Ark Heroine Development Plan

Guan Yueli picked up the fishing rod and hit the thing hard. The monster that was roaring just now immediately made a low humming sound, slowly moved its four chubby little legs, and went around to Guan Yueli and lay down obediently.

It was a... ridiculously large crocodile.

Chen stared blankly at the ferocious beast lying beside Guan Yueli like a good dog. It seemed to sense Chen's gaze, and the murderous intent that originated from its nature gradually emerged in the orange vertical pupils of the beast.

Snapped--

When the fishing rod hit its head, it lay down obediently again.

"You...you're raising something like this in Longmen?!"

Chen didn't know what kind of crocodile this thing was, but just based on its size, the roar just now, and the extreme oppression that came from its high on the food chain... all proved how dangerous this thing was.

"Is there a problem? My little Taotie has a breeding license."

Guan Yueli raised an eyebrow: "Wei Yanwu has given special permission."

It’s Wei Yanwu again!

"Also..." Guan Yueli added slowly, "Longmen will be responsible for reimbursing 60% of its food expenses."

"How can it be!"

Chen immediately took this as Guan Yueli's deliberate attempt to make fun of him, and the expression on her face made this intention clear.

But this time, Guan Yueli really didn't have this idea.

"You don't think Longmen will keep this little guy who could tear down half a city block if he goes crazy?"

Poking the big crocodile with his fishing rod, Guan Yueli said lazily, "Little Taotie, turn over."

The big guy reluctantly exposed his belly.

There were all kinds of hideous scars all over it.

"My poor little Taotie risked his life for Longmen, yet Longmen refused to even pay for his food."

The bad woman looked sad: "This is too much. Are you bullying me, a weak woman, for not being able to seek justice for my pet?"

Chen's eye twitched.

"Ah, of course it's not that exaggerated."

Guan Yueli smiled, narrowing his eyes as if changing his expression. "Actually, it's just that when there's some troublesome garbage that needs to be cleared away, Wei Yanwu will let Little Taotie do some post-meal digestion exercises."

"Well... although in the end, the extra food won't help digestion at all."

Chen suddenly thought of some strange stories and inexplicable reports - rumors that some strange large black shadow appeared in the canal of Longmen.

"Longmen has many enemies, Officer Chen." Guan Yueli sat on the crocodile and gently stroked its head. "Even Wei Yanwu had to compromise with me. You should know how many enemies this city has."

Chen didn't say anything. She instinctively wanted to avoid the question. It wasn't because she was timid, but for some... more complicated reasons.

Ideas, positions, abilities, principles, self, and... the past and the future.

"I thought you were really fishing." She changed the subject abruptly.

"Crocodile is also fish." Guan Yueli answered as a matter of course.

"..."

Looking at Chen who had fallen silent, Guan Yueli smiled even brighter: "You didn't come to see me just to disturb me fishing, did you, Officer Chen?"

At this moment, Chen, who had been interrupted, remembered his business and immediately declared again in a serious tone:

"I'm going to arrest you, Guan Yueli!"

Chapter 20: What is the cruelest thing?

"How dare you insult Master Guanyue!"

A lion-like roar rang out from the Yakuza in the back, and a burly man with a ferocious face strode out:

"Don't even think about taking a single step out of the natural talent group today!"

Chen turned around and looked at him expressionlessly: "You want to attack the police?"

"Assaulting the police?"

The burly man looked cruel and violent: "If what you just said is heard by all the Eastern Kingdom Jidao of Longmen, we will unite and attack the Guard Bureau the next day!"

"Hey, eh, it's over."

The burly man was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded loudly: "What should I do, Master Guanyue!"

"Take your people out first. I'll talk to Officer Chen."

"Yes! Do you need me to apologize to Officer Chen?"

"Um...Xiao Chen?" Guan Yue tilted her head to look at her, "Do you want this big idiot to apologize?"

Chen looked at Guan Yueli expressionlessly: "Talk about us."

"Good boy." Guan Yueli nodded with a smile, "If you had asked Shanjie to apologize to you just now, I would have given you a little...education on Wei Yanwu's behalf."

"……snort."

Chen ignored Guan Yueli's threats. She didn't bother to argue with such a reckless man. "Whether you want to make excuses or confess, you either need to explain the accident to me, or... just come back to the Guard Bureau with me."

She sneered and said, "I want to see how Wei Yanwu ends up."

"Huh? Car accident?"

Guan Yueli looked bewildered: "What car accident?"

"..."

Although some people say that old people can become clever, Guan Yueli definitely has no idea what clever she is, but Chen vaguely feels that... she doesn't seem to be lying.

"Li Youliang, the son of the Li Group, is now lying half-dead in the hospital."

