17: What good person can someone wearing gold-rimmed glasses be?

Zhao Li was stunned by the scene before her.

“He… he really is only at the Blood Qi Realm?”

Her heart trembled, feeling both relieved and a little worried.

Inspectors held great power, being a special department set up by the Night Watch Division specifically to oversee the daily conduct of Law Enforcers.

Offending them was akin to offending the Night Watch Division.

Zhao Li subconsciously reached out to pull Lu Ming, but the violent aura made her fingertips tingle.

Wang Yaowen’s mouth was wide open, his large face flushed red.

This… this… this was so much more satisfying than the cool stories he’d imagined!

The surrounding Law Enforcement Team members, who had been watching the commotion, were utterly silent.

Someone’s document “clattered” to the ground, the sound particularly jarring in the hall.

Everyone knew that Zhang Tao was strong, and with his status as an Inspector, he had always walked with an air of arrogance at headquarters.

But now, he was being trampled underfoot by a newly recruited rookie?

Had the world gone mad?

“You… you know who I am?” Zhang Tao’s voice squeezed out from under Lu Ming’s foot, filled with incredulous fear and venom.

Lu Ming pressed down slightly with his foot, and with a soft “crack,” Zhang Tao’s sternum seemed to split.

He leaned down, the bloody lightning in his eyes not yet dissipated: “I know, a running dog of the Myriad Gods Sect, arrest him!”

Wang Yaowen and the other person were stunned.

“No, Team Leader Lu, are you serious?”

“Hmm?” Lu Ming glanced at them lightly.

“Understood, Team Leader Lu!”

Only then did Wang Yaowen snap out of it, unfastening the alloy handcuffs from his waist and rushing forward.

Zhang Tao was pinned to the ground, the immense humiliation making his chest heave.

But what chilled him even more was Lu Ming’s insistence that he was a Myriad Gods Sect cultist.

Damn it, what should he do?

He was genuinely anxious now!

He had originally intended to use this opportunity to humiliate that woman and subtly probe whether Li Mo had divulged any secrets.

He never expected this hothead to expose him at the slightest provocation.

Crucially, he was right!

“How dare you slander me! Don’t you know I am an Inspector dispatched by the Night Watch Division! If you dare touch me, you are making an enemy of the entire Night Watch Division!”

Wang Yaowen paid no heed to his words, grabbing his arm and twisting it backward.

Zhang Tao screamed in pain, and the moment his wrist was “clicked” into the alloy handcuffs, the spiritual energy in his body rapidly deflated like a punctured balloon, and his strength, which he had intended to use to resist, vanished without a trace.

“Take him away!”

Wang Yaowen roared, dragging Zhang Tao, who was like a dead dog, towards the interrogation room.

As he passed the still-dazed Inspection Team members, he deliberately bumped one of them on the shoulder, his eyes practically overflowing with triumph.

“So satisfying!”

“Following Team Leader Lu, you get three crazy meals a day!”

This move completely swept away years of pent-up frustration for him!

The surrounding Law Enforcement Team members then erupted, whispers surging like a tide.

“My heavens, this rookie really dares!”

“Zhang Tao has a significant background; isn’t he afraid of being retaliated against?”

“Afraid of what?! Didn’t you hear? Inspector Zhang is from the Myriad Gods Sect! Such scum deserves to be dealt with like this!”

“Myriad Gods Sect, my ass, are you stupid? It’s clearly slander.”

Zhao Li stood still, looking at Lu Ming’s tall back, her eyes complex.

Things seemed to have escalated.

But no matter what, she would protect Lu Ming.

She quickly pulled out her phone, made a call, and then hurried to catch up.

“Lu Ming.” Zhao Li quickly walked beside Lu Ming, her voice extremely low, “When the leader comes later, don’t say anything. Just leave it to me.”

Lu Ming paused slightly, turning his head to look at her.

Her delicate profile was cool white under the hallway lights, her cool little face very serious.

“No, what exactly is this woman imagining?”

Lu Ming’s mouth twitched, and he waved his hand casually, explaining:

“You can rest assured about this; this kid definitely has problems. Gold-rimmed glasses on his head, he’s either a scumbag or a villain!”

