Chapter 194: with translation of chapter title

The Law Enforcement Bureau.

The office.

Redwood bookshelves were displayed, exuding an air of refined elegance.

A bespectacled, refined gentleman sat at the desk, gazing at several youths in brand‑name clothing before him, and involuntarily revealed a hint of a bitter smile.

This case from No. 3 Middle School was submitted immediately.

Guo Chun sensed something was wrong right away.

The killer was Professor Qin's son, Qin Yu.

The person involved had some connection to the Sichuan Wu family.

The second young master of the Wu family was also involved.

This definitely involved a power struggle between two major forces; as a small bureau chief, I was caught in the middle, making it very difficult to handle.

"Chief Guo, my brother at No. 3 Middle School faced a mortal threat; Qin Yu, a fellow student, suddenly went berserk and tried to kill my brother. If not for two classmates, Yuqing, fighting to the death, my dear brother would likely have died on campus!"

"This is a heinous incident; it must be severely punished, and Qin Yu must be arrested."

A cold, icy light flickered deep in Wu Peng's eyes.

He never expected Qin Yu to be so fierce, actually striking directly at school; hearing the news, he almost burst out laughing.

Including Dian Qin, he couldn't help but be astonished, because… in Great Xia, as long as no one died and the education system was fine, nothing was considered a major issue.

But… Qin Yu didn't just kill someone; he did it on school grounds!

The impact of this was extremely heinous.

If the higher-ups learned of it, his image would likely plummet straight to the bottom.

Even if you were a Martial Saint‑level genius.

Even if you were a monstrous prodigy.

But… who would dare let a morally corrupt madman who kills at the drop of a hat grow up?

He might very well become a disaster.

Guo Chun's eyelid twitched—who doesn't know that Wu Chen is one of the seed talents of Sichuan Province today?

At only eighteen, he is already a second‑rank martial artist, capable of ranking among the top ten.

He is certainly capable of challenging the two top martial universities.

Yet you say Qin Yu had the intention to kill him?

Wouldn't he be killed on the spot then?

That's pure nonsense.

"Indeed, it is a heinous act: as a college student he attempted murder, and the No. 3 Middle School director and several teachers even tried to cover it up, while Qin Yu's classmate acted bravely in self‑defense, successfully reported the incident, and purged the bad element from No. 3 Middle School!"

"It ought to be publicized!"

Just then, several lawyers in upscale suits appeared at the office door, behind them two elderly men in Daoist robes, one wearing white, the other green.

Their expressions were solemn; they never expected the aristocratic families to dare act within school grounds.

Moreover, this time the impact will be huge; if it spreads to short‑video platforms, it will spark massive public opinion.

At that moment, the pupils of the few people beside Wu Peng shrank sharply, for according to the eldest son of the Dian family, as soon as Elder Yan entered Qin Yu's home, he would soon die a sudden death.

That morning they had even personally watched him enter the Longhu residential complex.

But now… why is he standing here unharmed?

Dian Qin had said their airborne virus could be neutralized only by a Martial Saint relying on his own strength; even a Grand Master would have only one path—sudden death.

Even if the four top divine physicians gathered together, they could not save him!

This left them bewildered, their hearts filled with dread.

Furthermore, judging by his appearance, he was standing on Qin Yu's side.

Could it be… that Divine Physician Yan discovered something?

"Surely it's them." Elder Yan, a figure of that stature, locked his mental power onto these young masters of the aristocratic families the moment he appeared.

Even his slightest movements betrayed a hint of panic.

And they had never met him before.

From this we can tell that these people knew something would happen to them today.

The anger in his heart surged upward.

In Great Xia over these decades, I have saved no fewer than eight thousand, perhaps even ten thousand people.

Plus their families' elders.

But now… they have been plotted against and ambushed by a few juniors.

His mind had already begun to scheme how to uncover the mastermind behind it.

That is the top priority.

At that moment, the two men beside Wu Peng also spoke up in succession, declaring their stance; now is not the time to think about Divine Physician Yan.

"It's merely a student squabble, yet Qin Yu struck down with lethal intent, disregarding the law."

"If a killer is not punished, isn't that trampling on societal law?"

As long as Qin Yu is done away with, everything can be resolved.

Even if several great clans join forces with a divine physician, they cannot stir up a wave.

Moreover, the other side may not even be aware.

They are respectively the Sichuan Yan clan and the Sichuan Chiang clan; this is a declaration of their position.

Both families can trace their lineage back to ancient times, making them true aristocratic houses.

Having survived the great calamity of the underground realms, they still stand firm in Great Xia.

In all of Sichuan Province, the truly influential families number no more than eight.

Now, exactly three of them are applying pressure.

Guo Chun broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and moreover, among the senior officials of the Sichuan Province's Ministry of Culture, someone subtly hinted not to suppress this matter, but to exaggerate it as much as possible.

"So much nonsense, this is evidence."

"Also, the injury report shows that the two brothers Yu Qing and Yu Xi made a move and injured those few people."

Xu Song directly took out a pile of documents, plus the video from the surveillance footage.

Seeing this, Guo Chun's heart jolted, his five viscera and six bowels displaced—chronic death……

What the hell, how is this any different from killing someone?

The key point is, this is actually just a dispute over the queue order for a qi and blood test?

"These scions of the great families are really arrogant, casually ordering the beating and killing of classmates, hehe……"

"People like this, even if they stay in Great Xia, are still a disaster."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

After reading it from start to finish, he even found himself favoring Qin Yu in his heart, and everything reported below turned out to be true.

This was what he had been torn about earlier.

