Boom!
Those words hit harder than anything said before them!
Hou Liangbing froze.
Young fellow?
Not qualified to investigate him?
He almost laughed in fury.
He was the deputy chief of Bureau 7, a person of standing even in Longdu, yet this old bastard had reduced him to a "young fellow"?
"You old bastard, are you fucking kidding me?"
Hou Liangbing dropped all pretense. Pointing at his own nose, he roared, "Take a good look! I'm the deputy chief of Bureau 7!"
"Bureau 7! Do you understand?!"
"If I decide to investigate, forget you-I can dig up every last thing about eighteen generations of your ancestors!"

Was he making a fool of him?!
"You... you old bastard! How dare you mock me!"
Shaking with rage, Hou Liangbing pointed at Elder Xu and roared each word: **"Don't think I won't lay
