Li Mou Still Has Some Face

About twenty minutes later.

A woman with her long hair tied back walked up to Chu Sheng and looked him over.

She was a stranger, and so young too. She must be that new recruit.

"Are you Chu Sheng? When did you join the Jingwu Bureau?"

"Yesterday."

Su Qing nodded. She hadn't been back for four days, so it was understandable she wouldn't know about a new recruit who arrived yesterday.

"For future missions, you'd better read the descriptions carefully before accepting them."

Chu Sheng glanced at her. "Are you telling me how to do my job?"

"Didn't you read the mission details? Don't you know how tricky this mission is?"

"I didn't read it, and I don't need to."

Chu Sheng just wanted someone to take him to the Zheng Family. The mission was just a means to an end. How tricky it was didn't even cross his mind.

If intelligence isn't enough, brute force will make up for it. Fortunately, in that regard, he was very skilled.

Su Qing was stunned, but quickly sensed something was amiss.

"That's not right. You only joined the Jingwu Bureau yesterday. How did you get these 400 merit points?"

"I completed a D-class mission and got an additional 300 merit points for clearing out the Chimen Society. Alright, now it's my turn to ask you—"

"Can you drive?"

"..."

Su Qing was dumbfounded. She thought she had misheard. A rookie wiped out the Chimen Society? It wasn't like he said, "You guys eat first, I'll go take that pillbox..."

But the merit points couldn't be faked. Had she just latched onto a big shot!? Maybe this mission could actually be completed!

Once she came to her senses, she nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, I can drive."

"Let's go, drive to the Zheng Family."

"Uh... huh? The Zheng Family? What are we going there for? And the Chimen Society..."

"Don't worry, I'm just delivering something."

Hearing this, Su Qing didn't hesitate any longer and agreed immediately. It was just delivering something. What trouble could come from delivering something? Perhaps this was Chu Sheng's way of apologizing.

On the way.

Su Qing explained the mission details to Chu Sheng. The fugitive they were supposed to apprehend was named Gu Changge, and his cultivation level was at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm.

Su Qing specifically emphasized, "Although he's only at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, he killed someone at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm."

"So that's why no one would take this mission?"

"No, the crucial point is his surname is Gu, and the Gu Family has already issued a letter of understanding. His crime isn't punishable by death. If you actually kill him, it would be equivalent to offending the Gu Family. Think about it, this person is so powerful, and you have to be careful not to kill him. Even a peak Qi Sea Realm expert couldn't achieve that..."

"Wait a minute..." Chu Sheng frowned. "I'm a bit confused."

"You just said the Gu Family issued a letter of understanding!?"

Su Qing nodded. "He killed someone from the Gu Family, of course, the Gu Family would issue a letter of understanding."

"Ah, I forgot to tell you, although this Gu Changge is the son of the Gu Family Patriarch, Gu Ruhai, he was only found two years ago."

"He had been living out in the wild before. The Gu Family members were very good to him to compensate him."

"But it seems he has some mental issues, like persecution complex. He always claimed his family abused him. One rainy night half a year ago, for some reason, he went insane and killed both of his sisters and his younger brother, then disappeared."

"When he was escaping, he was shouting about the 'Supreme Bone' or something. He must have gone completely mad."

Chu Sheng's brows furrowed into the character "川" as he listened. Only when he heard the words "Supreme Bone" did he have a sudden realization.

I've solved the case, I'm hooked on reading Western novels.

This kind of template in a Western novel would make for a perfect main villain, definitely capable of racking up a lot of Justice Points.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you can find it again.

However, the most crucial thing right now is.

He's gone missing, don't I have to find him?

I'm not good at finding people, and it's a waste of time.

As if sensing his doubts, Su Qing explained.

"There's reliable information that Gu Changge appeared in an Abyssal Depths in the wilderness area three days ago and hasn't emerged since."

"Ah, then there's no problem. I'll go take a look after I finish delivering this."

Meanwhile, at the Zheng Family manor in the east of the city.

Li Bin recounted all the events that had transpired at the Jingwu Bureau.

Upon hearing that Zheng Hu had been severely injured by Chu Sheng and was being held at the Jingwu Bureau.

The members of the Zheng Family were instantly enraged.

"Arrogant! How dare a mere Bronze Patrol act like this against our Zheng Family, he must be tired of living!"

"Colluding with Alien Kin, what a load of crap! Lu Huaimin wouldn't even dare say such a thing, yet a mere inspector has such audacity."

"We can't just let this go. If this brat isn't dealt with, how will our Zheng Family ever hold its head up in Shengze City?"

Zheng Dongming interrupted everyone's discussion.

"Enough. Before we understand that brat's background, no one is to provoke him."

He entered the Jingwu Bureau through the back door and possesses strength comparable to the peak of the Qi Sea Realm.

These two factors combined are highly unusual.

Especially the former, something even our Zheng Family cannot accomplish.

Li Bin's super intelligence told him it was time for him to shine.

"I know his background. He's related to our Bureau Chief; he's his nephew."

"Really!?" Zheng Dongming asked in surprise.

A mere nephew of a Bureau Chief has such immense audacity?

And how dare Lu Huaimin place someone like that in the Jingwu Bureau?

Wouldn't a single anonymous tip blow everything up?

Li Bin patted his chest confidently.

"Truly. He called the Bureau Chief right in front of me and called him 'Uncle.' I heard it very clearly. Many people in the Jingwu Bureau know this as well. You can confirm it if you don't believe me."

At this point, the crowd had no more reservations. Even Lu Huaimin wouldn't dare act like this; his nephew was brazenly overstepping. He must be dealt with. They would make their move tonight! Hee hee, that kid surely wouldn't expect our revenge to be so swift, would he?

Zheng Dongming patted Li Bin's shoulder with great appreciation.

"You've done very well; our Zheng Family needs talented individuals like you."

"Why don't you quit your job at the Jingwu Bureau and come work for our Zheng Family?"

Li Bin hadn't told them that he had already offended Chu Sheng and was looking for a way out of the Jingwu Bureau. Hearing this, although he was secretly delighted, he put on a show of hesitation. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Patriarch Zheng. I, Li Bin, will resign from my post at the Jingwu Bureau today."

"I only ask that in the future, Family Head..."

Before Li Bin could finish speaking, someone rushed in to report.

"Patriarch, someone from the Jingwu Bureau is here and says they need to summon you."

As the words fell, the expressions of everyone in the Zheng Family changed drastically.

Summoning the Patriarch of the Zheng Family!?

What was Lu Huaimin trying to do at the bottom of the well?!

Li Bin was already worried about not having a chance to show off, and he hadn't expected this to be a heaven-sent opportunity.

Delivering summons was always the job of auxiliary, temporary staff.

He only needed a couple of sentences to send him away.

"Patriarch, please remain calm. I, Li, do have some standing in the Jingwu Bureau, so you can leave this matter to me."
