Chapter 124 Underhanded Tactics to Drink Big Wine
Chapter 124 Underhanded Tactics to Drink Big Wine
When Su Chen came out of the basement, Gu Bing was still there. She had just finished organizing the documents. When she saw him come out, she couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Is everything alright?"
Su Chen was still figuring out how to report them. Reporting six core members at once, or writing anonymous letters, would obviously make him look foolish; they'd probably be thrown in the trash before they even reached the higher-ups.
Finding someone to file a complaint is too risky; you'll inevitably be investigated and the investigation will eventually find you.
Prolonged mental control can only be applied to ordinary third-tier professionals. Such individuals have little say in the courtroom, and even if controlled, they cannot say anything.
Hearing Gu Bing's words, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
"Then I'll be going now." Gu Bing had almost finished tidying up. She had come to report on who would be joining the camp next.
Before leaving, he made an appointment with Su Chen again. Since Su Chen had already joined the party, he had to meet him at least once.
After seeing Gu Bing off and closing the door, Su Chen had a sudden inspiration: "Back in Nanfeng, how did Zhou Xian report me again?"
"I found an acquaintance of mine who was suspected of being captured by Black Tuo and then released. He is related to the Ghost God Cult. Although Old Zhang was targeting me at the time, this method is better than anonymous letters."
“We can’t find any of Meng Qi’s acquaintances. If we have the chance, we can find a Black Tuo believer to report him. Anyway, we’ll have to find them next.”
Su Chen came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone, opened his bracelet, carefully considered his tone, and sent a message to Teng Liang.
His senior brother was Xia Hanshi's first student. He was originally one of the deputy directors of the disciplinary department, but later risked his life to forcibly advance to the Ancient Giant.
He became one of the honorary directors of the disciplinary department, holding a title but still wielding the power of a deputy director.
It wasn't until the next morning that he replied with a simple "okay".
When Su Chen opened the door, he saw a disciplinary squad already standing at his door, each of them wearing heavy judge armor, a total of fifteen people, in a solemn and silent atmosphere.
The team consists of three Tier 3 professionals, while the leader, a Tier 4 professional, has a long, diagonal scar on his face.
"You may call me Wu Yang." He said solemnly, "Unless there are new transfer orders, we will be responsible for your safety."
This was the matter he asked Teng Liang to do: to transfer an elite squad, ostensibly to protect his safety, but in reality, he wanted to take them out to wipe out the Black Tuo believers.
"Senior brother is so kind. A fourth-tier professional can even serve as a deputy director." Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, and only after inquiring carefully did he learn more.
Although Wu Yang is a fourth-tier professional, he is only a lower-level fourth-tier professional. He is nearly fifty years old and his potential has been basically exhausted. He holds the title of honorary deputy director, which is different from Zhao Gang's position.
"You've all worked hard..." Su Chen exchanged a few words with the group. Before any actual action was taken, they were stationed here, taking turns to be responsible for security.
This is already the core area of the courtroom, and having personnel stationed here for protection seems rather conspicuous.
While Su Chen was chatting with them, many judges on the road kept glancing over, wondering if something had happened.
"Su Chen..."
Suddenly someone called his name. Su Chen turned his head and glanced over. His eyelids twitched. It was Chu Xuan who was walking slowly from a distance with a kind smile on his face.
Is he okay?
Su Chen subconsciously thought of it, but then realized something was wrong. He turned and walked into the house, whispering, "Keep him outside."
"Su Chen... Su Chen..." Chu Xuan quickened his pace as he saw him turn and leave.
The passing judge couldn't help but feel disappointed, "I thought I would see a scene where they would forgive and forget each other."
"You've been watching too many TV dramas. Su Chen was just framed and tricked yesterday, and he's already gone today?" Someone next to him shook their head.
After Su Chen and Chu Xuan fought yesterday, a rumor suddenly appeared that Chu Xuan had been plotting for a long time and deliberately wanted to catch Su Chen off guard.
The previous talk of "arch-enemy" and "revenge" was all deliberately hyped up by someone, and the rumors were quite detailed and convincing.
"Stop." Wu Yang took a step forward and stopped Chu Xuan. "I'm sorry, Lord Su Chen is not seeing anyone for the time being."
"I wanted to apologize to him in person. I was blinded by my obsession before," Chu Xuan said sincerely.
But Wu Yang didn't care and wouldn't let him in. Helpless, Chu Xuan had no choice but to leave in front of everyone.
"Who exactly is this guy...?"
Su Chen watched Chu Xuan turn and leave through the door, a shadow falling over her heart.
He couldn't possibly be alone with this guy in one space, not to mention that the thing might be eyeing him.
