It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 658 Liu Zheng: That's right, I'm just a troublemaker.
"It's very complicated. Some people saw Wangcai appear in the old town, but the Criminal Investigation Bureau searched the old town from top to bottom and still couldn't find it."

"Of course, it's hard to say exactly how much effort was put into turning things upside down."

Ace said.

"Ah."

Liu Zhengneng has quite a few connections in the old city, including the Pink Kingdom, the Dark Elves, and Morrison Elementary School.

It's a pity that Luo Ping has already been sent by him to investigate Bai Tianshi's matter, otherwise it would have been very appropriate to entrust this matter to Luo Ping.

"Do you want to see the rest?"

The ace asked.

"No need. Brother Pai, please continue to keep an eye on things for me. Contact me anytime if there's any news."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay. To be honest, I'm from the Public Security Department, so this is about all the help I can give you. You might as well ask others; they might have more direct and effective solutions."

The ace finally offered a word of advice.

"A more direct and effective solution?"

He stared at his phone for a while, then dialed 4399.

"what's up?"

4399 asked.

"Are you aware that the Criminal Investigation Bureau is planning to arrest me?"

Liu Zheng countered with a question.

"I don't know. What happened?"

“I killed a former member of a special operations team. I could have easily let it go. But the people from the Criminal Investigation Bureau were resentful that I hadn’t shared the credit for my role in the last time I wiped out the Primal God Cult. So they fought with the General Office for jurisdiction and even arrested one of my friends.”

He explained the matter clearly in just a few words.

"Wait a minute, let me ask."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng waited for almost half an hour before 4399 called back.

Why did you kill that former special operations team member?

4399 asked.

“He abused one of my friends, and that friend asked me to help him get revenge.”

he replied.

"The situation is very complicated."

"Brother 4399, I can't listen to anything too complicated right now."

4399 was about to explain to Liu Zheng when Liu Zheng interrupted him.

"."

4399 was silent.

In his eyes, Liu Zheng had always been a very polite person, even to the point of being obsequious.

Even when discussing allocating a 100 million yuan procurement quota to the "Refuse Pets" faction, their attitude was extremely humble.

But now Liu Zheng interrupted him very rudely, which shows that the deliveryman was really angry this time.

"Then tell me what you think."

After a moment of silence, 4399 finally spoke.

"First, can the organization help me get the Sphinx out?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“It’s difficult. The Criminal Investigation Bureau is the most powerful department in the Public Security Bureau, and you have indeed broken the law this time. Although they can’t enter the restaurant to arrest you, it is reasonable and legal for them to summon relevant personnel for questioning.”

4399 replied.

"Shouldn't the jurisdiction of the case fall under the General Office? Even if a summons is required, it should be issued by the General Office."

The meaning of "ace" is clearly that if the case is handled by the General Office, then there's basically nothing to worry about.

"The General Office has jurisdiction over that former special operations team member, but it is not a judicial department. So theoretically, even if the case ultimately falls under the jurisdiction of the General Office, it should be the Public Security Department that investigates the case thoroughly before transferring the relevant personnel to the General Office for processing."

4399 explained.

"It's really complicated."

Liu Zheng sighed.

Both the cases and the relationships were so complicated that they almost triggered his irritability.

"Brother 4399, I just want to ask you one question."

He said.

"You ask."

Are we on their side?

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes. You and the organization, you and me, are all on the same side."

4399 said with certainty.

"Okay. I just want to resolve this matter in the most direct and effective way. Tell me what to do, and I'll do it. As for taking the blame, you can take the fall for me, okay?"

he asked.

When Liu Zheng asked him a question, 4399 gripped his phone tightly.

He had never felt that his specially purchased slim business phone was so heavy, as heavy as the gazes of the other members of the "Rejection Faction" on him after confirming that the woman had defected to the "Hybrid Faction".

Would you betray the "rejection faction"?

4399 asked.

“I don’t know. But Brother 4399, as long as you don’t betray me, I won’t betray you. If one day you are also imprisoned, whether it’s because of me or not, I will do everything I can to save you, just like I do now.”

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

Can't you wish me something good?

4399 couldn't help but complain after hearing this.

"Huh? Hehe."

It was rare to hear 4399 complain, so he chuckled mischievously.

"As long as you help me rescue the Sphinx, I guarantee I'll go to all the gods and pray that you'll get a promotion, a raise, marry a beautiful and rich woman, become a deputy director, and reach the pinnacle of life."

Liu Zheng agreed.