The moment he made contact, Lu Ming was certain that Zhang Tao was involved with the Myriad Gods Sect.

Because the Yin energy in his body was almost identical to Li Mo’s!

Lu Ming was already fuming because Li Mo, that big fish, had suddenly died.

Who knew these scumbags wouldn’t even keep a low profile, but openly provoke him?

Did they really think he was a pushover?

“Ah?”

Zhao Li’s cool little face showed some surprise; she looked at Lu Ming’s back, her brows slightly furrowed, her heart full of questions.

But Lu Ming seemed unwilling to explain further, dragging Zhang Tao into the interrogation room.

Lights off, power cut.

Zhang Tao panicked.

“Stop! You can’t do this to me!!!”

“Lu Ming, you are abusing your authority, ah!!!! Stop!! I…”

“Ah!!!! I told you I’ll confess!!!”

…Ten minutes later.

The door to the interrogation room opened.

Lin Haowen wiped the blood from his hands and put a cigarette in his mouth.

This time, Zhao Li did not stop him.

Lu Ming, however, gave him a strange look.

“You say all these people’s names have ‘Wen’ in them, but why are they so ruthless when they start fighting?”

After one application of the Grand Memory Restoration Technique, Zhang Tao even confessed the color of his underwear.

And the others stared at Lu Ming with even greater horror.

How exactly did he discover that Zhang Tao had problems?

A dignified Inspector of the Law Enforcement Team was actually a mole for the Myriad Gods Sect!

What confused them even more was that Team Leader Zhou was also a hidden agent of the Myriad Gods Sect.

Because over the years, he had gained many resources by selling the blood of Soul-Devouring Beasts, and after his strength surged, he gradually became uncontrollable.

“You, a cultist, also want to whitewash yourself?”

“Would the brothers let you live a good life?”

So Zhang Tao was sent by the Myriad Gods Sect to clean up and take over Team Leader Zhou’s position.

And Li Mo was just an accidental pawn he had dropped.

The truth finally came out.

For a moment, the eyes of Zhao Li and the other two looking at Lu Ming were as if they had seen a ghost.

The Myriad Gods Sect could be considered to have had terrible luck, encountering a pervert like Lu Ming.

In just one day, three moles were dug out.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy shielding array in the interrogation room had been activated beforehand, otherwise Li Mo’s fate would have been a vivid reminder.

Wang Yaowen held the names of several accomplices confessed by Zhang Tao, his hands trembling.

This immenseMerit, it was finally our Fourth Squad’s turn!

“Thank you, Zhang Tao! Team Leader Lu is awesome!”

Just as the few of them were excited, Captain Liu, the team leader, rushed over upon hearing the news, and beside him stood a portly middle-aged man.

From his appearance, he had come to demand an explanation.

His name was Lin Qiming, the head of the Inspection Team.

Seeing the Fourth Squad members all crowded at the entrance of the interrogation room, Captain Liu’s temples on his forehead throbbed.

“Good heavens, this kid is too ruthless. I hope he didn’t beat him too badly, otherwise it will be a bit difficult to manage.”

“Where is Zhang Tao?” Lin Qiming’s face twitched, carrying an undeniable pressure.

Lu Ming calmly raised his eyes and pointed to the interrogation room: “There, he’s inside.”

“How dare you privately use torture!” Lin Qiming’s face turned extremely gloomy when he saw Zhang Tao’s miserable state.

Captain Liu quickly smoothed things over, rubbing his hands and smiling: “Chief Lin, calm down, it’s normal for young people to bicker and fight. I’ll criticize them severely later.”

Lin Qiming’s face twitched, momentarily speechless.

“You call this bickering? Do you want to see the dozen or so depleted new energy sources on the ground?”

Lu Ming almost couldn’t hold back; he didn’t expect this old man to be so protective.

To avoid making things difficult for Captain Liu, he simply stopped beating around the bush and directly threw out Zhang Tao’s confession.

“Report, Captain Liu!”

“Zhang Tao has confessed everything!”

“Confessed?… Confessed what?” Captain Liu’s eyes first widened, and he took the confession with a mix of doubt and belief.

Then, his face gradually darkened.

“You few, come with me first!”
