Wind Chasing Hall lobby.
"Now this is rare. People from the Jingwu Bureau actually came to Wind Chasing Hall to investigate a case. It was simply unheard of."
"Exactly. I even suspect they're impostors."
"Look at the one on the right. I don't even know if he's twenty yet. Don't you have to graduate from a martial university and have five years of experience at Wind Chasing Hall before you can join the Jingwu Bureau? How could someone so young be there?"
Listening to the discussions around him, Gao Qiang felt puzzled.
He had thought Chu Sheng had already pulled some strings, yet they had been waiting for quite a while now.
It was one thing for the director not to show himself,
But why was there not even anyone to receive them?
Just then, Sun Ming returned.
"My apologies, you two. Our director said that your Jingwu Bureau and our Wind Chasing Hall belong to different systems.
"If you wish to investigate a case here, your director must first notify the city lord. Only with the city lord's special approval can we cooperate with you."
At those words, the Wind Chasing Hall agents around them all wore expressions of having known it all along.
They had long guessed this would be the outcome.
If the visitor had been a Gold Patrolman, or even a Silver Patrolman, the director might have given them some face.
But they were merely two Bronze Patrols.
After speaking, Sun Ming made a gesture to see them out.
Yet Chu Sheng showed no intention of leaving.
"I think you seem to have misunderstood something..."
"When did I say I came here to investigate a case?"
Sun Ming froze. "What do you mean? Didn't you say just now that you came because of a case?"
Chu Sheng nodded.
"That's right, but what I meant was that we came here to arrest people!"
"The officer in charge of Cui Hao's suicide case, the coroner, and the staff member who 'accidentally' sent the body off to be cremated."
"Those three people are coming back to the Jingwu Bureau with us!"
At those words, the entire Wind Chasing Hall lobby fell silent in an instant.
Every agent stared at Chu Sheng, dumbfounded.
Fine, saying you came here to investigate a case was one thing.
Arrest people? What the hell were you thinking!?
What right did you have to come to Wind Chasing Hall and arrest people?
After a brief moment of shock, Sun Ming smiled.
"Arrest people... sure. Go back and find your director first, then have him notify the city lord."
After saying that, he stood ramrod straight in front of Chu Sheng.
As Xie Lian's trusted confidant, he knew some inside details about Cui Hao's suicide case.
They absolutely could not be allowed to investigate it,
And as for arresting people!?
That was even more out of the question.
Seeing how young Chu Sheng was, Sun Ming immediately formed an idea.
The curve at the corner of his mouth rose again.
"Or you can try forcing your way in, if you dare..."
This kid was still a teenager. His temper surely could not be that steady.
As long as he could provoke him into making a move,
Then things would blow up.
By then, even the Jingwu Bureau's director would have to personally step in to protect them.
Would the Jingwu Bureau still investigate Cui Hao's case then?
At that thought, the smile on Sun Ming's face grew increasingly smug.
He would solve a problem for the director, and the benefits surely would not be lacking.
Gao Qiang said from the side, "Young Master Chu, let's go back first and find the director..."
Chu Sheng shook his head and looked straight at Sun Ming.
"So, you intend to obstruct official business?"
"I am now issuing you your first warning. The second time, I will have no choice but to use force."
As he spoke, Chu Sheng fully unleashed the aura of the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm.
The agents all froze where they stood as though someone had seized them by the throat, breathing heavily.
The strongest among them was only at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm.
Even that already made him a veteran agent.
The newer agents were only at the seventh or eighth level of the Meridian Opening Realm.
The sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm was absolute suppression.
Most importantly, he was only a teenager!!!
He did not even look twenty. How could he possess cultivation at the sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm!?
Sun Ming still looked calm and unruffled.
"Fine, skip straight to the second warning."
"I'd like to see whether your director can protect you if you dare make a move here..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Sheng moved.
Terrifying force exploded outward. With one punch, the air instantly detonated like thunder.
Boom—
The instant Sun Ming's pupils contracted, his entire body flew backward like a cannonball leaving its barrel, smashing heavily into the counter behind him.
The counter exploded with a crash, wood chips and shattered glass spraying everywhere.
Amid the thunderous blast of air, the crisp sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.
After crashing through several counters,
Sun Ming's body twisted at an unnatural angle, and even drawing breath became extremely difficult for him.
"..."
The air was deathly silent.
Not only were the Wind Chasing Hall agents stunned, even Gao Qiang, famous for his boldness, was rooted to the spot in fright.
It was not as though he had never considered that Chu Sheng might make a move.
A young master backed by the Long Family being a little arrogant and tyrannical was perfectly normal.
But even in his dreams, he had never imagined that Chu Sheng would come out swinging with lethal force.
This was Wind Chasing Hall! A government department!
They were not criminals! They were Wind Chasing Hall agents!
Sun Ming lay sprawled on the floor, howling as he coughed up blood without end.
When he saw Chu Sheng approaching, he instinctively curled up and kept inching backward.
Chu Sheng gave a scornful laugh.
"See? The moment I actually made a move, you got unhappy again."
"Will you keep showing off next time?"

The watching agents finally came to their senses and swarmed toward Chu Sheng.
Yet angry as they were, they had not been blinded by rage.
The sixth level of the Qi Sea Realm was not something they could handle.
But this teenager had actually dared to attack someone in Wind Chasing Hall. No matter what, they could not let him walk out standing.
"You're dead! Our director will never forgive you!"
"You dare beat someone in Wind Chasing Hall? Kid, do you know how serious the consequences are?"
"No matter what background you have, no one can save you this time!"
Amid the clamor, Director Xie Lian came downstairs.
The commotion just now had startled even him.
Seeing so many people gathered here, Xie Lian asked in a deep voice, "What happened!?"
"Director, this kid caused trouble in our Wind Chasing Hall and nearly beat Sun Ming to death with one punch!"
"What!?"
Xie Lian's aura suddenly surged, and only then did he see Sun Ming curled up on the ground.
"Bold indeed! Do you really think our Wind Chasing Hall is so easy to bully!"
When he walked closer, Xie Lian was shocked by Chu Sheng's youth.
Compared to the agents under him,
He knew better than anyone how strict the higher-ups' oversight of the Jingwu Bureau was.
This boy absolutely could not have graduated from a martial university.
So, he had entered the Jingwu Bureau through the back door!?
His urge to act was temporarily suppressed as well.
Forcing down his anger, Xie Lian spoke.
"Kid, I need an explanation from you."
"Can't be bothered to explain. You're not worthy of hearing it. Within three minutes, hand over the people I want, or you may as well stop being director of this Wind Chasing Hall!"
!!!
Xie Lian had nearly failed to restrain himself from attacking midway through, but after hearing Chu Sheng's final sentence, he was directly frightened senseless.
"Just who are you!?"
Chu Sheng said nothing, merely glancing at Gao Qiang.
Understanding at once, Gao Qiang leaned close to Xie Lian's ear and quietly explained Chu Sheng's "identity."
Xie Lian's expression shifted from anger to astonishment, and by the end, cold sweat had even broken out on his forehead.
"Director, avenge me..."
Sun Ming was helped to his feet and said resentfully.
The next moment.
Slap—
Xie Lian struck him across the face.
"Impudent!!!"
"It is your honor that Young Master Chu hit you!"
"You still want revenge!? Why don't you try ascending to heaven??"
