Why Don't You Ask If He Fears Me

"What are you still standing around for? Let's go!"

It wasn't until Chu Sheng walked up to her that Su Qing finally reacted.

Just leave like this?

Since when was the Zheng family so reasonable?

The moment she saw Chu Sheng blow up the Zheng family's gate, Su Qing's mind was filled with only one thought.

He was going to get her killed.

But she never expected that not only would they leave alive, they'd also managed to capture someone.

With so many people in the Zheng family, not a single one dared to utter a peep.

Just who in the world was this Chu Sheng...

When the two returned to the Jingwu Bureau, it caused another huge stir.

First, he crippled Zheng Hu.

And now, he'd gone to the Zheng family and brought back a young girl.

After listening to Su Qing's vivid account, Chu Sheng had completely overturned everyone's understanding.

They'd openly slapped the Zheng family in the face, and the Zheng family hadn't even dared to make a sound.

This had nothing to do with strength anymore.

It was about background!

Someone incredibly powerful and well-connected had come to the Jingwu Bureau!

Everyone envied Su Qing for being able to go on missions with Chu Sheng.

Little did they know, Su Qing inwardly wished she could hand the opportunity over to them.

She was simply too terrified.

Chu Sheng might have a good background, but she didn't.

If she got caught in the crossfire, she'd be that fish.

Before long, Chu Sheng returned.

"Let's go."

It was still morning, and there was plenty of time.

Chu Sheng planned to arrest Gu Changge, who was poisoned by reading romance novels, as soon as possible.

The car drove out of the city.

It wasn't until evening that they reached their destination.

Unlike the Abyssal Depths in Baian City, there was no Abyss Quelling Department stationed here.

There were countless Abyssal Depths within the Federation's borders, and the Abyss Quelling Department didn't have enough manpower.

Therefore, for some Abyssal Depths located further from cities, the government tacitly allowed civilian organizations to manage them.

This Abyssal Depth was managed by the Min Family of Shengze City.

Above the Abyssal Depth was a small fortified settlement.

It had everything from food and drink to entertainment.

However, due to its location in the wilderness and private management, the order there was maintained solely by force and money.

Murder and arson?

No big deal, just pay a fine to the Min Family.

Seeing that Chu Sheng and Su Qing were wearing uniforms, the guards at the entrance immediately put on a smile.

"Well, well, what a rare sight! For the esteemed adults of the Jingwu Bureau to grace our humble settlement, could it be that someone here has committed an offense?"

Su Qing stepped forward, paid the entrance fee, and said with a smile.

"That's right, it's a small case, but it has nothing to do with the settlement."

The guard didn't say much more, only reminding them.

"The settlement has its rules, and you must abide by them once you enter. Catching people is fine, but don't break the rules, or it'll be awkward for everyone."

After entering the settlement, Chu Sheng asked.

"What rules are there?"

"Oh, it's nothing more than prohibiting fighting and brawling, murder, arson, and things like that. It's pretty much the same as outside."

From behind, the guards watched their retreating figures and sneered.

"They've got some nerve to come here and arrest someone."

"How many decent people are there in this village? I bet most of them will end up dead here."

"I'll bet nine-tenths. That kid's eyes are truly strange. Just one glance from him gives me goosebumps all over. If he runs into someone hot-tempered, they'll probably start a fight right then and there."

"Holy crap, you feel that too? I did just now as well. I thought it was just my imagination."

"Me too..."

Chu Sheng and the other person were wearing Jingwu Bureau uniforms, making them exceptionally conspicuous.

It drew frequent glances from those around them.

A sleazy man sidled up closer.

"Two esteemed sirs, are you here on official business? Do you need to hire some bodyguards? I have people from the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm all the way to the peak. The prices are fair, and there's no cheating."

Chu Sheng slowly stopped walking.

"You need to hire bodyguards in this village?"

The sleazy man's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:

"This village is a mixed bag, with plenty of people who have blood on their hands. Who knows who you're here to arrest? Aren't you afraid they'll get desperate and strike first?"

Hearing this, Chu Sheng found it amusing.

He hadn't expected this village to be a den of thieves.

"Thank you."

With that, the two were about to leave when they saw the sleazy man suddenly reach out to block them.

"Sirs, for your patronage, that'll be ten thousand yuan."

Seeing their confusion, the sleazy man chuckled.

"You asked me a question just now, and that question is worth ten thousand yuan. What, are you trying to welch on the deal?"

Chu Sheng smiled faintly. "No."

Upon hearing this, the sleazy man's face immediately lit up with joy. He was about to praise them for being perceptive and tell them to pay up quickly.

But then he heard Chu Sheng continue:

"You also asked me a question just now. That'll be one hundred million. Subtracting yours, and wiping off a zero for you, you only need to give me ninety million."

"What!?" The sleazy man's expression changed. "You dare to mess with—"

Bang—

Before he could finish, Chu Sheng kicked him flying over ten meters away.

"What kind of trash are you, trying to extort law enforcement officers? Do you know Liang Jingru?"

[Disciplined a lawless scoundrel who dared to act recklessly]

[Justice Points +500]

This scene completely stunned everyone around.

A bald man, gloating, said:

"Haha, you guys are finished. He's one of the Min Family's people."

Su Qing's expression changed, and she hurriedly said:

"This Abyssal Depths area is managed by the Min Family. They even have a True Essence Realm expert stationed here. We should leave first."

The sleazy man struggled to get up, his face filled with venom.

"Leave? You wish..."

Behind him, four village guards pushed through the crowd.

All of them were at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm. The leader was a burly middle-aged man.

They were in cahoots with the sleazy man, specifically targeting hot-headed young people for this scam.

First, they would intimidate them with the village rules, and then persuade them to pay money to settle the matter.

This tactic had never failed them before.

The middle-aged man said coldly, "Fighting is prohibited in this village. Violators will have their limbs broken. These are our rules. Do you have any objections!?"

"Yes," Chu Sheng nodded.

The middle-aged man was stunned. This was the first time he had heard a different answer.

"Oh? Do you think these rules are unreasonable?"

"They are reasonable, but they are illegal. Setting up your own tribunal is against the law, do you know that!?"

The guards were stunned, then burst into laughter.

Even the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh at Chu Sheng's naivete.

"Kid, we admit we've broken the law. So what? Are you trying to enforce the law here?"

"Or what?"

With that, Chu Sheng took a step forward, a loud crackling sound of electricity erupting.

The next moment, a colossal dragon of purple lightning roared and surged towards the group.

Boom—

The instant he appeared, Chu Sheng threw out a punch.

It was so fast that the surrounding onlookers couldn't even see it clearly.

The middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, but before he could intercept, the punch landed squarely on his chest.

Crackle—

His ribs snapped instantly, and the middle-aged man spat blood as he was sent flying backward.

Following that, a series of "snap" sounds erupted.

The remaining three guards were completely incapacitated.

The speed and ruthlessness of his attack far exceeded everyone's imagination.

[Disciplined four villains who illegally set up their own law enforcement.]

[Justice Points +2000]

Chu Sheng walked up to the sleazy man.

"You... you..."

The sleazy man's eyes widened, his face filled with terror.

"Don't do anything rash! My Min Family has a True Essence Realm expert stationed here!"

"True Essence Realm!? What level?"

"Second level! So what, scared now?"

Chu Sheng casually slapped him away.

"He's at the second level, and I'm at the third. Why don't you ask him if he fears me?"