If Chu Xuan were to suddenly die here, the mud would fall on his crotch, making him look like shit even if it wasn't. That would be disgusting.
"They probably wouldn't let Chu Xuan die so quickly," Su Chen speculated. He had just gone out with Meng Qi yesterday and then died, so Meng Qi was undoubtedly the first suspect.
The best course of action is to live a few more days and then die at a time when no one suspects Meng Qi.
"I can't let him disgust me. I need to show up frequently these few days to create an alibi for myself."
That evening, Su Chen invited several of the forces that Gu Zhengting had contacted to dinner at the courthouse.
They had originally arranged a place outside, but because of Chu Xuan's problem, Su Chen simply invited them to have dinner in the courtroom, since it was just a casual meeting anyway.
As night fell, a banquet was held in the villa, where representatives from several families gathered to express their deep concern for Su Chen and promise to do their best to meet his needs.
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, and they did not leave until late at night.
"Gu Zhengting picked some good people; he didn't make me give any promises on the spot." Su Chen rubbed his face, his head spinning. "The wine that Wang Yang brought must be quite precious. I'm already at the third level, yet I can still get drunk."
Early the next morning, Su Chen asked Zero to prepare the same breakfast for the judges on guard outside.
"Hmm... there are strong reactions in these places, but it's hard to pinpoint the exact locations, which is a bit troublesome..." Su Chen looked at the virtual map in front of him, which had three red circles.
Although it may seem small in size, it actually covers a large area.
These are the places he roughly estimated last night using the Black Priest's abilities, with the central area having the strongest sensation.
“But it’s not a good time for me to go out right now. I have to wait until Chu Xuan is dead…” Su Chen was thinking when he heard a commotion outside.
"Here we go again..." Su Chen walked to the window and saw that it was Chu Xuan, who was shouting something like "apology" while Wu Yang stopped him outside.
"This guy is determined to ruin me." Su Chen's expression was gloomy. Yesterday, when the other party came, he only had some guesses, but today, with the second visit, the other party's intentions were obvious.
Minglin walked over from a distance, his expression strange, and circled around before entering through the back door.
"What's wrong with this guy?" he asked as soon as he came in. "Was he really moved by your motivational speech?"
"Who knows, he might have been knocked silly." Su Chen shook his head, then changed the subject sincerely, "Thank you for your help."
"Help?" Minglin was taken aback, then chuckled, "You mean the recent rumors? It's nothing, but Wei Yufan actually managed to scheme against me, so of course I'm going to humiliate him."
"You're pretty ruthless, sending people to protect him inside the courtroom. Aren't you just trying to make things difficult for Wei Yu Fan?"
Many people believed that Su Chen's decision to assign people to protect Wei Yufan was intentional, meant to annoy him.
You're so powerful, even I have to be careful inside the courtroom.
"Anyway, it helped me vent my anger. Tonight, let's drink until we drop." Su Chen took out the bottles of wine that Wang Yang had left behind last night. "Drinking?" Ming Lin looked surprised. This was the first time Su Chen had ever taken the initiative to invite someone to drink.
He naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately started drinking.
It was only morning, but the two drank until night. Minglin, who was usually a gentle and refined person, was actually quite drunk, or perhaps he was just pretending. He even sternly criticized the current state of internal strife within Yingfeng.
He repeatedly used phrases like "If I were the chief..." to express his opinions, and then subtly inquired about Su Chen's top profession, but Su Chen knew nothing about it.
Finally, Minglin said with a hint of helplessness, "That old fox Wei Yufan is a real scoundrel. He leaked the news that he's going to advance to the fifth-tier profession."
"Advanced to the fifth rank?" Su Chen had just finished drinking the wine in his cup.
Minglin blushed and nodded, saying, "In this way, he will have the opportunity to refuse challenges for a short period of time. The challenge arena cannot suppress fifth-tier professionals. Once he successfully advances, it is equivalent to temporarily leaving the challenge ranking system."
"He's doing this on purpose so you can't get the top seed position."
"However, he was originally preparing for a promotion to a top-level position, and he has been preparing for two years. If he rushes into a promotion now, he will probably only be able to choose his superiors."
“There are quite a few methods…” Su Chen didn’t pay much attention and simply toasted with Ming Lin.
The two drank heavily for several days in a row. By the end, when Minglin arrived for the appointment, his face was green.
"I'm not drinking today, I'm not drinking..." Minglin waved his hands repeatedly, not because he couldn't drink, but because he was tired of drinking and didn't know what Su Chen wanted to do.
“Okay…” Su Chen looked disappointed and poured himself a drink.
