Chapter 62: A Pleasant Conversation – Let’s Teach The 【heituo Follower】 Together!
She reached out to grab Zhang Hengyu’s shoulder, but her expression suddenly changed slightly. Turning her head, a gale blasted her face.
The metal corridor suddenly dented with a small pit. Su Chen pushed hard with his legs, and cyan wind surged wildly, 【Wrath of the Gale】 activated, his arms gathering the gale, smashing out fiercely.
Zhang Yunqing’s eyebrows twitched, and her extended palm had to change direction.
Bang!
The two collided, the gale howling, separating at once upon contact.
“Since my brother doesn’t want to leave, don’t force him.” Su Chen’s arm was already wrapped in cyan iron wire, his tone flat.
【Gale Hunter】… Zhang Yunqing’s face looked ugly as her gaze swept over the opponent’s strange arm guard.
Her profession development progress was far higher than Su Chen’s, but fighting wasn’t her intention—the bigger the commotion, the more trouble.
Zhang Hengyu was a bit flustered and didn’t know what to do, looking hesitant.
But just then, the alarm bells blared throughout the entire Inspection Sub-bureau.
Soon, Hou Xu, who had been hiding downstairs watching the excitement, had to steel himself and come up, saying urgently: “Just received news, the Internal Affairs Department was suddenly attacked.”
“Internal Affairs Department?” Su Chen’s expression changed—that was Zhou Xian’s lair. Exchanging a glance with Zhang Yunqing, both withdrew their momentum at the same time.
The woman glared at him hatefully and left in a hurry.
………
“…What exactly went wrong with my education.” Zhang Hongbo frowned tightly, standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire South Wind City.
From the moment Zhang Hengyu went there, this fish couldn’t be hooked anymore. The Cult of the Strange God couldn’t have even a shred of wishful thinking left—even if Zhang Hengyu left now, it was useless.
Guard against them day and night, but it’s hard to guard against a thief in one’s own home.
But how could he have such a stupid son? Why hadn’t he noticed before?
“However, it might not be a bad thing…”
Zhang Hongbo’s pupils dilated, and suddenly, a flash of lightning rose from his pupils.
“Hm?” His expression changed drastically. In the distance, a building suddenly exploded violently, flames surging toward the sky.
“That’s the direction of the Internal Affairs Department!”
“Ruse of Self-Injury? Or drawing the tiger away from the mountain?” Zhang Hongbo’s face flickered between dark and light, but he didn’t hesitate long. He opened his bracelet, issued a series of orders, then leaped out the window.
He soon arrived at the scene. Thick smoke billowed from the Internal Affairs building, with large numbers of staff running out from emergency exits, crying and shouting.
The nearby patrol team had already arrived, setting up a cordon and evacuating the crowd at the scene.
“Yang Yan?” Zhang Hongbo’s expression shifted slightly as he looked toward the rooftop of a nearby building, where the white-haired man stood, looking back at him similarly.
As if by tacit understanding, the two moved at the same time, quietly heading toward the Internal Affairs hall.
The lingering elemental power was very intense… Zhang Hongbo was extremely vigilant, spreading his mental power field while casually saving quite a few staff members.
The lower floors hadn’t suffered much damage—the attack time was very short. What exactly was the situation?
Zhang Hongbo held his breathing. When he was still two or three floors from the top, his steps suddenly halted, his face turning very ugly.
In his mental power field, he sensed a powerful life magnetic field, tough as bedrock.
Suddenly, that life magnetic field vanished. Zhang Hongbo’s pupils contracted, and he instinctively wanted to flee from here, but a hoarse voice came from behind: “Zhang Hongbo.”
Zhang Hongbo’s body stiffened, his throat bobbing. The opponent’s life magnetic field was too strong—he couldn’t even sense height or weight.
“Ying Feng’s people have already noticed. We should withdraw.” The voice was grave.
“What?” Zhang Hongbo was bewildered.
“Seems not…” The voice from behind sounded somewhat disappointed. Zhang Hongbo sensed something off and carefully turned his head, but with one glance, his whole body froze in place.
