Thinking of recent events, he assumed this was why Li Fei was so fearless, so he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you, our Private Secretary Zhang of the Tiger Blade Gang will be released without charge tomorrow! That so-called Green-Faced Ghost can't do anything to him, and even if the Supervisory Court takes action, they can't convict him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when Zhang Mingze was taken away by the Inspection Court, Yuan Dao had felt a moment of panic, thinking the Tiger Blade Gang was about to face a change of regime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after learning about the battle of wits between Zhang Mingze and Gu Zhenhui, he understood this was Zhang Mingze's means of self-preservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was telling Li Fei now that Zhang Mingze was about to be released without charge, just to let Li Fei know that no one could do anything to the Tiger Blade Gang, and the sky over Xingcheng hadn't changed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was startled upon hearing this, turned around, and looked at Yuan Dao seriously for the first time:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Mingze is to be released without charge tomorrow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dao felt smug and laughed: \"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei nodded: \"Got it, thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, he turned and went upstairs, leaving Yuan Dao in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Dao turned to ask his lackeys with a confused expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did he thank me for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lackeys were equally confused and shook their heads:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't know, maybe he was scared stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei lowered his head and walked into Hao Yi's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi was sitting on the office sofa as usual, brewing tea and waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Fei intended to start apologizing, Hao Yi had already stood up and said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, time to train.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was startled and looked up at Hao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hao Yi's expression was as usual, and he walked out of the office first, just like always.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei was silent for a moment, then bowed deeply to Hao Yi's back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, the teacher and student walked into the training room together and began \"Perception Training\" and \"Force-Holding Training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One taught with heart, the other learned with sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Administration Building, Chief's Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's really no other way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhenhui looked at Cheng Bi and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Bi lowered his head: \"The Tiger Blade Gang had someone examine the wounds on Zhang Mingze's body; the injuries on him are exactly the same as those on the dead guards beside the seven Sifa Academy officials.

So, we really have no other way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captured Green-Faced Ghost was an impostor, so the words of Jiang Minsen—who had hidden the Green-Faced Ghost and claimed to have colluded with the Tiger Blade Gang's Private Secretary Zhang Mingze—were naturally proven false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a key witness, the Supervisory Court had no way to conclude that Zhang Mingze had secretly hired killers to murder Feng Zhenshan of the Sifa Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless we can capture that real Green-Faced Ghost and make him testify against Zhang Mingze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Bi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhenhui let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got angry just hearing the name \"Green-Faced Ghost\" now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party was killing indiscriminately, disrupting too many of his arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is the grand search operation going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhenhui asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There haven't been any suspicious findings yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Bi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second grand search operation by the three combined courts officially began early this morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was no longer just a \"superficial attempt,\" but a search of all areas in the city, including the homes of many officials and dignitaries!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first joint operation between the Chief's faction and the Tiger Blade Gang faction showed power that was absolutely overwhelming, at least in Xingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could stop it, and no one dared to stop it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Green-Faced Ghost was still in the city, the probability of him being searched out would be very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After catching this madman, I will have him executed by slow slicing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhenhui said with cold eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secretary and Cheng Bi on the side both lowered their heads, not daring to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>September 10th, in the prison of the Inspection Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of a maid, Zhang Mingze washed his face, shaved, applied makeup, and changed his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day of his release, and he wanted to dress up well to look spirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Supervisory Court couldn't convict him, his status as a \"criminal suspect\" in the Inspection Court was naturally wiped away quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spent over ten days recovering from his injuries on the hospital bed, he could now barely walk on the ground, so he intended to walk out of the Inspection Court with great fanfare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Private Secretary, everything has been arranged according to your instructions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiger Blade Gang martial artist Yang Xuan walked to Zhang Mingze's side and said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze walked to a mirror that had been specially brought in to check his appearance, tidied his hair, and asked with composure:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the people on Gu Zhenhui's side?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have also been communicated with in advance, and they are still very cooperative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze smiled: \"Gu Zhenhui must be wishing he could tear the Green-Faced Ghost into a thousand pieces right now, so naturally he will cooperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Private Secretary, will the Green-Faced Ghost really come today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xuan asked, \"Knowing it's a trap, will he still step into it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze turned to look at him and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know either, but I am looking forward to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he walked out of the prison with the support of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the main gate of the Inspectorate, a large crowd had already gathered; dozens of burly men wearing black jackets, black trousers, and black cloth shoes stood in two rows outside the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were all from the Tiger Blade Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides them, there was a motorcade parked on the side of the road, each one a luxury car worth over 5,000 yuan, and among them was even a 'Qilin' brand car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a bulletproof car that had undergone special processing, with the body tissues of exotic beasts lined inside!