The Sin Is Heinous

Luo Cha's expression was somewhat unnatural, appearing rather reserved.

Seeing Luo Cha's flustered appearance, Ye Chen asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

Luo Cha glanced into the room and said, "Is it convenient for you to come out? I have something to tell you."

Ye Chen nodded and followed Luo Cha out the door.

They went outside, found a secluded spot, and sat down.

"What is it?"

Luo Cha seemed conflicted, hesitating for a long time before saying, "There is a matter, sigh!"

Luo Cha let out a sharp sigh and slapped his thigh.

"What happened?" Ye Chen became even more curious.

"Last night, my former Minister found me and told me something."

Listening to the tone of Luo Cha's voice and seeing his conflicted expression, Ye Chen could guess that it definitely wasn't a good thing.

"In this Law Enforcement Alliance, the Ministers and those above them could previously be described as a criminal syndicate! They were even more detestable than other Alliances!"

Ye Chen's brows furrowed instantly.

Luo Cha continued, "You wouldn't know, but they actually had their own industrial chain, which was originally spearheaded by Zhang Yun. These people never went out to hunt monsters. The reason they leveled up so quickly was because they set a rule for their subordinates: everyone had to hand over four Experience Capsules every week. Everyone had to hand them over! Brother Chen, you should understand the implications of this!"

Ye Chen's expression darkened; how could he not understand?

Handing over four Experience Capsules meant that each of them had to kill at least four Pet Masters!

"That is the reason why they leveled up so quickly. Furthermore, they made their subordinates commit crimes in other places; the purpose of this was to cover their tracks so the people above wouldn't find out!"

As Luo Cha spoke, his fists clenched, and his anger was written all over his Face.

"And that's not all. They also exploited members, implementing a rule of taking two out of every ten. They are simply not human, killing the innocent and plundering the people's wealth—these are all the 'good deeds' they did. Yesterday, Green Devil, Hong Shan, and Spider—five of them—found me and voluntarily reported to me, hoping I could give them a chance and spare their lives! Brother Chen, although Green Devil was my former Minister, you should handle this however you see fit!"

Although Luo Cha spoke quite candidly, Ye Chen understood that since Luo Cha had come over so urgently early in the morning, he naturally hoped that he wouldn't make things too difficult for them.

For the sake of the connections involved, Ye Chen knew what he had to do.

At this moment, Li Jingshan ran over in a hurry.

He arrived in front of Ye Chen and just as he was about to say something, he saw Luo Cha standing nearby and closed his mouth.

Ye Chen glanced at Li Jingshan and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. We are all our own people; there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Li Jingshan hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Leader Ye, I have something I would like to report to you."

Ye Chen looked at Li Jingshan; Li Jingshan's expression was somewhat uneasy, appearing rather reserved.

"Is it about the matter regarding Wu Shangyin and those Ministers and Elders?" Ye Chen asked suspiciously.

"Uh!"

Li Jingshan was stunned for a moment, but eventually nodded.

"Speak. Luo Cha just happened to come over to talk about this matter as well."

Li Jingshan was even more stunned and stared blankly at Luo Cha.

Gritting his teeth, Li Jingshan said, "Leader Ye, it is like this: early this morning, Wu Shangyin and some other Elders and Ministers came to me, using the things I did in the past to blackmail me, wanting me to whisper in your ear to remove Luo Cha from his position as General Commander. You already know about the things I did in the past..."

Li Jingshan said a lot, and what he said was almost identical to what Luo Cha had said.

The only difference was regarding some other things he had done in the past.

After finishing, Li Jingshan stood there, motionless.

Ye Chen leaned back in his chair and smiled, "It seems that the upper echelons of this Law Enforcement Alliance are completely rotten. The members of this Law Enforcement Alliance are living in dire straits."

"Indeed, that is also the reason why the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance has the fewest members. Many Pet Masters would inexplicably leave the Law Enforcement Alliance."

What Li Jingshan said was absolutely correct; the Aggregated Zone Law Enforcement Alliance had the fewest people of all the local Law Enforcement Alliances.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and instructed, "Luo Cha, go back and find Green Devil and the others. Tell them I'm giving them a chance to redeem themselves. Have them gather evidence, find those persecuted Law Enforcement Alliance members, and have them draft a formal accusation. If this matter is done well, I will let bygones be bygones."

Luo Cha's expression brightened, and he quickly said, "Yes, rest assured, I will definitely get this done!"

Ye Chen nodded, and Luo Cha got up to handle it.

Li Jingshan still stood respectfully in place, waiting for Ye Chen's instructions.

"Uncle Li, go back and tell Wu Shangyin and the others that you have already persuaded me. Say I am very angry, say that I, um, say that I scolded Luo Cha severely and decided to remove him from his position as General Commander. Pacify them first to avoid any unexpected incidents."

Li Jingshan immediately said yes and turned to leave.

Li Jingshan was now quite vigorous in his work; the previous appearance of a stooped old man had vanished without a trace. Now, he looked full of energy, as if he were ten years younger.

To put it plainly, he was a power-hungry person. Now that he held great power, he was naturally full of drive.

Ye Chen didn't take any action and remained sitting there, thinking about something.

As soon as Luo Cha walked to a corner, Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud immediately asked, "Luo Cha, what did Brother Chen say?"

The expressions of the two were also somewhat tense.

This matter was of great importance after all. They hadn't expected that the Ministers who previously appeared upright and very righteous would actually do such things.

They were both Captains, and not a single subordinate had told them about this matter.

The Ministers had treated them quite well, and in their hearts, their own Ministers were still very good people. After this happened, they were also very angry, but due to past relationships, they found it hard not to help.

Last night, after the five, including Green Devil, finished finding Luo Cha, they actually went to find Devouring Sky Tiger and Thunder Cloud to plead for mercy.

Luo Cha's expression was gloomy as he explained Ye Chen's arrangements.

The hearts of the two, which had been hanging, were finally put at ease.

Devouring Sky Tiger sighed, "It's good enough that they can live. Having done such conscience-less things, it's already very good that Brother Chen can leave them a way to survive."

"Indeed, what kind of Law Enforcement Alliance Ministers are they, to do such things? It is truly, sigh!"

Luo Cha was somewhat helpless. He had only taken office yesterday, and today such a thing had happened, which put him in a very difficult position.

As the General Commander of the Law Enforcement Alliance, logically speaking, he should treat everyone equally, but Luo Cha's heart was ultimately a bit too soft.

"Neither of you should just stand around; go handle it together. Brother Chen is doing this entirely for our sake. If it weren't for us, given Brother Chen's personality, they would definitely not survive!"

Devouring Sky Tiger and the other nodded, "Alright, we will go handle it now. We definitely won't make Brother Chen lose Face!"

At this moment, Li Jingshan had already arrived at the door of the conference room.
