Let them show off first

Wu Shangyin and the others were waiting anxiously in the conference room.

"I wonder if Brother Li Jingshan can get it done."

"Sigh, it should be fine. After all, Li Jingshan's disciple Tang Qiu has such a good relationship with Ye Chen, and on top of that, Brother Li Jingshan is so trusted by Ye Chen."

"I've also investigated this. Tang Qiu met Ye Chen back when he was LV7, and their relationship is excellent. Their bond is definitely not something Thunder Cloud or the others can compare to. Love me, love my dog, right? Because of this, Ye Chen will surely respect Li Jingshan greatly, and he should completely trust whatever Li Jingshan says."

At this moment, Li Jingshan walked into the conference room.

Seeing Li Jingshan enter, Wu Shangyin hurriedly went up to meet him with a fawning and flattering expression: "Old Li, come, come, sit down first."

Li Jingshan glanced at Wu Shangyin, feeling some disdain in his heart. Previously, they had all called him 'Old Man Li' or 'old geezer', but now, they were calling him 'Old Li' with every breath.

But this also went to show that deep in their hearts, they had a profound fear of Ye Chen.

Killing Jin Bing, who was LV24, in two strikes—who wouldn't be afraid of that?

After Li Jingshan sat down, Wu Shangyin asked impatiently: "Old Li, hehe, how did it go? What did Ye Chen say?"

The others also looked over, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Li Jingshan cleared his throat and said arrogantly: "With me on the case, is there anything that can't be solved? After I did some persuading, analyzing, adding fuel to the fire, and exaggerating, painting Rasha as heinous and unforgivable—you guys don't know—after Ye Chen heard it, he cursed Rasha out, calling him a piece of trash, saying he didn't know someone's true face despite knowing their name, and said he would strip Rasha of his position immediately!"

"Ah!" The crowd was overjoyed, their expressions immediately becoming excited.

"Hahaha, Old Li, you're awesome! It really has to be you; anyone else wouldn't have been able to do it!"

"Old Li, you're top-tier!"

"Old Li, you're tough!"

"Old Li, you're both top-tier and tough!"

Wu Shangyin's hanging heart finally dropped, and he laughed: "As expected, ginger is still spicier when old. With Old Li on the case, one is worth two. There's nothing Old Li can't accomplish. Old Li, rest assured, from now on we will absolutely cooperate with your work. You will be our boss; whatever you tell us to do, we will do!"

Monkey chuckled: "Old Li, how old are you this year?"

Li Jingshan knew this monkey wasn't planning anything good, but since Ye Chen had given instructions, he had to do his job well, right? Li Jingshan laughed: "What do you mean forty-something? I'm fifty-two this year!"

"Oh my, I really couldn't tell. Looking at how vibrant and spirited you are, Old Li, I would have thought you were forty-two. Don't you all agree!"

The crowd immediately chimed in.

"Yes, yes, yes. Really, I always thought Old Li was in his forties. I didn't expect you to be fifty-two. I really couldn't tell!"

"It's really impossible to tell!"

Monkey chuckled: "Old Li, from now on I won't call you Old Li. You're the same age as my dad, so from now on, you're my dad—my godfather!"

The crowd was stunned; they hadn't expected Monkey to be so shameless.

"Monkey, you..."

Monkey immediately said: "What about it? I've never had a father since I was little. Seeing Old Li makes me feel so close to him. What's wrong with acknowledging him as my godfather!"

The crowd immediately shut their mouths.

Li Jingshan watched them, feeling it was quite funny. These things had come to find him early this morning, and when he was a bit reluctant, they had even threatened him.

But now, their ugly faces—truly, they changed their faces faster than turning a book page.

Li Jingshan suddenly stood up: "Alright, you can rest easy. I'm going to go find Qiu'er again now to see if I can get Rasha and the others kicked out of the Safe Zone. Ye Chen can't possibly guard this Safe Zone forever. When the time comes, we will still be the masters here, and from now on, the Law Enforcement Alliance will be run by me!"

"Good, good, good!" The crowd was immediately overjoyed.

"Thanks for your hard work, Old Li!"

"Take care, Old Li!"

Li Jingshan waved his hand to signal them to stop, then turned and left.

After Li Jingshan left, the crowd let out a long sigh of relief and burst into laughter.

"I told you, this thing definitely wouldn't be a problem!"

"That's right, haha. Now we can finally rest easy. This Law Enforcement Alliance is still ours. As long as we honor Li Jingshan more in the future and keep him happy, we can continue doing our business!"

"That's true. As long as Old Man Li Jingshan is here, the Law Enforcement Alliance won't be turned upside down!"

One person asked weakly: "Are you guys still planning to continue doing these things?"

"So what? Why stand when you can sit? We can lie here and level up, so why go out to hunt monsters? Ridiculous, what's the big deal about that!"

Wu Shangyin snorted coldly: "You need to know that being alive is what matters most. Those people are all our tools. Our living comfortably is the most critical thing. Last time the monsters sieged the city, I didn't even go. If it had been breached, I would have turned around and left!"

"But aren't you afraid of being exposed?"

Wu Shangyin said dismissively: "What's there to be afraid of? Besides, this world is about to undergo a massive change. When that happens, we can just make them hand over their treasures. You've all seen the news; I checked it yesterday. Refining equipment, experience, and all that requires a Pill Furnace and such. That stuff isn't cheap, and everything requires gold coins. From now on, we won't take experience capsules; we'll make them hand over gold coins!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"What about Green Devil and the others?"

Wu Shangyin's face darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "For Green Devil and the others, you guys find evidence against them, give it to Li Jingshan, and then have Old Li hand it over to Ye Chen. Then, have Old Li add fuel to the fire. With Ye Chen's temper, they definitely won't survive."

The crowd's eyes lit up.

"Yes, this move is good! This move of borrowing a knife to kill is well used. Brother Wu is truly wise!"

Hearing the praise from the crowd, Wu Shangyin immediately laughed, feeling very clever himself.

Wu Shangyin snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "Hmph, no matter how powerful Ye Chen is, he's just a brat. He's still prone to acting on impulse without using his brain; he's still too green. As long as we do things right, we might even be able to make Ye Chen our tool. When the great change comes, there will definitely be some magical items. Let's see if there's anything that can control people. When the time comes, we'll make Ye Chen our dog, and then won't he be ours to manipulate?"

After Wu Shangyin finished speaking, he chuckled happily.

The others immediately gave him a thumbs up, praising Wu Shangyin for his wisdom.

Li Jingshan was hiding outside the conference room door and hadn't left; he had heard the conversation inside clearly.

Li Jingshan shook his head helplessly and cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of idiots. The more arrogant you are now, the more miserably you will die later. I guarantee your deaths will exceed your imagination. Gold will always shine, and ashes will always be scattered! Hahaha!"

Li Jingshan walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.

In his eyes, he despised these people from the bottom of his heart.
