Start By Parsing The Sun

Chapter 198: The Patronage of a Big Shot (5K Chapter)

Upon hearing about the incident in the west of the city, Cheng Han decisively ordered, "Go to the west of the city now, and tell me the relevant information on the way."

Deputy Chief Duan Zhuohui quickly responded, "Okay."

Cheng Han left the garden office without hesitation, called a team of Black Armor soldiers, whistled for Guagua, and rode away on a Feathered Beast.

Not far away.

The butler happened to be pushing a food cart, followed by several servants, each holding an exquisite food tray in their hands.

This was the lunch carefully prepared for Director Cheng.

From this scene, it was clear that the Fang family had spared no expense in serving the director.

Fang Qinghuai, the master of the Winter Garden, looked at the food cart and then turned to look at the departing figures of the group, feeling completely confused.

Didn't the big shot say he was going to have a meal?

Why did he suddenly run away?

The butler approached and asked in a low voice, "Master, it seems that Director Cheng has left. What should we do with this food?"

His voice became even lower, "These dishes are made with the best ingredients at home, most of which are high-end ingredients prepared for the New Year banquet. It would be a pity to waste them."

Fang Qinghuai looked troubled.

Based on Director Cheng's actions, it seemed that he didn't intend to have a meal in the Winter Garden. But the problem was, this was the lunch prepared for the big shot. How could he decide how to handle it?

Serving a big shot was really difficult!

At this moment, a soldier nearby overheard the whispered conversation between the master and the butler and suddenly interjected, "Captain Cheng is an extraordinary person. Since he personally took action, he can easily solve the trouble in the west of the city."

Fang Qinghuai was taken aback and tentatively asked, "Are you saying that Director Cheng will return to the Winter Garden later?"

The soldier nodded, "Of course! Director Cheng will be back in at most an hour."

Fang Qinghuai respectfully replied, "I understand."

However, he was still somewhat skeptical.

The deputy chief personally came to report, indicating that there was a major problem in the west of the city. Director Cheng had just arrived and hadn't even familiarized himself with the situation at the Inspection Office. How could it be so easy to solve this matter?

But since the other party said so, the master of the Winter Garden didn't dare to disobey.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Qinghuai instructed the butler, "Bring all the stoves from the house and warm the food in the garden so that Director Cheng can have a meal directly when he returns."

A group of people quickly moved the stoves.

Fang Qinghuai watched the servants walk away quickly and secretly worried.

Now even the stoves had become Director Cheng's exclusive items. Hopefully, the big shot wouldn't delay his return until tomorrow, otherwise, they wouldn't have a stove to cook with at night.

On the way to the west of the city, Cheng Han learned about the situation.

In short, a mid-level official from the Arbitration Bureau encountered an attempted revenge from an ancestor. One avenger was killed, and another escaped into a large residential area nearby called "Ningpingfang".

There, it was a gathering place for the lower-class civilians.

A group of inspectors, accompanied by spirit dogs, went to track them down but encountered a large number of civilians protesting at the entrance of Ningpingfang, blocking them from entering the community.

The two leading inspectors urgently discussed and began forcibly dispersing the civilians.

In the midst of chaos, the avenger hidden in the crowd suddenly launched an attack, killing one inspector on the spot and seriously injuring another.

Cheng Han listened with a grave expression.

It was evident that this was an organized and premeditated act of blockade.

All the inspectors had practiced the Nine Elements Martial Arts, and the civilians generally feared them. Who would dare to gather and blockade the inspectors?

Deputy Director Duan Zhuohui continued to explain, "Tao Hongming, the leader of the Third Outpost, has already arrived at Ningpingfang, and the two sides are currently in a standoff."

"However, all the more than one thousand residents of the community have gathered at the entrance, and the number is too large. Old Tao is worried about causing a big mess and is reluctant to take action easily."

Cheng Han turned to look at a team of soldiers and shouted, "Everyone, be prepared to use your spiritual combat skills when we arrive at Ningpingfang and wait for my orders."

"Yes!"

Duan Zhuohui secretly clicked his tongue.

There were over a thousand civilians on the scene, and they actually planned to take direct action. The new director's style of doing things was too tough.

Before long, they arrived at Ningpingfang.

At this time, the entrance of the community was already blocked, and looking around, angry faces filled the scene.

The atmosphere on the scene was extremely heated, with the crowd shouting various slogans.

"Damn inspection dogs!"

