Secret Buyer-Chapter 55: Killing

"Chief Inspector Chen, we have a suspect linked to a terrorist, likely a relative. What’s your take?"

Chen Yongzhi suddenly stood up.

As a senior inspector in the Fifth District Public Security Bureau, he was practically the second-in-command, holding command and decision-making power when the bureau chief was absent.

And currently, the other senior inspector was also not present.

"It’s good that we’ve caught one."

Chen Yongzhi’s gloomy expression softened slightly, and he let out a breath:

"Contact the Green Gang and have them take the person away."

He was extremely resentful; this was a big problem, and he had to give the Green Gang an explanation.

"Chief Inspector Chen."

The security officer reminded him:

"All the colleagues are currently watching the suspect."

He emphasized the words ’all the’.

Chen Yongzhi waved his hand:

"So what? Haven’t you or he taken money from the Green Gang? I ask you, who in our bureau hasn’t done dirty work?"

He sneered:

"The first thing to do if you want to take Green Gang money is to use the bureau’s issued gun to kill someone for them."

"The bullets remain in the heads, and the heads are frozen in the Green Gang’s cold storage! Who dares to betray them? Just do it!"

"Don’t forget to have everyone turn off their law enforcement recorders and cut off nearby surveillance."

The security officer nodded submissively:

"Yes, Chief Inspector Chen!"

Then he jogged away.

Chen Yongzhi also stood up leisurely, heading to the scene of the incident.

Although it wasn’t the terrorist personally, a relative... could still serve as half of an explanation.

This time, an accident must be avoided!

...

The pitch-black gun barrel pointed downward.

Spiritual will was slowly withdrawn, and Zhang Fusheng rubbed his slightly aching temples,

The consumption of spiritual will was becoming increasingly severe, and even the Divine Realm seemed to be having problems...

Was it because of the so-called lack of a ’fixed’ Divine Realm form, or was there insufficient Subordinate Soul to share the pressure?

He felt a bit irritated, a strange aggression rising in his heart, but it quickly calmed as his thoughts turned.

Green Gang? Black money?

To get hold of this black money, one has to kill first?

His mind turned quickly, realizing that the Public Security Bureau’s firearms and bullets were all numbered and could be traced back,

Bullets left in the head, with the head held by the Green Gang, served as a solid handle, perhaps not just for the Fifth District Public Security Bureau; other bureaus might be no better,

No wonder Lu Mingzhu said the relationship between the Green Gang and the Public Security Bureau was very close.

On the phone, Zhang Xiaoxi was still shouting:

"What? You went to the Public Security Bureau? You idiot!"

She decisively said:

"Can you run? If not, I’ll arrange to get you out. Just wait..."

Zhang Fusheng interrupted her:

"Does this have anything to do with the Green Gang?"

"Green Gang?"

On the other end, Zhang Xiaoxi was confused:

"How is it related to the Green Gang... Oh? Chen Sijiu?"

She spit out a name.

Zhang Fusheng frowned and asked:

"Who is this?"

"Isn’t the research institute in Dragon Boat City having three candidates? He’s one of them. I just blew up the Public Security Bureau and blew him away along with it. He seems to be with the Green Gang."

Zhang Fusheng understood and briefly inquired about the matter, his expression turning grim, silently remembering the name ’Chen Yongzhi’.

"Is Uncle seriously injured? Where are you now?" he asked.

"All minor injuries, we just arrived at the Peace Hotel."

Zhang Xiaoxi replied:

"You might not know, but the rule at the Peace Hotel is no ’fighting’; I heard its background is very influential."

Zhang Fusheng sighed in relief:

"All right, you and Uncle should stay put, I’m fine here, will be there soon."

Just as he hung up, coincidentally, accompanied by shouts of ’Chief Inspector Chen,’ a middle-aged man stepped down from a car.

"Why aren’t they cuffed already, what’s everyone waiting for?" Chen Yongzhi shouted.

"Yes, Chief Inspector Chen!"

A security officer jogged up with handcuffs and cuffed the two individuals.

Zhang Fusheng asked:

"Who is Chen Yongzhi? Is it that Chief Inspector?"

