I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

"Old Lu, let bygones be bygones, but I'll remember what happened today."

Chu Yang said it casually.

He knew that it was indeed difficult to get Lü Wenguang to get here in such a short time and apply for a medal.

Lu Wenguang waved his hand with a wry smile, "This is a trivial matter, nothing compared to the many times I've offended you before. I just sent a message to Zheng Kuo, the director of the law enforcement bureau, and told him to release the people from the Su Group as soon as possible."

Chu Yang smiled slightly.

Now, not only Su Wanning and Liu Fangfei, but also Jinjiao, Yinjiao, and Sha Qiang have disappeared without a trace.

If Lü Wenguang can handle it, he'll be happy to have some free time.

However, this is on the premise that his people are not bullied.

"Old Xiao, how are you feeling right now?"

"I felt like my whole body was filled with lead just now, but now I feel like I have inexhaustible energy, and it seems like I'm about to break through," Xiao Zhi said excitedly.

Chu Yang chuckled and patted Xiao Zhi on the shoulder, "Take the pills I gave you later."

The thought of the expensive prices of those medicinal herbs made Xiao Zhi feel somewhat unworthy of them.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open.

A round-faced, well-off-looking middle-aged man entered the room with a guilty expression.

"Old Xiao, I'm late!"

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly walked to the bedside and took Xiao Zhi's hand.

"I'm so sorry, so very sorry! You know I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I've been leaving everything to Shen Tao. I never expected him... he actually... sigh!"

Just then, Shen Tao slunk in.

"Old Xiao, if I offended you with what I said just now, I apologize."

As he spoke, he bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle.

Xiao Zhi ignored Shen Tao and looked at Zheng Kuo gratefully.

"Director, this has nothing to do with you. Besides, my injuries are much better now, and I can go back to work tomorrow."

"Oh? You can start work tomorrow?"

A look of surprise flashed in Zheng Kuo's eyes. He then turned to look at Lü Wenguang and said, "Mayor, I was too anxious just now and didn't have time to greet you."

"You should be thinking about our heroes first!" Lu Wenguang said seriously, without a trace of sarcasm. "Have the people from the Su Group been released?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Kuo's face was filled with anger. He stomped his foot hard and turned to glare at Shen Tao.

"Did you hear that? The mayor said you have to release them!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tao immediately knelt down with a "plop".

"Your Excellency, the case has already been filed, and they've provided a lot of evidence. I'm afraid it's very difficult for us. Perhaps you could issue a document in the name of the City Hall, and then we'd have a reason to release them."

Lu Wenguang's face turned ashen.

If he issues this document, and word gets out, his image will be ruined.

This is tantamount to using public power to prevent law enforcement from conducting an investigation.

Zheng Kuo was so angry that his whole body trembled. "Now I order you to release them!"

"Director, I...I really can't do it." Shen Tao had a bitter face, as if his mother had died.

Chu Yang, however, felt that this matter was becoming more and more interesting. They didn't even give Lu Wenguang any face, and they still pulled this stunt.

However, I had heard Xiao Zhi say before that Director Zheng seemed to treat him quite well. If it weren't for Zheng Kuo last time, he might not have even been able to keep his position as team leader.

Lu Wenguang now feels that he has completely lost face.

But he really couldn't just interfere with the law enforcement agency's investigation in the name of the city hall.

"Forget it!" Chu Yang waved his hand with a smile. "As long as the law enforcement bureau is acting in the name of justice and not as henchmen for certain people, I firmly agree to investigate the matter thoroughly."

Shen Tao stood up abruptly, glaring fiercely at Chu Yang.

"Our law enforcement agency always acts in the name of justice!"

Chu Yang smiled. "That would be best! I wonder how long you'll be investigating?"

Lu Wenguang quickly spoke up, "President Su and President Liu are both heads of their companies. If you delay them for too long, the law enforcement bureau will be responsible for the losses. Don't ask the Donghai Municipal Government for money."

Shen Tao quickly changed his tune, lowering his head and saying meekly, "Don't worry, sir, we'll have results tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhi got out of bed.

"I demand to be interrogated alongside them."

Zheng Kuo rushed over to help Xiao Zhi up, saying, "Old Xiao, you need to take good care of your health. If you develop a chronic illness, it will be troublesome in the future."

Before Xiao Zhi could answer, Shen Tao snorted and said, "Xiao Zhi, are you saying it's all better now?"

"That's right! Mr. Chu treated me just now, and my physical condition is fine."

"No problem, you can participate in the interrogation. But... now that you're all better, you should be able to participate in tomorrow's assessment, right?" Shen Tao's words were full of sarcasm and provocation.

Chu Yang felt that this matter was not simple; it seemed that the other party had dug a pit and was waiting for Xiao Zhi to fall into it.

Xiao Zhi replied nonchalantly, "Why not?"

Zheng Kuo looked anxious and quickly tugged at Xiao Zhi, "The rules have changed this year. Everyone except me, the bureau chief, has to take the assessment. The bottom three will be eliminated. If you ask me, you should reconsider. I can use this opportunity to legitimately help you avoid the assessment."

Xiao Zhi didn't have many concerns and patted his chest, saying, "No problem, I can do it."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Tao handed him the pre-prepared waiver of liability. "Sign it!"

Xiao Zhi didn't think too much about it. Everyone had to sign a life-or-death waiver before the assessment, but in all these years, there hadn't been a case of anyone being killed or even seriously injured on the assessment stage, let alone killed.

Generally speaking, a fracture is considered a serious injury.

Without a second thought, he signed and pressed his fingerprint on the document.

After watching the whole thing from a third-person perspective, Chu Yang felt that something was off.

As Xiao Zhi was about to leave with the law enforcement officers, Chu Yang pulled him aside.

"Where's the video I sent you?"

Xiao Zhi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I didn't give it to Shen Tao, I gave it directly to our bureau chief."

Chu Yang frowned and asked, "Then, not long after, you heard that the Su Group had run into trouble, and you immediately volunteered?"

Xiao Zhi nodded repeatedly, "That's pretty much what you said. Our bureau chief told me. I'll go and urge him to release that video as soon as possible."

Chu Yang shook his head. "Forget it, I have other plans for this. Don't rush me."

Xiao Zhi looked puzzled. "Are you worried that our bureau chief might be implicated in this matter?"

Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, then smiled. "I have my own plans, so don't ask. Just be careful, and remember to contact me anytime if any problems arise."

Now he was almost certain that Zheng Kuo, that seemingly harmless guy, was full of bad intentions.

But he doesn't want to tell Xiao Zhi these things directly right now.

After all, he could sense that Xiao Zhi had always been grateful to Zheng Kuo, so he decided to wait until there was substantial evidence before making any decisions.

As soon as the law enforcement officers and Xiao Zhigang left, Lü Wenguang came to Chu Yang's side with a guilty look on his face.

"Mr. Chu, I... am ashamed."

Chu Yang said indifferently, "Forget it, preserving your reputation as the mayor is the most important thing."

"I...I will keep an eye on this matter and will absolutely not allow your wife's family to suffer an injustice," Lu Wenguang said confidently.

Just then, Chu Yang saw a bright red flying insect outside the window and immediately raised an eyebrow.

This is the "Tracking Gu" from Miao territory. Chu Yang had seen the old monster from Miao territory use it twice.

Chu Yang unleashed a burst of true energy with his right hand, opening the window.

The tracking Gu immediately flew into the house and landed on Chu Yang's shoulder, its two tentacles pointing northwest.

Chu Yang made a leaping motion, but was pulled back by Lü Wenguang.

"etc!"