"Liu Laosan, Zhang Guaizi, they were killed by the inspection dogs, and many others were injured. The Inspection Bureau must pay the price!"

"The inspection dogs indiscriminately kill civilians, they must pay with their lives!"

Duan Zhuohui explained in a low voice, "In the previous conflict, the two inspectors encountered an assassination, and the inspectors were a bit heavy-handed."

Cheng Han shook his head, "Everyone must take responsibility for their actions, regardless of whether the civilians were influenced or not. If they dare to obstruct the law enforcement of the Inspection Bureau, they must be prepared to pay the price."

He then gave a conclusion, "The inspectors did nothing wrong."

Duan Zhuohui breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Han glanced at the deputy director again and said lightly, "In the future, try to make things clear and avoid any omissions."

Duan Zhuohui was so scared that cold sweat started to seep from his back: "I understand!"

Ever since witnessing the new director of the bureau kill Deng Xi like slaughtering a chicken, and then casually chatting and laughing afterwards without changing his expression, the deputy director's fear of him had grown even stronger.

As long as the new director furrowed his brows slightly, Duan Zhuohui couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Tao Shaochang arrived after hearing the news and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Director Cheng!"

The patrol leader began to report the situation, "Here..."

Cheng Han interrupted him, saying, "You and your subordinates should be prepared to cooperate with us in controlling the scene."

Tao Shaochang was taken aback for a moment and quickly responded, "Yes!"

Cheng Han's gaze swept over the crowd and he coldly shouted, "According to the city's laws, maliciously obstructing the enforcement of the patrol bureau can result in up to five years of hard labor."

The voice didn't sound loud, but everyone within a radius of two hundred meters felt as if it was ringing in their ears, and every word was heard clearly.

Duan Zhuohui and Tao Shaochang exchanged a glance, both wearing surprised expressions.

Both of them were retired soldiers from the Black Armor Army, so naturally they could tell that this was an extremely sophisticated sound transmission technique.

Cheng Han issued the final ultimatum, "If you continue to obstruct law enforcement after two minutes, the patrol bureau will strictly enforce the law..."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice rang out from the crowd, "Don't be afraid, with so many of us here, the patrol dogs wouldn't dare..."

"Bang!"

Cheng Han suddenly stomped on the ground.

A small pebble jumped up.

"Snap!"

He raised his hand and flicked the pebble.

The pebble turned into an arrow leaving the bowstring, instantly flying over a hundred meters and hitting a civilian in the forehead.

"Bang!"

The head exploded.

The surrounding civilians were splattered with red and white matter, and they were all terrified.

"Ah~"

"Someone's been killed!"

The screams of extreme terror immediately rang out.

Cheng Han's voice spread once again, suppressing the shouts, "According to the law, this person openly incited the civilians and violently resisted the enforcement of the patrol bureau, and will be executed on the spot."

One second later.

Another fearless person shouted.

And there were three of them.

"The patrol dogs are killing innocent people!"

"Let's fight the patrol dogs! Avenge the victims!"

"Let's all attack, I don't believe the patrol dogs dare to kill all of us!"

"Bang!"

Cheng Han stomped on the ground again.

Three pebbles flew past, once again exploding three heads.

One of them deliberately hid in the crowd, not even showing his head.

But it was useless.

The pebbles drew an arc in the air, accurately exploding the head of this person through the gaps in the crowd.

The panic in the crowd grew even greater.

Cheng Han glanced at his pocket watch and said coldly, "There's still one minute and fifty-five seconds left!"

This time, no one had the courage to incite the civilians.

Even the person who had been shouting loudly just now closed his mouth, fearing to bring disaster upon himself.

For a moment, the scene quieted down.

Duan Zhuohui and Tao Shaochang watched with astonishment.

Killing people without hesitation!

Too ruthless!

Cheng Han snorted lightly, a look of disdain on his face, "A bunch of rabble."

Based on the deduction results, among the guys who were shot in the head, one of them was a dream master, and the rest were brainwashed avengers.

In that case, he had no pressure in killing them.

Ten seconds later.

Cheng Han warned again, "There's still one minute and forty-five seconds left! Once the time is up, the patrol bureau will immediately make arrests."

He turned his head and signaled to a group of soldiers.

The group of people shouted in unison, "Yes!"

This shout utilized the technique of the Nine Elements Spiritual Warfare Skill "Soul-Shaking Style," greatly intimidating the civilians.

