"How much?"
Chu Sheng froze at the system prompt.
That one kick had earned him a thousand Justice Points???
You had to know, even when he'd beaten the Chimen Society members senseless last night, the Meridian Opening Realm ones had only given him five hundred at most.
This guy had actually given him a thousand.
The truth is, there could only be one...
This guy had definitely committed every evil under the sun!
He was even worse than those gangsters!!
The people around them were still reeling from the shock of Chu Sheng's kick.
It wasn't until Zheng Hu spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm that they snapped back to their senses.
Zheng Hu had been beaten?
And one kick had nearly killed him?
No, wasn't Chu Sheng being way too bold?
Li Bin immediately rushed over to help Zheng Hu up, not forgetting to speak at the same time.
"Chu Sheng, you're finished. He's from the Zheng Family. The Zheng Family won't let you off!"
Seeing everyone cast strange looks at him,
Li Bin did not care in the slightest.
"What are you all looking at me for? I've offended him anyway. There's no place for me in the Jingwu Bureau anymore. I'm done serving here—I quit!"
This was the perfect chance for him to curry favor with the Zheng Family.
If he could truly board the Zheng Family's great ship, wouldn't that be far better than staying in the Jingwu Bureau?
Zheng Hu, who had been helped to his feet, wore a vicious expression.
"And the matter with the Chimen Society."
"Just you wait. No one can save you..."
Just as the two of them threw down their threats and turned to leave,
"Stand right there. Who gave you permission to leave?"
Chu Sheng walked over with a cold sneer.
"It would've been one thing if you hadn't mentioned the Chimen Society, but bringing them up just reminded me of something."
"The Chimen Society colluded with Alien Kin, intending to sabotage the No. 3 High School sparring tournament and harm Great Xia's geniuses. If this inspector hadn't happened to be there, they would have succeeded!"
"I was wondering where the Chimen Society got such colossal nerve. So the Zheng Family was backing them from the shadows. It seems you people are the true masterminds!"
Chu Sheng's words were truly deafening.
Lu Huaimin, who was watching the surveillance footage, was completely stunned.
He had never seen anyone who could bite so fiercely.
He bit from Alien Kin to the Chimen Society, then from the Chimen Society to the Zheng Family.
Zheng Hu really had run headlong into the muzzle of a gun.
Why hadn't he first asked around about why the Chimen Society had been wiped out?
He had come right up and asked about the Chimen Society.
Well, now he was done for.
Not only had he been crippled, but more importantly, he would not be going back.
Among the crowd, Sun Youya, who knew what had happened during the sparring tournament, curled his lips.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Alien Kin really hadn't succeeded.
But then how had Xu Ye's incredibly powerful B-rank Talent been crippled!?
Who did it? Such a hard guess...
Zheng Hu's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.
It had always been them framing others. When had anyone ever framed the Zheng Family?
"Y-you... you..."
Before he could even finish a sentence, he had already vomited a full two taels of blood.
"Enough. Don't die here. Two of you, take him to get treated. Once he recovers, bring him to the interrogation department and question him properly."
Though he was only a Bronze Patrol, Chu Sheng's words seemed like sacred decrees. Two people immediately stepped forward and took Zheng Hu away.
Li Bin stood there, utterly dumbfounded.
He had been planning to escort Zheng Hu back and use the opportunity to serve the Zheng Family.
What was he supposed to do now?
Chu Sheng gave a light laugh, cursed him as "trash," then turned and left.
The rest of the people shook their heads and dispersed as well.
A few of them had originally been on fairly good terms with Li Bin.
After this incident, they all slapped a label onto Li Bin in their hearts.
Clown.
Director's Office.
Lu Huaimin's eyes were full of approval as he said loudly,
"Good! You've truly raised the prestige of our Jingwu Bureau!"
"Bring him a seat!"
Speechless, Chu Sheng dragged over a chair and sat down.
"So you were watching the whole time? What, as the director of the Jingwu Bureau, you're actually afraid of a Zheng Family?"
"Afraid?"
Lu Huaimin smiled. "Zheng Jun is only at the fifth level of the True Essence Realm, while I'm at the peak of the True Essence Realm. Why would I be afraid of their Zheng Family?"
"It's just that Shengze City has more than one Zheng Family."
"Move one hair and the whole body follows. If I move against the Zheng Family, the other Worldly Families will start stomping their feet. By then, whether I can even sit securely in this position would be another matter."
Chu Sheng nodded. "So you want me to make a move against them? Because Dragon Martial Academy is backing me?"
Lu Huaimin nodded first, then shook his head.
"No. It's not that I want you to. Clearly, you're the one who wants to. I'm not forcing you. Even if you just loaf around here and live off your monthly allowance, I wouldn't say a word."
Chu Sheng pondered for a while.
Meeting a director like this was not a bad thing for him.
At the very least, their goals were the same, and Lu Huaimin would not trip him up.
The only thing that worried him was...
"Is Dragon Martial Academy's backing really that useful?"
"A top academy—what do you think? Their network of connections runs vast and deep.
"Besides, the Dongyun Province Long Family stands behind them. The more genius you appear, the stronger your backing becomes. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chu Sheng nodded.
So his backing was even tougher than he had imagined.
An SSS-rank Talent and reaching the Qi Sea Realm at eighteen—how much more of a genius could he possibly be?
He had hit the ceiling already, brother.
Even revealing that he had another SSS-rank Talent would be meaningless. People had already gone numb from shattered thresholds.
So what he needed to consider now was how to capture evildoers more efficiently.
At that thought, Chu Sheng was filled with drive, and his eyes brightened a little.
Infected by his enthusiasm, Lu Huaimin excitedly slapped the desk.
Bang—
"Do whatever you want. I'll support you!"
"I'm going to arrest someone!"
Bang—
"Good man! You're fucking the nemesis of evil itself!"
"I'm going to the Zheng Family to arrest someone!"
Bang—
"That won't do."
Lu Huaimin explained with a face-changing speed that could only be described as instantaneous.
"Everyone who could testify that the Chimen Society colluded with Alien Kin is dead. You have no way to pin that filth on the Zheng Family."
"At most, you can summon them for questioning. You don't even have grounds to arrest them."
"Then summon them for questioning." Chu Sheng settled for the next best thing.
There would be plenty of room to maneuver there.
A grand Worldly Family surely would not be so cooperative, right?
When the time came, he could give them a proper lesson in the law.
And incidentally earn quite a few Justice Points.
He had already looked into the Zheng Family's information. Their strongest member was only at the fifth level of the True Essence Realm.
And he was some old bastard over a hundred years old.
If they really came to blows, he would not be Chu Sheng's opponent.
Besides, he would have to dare to make a move first.
If they openly attacked and killed Jingwu Bureau law enforcement officers, then the Zheng Family would be finished.
Lu Huaimin did not understand the point of this, but Chu Sheng did not explain.
He merely had him issue a summons warrant.
After leaving the Jingwu Bureau's gates, Chu Sheng froze.
He had no car, and he did not know where the Zheng Family was.
Remembering Sun Youya's number in the records, he called again, only to discover that he had been blocked.
"There are always more solutions than difficulties."
Chu Sheng quickly came up with an idea.
He opened the Jingwu Bureau app, randomly selected a mission, and signed up for it.
At the same time,
"Ding!"
"Mission matching complete. Click to view details."
Hearing the system prompt, the woman ecstatically pulled out her phone.
But when she saw the information of the person she had been matched with, she was dumbfounded.
"Accumulated 400 merit points, first level Qi Sea Realm..."
"Are you screwing with me!?"
"My profile clearly said I needed a powerhouse to carry me!!"
