Chapter 76: What Makes A Traitor So Cocky?
Tao Qiang was afraid.
He didn’t see a hint of threat in Li Ye’s eyes.
The other’s gaze wasn’t fierce, and his tone wasn’t harsh, but that was what made it scary.
Because when threatening someone without wanting them dead, a person’s tone and actions would be deliberately exaggerated and ruthless.
But if it’s purely to kill—who the hell performs before killing?
This was coming straight for the other’s life.
And what did he say… the previous one?
Had he already dealt with one and come here?
Where did the Disinfection Bureau recruit this person from!
Wasn’t it only Pan Zhengyang who was formidable?
How come the one who came now feels even crazier than Pan Zhengyang!
Looking at Li Ye’s extremely normal but gradually cooling gaze, and that dark gun barrel, Tao Qiang could only nod his head heavily twice.
“I don’t care if you’re sincere or fake, anyway as long as I’m in Ningjiang for a day, the Disinfection Bureau’s instructions to you must be carried out meticulously.”
Li Ye released his foot and smiled: “This place is yours, not the Ren Family’s. I don’t want you to go kill anyone—managing your own turf shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
These clubs, the bosses are these people, on the surface they have no relation to the Ren Family, and the Ren Family doesn’t have shares in them.
Tao Qiang clutched his abdomen and barely stood up, pursed his lips, nodded again, and asked hoarsely:
“Can I ask, before you came to me, who was the previous one?”
Li Ye looked at Huang Qingyi, “What was his name again?”
“Ren Dao, dead, whole family dead.” Huang Qingyi said.
“Sigh, encountered a cult and got wiped out—that’s also a setback in our work. But now there’s no one, they all resigned, short on manpower.”
Li Ye feigned a sigh, put away his gun, waved at Tao Qiang, and took the black test tube from the table.
“Alright, I’ve given you the heads-up. There doesn’t seem to be a cult here. Keep an eye out lately, don’t cause trouble, the venue can’t have accidents. You’re a smart guy, don’t disappoint me.”
Seeing Li Ye and Huang Qingyi leave, Tao Qiang’s body went soft and he slumped inside, gasping for air.
His front teeth were all shattered; he felt air leaking when he breathed.
“B-Boss”
The underling who had been stunned earlier came up tremblingly. He glanced at the several corpses on the ground shot dead, and those few whose legs had been kicked broken by the even more imposing person, and asked:
“What now, sh-should we call the police?”
Tao Qiang glared at him, “They’re the cops, what are you reporting?!”
After saying that, he felt a sense of absurdity.
The Disinfection Bureau wasn’t like this before; they just dealt with demonic creatures, and when needed, came to people like us—worst case, shut down for a while.
Demonic creatures affected their business too, but aside from that, people like them didn’t really take the Disinfection Bureau seriously.
They were all martial artists; putting on a layer of skin didn’t change that.
But now the Disinfection Bureau goes mad, and it feels more terrifying than the Ren Family.
No.
A long time ago, it seemed to be this style too.
Did it change and then change back?
He knew about the Ren Family and Disinfection Bureau matter; that Bureau Chief went mad, specifically guarding at the Ren Family’s main residence, clearly tearing faces.
Ren Dao’s whole family was killed; if he hadn’t agreed quickly, he’d probably have suffered the same fate.
“Those dead ones count as illegal gun possession and accidental suicide by misfire, has nothing to do with us. Everything else as usual, keep tight watch this period, don’t let anyone in the shop have accidents, do as the Disinfection Bureau says.”
Tao Qiang sighed, “When immortals fight, mortals suffer—endure it.”
……
“I’m not as capable as you.”
After leaving, Huang Qingyi sighed: “Only someone like you can subdue them; my strength isn’t enough.”
Li Ye laughed: “With someone like me around, even if your strength isn’t enough, things will be better. As long as I don’t fall, from now on, no one will dare look down on you. Let’s go, next one!”
This nightclub was in East City District, also not small in scale. This time Huang Qingyi wasn’t as crazy as before; at the door he caught a Three Dragon Gates lookout, poked several holes in him with a sword, and imitating Li Ye, grabbed his hair and went up to the sixth floor.
But this time the situation was a bit different.
Inside the small hall, three people were sitting at a round table drinking wine.
