Chapter 89: Placing the Piece

August 31st.

On the last day of the month, Li Fei came to the Martial Arts Hall early in the morning as usual.

But before he could find Hao Yi, a group of people found him first.

"Brother Fei!"

The leader piled a smile on his face and greeted him enthusiastically.

Li Fei looked at this person.

The other party's name was Luo Hua, the son of a squad leader in the First Squad of the Inspection Court, and also one of the core figures in Lu Zhangwu's small team before.

Ever since Lu Zhangwu died accidentally and Lu Sheng was demoted, this small group that once belonged to the Inspection Court's descendants was basically on the verge of disbanding.

Later, after Li Lei was promoted beyond his rank to become the squad leader of the First Squad, which was beyond everyone's expectations, people ran to find Li Fei one after another, hoping that he would stand up and become the new 'leader', but they were all brushed off by Li Fei.

He had too many things to busy himself with during this period, and really had no heart or energy to be any kind of leader and socialize with these descendants of the Inspection Court.

"Brother Fei, today is the end-of-month assessment, how have you considered the matter I proposed before?"

Luo Hua asked.

Li Fei asked: "What is the content of this month's assessment?"

He had been busy with perception training for the past two days, 'taking slashes' every day, and had almost forgotten about the monthly assessment.

"This month's assessment is related to a major event that happened in the past two days."

Luo Hua said, "Recently, a fierce person named Green-Faced Ghost appeared in the Xingcheng Jianghu. Does Brother Fei know?"

"Er."

Li Fei was stunned for a moment, "I know a little bit."

"This Green-Faced Ghost first killed a Level 3 main judge of the Judicial Academy, and then publicly injured someone in the Green Origin Fist Stronghold, reportedly beating the Tiger Saber Gang's secretary until he was seriously injured and dying!"

Luo Hua said in a low voice with an excited expression:

"Our monthly assessment this time is to participate in the joint operation of the Inspection Court, the Stop-Gong Academy, and the Justice Academy, to arrest Green-Faced Ghost together."

"Is that so..."

Li Fei was stunned again, "Do you already know where Green-Faced Ghost is?"

Luo Hua shook his head: "That's not it, but we are going to participate in the search operation with the people from the Inspection Court."

"Then if the person isn't found in the end, how will this month's assessment be calculated?"

Li Fei asked.

Luo Hua was startled: "A joint operation of the three academies, such a big move, surely we can find the person, right?"

"Mm..."

Li Fei nodded, "What you said makes sense."

"Brother Fei."

Luo Hua pointed to the people behind him, "For this operation, all of us will look to you!"

Compared with the small team when Lu Zhangwu was still there, the number of people in front of Li Fei now was not even half of what it was before.

Wu Yihua took the top position and became the Inspection Chief, so the internal pattern of the Inspection Court was completely different from before, and many people didn't dare to go against the Tiger Saber Gang anymore, choosing to withdraw from this group.

These people in front of Li Fei, their fathers were basically all in the First Squad, and Li Lei was their fathers' direct superior, so they chose to let Li Fei be the leader.

"Let's help each other."

Li Fei gave a response.

He didn't need to push these students away, after all, Li Lei still needed the support of these people's fathers.

"Great!"

Seeing Li Fei agree, Luo Hua and the others were overjoyed.

"This time with Brother Fei leading us, maybe we can catch Green-Faced Ghost and make a great contribution!"

Someone flattered him.

"..."

Li Fei could only smile when he heard this, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Then he went to Hao Yi's office and asked about the monthly assessment.

Sure enough, it was the same as what Luo Hua said.

"If you fail to find Green-Faced Ghost, or if you don't have the opportunity to encounter Green-Faced Ghost in this search operation and don't have a chance to perform, then other assessment methods will be arranged later."

Hao Yi said to Li Fei.

"Alright."

Li Fei nodded.

Hao Yi recalled the phone call he made last night, and his expression was slightly unnatural:

"This Green-Faced Ghost possesses the combat power of a martial master and is a person skilled in fighting. The implant he uses should be of the strength type. If you really encounter him, don't go head-to-head."

Li Fei bowed to Hao Yi:

"The student understands."

Next, like the previous month's assessment, all Grade A students gathered in the auditorium, the Vice Hall Master spoke, and then seven or eight senior lecturers led the team to set off.

This time it was also the Inspection Court's box trucks that drove into the Martial Arts Hall to pick up people, picking up all the Grade A students to go to the search area.

"Little Brother Fei, I was sent by Squad Leader Li."

In the car, an inspection officer who was riding in the same car as Li Fei and others took the initiative to speak:

"We are searching the entire city this time, Squad Leader Li is responsible for the Kaiping District, and he sent me to pick you up to go to his side to participate in the search."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work."

Li Fei nodded, feeling a little emotional.

