Dragon Gate Swordsman

There was silence.

In fact, elderly people like Dong Fang know that there are hidden dangers in this model of rough law enforcement, but unfortunately, he does not have the final say in the special inspection team.

Of course, Xingxiong's words didn't count. It was just that Wei Yanwu was distracted by the situation in the capital, and he hardly paid attention to the affairs of the Guard Bureau during this period...

"Sir, are you saying... that we shouldn't bring those gang members back?"

As the temporary leader, Xingxiong had no choice but to serve as a representative.

"Why not? But did I ask you to arrest people without any reason? You are the Dragon Gate Guards, but you are just thugs who come to kick up a fuss!"

"Law enforcement methods must be flexible and varied..."

"Shut up, Chongxiao! This shows that you are the only one having fun!"

Although Wei Yanwu looked very impolite, he was actually very happy in his heart.

Sending out the special inspection team was a good move. It not only effectively cracked down on the gang forces that actually controlled the marginal blocks, but also severely slapped the faces of the consortium organizations... I let you negotiate with Wei Yanwu all day long, but now I have directly sent all your lackeys to the front! You don't have time to negotiate!

However, judging from the property damage mentioned in the report, Chongxiao should indeed be reminded: not every gang’s base is populated only by their people.

In other words, during this period, the people who complained to the Special Inspection Team were not only being used as guns, but also the landlords or shop owners who were affected and suffered heavy losses...

"I'm just doing my job as a special inspector, Lao Wei."

"Is it your responsibility to smash a total of sixteen cars in the parking lot?"

"Uh... that's to prevent the target from escaping by car."

Chongxiao turned his gaze away, while Haoyun next to him rolled his eyes.

This was a really bad excuse... In fact, the reason why Chongxiao smashed so many cars was that he never had a good long-range weapon, so after chasing to the parking lot, he would often grab the car next to him and throw it out.

Anyway, the Terrans are thick-skinned and not so easy to be crushed to death, and the weight of the car can also effectively restrict their escape...

In fact, when Wei Yanwu founded the Guard Bureau, he had already thought about this problem. He also specially established a Longmen Safety Foundation, calling on wealthy businessmen to donate money when they have nothing to do to repair the damaged facilities in Longmen caused by natural disasters or various accidents.

The foundation organization mentioned earlier negotiated terms with him, one of the things they relied on was this donation.

In this land, mobile cities with strong independence either set up similar institutions to ensure that emergency funds are available, or, like the tourist city of Xiosta, the municipal government itself is extremely wealthy.

Otherwise, given the Terran people's strong martial virtues and lax public security conditions, the city would have been in ruins long ago.

But if you look closely, the Security Foundation should not be held responsible for the damage caused by the police officers of the Royal Guard Bureau while enforcing the law. This was actually a loophole that Wei Yanwu took advantage of as a politician.

So if it's too obvious...

"As an elite member of the Imperial Guard, you must be restrained and good at controlling your strength. Even if you don't cause any damage, it's not good to hit flowers and plants."

Wei Yanwu coughed lightly and said sternly, "So from now on, if any of you are complained by the public again, the punishment measures of demotion and salary reduction will be implemented."

Xingxiong curled his lips, and Haoyun secretly rejoiced that Chongxiao... had been petrified, so much so that he forgot to ask Wei Yan about the matter in Wushendu after the meeting.

So Dong Fang, who came over, asked:

"What's wrong with this kid?"

"It's probably just that I foresaw a bleak future where I had to either take care of myself or go out and work part-time. It's not a big deal."

Xingxiong stood up and naturally put his hand on Chongxiao's head, "What's the matter, Boss?"

"You don't have to be on duty today, right? Haoyun?"

"Need not."

"Then how about going out for a couple of drinks? I mean... we've been working together for almost a month, and we haven't had a good time together yet."

Xingxiong turned around and looked at Haoyun who was about to leave.

"my pleasure."

……

If we rank the special inspection teams based on financial resources, it is hard to say who is first, but Chongxiao is definitely last.

Penniless is not the right way to describe him, because he has no home at all and can only live in the dormitory of the Guard Bureau... As for his property, apart from the two thousand Longmen coins that Xingxiong borrowed from him, there are only a few coins left from Wei Yanwu's original money.

