Chapter 95: I Love to Eat Them

Chen Ling finished patrolling the entire Frost Street, and he already had dozens of Plastic Bags in his hands. He walked on the road holding them in both hands, as if carrying two giant weights.

Chen Ling let out a long sigh.

So many chicken hearts and pig hearts, even if he stir-fried them every meal, he wouldn't be able to finish them in a few months... Moreover, eating like this every day, who wouldn't suffer from internal heat?

He couldn't finish eating them, but it would be a pity to throw them away. Helpless, Chen Ling could only carry them all back.

"In this weather... they should be able to be preserved a bit longer."

Just as he was about to turn around and head home, a burst of clamor suddenly came from the street ahead.

That was the intersection of Frost Street and the neighboring street, a moderately sized vegetable market. Chen Ling usually came here frequently as well and was considered a regular customer.

After hesitating for a moment, he still walked straight towards the vegetable market.

Strictly speaking, this vegetable market was also his jurisdiction. If something happened inside, he also had to go and take a look... Moreover, with just a bunch of hearts, he still had to buy some side dishes to stir-fry with. Since he was already here, he might as well buy more to take back.

Next to the stall, a middle-aged woman had fallen among a pile of potatoes and cabbages. There was a footprint on her chest, as if she had been forcefully kicked to the ground.

"Two Officers... The money for this month, wasn't it, hasn't it already been paid?"

She looked at the two in terror, her face full of incomprehension.

"Who did you pay it to?" Brother Guo spoke calmly.

"...To that Officer Xiao Zuo."

"You paid it to him, what does it have to do with me?" Brother Guo kicked aside the vegetable basket next to him, slowly crouched down in front of her, and spoke unhurriedly,

"Now this vegetable market is my jurisdiction... Do you understand?"

Looking at Brother Guo's sinister eyes, The Mother immediately began to tremble. "I... I really don't have any money left in the shop. Officer, could you, give me a few days' grace..."

Hearing this sentence, Brother Guo stood up directly, not bothering to give her another glance, but waved his hand to another Law Enforcer beside him.

"I suspect there are drugs hidden in this shop, search it for me."

"Yes."

That Law Enforcer immediately walked into the shop and quickly began rummaging around. Cabinets, boxes, and even vegetable baskets were overturned all over the floor. Under his brutal search, the entire shop was completely reduced to a mess.

"Officer, Officer... There really is nothing in my shop..." Seeing this scene, The Mother stumbled up from the ground and spoke with some heartache.

"This Officer, this place of ours is considered Officer Chen's jurisdiction... Isn't it a bit bad for you to do this?"

The other pedestrians who came to the vegetable market, as well as the original vendors here, were currently hiding to the side, cowering. Only an elderly man stepped forward, attempting to persuade the two to stop.

"Officer Chen? Which Officer Chen?" Brother Guo spoke leisurely. "I haven't heard of him."

"It's Officer Chen Ling..."

"That's me."

A voice suddenly came from the side. Chen Ling, carrying Plastic Bags in both hands, walked over calmly.

Seeing Chen Ling arrive, the crowd immediately made way. That figure walked through the crowd straight towards Brother Guo, whose eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered, saying:

"What Officer Chen Ling, just a newly Promoted Law Enforcer..."

Bang!!

Before Brother Guo's words fell, an afterimage arrived in front of him instantly. Immediately after, a massive force slammed into his chest, and his entire person was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string!

The surrounding onlookers were simultaneously stunned. They hadn't even seen clearly what happened at all, and Chen Ling had appeared in Brother Guo's original position.

"Brother Guo?!" The other Law Enforcer exclaimed.

Brother Guo continuously knocked over two stalls before the force dissipated. His entire person lay on the spot like a pile of mud, painful groans escaping his throat.

Without a word, Chen Ling put down the Plastic Bags, casually pulled out a sharp Bone-Stripping Knife from the meat shop, and walked up to Brother Guo.

"You... y-you... what do you want to do??"

Brother Guo's eyes widened. He thought Chen Ling had gone mad!

The reason he came to cause such a scene was to force Chen Ling into a conflict with them. He was even worried Chen Ling wouldn't take the bait, and had designed several methods to enrage him... But he absolutely didn't expect that Chen Ling wouldn't even say a word upon appearing and would kick him flying over ten meters with one foot!

"Do what?" Chen Ling spoke calmly. "Weren't you looking for death? I'll grant your wish."

The Bone-Stripping Knife in his hand abruptly stabbed down!

The sharp tip of the knife pierced through Brother Guo's shoulder blade. A burst of agonizing howling instantly resounded through the vegetable market, its tragic intensity making the surrounding onlookers feel a chill in their hearts!

The Law Enforcer on the side was dumbfounded.

From the moment Chen Ling appeared until now, he had only done two things in total... kicked flying, stabbed with a knife. Not a single extra word was said, his movements crisp and decisive. Before everyone could even react, he had already plunged a knife into Brother Guo's shoulder.

"Since when did Frost Street become your territory?" Chen Ling pulled out the Bone-Stripping Knife expressionlessly, and scarlet blood rapidly spread from the hole.

"Chen Ling!! You're looking for death!! Just wait to be... Ahhhhh!!"

Brother Guo had only spoken halfway when Chen Ling plunged the knife into his lower abdomen again, the pain causing him to howl again on the spot.

"Keep talking." Chen Ling's voice didn't have the slightest emotional fluctuation. "The cross-section of a Bone-Stripping Knife is very small. Even if stabbed, it's not that easy to cause massive blood loss... Provided I avoid the vitals, guess how many times I can stab you at most?"

"Madman... You're a mad... Ahhhhh!!"

"Stop."

A voice came from behind.

At the entrance of the vegetable market, Han Meng, in a windbreaker, walked over with a dark face. Several Law Enforcers followed behind him, and one of them was Xiao Zuo who had just left.

Seeing Brother Guo lying in a pool of blood on the ground, deep shock surfaced in Xiao Zuo's eyes!

"Commander-in-Chief Han Meng is here!"

Hearing someone in the crowd shout this sentence, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked down at Brother Guo, whose face was pale from the pain, and slowly stood up from him.

"Can someone explain to me what happened?" Han Meng's deep voice rang out.

"Commander-in-Chief Han Meng!" The Law Enforcer on the side immediately spoke. "This Chen Ling intimidated the residents in the jurisdiction and amassed wealth wildly. Brother Guo merely said one sentence to him and was stabbed on the spot..."

Han Meng raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Chen Ling somewhat strange.

"Intimidating residents... wildly amassing wealth?"

"It's true!" Xiao Zuo immediately echoed. "I saw it too. The bags on the ground are all filled with evidence!"

Chen Ling's expression instantly became subtle.

The spectating Frost Street residents were stunned and couldn't help but whisper...

Han Meng and Chen Ling exchanged a glance. The former paused for a moment and spoke slowly:

"Chen Ling, open the bags."

"..." Chen Ling finally knew what idea these Law Enforcers were cooking up. He couldn't help but ask back, "Are you sure?"

"Open them."

"...Fine."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Ling bent down and slowly tore open the bulging Plastic Bags all over the ground...

The next moment, dense clusters of chicken hearts, duck hearts, and pig hearts were exposed to the air.

【Audience Expectation Value +7】!

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a bizarre dead silence.

Xiao Zuo on the side, and Brother Guo who gritted his teeth to stand up, were instantly stunned upon seeing this scene.

"..." The corners of Han Meng's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at Chen Ling, whose face was full of innocence, and couldn't help asking, "So many hearts are..."

Chen Ling pondered for a moment, bit the bullet, and replied,

"I love to eat them."