Although there were more than a thousand civilians on the scene, with the combined efforts of twelve soldiers, they were enough to suppress the majority of the people.

The remaining few people were also unable to stir up trouble.

Another fifteen seconds passed.

Cheng Han timely applied pressure again: "There is still one minute and thirty seconds left. Everyone, listen to my command and prepare for the arrest."

He added specifically: "In order to avoid disturbing the order of our city, all suspects will be detained in a temporary camp outside the city."

The soldiers once again demonstrated their imposing presence:

"Understood!"

After this series of actions, some civilians began to falter.

Everyone felt that the Inspection Bureau seemed determined to detain all one thousand plus people.

What frightened them was that the detention location was actually outside the city.

Wasn't this clearly driving people out of the city?

Outside the city was so dangerous, with nothing there, and there was even the possibility of encountering wild animal attacks. Wasn't staying there for a few days asking for death?

A few seconds later.

The few civilians on the outer periphery left without a word.

One of the organizers in the crowd immediately noticed this scene and whispered, "Don't be afraid, the inspection dogs..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a stone flew over.

"Bang!"

Another head exploded.

The crowd once again erupted in fearful screams.

Cheng Han coldly shouted, "Everyone, listen to my orders. Anyone who incites the crowd to resist law enforcement will be executed on the spot without the need for consultation."

"Yes!"

The soldiers cooperated extremely well and applied maximum pressure.

The spontaneously dispersing civilians increased even more.

With so many people demonstrating, others also began to stir.

The organizer hidden in the crowd, facing the threat of death, no longer dared to obstruct.

Not even two minutes had passed.

The crowd had dispersed completely.

Including Duan Zhuohui and Chief Tao, the staff of the Inspection Bureau were all extremely impressed.

They had easily resolved a crisis with just a few tricks.

Too amazing!

Even the group of spirit hounds watching from the sidelines had a change in their gaze.

This new bureau chief was truly extraordinary!

Cheng Han timely commanded, "Seal off the community and arrest the organizers behind the scenes!"

Implementing arrests in a situation with too many people was not a good idea, as it could easily provoke panic. As long as someone with ill intentions incited, it could really cause a big mess.

But once the crowd was dispersed, there was no longer this concern.

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

"Woof! Woof!"

The inspectors had sharp eyesight, and during the standoff, they had already identified several suspicious individuals.

Even the older dogs among them were not to be outdone and had also identified many unscrupulous individuals.

Only the younger dogs were slightly lacking, but they had no problem following along and cheering.

Soon.

A group of people rushed into the community with great momentum and began carrying out the arrest mission.

During this process, there were also some acts of resistance. The inspectors, under the orders of the bureau chief, ruthlessly shot them on the spot without any mercy.

Fifteen minutes later.

More than thirty suspects were brought to the entrance of the community.

Cheng Han glanced at them and silently deduced, saying, "There are still a few fish that slipped through the net. A few people come with me."

Chief Tao eagerly responded, "Yes!"

Cheng Han quickly walked around the community and pointed out several houses.

A group of inspectors broke in directly and roughly dragged the suspects out.

Something happened during this.

After the inspectors broke into a dilapidated house, a teenager of about fourteen or fifteen years old waved a kitchen knife and shouted frantically, "You inspection dogs, you're not allowed to take away my father."

This teenager also threatened with a resentful expression, "You've enslaved the Sat people for so many years, you will definitely have a bad death in the future."

Cheng Han looked at the middle-aged suspect who was tied up like a zongzi and sighed, "By instilling these things in your son, aren't you ruining his future?"

This father and son pair had obvious Sat ethnic features.

This was obviously also an important reason for their involvement in the resistance organization.

The middle-aged suspect realized the situation was not good and pleaded, "Please spare my son, he is just a child!"

But the young man was arrogant, saying, "Dad, there's no need to beg these Wanhao bastards. We have the protection of our ancestors. In the future, we will definitely kill all the Wanhao people and reclaim our ancestral land."

Cheng Han remained silent for a moment and looked at Tao Shaochang, saying, "Do you remember the oath you made just now?"

Tao Shaochang nodded heavily and repeated, "I swear to be an enemy of the Sate people for the rest of my life."

Cheng Han showed approval and said, "Very good! This world is the precious legacy left behind by countless Wanhao ancestors who made great sacrifices. As their descendants, we have the obligation to defend every inch of our land."

