92: Blind

“Oh? Is what he said true?” Captain Wang asked, glancing sideways at Liu Jiangyi.

“He’s completely stirring up trouble. They all saw everything that just happened. You can ask them.”

Liu Jiangyi said, pointing to the onlookers.

Hearing this, Captain Wang immediately looked around and asked, “What just happened?”

“Huh? What? I’m blind, I didn’t see anything.”

“I just got here, what happened?”

“Didn’t see, didn’t see. We’re all just passing by.”

The crowd shook their heads, admitting nothing.

They knew well the saying, 'trouble comes from the mouth.'

So they chose to play dumb.

“Looks like there are no witnesses?” Captain Wang deliberately raised his voice.

Hearing this, a group of shop assistants immediately spoke up.

“We saw it! That guy wanted to dine and dash!”

“That’s right, he opened the stone without paying, and then he wanted to fight!”

“Captain Wang, please investigate! Quickly arrest this scoundrel!”

Hearing this, Captain Wang nodded slightly. “So many witnesses can prove it’s your problem. Then you’ll have to come with me.”

Liu Jiangyi’s expression changed. “They are all that boss’s assistants. Can their words be trusted?”

“Hmm?” Captain Wang glared, “Are you questioning me, questioning the Law Enforcement Bureau?”

“Can you represent the Law Enforcement Bureau?”

“Nonsense!” Captain Wang said proudly, “I am the captain of the Third District of the Lower City Law Enforcement Bureau. If I can’t represent the Law Enforcement Bureau, can you?”

“If you don’t want to suffer physical pain, then obediently come with me, otherwise, you’ll regret it!”

“Hehe, they really are birds of a feather.” Liu Jiangyi laughed.

His laugh was peculiar, chilling.

Captain Wang suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

Actually, he didn’t want to come for this matter today.

The Bureau had a new Director, and a new official inevitably makes big changes.

Therefore, at this time, no one dared to be too presumptuous, for fear of being made an example of.

But this boss had given him too much before.

He also had leverage in this boss's hands.

He had no choice but to come.

Thump thump thump…

At this moment.

Another dense sound of horse hooves rang out.

These hooves were much more numerous than before; even the ground trembled with their pounding.

“What’s that noise!?”

“Could it be a beast attack on the city?”

“The Law Enforcement Bureau! It’s still people from the Law Enforcement Bureau!”

“Haven’t the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau already arrived? Why are more coming?”

“Holy cow! How many people are there? Fifty? A hundred? No, no, no! At least three hundred!”

The crowd was stunned, moving aside on both sides.

As far as the eye could see, even in broad daylight, the blue flames of the Blue Flame Horse illuminated the entire street in a deep blue.

Countless Blue Flame Horse galloped forth, then stopped steadily in front of the stall.

Everyone dismounted.

The black-clad man leading them strode forward, his face full of panic.

“Director Han? Why are you here?”

Deputy Director Han, one of the two Deputy Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Of course, Captain Wang recognized this important person.

He had given Deputy Director Han many benefits and was considered one of Deputy Director Han's people.

Deputy Director Han was also startled to see Captain Wang and asked, puzzled, “Why are you here?”

“I…”

“Good lad! You’re quick-witted!” Deputy Director Han directly interrupted Captain Wang, somewhat displeased. “You knew the Director was here, so you deliberately came to show off?”

“Director?” Captain Wang was stunned. “I didn’t see any Director.”

“Didn’t see?” Deputy Director Han was bewildered. “You didn’t come because of the Director?”

“I…” Captain Wang wanted to speak.

However, Deputy Director Han waved his hand, cutting him off.

“Never mind, never mind. Your matters are trivial; the Director’s matters are important.”

With that, Deputy Director Han hurried to the stall, then anxiously looked around.

“Eh? Where’s the Director?”

“He called and said he was here!”

Captain Wang asked, puzzled, “Director Han, have you made a mistake?”

“How could I be mistaken?” Deputy Director Han said unhappily. “This Director’s ears aren’t deaf.”

“The Director clearly said he was being troubled here by someone selling primordial stone and told us to come and collect the bodies of those people.”

“But the primordial stone seller is still here, so why isn’t the Director?”

Deputy Director Han was still utterly bewildered.

He didn’t notice.

Everyone, including Captain Wang, had changed their expressions!

They trembled as they looked at Liu Jiangyi, who had leisurely sat back down in his chair, and a panicked thought erupted in their hearts!

Could it be… he is the Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau?

No!

How could this be?

How could the esteemed Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau go out wearing animal skins?

But the problem is!

They had been here the whole time, and besides Liu Jiangyi, who else was being troubled by someone selling primordial stone?

Furthermore, there was only one place selling primordial stone on this street.

Could Deputy Director Han have come to the wrong place?

That’s even more impossible!

How could Deputy Director Han, the dignified Deputy Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, not even know his way around?

Suddenly!

Everyone thought of Liu Jiangyi’s extravagant spending!

Cold sweat broke out on their backs!

Perhaps!

Liu Jiangyi was not a nouveau riche at all.

His energy liquid had all come through legitimate channels.

If he was the Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, then everything made sense.

As for why he was wearing animal skins and dressed so shabbily.

Could it be an incognito inspection?

They say a new official makes big changes.

Perhaps this was his first big change?

Suddenly!

Everyone realized again.

They thought of Liu Jiangyi’s excitement when he lost the first and second rounds, and then of his composure during the third round of the competition.

They understood!

Everything became clear!

How could Liu Jiangyi not understand primordial stone? How could he be a brainless gambler, a foolish nouveau riche?

He was clearly luring them step by step, letting this foolish boss fall into his trap!

To call it entrapment would probably not be an exaggeration, right?

But the truth is.

If this boss had been upright, he wouldn't have been entrapped.

It was his greed that ruined him!

At this moment.

Deputy Director Han also noticed that everyone was staring in Liu Jiangyi’s direction.

He quickly looked, only to see two people wearing animal skins in front of him.

Deputy Director Han’s mind couldn’t process it.

He had noticed these two people earlier.

But he couldn’t connect these two people with the new Director!

But given the current situation, he had no choice but to believe it!

He rushed to Liu Jiangyi, trembling, and said, “You… are you Director Liu?”

Liu Jiangyi beckoned to Deputy Director Han.

Deputy Director Han immediately leaned in.

Liu Jiangyi patted Deputy Director Han’s face and said playfully, “Director Han, your eyesight isn’t very good. I’ll give you a saying, ‘blind to Mount Tai.’ You shouldn’t have any complaints, right?”

“The Law Enforcement Bureau is a place that upholds justice and distinguishes between loyalty and treachery. It concerns the safety and important matters of the people of Tianjiang City.”

“With your eyesight, I don’t think this Deputy Director position is very suitable for you.”

“How about this, I’ll give you a long vacation. You can go back and rest for a few years first.”