Xingxiong is not much better. When he was the leader of a biker gang, he spent all the gambling money he earned from illegal racing on drinking. He is also a generous person and cannot save any money. His only valuable asset is that modified motorcycle.

A few years ago, Haoyun's parents were following a merchant caravan back to Casimir to visit relatives when they encountered a natural disaster and unfortunately died. They left him a fortune that was not rich, but enough to guarantee a comfortable life. Of course, wasting it was absolutely unacceptable.

Perhaps the worldly-wise Dong Fang saw all this and that's why he offered to treat everyone.

After all, he is an old member of the Guard Bureau, so he can easily tell which people in the Special Inspection Team are the real backbone and which ones are just making up the numbers.

The location for the gathering was chosen to be a pub in the western suburbs of Longmen, which was recommended by Xingxiong... She had been there several times when she was a biker, and felt that the environment and the quality of the food were not bad.

"Also, they brewed the wine themselves."

"Yo? Sounds good."

Dong Fang was obviously also a wine lover. After hearing what Xingxiong said, he picked up the cup and smelled it. "Indeed, the taste is not as strong as those sold on the market. It has a refreshing feeling."

"Haha, you wouldn't say that if you had a few sips."

Compared to the two of them, Chongxiao and Haoyun are no different from idiots in this regard.

Haoyun was better, and he was somewhat of a beer lover. As for Chongxiao... after taking a few glances, he drank it in one gulp!

"Hey hey hey! I told you to slow down! How can you drink like this?"

"has a problem?"

"Uh... don't you feel a burning sensation in your chest?"

Chongxiao shook his head, which surprised Haoyun. He thought, could it be that this guy is a hidden master?

Xingxiong and Dong Fang, who were talking in the tavern, also noticed Chongxiao's "reckless" behavior and turned to look.

"Okay, Chongxiao, why didn't you tell me earlier that you can drink so much?"

"You didn't even ask."

Shrugging his shoulders to show his innocence, Chongxiao picked up the wine jug and poured another glass, "But I don't think this wine tastes that good."

Xingxiong's smile froze for a moment, and he thought to himself that if the boss heard what you said, he would definitely come over and argue with you...

The pubs and restaurants in Longmen are not like many mobile cities in Dayan, with quaint traditional styles as the mainstream aesthetic. Instead, they are a fusion of Victorian and Gallic styles, with brighter colors and more refined decorations.

Just like the private room where Chongxiao and others are sitting at this moment, the wine racks and door panels embedded on the walls have golden carved patterns. Although the cabinets for placing tableware can be seen at a glance as a design with the characteristics of Dayan, the edging and handles are the spherical style commonly seen in Victoria.

"But then again, can the owner make money by opening a pub in a place like this?"

Haoyun felt that something was not right. You know, the consumption level of residents in the edge areas of Longmen is limited, and it is unlikely that they would come to such a mid-range pub.

"Whether he makes money or not, he can't go to the central city unless he is forced to join."

"Compulsory joining?"

"It's just that the consortiums are dividing up the tertiary industry on the street. The pie is so small, who would be willing to let conscientious merchants interfere?"

Xingxiong shook his head and sighed, "Besides, this place is actually pretty good. At least the rent is very low, so there won't be too much risk. Besides, aren't the planting areas all in the marginal areas? It's also convenient for purchasing and making wine. The boss can just drive there himself, and there's no need to pay for shipping."

"...You actually still understand all this?"

Haoyun and Dong Fang both looked at Xingxiong with some admiration, but she herself didn't care much.

Only Chongxiao rolled his eyes and said, "If I invest in a tavern like this, Xingxiong, can you be my consultant?"

"You are crazy about money, how can you afford to invest?"

"I can... lend you a loan!"

"Do you have anything you can pledge?"

Xingxiong glanced at him unhappily, "Don't forget that the few hundred dollars you have on you now were all lent to you by me."

It is basically known in the Guards Bureau that Chongxiao is poor... There's nothing he can do about it. He's just a refugee rescued from the disaster site and can't remember anything about the past. It would be strange for him to have money.

After a few drinks, Dong Fang and Haoyun were obviously more relaxed, talking about everything from Wei Yanwu's series of urban legends, to the gang fight in Syracuse, to Ursus's plan to challenge Casimir to a fight.

