"Hmph!"

Hearing Luo Lie's words, Wang Zhengchuan responded with a cold sneer. He was leaning against the wall, looking at Luo Lie, and said, "Luo Lie, stop bluffing. Do you think I was scared into submission?"

Wang Zhengchuan had climbed step by step to become the director of the Ministry of State Security in Lin'an City. He considered himself well-versed and astute. In his perception, even though his position wasn't the highest, it was certainly not low either!

For an unknown young person, to abandon his position as the director of the Lin'an City Ministry of State Security was, to him, utterly ludicrous and impossible!

"I'll tell you, if you can't kill me today, I'll personally go to the Capital tomorrow. I'll find your Shadow Sword leader to file a complaint. I'll tell all your misdeeds to your superiors and let them punish you. If you have the guts, shoot me. If you have the guts, kill me. I'm telling you, I won't spare you even as a ghost!"

At this moment, Wang Zhengchuan was being held at gunpoint at the brow, his face flushed red, and he shouted hoarsely. He appeared no different than a mad dog, nothing like the Ministry of State Security director.

He had been thoroughly pushed to the brink!

If his abuse of power were exposed, without a doubt, he would be stripped of his position and serve some years in prison. That was unavoidable. So now, he was hoarse and maniacal.

"Playing the lute to a cow!"

Hearing Wang Zhengchuan's speech, a hint of coldness appeared on Luo Lie's face. He no longer wished to waste time on Wang Zhengchuan: "Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Saying this, Luo Lie, without further ado, lightly pulled the trigger of the silver pistol, pressing it halfway down!

Now, with just a slight twitch of Luo Lie's finger, the golden bullet in the chamber would instantly pierce through Wang Zhengchuan's brow and explode inside his skull!

At that moment, he would truly die on the spot!

Seeing the trigger of the silver pistol in Luo Lie's hand pressed halfway, Wang Zhengchuan's heart leaped to his throat. His heartbeat accelerated instantly, and an enormous pressure surged over him, stifling his breath!

In this moment, he almost believed that Luo Lie was about to pull the trigger, and a powerful wave of fear surged up inside him.

Could it be that everything Luo Lie said was true!?

Could it be that Shadow Sword's leader, Qin Ge, was really willing to kill him to protect Lu Yu?

At this moment, Wang Zhengchuan had never felt the threat of death so closely. He had never felt the call of the Grim Reaper like this!

He almost seemed to hear the Reaper whispering in his ear. He could even foresee the bullet entering his brow in the next second!

No one in this world is unafraid of death. Those who claim not to fear death have simply never felt the terror of it!

Under this overpowering sense of dread, Wang Zhengchuan couldn't muster an ounce of strength. He could no longer support himself, his knees went weak, and he directly knelt to the ground!

And in the instant he knelt, a warm, foul-smelling yellow stream flowed uncontrollably from his pants leg, quickly enveloping the entire corridor of the Ministry of State Security in its stench!

Confronted with the threat of death, Wang Zhengchuan finally succumbed to this fear and was literally scared to wet himself!

The distinguished director of the Lin'an City Ministry of State Security was now scared to the point of wetting himself in front of his subordinates, an utterly disgraceful act!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity, peeing yourself before dying,"

Seeing Wang Zhengchuan in this state, Lu Yu said calmly, "No need to waste words on him, just finish him off!"

"No problem!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Luo Lie replied and was about to exert force with his finger when Wang Zhengchuan spoke up, "I'll talk!"

"Oh?"

Hearing Wang Zhengchuan, Luo Lie stopped his action and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Mr. Lu hit my son at the 4S shop, so I framed him with the charge of intentional injury..."

Wang Zhengchuan knelt on the ground, his face ashen, and spoke in a low voice: "It was all me abusing my power, seeking malicious revenge..."

Now Wang Zhengchuan knew that once he confessed Lu Yu's assault, his abuse of power and malicious revenge would be immediately exposed. Thus, he chose to confess his own crimes directly!

"A disgrace to the Ministry of State Security!"

Upon hearing Wang Zhengchuan's words, Luo Lie spoke coldly, a tinge of disgust in his voice.

Knowing that because of Wang Zhengchuan's foolish actions, the entire Lin'an City Ministry of State Security personnel were nearly subjected to disaster, if he hadn't been there, offending Lu Yu might have led to unimaginable consequences!

Arriving at this thought, Luo Lie turned to Lu Yu and said, "I sincerely apologize. You can rest assured that I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you a satisfactory answer!"

"No need for a reply; everything is already clear. The instigator has been duly punished. You just need to severely punish Wang Zhengchuan!"

Lu Yu's voice was indifferent, conveying an impression of substantial calmness.

"Absolutely, Wang Zhengchuan, this disgrace, I will report this matter immediately to ensure his appropriate punishment!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu, Luo Lie swiftly replied.

Abusing power, malicious revenge—the charges against Wang Zhengchuan being reported will definitely lead to his dismissal and several years of imprisonment without any chance of escape!

"Now do you see why I don't like dealing with your official organizations?"

Upon hearing Luo Lie, Lu Yu gave a cold smile and said, "I dislike your governmental organizations because they're full of people feeding off the system, doing little of real work. Wang Zhengchuan isn't an exception. Today he encountered me and ended up like this. If he faced an ordinary, defenseless person, the outcome wouldn't need my further explanation, would it?"

This time, if Lu Yu wasn't so powerful, the event wouldn't have unfolded like this. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been beaten beyond recognition and lost consciousness long ago!

"Remember to tell Qin Ge after this, that I'm temporarily not considering joining Shadow Sword!"

Lu Yu cast a deep look at Luo Lie and remarked before turning to leave the Ministry of State Security.

Hearing Lu Yu's statement, Luo Lie couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

Convincing Lu Yu to join Shadow Sword was already an incredibly challenging task. After much effort, a slight possibility of negotiation and reconciliation arose.

But now, thanks to Wang Zhengchuan, all his previous efforts turned to dust, leaving Luo Lie notably infuriated.

Thinking of this, Luo Lie suddenly turned and mercilessly kicked Wang Zhengchuan in the face.

Bam!

With a dull thud, blood splattered from Wang Zhengchuan's face, and his body fell backward, his head striking the ground, knocking him unconscious!
