Silence Means Consent

Chen Feng looked at Sun Youya.

"Enough."

"I've said everything that needed to be said. I won't see you out. Please leave."

Sun Youya still wanted to say something, but someone nearby spoke first.

"Not leaving? Want us to give you a tattoo?"

Laughter erupted around them once more.

But just then, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Bastards, what the hell are you laughing at!?"

Goosebumps instantly rose all over Sun Youya's body.

He turned back in disbelief and saw that it was Chu Sheng!

The laughter in the room stopped at once.

Sun Youya hurried over to Chu Sheng. "Didn't I tell you not to come up!?"

"Did you get an answer?"

"No..."

Seeing the aggrieved, bullied-wife-like expression Sun Youya had worn earlier, Chu Sheng knew this would be the outcome.

"So I'll do the asking. In a different way."

When dealing with evil men, naturally, one had to use evil men's methods. Otherwise, wouldn't all the bad things they had done have been for nothing?

A scar-faced man walked up to them.

Rubbing his ear, he wore a vicious smile.

"Kid, sorry, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Can you say that again?"

Chu Sheng ignored him and said to Sun Youya, "I'm taking over the negotiations now. Go downstairs and wait for me."

"Well, well..."

The scar-faced man shook his head and gave a bitter laugh. "Looks like I'm being ignored."

The moment he finished speaking, his expression turned cold.

Yet the next second, Chu Sheng grabbed him and slapped him.

"Are you fucking done yet?"

Slap—

"I'm talking to my colleague. Who gave you the right to interrupt!?"

Slap—

"And you're still putting on this damn act!"

His final punch blasted out, snapping the scar-faced man's ribs cleanly as blood sprayed three feet into the air.

Everyone in the room changed expression.

The scar-faced man was the Chimen Society's third-in-command, a sixth-level Qi Sea Realm cultivator.

This youth's aura was only at the first level of the Qi Sea Realm. How could two slaps and one punch cripple him?

"You still haven't left!?" Chu Sheng glanced at Sun Youya.

Sun Youya instantly snapped back to his senses and hurriedly retreated.

At first, he had feared that Chu Sheng would cause trouble here, with grave consequences.

But now, he had finally figured it out!!!

The Chimen Society might have backing, sure,

But so did Chu Sheng...

The man had entered the Jingwu Bureau through the back door at eighteen. Wasn't that backing far greater than theirs?

As for whether he could win a fight.

What a joke. He fought a sixth-level cultivator like he was beating a child. What could a peak Qi Sea Realm cultivator possibly amount to?

The instant he ran out of the small building—

Boom! A thunderous explosion shook the air, and the entire Chimen Society was blown apart.

The dazzling lightning was terrifyingly bright, visible throughout the entire Black Street.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Amid the ruins, Chen Feng struggled to prop himself up.

His earlier high spirits were nowhere to be seen, replaced by charred black skin all over his body.

Chu Sheng slowly walked up to him.

"Can you talk now?"

Chen Feng stood firm. "No comment!"

Chu Sheng greatly admired that, so he grabbed Chen Feng by the head and smashed it hard into the ground.

Then he planted a foot on Chen Feng's face.

"How about now?"

Chen Feng's eyes were about to split apart. It was the first time he had suffered such humiliation, and it felt worse than killing him.

"So the Jingwu Bureau can do whatever it wants!? I'm telling you, you're dead!!!"

"Oh, for fuck's sake." Chu Sheng was genuinely amused.

He was being accused of doing whatever he wanted?

This was simply Reversing the Heavenly Dipper. He had clearly been handling the case impartially from beginning to end!

At this point, the matter of those three people no longer mattered.

Because the mastermind was right in front of him!

"I get it now. The reason you refuse to reveal those three people's identities is because you're in the same gang!!!"

"Tell me, am I right!?"

Chu Sheng applied a little force with his foot, and Chen Feng could not make a sound at all.

"Silence means consent."

