Handling

The flashing lights of fire trucks filled the area around Jinghu.

Although Jinghu was more than ten kilometers from the city center, due to the wealthy and influential owners of the nearby manor properties, the fire department arrived at the scene in less than half an hour.

By now, the fire had been basically extinguished.

At this moment, Chang Hong arrived at the scene with a gloomy expression.

Here, in addition to Ba Si, the Director of the Public Security Department, Councilor Yan Zheng, who happened to be vacationing nearby, also came forward to greet him.

"The Jin Family! The Jin Family! It's the Jin Family again! A bunch of good-for-nothings who do more harm than good!"

Chang Hong looked at the Jin Family Manor, which had been burned to ruins, with anger in his eyes: "They clearly don't have much ability themselves, offended a top Martial Master, didn't think about escaping Guang Province, and thought they could stay in Guang Province and fight that thug to the death just by hiring a security company. Do they even have brains!?"

What he was really angry about was not that Li ChunJun had gone on a killing spree, but why the Jin Family didn't die outside of Guang Province.

If it had been outside of Guang Province, he wouldn't have bothered to say a word even if the Jin Family had all died.

But dying in Guang Province was the responsibility of their local authorities!

This time, the Guangzhou City Local Council was likely to face turmoil.

He didn't know how much benefit he would have to give up in order to silence the mouths of those who came down from above to audit.

The only good news now was that the incident happened outside Guangzhou City, and Profound Moon Security was not a Guangzhou company, and all the corpses were burned in a fire afterward...

He could lower the number of deaths a bit.

Reporting eight would be fine.

Nine people would seem a bit deliberate.

Any more would reach double digits, and the numbers wouldn't look good.

Eight casualties was just right.

"In addition, Huang Shang from the Garrison Department... is also dead... This is really too presumptuous!"

A flash of anger crossed Chang Hong's eyes.

Originally, he had been thinking of having Jin Zhiya come forward so he could sit back and watch the tigers fight.

But Jin Zhiya simply didn't show up, and the matter escalated to the point where it had to be dealt with.

"Issue a notice, tomorrow... oh, tomorrow is a holiday, so the day after tomorrow. Hold a meeting the day after tomorrow morning to discuss how to capture this thug without alarming the military."

Chang Hong summoned his assistant to instruct.

"Yes."

The assistant quickly recorded it.

But his personal guard, Wang Yan, leaned forward: "Profound Moon Security has made such a big name for itself in Xuan Province, they are by no means weak. This time, in order to ensure the safety of Jin Guanghua and his group, Minister Lu Jing personally led the team, along with four or five Harmony Martial Masters and twenty Inner Strength Martial Artists. The lineup is extremely strong."

He lowered his voice: "That thug was able to defeat Xuan Moon Security and kill Jin Guanghua and his group. No matter what method he used, it is enough to prove his strength. Relying on the regular forces of the local authorities, it will be difficult to deal with this murderer."

Chang Hong frowned.

"If you don't want the military to come forward, perhaps you can seek help from the Garrison Residence."

Wang Yan suggested.

"No way!"

Chang Hong rejected it without hesitation.

The Garrison Residence is established in every city with a population of over one million, and is personally overseen by cultivators from the Red Sun Sword Sect.

They are only responsible for the triennial Spirit Root detection, as well as dealing with the infiltration of other sects and handling conflicts at the cultivator level.

Their status is respected and even above the local authorities.

"I'm not talking about the big shots in the Garrison Residence, but... their disciples."

Wang Yan said, "Their disciples might not mind helping to hunt down the murderer and earn some extra money."

"That won't work either!"

Chang Hong waved his hand, "If their disciples were good enough, they would have been sent to the Red Sun Sword Sect for further study. How high can the level of those who stay in the Garrison Residence be? If something goes wrong when hunting down that thug, wouldn't the responsibility fall on us?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Yan Zheng, who was walking over, "Besides... many councilors' personal bodyguards are Harmony Martial Masters."

Don't think that Sun Yongxing, who is at the peak of Inner Strength, can be given the title of one of the top ten folk experts, because Martial Artists at the Harmony Martial Master level basically don't circulate outside.

Once someone cultivates Inner and Outer Harmony, they will be hired by big figures.

In many cases, when an Inner Strength Martial Artist shows the potential for Inner and Outer Harmony, a big figure will immediately provide funding.

After he breaks through, he will naturally follow those big figures and serve them.

Sun Yongxing was actually like this.