“You two brothers, since you’ve resigned, might as well do it thoroughly—want me to make an introduction?”
A man smiled and raised his wine glass, saying to the two: “Compared to the Disinfection Bureau’s pitfalls, here we have plenty of money, plenty of people, idle time, and no danger—isn’t it better?”
“Don’t talk nonsense; though we’ve resigned, we’ll be rehired.”
Another man wearing glasses smiled: “As long as Director Pan is transferred, we’ll go back.”
The one with the slicked-back hair also raised his wine glass and clinked it with his, saying: “Some things are different; no matter how much money you have, it’s not just for one person—our benefits aren’t any less than yours.”
“As for danger… where is there no danger? Without us handling things, your shops couldn’t stay open and would’ve been eaten by demonic creatures long ago.”
“That’s true.”
The glasses man said: “Besides, there aren’t that many dangers. They call it high-risk work, but with the right methods to deal with it, it’s not that hard. If real danger comes, resign then—there’s always someone at the top. Like our Director Pan, he’s steadfast and upright, it’s just a pity he doesn’t know when to quit.”
The slicked-back hair also smiled: “Had to go checking the Ren Family, who’ve been rooted here for centuries—what scene haven’t they seen? Some people died, demonic creatures appeared and they pinned it on them. Never mind if it didn’t happen—even if it did, so what? Didn’t anything happen, right?”
“Right right, you two brothers are right, another toast to you both.”
That man smiled and raised his glass: “After this drink, I’ll arrange it—new girls have come in lately, all from One Dragon Gate, flexible and with exceptional stamina, guaranteed to make you two have fun.”
Bang!
While speaking, the elevator door was opened, followed by a gunshot, and a person was thrown out.
Huang Qingyi fired a shot into the air and shouted: “Wang Yong, come out! Disinfection Bureau on duty!”
The gunshot quieted the surroundings and made them look over.
“Huang Qingyi!”
Before the one called Wang Yong could speak, the slicked-back hair frowned: “What are you doing!”
“Captain Yue…”
Huang Qingyi was stunned and then saw that slicked-back hair, “Captain Tang”
The two were precisely the former Captain Tang Zhe and Squad Captain Yue Duan of Squad One.
“You haven’t resigned yet? If not, go properly hunt demonic creatures—what are you doing running here?”
The glasses man Tang Zhe showed displeasure: “And you fired your gun—who allowed you to fire at normal people? When did the Disinfection Bureau have such a regulation! Hand over the gun!”
“I—”
Huang Qingyi was about to speak when he suddenly felt something off: “Wait, no—you resigned, what business is it of yours with the Disinfection Bureau?”
“Not approved yet; can such an important post just resign on a whim?”
Yue Duan shouted: “Don’t think you can climb up just because we’re gone—you’re just a newbie, what are you pretending to be here? The Disinfection Bureau also follows rules; this place has an inspection certificate issued by Captain Tang, you coming now is questioning superior orders, you—”
Bang!
A louder gunshot rang out abruptly; the man named Yue Duan was startled and just about to move, but immediately heard a roar by his ear.
That roar was like thunder, making his whole body tremble and his actions stiffen.
And at that moment, his skull was blown open by a high-powered bullet, red and white splattering out and sprinkling into the wine glasses on the table.
“Why are you wasting words with them.”
Li Ye’s voice sounded behind Huang Qingyi, then brought a gust of wind. His body moved like a swimming dragon, darting left and right in the small hall to approach the glasses man.
Slap slap!
The glasses man reacted quickly; as Li Ye came, both hands moved to strike Li Ye’s chest, but with two sounds, Li Ye grabbed and pressed, locking his neck.
Sizzle!
Five fingers gripped hard inward, Li Ye’s fingers embedding deeply, then with another pull, he forcibly yanked off the man’s head.
He placed the head on the table and smiled at the remaining stunned person: “Perfect timing, the Disinfection Bureau is purging traitors colluding with the cult—by the way, giving you instructions. Will you listen or not?”
That person stared at the glasses man’s head in a daze for a good while, then suddenly shivered, his hair standing on end.
Thud.
Using the seat, he smoothly knelt to the ground, kowtowing nonstop: “O-Officer, don’t kill me!”
