From the confessions came one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news was that Bai Jie really was Alien Kin.

The bad news was that she was not in league with those three people from that morning.

She worshipped a tribe called Tilo, whose blessing made those who served it more beautiful and more charming.

Because she had to offer pleasure to the Tilo tribe, she could get in the mood seven or eight times a day.

What happened with Director Gao really had just been a coincidence.

In other words, they had caught the wrong person.

"Little Chu, how exactly did you figure that out?"

"My eyes are the ruler."

Sun Youya did not press further.

Now was not the time to dwell on that, because the trail on the school's side had gone cold.

Fortunately, good news came from the Information Department at that moment.

They had gotten a lead on the identities of those three people.

The instant Sun Youya saw the information, he frowned.

"Yi Men Association..."

West of Shengze City, Black Street.

If there was one place in all of Shengze City that was the most chaotic, it was here.

Far from the city center, close to the wilderness, and also a place where many wilderness hunters settled down.

It had turned this place into a complete vacuum of order.

Killing someone at the drop of a hat and then fleeing back into the wilderness was perfectly normal here.

The Jingwu Bureau rarely came to Black Street.

But because of the mission, Sun Youya had no choice but to bring Chu Sheng here.

Outside a three-story building crawling with dark-red rust.

Broken neon tubes had been pieced together to form the three words: "Yi Men Association."

"Little Chu, I'll go in and negotiate. Just wait outside."

It was not that Sun Youya did not want to bring Chu Sheng in. He simply did not dare.

The Yi Men Association was the local tyrant here. Its president, Chen Feng, was a peak Qi Sea Realm powerhouse, and he had people backing him.

If things went wrong, there could really be trouble.

Chu Sheng frowned.

"Is that necessary? Why not just arrest this bunch of gangsters?"

Sun Youya had already introduced the Yi Men Association to him on the way over.

Casinos, loan sharking, counterfeit drugs, human trafficking...

Those were all their main businesses. Put simply, they were a gang of criminals who did every evil under the sun.

The reason they had been able to keep operating was that they had people above them and shared interests with quite a few city officials.

Even if they were arrested, they would be released before long.

Sun Youya hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Can you keep your voice down?"

The surrounding area was full of Yi Men Association lookouts. Was that something he could just shout around?

"You just wait here. I'll negotiate. We're only here because of those three Kin. Don't go stirring up more trouble."

Before entering, he turned back and saw that Chu Sheng was still sitting obediently in the car.

Sun Youya let out a long breath of relief.

No matter what, he listened to his senior. He was a good kid.

While he waited.

The two guards at the Yi Men Association's entrance approached.

The leader was a blond-haired punk with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a mocking look on his face.

"Kid, I heard you call us gangsters just now. You even wanted to arrest us?"

The other one, a middle-aged man dressed in black with a thick gold chain around his neck, roared.

"Did we break the law?"

"Did we break the law or not!?"

This was Black Street. The Jingwu Bureau might not come here once in a hundred years.

And whenever they did, they usually came with their tails tucked between their legs. They certainly would not pick a fight with them over such trifling matters.

Especially not with a young rookie who looked as green as grass.

The fact that someone else was handling business while he had been left in the car to wait was proof enough.

They felt it was necessary to teach this inexperienced youngster a proper lesson.

Chu Sheng had not expected the people here to have such weak legal awareness.

There was no helping it.

Then he would have to teach them a little law.

He pushed open the car door and walked up to them.

"It's nighttime. Making noise in a public area like this counts as deliberately creating a disturbance and disrupting public order."

"Also, my colleague is upstairs handling a case. You're affecting him, which counts as obstructing official business. That's a more serious charge."

The blond-haired punk suddenly burst out laughing.

"HAHAHA—AAAH!!!"

Before his laughter could fade, it turned into a scream.

Chu Sheng grabbed the punk by the head and violently slammed it into the hood of the car.

Bang—

The brutal impact instantly dented the hood, splattering it with dark-red blood.

After lifting the man's head back up.

Chu Sheng sneered.

"I told you obstructing official business was a serious crime, and you're still standing here going 'hahaha'?"

"Are you still laughing? Were you born unable to stop laughing?"

"You—"

The other middle-aged man in black roared and threw a punch, only for Chu Sheng to block it effortlessly.

With a casual tug, he pressed the man's head down and smashed it into the car again.

Bang—

Bang! Bang! Bang!—

Once, twice, three times...

Only after both men had completely lost consciousness did Chu Sheng toss them aside.

Severely punishing two criminals Justice Points +1000 Current Justice Points: 3900

"Sure enough, justice needs a heavy fist..."

These people were gangsters.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Sheng made a difficult decision.

He had to make these evildoers cough up some Justice Points. Otherwise, would he not be wearing this uniform for nothing?

Outside the small building, the remaining two guards stood frozen in place.

No, he actually dared to make a move...

"Go, go notify the president! The Jingwu Bureau is smashing up our place..."

Just as the other man tried to run, a purple wandering dragon shot straight toward him.

Boom—

With one kick, the man instantly lost consciousness.

The last one stared wide-eyed and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Kid, you're finished. The president won't let you off."

Chu Sheng gave a derisive laugh.

"Listen to yourself. I never planned on letting him off either..."

He had people above him, so every time he got hauled in, he would be released soon after, right?

Then he might as well not go in at all. He could directly become my fuelwood.

Peak Qi Sea Realm?

Chu Sheng really wanted to test it out.

Upstairs.

Sun Youya was surrounded by members of the Yi Men Association.

At the very front stood a middle-aged man in a traditional Chinese jacket: the Yi Men Association's president, Chen Feng.

"I've already made myself very clear. I don't know these three people, and they have nothing to do with our Yi Men Association."

"But the tattoos on them..."

"You said yourself that their tattoos had been washed off. That proves they stopped being our people long ago."

"Besides, what can a tattoo prove? If I tattooed you, would that prove you belonged to the Yi Men Association?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room erupted with laughter.

"President, that's a great idea. There's another kid downstairs. Why not tattoo him too? Then our Yi Men Association will gain two more fierce generals."

"Is that kid even worthy? He doesn't even dare come upstairs. He's such a coward. I wouldn't take him, anyway."

"If you won't take him, neither will I..."

Sun Youya's eyelids twitched wildly as he listened.

Was Chu Sheng a coward?

Clearly, Sun Youya was the one afraid he would cause trouble...

If he were here, hearing that would definitely make him explode on the spot, right?

Just then.

Bang—

The door was shoved open.

Sun Youya jumped in fright.

When he saw it was one of the Yi Men Association's people, he finally relaxed.

Heh, he had scared himself.
