Chapter 101: You are Xiao Wang?
Xiao Wang looked at Hu Guangzhong. He looked to be in his fifties, with gray hair combed back. He was about 1.75 meters tall, thin, and looked energetic. His eyes, in particular, were bright and piercing, yet calm and unfathomable.
Xiao Wang pretended to be like everyone else, smiling and offering his congratulations.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hu Guangzhong led the group into the center of the banquet hall and seated them in the very middle.
He then walked up to the front of the stage and scanned everyone present with his eyes.
"Thank you all for attending my banquet today. It is thanks to your support that I have been able to reach this position. I would especially like to thank Councilor Zhang Qirui, who came all the way from the inner city to attend this banquet. Without his recommendation at the Yuanshan City Council, I would not be in this position. I would also like to thank Director Ma Jincheng. Without his support, I would not be where I am today. I would also like to thank Deputy Director Wei for his cooperation and understanding in my work. In addition, I would like to thank the team leaders for their strong support. Team Leader Wen Lujia, Guan Zhongnan, Chu Xianchao, and everyone else present. I will not say anything more. I, Hu Guangzhong, would like to thank you all for your support and hope you enjoy the banquet today."
After Hu Guangzhong finished speaking, he prepared to step down from the stage. At this moment, one of the men who had come in with him suddenly said, "Director Hu, there's another piece of good news to announce as well."
"I'd better not talk about it, after all, it's a private matter."
"That's not a private matter. As the deputy director of the police station, your competence represents the level of security in the outer city of Yuanshan."
Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone became curious and started calling out to Hu Guangzhong.
"Director Hu, since this is such a joyous occasion, let's make it even more festive!"
"Yes, Director Hu, there are no outsiders here, so let's share the joy."
Xiao Wang wore a fake smile. He had been silently observing Hu Guangzhong. From the moment the man entered, he judged that Hu Guangzhong was definitely not just a gunman, but also a martial artist. He could tell from his figure, posture and walking posture.
"I just don't know how good they are?"
Xiao Wang thought that someone who could sit in the position of deputy director of the police station must not be an ordinary person.
Just as he was pondering, Hu Guangzhong, standing on the platform, looked at the enthusiastic crowd below and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll share with you all some good news, which is also a personal achievement of mine. I won't hide it from you, but just a couple of days ago, I managed to break through the first limit of martial arts, the flesh limit."
These words immediately caused an uproar in the audience.
"What?! You've broken through the first limit of martial arts?"
"That's incredible. To break through the first limit of martial arts at such a young age shows his remarkable perseverance. Director Hu is amazing."
"Wait, isn't Director Hu a gunner?"
"Who says someone who trains in firearms can't practice martial arts?"
"Indeed, congratulations Director Hu, congratulations Director Hu, double happiness in one day!"
The congratulations were endless and lingered for a long time.
Xiao Wang was stunned, something he hadn't expected at all. But he quickly realized his abnormality and immediately adjusted his expression and movements, becoming no different from the others.
But his heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Has he broken through the first limit of martial arts?
Isn't he a gunner?
Only now did Xiao Wang realize just how powerful his enemy was.
"From this perspective, he is an extraordinary person in terms of both martial arts and firearms."
Wen Lujia and Wei Zi, who were standing next to her, were equally surprised by the result.
Wei Zi: "Jiajia, from now on, you won't be the only one in the police station to break through the first limit of martial arts. I really didn't expect that Deputy Director Hu would have such a high level of martial arts cultivation."
Wen Lujia: "There's nothing special about it. In addition, several other captains are not only proficient in firearms, but also quite skilled in martial arts. They just haven't broken through the first limit yet."
After Hu Guangzhong finished speaking on the podium, he ordered the dishes to be served.
The double doors opened, and staff brought out various dishes and drinks and placed them on the table. Xiao Wangwen, Lu Jia, and Wei Zi sat at the table at the back and began to eat.
Hu Guangzhong, holding a glass of wine, went from table to table offering toasts. When he reached their table, he specifically raised his glass to Wen Lujia, saying, "Captain Wen, thank you for your strong support of our work."
"Director Hu, you're too kind. It's just my job."
Hu Guangzhong then glanced around the table, his gaze finally settling on Xiao Wang. "And this is? I haven't seen him before."
Wen Lujia quickly introduced, "This is my subordinate, Xiao Wang."
"Xiao Wang? That name sounds familiar, but I don't think I've ever seen him before."
"The new intern just received a third-class merit award."
"Oh, I remember now, you're Xiao Wang, the one who earned a third-class merit right after starting your internship? Young man, you're quite something."
As Hu Guangzhong spoke, he raised his own wine glass and clinked it against Xiao Wang's.
Xiao Wang remained calm and composed, raising his glass to clink with Hu Guangzhong's, "Thank you for your praise, Director Hu."
After toasting at this table, Hu Guangzhong went to the next table.
Xiao Wang glanced at Hu Guangzhong's back and thought that killing him would probably require a long-term plan.
Just as Xiao Wang was lost in thought, Wen Lujia nudged his elbow. "How was it? I made the right decision bringing you here, didn't I?"
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "Thank you, Captain. I've had a very fruitful trip."
As Xiao Wang answered, he thought to himself that if he hadn't come to the banquet, the man might have made his move soon, and he might not have gotten revenge but instead have been easily killed.
In this sense, attending this banquet was like being given a second chance at life; it was truly a life-saving grace.
"Come on, Captain, let me toast you." Xiao Wang said, raising his glass to clink with Wen Lujia's. "Thank you for saving my life."
Wen Lujia was taken aback. "A life-saving grace?"
"That doesn't matter, come on, let's do it."
Wen Lujia downed a glass of wine with a puzzled look on her face.
"The captain has already made a toast, so shouldn't I, as the firearms instructor, also make a toast?" Wei Zi joked from the side.
"Absolutely! Come on, Coach Wei, we're counting on you for our gun licenses."
"If you tell me the method for shooting at 80 meters, then getting a gun license is easy."
"Coach Wei, I have always respected your fairness and impartiality, but I never expected you to be this kind of person."
"roll."
Just as the three were joking around, a man with graying hair walked over from the middle table in the front row.
Xiao Wang knew from the seat he was sitting that he was no ordinary person.
After arriving at their table, he first toasted Wen Lujia, saying, "Jiajia, a toast to you. You've been doing a great job lately."
"Director Wei, what are you saying? It's just my duty."
"Hey! Don't call me Director Wei when we're out, just call me Uncle Wei."
"Yes, Uncle Wei."
After Wei Hui and Wen Lujia finished their drinks, they glanced at Xiao Wang beside them. "This one looks unfamiliar. Who is he?"
