~10 min read 1,845 words

"Second Uncle!!!"

Seeing Zhang Yimin lead people in, Zhang Shouhang felt as if he had seen a ray of sunlight in a dark world and immediately cried out for help.

"Second Uncle, save me quickly, he wants to kill me!!"

Seeing Zhang Shouhang with his lower body covered in blood, Zhang Yimin was stunned for a moment, then saw Chen Che's finger pressing on Zhang Shouhang's wound and instantly flew into a rage.

"You little brat, daring to hurt a member of my Zhang Family, I think you're tired of living!"

Zhang Yimin shouted in a fury, then requested of Du Chuan beside him: "Director Du, this Martial Artist is abusing his power to attack a civilian; please give the order to execute him!"

Before coming, Zhang Yimin had carefully considered Qiao Ming's words.

Peng Hui, who had Ninth Grade strength, had died at Chen Che's hands, and there was also Cheng Kexin's status as a Patrol Justice Commander.

He knew very well that he couldn't do anything to Chen Che and Cheng Kexin on his own, so he specifically called for Du Chuan—the Patrol Justice Department Director.

With Du Chuan present, Chen Che would have all the Martial Dao strength in the world but nowhere to use it, and as for Cheng Kexin, an official one rank higher could crush you to death!

Du Chuan wore a solemn Patrol Justice Department uniform; he was tall with a piercing gaze. He scrutinized Chen Che and said in a deep voice: "Kid, who gave you the guts to run wild in Shanghai? Now take your hand off Young Master Zhang, then kneel before me and cuff yourself!"

"And if I don't?"

As Chen Che said this, he increased his force, and Zhang Shouhang immediately let out a miserable shriek.

Du Chuan let out a cold snort, feeling extremely angry at Chen Che's blatant provocation of his authority, and immediately gave the order: "Do you think you can be arrogant just because you are a Martial Artist? Everyone listen, open fire!"

"Yes!"

Swish, swish, swish...

The Patrol Justice Department soldiers surrounding Chen Che and the others raised their guns one after another, aiming at Chen Che.

"Let's see who dares?!"

Cheng Kexin shouted, pulled Chen Che up, and shielded him behind her.

Zhang Yimin also took the opportunity to rush in and pull Zhang Shouhang out of the encirclement.

Qiao Ming, who had been hiding in the private room observing the situation, also ran out at this moment and came to Zhang Yimin's side to help look after Zhang Shouhang.

"Send the Young Master to the hospital!" Zhang Yimin ordered immediately upon seeing Qiao Ming.

Qiao Ming was eager to leave this place quickly, so he immediately responded and left with Zhang Shouhang.

"Cheng Kexin, don't forget that you are a Patrol Justice Commander. Do you want to shield this Martial Artist who is abusing his power?!"

Du Chuan roared and questioned: "Are you still fit to be a Patrol Justice Commander?!"

"Director Du, I have a reason for shielding him. Today's matter is not his fault, and he has not violated the rules of the Patrol Justice Department!"

Cheng Kexin hurriedly defended him.

"A reason? You bitch, you still have the nerve to say there's a reason?"

Zhang Yimin was furious: "Don't think I don't know him! His name is Chen Che, he is your lover, you bitch. You have a marriage contract with my nephew, yet you dare to mess around with another man. Now that he has injured Xiao Hang, you are still protecting him! How shameless, how could our Zhang Family have a woman like you, who doesn't know the meaning of shame, as a daughter-in-law!"

Ever since Zhang Shouhang returned from the Cheng Family last time, and Cheng Weijun went to offer gifts to curry favor, everyone in the Zhang Family had known of Chen Che's existence.

It was just that Cheng Kexin was not a woman the Zhang Family absolutely had to marry, so they let Zhang Shouhang handle it himself.

"Pah, you are the bitch!"

Hearing Zhang Yimin insult Cheng Kexin, Cheng Kexiang was furious and retorted: "My sister doesn't care about marrying Zhang Shouhang, and our Cheng Family doesn't care about marrying into your Zhang Family!"

"Good, good, very good! Let's see how long you can be arrogant for?!"

Zhang Yimin said to Du Chuan: "Director Du, as a Patrol Justice Commander, Cheng Kexin knows the rules of the Patrol Justice Department, yet she still protects Chen Che. This is a serious violation of the Patrol Justice Department's discipline!

Of course, she is a member of the Patrol Justice Department, so it is up to Director Du to decide how to deal with her!

But as for Chen Che, he injured my nephew as a Martial Artist; according to the rules of the Patrol Justice Department, he should be executed by firing squad!

I ask you to uphold justice for us and execute this bastard!"

Du Chuan was still angry about Chen Che offending his dignity just now, and now he had to consider the Zhang Family's face, so he decided to execute Chen Che on the spot.

He narrowed his eyes and ordered Cheng Kexin: "Commander Cheng, I order you to step aside. Otherwise, you won't need to return to the Patrol Justice Department tomorrow!"

"To open fire and kill without asking for the reason—is the rule Director Du follows the rule of the Patrol Justice Department, or the rule of the Zhang Family?"