Last month's assessment, a similar thing happened between Lu Zhangwu and Lu Sheng, and now it had become Li Fei and Li Lei.

At this very moment, it was just like that very moment.

The expressions of Luo Hua and others in the car were also a bit strange, obviously also associating it with the beginning.

It's just that the final results of Lu Zhangwu and Lu Sheng were not very good, and I don't know what the result of this monthly assessment will be?

Yu Mansion.

In the room where Zhang Mingze was recovering from his injuries, Doctor Huang, who had been guarding the bedside, suddenly looked happy and hurriedly gave Zhang Mingze, who was lying on the bed, a few needles.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Zhang Mingze, who had been in a coma, suddenly coughed and slowly opened his eyes.

"Go notify the Gang Leader, the secretary is awake!"

Doctor Huang turned to shout at the people guarding outside.

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and Yu Hu walked in quickly, looking at Zhang Mingze on the bed for the first time.

Seeing the other party wake up, he was immediately happy, and turned to ask Doctor Huang:

"How is his condition?"

Doctor Huang had just finished taking his pulse and said to Yu Hu:

"Since the secretary can wake up, it means he has already walked out of the gate of hell. As long as the injury doesn't continue to worsen in the next few days, his life can be considered saved."

"That's good! That's good!"

Yu Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, "Doctor Huang, please continue to put in more effort next."

Doctor Huang hurriedly bowed: "Gang Leader is too polite."

"Gang Leader."

On the bed, Zhang Mingze called out weakly.

Yu Hu hurriedly walked to the bedside: "You just focus on recovering, don't worry about other things for now."

Zhang Mingze shook his head slightly, looking at Yu Hu:

"Gang Leader, tell me the current situation."

Doctor Huang on the side saw this and hurriedly said: "Secretary Zhang, you shouldn't exhaust your mind now."

But Zhang Mingze just stared at Yu Hu tightly.

He knew that he had been seriously injured this time and almost died, so Yu Hu would inevitably have big moves.

Yu Hu looked at Zhang Mingze's eyes and sighed.

He knew the other party's personality too well, so he could only quickly tell his arrangements and what had happened in the past two days.

"What is Gu Zhenhui's reaction?"

After listening to Yu Hu's description, Zhang Mingze asked.

"I let the main government building propose that the Inspection Court, the Stop-Gong Academy, and the Justice Academy take joint action, and Gu Zhenhui didn't oppose it, and the officials in his line were also very cooperative."

Yu Hu said, "He is trying to avoid suspicion."

"Mm."

Zhang Mingze hummed and fell into deep thought.

Because of the serious injury, his thinking was a bit slow. He closed his eyes and thought for a long time, suddenly coughing:

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

"Secretary!"

Doctor Huang hurriedly stepped forward to give Zhang Mingze two more needles to help the other party calm his breath.

Zhang Mingze looked at Yu Hu and said weakly:

"Gang Leader, the move of publicly releasing that Green-Faced Ghost killed Feng Zhenshan is very clever... but..."

"It also left a flaw..."

In the room, Yu Hu's eyes narrowed.

Kaiping District, Li Fei and others had already converged with the First Squad of the Inspection Court, dividing into dozens of small teams to begin searching.

Because the vast majority of people living in the Kaiping District were either rich or expensive, the search here couldn't break into other people's homes house by house, and could only check as much as possible.

"Male, height around 178, medium build, possibly with multiple sword wounds on his body."

This was the information Li Fei and others received about Green-Faced Ghost.

Besides this, everyone had a picture of Green-Faced Ghost's mask, and all search personnel were asking people everywhere to see if anyone had seen this mask, while also searching for all suspicious people.

Because it was still raining heavily, everyone was holding umbrellas and acting in the rain.

After checking for a few hours, Luo Hua and others, who were full of ambition at first and looking forward to encountering Green-Faced Ghost and finding an opportunity to make a contribution, were all like eggplants beaten by frost, wilted.

"When will this have to be checked until?"

Luo Hua couldn't help complaining.

"This kind of big search is just relying on luck, it's possible there will be no results for ten days or half a month."

An accompanying inspection officer said.

"Is it possible that Green-Faced Ghost has already left the city?"

A female student asked.

"That possibility is relatively small, because all the main roads out of the city were sealed off in the first place, and then all personnel leaving the city were strictly checked one by one. It's very difficult for the other party to mix out of the city without anyone noticing."

"Hey, this assessment is too boring."

Another student complained.

Li Fei, who hadn't spoken, echoed when he heard this:

"It is quite boring."

He himself was participating in the search, it would really be a ghost if he could search out Green-Faced Ghost!

*Bang! *

Suddenly, a gunshot came from afar.

Everyone present was stunned.

Then they heard a sharp whistle, and a faint shout:

"Found Green-Faced Ghost!"

"Green-Faced Ghost is here!"

On the shelves tomorrow
