"Ding!"
It wasn't the system, but a phone notification.
Chu Sheng had signed up for this D-rank mission.
The Bronze Patrol didn't allow solo missions; you needed at least a team of two.
Soon, a notification popped up on the app: another person had signed up.
Sun Youya.
On the other end, Sun Youya was also taken aback after seeing Chu Sheng's information.
This was his first time seeing a rookie, fresh off the boat, immediately taking on a mission.
Did you even grasp the rules and regulations of the Jingwu Bureau?
Have you memorized the enforcement statutes and penalty regulations?
Completing missions brought rewards, but failing a mission also meant it went on your record.
Too many failure records wouldn't just affect future promotions; in severe cases, it could even lead to dismissal from the Jingwu Bureau, with no chance of re-employment.
"Truly a fearless newborn calf. Fine then, I'll carry you for a ride this time..."
He dialed the number from the information provided.
The two agreed to meet outside the Jingwu Bureau building.
Upon seeing Chu Sheng.
Sun Youya's eyelids twitched involuntarily.
"Little Chu, have you memorized the enforcement statutes?"
"I haven't had time to look at them yet. Besides, I'm an enforcer; isn't it enough if I know whether others are breaking the law?"
Sun Youya sighed, thinking, Just as I expected.
"This is a society governed by law now. The Federation strictly regulates our enforcement work. You should memorize the enforcement statutes when you have time."
"Okay, so, can we set off now?"
"No, this isn't an undercover mission. You need to put on your uniform first, and don't forget your badge."
"..."
The place they headed to was Shengze Third Middle School.
The Information Department was still investigating the identities of those three dependents and would notify them once they had information.
For now, they could only start by investigating the tampering with the martial arts stage.
The fact that the martial arts stage could be tampered with without being discovered suggested that they might have someone within the Third Middle School.
This was also a lead.
Shengze Third Middle School.
Upon hearing that people from the Jingwu Bureau had arrived, Principal Liu Xiong hastily came out to greet them.
However, when he saw Chu Sheng, he couldn't help but freeze on the spot.
He had come to their school to compete in the morning, and in the afternoon, he was back in uniform to investigate a case.
The switch in roles was faster than flipping a book.
On the way to the martial arts arena.
"Principal Liu, you should know the purpose of our visit, right?"
Liu Xiong nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know. Director Gao is in charge of inspecting the martial arts stage. I've already sent someone to call him."
Not long after they arrived at the martial arts arena.
A middle-aged man with a prominent belly hurried over.
When questioned by Sun Youya, Director Gao nervously wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
He then stammered an explanation, saying he had indeed conducted a thorough inspection before the competition and found nothing unusual.
But no sooner had he finished speaking.
A cold snort made him jump.
"Lies!"
Everyone's gaze turned to Chu Sheng.
Sun Youya asked, confused, "Little Chu, are you saying he's lying? How do you know?"
Although Chu Sheng hadn't seen pork, he had at least seen pigs run.
The frequent touching of his nose while speaking, the evasive glances, and even the subtle details of his body were all extremely unnatural.
These subtle tells when lying, his combat intuition revealed them all.
However, to thoroughly break Director Gao's psychological defenses.
Chu Sheng said coldly, "I have a talent for detecting lies."
"Just now, he was lying!"
???
Sun Youya was stunned. He had never heard of such a martial arts talent.
But upon seeing Director Gao's body trembling like a sieve.
He understood.
Good heavens, young people's minds are so sharp, he just tricked him into confessing.
"No wonder the Director-General specially approved your entry into the Jingwu Bureau!"
Afterward, he looked at Director Li with a cold face.
"It seems you're not being honest. In that case, you'll have to come with us to the Jingwu Bureau."
"Ah!?"
Director Gao's body instantly went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
"No, I'm not going to the Jingwu Bureau! I'll tell the truth, I never checked the martial arts stage."
"Actually, I wanted to check it at the time, but Teacher Bai called me away. Later, when the people from Shengze Third Middle School arrived, I figured nothing could happen to the martial arts stage, so I didn't check..."
Liu Xiong, standing nearby, introduced, "Bai Jie, she's a Chinese teacher in our school's senior year."
"What did she want from you?"
Director Gao was about to speak but hesitated again.
"Uh..."
Chu Sheng grabbed his collar.
"Don't ask. He's about to lie again. Take him back to the Jingwu Bureau."
Director Gao immediately wailed.
"I'll tell you, it was... it was about intimate matters between men and women!"
"..."
"She only got interested precisely when you were about to inspect the martial arts stage? Is it really that coincidental? Where is she now?"
"She should be in class five at this time."
Shengze Third Middle School, Senior Year Class Five, First Row.
Yu Wan's eyes were red, and she stared intently at the cup of lemon water on her desk.
Now, not only was it not cold, but it was actually a little warm.
However, even the warm lemon water, Xu Ye couldn't drink it.
His talent was crippled, and he was almost blown up.
As his girlfriend, Yu Wan now had only one thought.
She absolutely had to make the culprit apologize to Xu Ye!
As for who the culprit was?
Of course, it was Chu Sheng, who crippled Xu Ye!
He was so strong, yet he still toyed with Xu Ye and even crippled his talent.
This kind of person was simply detestable!!!
Just then.
A gentle voice sounded in her ear.
"What are you thinking about? You're so engrossed?"
Yu Wan was startled and turned around to see a face as beautiful as a celestial being.
It had to be said that Bai Jie's appearance made even her envious.
Her natural beauty was simply too good.
Bai Jie frowned slightly and gently rubbed Yu Wan's head.
"You must be worrying about Xu Ye..."
Seeing Yu Wan's flustered appearance, Bai Jie comforted her.
"Don't be so nervous. It's not just you; we're all worried about him too."
"But I believe he'll be blessed with good fortune and will definitely get through this."
A few simple sentences struck a chord with the entire class.
"It's all Chu Sheng's fault! With his spirit sword here, Xu Ye wouldn't have been injured so severely."
"He was so close to Xu Ye when the explosion happened, and he just watched. Truly cold-blooded."
"In my opinion, he did it on purpose. He's jealous that Xu Ye awakened his talent. Chu Sheng is already in the Qi Sea Realm, so it's impossible for him to awaken his talent..."
Bai Jie didn't interrupt them.
Only after they had vented did she speak.
"Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished. People like him, who don't cultivate good deeds, will face retribution."
As soon as she finished speaking.
BOOM—
A deafening roar shook the walls, causing dust to fall.
The classroom door flew backward.
A young man stepped in.
Within his eyes, as dark as an abyss, lightning danced like silver snakes.
The young man's voice was cold, and his smile carried a chill.
"How dare you curse and slander a law enforcer of the Jingwu Bureau—"
"Do you know you've broken the law!?"
