Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Hmph, He Li is indeed formidable."

"In terms of strength, I have to admit it."

"But so what?"

"Investigating cases requires more than just skill; you also need brains and an understanding of human relationships. Otherwise, no matter how capable He Li is, he'll never find anything in Shanghai!"

"That's right. No matter how strong his reasoning is, does he think he can solve cases and earn merits in our Shanghai?"

"That's nothing short of a pipe dream!"

Inside the Shanghai Special Bureau, a cold laugh continued.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see Lin Fan and many other investigators, who hadn't dared to speak loudly when facing He Li before, now gathered together, talking loudly and mocking He Li...

"Hehe, guess what? Has He Li found out anything since leaving my Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau?"

"What did you find? It's hilarious!"

"How can he investigate? All the forces in Shanghai have already communicated and are cooperating with each other. He can't make an inch. He probably doesn't have a single clue right now..."

"I bet he's sitting in some corner right now, worrying about this."

"Hmph, he deserves it."

"So arrogant and conceited when you first arrived in Shanghai..."

"Even Deputy Director Fu was killed by him!"

"Why doesn't he just go to heaven?"

"Right now, I bet he's regretting offending our Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau so badly that he can't get our help or find any clues... But even if he comes groveling..."

"We won't help him either!"

The investigators in Shanghai were gloating.

They were all starting to hope that He Li would waste his time in Shanghai without finding anything, and in the end, he would have no choice but to return to the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau and humbly beg for their help.

They even started fantasizing that they would definitely reject He Li harshly and make him regret it.

Lin Fan, among others, shared this idea.

"He Li, so what if you're capable?"

"Shanghai is not your Shuzhou."

"Even Kyoto might not be able to govern this place."

"You came here thinking you could find something and earn merit points? You really think you're omnipotent, huh? Hmph, I'll see how you manage to escape back to Shu Prefecture in such a sorry state this time!"

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly noticed Jiang Han walking hurriedly out not far away.

Upon seeing her, Lin Fan quickly stepped forward...

"Jiang Han, wait!"

Hearing the shouts, Jiang Han frowned.

"Lin Fan? What's wrong?" she asked.

Lin Fan was somewhat displeased: "What is it? I should be asking you why you suddenly applied to leave the team. What? Do you think I, Lin Fan, am not worth your following?"

"...I have my reasons."

Jiang Han responded after a brief silence.

She then continued, "With your talent, finding a partner should be a piece of cake, right?"

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore."

"I have an urgent mission!"

After saying that, she was about to continue walking forward.

Lin Fan stopped him again: "Wait, what mission do you have? You seem to be in such a hurry, is it some kind of troublesome mission? Well, why don't we come along and earn some money too..."

He was interrupted by Jiang Han before he could finish speaking.

"I'm going to see He Li!"

Ok? ? ?

Lin Fan was stunned upon hearing this.

"What's the matter with him? Why are you going to see him?"

"Do you know that bastard just seriously injured many of our colleagues and even killed Deputy Director Fu here not long ago? And you...you actually want to go see him? You..."

Coming to his senses, Lin Fan frowned, clenched his fists, and his face was filled with annoyance.

He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Hearing that Jiang Han was going to see He Li, he became agitated.

Jiang Han was also somewhat dissatisfied upon seeing this.

"I don't have time for that. I just got word that He Li is killing someone in the street, and it was someone from the Yin Xian Sect. He's probably investigating a related case!"

"And their methods were extremely brutal."

"With his methods, he would kill those people if they didn't speak up; those criminals simply couldn't withstand it."

"He must have found out something."

"And his actions will become increasingly drastic."

"You and I both know this. After all, he was lawless in Shu Prefecture and even dared to venture into Emei alone. He doesn't care what kind of power he's facing..."

At this point, Jiang Han continued forward.

Lin Fan couldn't help but follow.

Then I heard Jiang Han's words...

"The bureau arranged for me to go over and take a look."

"Let me see clearly what he did and what he investigated so I can report back to Kyoto later."

"There's no hope of stopping him."

