Chapter 30: I just like to wipe out the roots

Chen Guotai and Zhao Hongfei walked unsteadily along Xiafei Road, the water bowls on their heads swaying gently, yet they dared not spill a drop.

"I... I am a useless old good-for-nothing."; Chen Guotai shouted, his voice trembling.

"I am a useless old good-for-nothing."; Zhao Hongfei also shouted, the urine stain on his pants still wet, making walking especially uncomfortable.

Lin Yu followed behind them, holding that terrifying shotgun in his hands. Two special forces members stood one on the left, one on the right, glaring at them tigerishly.

The pedestrians on Xiafei Road gathered more and more. On this most prosperous street of Shen City, an unbelievable scene was unfolding: two dignified Action Bureau directors, parading through the streets with water bowls on their heads as a public display!

"Isn't that Director Chen and Director Zhao?";

"Good heavens, what are they doing…";

"Quick, look at their pants, could it be…";

"Shh, don't speak, that's the newly arrived Director Lin of the Fourth Bureau!";

Whispers rose continuously, passersby pointed and gossiped, yet none dared to get too close.

Chen Guotai felt his face burning with pain. He had mingled in Shen City for over twenty years, having seen all kinds of storms, yet today he had to suffer such humiliation on his own turf!

"Lin Yu, I will not share the same sky with you!"; he cursed bitterly in his heart, but thinking of Old Sun's fate, he couldn't help but shudder.

Zhao Hongfei felt even worse. Not only did he have to endure this humiliation, he also had to walk down the street with urine-soaked pants. Those pointing gazes were more painful than knives.

"This madman, this demon!"; he gritted his teeth, "If I had known he was this ruthless, I wouldn't have come even if beaten to death!";

But now regret came too late. They could only keep walking forward, shouting that phrase that made them feel utterly humiliated with each step.

The water bowls swayed on their heads, their hearts trembling as well. They feared that if they were even slightly careless and spilled the water, they would become the second Sun Zhiyuan.

This journey was extraordinarily difficult. Each step felt like treading on a blade's edge, each shout like cutting into their hearts.

Yet they dared not stop, nor resist. Because the young man's eyes behind them were cold as ice, harsh as a blade. They knew this newly appointed director truly dared to kill, and wouldn't blink an eye.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger, the news spreading rapidly. Soon the whole of Shen City would know what kind of ruthless figure the new director of the Fourth Bureau was!

This was exactly the effect Lin Yu wanted. By establishing his authority this time, he would make everyone understand what kind of ruthless figure the Fourth Bureau was!

The two finally finished that stretch of road which felt to them as long as ten thousand years, returning to the Fourth Bureau compound.

Their legs had gone soft as noodles; if not for fear of death, they would have collapsed long ago.

Lin Yu paced forward, carefully examining the water in their bowls.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!";

Before Chen Guotai could react, he was hit with three resounding slaps. He staggered backward, blood beginning to seep from the corner of his mouth.

"Pa! Pa! Pa!";

Zhao Hongfei also took three heavy blows, which made him see stars and his nose bleed profusely.

They covered their swollen faces, yet dared not utter a single cry of pain. They knew that if they dared to say even half a "no," they would be greeted by the shotgun.

"Get lost."; Lin Yu said indifferently.

Chen Guotai and Zhao Hongfei, as if granted a pardon, were about to flee for their lives.

"By the way, Zhou Wei,"; Lin Yu suddenly said, his tone casual, "Who else is left in Old Sun's family?";

Zhou Wei immediately replied: "Director Sun has one wife, two sons, and one daughter. The eldest son runs a foreign firm in the French Concession, the second son serves in the Security Command Headquarters, and the daughter just got married last year…"

"Oh?"; Lin Yu chuckled lightly, "I'm the sort who likes to handle things cleanly and thoroughly, hating to leave any future trouble. What do you think, should we…";

He deliberately left it unfinished, but the meaning was already obvious enough.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guotai and Zhao Hongfei felt the world spin, nearly fainting on the spot. This was nothing short of a devil! Not only does he kill at word, he also wants to exterminate the roots, leaving no family member untouched!

