."

Could you tell me what exactly happened?

I will repay you handsomely afterwards.

In the past, the city lord would definitely have helped him.

But this time...

When the city lord saw him approaching, he immediately retreated several steps as if he had touched something dirty.

He feigned surprise and said, "What do you mean by that?"

I don't know anything about this either.

There's nothing I can do to help you.

You'll know once you go inside and take a look.

Whatever the matter, we will handle it according to the law and will never let any guilty person go unpunished.

not good.

Something terrible is about to happen!

The deputy city lord immediately sensed something was wrong.

In this situation, the city lord directly distanced himself from the matter, which is enough to demonstrate the other party's attitude.

My little rascal must have offended something incredible.

His mind started racing.

He thought of his brother-in-law, who worked at the governor's office.

The reason he was able to stand out from several deputy city lords and become a candidate for the future city lord was...

A large part of the reason is because his brother-in-law is behind him.

That brother-in-law was a favorite of the governor.

If this matter is really serious, then we'll have no choice but to use our brother-in-law's connections.

He quietly pressed a few buttons on his handheld device and sent a message to his sister.

Sister, your nephew is in trouble, please ask your brother-in-law for help!
