A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

Ji Zuodao scratched his head in frustration, making his hair look like a bird's nest, and muttered under his breath:

"What can we do then? We can't just let it go like this, can we? That's the Wang family! They're rolling in money! I can't sleep at night without raiding their house!"

Dog Lord rolled his eyes: "Couldn't you think of another way? Did you have to confiscate their property?"

Ji Zuoli said confidently, "What meaning would my life have if my property wasn't confiscated?"

Dog Lord: "..."

Just as he was about to say something more, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

With a loud crash, the door slammed against the wall, sending dust flying from the ceiling.

Su Xiaoxiao rushed in, holding her phone in her hand, looking as aggressive as if she were carrying a flag.

She wore a beige trench coat over a light pink knit sweater, paired with skinny jeans that accentuated her long, slender legs.

Her hair was loose and flowed behind her as she ran, carrying a faint fragrance.

She rushed to Ji Zuodao in three strides, handed him her phone, and the screen displayed the page of the Qi Refining Forum.

"Hey! Come quick! There's a post online smearing you! It's super popular! The IP address is from Jinghai!"

Su Xiaoxiao's voice carried an excitement of "finally, there's going to be a good show," and her fox-like eyes sparkled as if she had discovered some treasure.

"Holy crap?"

Ji Zuodao raised an eyebrow, took the phone, and looked down at it.

"Is it that I, Daoist Master, am no longer capable of wielding a knife? How dare anyone in Jinghai slander me? Are they tired of living?"

As he spoke, he swiped the screen, browsing the posts.

As he watched, his expression became somewhat amused.

It was a very subtle expression, somewhere between "funny" and "speechless," with the corners of the mouth slightly upturned and the brows gently furrowed, as if watching a child's clumsy performance.

He could tell that the guy who was making fun of him had tried his best.

The wording, the tone, the emotions—all were quite full; it was clear that they had put their heart into it.

But clearly, that guy underestimated his own limits.

The incriminating information he wrote included allegations of embezzlement, bribery, abuse of power, and bullying of men and women...

To Ji Zuodao, these accusations were practically a compliment.

If you scold a murderer for stealing, is that considered scolding? That's praising him for obeying the law.

Dog also came over, stuck his head in front of the phone screen, looked at it for a while, and laughed.

The dog grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and laughed heartily.

"Isn't this just handing over a handle? Who is this guy who hates you but doesn't understand you, and who just happens to be in Jinghai? It's so hard to guess."

"Defaming a 749 Bureau investigator is a real crime. Tracing the IP address, arresting the person, detaining them for a few days, and fining them will at least give us some satisfaction."

Ji Zuodao shook his head, threw his phone on the table, leaned back in his chair, and put his hands behind his head.

"This little bit of leverage is nothing. At most, they can arrest Wang Bing and give him a beating, but the fine won't be much. The Wang family is so rich, that fine wouldn't even cover their meal."

"Besides, what's the point of arresting him? Lock him up for a few days, fine him a little money, and when he's released, he'll still be living a life of luxury. It's no big deal, it's pointless."

Dogman thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true. So what do you plan to do?"

Ji Zuodao didn't rush to answer.

He leaned back in his chair, squinting at the ceiling, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, making a "tap-tap-tap" sound, as if he were thinking about something.

After a while, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That smile had a familiar, cunning quality that made you want to punch him.

He sat up straight, picked up his phone, and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.

"Su Xiaoxiao, use these anonymous posts to go and fine those powerful families in Jinghai, one by one. The reason? Defaming Investigator 749."

Su Xiaoxiao took the phone, blinked her fox-like eyes, and asked with some confusion, "But little Dao, what does this post have to do with those aristocratic families?"

"It's related."

Ji Zuodao leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and smiled so brightly and radiantly.

"They insulted me in the comments. I saw it. I was furious. So, they're going to fine me."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Dog Lord: "..."

They finally understood.

Ji Zuodao is using this as an excuse to extort money.

Those aristocratic families did indeed hurl a few insults in the comments section.

But the criticisms were at most things like, "Are you kidding me, OP?", "You're being too lenient with your accusations," and "Do you have some misunderstanding about Ji Zuodao?"

This is considered insulting?

This can be considered defamation?

If Ji Zuodao says it's okay, then it is.

Who told him to be the section chief?

"Okay!"

Su Xiaoxiao responded, took the phone, and turned to run outside.

She loves doing this kind of thing.

Running errands for shady characters, doing things for shady characters, extorting money for shady characters... oh no, I mean, upholding justice for shady characters.

She felt it was an honor, a mission, and a manifestation of her self-worth as a vixen.

Then, the powerful families of Jinghai suffered.

The heads of those aristocratic families were all dumbfounded.

No, what did they do?

They just left a few comments on a post, didn't they?

That can be called defamation?

That can also result in a fine?

But Ji Zuodao didn't care about any of that.

He sent Su Xiaoxiao to each of the households, showing them screenshots of the posts, and righteously declared, "You have defamed our investigators in the comments section. According to relevant regulations, you are required to pay a fine. If you do not pay, we will pursue your legal responsibilities according to the law."

The heads of those powerful families, looking at Su Xiaoxiao's smiling face and then at the fine notice stamped with the official seal of Bureau 749 in her hand, were all furious, yet helpless.

Sigh, they've been extremely careful.

Unexpectedly, they still found fault with them and tried to extort money from them.

It's all the fault of the person who posted that thread!

Why post those inflammatory threads when you have nothing better to do?

This caused them to lose their temper and say a few inappropriate things in the comments section.

Well, now we're going to have to spend money to avoid disaster again.

The heads of those aristocratic families paid their fines while cursing and swearing, all the while cursing the person who posted the message to their ancestors for eighteen generations.

After paying the fine, the heads of several prominent families discussed it and decided that they couldn't just let it go like that.

Damn it, why should they clean up the mess that others made?

So, the heads of several powerful families joined forces and used their connections and resources to begin investigating the person who posted the message.

They wanted to see which bastard was posting that provocative thread, causing them to suffer as a result.
