I walked in and smiled, "What instructions do you have, Lord Xu? Feel free to give your orders."
Xu Yuanzheng said coldly, "Lord Ye seems to be quite impressive lately!"
I was taken aback and replied with a smile, "Not at all, I've just been doing my job."
Xu Yuanzheng sneered and said, "Doing your job? It seems like you've gone a bit overboard, haven't you?"
I was puzzled and responded, "What do you mean by that, Lord Xu? I'm not quite sure I understand."
Xu Yuanzheng glared at me and said, "Don't understand? Hmph! You're really good at playing dumb! The cases you've handled recently seem to be ones that our Shadow Bureau had already grasped. What gives you the right to take credit for our work?"
I was stunned and suddenly realized that Xu Yuanzheng had come for this matter.
He smiled slightly and said, "Lord Xu might be misunderstanding. Our Shadow Garb Bureau has no intention of stealing the credit from the Shadow Bureau; we are merely acting on orders."
Xu Yuanzheng coldly replied, "Acting on orders? Whose orders are you following?"
I answered, "Of course, it's Lord Feng's orders."
Xu Yuanzheng sneered, "Don't use Lord Feng to pressure me. Let me tell you, I see everything you do; I know very well what's going on! I'm here today to tell you that your Courier Camp shouldn't go too far. Leave some room for others; it will make future encounters easier!"
I smiled and said, "You're right, Lord Xu. In the future, our Shadow Garb Bureau will definitely cooperate more with the Shadow Bureau, supporting each other as we serve Xiazhu together."
Xu Yuanzheng was taken aback and angrily said, "Don't give me that! Let me tell you, your Shadow Garb Bureau should enjoy its success while it lasts; one day I will deal with you!"
I nodded and replied, "I've noted your words, Lord Xu."
Xu Yuanzheng shot me a glare before turning and walking out.
Zhuang Xian glanced at me with a sigh before following him out.
I watched Xu Yuanzheng's retreating figure and secretly laughed; this Xu Yuanzheng really couldn't keep his cool over such a trivial matter.
I am no longer the inexperienced young man I once was; I have matured and am no longer afraid.
No matter how much Xu Yuanzheng tries to intimidate me, it doesn't matter to me.
Although Xu Yuanzheng is formidable, I am not afraid of him. We are all serving Xiazhu, and no one is superior to anyone else.
I sat back down in my chair and continued eating.
After just a few bites, someone came over and sat down in front of me.
I looked up and saw it was Zhuang Xian.
Zhuang Xian looked at me, smiled, and said, "Yifan, don't take Lord Xu's words to heart; that's just his temperament."
I nodded and replied, "I understand."
Zhuang Xian sighed and said, "Actually, Lord Xu has it tough too. Life in the Shadow Capture Division is not easy; they are under a lot of pressure from above while those below are quite lax. It's hard for him as the leader."
I was taken aback, realizing why Xu Yuanzheng was so angry; it turned out to be because of this.
I smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Lord Zhuang."
Zhuang Xian smiled back and said, "You're welcome. As your direct supervisor, I naturally need to care for you more."
I nodded and said, "I'll remember that."
Zhuang Xian smiled again and said, "Then take your time eating; I will take my leave now."
I nodded and replied, "Safe travels, Lord Zhuang."
Zhuang Xian stood up and turned to leave.
I watched Zhuang Xian's back, sneering inwardly. This Zhuang Xian was clearly not a good person; his earlier words were obviously meant to sow discord.
Zhuang Xian clearly wanted to provoke a conflict between me and Xu Yuanzheng, hoping to reap the benefits from the chaos.
I certainly wouldn't fall for his tricks. What I needed to do now was stabilize the situation and wait for the right moment.
After finishing my meal, I returned to the Administrative Hall, feeling quite pleased.
Now that all the troubles had been resolved, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
From now on, I could fully unleash my potential and realize my ambitions.
Of course, Xu Yuanzheng would not let things rest easily; he might still come looking for trouble.
But I wasn't afraid. As long as Lord Feng was around, Xu Yuanzheng wouldn't dare to do anything to me.
Now, I needed to consider how to leverage my relationship with Xu Yuanzheng.
Although Xu Yuanzheng harbored animosity towards me, we were both under the shadow of the Military Affairs Office, so there would inevitably be opportunities for cooperation.
If I could collaborate with Xu Yuanzheng, my strength would increase significantly, giving me a better chance of defeating my opponents.