As for why it's not the Director General, it's because the Director General of the Border Management Agency is the Speaker of the Supreme Council.

"Then you should go and pay respects to our Director; that would be more effective."

4399 picked up on this joke.

"Hehe, does that mean Brother 4399 agrees?"

He used a stick to strike the snake.

"If I don't agree, are you going to break off all ties with me?"

4399 asked in return.

"Not necessarily. You still need to distinguish between organizational relationships and personal friendships."

Liu Zheng said tactfully.

"If you're so clear about the distinctions, you won't go far in the organization."

4399 reminded.

"As long as you, Brother 4399, go far, that's all that matters. I'll follow behind you and be your slave, while you walk in front of me and shield me from the wind and rain."

he said with a smile.

"Grumpy."

4399 hung up the phone.

However, he quickly retaliated.

“The Criminal Investigation Bureau has a trading company that specializes in helping them sell the confiscated stolen goods or evidence. Sometimes they also help them purchase items that are difficult to obtain through the proper procurement process.”

"Go smash it, then detain the person, and we'll handle the rest."

"Remember, just smash things, don't kill anyone."

4399 instructed.

"Can't we just beat someone up without killing them?"

"Take care of the details yourself. Write down the address."

He gave Liu Zheng the address of the business.

"To dare to sell stolen goods and evidence privately is no ordinary corruption. As a concerned citizen of the metropolis, I must strike hard!"

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and said indignantly.

That's what they say, but we still need to figure out how to launch the attack.

No matter how carefree the Criminal Investigation Bureau is, they will definitely arrange for capable people to guard this kind of place.

He might be able to cause trouble by himself, but detaining people would be beyond his capabilities; he'd need to find another helper.

But now he has arranged for the Nile Doctors and the others to hide in the sewers, and even if they weren't hiding, he doesn't want them involved in the struggle with the Criminal Investigation Department.

"Who should I ask for help?"

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

"Have it!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately called Silver Wolf.

"Brother-in-law, are you busy?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Whether you're busy or not, you still have to tell me."

Since the family dinner, Silver Wolf's attitude towards him has become increasingly casual, or rather, intimate.

"This is the matter."

He told Silver Wolf about the conflict with the Criminal Investigation Department.

"What do you want me to do?"

Silver Wolf asked.

“There’s definitely something illegal or non-compliant in what they’re selling and buying. When the time comes, I’ll take the lead as a concerned citizen and storm the place up. Brother-in-law, you’ll lead the team to arrest people and confiscate their things.”

"Of course, you have to leave a few people for me so I can negotiate with the Criminal Investigation Department later."

Liu Zheng said.

"Well, but I'm in charge of food distribution. Are you sure that the shop is selling illegal or non-compliant food?"

Silver Wolf raised a question.

"I don't know, but I guarantee you'll be able to seize any illegal or non-compliant food products, brother-in-law," he said with a grin.

"Okay, once you're ready, send me the address, and I'll personally lead the team there."

Silver Wolf agreed after a moment's thought.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. By the way, how's that lecherous bald monk's situation going?"

"It's all settled. He didn't even ask for the money. When he heard you were my brother-in-law, he immediately said it was a huge mistake and offered to treat you to a meal as an apology."

"Silver Wolf said."

"She's quite adaptable; no wonder she's been transferred to so many departments. Well then, brother-in-law, I'll go and make preparations now."

"Well, let's go."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone.

The General Office, the faction that refuses favor, the Market Supervision Department—he's going to stir this up even more murky than the water in a sewer. Let's see how tough the Criminal Investigation Bureau is to fight against so many forces.

He smiled smugly and then called the white-feathered chicken.

"Head Chef, are you busy?"

"Let it go if you fart."

The white-feathered chickens were even more aggressive.

It's hard to say whether this is a sign of closeness.

"Then I'll release it. Do you have any particularly illegal or non-compliant food items?"

Liu Zheng asked cautiously.

"What are you going to do?"

The white-feathered pheasant did not give a direct answer, but this statement implicitly confirmed the answer.

"That's it"

He then briefly explained the whole story.

"So I want to buy some nice stuff from you to use as a scapegoat."

"Go back to the delivery department now, I'll be right there."

The white-feathered rooster replied decisively after hearing this.

"Okay. Oh, and it would be best if you could also bring me some proper food that can replenish my energy."

Liu Zheng added.

His energy reserves had already been used up at the lottery shop, and his current condition was not suitable for replenishing them at the Yakuza Soup.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng immediately rushed back to the lounge.

Almost the instant he closed the door, the knocking began.

