Can We Talk Properly Now

"What's going on!?"

Chu Sheng opened his eyes. Lu Huaimin, who had arrived at some point, had lit another cigarette and showed no intention of getting out to check the situation.

However, a few people descended from the car behind them and were about to drive away the woman who had blocked the road.

"I'm not sure, but judging by the situation, she probably has some kind of grievance…"

"Grievance? Blocking the road to file a complaint? And you're not getting involved?"

"How can I get involved? We're from the Jingwu Bureau, not the Wind Chasing Hall. She's come to the wrong people."

The Jingwu Bureau was only responsible for cases involving martial artists at the Qi Sea Realm and above. Ordinary people, or martial artists at the Body Tempering Realm and Meridian Opening Realm, were not within their jurisdiction.

Seeing the woman's desperate state and the girl beside her looking helpless and even a little scared.

"Do you think they haven't tried the Wind Chasing Hall?"

Lu Huaimin shook his head. "Doesn't seem like it, but there's nothing we can do. The country has its laws, and we can't interfere with this case. Otherwise, if someone reports us, not only the investigators handling the case but even I could be disciplined."

At this moment, the mother and daughter were being escorted to the side of the road.

The woman still frantically lunged forward, her clothes rolling up to her abdomen in her struggle, but she was oblivious.

The girl, not yet ten years old, just stared blankly at the slowly rolling down car window.

She saw the young man sitting in the back of the car.

The young man's eyes were as sharp as knives, and the moment their gazes met, the girl felt a stinging sensation in her eyes.

Because of this, she turned her head away and didn't see the young man's sigh.

"It shouldn't be like this…"

"What? Does Young Master Chu want to help them? Don't you think it's like using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"

"To us, it's like a chicken, but how do you know it's not like a cow to them? Perhaps, it could even be an elephant…"

The commotion here attracted the attention of passersby.

They pointed and gestured towards the mother and daughter.

Some said they were desperate and had the wrong idea, seeking help from the Jingwu Bureau who wouldn't bother with ordinary people's cases.

Some said they were very smart, intentionally trying to escalate the situation and get on the trending topics.

Others said that this woman was their neighbor, and her son had committed suicide at school a month ago, reportedly due to too much stress…

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised because they hadn't heard anything about this matter.

Amidst the murmurs.

Lu Huaimin honked the horn.

"Alright, if you have a grievance, go report it. Go to the Jingwu Bureau to report it!"

After that, the car slowly drove away.

The woman stopped struggling, her eyes filled with despair.

It wasn't that she hadn't been to the Jingwu Bureau before; the security guards at the entrance hadn't even let her in.

After the people from the Jingwu Bureau drove away, a young girl helped the woman up.

"Auntie, let's go home. I told you long ago, the Jingwu Bureau wouldn't bother with us common folk…"

Yesterday, after hearing that the Jingwu Bureau had mobilized their entire staff and even the director had gone out of the city, the woman had come to this main road to wait.

The girl had advised her more than once, but the woman still held a sliver of hope.

Now, even that last sliver of hope was almost shattered.

"One last time, I'll try one last time. Just now, he told me to report it to the Jingwu Bureau. I've seen his photo, he's the director of the Jingwu Bureau."

The girl shook her head. "Auntie, he said that just to leave here quickly and avoid trouble… If you go there, it will be the same as before, they won't let you in."

"Let me try one last time…" the woman pleaded.

Whether it was to the girl or to heaven.

"Then I'll go with you. If it still doesn't work, just give up…"

Half an hour later.

The three of them arrived at the Jingwu Bureau.

Looking at the security guards at the entrance, the woman opened her mouth, but then froze in place.

She was afraid of hearing words like "you're not allowed in" from the security guard.

She feared their last sliver of hope would be completely extinguished.

Just as she mustered her courage and was about to speak.

She heard the security guard speak first, "Are you the ones who blocked our director's car and want to report a case?"

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Seeing the three frozen in place, the security guard asked again.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the security guard continued, "Go on in."

The three of them instantly widened their eyes.

As they walked into the Jingwu Bureau's lobby, the person who had driven them away that morning was waiting there.

"Follow me, I'll take you to see Young Master Chu."

"Young Master Chu?"

The young girl suddenly froze, her face filled with terror.

"No, we won't see him. We're not reporting the case anymore."

Then, she grabbed the woman and the girl and tried to leave.

The woman was confused, "Xiao Qiong, what's wrong?"

"Auntie, we can talk about it when we get back. Please, let's just go back quickly."

This left the person utterly bewildered.

What was going on, making Young Master Chu sound like some kind of monster.

He stepped forward and grabbed the young girl.

"It's too late. Since you've entered our Jingwu Bureau, whether you report the case or not is up to us now."

"Let's go, Young Master Chu has been waiting for you for a long time..."

Hearing this, the young girl was even more terrified, almost scared to death.

She looked like she was about to cry.

"Tell Chu Yunfei that we won't report the case anymore, is that okay?"

The person scratched his head.

"What Chu Yunfei? I don't know him. The person I'm taking you to see is Chu Sheng, Young Master Chu."

Afterward, the three were taken to a room.

Inside, only one young man was sitting.

The young man looked a bit listless, as if he hadn't rested well last night.

But his eyes were exceptionally sharp, like the tip of an ice-cold blade, sweeping over the three with a chilling scrutiny.

"Young Master Chu, we've brought them here."

Then, the person directly closed the door.

Seeing the three frozen in place, Chu Sheng lightly tapped the table, signaling them to sit down.

After the three were seated.

Chu Sheng finally spoke.

"Tell me, what case do you want to report?"

The woman and the young girl exchanged glances. They hadn't expected the person handling this case to be such a young man.

"Don't look at me like that. If I can't handle this case, then no one in the entire Jingwu Bureau, not a single one, will be able to help you."

"However, before you speak, I need to remind you of something."

"The Jingwu Bureau only handles cases involving cultivators at the Qi Sea Realm and above. This is a rule, and no one can break it, not even me."

"So, you must think carefully before you speak."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other again.

How could they not know this rule? But where would this case have a cultivator at the Qi Sea Realm?

The young girl saw that Chu Sheng was just a young man about her age, and his tone wasn't particularly authoritative.

Her courage grew significantly.

She puffed out her chest and said, "You talk a good game. If you really wanted to help us, why would you be so concerned about rules?"

"I think you're deliberately refusing to help—"

Before the young girl could finish her sentence, Chu Sheng slapped her, sending her flying back and crashing heavily against the wall.

With a dull thud, The guards outside the room immediately broke in.

Seeing the young girl curled up on the floor, spitting blood, He closed the door with a blank expression.

"Whew, you scared me. I thought we had an assassin..."

The girl struggled to get up, her face full of fear.

Chu Sheng spoke slowly, his voice indifferent, "Can we talk properly now?"