Unfortunately, he entered the Jin Family, became lazy, and died under Li ChunJun's sword before entering the realm of Inner and Outer Harmony.

"Speaker, that thug is acting too rampantly, we must not let him continue to commit crimes!"

After Yan Zheng came forward, he said righteously.

"We will hold a meeting the day after tomorrow to discuss a solution."

Chang Hong said.

"We?"

Yan Zheng was stunned, and then said: "The Jin Family is about to be wiped out, doesn't that proud daughter of heaven really plan to come and take a look?"

"Who knows."

Chang Hong said lightly.

"Over the years, we have helped the Jin Family handle many matters, big and small, all for her sake. This Li ChunJun... even top Martial Masters can't do anything about him, he is extremely fierce, is she still waiting for us to deal with it?"

Yan Zheng's tone was a little dissatisfied.

"You mean, don't deal with it?"

Chang Hong looked at him, hinting at something.

"Of course not, it's just..."

"Then let's put it to a vote at the meeting the day after tomorrow, and consider whether to involve the military."

Chang Hong interrupted him, "So many people have died. No matter what, we have to do something."

"The military..."

Yan Zheng, including everyone in the local council, didn't want to deal with people from the military.

The Immortal Sect's stewards wouldn't take them seriously.

"There's no need to alarm the military, right?"

Yan Zheng said.

"Then at the meeting the day after tomorrow, you should think about how to capture this Century Thug, or how to deal with the audit and accountability from above."

As Chang Hong spoke, he gave him a meaningful look, "If I'm not mistaken, you've been acquiring a lot of assets under the Jin Corporation at extremely low prices recently."

"It's just normal business behavior. Isn't the Speaker's proposal to appoint Director Luo as the director of the Garrison Department the same?"

Yan Zheng smiled and said, "I need to prepare well for the meeting the day after tomorrow. Speaker, please excuse me."

Chang Hong watched him leave and snorted softly.

Wang Yan looked surprised, "This Mr. Yan..."

"Just making some small moves, but before the news from Jin Zhiya arrives, he will definitely continue to act insincerely."

Chang Hong said calmly.

Seeing that the Speaker knew that these councilors were like this, but still wanted to hold a meeting the day after tomorrow, he was a little puzzled, "Then your meeting..."

"Holding a meeting is one thing, whether a resolution can be passed is another."

Chang Hong said unhurriedly, "A major event, without anyone pushing it, it's normal to discuss it for two or three months... Two or three months... The Immortal Sect should have results by then."

Wang Yan understood the key to this matter instantly.

Push!

The key to this matter is whether someone is pushing it from behind!

If someone pushes it, based on what Li ChunJun has done, it will definitely be a shocking case. Not to mention the Garrison Department, the Public Security Department, and the Martial Arts world, the military and the Garrison Residence will personally take action!

It wouldn't be an exception to escalate to a higher level.

But if no one pushes it...

Li ChunJun was clearly seeking revenge on the Jin Family, but the power of this Century Thug has exceeded the response limit of many speakers and councilors.

As long as it doesn't concern them, they don't want to get into trouble.

Or rather...

They dare not provoke Li ChunJun, this thug.

His revenge on the Sword Tasting Hall, Liu Zhengcun, Mo Lei, and others has fully made people realize that this thug has completely gone mad and has no regard for any rules or laws.

Wang Yan could also understand.

Who wouldn't feel a chill when facing a top-tier Martial Master with no parents, no ties, no fears, and absolutely no bottom line?

They don't mind shouting slogans and stating their positions, but when it comes to actually fighting...

Who's going to do it?

Killing Li ChunJun brings no benefits.

But if they fail to kill him, they have to be prepared to pay the price!

And that price could very well be their lives!

The benefits and risks are completely disproportionate.

At this moment, he finally understood what his Speaker was really thinking.

As long as the fire doesn't burn them, they can just put on a show for the outsiders.

Like this meeting, it must be held, and they have to pretend that they are seriously concerned about the matter.

But with no one really pushing it forward, this meeting is destined to be fruitless.

Risking their lives to fight a desperate man?

Why?

Just because the Jin Family has a big reputation?

Unless Jin Zhiya can really become a formal disciple, or Li ChunJun goes completely mad, making all the high-level officials in Guangzhou City feel a personal threat, otherwise...

This matter will just fade away.

Rules!?

The biggest rule in this world is violence!

When violence reaches a certain level, the rules will give way!
