The Thief's Ship

"Cough, cough..."

Sun Youya coughed twice. He had intended to remind Chu Sheng that what Bai Jie had said wasn't against the law.

But he gave up on that idea shortly after.

Discrediting a colleague in front of so many people was rather inappropriate.

Yu Wan recognized Chu Sheng immediately.

From extreme anger, Her face was flushed red, her cheeks puffed out.

Even the trembling ends of her speech carried a childish lisp.

"Ah! It's you! You big meanie!!!"

To the students of Class Five, this scene was incredibly adorable.

Bai Jie appeared very composed.

"No matter what you intend to do, I'll say this: wait until I finish this class for the students."

With that, she made a gesture to usher them out.

She figured Chu Sheng wouldn't dare to use force in front of so many students.

Otherwise, the repercussions would be too great.

But who knew, before Bai Jie could even retract her finger, her wrist was suddenly grabbed with a vice-like grip.

Chu Sheng exerted force with one arm, slamming her against the wall with a dull thud.

Bang—

Chu Sheng's vision exploded with stars from the impact, and a piercing pain shot through his nasal cavity as warm blood instantly gushed out.

Pain, it was just too painful!

"What the hell are you pretending to be? You're the type to teach others?"

[Disciplined an Alien Kin of Body Tempering Third Layer]

[Justice Points +200]

"Huh!?"

Seeing the system notification, Chu Sheng was stunned.

He hadn't expected the system to have such a useful function.

Was this... an opening?

However, Chu Sheng's actions not only shocked everyone in Class Five.

They also shocked Sun Youya.

Wait, the interrogation hasn't even started yet, and we don't know if they're innocent.

And you've already resorted to violence?

You really haven't been sued before...

Then, Chu Sheng grabbed Bai Jie and prepared to leave.

But a graceful figure blocked his path.

Yu Wan was like a little furball ready to pounce, her two pearl-like canine teeth peeking out between her pearly whites.

"What did Bai Jie ever do to you to make you treat her like this?"

"Let her go right now, or else, or else I'll have to get serious!!"

Her voice was incredibly soft, It almost melted Chu Sheng's heart.

This was his first time seeing such an adorable girl.

"Let me explain—"

Yu Wan put her hands on her hips, about to shake her head and say she wouldn't listen.

"Hmph, forget it, I can't be bothered to explain. You don't deserve to hear it."

Chu Sheng casually swatted her away.

"What the heck? And you dare to obstruct official duties? I'm only letting you off because you're a student and don't know the law, otherwise, I'd have arrested you too."

[Slightly disciplined the person obstructing official duties, and mercifully let them off the hook]

[Justice Points +200]

Bang—

Yu Wan tumbled, knocking over several desks in succession.

The huge commotion she caused, however, drew no attention from the crowd.

Even the students whose desks were overturned.

At this moment, everyone looked at Chu Sheng as if he were a monster.

Especially Sun Youya.

He realized he might have accidentally boarded a pirate ship.

He had actually admired Chu Sheng just a moment ago, thinking he was quick-witted.

Now, he regretted it so much he wanted to slap himself twice.

He didn't understand what madness had possessed him to sign up for this mission.

They had gone on the mission together, and if anything went wrong, he wouldn't be able to escape either.

With this operation, Lu Huaimin's phone would be ringing off the hook, and complaint letters would fill an entire mailbox!

Disciplinary action was a sure thing...

"Let's go, back to the bureau to interrogate her."

It wasn't until Chu Sheng brought Bai Jie over that Sun Youya finally snapped back to reality.

"Huh? Back to the bureau? We haven't even confirmed yet if she has anything to do with this matter."

"She does, trust me."

Sun Youya seemed to want to say more, but seeing Chu Sheng's confident expression.

He could only compromise.

"Alright then..."

Arriving in front of the dumbfounded Liu Xiong.

Chu Sheng patted his shoulder.

"Principal Liu, you wouldn't want your school's dirty laundry to be publicized by me, would you?"

"So, you should know how to handle this..."

Hearing this, Liu Xiong's eyes nearly popped out, and he could only let out a very bewildered—

"Huh???"

"No..."

However, Chu Sheng didn't give him a chance to speak.

He turned and left, dragging Bai Jie with him.

Looking at his retreating back, Liu Xiong couldn't help but doubt.

Was this really an enforcement officer from the Jingwu Bureau!?

He caused such a huge commotion on their turf.

And then he even threatened to make him clean up his mess.

Isn't this pure thug behavior?

Afterward, he glares angrily at Director Gao beside him.

"This is all your doing!!!"

Looking at the indignant crowd from Class Five, Liu Xiong knew the school would have to pay a heavy price this time.

It would be fine for ordinary students; three mid-grade Blood Qi Pills, plus the threat of expulsion, would be enough to bribe them into silence.

Yu Wan, however, truly stumped Liu Xiong.

Such a cute little girl had a dozen teeth knocked out with a single slap.

He didn't know how Chu Sheng could bear to do it.

Was his heart made of iron?

In the end, he could only agree to Yu Wan's terms: to cover all of Xu Ye's subsequent medical expenses.

He would also pull strings to transfer him to a hospital in the provincial capital.

Only then did Yu Wan agree not to publicize the matter and not to file a complaint with the Jingwu Bureau.

Meanwhile.

On the way back to the Jingwu Bureau.

Bai Jie rubbed her nose, looking pitiful.

"Can you tell me what crime I've committed?"

Chu Sheng sneered.

"We suspect you have ties to the three Alien Kin from this morning."

"Ah!?" Bai Jie looked very surprised.

"What kind of joke is this? How could I possibly have anything to do with them? You must have made a mistake."

"Whether you have a connection or not isn't up to you to say. We'll know after you're brought back to the bureau for questioning."

Although Chu Sheng was certain Bai Jie was an Alien Kin, interrogation wasn't his specialty.

However, the Jingwu Bureau's interrogation department was professional.

They would definitely be able to get her to talk.

Bai Jie blinked her innocent, soulful eyes, her stunning beauty like that of a fairy.

"You've really made a mistake. I have no connection to those people!"

Seeing how emphatically she spoke, Chu Sheng felt a flicker of doubt.

And so—

Chu Sheng directly punched her in the lower abdomen.

[Taught a lesson to a third-stage Body Tempering Alien Kin]

[Justice Points +100]

Huh!?

She even got weaker?

However, this confirmed his suspicion that Bai Jie was indeed an Alien Kin.

She was only at the third stage of Body Tempering, though.

He wondered what the aliens saw in her.

Sun Youya, driving ahead, couldn't help but say, "Little Chu, can we stop hitting her? I'm a little scared…"

If they had actually found something during the interrogation, then hitting her would be justified.

But they hadn't even interrogated her yet, and she was already rolling her eyes from the beating.

Sun Youya was genuinely afraid Bai Jie was innocent, and she might end up suing the two of them.

When they returned to the Jingwu Bureau, the two handed Bai Jie over to the interrogation department.

In just over ten minutes, they completed the interrogation.

Seeing Bai Jie's confession, Sun Youya was stunned.

However, Chu Sheng was even more bewildered—

"We grabbed the wrong person!?"
