All-People Naruto: Twin Kamui at the Start

Su Jianhong lowered his head and smoked in silence, his fists clenching tight at his wife's question.

"I don't know either. We've looked for everyone we could, but there's nothing to be done!"

"What if we go beg Liang Youde again? What if he has a change of heart and lets our son go?" At this moment, Lin Xiu'e still held a sliver of hope for Liang Youde.

Su Jianhong fell silent for a moment after hearing this, then cursed bitterly!

"Xiu'e, that animal isn't even human. Begging him will only bring you his mockery and nothing else."

"Didn't you see how he acted? He is deliberately trying to ruin Su Bai's future!"

"Wuu... what are we going to do? Our son finally has a bright future; he can't miss the college entrance exam because he's being detained!"

Lin Xiu'e knew her husband was right—this was just a delusion of her own—and she burst into tears, frantic with worry.

"It's all my fault for being so useless!"

Seeing his wife like this, Su Jianhong slammed his fist against the concrete ground, hating his own helplessness in his heart.

Su Jianhong's state only made Lin Xiu'e more anxious, and she quickly hugged her husband to comfort him.

The two sat on the curb like that; even though it was June and the weather was sweltering, the couple felt a chill in the breeze blowing past them...

Ding-ding.

Just then, a ringtone came from Su Bai's backpack, snapping the couple back to reality.

"It's Su Bai's phone!" Lin Xiu'e immediately opened the bag to reach for it.

However, her hand suddenly froze when she saw two dark red scrolls lying quietly inside the bag.

"Jianhong, look!" Lin Xiu'e cried out in shock. Su Jianhong looked toward the backpack at her voice and was instantly stunned.

"Ninjutsu Scroll?! How could these be in Su Bai's backpack?"

Seeing these two priceless scrolls, their first reaction wasn't excitement, but fear...

Ding-ding.

The phone kept ringing, and Lin Xiu'e decided to answer it first.

"Hey Su Bai, where the hell are you? Get over here and eat!" Chang Rui's irritable voice came through the moment the call connected.

Lin Xiu'e said softly, "Young lady, are you a classmate of Su Bai's?"

The person on the other end seemed to freeze upon realizing it wasn't Su Bai, then asked cautiously, "Are... are you Su Bai's mother?"

"Yes."

"Ah? I'm so sorry, Auntie! I thought it was Su Bai, please don't be angry!" Chang Rui apologized hurriedly!

Lin Xiu'e forced a smile. "It's alright. But Su Bai isn't here right now. I'll have him call you as soon as he gets back, okay?"

"Not there? Auntie, could you help me find him? A friend and I are waiting for him to eat."

Eat?

Lin Xiu'e gave a bitter laugh.

How could he go eat with her when he was about to be detained?

Though she didn't want to spread the news, she didn't know what kind of relationship the girl on the phone had with Su Bai, so she could only say vaguely, "Little girl, Su Bai has run into some trouble and probably can't eat with you. You shouldn't wait for him."

Trouble?

Monster BBQ Restaurant.

Chang Rui and Xia Xueqing stared at each other.

"Ask her what happened!" Xia Xueqing said hurriedly, looking worried.

Chang Rui nodded and asked Lin Xiu'e.

Lin Xiu'e held the phone, feeling conflicted.

She didn't want to broadcast this matter regarding her son, but she was an honest woman who didn't know how to lie, so she could only look toward Su Jianhong.

Su Jianhong pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. "Tell the girl. What if she's our son's girlfriend?"

"Alright." After hearing this, Lin Xiu'e told Chang Rui everything exactly as it happened.

On the other end, Chang Rui exploded!

She had been waiting to thank Su Bai, and some idiot had actually sent him to a detention center?

Xia Xueqing's face turned frosty upon hearing the news; she hadn't expected that Su Bai, who was fine this afternoon, would be arrested now!

"There are people like that? Auntie, tell me where you are. I'll go there right now and get Su Bai out for you!"

"Little girl, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter is very complicated."

Lin Xiu'e didn't take Chang Rui's words to heart, assuming she was just venting her anger and standing up for Su Bai.

When Chang Rui insisted she wasn't joking, Lin Xiu'e couldn't withstand her constant prying and finally gave her their location.

"Auntie, I've got it. I'm coming to find you now. Don't worry, it's just a small matter!" Chang Rui hung up the phone and headed out with Xia Xueqing, who had been waiting impatiently!

A small matter?

On the side of the street, Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e looked at each other, both startled by the tone Chang Rui had used.

However, once Lin Xiu'e regained her composure, her face lit up with joy, and she looked at her husband with anticipation.

"Jianhong, do you think Su Bai's classmate can really get him out?"

"She didn't sound like she was joking, but would someone capable of such a thing really be friends with our son?"

Su Jianhong certainly hoped Chang Rui wasn't joking. He and his wife were nearing despair; if the other party could truly rescue their son, it would be a godsend!

He only worried that this was just a child acting on impulse, speaking without thinking.

Lin Xiu'e agreed with her husband's assessment; how could such a big shot know their son? Her excitement instantly curdled into anxiety.

She knew she shouldn't pin her hopes on a student, but her concern for Su Bai made her choose to believe...

The couple waited in a state of nervous agitation for about half an hour before finally seeing their only hope.

In the distance, Chang Rui hurried over, pulling Xia Xueqing along, and greeted them politely.

