Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Otherwise, no one could force me to participate in such a thing." Due to the secrecy surrounding the matter, Liu Ning didn't tell Wang Laohu any of this. Our Wang family has also trained many of our own people, but right now our influence is only limited to this city. If he didn't explain things properly, it probably wouldn't be easy to let the matter pass, and Old Master Wang would definitely harbor resentment.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. I know how troublesome these people are, but I'm not so easy to deal with either. These guys certainly know what I want. If they try to cause trouble in this matter, I will never let them off the hook. Our deal is perfectly fair. If these people try to play tricks, I can terminate the deal with them at any time. I have that right. Besides, I also feel that this matter is a bit strange. Otherwise, no one could force me to participate in such a thing."
Due to the secrecy surrounding the matter, Liu Ning didn't tell Wang Laohu any of this. Wang Laohu, being an employee of the system, naturally understood that he could ask what he should ask and resolutely avoided asking what he shouldn't. This matter concerned the Human Investigation Bureau, and Wang Laohu wished he had never heard of it. Any connection with this department meant endless trouble. If they had even the slightest problem, they would immediately take you back for investigation. If it weren't for Liu Ning's involvement, Wang Laohu wouldn't have made this special trip. He would have preferred to sign the papers and leave as quickly as possible. Since these matters were handled by the Human Investigation Bureau, we should give them the green light. Please don't get involved with us; that would be a bad thing. This is all based on past experience.
Wang Laohu was very clear about Liu Ning's personality. If anyone really wanted to force Liu Ning, it would be absolutely impossible in the current situation. Liu Ning had quite a temper, and if someone tried to force him, he would probably have broken their head long ago. So Wang Laohu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he hadn't known Liu Ning for long, he knew that this guy would never act recklessly. Although he wasn't very old, he was very thoughtful in his actions. Just like last time when he went to Windmill City, Liu Ning, with the mindset of a young child, accomplished so many amazing things and was even able to come back alive. This had already surpassed many old people.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Ning explained to Wang Laohu that the matter had been handled too hastily. If it hadn't been so rushed, Liu Ning would definitely have chosen to explain things properly to the father and son. After all, the two men in charge were high-ranking military officials in the city. If they misunderstood, Liu Ning might not be able to continue working here. Of course, the friendship between the two sides was also very strong, so this matter could be explained slowly later.
"I won't say anything more, and I know very well what you're thinking. But there are some things I need to remind you. Although you have your own army, you can't let your personal interests get too strong. Our Wang family has also trained many of our own people, but right now our influence is only limited to this city. Why is that? It's because of the old man's fearless spirit. Whenever there's a problem among humanity, the old man will send out his most elite troops. Because the old man often says that the reason we train these guys is to protect the lives and property of the people. If we retreat when faced with such a situation, what's the point of training them?"
After reviewing all the documents, Wang Laohu solemnly saluted Liu Ning. From this moment on, Liu Ning was not only his friend but also his colleague—a very formal one at that. Wang Laohu needed to change his perspective on this, so he had to be extremely respectful. Moreover, there were people from the Human Investigation Bureau present. If he hadn't saluted, they might have remembered it. Normally, no one would say anything, but if someone wanted to target him, it would be a grave offense of disrespect. While this wasn't strictly enforced in this era, it was still a stain on his record. Wang Laohu was always very cautious and certainly wouldn't give anyone any leverage over him.
Watching Wang Laohu's retreating figure, Liu Ning felt a deep respect for the family. However, Liu Ning also knew that Wang Laohu was not entirely comfortable with the situation, as he had overstepped his bounds and needed to find a way to compensate them. In the past, the entire city's army was under their control. Although there had been some individuals like Deputy Commander Kong, they were at least able to maintain overall control. But things were different now. In addition to an armored regiment, Liu Ning now had a fully equipped infantry division under his command, which was a considerable number for them. Their control had decreased significantly compared to before. Even though the two sides were very close allies, this matter concerned their core interests. If he didn't explain things properly, it probably wouldn't be easy to let the matter pass, and Old Master Wang would definitely harbor resentment.
After finishing these tasks, Liu Ning handed some documents to Jin Zi. Now that Jin Zi and Fatty Wu were jointly managing the army, Liu Ning naturally didn't have the time to handle these matters. Jin Zi had gained experience, so Liu Ning didn't need to say much. No matter what kind of construction was involved, they could handle it properly. Judging from the current situation, the combination of these two was quite good. What Liu Ning needed to do now was go back to seclusion. Of course, Liu Ning wasn't really going into seclusion; he was just completing the tasks for them. However, he would announce to the outside world that he was going into seclusion to cultivate. After all, they were about to enter the ancient ruins. Liu Ning's announcement won the belief of most people. The ancient ruins were no small matter, so Liu Ning's actions were normal.
Jinzi and the others instructed Liu Ning to focus on his cultivation and not to concern himself with outside affairs. They were not qualified to enter the ancient ruins, but they understood one thing: anyone who came out of the ancient ruins was generally very powerful. So they wanted Liu Ning to complete everything properly, otherwise nothing good would come of it. In this situation, they knew they couldn't hold Liu Ning back; they had to finish their own tasks first.
Of course, Fatty Wu and Jinzi also felt that things were developing too fast. The armored regiment had just been set up, and suddenly they wanted to establish an infantry division. Wasn't this a joke? The higher-ups dared to approve it. We didn't have that many professional military personnel here. Everything could only be done by feeling our way across the river. We also had to be wary of the officers who came over. Who knew who was behind them?
