Shengze City, North Gate.

The guards watched as the Min Family left the city in a grand procession.

They whispered amongst themselves.

"So many people, what's going on?"

"I heard someone caused trouble at their camp and injured quite a few people."

"More than that, the latest news is that even Min Yue, who is 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 strong!? But with so many people from the Min Family going after him, he's finished..."

Half an hour later.

The roar of engines grew louder.

A convoy even larger than the Min Family's entered their sight.

Every vehicle was marked with the Jingwu Bureau's insignia!

Counting carefully, there were no less than thirty vehicles carrying over a hundred people in total!!

This was the first time they had ever seen the Jingwu Bureau mobilize such a force.

Even the time they searched the entire city for that member of the Guangming Society, it didn't compare to this.

"Holy crap, that many people, what's the big deal?"

"Could they be going to rescue that Bronze Patrol?"

"No way, just a Bronze Patrol, is it worth the Jingwu Bureau making such a big fuss?"

"What if he has connections? I heard before that someone got into the Jingwu Bureau through the back door..."

The Jingwu Bureau's mobilization shocked the entire Shengze City.

The Zheng Family.

By Li Bin's sickbed.

Zheng Dongming's face was filled with rage.

"You're saying Chu Sheng is Lu Huaimin's nephew!?"

Li Bin spoke with difficulty, "Yes, I heard Chu Sheng call him 'uncle' himself..."

If it weren't for Li Bin being half-dead, Zheng Dongming would have slapped him long ago!

"Nonsense!"

"He dared to mobilize so many people for his nephew!? Over a hundred men!!!"

"How many people are there in the entire Jingwu Bureau!?"

"Even if it were his own son, he wouldn't dare to go this far! And you're telling me it's his nephew!"

Just as Li Bin was about to retort, the Zheng Family's second elder burst in.

"Big brother, headquarters of the Jingwu Bureau has replied."

Zheng Dongming's face lit up, "What did they say?"

As soon as Chu Sheng left, the Zheng Family had already filed a complaint with the Jingwu Bureau headquarters.

Reporting Chu Sheng and Lu Huaimin.

He thought there would be good news.

"They said 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 you have any problems, take it up with the Long Family."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Dongming's brow immediately furrowed.

The Long Family?

Which Long Family?

The next second, his pupils contracted, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, but not a sound came out, as if invisible hands were choking his throat.

After a long while, he finally choked out, "The Long Family of Dongyun Province?"

The Zheng Family's second elder nodded.

Zheng Dongming swallowed hard, then looked at Li Bin on the sickbed.

"You damn dog, what did our Zheng Family ever do to you to set us up like this!?"

"You said he was Lu Huaimin's nephew!? Damn it, he went through the back door all the way to the Long Family!!!"

"Damn it!"

He no longer had the mind to care about Li Bin's injuries, Zheng Dongming grabbed him and flung him out the door.

"Someone, throw him far away for me, the farther the better!"

At this moment, Li Bin's eyes were still wide open, his face full of disbelief.

This is Chu Sheng's true background!??

How could I have the nerve to ask him to apologize to Lin Hongzhao?

How can I be such a sycophant???

Thinking about how he had been fawning over Lin Hongzhao for three years, two months, and six days, only to end up in this situation.

At this moment, he finally understood.

Lin Hongzhao wasn't oblivious to his feelings; she simply never liked him.

Can't find the book title? You can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

It's like standing by a bonfire, wouldn't you feel the heat?

A sycophant is a sycophant; in the end, they have nothing.

And you, my friend, do you understand?

"What the heck?"

Chu Sheng scratched his head, confused by the sudden system notification.

He glanced at Su Qing, only to see her still looking thoughtful, not at all like a sycophant.

So, what had he done now?

It was already late at night, and there weren't many people in the Abyssal Depths.

However, they hadn't even seen a shadow 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 already investigated the Gu Family's situation.

The person ahead was Gu Changge's aunt, Gu Fang.

Seeing the two of them, Gu Fang was also visibly startled.

After hearing that they were there for Gu Changge.

Gu Fang said coldly, "We have already found him, and after we return to the city, we will send him to the Jingwu Bureau. You don't need to trouble yourselves."

With that, she turned to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Chu Sheng sneered, "Are you out of your mind? He's a murderer, and we're here to apprehend him. What business is it of yours? Do you need to send him?"

Gu Fang scoffed, "Then go find Changge yourselves. I'd like to see if you can find him."

Young people don't know how to speak properly.

Aren't you arrogant? Then go find him yourself~

"I understand."

Chu Sheng nodded, then slapped Gu Fang, sending her flying several feet and rolling on the ground.

"Idiot, have you heard of accessory after the fact? Knowingly harboring a criminal, concealing a major offender, two years minimum!"

"Ah?"

Not only Gu Fang but Su Qing beside her was also stunned.

They had never seen someone use the law so skillfully.

He was simply too knowledgeable about the law!

Gu Fang was terrified, her expression flustered.

"My lord, please don't. I'll take you there now."

With that, Gu Fang walked ahead, leading the two of them.

She stopped in front of a cave.

Here, several other Gu Family members were guarding.

The middle-aged man in the lead was Gu Changge's father, Gu Ruhai.

He glanced at Chu Sheng and the two of them.

A slight, thin smile curved the corners of Gu Ruhai's mouth.

Two Bronze Patrol officers.

It seemed the Jingwu Bureau wasn't too invested in this case.

Thankfully, he hadn't trusted them from the start.

Looking at Gu Fang, Gu Ruhai spoke with a tone of reproach.

"I asked you to go get some food, and you brought me two useless losers?"

Gu Fang hurriedly explained, "Big brother, they forced me to bring them along. He even slapped me."

"Oh!?" Gu Ruhai's expression changed.

But before he could make his next move, he heard Chu Sheng curse:

"Oh, your mother, you old bastard!"

"You're insulting Jingwu Bureau enforcers! Don't you know that's illegal!?"

As the words fell, the scene became unnervingly quiet.

After several seconds, the Gu Family members burst into laughter.

An old man with graying hair, utterly amused, circled Chu Sheng.

"Hahaha, interesting, truly interesting. This is the first time I've seen a Bronze Patrol officer this bold."

"But have you forgotten where you are?"

As he moved behind Chu Sheng, the old man placed a hand on Chu Sheng's shoulder, suddenly exerted force, and sneered.

"Kid, get on your knees!!!"
