You Broke the Law, Do You Know That?

"Ding!"

It wasn't the system, but a phone notification.

Chu Sheng signed up for the D-rank mission.

Bronze Patrol officers weren't qualified to carry out missions alone; they had to form teams of at least two.

Very soon, a notification popped up on the app—someone else had signed up.

Sun Youya.

On the other end, Sun Youya was greatly taken aback when he saw Chu Sheng's information.

It was his first time seeing a newcomer who had just joined the job immediately rush off to take a mission without stopping for breath.

Had Chu Sheng even figured out all the rules and regulations of the Jingwu Bureau?

Had he memorized the law enforcement code and the punishment regulations?

Completing missions came with rewards, but mission failures were recorded in one's file as well.

Too many failure records would not only affect future promotions; in serious cases, one could even be kicked out of the Jingwu Bureau and never hired again.

"What a newborn calf that isn't afraid of tigers. Fine, this big brother will carry you for once..."

He dialed the number listed in the information.

The two agreed to meet outside the Jingwu Bureau building.

When he saw Chu Sheng—

Sun Youya's eyelid inevitably twitched.

"Little Chu, have you memorized the law enforcement code?"

"I haven't had time to read it yet. Besides, I'm a law enforcer. Isn't it enough to know whether other people broke the law?"

Sun Youya sighed softly. Just as I thought.

"This is a society ruled by law now. The Federation is especially strict about law enforcement. You should find some time to memorize the law enforcement code."

"Mm. So, can we leave now?"

"No. This isn't an undercover mission. You need to put on your uniform first, and bring your badge too."

"..."

The place they were heading to was Shengze Third Middle School.

The Information Department was still investigating the identities of those three dependents. They would notify them once there was news.

For now, they could only begin with the tampering of the martial arts platform.

Someone had been able to tamper with the martial arts platform without being discovered.

That meant there might be their people inside Third Middle School as well.

That was also a lead.

Shengze Third Middle School.

Upon hearing that people from the Jingwu Bureau had arrived, Principal Liu Xiong hurried out to receive them.

Yet when he saw Chu Sheng, he still froze involuntarily.

He had come to their school for a match that morning, then returned that afternoon in a different uniform to investigate a case.

This identity switch was faster than turning the pages of a book.

On the way to the martial arts arena—

"Principal Liu, you should know why we're here, right?"

Liu Xiong nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes. Director Gao was responsible for inspecting the martial arts platform. I've already sent someone to call him."

Not long after they arrived at the martial arts arena—

A middle-aged man with a bulging belly hurried over.

Faced with Sun Youya's questioning, Director Gao nervously wiped away cold sweat.

Then he stammered out an explanation, claiming that he had indeed conducted a thorough inspection before the match and found nothing unusual.

But before his words had even faded—

A cold snort made him shudder instantly.

"Lie!"

Everyone turned to look at Chu Sheng.

Sun Youya asked in confusion, "Little Chu, you mean he's lying? How do you know?"

Though Chu Sheng had never seen pork, he had at least seen pigs run.

He kept touching his nose while talking, his eyes were evasive, and even the details of his body language were extremely unnatural.

Those unconscious little signs of lying had nowhere to hide before his battle intuition.

However, in order to completely crush Director Gao's psychological defenses—

Chu Sheng said coldly, "I have a talent that can detect lies."

"Just now, he was lying!"

???

Sun Youya blanked out. He had never heard of such a Martial Dao Talent.

But when he saw Director Gao's body trembling like chaff in a sieve—

He understood.

Good heavens, young people's brains really were quick. One little bluff, and he had bluffed the truth right out of him.

"So that's why the director made a special exception and approved your entry into the Jingwu Bureau. No wonder!"

Then he turned a cold face toward Director Li.

"Looks like you're not very honest. Then we'll have to ask you to come back to the Jingwu Bureau with us."

"Ah!?"

Director Gao's whole body went limp at once, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

"No, I'm not going to the Jingwu Bureau. I'll tell the truth—I never inspected the martial arts platform at all."

"Actually, I meant to inspect it at the time, but Teacher Bai called me away at the last minute. Later, when people from Bai'an Second Middle School arrived, I figured what could possibly happen to the martial arts platform, so I didn't inspect it..."

Liu Xiong introduced from the side, "Bai Jie, a senior-year Chinese teacher at our school."

"What did she call you over for?"

Director Gao was about to speak, but hesitated again.

"Uh..."

Chu Sheng grabbed him by the collar.

"Don't ask. He wants to lie again. Take him back to the Jingwu Bureau."

Director Gao instantly began wailing.

"I'll talk! It was... it was that kind of thing between a man and a woman!"

"..."

"She just happened to get interested when you were going to inspect the martial arts platform. Could it really be such a coincidence? Where is she now?"

"At this hour, she should be teaching Class Five."

Shengze Third Middle School, Senior Year Class Five, first row.

Yu Wan's eyes were red as she stared fixedly at the cup of lemonade on her desk.

It was no longer cold; it was even somewhat warm.

Yet even warm lemonade was something Xu Ye never got to drink.

His talent had been crippled, and afterward he had nearly been blown to death.

As his girlfriend, Yu Wan had only one thought now.

She absolutely had to make the culprit apologize to Xu Ye!

And who was the culprit?

Of course, it was Chu Sheng, the one who had crippled Xu Ye!

He was clearly so strong, yet he still chose to toy with Xu Ye and had even crippled his talent.

A person like that was simply too hateful!!!

Just then—

A gentle voice sounded by her ear.

"What are you thinking about so intently?"

Yu Wan jumped and turned, only to see that breathtakingly beautiful face, as lovely as a celestial maiden's.

It had to be said that even she deeply envied Bai Jie's looks.

Her natural foundation was simply too good.

Bai Jie furrowed her delicate brows slightly and gently rubbed Yu Wan's head.

"You must be worried about Xu Ye..."

Seeing Yu Wan's uneasy 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 that good people are blessed by heaven. He'll definitely pull through."

Those simple few words resonated with the entire class.

"It's all that Chu Sheng's fault! If the spirit sword had been there, Xu Ye definitely wouldn't have been hurt this badly."

"He was so close to Xu Ye when the explosion happened, yet he just stood there watching. How cold-blooded."

"If you ask me, he did it on purpose. He was jealous that Xu Ye awakened a talent. He's already in the Qi Sea Realm—he can't awaken a talent even if he wants to..."

Bai Jie did not interrupt them.

Only after they had finished venting did she speak.

"Good will be repaid with good, evil with evil. Someone like him, who refuses to cultivate good fruit, will face retribution."

The moment her words fell—

Boom—

A thunderous crash shook dust from the walls.

The classroom door flew backward.

The young man stepped inside.

Within his abyss-black eyes, lightning danced wildly like silver serpents.

His voice was icy, and his smile carried a trace of chill.

"What nerve you have, daring to curse and slander law enforcement personnel of the Jingwu Bureau—"

"Do you know you broke the law!?"
