Ma Xiong stared at Jiang Wang for a while.
With a flip of his hand, he put away the Imprint Stone and asked, "A trip to the Patrol Inspection Bureau?"
His attitude, in fact, posed no issue.
From a logical standpoint, he indeed had no need to develop a grudge against a talent of the nation like Jiang Wang, unless he was eager to make his mark, or perhaps... had ulterior motives.
Jiang Wang replied, "Of course, I will definitely cooperate."
Ma Xiong conducted his own search of the Guarding the Nation Hall and left behind four Blue Badge guards to forbid anyone from entering or leaving. Only then did he leave with Jiang Wang.
To say that it was an escort would not be accurate, but indeed, Ma Xiong's gaze did not stray far from Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang maintained a neutral expression. As a Blue Badge constable, who just so happened to be tracking this case, supervising him was part of the job, so there was no conflict to speak of.
