Chapter 75: Risking Your Life For A Few Tens Of Thousands A Month?
Huang Qingyi followed Li Ye all the way out the gate before anxiously saying:
“Is it really no problem for us to just casually kill people like this?”
“What do you mean casually kill? Didn’t I give evidence?”
Li Ye pulled out several test tubes filled with black liquid from the pocket on his chest. “These are all evidence, perfectly legal.”
These weren’t even something Li Ye had asked for on his own; Sun Shun had stuffed them to him, the meaning self-evident.
Go ahead and do it boldly without worry.
Li Ye looked at Huang Qingyi, who still had a trace of lingering worry, walked up and patted his shoulder. “You can’t want the prestige of the Disinfection Bureau while also being unable to get things done. That way, you’ll really only be left reminiscing about the past.”
Huang Qingyi pursed his lips. “But there should be a more foolproof way. We don’t have to do it like this. Wait until the higher-ups react…”
“Is the higher-ups your dad or your mom? This is classic passing the buck—unable to handle things yourself and hoping the higher-ups will solve it. No wonder no one respects the Disinfection Bureau.”
Li Ye rolled his eyes. “Besides, what are you worried about? It’s not like you’re the one killing. I’m the one killing and I’ll take the blame. You just follow orders. Where’s that desperate energy you had fighting the Five Plagues Ghost? Bring it out and use it on these people too.”
Huang Qingyi said: “This isn’t the same thing! Demonic Creatures harm people, but these are people!”
“Just don’t treat them like people.”
Li Ye straddled the motorcycle. “Since Demonic Creatures harm people, aren’t people who refuse to cooperate and assist, leading to Demonic Creatures breeding, no different from Demonic Creatures?”
“Instead of letting the Disinfection Bureau suffer before the higher-ups react, why not make these people suffer a bit? It’s all the same kind of pain anyway. Next one!”
Buzz!
The motorcycle started up, and Li Ye headed to the next location.
Ning Family City’s nightclubs, big and small, numbered around ten, with three connected to the Ren Family, all fairly large-scale. Apart from the Golden Splendor they had just dealt with, which was the largest in the city, the other two weren’t small either.
After entering the nightclub, before Li Ye could even ask, Huang Qingyi stopped him.
He drew his sword blade, held a gun in his left hand, took a deep breath. “Let me do this one!”
Li Ye’s mouth curved up, and he stepped back half a pace, letting Huang Qingyi go first.
“Huang Disinfection Officer”
Bang!
The martial artist in the hall responsible for guarding recognized Huang Qingyi. He had just opened his mouth to question when Huang Qingyi raised his hand and fired a shot, shattering his forehead, then headed straight for the top floor.
The Ren Family’s venues all seemed to have the same decor style, with the sixth floor being the gathering place for those martial artists.
Once up, Huang Qingyi opened fire directly, first killing the two nearest martial artists, then aiming a shot backward at a man with a small braid and firing.
Bang!
But this shot was dodged directly.
The braided man dodged the bullet with a flash, rolled onto the nearby counter, grabbed a short knife, and leaped up.
Bang bang bang!
Huang Qingyi fired three shots in a row, but the man swung the short knife, forming an impenetrable stance, actually blocking the bullets. He then leaped to above Huang Qingyi and slashed down with one knife.
Clang!
The short knife was blocked by the long sword. Huang Qingyi pressed forward, about to thrust the sword blade past while blocking the short knife, but the man quickly changed moves. The short knife pressed down on the long sword, sliding it downward, and as he did, he kicked the hand Huang Qingyi was raising the gun with, kicking the gun away.
With qi and blood surging, it leaped six times in frequency—this was the same Dragon Gate Realm as Huang Qingyi.
“Huang Qingyi! What are you doing!”
The man shouted in shock: “Have you gone mad?!”
“I’m not mad. I’ve put up with you people for a long time!”
Huang Qingyi gritted his teeth and said: “Tao Qiang, from now on, I want you to guarantee no accidents happen in the places you guard, or I’ll hold you responsible!”
“You’re fucking insane. What gives you the right to order me around?!”
The man was stunned for a moment before angrily saying: “Who do you think you are?!”