He quickly opened the door, and sure enough, there were white-feathered chickens outside.

"for you."

The white-feathered chicken handed him a thermal box.

It's called one insulated box, but it actually contains three.

The large one is inside the middle one, the middle one is inside the small one, the large one and the middle one are plastic, and the innermost small one is metal.

"This is a particularly illegal and non-compliant food item you ordered. Don't open it, or you'll face the consequences."

The white-feathered pheasant said coldly.

Then it took off its chef's hat and handed it to Liu Zheng.

"Stick your head out, open your mouth and eat whatever you bite."

it said.

"it is good."

Without saying a word, Liu Zheng stuck his head into the chef's hat.

Before he even opened his mouth, something was already being forced into it.

Their lively, jumping movements were like those of slippery, venomous snakes.

Liu Zheng felt a chill run down his spine, but in order to replenish his strength, he forced himself to open his mouth.

Fishy, ​​foul, salty, sour, rotten, like bean curd residue, like pustules, dancing in his mouth, biting his tongue.
Liu Zheng steeled his heart and swallowed everything that came his way.

"enough."

After a hearty meal, the white-feathered chicken grabbed his seaweed head and pulled him out of his hat.

"Hiccup~"

Liu Zheng let out a burp.

Although he had only eaten for a few minutes, he was already incredibly full.

"Head Chef, how much are these?"

After pausing for a moment, he asked.

"Don't think of me as shameless as cattle or horses."

The white-feathered chicken said disdainfully, then turned and left.

"Stylish".

He erected a large tentacle.

Although white-feathered chickens always have a smelly bottom, they are truly excellent at doing things for chickens.

After thinking for a moment, he called the driver again.

"Did you lose your car?"

The driver cut in front.

"It wasn't lost, it was taken away by the Criminal Investigation Bureau."

Liu Zheng corrected.

"what happened?"

"I asked the driver."

"So that's what happened."

He recounted the events once more.

"Then you're in for a loss. Even at a friendly price, that car is worth at least 20 million."

The driver said with pity.

Although it's just an ordinary sports car, without any military technology or black magic added, it's made of gold, so what can you do about it?

"Paying compensation is fine. I want you to negotiate with the Criminal Investigation Bureau to get the car back."

Liu Zheng said.

"It's hard."

The driver shook his head.

The Bloody Restaurant ignores the City Hall, and the City Hall ignores the Bloody Restaurant in return.

"Whether we get them back or not is not important; the key is to put pressure on them."

He said.

Since it's already turned into a mahjong game, let's just add another game and turn it into a five-player Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

How much pressure do you want?

"I asked the driver."

"Turn the metropolis into a battlefield?"

"Hahaha!"

The driver let out a sinister yet unrestrained laugh.

"I admire your idea, Liu Zheng. It's a pity I don't have that ability."

"What stands before you is nothing but a remnant soul, a pathetic creature existing under the restaurant's protection."

His laughter gradually turned into a cold laugh.

"Of course, I can still put some pressure on you."

Just when Liu Zheng thought he was going to refuse, the driver said something else.

"Colonel, could you please not breathe so heavily next time you speak? It's scary."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, then complained.

"What are you planning to offer me in exchange for your help this time?"

"I asked the driver."

"Uh, I don't know."

He really couldn't think of anything he had that the driver would want.

"Then shut up, I'll say whatever I want."

The driver said bluntly.

"Okay, okay, you're the boss, you've had some garlic."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

The guys in the Metropolitan are all incredibly difficult to please; they're even worse when they're picking on him, and even worse when they're trying to help him.

"I'll wait for you outside."

The driver hung up the phone.

As Liu Zheng walked out of the delivery lane, a yellow sidecar motorcycle was already parked at the entrance.

Although it's a sidecar motorcycle, its appearance is on a completely different level from the kind commonly seen in anti-Japanese war dramas. The exposed transparent pipes and crystal parts look both retro and futuristic.

"boarding."

The driver appeared and waved to him.

"I lost my car, and you still rented it to me. Won't the restaurant cause you trouble?"

Liu Zheng expressed his concern for him.

"Who said I was going to rent it to you? I was just going to pick up the car, and I was just giving you a ride along the way."

the driver said.

"Oh, that's okay."

Liu Zheng sat down in the side compartment, and then naturally placed his hand on the machine gun.

"City Hall, the smell of gunpowder is in the air again. Are you happy? I'm certainly happy. Hahaha!"

The driver laughed wildly as he started the engine, and the sidecar motorcycle sped away, belching out thick black smoke.