"Uncle, Auntie, you must be Su Bai's parents, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's us." Lin Xiu'e rubbed her hands together and asked nervously, "Young lady, is what you said true? Do you really have a way to help Su Bai?"

Before Chang Rui could speak, Su Jianhong stared intently at Xia Xueqing. After confirming multiple times that his eyes weren't deceiving him, an expression of intense excitement washed over his face.

"Xiu'e, our son is saved!"

He knew his wife was just a simple, honest rural woman who paid no attention to the affairs of ninjas.

But he was different; he knew of certain big shots, and he recognized Xia Xueqing's identity at a glance!

She was a member of the Xia Family, the Byakugan Clan, a bloodline family with overwhelming power in Yangcheng City!

He now firmly believed Chang Rui's words; pulling someone out of the police station was indeed a small matter.

Although Su Jianhong had never had contact with the Xia Family, the representative family of Yangcheng City, he had heard plenty of rumors.

It was said that in Yangcheng City, the Xia Family was a terrifying existence that stood above the Federation government!

The clan was filled with powerful experts; even the mayor of Yangcheng City had to be three parts courteous when facing such a behemoth, let alone handling a minor scuffle for his son.

Chapter 38: A Shift in Yangcheng City

"We are looking for Director Liu."

At the Yangcheng City police station, Chang Rui led Xia Xueqing and Su Bai's parents into the main hall. Her opening statement startled the young officer inside!

"Young lady, what business do you have with our director?"

The young officer didn't recognize Chang Rui, but he recognized Xia Xueqing's eyes.

After all, that pair of Byakugan was the best proof of the Xia Family's identity; in Yangcheng City, they were known to everyone!

Chang Rui curled her lip. "Don't ask questions. Just tell me where he is."

"He's on... the third floor, room 301."

"Thanks."

Chang Rui turned back and gave a faint smile to Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e. "Uncle, Auntie, let's go up."

With that, she and Xia Xueqing led the anxious couple up to the third floor.

"Xiu'e, I suspect the background of this girl named Chang Rui is also quite significant. We've truly met a benefactor today."

"Yes, a benefactor! We must thank her properly!"

The couple whispered to each other, watching Chang Rui walk as if she were returning to her own home. It was their first time in such a place, and they didn't even dare to speak loudly.

Chang Rui walked in front, feeling pleased as she listened to their praise. She thought to herself that since she had gained the favor of Su Bai's uncle and aunt, if Su Bai dared to disobey her in the future, she would report him directly!

Before long, the four of them arrived at Director Liu's office door. Chang Rui didn't even knock; she pushed the door open and walked right in.

"Who told you to enter... uh, Miss Chang?"

A middle-aged man was sitting at his desk looking at his computer. He had been about to fly into a rage at the intrusion, but his voice died in his throat.

He was Liu Guang, the director of this branch. He was a man of high status and authority, and this was the first time such a thing had happened.

Liu Guang forced a smile and hurried over to Chang Rui and Xia Xueqing, acting with extreme courtesy.

"Miss Chang, what brings you here?"

"And this young lady must be from the Xia Family, right? I have long wanted to pay a visit to the Xia Family head, but I've never had the opportunity, haha."

Although Liu Guang was smiling, he was inwardly shocked.

One of these girls was the daughter of the second-in-command of Yangcheng City—his superior's superior—whom he usually tried his best to curry favor with!

The other's background was even more astonishing; she was the little princess of the Xia Family, the bloodline clan of Yangcheng City! She was someone he couldn't even dream of getting close to!

As for his talk of a visit? That was just Liu Guang trying to gild his own lily. He didn't even have the qualifications to visit the Xia Family; his own superior would barely qualify.

Chang Rui smiled and got straight to the point.

"Uncle Liu, a friend of mine was detained by your department for fighting, but there were extenuating circumstances and some misunderstandings involved. I hope you can release him first and investigate the rest later. Would that be possible?"

"Of course, absolutely!" Liu Guang nodded in immediate agreement.

He wasn't joking; if he refused the daughter of Yang City's second-in-command, his own superior would likely never let him hear the end of it!

"That's good," Chang Rui said with a smile. "His name is Su Bai. He was brought in this afternoon. Release him now."

"Right, right, I'll release him at once!" Liu Guang nodded and reached for the phone on his desk, but he suddenly froze, a sense of dread washing over him.

Su Bai? It's over!

Seeing Chang Rui settle the matter in just a few words, Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e were overjoyed.

"Miss Chang, thank you so much! We don't even know how to thank you!"

"Yes, I—I—I will make sure Su Bai thanks you properly!"

The couple was so excited they were practically stuttering.

Chang Rui smiled smugly. "It's a small matter, Uncle, Auntie, no need for such formalities!"

"Exactly, Sister Chang Rui has a very powerful background. Things like this are nothing to her, so please don't be so polite," Xia Xueqing added happily.

Chang Rui waited for a moment, but when she saw Liu Guang still hadn't moved, she frowned and her smile vanished.

"Director Liu, what are you waiting for?"

"This..." Cold sweat streamed down Liu Guang's face. He never expected Su Bai to know Chang Rui!

Su Bai had already been sent away. Although it violated Federation law, he had originally thought of it as a simple favor to curry favor with Liang Ji.

Liang Ji was a well-known entrepreneur in Yang City who had given him plenty of kickbacks in the past.

Su Bai, on the other hand, was just a nobody from the bottom of the social ladder. Using him to make Liang Ji owe him a favor had seemed like a gift from the heavens.

But now...