“I’m Disinfection Officer Huang Qingyi!” Huang Qingyi roared: “If you don’t listen to me today, I’ll kill you!”
“Fuck, a few tens of thousands a month and you want to risk your life with me? Everyone, get him! Tear him apart! I’ll take responsibility if anything happens!”
Normally, the two sides had little interaction; coming over was just using Demonic Creatures as an excuse to shut down a venue. Now he was supposed to obey?
No such rule!
On the contrary, he had killed several of his underlings. Even if he beat him to death now, he wouldn’t be afraid!
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Huang Qingyi in the torso, using the force to swing backward, picked up the gun Huang Qingyi had dropped earlier, and pulled the trigger at him.
Both were Dragon Gate Realm, but a rookie like him could handle Demonic Creatures, but his experience in fighting people was no match for someone like him who had fought his way up.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out. Huang Qingyi jolted, about to dodge, when he felt a hand grab his shoulder and pull him back. Then another hand reached out, pinching forward with two fingers, catching a shiny golden bullet.
Li Ye released his fingers, letting the bullet fall to the ground, and smiled. “You’re doing it too roughly. Let me handle it.”
Behind him, several who had rushed up were already lying there with broken legs.
Li Ye could see it too—normal Disinfection Officers really weren’t feared.
All at Dragon Gate Realm, with similar strength, they wouldn’t submit easily.
That uniform on them was fine for acting within the rules, and could be handled by the book, but if you wanted something else…
It still came down to personal ability.
Thud!
Li Ye stomped his foot, sending out a qi circle from where he stood, then shot forward like a bullet to Tao Qiang, grabbed his gun hand, and squeezed hard. A crisp sound of breaking bones rang out, making Tao Qiang cry out in pain and release the gun.
After the pained cry, ferocity flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand for a knife thrust straight at Li Ye’s neck.
Ding!
A crisp sound came from the knife tip. That sharp short knife could only stop at Li Ye’s neck, without even leaving a scratch.
Li Ye casually tossed the gun to Huang Qingyi behind him, then turned his head to Tao Qiang, baring his teeth in a grin. He reached out, gripped the knife tip at his neck, and with five fingers squeezing hard, twisted the short knife into an irregular twist like pinching rubber.
Pfft!
The twisted short knife was seized by Li Ye in a reverse grip and stabbed into Tao Qiang’s waist and ribs. Before he could cry out, Li Ye slapped him across the face. As several teeth flew out, Tao Qiang was slammed to the ground and didn’t get up for a long time.
“Making you obey is for your own good. If Demonic Creatures come out and they all get killed, what then? All trained in martial arts training from childhood—wouldn’t it be too wasteful to die here?”
Li Ye said with a smile: “If things go wrong and Demonic Creatures follow the scent to kill your whole family, that would be even more regrettable, don’t you think?”
Tao Qiang gasped for a while before turning his head up, clutching the stabbed spot, and shouted: “You have no reason to casually kill people!”
Li Ye pulled out a black test tube from his chest pocket and shook it at Tao Qiang.
“Now we do.”
Tao Qiang was stunned, then shouted: “This is a threat! Extortion! Where’s any of the Disinfection Bureau’s style in this?!”
“What style is the Disinfection Bureau?”
Li Ye looked down at him, lightly lifted his foot, and stepped on the handle of the short knife that was half-buried in Tao Qiang’s waist and ribs.
“Is it the style of mildly sealing an industry according to the rules? Or only handling those Demonic Creatures, solving them to give people like you room to operate?”
“Normally everyone gets along fine, but when push comes to shove, we’re targeted. We have to follow the rules, but you don’t? Is that the style?”
Pfft!
He pressed down with his foot, forcing the remaining blade and entire handle fully into his body, then stepped on Tao Qiang’s mouth to silence him.
“You seem smarter than the last one. You should be more useful as a dog.”
He pulled out the gun and aimed it right at Tao Qiang’s forehead.
“Two choices: be my dog, and your whole family lives today.”
“Be the Ren Family’s dog, and your whole family dies today.”
Li Ye grinned ferociously: “A few tens of thousands a month and you’re risking your life? Seems like you earn more than us, so you should be even more willing to risk it. Now’s the time for you to risk your life.”
