Chapter 032: The Soul of Huaxia

Seeing the troubled expression on Nan Gong Qingyu’s face, Chen Xiao changed the subject and asked, “What should we do with these five?”
Chen Xiao walked up to the five people crying on the ground, gave them a light kick, then asked.
Nan Gong Qingyu went over to Nakata Rudo and searched him, taking out a pure-steel USB drive before saying, “I need to take this Nakata Rudo back for processing. As for the other four, just kill them.”
Her tone was calm, but it was filled with utter anger. Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but shiver. He had seen dead people before, but for a girl to so casually speak of killing, it still made him feel uneasy.
But when he remembered the world of supernatural abilities, a world ruled by the law of the jungle, he suddenly understood—probably not much longer before he would become like her too.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Chen Xiao suddenly saw a blur before his eyes, and a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him.
“Qingyu, how’s it going?” a slightly hoarse male voice asked.
“Team leader, you’re here,” Nan Gong Qingyu said with delight upon seeing the man. She then recounted what had happened, though she didn’t mention much about the earlier events due to Chen Xiao’s presence.
The suddenly appearing man took the USB drive from Nan Gong Qingyu, pondered for a moment, then smiled.
“Thank you this time, young Chen Xiao. Otherwise, the country would have suffered severe losses. Let me introduce myself—I’m Yu Ye Xiao Chen, head of the Security Bureau of Huaxia and leader of the Yan Huang Zhi Soul team.” With that, he extended his hand.
Chen Xiao was surprised. He didn’t expect the other party to reveal his identity so readily. Then he quickly realized that the leader of this group wanted to recruit him.
“Hello,” Chen Xiao said with a smile, extending his hand as well.
“Team leader, what should we do with these people?” Nan Gong Qingyu spoke up. Now that Yu Ye Xiao Chen had arrived, she no longer had the authority to handle them on her own.
“Take them back and hand them over to the Security Bureau’s underground court,” Yu Ye Xiao Chen replied. Unlike Nan Gong Qingyu, he was much more rational and didn’t want to kill the five right away.
“Brother Chen Xiao, are you interested in coming with us to the headquarters of Huaxia Zhi Soul?” Yu Ye Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
“I’m in,” Chen Xiao said. He had expected this outcome. Of course, he had no objections. Joining such a government agency sounded good. After all, he already had the identity of a gang member, so he had no problem working for both the underworld and government.
Seeing that Chen Xiao had no objections, Yu Ye Xiao Chen knew he wasn’t resistant to joining Huaxia Zhi Soul.
With a gesture of his hand, the five people lying on the ground somehow floated up and headed outside the grove.
“Let’s go,” Yu Ye Xiao Chen said, smiling at the stunned Chen Xiao.
“Mm,” Chen Xiao also recovered from his shock and followed Yu Ye Xiao Chen and Nan Gong Qingyu outside.

During that time, Yuye Xiaochen made a phone call. Soon after, an unremarkable small truck arrived.
“Qingyu, this time it was your impulsiveness,” Yuye Xiaochen said as they got into the truck, signaling the driver to drive off before blaming her. As for the five people led by Nakata Rudo, they were simply thrown into the cargo hold.
“That Nakata Rudo—the Security Bureau has been watching him for a while. They just wanted to use him to uncover more potential traitors. If not for you… well, never mind.”
Yuye Xiaochen sighed, not holding her to too strict account. Nan Gong Qingyu seemed to realize she had indeed made a mistake this time, her eyes reddening. Not only had she scared away Nakata Rudo and nearly ruined national affairs, but she had also almost lost her own life. If not for Chen Xiao stepping in, the consequences could have been unimaginable.
As for Yuye Xiaochen, after hearing Nan Gong Qingyu’s account and seeing Chen Xiao eliminate those five second-tier ninjas in an instant, he couldn’t help but consider recruiting her.
It was then that Chen Xiao,with the help of the light inside the truck, finally got a clear look at the two of them.
Nan Gong Qingyu appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen, dressed in red casual clothes. With her bright eyes, long eyelashes, and plump cheeks, she was extremely cute, like a peach—so adorable one might want to pinch her.
With tears in her eyes now, she looked even more pitiable. Even Chen Xiao, who had long been exposed to Shui Miao’s stunning beauty, couldn’t help but be stirred.
Looking at Yuye Xiaochen sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Xiao was even more shocked. He had assumed, as the leader of a group called the Soul of China, that he would be in his thirties or forties—a composed middle-aged man. But to his surprise, the man was actually just a twenty- or twenty-one-year-old with a fair and delicate face. Moreover, he wore glasses on his nose due to myopia. It was only his hoarse voice that had prevented Chen Xiao from making a judgment earlier.
Feeling Chen Xiao’s alternating emotions of excitement and surprise, Nan Gong Qingyu, who had been tearful moments ago, couldn’t help but laugh.
The medium-sized truck slowly headed toward the center of Jinghua City. The headquarters of the Soul of China, hidden among the crowds, was located in a seemingly ordinary office building in the city center.
Someone was already waiting there. Upon seeing Yuye Xiaochen and Nan Gong Qingyu return, they discreetly brought the five people led by Nakata Rudo into the office building.
“Qingyu is really ruthless—she broke all five of those guys’ limbs. But given her personality, she probably would have broken even their fifth limb,” said a young man with an orange-red mohawk, smiling mischievously. Nan Gong Qingyu glared at him fiercely but said nothing.
Yuye Xiaochen shook his head slightly and said, “Enough. Let’s talk about it when we get back.”
After that, he said no more and led Chen Xiao into the office building, taking the elevator straight to the tenth basement floor.
To ordinary people, this office building had at most five basement floors, but the members of the Soul of China could use special passages to access the tenth basement floor, which was their headquarters.
It was in a room that resembled a meeting room.

“Alright, let me introduce him. This is Brother Chen Xiao. Thanks to his actions tonight, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable—not only would the country suffer severe losses, but we might never see our dear Sister Nan Gong Qingyu again.”
Yu Ye Xiao Chen adjusted his glasses and said it half-jokingly.
Besides Yu Ye Xiao Chen and Nan Gong Qingyu, there were three others present: a burly bald young man, one with an orange-red mohawk, and another young man as gentle and refined as Yu Ye Xiao Chen.
These people all shared one common trait—they were all under twenty-five years old.
“Team leader,” at that moment, a woman in a blue uniform walked in from outside. “Team leader, the headquarters of the North China Superpowers Association just sent a message. Higher-ranking vampires from the West have appeared in the Yan Hun Region, so we need to keep an eye on the situation in the secular world.”
The Yan Hun Region was precisely the area where the North China Superpowers Association was located.