Minglin finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Junior brother, just say what's on your mind. I'll help if I can, and if I can't, there's nothing I can do."
Su Chen said there was nothing he could do to help, and Ming Lin couldn't just watch him drink alone, so he had to drink with him.
At noon, however, came news that surprised both of them.
"Meng Qi has eliminated Feng Ze? He's become a core seed?" Zero's sudden report surprised Ming Lin.
He then opened his bracelet and received a detailed report from his subordinates. His expression grew increasingly astonished. "Meng Qi... he actually became the Bloodthirsty Butcher."
He exclaimed repeatedly, "The position of a core seed is really tempting. I've met him a few times. He's usually timid and hesitant, but I never expected him to have such courage."
“Yes…” Su Chen poured a drink, his eyes flashing. Meng Qi had become a core seed, so Chu Xuan would probably die soon.
Su Chen didn't know what Chu Xuan's current situation was, but it probably wouldn't last much longer. After drinking heavily for several days, he also felt exhausted.
But in the late afternoon, another message disrupted their drinking plans—
Reverence for Heaven simultaneously summons the six core seeds of today.
"Ha, the chief judge summoned us, we can't drink anymore." Minglin sprang up from the sofa, looking relieved. He had made up his mind not to come tomorrow.
"What a pity..." Su Chen sighed on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but think that Meng Qi was also included in this gathering. He wondered if Chong Jingtian could see through the clues.
After tidying up briefly, the two went out together. Minglin couldn't help but wonder, "I wonder why the chief suddenly summoned us."
"I don't know, maybe it's time to pass on the throne," Su Chen muttered.
Despite this utter nonsense, Minglin asked seriously, "Then who do you think it will be passed on to?"
Su Chen was speechless, but continued to ramble: "It doesn't matter who it's sent to, just don't send it to Wei Yufan."
.........
Meanwhile, in a spacious area inside a building at the heart of the courtroom, a group of people had gathered.
"How's Lao Pu doing lately?" Chong Jingtian asked Sang Hanhai, who was examining spatial crystals one by one.
"My senior brother is still the same as always, constantly researching divine language. You might not see him even once every ten days or half a month." Sang Hanhai's hands moved swiftly, forming a somewhat dim spatial crystal. "The energy is unstable, discard..."
The staff member standing to the side carefully took it and placed it in a small box.
“Divine language…” Chongjingtian seemed to recall something, and sighed, “I hope it will come to fruition.”
"Whether divine language exists or not is still uncertain." Sang Hanhai shook his head and then said, "You have prepared spatial crystals and you can create spatial rifts, but among the core seeds of the Tribunal, there doesn't seem to be a single top-tier second-tier mental profession, right?"
"Trying it rashly might cause problems, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand."
“There won’t be any problems.” Chong Jingtian reached out and squeezed, and a piece of metal material appeared in his hand. “Such a useful profession is worth a try.”
"You actually succeeded." Sang Hanhai exclaimed in surprise.
“The space is too small, only two or three cubic meters.” Chong Jingtian shook his head. “There are too many things that need to be controlled. The resonance time between the spatial crystal and the spatial rift is too difficult to control.”
“Yes…” Sang Hanhai also agreed, “After all, it’s a space-related profession, and even for such a support profession, the difficulty is exceptionally high.”
Before long, Wei Yufan arrived at the scene first.
"Chief..." he called out respectfully, and Chong Jingtian nodded slightly.
“Elder Sang, you’re here too…” Wei Yufan then looked at Sang Hanhai.
“It’s you…” Sang Hanhai glanced at him and casually said, “You have your father’s style.”
“My father often mentions you too.” Wei Yufan pressed on, about to exchange a few pleasantries, when he saw that Sang Hanhai had already turned around to adjust the equipment.
His face was embarrassed, and he could only fall silent.
……
"The translation department staff are also here."
Outside the door, Minglin could already see the hovercar with the Translation Office's markings on its exterior.
"Translation—A0823" glanced at the license plate number and was quite surprised. "It's actually Old Sang's car."
"Sang Hanhai?" Su Chen was surprised to see that this guy even remembered the license plate number.
“It’s Elder Sang…” Minglin emphasized, lowering his voice, “You have to be more respectful. If the people in the translation department hear this, there will inevitably be another argument.”
"He's that good?" Su Chen asked with a strange expression.
"You didn't know?" Minglin asked, even more puzzled. "When you first joined the court, didn't you spend all your time in the translation department?"
This is no secret; anyone with the will can find out.
“Oh, I see.” Minglin said with a look of realization, “You probably only think of Professor Sang as a professor.”
"Isn't that right?" Su Chen retorted.