The means of communication in this land are not really advanced, but there are people like Scourge Messengers and Merchant Caravans who are traveling around all the time, so the efficiency of information flow is still very high, and the current situation of each country can often be quickly transmitted to other mobile cities.

Like most middle-aged men, Dong Fang likes to talk a lot about this. Sometimes he criticizes the Ursus Empire for not being able to take care of basic people's livelihood but still thinking about going on wars. Sometimes he yearns for Iberia in the south who can gallop on the sea at any time. He also despises Kazdel who is fighting all day long.

What surprised Chongxiao was that Xingxiong seemed to know a lot about this. Dong Fang was confused about all the questions raised by Haoyun, but she was able to explain them clearly.

This kind of experience and reserves are really not like that of an ordinary biker gang.

But Chongxiao didn't intend to ask any more questions. That magical ability to sense thoughts didn't seem to work on acquaintances.

The four of them drank in the pub until after ten o'clock in the evening. The final outcome of the battle was clear: Xingxiong and Chongxiao were both fine, while Dong Fang and Haoyun were completely paralyzed.

"Old Dong, take a taxi and leave. I'll take Haoyun back. You can ride his motorcycle back to the Guard Bureau."

Xingxiong picked up the drunk Haoyun and threw him into the back seat of the car, then tied him up with a seat belt very rudely, "Hurry up, it looks like it's going to rain."

This sentence did not have the desired effect, because just a few minutes later, heavy rain came.

It is not yet summer, and the rain still seems a bit chilly, making the fringe areas, where the nightlife is not very prosperous, even more deserted. There are hardly any pedestrians on the streets.

Riding Haoyun's motorcycle, Chongxiao muttered to himself how unlucky he was while rushing towards the Guard Bureau.

However, just as he passed a deserted street...

"Ok?"

Chongxiao frowned, then stepped on the brakes to stop the motorcycle.

There seems to be someone on the side of the road.

He walked over in the heavy rain and found a person lying face down with his long black hair spread out on the quilt. Faint traces of blood could be seen on his thin clothes, and his breathing was barely audible in the heavy rain.

Only the ears on both sides of the head can prove that this should be a female from the Luper tribe?

Attacked by gangsters?

Chongxiao gently pushed her shoulder, but there was no response.

"…Let's take you to the hospital first."

Chongxiao, talking to himself, unbuttoned the outer garment of his uniform and put it on the Lupo woman, preparing to put her on the motorcycle.

But at this moment, he suddenly sensed a certain consciousness in the distance! It didn't seem like an ordinary person's consciousness!

Without any hesitation, he thrust out two fingers of his right hand, and the sharp invisible sword energy immediately flew towards the sensed location...

The "puff" sound was not very obvious in the heavy rain, but Chongxiao who arrived later found that his sword energy had missed the target!

Are you...being targeted by someone?

He looked back at the Lupo woman who was still motionless, then walked back quickly.

Forget it, saving people is more important.

Chapter 11 Xiu Gou, the more you resist, the happier I am!

"Her injuries are serious, but she is in good physical condition so her life is not in danger."

"Can you tell what hurt you?"

After saying that, seeing the doctor's puzzled expression, Chongxiao directly reported his identity, "I am from the Special Inspection Team of the Imperial Guard Bureau. I suspect this is a case of assault and injury."

"So... So you are... I understand. I'm so sorry!"

No matter what those senior officials think, in the eyes of ordinary citizens in Longmen, a marginal area, the special inspection team is almost like superheroes that suddenly appeared out of nowhere and sent the gangsters who bullied them on a daily basis to prison one by one. Naturally, they admire them very much.

But after listening to the doctor's description of the injury, Chongxiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Broken ribs, trauma caused by knife blades, partial skin burns, and two gunshot wounds...these are not the key points. The key point is that all the injuries were not caused in the last two days.

In other words, this Luper woman has been acting in this state all the time.

Putting aside his physical fitness, this kind of willpower is rare even in the entire world...

Chongxiao reacted immediately and realized that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Oh, by the way, don't call her that, officer. She...maybe she's still a minor."

Underage! ?

This is a serious matter. According to Longmen's laws, harming minors will be punished more severely based on the facts.

But Chongxiao felt something was wrong... The consciousness he sensed when he saw her before, although he was in a hurry to save people at the time and did not investigate it carefully, but now thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a hostile existence.