"That’s me."

Not far away, Chen Yongzhi sized up the frail-looking young man but said nothing more, then turned to order:

"Have you tracked the whereabouts of the terrorist?"

"Chief Inspector, the target entered the Peace Hotel."

"Peace Hotel?"

Chen Yongzhi raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat relieved, knowing now it was a clash between the Green Gang and the Peace Hotel, allowing him to step out of it.

What needed to be done was to wait for the Green Gang to arrive, so the matter was...

’Boom!’

A deafening noise shook the air, and not far away, the ground was covered in dense cracks. Before any security officers could react, a figure had already appeared before Chen Yongzhi,

the wind unleashed, and dust rolled up.

"You... you..." Chen Yongzhi was still somewhat unresponsive, looking at the frail young man before him, his mind frozen.

Being a senior inspector, he was himself a Third Refinement expert.

Chen Yongzhi abruptly awakened, tapping his toes on the ground, and his figure swiftly retreated—having run into a steel plate!

The Zhang family even had such relatives??

He fluttered back like an autumn leaf in the wind, gracefully, but just as he lifted off, a hand clamped his throat like an iron grip, pulling him back violently.

"Huh huh..."

Chen Yongzhi struggled to breathe, trying to resist, terrified to find the young man’s strength far exceeded his!!

Great Success of the Five Refinements, adding six thousand six hundred pounds of force.

The security officers who had just relaxed pulled out guns again, and some shouted, some scolded,

with gun barrels pointed down, Zhang Fusheng felt a prickling sensation on his skin, as a Fifth-Refined Martial Artist could ignore most small-caliber firearms,

but not the armor-piercing rounds used by the Public Security Bureau issued pistols.

One shot on the body could at least break the skin, lodging in the muscle - yet the bloodthirsty toxin above would take effect on sight of blood.

But he was indifferent.

"Chen Yongzhi?" Zhang Fusheng asked again.

Chen Yongzhi gathered his remaining strength, thrust his toes through the air, and kicked Zhang Fusheng’s abdomen repeatedly, creating clanging sounds as if striking steel.

"That’s it."

Zhang Fusheng nodded, loosened his hand, and the uplifted Chen Yongzhi fell, just as the tip of his toes touched the ground.

The head was smashed with a single punch.

He didn’t even realize he was ’dead’ before he was dead, his last thought being regret over not having thoroughly investigated Zhang Wenhua’s background.

Zhang Fusheng, remaining calm, didn’t forget to draw Chen Yongzhi’s spiritual will into the Divine Realm before crushing him—in this way, another grim skeleton was added to the Divine Realm.

’Bang bang bang!!’

Gunfire erupted together, countless sparks sprayed.

Zhang Fusheng merely stomped heavily, clashed his fists, and the ground abruptly tore apart, splintered concrete and stones flying,

forming a dense barrier-like whirl around his body under the howling wind of his punches!

Bullets penetrated the stones, were blown and twisted by the vaguely tiger-roaring wind, and by the time they hit Zhang Fusheng, they couldn’t even penetrate his skin, only leaving clear white points.

But it still hurt.

Yet he didn’t dodge but savored the pain, simply stepping up stones repeatedly to block bullets.

Since last time, with over two hundred years of contemplation and cultivation, he pushed his spirit realm to perfection in one breath,

Zhang Fusheng could feel his temperament becoming more irritable.

Perhaps it was due to thousands of times of falling into demon.

Perhaps it was due to the lack of sufficient Subordinate Souls to share the pressure of the Divine Realm.

Or perhaps a combination of both, plus some other reasons.

In short, he became more ’violent’.

Within moments,

as the security officers ran out of bullets, as one by one began reloading, during the brief lull when gunfire completely ceased.

From the smoke and dust created by bullets colliding with stones, came a gentle voice tinged with excitement.

"I heard you’ve all taken the Green Gang’s black money and killed ’innocent’ people."

"So it’s just normal if I kill you, right?"

The smoke tore open, and a figure like a hungry tiger charged out from within!

"Roar!!"

The tiger’s roar erupted layer by layer!
