High-level female soldiers: My female soldiers are all SSS-rank!

"I hope you won't complain about me having Director Liu come over so late."

Wu Hongdao spoke in a nonchalant tone.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chenghua, who had just sat down, immediately became restless.

He spoke with a broad smile.

"Principal Wu, you flatter me. As your subordinate, I am always ready to be at your service. How could I dare to complain?"

"On the contrary, it is you who have devoted yourself to the future of Zhenhai City, which is truly admirable."

"Your subordinates have always wanted to share your burdens and solve your problems."

Wu Hongdao didn't pay much attention to Liu Chenghua's flattery, and simply waved his hand lightly.

"That's good. Let's take a look at the photos on the table first."

As Wu Hongdao finished speaking, Liu Chenghua's attention naturally shifted to the photos on the table, and the atmosphere became heavy.

"Wang Long!"

"He's dead?"

Liu Chenghua's heart clenched suddenly, despite his doubts.

But in front of Wu Hongdao, he didn't dare to ask further, and could only ponder the deeper meaning and subsequent countermeasures in his heart.

However, although Liu Chenghua's panic and unease were fleeting, they still did not escape Wu Hongdao's eyes.

"Director Liu, if I remember correctly, this fugitive has been on the run for several years, hasn't he?"

Wu Hongdao spoke.

Liu Chenghua's throat bobbed involuntarily as he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and forced a calm expression on his face before speaking slowly.

"That's absolutely right, that's indeed the case."

"The fact that the villain was able to surrender is truly thanks to the outstanding talents under Principal Wu's command. Their contributions are invaluable, and for Zhenhai City, it's like seeing the sun after the clouds have parted—a great fortune indeed!"

His words were more sincere, yet also subtly contained a hint of flattery.

However, upon hearing this, Wu Hongdao's lips curled into a cold smile.

The laughter was short and powerful, like a sharp blade in the cold wind, piercing straight to the heart.

"Director Liu."

"You have so many men, yet you couldn't even capture a mere fugitive in time?"

Wu Hongdao was perfectly aware of the intricate entanglement between Liu Chenghua and the local forces.

The reason why Wang Long was able to get away with it is undoubtedly due to the shadow of the Baisheng Group. And the mastermind behind all this is none other than Liu Chenghua's seemingly fair but actually selfish protection.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly, becoming so heavy it was suffocating.

Liu Chenghua felt his forehead covered in fine sweat, which rolled down like raindrops, and he felt even more uneasy.

"Principal Wu, you are absolutely right to teach me a lesson. I am ashamed."

"I wonder who killed the villain. I will definitely lead the entire Security Bureau to learn from him."

Upon hearing this, Wu Hongdao's brows furrowed with impatience. He flicked his sleeve lightly, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority.

"This matter is settled; there's no need to mention it again."

"As for the follow-up, you need to handle it properly as soon as possible. You must settle this case tonight and keep the news under wraps. There must be no leaks to avoid causing any unnecessary trouble."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Liu Chenghua felt extremely uncomfortable and involuntarily turned around, hurrying away from the subtle and tense atmosphere.

Seeing this, Wu Hongdao slowly sat back down, but could not hide the deep thought in his eyes.

He lowered his head and began to think.

The more I pondered, the more doubts I felt.

Ye Chu's fight with Wang Long was swift and decisive, resulting in a fatal blow.

This prevented him from having more opportunities to assess Ye Chu's true strength.

"That's enough."

"Consider this a favor to you."

"Anyway, by then, everyone will know all the details."

With this thought in mind, Wu Hongdao was also quite looking forward to it.

Just how many secrets is this kid hiding?

……

The next day, early morning.

Ye Chu woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy.

Last night's assassination attempt was deliberately communicated to Yun Ceng, so Wu Hongdao would naturally learn of it soon.

This action was a proactive response to the assassination attempt, and also a subtle test of Wu Hongdao's attitude.

Although Wu Hongdao himself said that he would not help him.

However, as the principal of the martial arts university and the mayor of Zhenhai City, he naturally could not tolerate such a scandal as an assassination during the martial arts competition.

Therefore, Ye Chu was gambling.

He bets that Wu Hongdao will cover all of this up for him.

Although Wu Hongdao was probably just trying to save face, it was like sending bad news to the Parkson Group in a roundabout way.

He believed he was Wu Hongdao's man, or that Wu Hongdao would stand by his side.

Although it may seem like a case of borrowing someone else's power, it is indeed a good method.

"Shao Jie, he's ruthless indeed!"

"The Shao family must be eliminated!"

Ye Chu clenched his fist inwardly.

However, as one of the three major groups in Zhenhai City, Parkson Group wields immense power and has deep-rooted connections, colluding with various forces.

I currently know very little about Parkson Group, so I cannot act rashly.

The only certainty is that the Shao family of the Parkson Group enshrines a fourth-level martial arts master.

A martial arts grandmaster has 100,000 units of vital energy!

Once you reach the third level and become a martial artist, you will be able to unleash your inner energy.

Protected by a protective aura, one is impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to ordinary weapons.

By releasing one's inner energy, one can intimidate, stun, or even kill enemies without lifting a finger!

With my current strength, I'm afraid I'd faint in a single encounter and be at their mercy.

Ye Chu knew very well that if he wanted to eliminate the Shao family, this martial arts master would inevitably become an insurmountable obstacle for him!

"I must find a way to unite with other forces, otherwise, with my current strength alone, there is absolutely no chance!"

"Then who can I team up with?"

Ye Chu pondered.

"Wu Hongdao? Unlikely. He holds a high position and would disdain getting involved in such worldly disputes."

"Moreover, Wu Hongdao has no intention of changing the three-way balance of power among the Zhenhai City Group."

Ye Chu's gaze shifted.

Ultimately, his thoughts settled on the other two major groups in Zhenhai City.

The Bai family and the Wang family.

……

Ong!

Inside the Shao family compound, Shao Jie hadn't slept all night, and finally his phone rang.

I glanced at the phone number and answered immediately.

"So that's the result?"

An old voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Young Master, Wang Long is dead."

"What did you say! Ye Chu killed him?"

Shao Jie looked on in disbelief.

"It seems so. Wang Hu has already left by boat, and I will send someone to silence him later."

Upon hearing this, Shao Jie was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up.

"Ye Chu killed Wang Long? Wang Long was a second-tier martial artist! How could he possibly have done that!"

Shao Jie's eyes hardened, and he continued, "Since a martial arts master can't be killed, then a martial arts cultivator will! Send a martial arts cultivator to kill him!"

And this moment.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "Young Master, this matter is probably beyond your control. The Master has already ordered the suspension of all your current authority to use the group's resources."

"Why?" Shao Jie was stunned, and even his voice lowered considerably.

"Wu Hongdao may have sided with Ye Chu and handled this assassination attempt on his behalf."

"The group cannot afford to offend Wu Hongdao because of Ye Chu."

beep...

Mr. Chen hung up the phone.

Snapped!

The phone was thrown with great force, smashing into pieces.

Shao Jie almost gritted his teeth, a surge of anger rising to his head.

"Ye Chu! Ye Chu!"

"Wu Hongdao can shield you from open attacks, but what about hidden arrows?"

"I'll ruin your reputation!"
