This Is Fucking Torture

Dongyun Province's Long Family!

What kind of colossal entity was that?

Although Xie Lian harbored doubts about it, he was no gambler.

He despised gamblers even more.

Gambling dogs deserved no sympathy.

If he won the bet, there was nothing much in it for him—at most, he could deal with this young man.

But if he lost, he would be finished.

Hearing Xie Lian's words, everyone around them widened their eyes.

Sun Ming in particular felt as though the sky was about to collapse.

Chu Sheng chuckled. "Director Xie, I didn't come here to watch you discipline your subordinates."

"Go bring me the people I want."

Afterward, someone explained to Xie Lian what Chu Sheng had just said.

When he heard that Chu Sheng wanted the people involved in Cui Hao's case,

Xie Lian immediately invited Chu Sheng into his office for a discussion.

After the three left, the Wind Chasing Hall investigators exploded into uproar.

"Young Master Chu? Could he be from that Chu Family in the city?"

"Are you sick in the head? Would the director need to fear them? This young man's background must be enormous."

"How enormous could it be? I heard even the City Lord personally called about this case. Could anyone be bigger than the City Lord?"

"Well... hard to say. We'll find out whether he can take them away later."

Inside the director's office.

Xie Lian chose to get straight to the point.

"Young Master Chu, I'll be honest with you. This case is rather complicated, and the City Lord is involved behind it..."

Chu Sheng's expression remained calm.

"Mm, so? Are you telling me to retreat in the face of difficulty?"

"No, I wouldn't dare..." Xie Lian waved his hands repeatedly. "If you insist on taking them, then take them. I'm just worried about the City Lord's side..."

"I'm only responsible for handling the case. If that offends anyone, that's none of my concern. Besides, someone will handle it for me."

Chu Sheng spoke bluntly, his words brimming with threat.

Since he had the Long Family's tiger skin to drape over himself, and it worked so well, why hide it away? He might as well make the most of it.

If the City Lord wanted to move against him over this, he would have to weigh Chu Sheng's background first, wouldn't he?

Hearing this, Xie Lian said nothing further. He merely made a call and had those three people brought over.

On their way there, they were thoroughly puzzled.

They did not understand why the director had summoned them.

The only thing that could connect all three of them was Cui Hao's case from a month ago.

But that case had long since been closed, and even the body was gone. There was no evidence whatsoever.

They were not afraid of an investigation at all.

Compared to Shengze City, the Jingwu Bureau was like an outsider, and it stood in opposition to the local Noble Clans.

When they saw Chu Sheng and the other man, they showed no friendliness.

"Director, why did you call us here?"

"The Jingwu Bureau wants to investigate Cui Hao's case. They need the three of you to cooperate."

"Huh!?"

The three men's expressions changed.

The leader looked at Chu Sheng. "Cui Hao's case has already been closed. And even if it weren't, it would still be handled by our Wind Chasing Hall. What does it have to do with you!?"

Chu Sheng gave a cold laugh.

"You'll find out once you get to the Jingwu Bureau."

"Not going! We still have a mission to carry out, so we can't cooperate with you. If you want to investigate, investigate it yourselves!"

"Mm, I understand..."

Chu Sheng's super-intelligence told him that it was time to use super-strength again.

With a smile on his lips, he slowly closed in.

Then he suddenly lifted his knee, drove his force forward, and kicked—

A sharp crack burst out alongside a muffled groan.

The man's right tibia snapped on impact. He instantly collapsed to his knees, letting out a wail from his throat. "Aaaahhh!!!"

"Perhaps Director Xie's words gave you some misunderstanding. When we say 'cooperate,' we mean you obediently surrender yourselves, not that you play tricks."

"You're going to the Jingwu Bureau whether you want to or not."

Chu Sheng's kick scared the wits out of all three men.

The Jingwu Bureau handled cases by directly beating people—and they were fucking beating people inside the Wind Chasing Hall director's office!

That was more than a little disrespectful toward Xie Lian.

But the key was that Xie Lian did not react in the slightest.

That was what truly terrified them.

Then Chu Sheng looked at the remaining two.

"What about you? Can you cooperate?"

"Yes... yes, we can..." The two nodded frantically.

The group of five left Wind Chasing Hall in grand fashion. The man at the rear still limped along.

And the director personally saw them off!

This scene once again stunned all the Wind Chasing Hall investigators.

"He really took them away? Just what background does this young man have!!?"

"He looks like a high school student. Why is the gap between people so huge?"

"Some people are oxen and horses their whole lives, while others are born already standing in Rome. I'm so jealous..."

After returning to the Jingwu Bureau, the interrogation department got every piece of information Chu Sheng wanted out of the three men in less than ten minutes.

While waiting.

Gao Qiang was surrounded by people asking what it felt like to go on a mission with Chu Sheng.

To their surprise, they saw lingering fear on the face of this man who had always been bold.

Since joining the Jingwu Bureau, Gao Qiang had experienced more than one life-and-death crisis.

But none of them compared to this one.

If the previous crises were like climbing to the edge of a cliff, then this one was like walking a tightrope over that cliff.

Before, danger had come to them on its own. This time, they had actively drawn danger in.

The feeling was completely different!

What kind of place was Wind Chasing Hall?

Yet Chu Sheng had dared to hit someone there, and he had struck so ruthlessly.

If it had been anyone else, whether they could have walked out alive would have been another question entirely.

Yet he had walked out in such grand fashion, and their director had personally escorted him out.

"It felt great. Especially satisfying, especially safe."

"You can try it too. Guaranteed no regrets."

After Chu Sheng received the confessions, he glanced through them.

Sure enough, the so-called suicide claim was nothing but utter nonsense.

Cui Hao had been beaten to death alive.

His cause of death was ruptured internal organs.

Not only had his body been covered in bruises, it also bore shoeprints and urine.

All his teeth had been smashed out, and his lower body had burst apart.

There had even been a small amount of urine in his stomach.

And that was merely the tip of the iceberg described by the medical examiner.

Chu Sheng had never been stingy about judging human hearts by the greatest possible evil.

But Cui Hao's manner of death

still made his expression turn cold.

He thought of the campus bullying cases he had seen in his previous life.

Compared to the damage done to the flesh,

the damage inflicted upon the soul was simply as cruel as death by a thousand cuts.

Even at the moment of death, that person might never have been able to let go.

Yet more often than not, in the end,

the perpetrators received only light punishment. More often, they received no punishment at all, and the matter simply faded away.

Was that fair? Was that justice?

No!

The instant Gao Qiang saw the report,

his face turned ashen with fury as well.

An eighteen-year-old boy, about to take the National College Entrance Examination, at an age blooming like a flower.

Yet he had met such a humiliating death.

"This is fucking torture!"

"Mm, I know."

"Young Master Chu, what do you plan to do?"

"Enforce the law impartially and uphold justice!"
