Leaders? You Think I Give a Damn? You're Exactly the Kind of Leader I Beat!

Outside the Lungmen Law Enforcement Case Handling Center, a Guard Department officer in a white uniform pressed the fingerprint lock. As the door opened, he walked inside.

When Director Wang called, Chief Gao of the Legal Affairs Section had taken out his phone, intending to ask the officers assisting the Special Operations Group with this case about the situation. While he hoped to earn Director Wang's favor and rise to a higher position, that did not mean he needed to put himself in a dangerous situation.

As the head of the Legal Affairs Section, he was naturally intimately familiar with Lungmen Law. Precisely because of that, he understood just how risky bail could be, especially in a case with such far-reaching implications.

He wanted to curry favor with Director Wang, but that did not mean he would gamble with his own future!

"Isn't this Chief Gao from the Legal Affairs Section? What brings you to the Case Handling Center?"

Upon seeing this "white shirt," Roy asked.

Roy was no stranger to people from the Legal Affairs Section. After all, when handling cases in his previous world, he had always worried whether his paperwork was properly worded, whether there were any typos, and whether the relevant laws had been cited correctly. The ones responsible for reviewing those things were the Rule of Law Brigade.

Every investigating officer worried whether their cases could pass the scrutiny of those Rule of Law people who loved picking bones out of eggs. Once a case was sent back, it practically meant going through everything all over again. After all, the Rule of Law Brigade would not tell you exactly what had gone wrong.

So when he reviewed the Guard Department archives, the first files he looked at were those related to the Legal Affairs Section.

"You must be Roy, the one who received an exceptional promotion. You are already a Senior Inspector at such a young age. Truly a promising young man."

"You flatter me, Chief Gao. How could I possibly compare to you?"

As he said this, Roy put on a fawning expression.

He roughly understood why Chief Gao had come here. However, he also knew that this head of the Legal Affairs Section was merely someone's pawn. He had come here for these mafia members—or rather... for one of them.

As for who it was...

In any case, it would not be the ordinary members. Whether to the mafia's upper echelon or the people operating behind the scenes, these low-level members were nothing more than disposable cannon fodder.

As long as they paid enough, they could find as much cannon fodder as they wanted.

"Hahaha..."

"Roy, weren't you involved in the interrogation?"

Perhaps Roy's behavior had lowered the Legal Affairs Section chief's guard somewhat, or perhaps Roy's words had pleased this official-addicted chief.

At that moment, he began asking what he wanted to know.

"Since I am a party involved, I did not participate in the questioning."

"Is that so..."

He did not ask directly, and Roy did not answer directly either.

Chief Gao was not familiar with Roy yet, and he wanted to use his words to offer the rookie a little guidance so that he would know better. Roy, meanwhile, wanted to see what this chief was really after.

As for worrying that offending this chief might cause unnecessary trouble?

If Roy worried about that, then he would not be Roy. If he had wanted to curry favor with those higher-ups, he would have accepted the money the moment that man had come to him with it!

He had always considered himself a Party member, a people's police officer. Even in this other world, that had not changed.

Since he was a people's police officer and a Party member, then he could not encourage such corrupt practices!

"Let me ask you something. Do you know which questioning room their ringleader is in, and who is questioning him?"

Upon hearing that, Roy knew the real show had begun.

Without almost any hesitation, Roy replied:

"Wouldn't you know that once the questioning is over, Chief Gao? Why come ask a little officer like me?"

"I heard you were attacked by these despicable bastards, brother. I wanted to see what kind of person this fellow is, so I can make sure his punishment is increased during sentencing."

Hearing that, Roy laughed even harder inside. Did this guy take everyone else for fools?

Someone else might have immediately handed this information over to such a leader, but Roy was different!

"Sorry, I do not need that kind of help. If you truly need this information or wish to meet that criminal, Chief Gao, please report it to Chen Sir of the Special Operations Group."

"Roy, don't be so ungrateful!"

Chief Gao's suddenly raised voice echoed through the public area. Clearly, he intended to use it to intimidate Roy.

This tactic had worked well before. After all, he was a Superintendent. Though he only occupied the middle ranks of the Guard Department hierarchy, there were plenty of people beneath him!

However, he had never expected to run into a hotheaded rookie like Roy. He had seen this sort of situation plenty of times!

"What? Chief Gao, are you planning to force your way in?!"

Roy had already assumed a guarded stance. If Chief Gao made a move, Roy would subdue him in an instant.

He trusted his own abilities. Compared with someone like this who had sat in an office for so long, he, a former special police officer who had spent years stationed in border regions, was far stronger!

"What if I force my way in?"

"Then I will subdue you!"

For a moment, this chief was actually intimidated by Roy's bearing. However, that feeling lasted only an instant.

Chief Gao had not expected this rookie, still on probation, to dare speak to him like that. He intended to make the rookie understand his place!

In almost an instant, Chief Gao struck first. He was extremely confident in this punch.

His Originium Art enhanced his body, and he was also the Legal Affairs Section's fighting champion. How could a mere rookie possibly be his match?

With that thought in mind, Chief Gao threw his punch—then, almost instantly, Roy knocked him to the ground!

"Resorting to a sneak attack? Is this what a leader does?"

"What a joke."

"Roy, was it? You dared attack your superior? You're in serious trouble now!"

Hearing his voice, Roy instead smiled faintly.

Trouble?

Trouble was what he feared least!

"People like you are only good at talking big. You're just the head of the Legal Affairs Section—why are you sticking a scallion up your pig nose and pretending to be an elephant?!"

At that moment, the doors to the Law Enforcement Case Handling Center opened again. Swire walked in carrying breakfast, and when she saw this scene, she froze.

"What are you two doing?!"