Chen frowned: "Didn't you hit him?"

"Will I bump into someone?" Guan Yueli's expression actually looked a little... angry?

"Are you underestimating my driving skills, Officer Chen?"

List:"……"

"I'm a woman who can cross the financial district during rush hour in five minutes, and you actually suspect I'll get into a car accident?"

"And let me tell you something." Guan Yueli said seriously, "If I had really hit that guy, I guarantee he would have died instantly. There wouldn't even be a complete corpse left."

"...It's not necessarily you who hit him."

Chen quickly realized that it might be that the dandy young man who loved racing was racing on the road and crashed into the iron... mountain of Guanyueli.

"He hit me?"

Guan Yueli was slightly stunned, then narrowed his eyes and thought carefully.

"Now that you mention it, it seems like a few days ago... a week ago? I forgot, there was indeed such a guy..."

"Oh, now I remember, that guy did bump into me."

Guan Yueli suddenly realized something and punched his palm: "And then, then he died. Oh, he didn't die."

"What does that have to do with me?" Guan Yueli squinted at her. "He hit me and killed himself. Is that my fault?"

The Longmen laws really don't explain this. If a car hits someone and the person is not hurt at all, while the car owner almost kills himself, whose fault is it?

“…It can’t be counted, but we still need to understand the specific situation.”

Chen took a deep breath and tilted his head slightly. "I'm sorry, I didn't identify you as a suspect without rigorous verification. Could you please come with me to the Guard Bureau?"

Because he was too anxious after learning the truth, Chen did not consider Guanyue's role in this case for a while. After realizing his mistake, Chen's attitude softened a lot.

"Oh?" Guan Yueli's eyes lit up. "You've grown a lot. Okay, it's not a big deal. Let's go."

Just when Chen thought the matter was settled and she could wait and see what Wei Yanwu would do, her phone suddenly rang.

"Officer Chen."

Her boss's voice came through the phone: "The case is closed. You are no longer responsible."

"……What!?"

anger.

Extreme anger.

She originally thought that Wei Yanwu would have some tricks up his sleeve, but... in the end, after she got the answer, he just declared the end in a rude and ridiculous manner?

Chen suppressed his anger, maintaining his last bit of rationality and asked his superior in a cold voice:

"A reason. I need a reason, sir."

If his answer was "You don't need to know" or "My superiors asked me to", then Chen would pick up Chi Xiao and kick open Wei Yanwu's office door today.

However, the officer's answer was not the same.

"The reporter applied to withdraw the case, and we agreed."

This was her answer.

Chen froze in place, her throat burning, her palms ablaze, her heart beating with rage and determination, but her brain was ice-cold.

The reporter...applies for withdrawal?

why?

"Furthermore, once they learned that you had found the 'culprit,' they immediately set out to find you."

Chen seemed to hear his superior sigh.

"Just watch carefully, Xiao Chen, and don't blame anyone."

The phone hangs up.

Just when Chen was standing there in a daze, the group of extreme gangsters came back, but this time... they brought two people with them.

"Lord Kanyue."

The burly leader, Shanjie, bowed respectfully. "I wanted to help you with these two problems, but I dare not overstep my bounds. I'll leave it to you to decide."

"Hmm?"

Crouching beside the crocodile with one hand supporting his chin, Guan Yueli, who was having fun, looked back in confusion: "What's going on again?"

Yamasuke made way, and the younger brother behind him came out with a man and a woman and took off the rags from their mouths.

Chen stood there like an outsider, watching the middle-aged man and woman, who should be a couple, walk up to Guan Yueli with fear on their faces.

kneel.

"Please... forgive me."

The man pressed his forehead to the ground. "I failed to discipline my wife and son. I'm willing to pay the price! Anything is fine! But please... spare my hard work!"

Guan Yueli didn't look at him and was still teasing her little pet - after all, it had not finished eating the meat in her hand.

After the big crocodile had eaten all the meat, Guan Yueli wiped her hands, remained squatting, turned around, and looked at the man kneeling on the ground with her hands on her chin.

A look of confusion.

"Who are you?"

These three words froze the trembling man.

That kind of…stiffness that turns into a soulless and dead sculpture.

"Is such that."

Shanjie stepped forward to explain, "Master Guanyue rescued a mother and daughter who were nearly killed more than half a month ago."

"Oh, oh, oh, now that you mention it, I remember." Guan Yueli's face was full of joy, "That little girl is very cute."

"That reckless speeding idiot is the son of these two men."

Yamajie gave the couple a blank look. "They first reported the case to the Imperial Guards, but after receiving no further information, they decided to do something else."

"Ah... okay, okay, I get it."