He still doesn't have solid evidence proving it was Qin Yu, so he hasn't sent anyone to bring him back for interrogation.

After all……once inside the Law Enforcement Bureau, there are places he can't see, making problems likely to occur.

The Three Great Families have great influence in Sichuan.

If problems arise then, he will find it hard to avoid responsibility.

He personally greatly admires Professor Qin.

So even if pressured, he still firmly resists.

To avoid bringing him back to the Law Enforcement Bureau and causing an accident.

When he saw Qin Yu make a move, subduing the two in succession with instant kills, Guo Chun's heart couldn't help but be shocked.

"His strike is decisive, and the timing is just right—could this son of Professor Qin truly be a Martial Saint‑level genius?" Doubt rose in Guo Chun's mind.

Because he had previously gone through Qin Yu's resume once.

A month ago, his qi and blood were still hovering around one hundred.

Immediately, after organizing his thoughts, he spoke directly.

"Although the two brothers Yu Qing and Yu Xi are the new generation of martial artists and talents of No. 3 Middle School, now……they intend to strike first with lethal force; if Qin Yu does not intervene, not only will that plump classmate suffer, but those few who dare to resist will likely suffer chronic death."

"The evidence is solid; this case will directly enter the procedure. Student Qin Yu, for his righteous bravery, will receive a reward shortly."

"You don't need to worry, please trouble Divine Doctor Yan to make a trip."

He directly issued an order to evict.

He didn't want to hear any more nonsense.

He handled things impartially; even those above had nothing to say.

"There are still witnesses and victims outside; moreover……behind this lurks the shadow of the Wu Family's Second Young Master. I hope Director Guo will handle this fairly and justly."

"At just eighteen years old, he already learned to hire assassins to kill,"

"How is that possible? I didn't send a message to Wu Chen telling Principal Zhang to delete all surveillance footage of this generation, did I? Moreover……why are there even witness testimonies from the school?"

"Aren't they afraid of the Wu Family's retaliation?"

Wu Peng frowned tightly, wondering what was going on with the principal of No. 3 Middle School.

Did he not want their Wu Family's investment anymore?

There's a problem, a big problem!

First, Divine Doctor Yan didn't die, and now even No. 3 Middle School has had a change—you know……the Wu Family holds a thirty percent stake!

Putting it bluntly, as long as the Wu Family wants to replace the principal of No. 3 Middle School, Zhang Wen will be forced to step down within three days.

Wu Peng stopped thinking and spoke directly.

"Since Director Guo already has a way to handle this, we'll take our leave first."

"However, my younger brother didn't make a move; he was merely watching the excitement from the sidelines. This doesn't meet the conditions for detention, and you have no evidence to keep holding him."

"I apply for bail."

As his words fell, he directly left with the other two young masters.

First, let's get everything clear before speaking.

Seeing this, Guo Chun fell into deep thought; wanting to get the Wu Family's Second Young Master in trouble was indeed difficult, as none of the evidence here is related to him.

It's just a matter of having a few teachers move to take down Qin Yu.

But afterward……Qin Yu's side had a high‑level martial artist intervene, subduing them all.

But, you can't say he ordered the killing.

Insufficient evidence.

At that moment, Divine Doctor Yan, standing at the door, calmly said a sentence.

"Just because of a grudge from decades ago, you want to kill the son of a meritorious official."

"Does this……need evidence?"

"Qin Yu's future is beyond what we can imagine."

Having said all that needed to be said, Divine Doctor Yan directly led the people away.

His walking out was meant to send a signal.

Qin Shangwu is not present.

But……the Southern Mountain lineage will forever support Qin Yu!

If the noble clans aren't convinced, then let them clash.

His old bones haven't rusted yet.

Guo Chun hearing this, was tremendously shaken, yes…… Their fathers fight to the death on the front lines, yet you are manufacturing public opinion and setting traps to kill the sons of heroes!

Is this still human?

Just because their offspring have good talent?

Anger also rose in his heart.

He picked up the phone, about to dial, when the ringtone sounded.

On the screen, the word "Teacher" appeared.

Guo Chun's expression jolted, he hastily answered: "Teacher……"

"Guo Chun, have you taken leave of your senses?"

"Don't call me Teacher, I don't have a disciple like you!"

"The documents have all been sent to me, yet you haven't even decided on a charge? The noble clans have run rampant to this extent; if you dare to favor them, I'll take leave now, go to the Law Enforcement Bureau and beat you to death, and disown you as my disciple!"

"Besides, although there's no evidence now, that little brat of the Wu Family is not allowed bail, even if the Heavenly King himself came!"

"Those who aren't convinced, let them come to the West River Dungeon; I'll send them to meet the ferocious beasts!"

"Beep……"

The sound of battle continued on the other end; before Guo Chun could utter a word, the phone hung up.

A bitterness welled up involuntarily.

His own teacher had once been an instructor at the West River Martial Academy, over a hundred years old, a true powerhouse who survived the first wave of the Dungeon Catastrophe.

He still holds the position of Legion Commander; fearing that the Civil Bureau would cause trouble, he had planted many informants, and now this matter…… has already been passed along.

The key is, I myself was indeed preparing to do just that!

I just didn't get the chance.

He immediately dialed his subordinate's phone: "Wu Chen over there is not allowed bail, detain him for seven days."

On the other end of the line, astonishment: "Director Guo, there's no evidence now……"

"I don't need evidence; I just dislike him, detain him for seven days—if there's a problem, come find me!"

"Beep."

Guo Chun shouted in anger, hung up directly, and vented part of his fury.

He felt relieved in his heart.

Of course, he also prepared himself for suppression by the high-ranking nobles of the Civil Bureau.