"The reason you refused to surrender, and even dared to resist and attack me, was because the Alien Kin ordered you to, right?"

"Still not talking? That's consent again!"

Chen Feng was so anxious he was nearly going mad!

Only after Chu Sheng loosened his foot slightly did he roar.

"You're dead! Your whole family is dead!!"

Chu Sheng lowered his head, curled his lips, and revealed a cruel smile.

"Whether I die or not is hard to say. But you're about to die."

Chen Feng was horrified. "You can't! I haven't broken the law! What right do you have to kill me!?"

"Gambling dens, usury, fake medicine, human trafficking—you call that not breaking the law?"

"If you kill me, the people behind me won't spare you."

"Idiot, you're suspected of colluding with Alien Kin now. People behind you? Once the people behind you learn I killed you, they might even thank me. Believe it or not?"

Chen Feng's expression froze instantly at those words.

"I'll talk, I'll talk. Those three came from the wilderness two months ago. I saw they were quite strong, so I invited them to join the Chimen Society."

"How was I supposed to know they were Alien Kin..."

To be honest, Chen Feng was quite innocent too. Who would have thought that merely inviting a few people would land him in this mess?

"That's all?"

"That's all, really." Chen Feng said anxiously.

Seeing that his expression did not seem fake, Chu Sheng lifted his foot.

Before Chen Feng could breathe a long sigh of relief after surviving the disaster,

That foot came down again with crushing force.

A villain like this would have been executed by firing squad more than ten times in his previous life.

Naturally, Chu Sheng felt no psychological burden whatsoever.

Besides, if Chen Feng did not die, how was Chu Sheng supposed to frame him?

Chu Sheng did not think there was anything wrong with doing this.

The evildoer had been punished, the Chimen Society would cease to exist, and he had completed his mission.

One arrow, three hawks; everyone was delighted.

This was justice!

Eliminated a heinously evil underworld boss

Justice Points +3000

Current Justice Points: 11200

Seeing his Justice Points break into five digits for the first time, Chu Sheng revealed a brilliant smile.

On his very first day after joining the Jingwu Bureau, he had already gained such rich rewards.

He did not even dare imagine the happiness awaiting him in the future.

Sun Youya was dumbfounded beside him.

Especially when he saw Chu Sheng raise his foot and crush Chen Feng's head, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

No, bro, you called this negotiating?

Who negotiates like that?

Chu Sheng walked over and patted his shoulder. "Notify the bureau to come arrest people."

"Arrest... arrest people? On what charge?"

"Colluding with Alien Kin. Chen Feng admitted it."

Jingwu Bureau.

After hearing what Sun Youya said, the dispatcher could scarcely believe it.

"I need to confirm this with you once more."

"The Chimen Society colluded with Alien Kin, you wiped out their headquarters, and you are now requesting headquarters to send people over to assist with the arrests?"

After Sun Youya confirmed that was correct,

The dispatcher immediately reported the matter.

The moment Lu Huaimin learned the news, his scalp began to tingle faintly.

Newcomers had only just started working, busy serving tea, pouring water, and delivering newspapers.

But you went and wiped out the Chimen Society outright?

And said they were colluding with Alien Kin?

No wonder his eyelids had kept twitching these past few days. He had found the reason.

But upon second thought, a strange smile appeared on Lu Huaimin's face.

"This... this actually seems like a good thing..."

He had long wanted to get rid of a tumor like the Chimen Society.

But Shengze City's forces were tangled together like roots and vines; tug one hair and the whole body moved.

Even as the director of the Jingwu Bureau, he had to exercise caution.

Chu Sheng might be from the Jingwu Bureau, but he had the backing of Dragon Martial Academy.

And behind Dragon Martial Academy stood the Long Family of Dongyun Province.

Since it was rare for him to have such a sense of justice and such backing, why not simply let him make as much trouble as he liked?

If anything really happened, they could just call Dragon Martial Academy to handle it.

Either way, it would not implicate him.

Heh heh, I'm fucking brilliant!
