Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 41 Super Sensation Fluid
Night fills the air.

A black private car drove into the underground parking lot of Qingtai Hotel and stopped near the VIP elevator.

Two people got out of the car. One was a tall and thin man in a black suit with a cold expression. The other was a young man in sportswear wearing a baseball cap and a mask. His face could not be seen clearly.

"I'll wait for you here, go ahead." The tall and thin man said expressionlessly.

The young man in sportswear looked around, pressed down the brim of his cap to cover his face as much as possible, and then walked towards the VIP elevator in the underground parking lot.

After passing the iris recognition, the young man in sportswear walked into the elevator.

The elevator doors closed and began to descend rapidly.

When the elevator stopped and opened its door again, it had landed in a long and dark corridor.

At the end of the passage is a metal gate.

The young man in sportswear walked to the door at the end and passed the iris and fingerprint recognition again.

After the door opened, an empty lobby could be seen. Following the signs, one could reach the rest area, loan office, entertainment venue and other areas. However, at this moment, it was empty and no one was seen.

The young man in sportswear walked into the employee passage, and soon came to an unmarked office and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

A lazy female voice sounded.

In the antique office, candlelight flickers and sandalwood incense wafts.

A woman wearing a retro-style cheongsam with a black background and gold patterns was leaning lazily on the sofa. She looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with a graceful and enchanting figure, a mature and charming temperament, and a slender jade pipe in her hand. Her eyes were a little blurred under the smoke.

"Sister Yang." The young man in sportswear walked over and sat down opposite.

"Xiao Peidong, didn't you say it's best not to meet?"

The cheongsam woman known as Sister Yang glanced at him lazily and said, "You are still covering yourself up so tightly when you come to my place? After wearing the public skin, you have become more and more cowardly."

Xiao Peidong frowned and said, "If I'm discovered, I'll be in trouble, so I have to be careful."

Sister Yang bit the jade cigarette holder and took a puff, then said, "Captain Xiao, what can I do for you tonight?"

"I'm in trouble."

Xiao Peidong said in a low voice: "I need your Yuanhong Society's help, otherwise if this continues, I may not be able to hold on to my position as captain."

Sister Yang glanced at him and said, "I have helped you with everything I should have done. After Chu Tianyao escaped from Qinghu Island Prison, he lay dormant in the dark for so long. The first time I took action was to help you get this position. What else do you want?"

"But he didn't kill Chen Yanan." Xiao Peidong frowned.

"kill?"

Sister Yang smiled, "As an inspector, you should know best that an inspector being injured and an inspector being killed are two completely different things. Once Chen Yanan dies, the inspection headquarters will definitely send people to conduct a thorough investigation, and then there will be a lot of trouble."

She looked at Xiao Peidong with interest. "Are you going to drag the entire Yuanhong Society with you just to keep you seated?"

"Wouldn't it be better for us to stay in hiding for the time being while the inspection headquarters comes to investigate?" Xiao Peidong frowned.

"Retreat and lie dormant?"

Sister Yang sneered, "Do you know how much money my Yuanhong Society earns every day? Do you know that because of your Captain Xiao's righteous speech at the commendation meeting today, saying that he would thoroughly investigate the crimes in Xiaoshan District, the guests of my boxing ring have heard the news and dared not come these days?"

She knocked the pipe on the table and said calmly, "I remember all the money I lost in the past few days, Captain Xiao."

"What can I do?"

Xiao Peidong frowned slightly, "The son of the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau has been found, and the assassins from the Dark Star Society you hired failed to silence him. Do I have to pretend that nothing is wrong and continue to cover for you?"

"This is also your problem." Sister Yang glanced at him coldly, "You don't even know the strength of Lin Qing in your team, and you still have the nerve to blame me?"

Xiao Peidong's frown deepened.

"He's a newcomer, who knew he could survive the attack of three professional hunters from the Dark Star Society? And he even saved two of them?"

Xiao Peidong said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that as long as the Dark Star Society takes action, it will be a sure kill? What's the result now? The Dark Star Society didn't give an explanation?"

Sister Yang was silent for a moment, then said, "The Dark Star Society has given up on this mission."

"give up?"

Xiao Peidong frowned and said, "I remember that when the Dark Star assassins were carrying out missions, there would be stronger assassins acting as supervisors, right? Why didn't the supervisors take action?"

"What's the point of asking me? The boss just gave me the opportunity to contact the Dark Star Society."

Sister Yang snorted and said, "The Dark Star Society said that the Supervisor disappeared inexplicably. He was an elite assassin, as powerful as you, but he just disappeared so suddenly without any trace."

"Evaporated?" Xiao Peidong was stunned. "Lin Qing only mastered one combat method. How could he kill an elite assassin from the Dark Star Society? Even I can't do it."

