I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The area in front of the Li family mansion was even more bustling than a vegetable market at this moment.

However, what they're selling here isn't vegetables, but human blood buns.

Dozens of vehicles bearing the logos of major media outlets blocked the intersection, and countless flashes went off like crazy, illuminating the dark night sky as if it were daytime.

"Why is the Po Jun Division besieging law-abiding citizens?"

"The Li family pays billions in taxes to Jiangcheng every year and sponsors countless impoverished students. Do you have any evidence to prove this?"

"Is this a form of political persecution targeting private enterprises?"

Countless microphones, like long spears, were almost shoved into Lin Qingyi's face.

Lin Qingyi's face was ashen, her lips were tightly pressed together, and she remained silent.

Her hand gripped the knife hilt tightly.

If they were in the wilderness, facing a strange beast, she would have already drawn her sword and attacked.

But faced with these so-called "uncrowned kings," and these livestreamers carrying cameras and holding up their phones, she could only endure it.

This is the rule.

This is also the most disgusting aspect of the Li family.

"Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Are you feeling guilty?"

A reporter with a goatee was aggressive, spitting all over Lin Qingyi's combat uniform.

"Get out of my way!"

Ah Fei finally couldn't hold back any longer and shoved away the microphone that was about to be pressed against Lin Qingyi's chest.

"Ouch! Someone's hitting me!"

The goatee lay down on the ground and let out a bloodcurdling scream.

"The Po Jun Si is hitting people! Is there no law anymore?!"

Click, click!

The shutter sounds suddenly increased tenfold.

In various live streaming rooms, the barrage of comments was like an avalanche.

This is outrageous! Is this our guardian angel? He's a complete scoundrel!

[My heart aches for the Li family head; such a good entrepreneur has to be bullied.]

[Investigate! This must be thoroughly investigated! Is the Po Jun Division plotting a rebellion?]

[The one who made the move, I saw his number clearly, doxx him!]

Public opinion was completely ignited in an instant.

Unaware of the truth, the onlookers, guided by those with ulterior motives, transformed into messengers of justice, launching a verbal and written attack on Po Jun Si.

Reggae was trembling with rage, raising and lowering the massive tower shield in his hand several times.

So frustrating!

Even the ordinary Po Jun Si warriors who were standing on the periphery maintaining order felt unprecedented pressure at this moment.

They were not afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice.

But the feeling of being pointed at and scolded by the person you are protecting is more painful than having a knife stabbed into your heart.

Just then.

The vermilion gate of the Li family, which had been tightly closed for a long time, slowly opened.

Li Tiannan emerged, surrounded by his butler and several bodyguards.

He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, his hair was neatly combed, and his face showed just the right amount of fatigue and indignation.

"Dear friends from the media, and fellow citizens of Jiangcheng."

Li Tiannan's voice trembled, and there was even a hint of sobbing.

"I, Li, have always maintained an upright and honest character."

"Over the years, my Li family has built bridges and roads and donated money to support education. We have never had the slightest selfishness."

"I don't understand why the Po Jun Si (a military unit) would surround my house without any reason?"

"Is there no justice left in this world?"

When he got emotional, Li Tiannan even shed two lines of crocodile tears.

"Mr. Li, don't cry! We support you!"

"Yes! We need an explanation!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

The anger reached its peak under Li Tiannan's instigation, and some of the agitated anchors even began to try to break through Po Jun Si's defenses.

On the rooftop not far away.

Two figures stood in the night wind.

Chi Xiao watched the farce unfold below, his teeth grinding in anger.

"Damn it! This guy surnamed Li is such a show-off!"

"I'll go down and chop him in half with my sword!"

As he spoke, he was about to draw his sword.

A large hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Qin Zhenshan's face was ashen as he shook his head.

"Don't move."

"Going down now will only make things worse."

"What Li Tiannan wants is conflict, he wants us to take action."

Chi Xiao flung Qin Zhenshan's hand away, his eyes wide with anger.

"So what do we do? Just watch these brats get bullied?"

"Look at that girl Lin Qingyi, her face has turned pale!"

"And those trolls online, are they even speaking like humans?"

Qin Zhenshan took a deep breath and looked at the group of young soldiers below with a complicated expression.

He felt sorry for him too.

But he knew even better that if he showed up now, it wouldn't just be a simple conflict, but a full-scale war between the Po Jun Division and the entire Jiangcheng public opinion.

Without solid evidence, even as the garrison commander, he couldn't silence the public's opinions.

"wait."

Qin Zhenshan uttered a single word.

Just then.

Li Tiannan below seemed to think that the time was about right.

He straightened his collar, raised his head, looked past the crowd towards the darkness in the distance, and shouted in a strong voice:

"Qin Zhenshan! I know you're watching!"

"What? As the garrison commander of Jiangcheng, are you afraid to admit your mistakes?"

"What kind of hero hides behind the scenes and directs a newly appointed upstart to humiliate my Li family?"

"Come out if you dare!"

"Give the Li family, and all the people of Jiangcheng, an explanation!"

This roar used his inner energy.

The sound, like rolling thunder, exploded in the night sky and spread for miles around.

Everyone fell silent.

Countless eyes looked around, waiting for the legendary guardian to appear.

The number of viewers in the live stream instantly soared to tens of millions.

This is a coup attempt!

Veins bulged on Chi Xiao's forehead. "I can't take it anymore!"

The thousands of people at the scene, along with hundreds of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, were all holding their breath in anticipation.

They are waiting.

Let's wait for that legendary Jiangcheng Town garrison commander, Qin Zhenshan, to come out and give us an explanation.

Or perhaps the so-called "newly appointed commander-in-chief" will come out to take the blame and apologize.

one second.

two seconds.

Ten seconds passed.

No one responded.

In the dark depths sealed off by searchlights, there remained a deathly silence.

Li Tiannan's cold smile grew stronger.

He won.

Officials are human too; they also fear public opinion and being labeled.

If we can just get through tonight, we can wait for the vampires to...

"What? Too ashamed to show your face?"

Li Tiannan stepped forward again, spreading his arms wide, like a suffering saint.

He stared indignantly at the dozen or so cameras in front of him.

Did everyone see that?!

"This is our guardian angel!"

"This is the Po Jun Division, which possesses law enforcement authority!"

"In the dead of night, they surrounded me, a major taxpayer, fully armed, but now they don't dare utter a single word!"

"What is this?"

"This is tyranny! This is oppression!"

wow——

The crowd erupted in cheers once again.

The few assigned servants led the chanting of slogans.

"Apologize! Apologize!"

"Get out of the East District, Po Jun Si!"

"Hand over the commander!"

The media reporters, like sharks smelling blood, flashed their cameras so hard they almost melted away Po Jun Si's defenses.

Lin Qingyi's knuckles turned white as she gripped the knife hilt.

She clenched her teeth tightly and managed to refrain from drawing her knife and attacking someone.

This is so frustrating.

Even though they know the other party is scum, they can't do anything about it because of the protective barrier called "public opinion".

Just when everyone thought that Po Jun Si was going to suffer a big setback this time.

rustling...

A strange sound suddenly came from the darkness at the end of the street.