“Chief Judge… Chief Judge Xia?”
Xia Hanshi glanced at him, and Zhang Hongbo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, followed by a fortunate sense of surviving a disaster.
If his reaction just now had been wrong, this one really would have struck to kill.
“Old Xia, you… came.” Yang Yan noticed the movement and carefully crept over before steeling himself to speak.
“Useless.” Xia Hanshi scolded coldly, “I’ve arrived so many days earlier than you, and you’ve got nothing.”
Yang Yan didn’t dare retort and hurriedly changed the subject, asking: “What happened here?”
Xia Hanshi snorted coldly: “That Zhou Xian has a problem. Hadn’t even interrogated him three sentences before he showed a flaw.”
“You got evidence?” Yang Yan’s heart grew uneasy. Zhou Xian had infiltrated for so long—it was impossible to show a flaw over just three sentences.
“What evidence is needed? He admitted it himself.” Xia Hanshi shook his head.
Yang Yan’s heart grew colder and colder, unable to hold back: “You didn’t threaten him, saying you’d kill him if he didn’t admit it, did you?”
Xia Hanshi fell silent.
Zhang Hongbo was completely numb. He had long heard of this one’s reputation, but this was his first direct contact.
“However, that guy has some skill—he actually escaped from my hands.” Xia Hanshi said at last.
Yang Yan smiled bitterly, “South Wind City is only so big. If we can’t lure out the big fish, what if…”
Xia Hanshi’s cold gaze turned to him: “Since you’re so clever, why didn’t you catch this guy?”
Yang Yan instinctively stepped back two paces, helpless: “Suspicion is just suspicion. We’re also investigating in secret.”
Moreover, not everyone had the qualification to act as recklessly as this Chief Judge.
“By the time your investigation yields results, everyone will be dead.” Xia Hanshi hated nagging types the most. His figure flickered and vanished.
Zhang Hongbo’s taut nerves slightly relaxed, suppressed anger in his expression as he stared coldly at Yang Yan: “The Sixth Chief Judge came—why didn’t you tell me in advance?”
Yang Yan’s gaze drifted: “He told us not to say.”
Zhang Hongbo’s face darkened, clenching and unclenching his fist, feeling utterly stifled.
………
“What are we hiding here for?”
On the roof of a building next to the Inspection Sub-bureau, the two were prone here, still wearing Inspector Guard uniforms.
Zhang Hengyu was somewhat puzzled. His sister had just left when Su Chen hurriedly took him to change clothes, blend in with the Inspector Guards, and leave the sub-bureau.
“Who knows if it’s drawing the tiger away from the mountain? Hope your dad is smart.” Su Chen held the telescope, staring at the Inspection Sub-bureau below and the surroundings.
“Uh…” Zhang Hengyu didn’t know how to respond.
【The scholar and the sage chatted happily, even inviting him to join the education of Heituo Followers. The sage was quite pleased, considering you a person of great wisdom. You can directly job appoint; you only need to complete the last piece of top tier profession information within a certain time.】
【The sage also joins the ranks of educating Heituo Followers…】
Suddenly, Su Chen’s expression became very interesting. Chatting so enjoyably?
It seemed he could job appoint now?
Su Chen looked at the “job appointment” two words after 【sage】, silently mourned for “Heituo Follower” for three minutes, then happily accepted.
“Hm, Sun Fatty’s here?” Su Chen suddenly spotted a familiar figure and mused: “It’s been so long—probably not drawing the tiger away from the mountain.”
After a brief consideration, he brought Zhang Hengyu back into the Inspection Sub-bureau.
“Little brother, were you out on patrol? Truly dedicated to your post…”
On the top floor of the Inspection Sub-bureau, before Sun Fatty could knock, he heard movement on the stairs and saw Su Chen coming up.
The guy behind looked somewhat familiar. His beady eyes narrowed for a while before recognizing him.
Zhang Hengyu?
Sun Fatty nodded to himself. Su little brother was indeed clever, knowing to return the favor—after taking the City Lord’s benefit, he got chummy with his son.