Tao Shaochang's expression turned solemn as he said, "I understand."

The captain took a step forward and slapped the young man's head hard.

"Smack!"

The young man's nose started bleeding, and he fell to the ground.

The middle-aged man let out a heart-wrenching roar, "Wanhao bastards, you even dare to harm children. I will kill all of you..."

But he didn't finish his sentence.

A young patrol officer grabbed the man's head and twisted it forcefully.

"Crack!"

The middle-aged man convulsed a few times and completely lost his breath.

The young patrol officer spat and cursed fiercely, "You're the bastard. The noble blood of the Wanhao people is tainted by flowing through your body."

Other patrol officers expressed their agreement.

"You're right!"

"A true Wanhao person should be loyal to the Wanhao clan and protect this world."

"Woof! Woof!"

These were the mocking barks of the dogs.

Cheng Han looked around and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "You are a group of excellent patrol officers and the backbone of the Patrol Bureau!"

He never hesitated to praise subordinates who were firm in their stance and diligent in their work.

Tao Shaochang quickly humbled himself, saying, "You overpraise me."

The group of patrol officers had proud expressions on their faces.

*

Another moment passed.

Cheng Han returned to Dongyuan and began to enjoy the sumptuous meal prepared by the Fang family.

The Fang father and son personally served as waiters, attentively serving the boss's meal.

These two had heard about the major event that happened in Ningpingfang and knew how ruthless and cautious this boss was.

Furthermore.

The new director only took a little over half an hour to easily solve a big problem, which surprised the father and son with his strong ability to get things done.

After finishing a piece of lamb chop, Cheng Han wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at the young Fang Tingyuan, asking, "Are you willing to serve the Wan Hao Clan?"

As a prominent figure in the eyes of others, he constantly emphasized the "Wan Hao Clan" in public, which actually reiterated his position and served as a banner to gather a group of people who were truly willing to work.

Otherwise, if the position of the superior is unclear and the subordinates have no direction, how can they work?

Fang Tingyuan was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "I am willing!"

With a casual remark, Cheng Han gave the other party a future, "Currently, the Inspection Bureau is seriously short of manpower. You have already condensed the Body Tempering Seal and practiced the Nine Yuan Martial Arts. Are you willing to become an inspector?"

Fang Tingyuan's breathing became rapid, "I am very willing!"

This young man never expected that just by serving this big shot a meal, he would receive such an important opportunity in his life.

Fang Qinghuai also had a grateful look, "Director Cheng, the Fang family will always remember your kindness."

Under normal circumstances, to become an inspector, one either needs exceptional strength or undergoes strict assessment, both of which are not easy.

Being personally recommended by the director, the future in the Inspection Bureau can naturally be anticipated.

Cheng Han couldn't be bothered with Fang Qinghuai and asked himself, "Fang Tingyuan, it is currently a critical period. Being an inspector may face many dangers. Are you mentally prepared enough?"

Fang Tingyuan straightened his chest, "I am not afraid of death!"

Cheng Han smiled satisfactorily, "Good! I look forward to your performance."

Being praised by the big shot, Fang Tingyuan's face turned red with excitement, and without hesitation, he began to swear, "I swear to be an enemy of the Sartre people in this life..."

Cheng Han was even more satisfied, "Very good!"

No one who saw the scene of "the big shot taking in an unknown soldier" would think that these two people were actually about the same age, with Fang Tingyuan even being a few months older.

Cheng Han revealed his true intention when he had no other choice, "Many common people in Ningping District are easily deceived not only because of the Dream of the Divine, but also because their lives are too difficult."

"The deceivers just paint a rosy picture, and they are willing to gather together and resist in the name of the Sartre people."

Fang Qinghuai was a smart person and understood the implied meaning immediately, promising, "It happens to be close to the New Year. The Fang family is willing to contribute three hundred... no, five hundred gold coins to purchase a large amount of supplies to help the common people in Ningping District get through the New Year."

Cheng Han praised, "The Fang family is a kind-hearted family!"

Fang Qinghuai's old face immediately blossomed with a smile.

With five hundred gold coins, in exchange for the support of a prominent figure for his son, plus the praise of being a "kind-hearted family," it was worth it!

The benefits of the former go without saying.

The latter is also very significant. With just this sentence from Director Cheng, the Fang family will have much less trouble in the future.

Who would dare to bully a kind-hearted family?

Have some self-respect, right?
