What Do I Care What Your Surname Is?

Ling Bin's face was filled with astonishment.

He had never expected Chu Sheng not only to openly admit that he had pulled strings.

He even publicly used his connections to get him fired!

How could something like this be acted out in broad daylight, without even avoiding people...

"What was your name again?" Chu Sheng asked.

Ling Bin lowered his head, his face red as blood, not daring to utter a word.

Back then, he had gone through great trouble to get into the Jingwu Bureau. If he got fired now, he would suffer a huge loss.

The corners of Chu Sheng's lips lifted slightly, and he then said to the person on the other end of the phone.

"It's nothing, Uncle."

After hanging up, he looked at Ling Bin again.

"I originally planned to get along with you all as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was chirping from crickets. I won't pretend anymore. I do have backing. I'm laying my cards on the table."

"Take this as a lesson. If there's a next time, you'll be fired on the spot!"

Ling Bin nodded woodenly and turned to leave.

"Wait."

"It's not because I'm kindhearted that you still have your job. Say thank you."

In a fit of great mercy, helped Ling Bin keep his job

"Th... thank..." The two words seemed to have been pried out from between his teeth.

The moment he finished speaking, Ling Bin fled as if the wind had sprung beneath his feet.

Once he reached a place with no one around, he actually coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

This was the first time in his life that he had suffered such monstrous humiliation.

His fury attacked his heart, and the pent-up resentment had nowhere to go.

"Damn it! All you know is how to rely on your family background to bully others. One day, I'll make you kneel and beg me..."

Only after cursing for over ten minutes did Ling Bin finally feel a little better.

However, before long, he heard some good news.

The Zheng family had sent someone!

There were plenty of people surnamed Zheng in Shengze City, but if one referred simply to "the Zheng family," there was only the household in the eastern part of the city.

The old family head, Zheng Jun, was a genuine Stage Four, Fifth Layer True Essence Realm expert.

The current family head, Zheng Dongming, was at the Second Layer True Essence Realm.

His daughter, Zheng Xuerong, was also the last disciple personally accepted by the Moon Fragrance Sect's sect master.

Even the city lord had to give the Zheng family some face.

The Zheng family's purpose in coming was also obvious. The Chimen Society had been helping their Zheng family rake in money.

How could it just be wiped out?

He had heard that the one who came was Zheng family's most hot-tempered third son—Zheng Hu.

A sinister smile immediately curled across Ling Bin's lips.

"Chu Sheng, don't you have backing? Let's see just how powerful your backing really is!"

Jingwu Bureau lobby.

Zheng Hu wore a gloomy expression as he casually grabbed a passerby.

"Who handled the Chimen Society matter last night?"

That person froze, then hurriedly shook his head. "Not me! I don't know."

Zheng Hu then asked another person, receiving the same answer: they did not know.

What a joke. Chu Sheng had just shown everyone what the power of backing looked like.

If they sold him out now, wouldn't they just be waiting for his retaliation?

Just as Zheng Hu questioned the third person, a voice suddenly rang out.

"It was Chu Sheng!"

Everyone turned around, only to find that the person had already vanished without a trace.

"Chu Sheng!?"

Zheng Hu released the person in his hand, confusion in his eyes.

There was no one surnamed Chu among the Jingwu Bureau's Silver Patrolmen or Gold Patrolmen.

"Where is he!?"

The people around him fell silent once more.

After firing that shot, Ling Bin had long since changed positions and was also searching everywhere.

Yet after looking around, he still could not spot Chu Sheng.

Just as he secretly lamented how Chu Sheng's luck could be so good, allowing him to dodge this disaster—

The next moment, he heard a voice behind him that nearly sent his soul flying to heaven.

"You little bastard, looking for your daddy?"

"Gah!"

Ling Bin jumped in fright. Turning around, he saw Chu Sheng wearing a cold sneer.

His heart nearly stopped from fright.

After two seconds of recovery, Ling Bin forced out an awkward smile.

"What are you talking about? That's completely ridiculous..."

The next second.

Boom—

Chu Sheng threw a punch directly, and the terrifying force instantly sent Li Bin flying.

"What the fuck are you? I spared you once, and you still dare to act like a bitch in front of me?"

The commotion drew everyone's attention.

After Li Bin landed, he was utterly stunned. Chu Sheng's punch just now had been far too heavy.

It was absolutely not something a First Layer Qi Sea Realm cultivator could throw!

Thinking that he had completely offended Chu Sheng to the death this time and could no longer remain in the Jingwu Bureau, Li Bin rose resentfully and pointed at Chu Sheng.

"He's Chu Sheng! He's the one who wiped out the Chimen Society!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hu immediately looked at Chu Sheng.

"You really wiped out the Chimen Society? Who gave you such colossal nerve!?"

Chu Sheng ignored him and instead asked someone beside him.

"Who the fuck is this idiot? Is he from our Jingwu Bureau?"

Even now, he did not know Zheng Hu's identity.

The person being questioned had just been about to explain when he suddenly realized something.

How the hell was he supposed to explain this?

Wouldn't explaining prove that Zheng Hu really was an idiot...

The Zheng family was a colossal entity that could make Shengze City tremble three times with a stomp of its foot.

Ordinary patrolmen like them simply could not afford to offend them.

This was a high-martial world.

For Noble Clans and great families, there were simply too many ways to make someone disappear without a sound.

It was the same even within the city.

At worst, they could casually find someone to take the blame.

That was why Zheng Hu was so arrogant and overbearing, yet no one dared to resist him.

What puzzled them, however, was that whenever someone had come to cause trouble in the past—

The bureau chief should have shown up long ago.

Where was he?

Zheng Hu was so angry that he laughed.

Forget a Bronze Patrolman—even a Gold Patrolman did not scare him.

Although he was a martial arts cripple who had failed to condense a qi sea even after reaching his fifties—

He still had the Zheng family behind him.

After all these years, this was the first time he had heard someone call him an idiot.

Mm, decided. This brat had to die.

Looking at Chu Sheng, he revealed a disdainful smile and shook his head.

"I'm not from the Jingwu Bureau."

Chu Sheng raised an eyebrow. "Then why the fuck are you putting on airs in front of me?"

Seeing his bearing and the fearful attitudes of the people around him—

Chu Sheng had thought he was some leader from the Jingwu Bureau.

Since he was not, then he was definitely someone behind the Chimen Society.

A protective umbrella for an evil force!

That made him a villain too!

"But my surname is—"

Zheng Hu continued, but before he could finish—

A giant dragon of purple lightning flashed past.

Boom—

Zheng Hu's obese body flew through the air like a sandbag, smashing heavily into the wall.

The sounds of cracking bones mixed with a dull impact.

After sliding to the ground, he lay limp, blood spilling from his nose and mouth. He looked utterly miserable.

This was already the result of Chu Sheng holding back.

Otherwise, a mere peak Open Meridian Realm cultivator would have been kicked into eight pieces by that kick.

"What do I care what your surname is?"

"Why don't you ask me who your daddy is!?"

For some reason, Chu Sheng thought of that pretentious young man in the Earth Abyss of Baian City, the one who had contributed a Storage Ring to him.

He always liked to leave people hanging.

If you had connections, you should have said so earlier.

Though he would have beaten him all the same...