"Even the deputy director was killed, who could stop him? The only reason I went was because the bureau thought we'd met in Shuzhou before, that we'd at least look familiar, and that they wouldn't kill me if they saw me..."

At this point, Jiang Han had already left the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau and was driving straight to the scene.

Lin Fan, and the other investigators from Shanghai who had also heard Jiang Han's voice, were all dumbfounded...

"No? What kind of logic is that...?"

"What exactly is going on here?"

"Has he forgotten he's an investigator?"

"Is this how you investigate a case? Killing someone if they don't talk? Does he really intend to kill his way out of the truth?"

"Damn it, he really is a madman!!!"

"This is completely unpredictable!"

"Damn it, we're doomed. If he's so powerful that he doesn't follow the law and just uses any means necessary to investigate cases, then probably no force can withstand him..."

"Oh no! We're doomed!!!"

"If we had known that madman was so ruthless, those sects and families would have colluded to embarrass He Li. Wouldn't that have been like offering their necks to be killed?"

"It's all over, it's all over! Quick, quickly inform the family! If that madman comes to our door, don't hide it..."

"Going to jail is better than being killed!!!"

The news brought by Jiang Han caused the investigators, who had just been discussing and mocking He Li for being clueless about human relationships and unlikely to find any clues, to completely panic.

They never expected that He Li would actually disregard the "rules of the game" entirely...

However, upon closer reflection...

This seems normal!

That guy dared to kill the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, so why would he care about those sect disciples or family members who might commit crimes? Wouldn't he just crush them to pieces?

"That guy's a real devil!!!"

"Who on earth attracted this monster?"

"This is... we can't afford to mess with them!"

"Who else could it be? Lin Fan and his group, of course. They're the only ones who went to Shu Prefecture and had contact with He Li. Hmph, if only they hadn't clashed with He Li..."

"What kind of nonsense is this in Shanghai?"

"Exactly, is someone like He Li someone Lin Fan can provoke or retaliate against at will?"

"Damn! Is it all right now?"

"By inviting this plague, we'll all die together!"

The intense panic and fear of He Li caused the investigators, who were afraid that He Li would find out something that would implicate their families, to shift their hatred.

They set their sights on Lin Fan and his group.

They felt that if Lin Fan and his group hadn't provoked He Li in Shuzhou, He Li wouldn't have noticed Shanghai and traveled all the way from Shuzhou to Shanghai...

Without that, none of this would have happened.

The more they thought about it, the more they disliked Lin Fan and his group.

Lin Fan, of course, also heard those sounds.

They also noticed the hostile gazes.

He was extremely angry.

"These bastards, is it my fault???"

"Whether I go to Shu Prefecture or not is none of my business. Isn't that still the higher-ups' decision? Besides... don't you guys also want me to take in the Ten-Horned Dragon?"

"Acceptance will inevitably lead to conflict with He Li."

"You guys were all very supportive back then, saying to ignore those peasants in Shu Prefecture and just rob them by force. Now that something's happened... you're blaming me for messing with you? What kind of logic is that?"

"So you hate me because you don't dare to hate him, right?"

"Why the hell don't you hate Jiang Xiong anymore?"

"How can you not hate those Japanese? Didn't they start all this trouble?"

If it weren't for He Li's strength...

If it weren't for He Li's courage and confidence...

Lin Fan wanted to kill these people.

However, he was ultimately not in the right, and without the strength and confidence, he could only swallow his anger.

His teammates were the same.

As the surrounding investigators began to whisper and their hostility grew stronger...

Left with no other choice, they could only slink out of the Special Affairs Bureau like rats in the street, heads bowed, under the accusatory and hateful gazes, not daring to stay any longer.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Shanghai...

He Li, carrying the corpses of the Yin Xian Sect disciples, quickly arrived above the Yin Xian Sect's location...

"All members of the Yin Xian faction, come out and stand trial!!!"

Huh? Holy crap, who's so bold?

He immediately said, "Everyone in this faction, get out here and be interrogated!"

I heard a sound from the sky...

The people nearby were shocked!

The Yin Xian Sect was furious!
