“You, you, you…”
Seeing the scene of blood mist scattering before him, Shen Li'an was completely taken aback.
Setting aside Chen Xiao's method of killing, he absolutely did not expect that Chen Xiao would actually dare to kill someone in front of him.
Most importantly, he couldn't understand Chen Xiao's motive for killing. What was this person after!
Could it really be for justice? To uphold justice?
Don't be ridiculous!
Shen Li'an, who had been in officialdom for a long time, quickly dismissed this thought from his mind.
How could such a person exist in this world?
The adult world was all about the exchange of interests!
Justice? Upholding justice? What a joke… those were things only children cared about.
And the young man before him, with his extraordinary methods, was clearly not a child.
“I don't care why you did this, but, young man, you have touched my bottom line!”
Shen Li'an’s voice was low to the point of hoarseness, “I will let you experience the consequences of enraging a provincial governor! I will make sure you die without a burial place!”
Anger had made Shen Li'an lose some of his reason. In a normal state, he would not have spoken these words so directly and bluntly.
“Oh? Heh heh, then I’ll see… how you plan to shatter me into pieces!”
Chen Xiao rubbed his chin, saying with a playful expression.
“Hmph!”
Shen Li'an snorted, then shouted, “Secretary Lin!”
The office door opened, and Shen Li'an’s secretary bowed and walked in, his tone calm and his voice very low, “Governor Shen, you were looking for me.”
“Have the people from the Exorcism Department arrived yet?”
Shen Li'an asked proudly.
“They are already waiting outside the door,”
Secretary Lin replied.
“Let them in and have them execute this brat!”
Shen Li'an gave the order, and then several martial artists and cultivators entered from outside.
The leader was an old acquaintance of Chen Xiao, the team leader of the Exorcism Department, Song Zijian.
“Chen, Chen Xiao? Why is it you?”
The moment Song Zijian saw Chen Xiao, his eyes went wide.
He had only received orders to assist in apprehending someone disturbing public order, and he never expected that person to be Chen Xiao.
“Team Leader Song, long time no see!”
Chen Xiao greeted Song Zijian with a smile, showing no surprise on his face.
After all, he already knew when Song Zijian and his group arrived outside.
“You two know each other?”
Shen Li'an was taken aback, then ordered again, “Exorcism Department, heed my command, arrest this brat!”
“Governor Shen, this…”
Song Zijian looked at Shen Li'an, then at Chen Xiao, and was suddenly caught in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
After all, both sides were important figures, and he, a mere team leader, could not afford to offend either.
“Hmm? Exorcism Department, what are you waiting for? Are you not even listening to my orders?”
Shen Li'an, with his beard bristling and eyes wide, was very displeased with Song Zijian's inaction.
At the same time, Chen Xiao’s voice rang out, “Team Leader Song, I recall that the Exorcism Department reports directly to the military. What authority does Shen Li'an have to give you orders?”
“That’s true, but…”
Song Zijian’s branch of the Exorcism Department was located in Shen Li'an’s territory, so they had to show some respect.
Shen Li'an saw that Chen Xiao was quite knowledgeable, knowing that the Exorcism Department was under the command of the military, which ordinary people did not know.
However, this did not stump him. He shouted loudly, “Exorcism Department, this person just killed my nephew with extremely cruel and vicious methods. The Exorcism Department has an obligation to eliminate evil and protect the peace of the region. Hurry and arrest him!”
Shen Li'an said smugly, thinking that this way, it would be legitimate.
However, Chen Xiao also spoke at this moment, “Team Leader Song, Shen Li'an abuses his power for personal gain, has a long list of misconduct, and shields his nephew’s wrongdoing. This official is unfit to be the parent of a province. Arrest him and investigate him thoroughly. If the rotten beam above is not straight, the beams below will also be crooked. Since his nephew is worthless, I don't believe his own hands are clean. He must have also engaged in a lot of corruption and lawbreaking!”
Upon hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Shen Li'an was stunned for a moment, then let out a哑然失笑, “You want to investigate me? You, a murderer, want to investigate a provincial governor? Are you fucking crazy!”
Everyone burst into laughter, looking at Chen Xiao with mockery in their eyes.
They truly didn't know what this kid was thinking. What did he think he was?
Without concrete evidence, based on your word alone, you want to investigate a provincial governor? What a joke! 138 reading network
Song Zijian also looked troubled, “Chen Xiao, this, this is not according to the rules!”
“If it’s not according to the rules for me to investigate him, then is it according to the rules for the Grand Commander to investigate him?”
Chen Xiao said slowly.
“What? The Grand Commander?”
Song Zijian was stunned again, “Chen Xiao, are you saying that you caused this commotion on behalf of the Grand Commander?”
Chen Xiao remained noncommittal, while Shen Li'an began to panic. If this kid really represented the Grand Commander’s intentions, then this matter would not be simple!
This kid seemed to act recklessly and charge forward, but he was actually holding a special imperial sword!
But why would the Grand Commander find such a kid? There must be a trick to this!
Shen Li'an tried his best to calm himself down and signaled to Secretary Lin.
Secretary Lin understood immediately and went out to make phone calls, using his connections to inquire if this was the case.
After a while, Secretary Lin returned, said nothing, but shook his head at Shen Li'an, with a slight smile on his face.
Now Shen Li'an felt confident and looked at Chen Xiao arrogantly, “Kid, you want to trick me? You’re still too young. The Grand Commander has no intention of investigating me. You’re talking pure nonsense.”
“The Grand Commander indeed has no intention of investigating you,”
Chen Xiao said calmly.
“Hahahaha, you admit it yourself now? You dare to impersonate the Grand Commander. I think you are… forget it, you are so audacious, I don’t think there’s anything you wouldn’t dare to do!”
Shen Li'an shook his head with disgust.
“The Grand Commander has no intention of investigating you, but I do, and that’s enough!”
Chen Xiao’s words confused everyone.
“Kid, what do you mean, you can represent the Grand Commander?”
Shen Li'an was so angry his nose was about to fall off. Where did this kid get the nerve to speak nonsense here?
“Let me call him, and you’ll know if I can represent him.”
Chen Xiao said calmly, then took out his phone and dialed the Grand Commander’s number.
“Hmph, putting on an act, calling the Grand Commander, you?”
No one believed that Chen Xiao had the Grand Commander’s phone number, nor did anyone believe that this call was actually to the Grand Commander.
“Since you love acting, I’ll play along to the end. Let’s see how long you can act!”
Shen Li'an seemed determined to confront Chen Xiao.
The call was connected, and a voice came from the other end.
“Hello, Mr. Chen, why do you have time to call me today? Is something the matter?”
Shen Li'an was stunned, his gaze suddenly changed dramatically!
Because this voice was indeed the Grand Commander’s…