The vengeful thought in their hearts instantly vanished. What a joke—who would dare provoke such a killing star? That's practically seeking death!

"Director… Director Lin…"; Chen Guotai trembled as he said, "We won't dare again from now on…»;

"Yes, yes,"; Zhao Hongfei nodded repeatedly, "We'll head back right now, absolutely no second thoughts…";

Lin Yu looked at the two, terrified out of their wits, and curled the corner of his mouth in a cold smile: "Get lost.";

They scrambled away on hands and knees, not even bothering to take their own subordinates. Their only thought: they could never provoke this madman in this lifetime!

【Ding! Host intimidated the masses, gaining 200 points of toughness!】

【Ding! Host displayed decisive slaughter, gaining 150 points of toughness!】

【Ding! Host established his reputation, gaining 100 points of toughness!】

【Current toughness: 1830 points】

Lin Yu watched the two's sorry fleeing backs, feeling secretly pleased. This morning's work not only firmly established his prestige, but also reaped so many toughness points—truly killing two birds with one stone.

"Still not getting lost?"; Lin Yu said coldly, "Do you want to stay for lunch here?";

The subordinates of the three, as if waking from a dream, rushed out in a scramble.

That scene just now was truly shocking; they feared that if they were even a step slower, they would become the second Sun Zhiyuan.

After everyone had left, Zhou Wei stepped forward and said: "Chief, Sun Zhiyuan was after all a bureau chief appointed by the imperial court, and counts as half a trusted aide of Commander Qin. Killing him like this might cause some trouble for Commander Qin's side."

"Troublesome? If it's troublesome, then screw it!"; Lin Yu gave a cold laugh, "Sun Zhiyuan brought over seven hundred men, openly blocking the gate of my Fourth Bureau. If I didn't kill him, everyone would think I'm a soft persimmon!"

He turned his body, a flash of cold light in his eyes: "If Commander Qin insists on causing me trouble, then let him come. I'm not made of mud. With the power I hold, even a commander would have to weigh his options."

Zhou Wei nodded. As a confidant summoned by the system, he knew Lin Yu's strength well. Even this well-equipped gendarmerie unit alone would not be something Commander Qin could easily move against.

Moreover, there's also that German infantry battalion that has yet to reveal itself…

"Go,"; Lin Yu ordered, "have people clean this place up. By the way, send a message to Commander Qin's side: Sun Zhiyuan brought men to cause trouble, and I killed him on the spot. If there are objections, feel free to come talk to me anytime."

"Understood."; Zhou Wei immediately went to make arrangements.

Lin Yu returned to his office feeling refreshed and clear-headed, leaning back in his leather chair to stretch.

Today's performance was splendid—he not only disposed of three ignorant old fogies, but also gained a good amount of toughness points. Most importantly, he let all of Shen City know that the new director of the Fourth Bureau is no easy person to deal with.

"Right!"; he suddenly slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot the main business!"

Originally today he had planned to go clean up the Health Union Association's premises, properly dealing with those Japanese devils. But because of Chen Guotai, Sun Zhiyuan, and Zhao Hongfei—those three old immortals—tossing him about, he nearly delayed the main task.

"Zhou Wei!";

"Head."; Zhou Wei immediately appeared at the door.

"Let the military police prepare," Lin Yu stood up, a flash of cold light in his eyes, "It's time to go meet those foreigners."

"Head, should we also bring the German-equipped unit over?" Zhou Wei asked.

"No need," Lin Yu waved his hand, "Just these foreign devils aren't worth using the German-equipped unit. The military police are enough."

He picked up the Colt 1911 on the table, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile: "Let them also taste what a real firepower strike is!"
