The Long Family of Dongyun Province!

What a colossal entity they were.

Although Xie Lian harbored doubts, he wasn't a gambler.

He despised gamblers even more.

Gamblers deserved no sympathy.

If he won, it would bring him no real benefit, merely allowing him to deal with this young man.

But if he lost, his situation would be dire.

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

Sun Ming, in particular, felt as if the sky itself was about to collapse.

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

"Bring me the person I want."

Subsequently, someone briefed Xie Lian on what Chu Sheng had just said.

Upon hearing that it concerned the individuals involved in Cui Hao's case, Xie Lian immediately invited Chu Sheng to his office for a chat.

After the three of them left, the investigators at Wind Chasing Hall erupted.

"Young Master Chu? Could it be the Chu family from the city?"

"Are you out of your mind? Does the Director need to fear them? This young man must have a significant background."

"How significant can it be? I heard the City Lord himself called about this case. How much more significant can it get than the City Lord?"

"That's... hard to say, but we'll know soon enough if he can take the people away."

Inside the Director's office.

Xie Lian decided to get straight to the point.

"Young Master Chu, to be frank, this case is rather complicated, and it even involves the City Lord..."

Chu Sheng's expression remained calm.

"Mm, and so? Are you trying to make me back down?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare..." Xie Lian waved his hands repeatedly. "If you must have them, then take them. It's just that I'm worried about the City Lord..."

"I'm only responsible for handling cases. If I offend anyone because of it, that's not my concern. However, someone will help me deal with it."

Chu Sheng spoke directly, his words laden with a clear threat.

After all, he had the Long Family's backing, and it was proving to be so useful. Why should he hide it? He might as well leverage it to the fullest.

If the City Lord intended to make a move on him because of this, he would have to consider Chu Sheng's background first, wouldn't he?

Hearing this, Xie Lian said nothing further. He simply made a phone call, asking for the three individuals to come over.

On their way, they were quite perplexed.

They didn't understand why the Director had summoned them.

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

However, the case had already been closed, and the body was gone, leaving no evidence whatsoever.

They weren't afraid of an investigation.

Compared to Shengze City, the Jingwu Bureau felt like an outsider, and it was even in opposition to the local influential families.

Upon seeing Chu Sheng and the other person, they showed no pleasant expressions.

"Director, why did you call us here?"

"The Jingwu Bureau wants to investigate Cui Hao's case and requires your cooperation."

"What!?"

The faces of the three changed.

The one in the lead looked at Chu Sheng and said, "Cui Hao's case has already been closed. Even if it hadn't been, it would be the responsibility of us Wind Chasing Hall. What does it have to do with you!?"

Chu Sheng let out a cold laugh.

"You'll know when you get to the Jingwu Bureau."

"We're not going! We have missions to attend to and cannot cooperate with you. If you want to investigate, do it yourselves!"

"Mm, I understand..."

Chu Sheng's super-intelligence informed him that it was time to utilize his super-strength.

He approached them with a smile, then suddenly raised his knee, channeling his power, and delivered a kick—

A crisp snap mingled with a muffled groan.

The man's right shinbone broke with a sound, and he immediately fell to his knees, wailing, "Aaaah!!!"

[Punished a dark operative who refused to cooperate]

[Justice Points +500]

"Perhaps Director Xie's words caused some misunderstanding. When we say 'cooperate,' we mean surrender obediently, not show off."

"You will go to the Jingwu Bureau, whether you want to or not."

Chu Sheng's kick instantly stunned the three of them.

The Jingwu Bureau directly beat people during investigations, and in the director's office of the Wind Chasing Hall, no less!

This showed a distinct lack of respect for Xie Lian.

But the crucial point was that Xie Lian showed no reaction whatsoever.

That was what truly terrified them.

Afterward, Chu Sheng looked at the remaining two.

"What about you two? Can you cooperate?"

"Yes... yes, yes..." The two nodded repeatedly.

The group of five left the Wind Chasing Hall, swaggering. The one at the back was still limping.

And the director himself saw them off!

This scene once again shocked all the agents in the Wind Chasing Hall.

"They actually took them away? What's this young man's background!!?"

"He looks like a high school student. How can the gap between people be so vast?"

"Some people are livestock their whole lives, while others are in Rome from the moment they act. I'm envious..."

Back at the Jingwu Bureau, the interrogation department got all the information Chu Sheng wanted from the three men in less than ten minutes.

While waiting.

Gao Qiang was surrounded, with people asking him what it felt like to go on missions with Chu Sheng.

To their surprise, they saw a look of lingering fear on the face of this usually bold man.

Since joining the Jingwu Bureau, Gao Qiang had faced life-threatening situations more than once.

But none of them compared to this.

If previous crises were like reaching a cliff's edge, this time it was like walking a tightrope on that cliff.

In the past, crises came to them; this time, they actively courted disaster.

The feeling was completely different!

What kind of place was the Wind Chasing Hall?

Chu Sheng dared to beat people there, and with such ferocity.

For anyone else, surviving the ordeal would have been questionable.

But he just walked out as if nothing had happened, with the director personally escorting him.

"It felt great, incredibly satisfying, and very secure."

"You guys can try it too. You won't regret it."

After receiving the confessions, Chu Sheng glanced at them.

As expected, the so-called suicide was pure nonsense.

Cui Hao had been beaten to death.

The cause of death was ruptured internal organs.

His body was covered in bruises, along with shoe prints and urine.

His teeth were all smashed, and his lower body had burst.

There was even a small amount of urine in his stomach.

And this was just the tip of the iceberg, according to the coroner.

Chu Sheng had always been inclined to assume the worst of people.

But Cui Hao's manner of death

still made his expression freeze.

He was reminded of school bullying cases he had seen in his past life.

Compared to the physical harm, The damage to the soul was as cruel as a thousand cuts.

Even until death, that person might never find peace.

But often in the end, the punishment for the perpetrator was light, and more often than not, there was no punishment at all, and it was simply over.

Was this fair? Was this justice?

No!

The moment he saw the report, Gao Qiang's face also turned ashen.

An eighteen-year-old youth, on the verge of his college entrance exams, in the prime of his life.

Yet he met such a humiliating end.

"This is fucking torture!"

"Mhm, I know."

"Mr. Chu, what do you plan to do?"

"Uphold the law and administer justice!"

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author; perhaps the title was just changed!