Qian Rongrong asked with biting sarcasm.

"Of course it is the rule of the Patrol Justice Department!"

Du Chuan was so embarrassed that he became angry and roared—because Qian Rongrong was right.

He had brought people here because Zhang Yimin had called him; he hadn't known what exactly happened before he arrived.

In any case, it was just the life of a Martial Artist; to a Patrol Justice Department Director like him, it didn't count for much.

Moreover, he had taken many benefits from the Zhang Family over the years; having taken their gifts, he naturally had to do things for them.

Most importantly, he and the Zhang Family shared a secret; once this secret was exposed, it would be enough to ruin them both.

"Since Director Du follows the rules of the Patrol Justice Department, then the Zhang Family is colluding with the Martial Arts Alliance—Director Du, should the Zhang Family members be arrested?"

Chen Che said something shocking.

"What?!"

Du Chuan and Zhang Yimin's expressions changed at the same time, and their hearts were shaken.

"Kid, you must have evidence when you speak!"

Zhang Yimin looked angry, but he felt guilty inside, "You actually say the Zhang Family is colluding with the Martial Arts Alliance? Then produce the evidence, otherwise, for this alone, the Zhang Family will fight you to the death!"

"That's right."

Du Chuan also said: "The rules of the Patrol Justice Department are set by the Sovereign, and I will certainly abide by them. If you can produce evidence that the Zhang Family is colluding with the Martial Arts Alliance, I will personally arrest the Zhang Family members and bring them to justice!"

Chen Che turned around, pointed to Peng Hui's corpse, and said: "May I ask Mr. Zhang, is Peng Hui a member of the Zhang Family?"

Zhang Yimin looked suspicious and said: "Yes, Peng Hui is a bodyguard and retainer of the Zhang Family, and he also holds a position in the new energy company under Xiao Hang's name; he can be considered a member of my Zhang Family."

"That's right then!"

Chen Che revealed a smile and said: "Before Peng Hui attacked me, he took a type of Pill, and that type of Pill is only available to the Martial Arts Alliance."

Hearing this, the expressions of Zhang Yimin and Du Chuan changed wildly at the same time.

"Don't talk nonsense. Peng Hui is already at the Ninth Grade realm; where would be the need to take that kind of Pill with massive side effects to improve..."

Zhang Yimin's words came to an abrupt halt; he realized he had let something slip.

Chen Che's lips curled into a crafty smile, and he said, "I never said that kind of medicine could improve cultivation and had massive side effects. Since Mr. Zhang knows so much about that medicine, it seems the Zhang Family really is in collusion with the Martial Arts Alliance."

"Bullshit!"

Zhang Yimin panicked and looked to Du Chuan for help: "Director Du, don't listen to this person's nonsense; the Zhang Family has no connection to the Martial Arts Alliance!"

"I naturally believe that the Zhang Family has no connection to the Martial Arts Alliance."

Du Chuan took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and panic in his heart, and asked, "Kid, you just said that Pill is only available from the Martial Arts Alliance, so how did you know that?"

"I told him!"

Cheng Kexin realized Du Chuan was digging a hole for Chen Che and answered first.

"Director Du, this information does not violate regulations, so we talked about it when we were chatting privately."

Cheng Kexin added another sentence.

"Even so, that cannot be used as evidence!"

A flash of annoyance crossed Du Chuan's eyes, and he continued to ask, "How can you prove that the medicine Peng Hui took was the medicine of the Martial Arts Alliance?"

"Perform an autopsy, then compare the drug elements remaining in his body with the Pill elements archived by the Justice Inspection Department."

Li Qingyan volunteered: "I can provide this service for free."

Du Chuan's mouth twitched; before coming, he had heard from Zhang Yimin that Li Qingyan was a Divine Doctor, so she definitely had the ability to perform an autopsy.

"That won't do either!"

Du Chuan changed his tune again and said, "Peng Hui is only a retainer for the Zhang Family. Even if he is suspected of colluding with the Martial Arts Alliance, it cannot prove that the Zhang Family is too!"

"Director Du is right. You cannot just make baseless accusations and frame the Zhang Family for colluding with the Martial Arts Alliance because of one hired thug!"

Zhang Yimin chimed in sternly.

Chen Che's expression changed slightly, and he narrowed his eyes; Du Chuan's open protection of the Zhang Family made him think of another possibility!

"Director Du is so certain that the Zhang Family has not colluded with the Martial Arts Alliance; could it be that Director Du knows some inside information?"

Chen Che stared at Du Chuan's expression and asked.

"Bullshit!"

Du Chuan's voice suddenly rose by eight octaves, his body trembled involuntarily, and his sharp accusation was mixed with unmaskable anger.

"I am the Director of the Justice Inspection Department, and the Justice Inspection Department has always been at odds with the Martial Arts Alliance. How dare you slander me?! I'll kill you right now!"

Du Chuan was so ashamed and angry that he pulled a pistol from his lower back and aimed it at Chen Che...