"We didn't find any signs of a fight at the scene. There must be other reasons why Lin Qing survived." Sister Yang said coldly.

"What's the reason?" Xiao Peidong frowned.

"How do I know this?"

Sister Yang said, "For example... Did Chief Patrol Officer Yuan Anping happen to pass by nearby? Or did he even happen to run into those hidden stowaways? Or maybe the Supervisor staged his own death in order to escape from the organization?"

Xiao Peidong was silent for a moment, then said, "No matter what, this Lin Qing is indeed a threat to me. You Yuanhong Society have to help me."

"threaten?"

Sister Yang laughed mockingly, "It's fine if his sister Chen Yanan is a threat to you, but is he, a patrol officer who has just been promoted to a full-time position for a month, also a threat to you?"

Xiao Peidong said coldly: "He has been practicing combat techniques for less than a month, and he has mastered one combat technique in such a short time. Today he has learned a second one, so it won't take too long for him to master it."

"Moreover, he has clearly received a bounty of 400,000 yuan, but he did not buy the high-energy sustained-release liquid. This means that his level 46 training method must have reached its limit, and he may have even reached level 77 training method!"

Xiao Peidong took a deep breath, "Now his merits are enough. Once he masters two combat methods, he will be the new vice-captain!"

Sister Yang frowned slightly.

"You know."

Xiao Peidong stared at Sister Yang. "He's so young, and he's a native of Xiaoshan District. Once he's promoted to patrol officer and becomes deputy captain, Chen Yanan will definitely report and support him. Unless I've become a regular captain, the Municipal Bureau will definitely remove me as the acting captain and choose him to be the captain!"

He said slowly, "The boss asked me to start from Xiaoshan District and take charge of the patrols in Lin'an City. He also wants me to be promoted to the position of captain. But if I can't even do this first step, forget about the future."

Sister Yang frowned, as if thinking about something.

She pondered for a while and said, "The boss only gave me three chances to command Chu Tianyao. I've already used it once to seriously injure Chen Yanan. Do you want to use it again on Lin Qing? Don't you think it's a waste?"

"No."

Xiao Peidong immediately said: "A combat genius like him, if he dies, it might attract the attention of the headquarters, so we can't just kill him casually."

"He hasn't become the deputy captain yet. Even if he does, the worst that can happen is that you change districts, to other districts in Lin'an City, isn't that okay?" Sister Yang glanced at him.

"You mean, watching him take the throne?"

Xiao Peidong sneered, "He also knows about the underground boxing ring, and his sister was injured while investigating the group of people you collected. Do you think he will give up the investigation of Yuanhong Society after he takes over?"

Sister Yang frowned slightly and said, "Then what do you want?"

“Three roads.”

Xiao Peidong said in a low voice, "First, your Yuanhong Society has abandoned the underground boxing arena. It just so happens that I will come to search tomorrow, so I can take advantage of the situation to make a contribution. You can arrange for a part of them to evacuate in advance, which will be enough for me to get two second-class merits. I will think of a way, and I hope to be promoted within a month."

"impossible!"

Sister Yang sneered, "Don't dream. Do you know how much money my underground boxing ring has made for the boss? Are you going to give it up just to let you make a contribution?"

Xiao Peidong knew that she would not agree, and his expression showed no surprise.

He said in a deep voice: "Then let's go with the second option. Prepare five sets of EPS series high-energy sustained-release liquid and one set of super-sensory liquid for me. If I can practice the original Chaoyang training method, then it will be fine."

"EPS series of high-energy sustained-release liquid?"

Sister Yang frowned and said, "Don't you know this is contraband? Do you want me to buy it at the Dragon Lock Black Market? The price there is several times higher than the original price at the Patrol Headquarters. A set costs at least 20 million!"

She looked at Xiao Peidong coldly, "As for the super-sensory fluid? You can't even do the first step of the original Chaoyang training method?"

"I still need some time, and the boss originally asked you to prepare a portion of super-sensory essence for me." Xiao Peidong said.

"The prerequisite is that you become a regular employee and have the opportunity to become the captain!" Sister Yang said coldly.

"If I can be converted to a regular employee, it will be given to me sooner or later. What's wrong with giving it to me in advance and letting me be converted smoothly?" Xiao Peidong said in a low voice.

He looked at Sister Yang: "Either you waste an opportunity to order Chu Tianyao and let Lin Qing become like Chen Yanan."

Sister Yang fell silent.

After thinking for a moment, she took a deep breath and said, "The EPS series of high-energy sustained-release liquid will be available to you in a few days, but the super-sensory original liquid will take time, probably half a month."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Xiao Peidong stood up and turned away.
