Secret Buyer-Chapter 215 - 166: When Did I Become This Powerful?

Chapter 215: Chapter 166: When Did I Become This Powerful?

"Veto?"

Lin Shiquan chewed on these four words, his expression dark and cold:

"Martial Law?"

As an Inspector of the Investigation Bureau, he was naturally very clear about these regulations, and for a moment, he laughed out of anger:

"Governor Zhao, Director Chen, are you planning to shield Zhang Fusheng and oppose the Headquarters? I now have reason to suspect you of colluding with the cults."

"Colluding with the cults?"

Chen Daoling’s face displayed an exaggerated expression, waving his hands repeatedly:

"Laozi, my neck doesn’t have the strength to bear such a big accusation. With the current chaos in Chongyang City, Inspector Lin should be able to see it. We are only following the rules and procedures..."

Lin Shiquan stared at him coldly, without any apprehension despite the presence of the two Grandmasters,

He exhaled lightly and said listlessly:

"The implementation of Martial Law is extremely stringent. So, was this riot initiated by the cultists?"

"Yes."

The reply came from Zhang Fusheng, who was impatient, with many things yet to deal with, raised his eyebrows:

"According to our investigation, this riot is an organized and premeditated revolt, most probably initiated by Taoism."

He walked to the window, drew open the curtains, and spoke confidently:

"As the Director of the Public Security Headquarters, in order to protect the safety of the citizens and uphold the prestige of the Federation, I have the authority to take all necessary actions."

"For example....."

Zhang Fusheng turned around, looking at the not very old Inspector, and said plainly:

"For example, scrutinizing Inspector Lin, who suddenly arrived in Chongyang City at this critical moment?"

Lin Shiquan’s eyelid twitched, he laughed out of anger, and shook his head:

"A clown."

He picked up the phone, sent a text message, then pointed to the phone on the desk:

"Governor Zhao, the Investigation Bureau is calling. Care to answer it?"

Zhao Wenting glanced at the unresponsive landline, raised an eyebrow:

"I don’t think it’s..."

’Ring!’

The red phone rang with a piercing sound.

Zhao Wenting squinted, stepped forward, and answered the phone with a full smile.

"This is Zhao Wenting... Director Lin, we have no intention of resisting review or opposing the Investigation Bureau. We are just following the rules..."

"Dissolve the three-member adjudication team? Please hold."

Zhao Wenting raised his head, just looked at Director Zhang and Chen Daoling when he heard the young man smile and say:

"Vetoed."

Zhao Wenting spoke into the phone:

"Director Lin, your order to disband the Chongyang City adjudication team has been vetoed by Director Zhang, Zhang Fusheng."

The Innate person on the other end of the phone fell silent.

Then started laughing.

As if infuriated.

Lin Shiquan’s eyelids twitched, he stepped up, unceremoniously took the phone from Zhao Wenting’s hand, and exclaimed loudly:

"Director, I now propose to the Headquarters to launch a ten-day anti-cult campaign against the Chongyang City riots and request armed support!"

On the other end of the phone,

A middle-aged man’s cold voice came through:

"Approved, thirty action teams will arrive in Chongyang City today."

Zhang Fusheng swaggered up, talking cheerfully to the phone:

"Through the decision of the Chongyang adjudication team, your support and assistance from the Investigation Bureau have been vetoed, Director Lin, what do you think?"

The person on the phone paused again.

"Is it Zhang Fusheng you said? I’d like to meet him."

"Three hours later, the combined action teams will arrive."

The light words hung in the air, and the big figure in Golden City hung up the phone.

The office fell silent.

Lin Shiquan gazed down at Zhang Fusheng from on high:

"Still the same statement."

"A clown..."

He only saw a flash before his eyes.

The young man didn’t know when he disappeared from his original spot; when he reappeared, he was next to the action team leader,

The latter froze, looked up, and locked eyes with the young man.

’Boom!’

A roar sounded in his brain as if he saw a giant Ox Demon towering to the skies, and seventy-two snowy mountains hanging above his head,

The Ox Demon roared, the avalanche followed!

’Bang!!’

The Grandmaster’s head was smashed to pieces with a punch.

The flesh ignited like a Furnace Fire, executing Blood Rebirth.

The pale hand gently stroked, and it seemed like the sound of an avalanche echoed in the void, the leaping candle flame twisted violently, as if crushed by the overwhelming snow—and then was extinguished.

The body that had just grown half a head crumpled weakly to the ground.

Lin Shiquan watched in stark amazement, furious, wanting to reprimand, but saw the young man named Zhang Fusheng turn his head, looking at him quietly.

Danger.

Danger! Danger!

An icy dread crept up from the bottom of his heart, quickly engulfing his entire body, the words at the tip of his tongue were forcibly swallowed back.

"According to the investigation findings."

Zhang Fusheng turned around, reported strictly and earnestly to the Governor and Garrison:

"An undercover cultist was following Inspector Lin. After a tense and fierce battle, I narrowly managed to eliminate the cultist."

"And considering the current tense situation in Chongyang City, I propose to provide Inspector Lin with 24-hour comprehensive protection."

The clear voice echoed in the office.

Zhao Wenting raised his hand:

"I second."

Chen Daoling also nodded:

"Seconded, I will report this incident, by then..."

He smiled at Lin Shiquan, who was drenched in cold sweat:

"By then, Inspector Lin, we will require your comments and signature on the report."

Lin Shiquan’s mouth twitched, he momentarily lost his voice, unable to speak.

He suddenly realized that it was completely different from what he had previously imagined.

Chongyang City was not a docile lamb waiting for review and instruction,

This place was evidently a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair!!
