Shengze City, North Gate.
Watching the Min Family's massive group file out through the city gate,
the guards at the gate began discussing it animatedly.
"So many people—did something happen?"
"I heard someone caused trouble at their camp and injured quite a few people."
"That's not all. The latest news is that even Min Yue, at the second level of the True Essence Realm, was killed. It was done by a Bronze Patrol from the Jingwu Bureau."
"A Bronze Patrol? That fierce!? But with the Min Family sending so many people, he's finished..."
Half an hour later.
The roar of engines erupted.
A convoy even larger than the Min Family's charged into everyone's sight.
Every vehicle bore the Jingwu Bureau's insignia!
Counting carefully, there were no fewer than thirty vehicles, carrying over a hundred people in total!!
This was the first time anyone had seen the Jingwu Bureau make such a massive move.
Even the citywide hunt for that Bright Society member last time had been nowhere near this scale.
"Holy shit, so many people—what happened?"
"Could they be going to save that Bronze Patrol?"
"No way, right? Is one mere Bronze Patrol worth the Jingwu Bureau making such a huge fuss?"
"What if he has connections? I heard before that someone got into the Jingwu Bureau through the back door..."
The Jingwu Bureau's commotion shook the entire Shengze City.
The Zheng Family.
At Li Bin's sickbed.
Zheng Dongming's face was filled with rage.
"You said Chu Sheng is Lu Huaimin's nephew!?"
Li Bin spoke with difficulty. "Yes, I heard Chu Sheng call him Uncle with my own ears..."
If Li Bin had not been half-dead already, Zheng Dongming would have slapped him across the face long ago!
"Bullshit!"
"He'd dare make such a huge move for his nephew!? More than a hundred people!!!"
"How many people are there in the entire Jingwu Bureau!?"
"Even if it were his own son, he wouldn't dare do this! And you're telling me it's his nephew!"
Just as Li Bin wanted to explain himself, the Zheng Family's second son suddenly barged in.
"Big Brother, the Jingwu Bureau headquarters sent back a reply."
Zheng Dongming's expression brightened. "What did they say?"
Ever since Chu Sheng left, the Zheng Family had called the Jingwu Bureau headquarters to lodge a complaint.
They reported Chu Sheng and Lu Huaimin.
He had thought there was good news.
"They said that after an investigation, Chu Sheng and Lu Huaimin have no relationship whatsoever. Also, they said Chu Sheng was specially approved by the government to join the Jingwu Bureau. If we have any issues, they told us to take them to the Long Family."
At those words, Zheng Dongming's brows instantly furrowed.
The Long Family?
Which Long Family?
The next second, his pupils shrank sharply, and cold sweat dripped from his temples.
His Adam's apple bobbed violently, yet he could not make the slightest sound,
as though an invisible pair of hands had clamped around his throat.
Only after quite a while
did he choke out, "The Long Family of Dongyun Province?"
The Zheng Family's second son nodded.
Zheng Dongming swallowed, then looked at Li Bin on the bed.
"You fucking dog, what did the Zheng Family ever do to you for you to screw us over like this!?"
"You said he was Lu Huaimin's nephew!? His fucking backdoor connection reaches all the way to the Long Family!!!"
"Fuck!"
Having no more mind to care how severe Li Bin's injuries were,
Zheng Dongming grabbed him and flung him out the door.
"Someone, throw him as far away as possible—the farther, the better!"
At that moment, Li Bin still stared with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
So this was Chu Sheng's true background!??
I fucking wanted him to apologize to Lin Hongzhao?
How could I be such a bootlicker???
Thinking of how he had fawned over Lin Hongzhao for three years, two months, and six days, only to end up like this,
at this moment, he finally understood.
It was not that Lin Hongzhao did not understand his feelings. She simply had never thought much of him.
Can't find the book by its title? Try searching for the author—it may have simply been renamed!
Would you fail to feel warmth while standing beside a bonfire?
A bootlicker, a bootlicker—licking until there is nothing left.
And you, my friend, do you understand now?

"What the hell?"
Chu Sheng scratched his head, somewhat baffled by the system notification that had popped up out of nowhere.
He turned to look at Su Qing, only to see that she still wore a lingering look of fear. She had nothing whatsoever to do with a bootlicker.
So what had he done this time?
It was already late at night, and there were not many people in the Earth Abyss.
Yet they had not even caught a glimpse of Gu Changge.
After searching for another half hour,
Su Qing suddenly pointed ahead excitedly. "It's someone from the Gu Family!"
After signing up for the mission, Su Qing had investigated the Gu Family's situation.
The person ahead was Gu Changge's aunt, Gu Fang.
Seeing the two of them, Gu Fang was clearly taken aback as well.
After hearing that they had come for Gu Changge,
Gu Fang said coldly, "We've already found him. Once we return to the city, we'll send him to the Jingwu Bureau, so there's no need for you to trouble yourselves."
With that, she turned to leave.
"Stand right there!"
Chu Sheng sneered. "Are you fucking sick in the head? He's a murderer. We're here to arrest him—what does it have to do with you? Do we need you to deliver him?"
Gu Fang said disdainfully, "Then go find Changge yourselves. I'd like to see whether you can find him."
Young people these days did not even know how to speak properly.
Weren't you arrogant? Then go find him yourself~
"I understand."
Chu Sheng nodded, then slapped Gu Fang flying. She rolled several times across the ground.
"Idiot, ever heard of the crime of harboring a fugitive? Failing to report what you know and concealing a major criminal—minimum sentence, two years!"
"Huh?"
Not only Gu Fang, even Su Qing beside him was stunned.
She had never seen anyone wield the law with such effortless mastery.
He understood the law far too well!
Gu Fang was frightened, her expression panicked.
"My lord, don't. I'll take you there right now."
With that, Gu Fang walked in front and led the two of them onward.
She did not stop until they reached a cave.
Several members of the Gu Family were guarding this place as well.
The middle-aged man at the head was Gu Changge's father, Gu Ruhai.
He glanced at Chu Sheng and Su Qing.
A frivolous curve lifted at the corner of Gu Ruhai's mouth.
Two Bronze Patrols.
It seemed the Jingwu Bureau did not care much about this case.
Good thing he had never trusted them from the start.
Looking at Gu Fang, Gu Ruhai spoke in a reproachful tone.
"I told you to go get some food, and you brought me two pieces of trash?"
Gu Fang hurriedly explained, "Big Brother, they forced me to bring them here. He even slapped me."
"Oh!?" Gu Ruhai's expression changed.
Yet before he could make another move,
he heard Chu Sheng curse:
"'Oh' my ass, you old bastard!"
"Insulting Jingwu Bureau law enforcement officers—you fucking know that's illegal!?"
The moment those words fell, the scene became extraordinarily quiet.
Several seconds later, everyone from the Gu Family burst into laughter.
One white-haired old man was so amused that he circled Chu Sheng repeatedly.
"Hahaha, interesting. Truly interesting. This is the first time I've ever seen a Bronze Patrol as bold as you."
"But have you forgotten where this is?"
When he circled behind Chu Sheng,
the old man placed a hand on Chu Sheng's shoulder, suddenly exerted force, and snorted coldly.
"Little brat, kneel for me!!!"
