Chapter 411: Chapter 410, Guilty Conscience

"I didn’t mean it that way." Ji Qingzhu looked embarrassed, "What I meant was, you clearly could have spared them. Yes, they are guilty, but they should have faced legal sanctions, not died by your hands."

"Get out of here!" Xu Wendong snorted angrily, "I’ve seen their wanted posters. It clearly said that if encountered, either report them to the police or eliminate them directly."

"It was justified for me to kill them. If I had known you were such an ungrateful woman, I wouldn’t have bothered saving you in the first place." He said, storming off towards the car parked in the distance.

Then he started the car, turned on the headlights, and sped away into the dust.

Ji Qingzhu immediately made a phone call.

About twenty minutes later.

Sun Zhaoqiang, the acting director of the Lianyun County Public Security Bureau, arrived with dozens of police officers. After all, the Longjiang Four Tigers were notorious criminals on the run nationwide.

If they could bring this gang down entirely, the case would definitely shock the nation.

They could also bask in the limelight.

"Comrade Ji Qingzhu, I thank you on behalf of all the people for taking down the Longjiang Four Tigers. I never imagined our Lianyun County police force had such a heroic woman like you!" With the Longjiang Four Tigers confirmed dead, Sun Zhaoqiang approached Ji Qingzhu.

At this moment, she was sitting next to an ambulance getting checked.

Han Qingtao, the captain of the traffic police brigade, smiled and said, "Director Sun, Comrade Ji Qingzhu is an outstanding young member of our team, a top graduate from the police academy, and skilled in grappling and military boxing. It’s no surprise she took down the Longjiang Four Tigers by herself!"

Ji Qingzhu was just about to explain that she wasn’t the one who killed the Longjiang Four Tigers when Sun Zhaoqiang’s voice interrupted, "Comrade Ji Qingzhu, focus on recovering from your injuries for now. I will report the situation to the city bureau and provincial department for a commendation."

Just like that.

Ji Qingzhu suddenly transformed from a little-known patrol officer into a heroine in the police force.

This left her feeling a bit like she was dreaming.

But mostly uneasy.

Because she knew she wasn’t the heroine.

The real hero should have been Xu Wendong.

At the same time.

She also realized why Xu Wendong had to kill the Longjiang Four Tigers and leave the crime scene.

He wanted the scene to be left without evidence.

He wanted her to take sole credit.

Thinking about this.

She felt a heaviness in her heart.

Even breathing became difficult.

Xu Wendong wasn’t just her savior, he even gave her the credit for this act.

Yet she accused Xu Wendong of not sparing the Longjiang Four Tigers.

Even said he was cruel-hearted...

Thinking of this, Ji Qingzhu suddenly felt like she was the villainous woman in a novel, hating herself intensely.

Of course.

Xu Wendong didn’t know any of this, as he had already returned to the Colorful Prospect Community. After grabbing some fresh clothes, he took a hot shower.

When he came out, he saw Chen Dong and Wang Luyao sitting in the living room. The couple had just returned from dining out but looked despondent and discouraged.

Seeing Xu Wendong emerge, Wang Luyao couldn’t help but ask, "Wendong, do you know anyone at the Housing Management Bureau? I was thinking if you could help us..."

Before she could finish, Chen Dong interrupted his wife, forcing a smile, "It’s nothing, you go rest!" He gave his wife a resentful look, as if blaming her for mentioning the matter.

Wang Luyao pouted and said, "I just want Wendong to find out how many teacher’s housing quotas there are this time, what’s the problem with that?"

"At least we’ll have some mental preparation. If there are more quotas, we might stand a chance of being selected. If it’s really only three or five units, we better think about scraping together some money for a down payment!" With that, she turned away in frustration, unwilling to talk to her husband.

It was clear she had had enough of renting life.

"So that’s it!" Xu Wendong said with a smile, "I have a friend who works there, he could help find out." He said this as he went inside to fetch his phone and called Yuan Wei.

Yuan Wei was the driver for the director of the Lianyun County Housing Management Bureau.

"Brother Yuan, not too drunk, are you?" Once the call connected, Xu Wendong asked with a chuckle.

Yuan Wei’s loud voice came through the phone, "I’m not tipsy at all yet! I’m not bragging, but two or three bottles don’t faze me one bit."

"Good to hear." Xu Wendong changed the subject, "I heard the Housing Management Bureau is distributing some teacher housing to all county educators, right?"

Yuan Wei responded, "It’s true, there’ll be a computer draw tomorrow morning."

Xu Wendong glanced at the couple in the living room and asked, "I want to find out, how many quotas are available?"

Yuan Wei thought for a moment, "Seems like ten."

Xu Wendong added, "And how many educators are in the lottery?"

"That’s quite a few, if I remember correctly, about eleven hundred," Yuan Wei replied, then asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Xu Wendong explained, "It’s nothing, just got two relatives working in schools, they’ve tried their luck a few times with no success, and they want to know the number of quotas this time to set their expectations."

"If they miss out again, they’ll just borrow some money to make a down payment and buy, can’t wait any longer."

Yuan Wei understood, "Send me your two relatives’ information later, leave the rest to me!"

Xu Wendong hesitated, "Is this alright?"

"What’s the problem?" Yuan Wei retorted, "You don’t really think ordinary people can get housing by chance, do you?"

"Brother, don’t be so naive."

"Alright, I’ll leave it to you, Brother Yuan." Xu Wendong didn’t say much, as Yuan Wei said, ordinary people never get that valuable quota through sheer luck.

If they weren’t using it this time, someone else surely would.

After hanging up, Xu Wendong sent Bai Lu and Chen Dong’s information to Yuan Wei. He then told the couple, "Brother Dong, Sister Luyao, my friend said there are ten quotas this time."

Upon hearing this.

The couple immediately felt hopeless.

So many educators, yet only ten quotas.

With a one percent chance, they didn’t believe they could succeed.

Seeing their downcast expressions, Xu Wendong said, "But don’t worry, my friend will think of something."

He didn’t make any guarantees, in case Yuan Wei couldn’t follow through, and the couple would be left with false hope.

"Let’s leave it to fate!" Chen Dong managed a smile, saying he’d go shower first, and walked to the bedroom for a set of pajamas before heading into the bathroom.

Shortly after, the sound of running water echoed from inside.

Wang Luyao got up and sat beside Xu Wendong, quietly asking, "Wendong, is your relationship with the friend at the Housing Management Bureau solid?"

"Can anything be done, so we can secure one of those quotas?"

"If you can, I won’t forget this favor. Whatever you ask of me, I’ll do it." As she spoke, a soft tenderness revealed itself in her eyes.
