A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 353 Turning a blind eye

Back in District L, Chao Bufan went straight to the entertainment complex where Shanji worked. He had already called on the way back. Shanji was waiting in his office. When he saw Chao Bufan enter, he quickly stood up to greet him respectfully, "Big Brother,"

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Shanji, go and call Baihe's father, Baichuan. I need to talk to him."

The pheasant replied, "Yes, brother."

With that, Shanji left. Soon after, Shanji and Baichuan entered one after the other. Baichuan raised his hand and said, "Young Master Chao, you wanted to see me?"

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Village Chief, I have a favor to ask you."

Bai Chuan smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Chao, you are too kind. Please feel free to give any instructions, and I will do my best to help."

Chao Bufan said, "It's like this, I've reached an agreement with a tomb raiding company, and we'll be raiding the treasures inside the S-generation emperor's tomb in the next couple of days. I need manpower, so I'd like to trouble you to bring some people with you."

Without asking why, Baichuan said, "No problem."

Chao Bufan said to Shanji, "Shanji, you go too. I promised to split the profits 50/50 with them. As for the details, you go and talk to them. After the things inside are exposed to the light, you tell Xiao Jin and the others to take people over and take control of them all. We want all the valuables inside, understand?"

Upon hearing this, the pheasant replied, "Understood."

Chao Bufan nodded, then flicked his finger, instantly sending a message into Shanji and Baichuan's minds. He said, "This is the company's address and the location of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. The boss of the tomb-raiding company is surnamed Ma. Go there first thing tomorrow morning. After the deal is settled, you can start work. Tomb raiding is illegal, so the fewer people who know about it, the better. Choose a good location and find a way to get Boss Ma to help you dig an underground tunnel to get there."

"yes, Sir."

"That's all, Village Chief, you can go back to your work now!"

"Yes."

It was already 8:30 p.m. when I left the entertainment center. As soon as I stepped out, my phone rang. I saw it was my old superior calling. I answered, only to be met with a barrage of angry words from him: "You brat, where the hell have you been? Why aren't you back yet?"

Chao Bufan chuckled and said, "You're back, you're back. Old Chief, is there something you need?"

"What do you think? The Chairman has been waiting for you all day, and you're still nowhere to be seen. Hurry up and come over; we're with Old Tang." With that, he hung up the phone.

"Huh?" Chao Bufan was startled, frowning as he thought to himself, "Why does the Chairman want to see me? Another mission?"

Haotian Building.

Old Tang, the old commander, the four army commanders, and the boss were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and talking when Chao Bufan came in. The old commander immediately scolded him: "You brat, I told you yesterday that the boss would be coming today, but you only showed up now."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan looked bitter and said, "Old Chief, I've got something to do!"

"What a trivial matter."

Chao Bufan gave another wry smile and said, "Alright, alright, Chief Murong, Bufan has something to do, so don't blame him."

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "Boss, is there something you need?"

The old leader retorted, "Isn't that obvious? The boss is busy with countless affairs every day, why would he need to call you out for nothing?"

Chao Bufan chuckled, but inwardly cursed: "You old commander, have you taken a bomb? Is it really necessary to be so confrontational?"

The leader smiled and said, "Bufan, I came here specifically to commend you. You and your anti-drug team did an excellent job in this international drug trafficking case, completely eradicating this scourge that harms the country. As I said last time, once you take down this drug trafficking gang, I will give you and your members a certain reward."

Old Tang chimed in, "Bufan, we discussed it with the boss. We originally planned to give each member of your anti-drug team a military rank, but for some reason, it's not very realistic. So, we'll skip the promotions and just give each member of your anti-drug team a certain bonus. Of course, the boss would also like to hear your opinion."

In other words, since Chao Bufan was originally a soldier and had so many subordinates, it was unrealistic for him to be promoted. So he laughed and said, "I don't mean anything by it, boss. I just hope you can give my Shadow Team a special privilege."

The leader asked, "Bufan, you've assembled an army?"

Chao Bufan naturally understood the Chairman's meaning. Establishing a private army was a major taboo and a crime. So he shook his head and said, "No, when I first formed the Shadow Team, I wanted them to protect me. The people in it are either thugs or gangsters from the streets. They are completely different from the military. I hope the Chairman can give my Shadow Team a universal pass, so that no matter what they do, the state and the military will hold them accountable. Of course, they will never do anything illegal or criminal, and I will not allow them to do it either. Even if it is something even remotely related to illegal or criminal activities, I will not allow them to do it, and they wouldn't dare to do it."

Old Tang said, "Boss, I've seen this extraordinary Shadow Team before. Everything they do is for the country. They played a crucial role in this drug trafficking case!"

Upon hearing this, he nodded and said, "Bufan, I agree to your condition. I will convene a meeting to discuss this matter as soon as I return to the capital."

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "That's for the best."

The head asked, "Bufan, do you have any other requests? If so, please tell us."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "I only have this one request, nothing else."

He said, “Everyone has witnessed what you have done for the country. I know that money and power mean nothing to you now. Chief Murong and Chief of Staff Tang mentioned to me before that I will turn a blind eye to some things, but just don’t go too far, otherwise, people will inevitably gossip.”

Chao Bufan understood that what the chairman was referring to was his all-female special forces unit. After all, they were all his women, and it was already illegal. So he nodded and said, "I know that. I had no choice but to do it."

"Good to know. You need to know when to stop. I won't say anything more. Bufan, there's one thing I need your help with."

Chao Bufan asked, "What is it?"

He said, "I've taken the pills and the ginseng root you gave me last time, but my cultivation hasn't improved very much. Do you know of any ways to improve it as much as possible?"

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Boss, I see that your cultivation has improved a lot!"
