Chapter 861: No Way, Let's Change People
With Sun Yu's personality, if Yang Haoran wanted to see him, he would have to personally visit him, making him feel very embarrassed.
So, when Bai Xue went to the Administrative Bureau to invite him, he initially refused, saying he wouldn't leave with Bai Xue, no matter what. In the end, Bai Xue lost patience and didn't bother arguing with him anymore, instead choosing to use force to take him away.
He was just an ordinary person, and although he had a certain status and position in Lecheng, an ordinary person was still just an ordinary person, without the extraordinary powers of a non-ordinary person. Therefore, when facing Bai Xue, a great demon, he didn't even have the ability to resist, which was why he reluctantly followed Bai Xue here.
Forced by Bai Xue, Sun Yu felt his face was losing dignity, so since arriving here, he hadn't given Yang Haoran a good face, always keeping a cold expression to vent his inner dissatisfaction and remind Yang Haoran that he was in a bad mood.
"What's the urgent matter? The Administration Director is dead, and as the Deputy Administration Director, I have a lot of things to handle. I'm not like Yang Divine Envoy, who has nothing to do."
Yang Haoran's words had just fallen when Sun Yu hurriedly interrupted, his tone revealing obvious impatience.
Regarding Sun Yu's attitude, Yang Haoran's face didn't show any dissatisfaction, still maintaining a gentle smile.
"The Administration Director was assassinated, which is a huge loss for Lecheng. I deeply regret this, but a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. To make Lecheng strong, we need to resist external invasions, and the Administration Director is essential. Without an Administration Director, Lecheng would be like a scattered sand."
Sun Yu sneered coldly upon hearing this.
Yang Haoran smiled faintly and continued to speak.
"Deputy Director Sun's words make me a bit embarrassed. I was just making a suggestion, but does Deputy Director Sun think I'm wrong?"
Sun Yu let out a cold snort, clearly not believing Yang Haoran's words.
"Heh, we're not kids, Yang Divine Envoy. Why the need to beat around the bush? However, there's one point Yang Divine Envoy got right - a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and our Lecheng Administrative Bureau also cannot be without an Administration Director. Yang Divine Envoy specially invited me over today and brought up this matter, so do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Check for the latest updates on My Virtual Library Empire (M-VL-EMP-YR).
Yang Haoran's smile remained unchanged as he responded.
"The Administrative Bureau's affairs are not something I can interfere with, as I'm just an ordinary old man, not an official of the Administrative Bureau. I was just trying to offer my thoughts and suggestions for Lecheng's future. As for the suitable candidate for the Administration Director, heh, I think Deputy Director Sun is quite suitable."
Yang Haoran's words didn't cause Sun Yu's expression to change, as if he had expected Yang Haoran to say this all along.
"Heh, I, Sun Yu, became the Deputy Administration Director of Lecheng at such a young age, which shows my exceptional abilities. Now that the Administration Director is dead, the position naturally belongs to me, Sun Yu. Only under my leadership can Lecheng survive better in this chaotic world. You think I, Sun Yu, am suitable for this position, not because your eyesight is exceptional, but because anyone with a bit of insight can see this."
Bai Xue, who had been suppressing her inner anger, finally lost her temper when she heard Sun Yu's words. She slammed her hand on the table, making a loud noise that startled Sun Yu, who couldn't react in time. Then, she stood up from her seat, her eyes blazing with fury.
The sudden sound of her hand slapping the table made Sun Yu jump in fright. Before he could react, he heard Bai Xue's menacing voice.
"Sun Yu, I'm telling you, you shouldn't be so arrogant. You think your Lecheng Administrative Bureau is still as powerful as it was in the past, with the Highest Administrative Court backing you up? With my abilities, I can destroy your entire bureau single-handedly. I don't know where you got the courage to be so bold, but if it weren't for the Underworld Envoy, I would have eaten you alive right now!"
Sun Yu, who had been arrogant just moments before, turned pale with rage when faced with Bai Xue's threat. He wanted to scold her, just like he would scold his subordinates, but seeing her ferocious expression, he swallowed his words and didn't dare to say a thing.
After venting her anger, Bai Xue felt a bit relieved, but then she realized that her behavior might have been too extreme and could affect Yang Haoran's plan.
"Underworld Envoy, I'm sorry. I just couldn't hold back my anger," Bai Xue said to Yang Haoran, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"No need to apologize. Since you've said that, why don't you just eat him up?" Yang Haoran replied with a smile.
"No, no, I was just..." Bai Xue thought Yang Haoran was angry and quickly explained, her tone a bit panicked.
"Hehe, I'm not joking. Our relationship is more important than some outsider's, isn't it? If he makes you so angry, why bother holding back? Just eat him up, and I won't waste my time on him," Yang Haoran said with a smile.
This response not only shocked Bai Xue but also stunned Sun Yu. Neither of them expected Yang Haoran to make such a decision.
"Yang Divine Envoy, are you out of your mind? Do you know what you're saying? I know you invited me here today to help me become the Administration Director, and then you can benefit from me. If you kill me, your plan will be ruined!"
Sun Yu's face was filled with anxiety as he shouted at Yang Haoran, his previous arrogance and coldness replaced by a desperate desire to survive.
"Hehe, Deputy Director Sun, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Now, you have to pay the price for your actions. Isn't that right?" Yang Haoran replied calmly, his smile still warm and gentle, but his eyes seemed to be saying something else.
Seeing that his pleas had no effect on Yang Haoran, Sun Yu's body began to tremble, and his face turned pale with fear.
He seemed to sense something and turned to look at Bai Xue's position, but she had already disappeared, replaced by a massive snake head, its eyes fixed on him with an icy stare.
This scene made Sun Yu's heart skip a beat, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
"No...no...don't!"
Sun Yu screamed in terror, trying to escape, but Bai Xue wouldn't give him the chance. As soon as he stood up, Bai Xue opened her massive mouth and swallowed him whole.
A moment later, Bai Xue spat out Sun Yu's lifeless body, his blood and spirit completely drained.
A green light flashed, and Bai Xue transformed back into her human form.
"Underworld Envoy, this is all because you let me take action. You can't blame me," Bai Xue said with a sly smile, licking her lips.
"Hehe, of course, I won't blame you. I just wonder if eating such a fool will affect your intelligence," Yang Haoran joked, not even glancing at Sun Yu's corpse.
"How could it? I only ate his spirit, not his brain. It won't affect my intelligence. You don't need to worry. But now that we've killed him, what's the next step in our plan?" Bai Xue asked.
Yang Haoran lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then responded with a smile.
"We still have another Deputy Administration Director in Lecheng, right? Would you mind running an errand for me and inviting him over?"
