What's It To Me What Your Last Name Is

Ling Bin was utterly stunned.

He hadn't expected Chu Sheng to not only openly admit to using his connections but to also brazenly ask for Ling Bin to be fired! How could something like this happen so openly, without any pretense...

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

Ling Bin lowered his head, his face flushed, daring not to utter a sound. He had gone through so much to get into the Jingwu Bureau back then. If he were fired now, his losses would be immense.

Chu Sheng's lips curved upward slightly, and he said into the phone, "It's nothing, Uncle."

After hanging up, he turned his gaze back to Ling Bin.

"I originally planned to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but all I got was mockery. I'm done pretending. I do have powerful backing, and I'm laying my cards on the table now."

"Consider this a lesson. If there's a next time, you'll be fired directly!"

Ling Bin nodded blankly and turned to leave.

"Wait."

"It's not that I'm kind-hearted, but you just kept your job. Say thank you."

[Great Benevolence, helped Ling Bin keep his job]

[Justice Points +300]

"Th-thank you..." The words seemed to be ground out from between his teeth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Bin fled as if his feet caught wind.

When he reached a place where no one could see him, he coughed out several mouthfuls of blood. This was the first time in his life he had suffered such a humiliating disgrace. The surge of anger and frustration was overwhelming.

"Damn it, he only knows how to bully others with his family background. One day, I'll make you kneel and beg me..."

After cursing for a good ten minutes, Ling Bin finally felt a bit better.

However, it wasn't long before he heard some good news. Someone from the Zheng family had arrived!

There were quite a few people with the surname Zheng in Shengze City, but if you were to simply say "the Zheng family," it would only refer to that particular household in the east of the city. The old patriarch, Zheng Jun, was a genuine Stage Four True Essence Realm cultivator at the fifth level. The current family head, Zheng Dongming, was at the second level of the True Essence Realm. His daughter, Zheng Xuerong, was the closed-door disciple of the Moon Fragrance Sect's sect master. Even the City Lord had to show the Zheng family some respect.

The Zheng family's purpose for coming was quite clear: the Chimen Society had been helping them amass wealth. So, what was the problem with it being wiped out? They heard that the person who came was the most hot-tempered, the Zheng family's third son – Zheng Hu.

Ling Bin's lips immediately curved into a sinister smile.

"Chu Sheng, you have connections, don't you? Now, I want to see just how powerful your connections really are!"

Jingwu Bureau Hall.

Zheng Hu's face was grim. He casually grabbed a passerby.

"Who was responsible for the Chimen Society incident last night?"

The person was stunned and quickly shook his head, "It wasn't me, I don't know anything about it."

Then, Zheng Hu asked another person, and received the same answer: he didn't know. It was a joke. Just moments ago, Chu Sheng had shown everyone the power of having connections. If they sold him out now, wouldn't they just be waiting for retaliation?

As Zheng Hu was questioning a third person, an unexpected voice cut in.

"It was Chu Sheng!"

Everyone turned to look, but the person had already vanished.

"Chu Sheng!?"

Zheng Hu released the person he was holding and looked on with confusion. There was no one named Chu among the Silver Patrol and Gold Patrol of the Jingwu Bureau.

"Where is he!?"

The surrounding crowd fell silent once more.

After firing a shot, Li Bin, who had already changed positions, also looked around.

But after looking left and right, he couldn't see Chu Sheng.

Just as he was lamenting in his heart how lucky Chu Sheng was to have dodged this calamity.

The next moment, he heard the voice behind him that almost sent his soul to heaven.

"You little punk, looking for your daddy?"

"Hmph!"

Li Bin was startled and turned his head, seeing Chu Sheng with a cold smile.

His heart nearly stopped from fright.

After a two-second pause, Li Bin showed an awkward smile.

"What are you talking about, it's so weird..."

The next second.

Bang—

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

"What kind of crap are you, I let you off once, and you dare to act so obnoxious with me?"

This commotion also attracted everyone's attention.

Li Bin was utterly shocked after landing. Chu Sheng's punch just now was simply too heavy.

It was by no means something a cultivator at the first level of the Qi Sea Realm could unleash!

Thinking that he had completely offended Chu Sheng this time, and that he couldn't stay in the Jingwu Bureau anymore.

Li Bin got up resentfully and pointed at Chu Sheng.

"He is Chu Sheng! He's the one who wiped out the Yi Men Association!"

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

"Did you really wipe out the Yi Men Association? Who gave you the guts!?"

Chu Sheng ignored him and asked the person beside him.

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

He still didn't know Zheng Hu's identity.

The person being asked was about to explain, but suddenly realized.

How the hell was he supposed to explain this?

If he explained, wouldn't that prove Zheng Hu was truly an idiot...

The Zheng Family was a colossal power that could make Shengze City tremble with just a stomp.

Ordinary patrol officers like them couldn't afford to offend them.

This was a high-level martial arts world.

For influential families, there were countless ways to make a person disappear without a trace.

Even within the city.

At the very least, they could easily find someone to take the fall.

This was why Zheng Hu was so arrogant and domineering, and why everyone dared not resist.

It was just strange to them that whenever someone came to cause trouble, the director would usually appear long before this.

Where was he?

Zheng Hu was so angered he laughed.

Let alone a Bronze Patrol officer, he wasn't afraid of a Gold Patrol officer either.

Although he was a martial arts waste, and hadn't condensed his Qi Sea in his fifties.

He couldn't help but have the Zheng Family behind him.

After so many years, this was the first time he'd heard someone call him an idiot.

Well, he had decided. This brat had to die.

Looking at Chu Sheng, he smiled dismissively and shook his head.

"I am not from the Jingwu Bureau."

Chu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Then why are you acting tough with me?"

Judging by his aura and the fearful attitudes of those around him, Chu Sheng had initially assumed this was a leader from the Jingwu Bureau.

Since it wasn't, he figured it had to be the person behind the Yi Men Association.

Acting as a shield for evil forces!

This was also an evil person!

"But my surname is—"

Zheng Hu tried to continue, but before he could finish, a gigantic purple lightning dragon streaked across.

BOOM——

Zheng Hu's corpulent body was sent flying like a sandbag, crashing heavily against the wall.

The sound of splintering bones mingled with a dull thud.

He slithered to the ground, collapsing limply, blood flowing from his nose and mouth. He looked utterly pathetic.

This was the result of Chu Sheng holding back.

Otherwise, for someone merely at the peak of the Meridian Opening stage, this kick would have torn him in half.

"I don't care what your surname is!"

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

For some reason, Chu Sheng was reminded of that pretentious young man in the Abyssal Depths of Baian City who had gifted him a Storage Ring.

He always liked to speak cryptically.

If it mattered, you should have said so earlier.

Though I would have beaten you up regardless...