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a protective suit had been worn inside the car; just like protective suits, 'Qilin' brand bulletproof cars were usually priceless and unavailable, and only truly big figures could obtain one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Xingcheng, only Chief Gu Zhenhui possessed a 'Qilin', but he certainly would not send his own official car to pick up the Private Secretary of the Tiger Blade Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this brand-new 'Qilin' parked on the side of the road also belonged to the Tiger Blade Gang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stern-faced men in black, the luxury motorcade, and the rarely seen 'Qilin'—this formation made many uninformed commoners think that some great figure was being welcomed, so they stood not far away to watch the excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything today was instructed by Zhang Mingze and arranged by Yu Hu, with the purpose of building momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green-Faced Ghost had first seriously injured Zhang Mingze, then killed several officials of the Tiger Blade Gang faction in succession, and even scared several officials into voluntarily turning themselves in; the blow to the prestige of the Tiger Blade Gang was enormous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This inevitably made people feel that the Tiger Blade Gang could not even handle a single martial arts expert, and could not even protect its own people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this impression could not be reversed in time to restore their prestige, the officials of the Tiger Blade Gang faction would inevitably become increasingly panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they lost the support of these people, the Tiger Blade Gang would be like a tiger without claws or fangs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Zhang Mingze was going to leave prison with great fanfare today, to let everyone see the might of the Tiger Blade Gang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, he was also deliberately luring the Green-Faced Ghost out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am leaving prison with great fanfare and am about to return to the lair of the Tiger Blade Gang, heavily protected by a large number of experts. If you want to kill me, today might be your only chance; will you make a move?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the 'multiple-choice question' Zhang Mingze had set for the Green-Faced Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're here!

Although people did not know why this Private Secretary Zhang had been arrested and taken into the Inspectorate, seeing him walk out of the Inspectorate gate so grandly now, it was clear that he was already fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, even the Inspectorate could not control the Tiger Blade Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the expressions of the onlookers dim; not wanting to watch the excitement anymore, they turned and left one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Woo—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the crowd was about to disperse, a low sound of a horn suddenly rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People turned around in surprise to look, only to see two burly men in black holding horns and blowing them with all their might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the horn spread throughout the entire Inspectorate and also spread throughout this main street!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the sound of the horn, the luxury motorcade parked on the side of the road moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That 'Qilin' stopped in front of Zhang Mingze, who was surrounded like stars around the moon, and someone opened the car door for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene made the surrounding onlookers feel even more chilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lei, who had been watching this scene outside the gate through the window of his office upstairs, cursed angrily, his face gloomy as he turned away and stopped looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tiger Blade Gang putting on such a flamboyant display in front of the entire Inspectorate was simply proclaiming one thing to everyone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, the Tiger Blade Gang calls the shots at the Inspectorate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such behavior made Li Lei burn with anger, yet he was helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he was promoted to Captain of the First Brigade, he had originally been ambitious and wanted to achieve something. But he was not Lu Sheng after all; he had been transferred directly from the Second Brigade and had no foundation whatsoever in the First Brigade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would have been one thing, but there was also Inspector General Wu Yihua above him constantly suppressing Li Lei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any foundation, Li Lei had no way to fight an Inspector General. In just one month, he, the Captain, had already been largely sidelined by Wu Yihua, and he could be said to be struggling at every step within the Inspectorate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even if Li Lei had great ambitions, even if he was full of integrity, and even if he could not stand the various behaviors of the Inspectorate today, he was helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few others within the Inspectorate who felt the same way as he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These sounds of the horn ringing in their ears chilled their hearts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the 'Qilin', the color of the car windows was light red; looking out from the inside, the scenes seen were also light red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These car windows were all bulletproof glass mixed with the body tissues of exotic beasts, so they could not be made completely transparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze sat alone in the back seat, while Yang Xuan sat in the front passenger seat, two battle axes placed on his thighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, proceed according to the established route.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze said to the driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver started the car and gradually drove away from the Inspectorate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Private Secretary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xuan, sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly spoke, \"I don't understand why you deliberately let the motorcade take a detour?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, returning to the Yu Mansion from the Inspectorate, the motorcade could clearly have taken the shortest route, with a large number of experts arranged along the way to guard it and avoid accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Mingze had deliberately designed a longer, more circuitous route, and at some of the passing points, he had deliberately not arranged any personnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mingze smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I want to create an opportunity for the Green-Faced Ghost, to let him see the possibility of success, so that he might make a move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to see if he dares to draw his blade against me this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2931,"2026-06-25T10:09:32.527Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","01f253a16b50db50b5443f81054699f0516db4d7c33c356d576703929e8d7523","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-144","this-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-chapter-142",895,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-martial-saint-has-too-much-hp-cover.jpg"]
