Opening an office in Taila

"What does this mean?" This was Emperor Fyodor of Ursus's subconscious reaction. Then he understood something. He immediately dismissed his attendants, leaving only Song Yufeng and Fyodor in the hall.

“Tell me about it,” Fyodor said.

“Serious corruption exists in Jilin City and other major cities, with problems such as shoddy workmanship in engineering projects. This chain of interests involves a huge number of people, including many high-ranking central government officials. This is a report I have compiled; please take a look.” Song Yufeng showed Fedor a thick stack of documents.

Fedor was already furious after reading only half of it.

“For so long, for so long! I haven’t received a single report about this! Never!” Fyodor stood up angrily, then said, “Those guys in the engineering department, and those bastards in Keeling City, I’m going to hang them all!”

After Fyodor calmed down a bit, he said seriously, "This is really a tricky matter. If we arrest all these guys, there will be huge vacancies, and Killing City will probably collapse."

"Yes, similar things happen in other cities, but they are not nearly as serious as in Jilin City. My idea is that all those involved in the case in Jilin City should be arrested and severely punished. In other cities, we should arrest a few key figures. Although this will cause some chaos in the government for a while, it is better than complete paralysis. As for the central government, all those involved should at least be punished, and those with serious offenses should be arrested directly. At this critical moment, there must be no trouble in the rear."

Fyodor pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, you go ahead and arrange the manpower. Give me a few days, and I'll coordinate some replacement appointments for officials to minimize government chaos."

The local police certainly couldn't be trusted with manpower. Although there was no evidence pointing to the involvement of the Ursus military system, Song Yufeng was still uneasy. After much thought, he thought of a unit, an inconspicuous unit, namely the regular forces of the Underworld Empire. This unit was composed of a large number of gang members, as well as some ordinary people and infected individuals. During the civil war, this unit was responsible for assisting the Underworld Empire's Imperial Guard in combat and made great sacrifices. After the war, Song Yufeng gave them high honors and treatment and reorganized them. They were no longer a ragtag army, but had a proper designation—the Underworld Empire People's Army.

This unit is mainly responsible for maintaining order in the local area and assisting the police, but their command has always been handled by Talulah. Now that Talulah is on her way to Victoria, command has returned to Song Yufeng's hands.

Due to the prolonged peace, the People's Army had not been mobilized much in the past few months, causing them to gradually fade from people's view. The Minghuang Imperial Guard was so prominent that few people would pay attention to them.

Including those officials, who bribed the police but completely forgot about the existence of the People's Army.

Without further ado, Song Yufeng directly commanded and mobilized the People's Army, and more than 400,000 People's Army soldiers immediately set off, pouring into various cities in a mighty force.

Only then did some people realize something was wrong and try to run away, but they had already been blocked by the People's Army deployed by Song Yufeng. Police? Even the Ursus regular army couldn't stop them! These People's Army soldiers were already full of resentment from being forgotten and idle. Now that they finally had a chance to prove themselves, they were not about to give it up. They were all like wolves and tigers, and even broke out in violent clashes with some local police. The police station was almost razed to the ground.

At this point, even a fool would understand that Song Yufeng and Fyodor decided to withstand all pressure and completely eliminate the corrupt elements.

At this moment, even Mayor Vissev of Kirin City was no longer so calm. He never expected that Song Yufeng would actually dare to do it, despite the pressure from so many high-ranking officials and so many bureaucrats.

Five days later, Fyodor issued the highest directive. At Song Yufeng's command, it was as if a coup had been launched in various cities. The People's Army rampaged through the city, arresting people everywhere. In particular, in Jilin City, Song Yufeng personally led the team, and they continued to rampage through the city. A large number of people were also arrested within Minghuang.

As for the capital, Saint-Germain, Song Yufeng originally wanted to send people there as well, but Fyodor stopped him because the internal security forces were already ready, and the corrupt officials in the capital were undoubtedly the most desperate.

Thus, this massive corruption case, which can be described as the largest in Terran history, came to an end. In this mega-case, 2.2 people were arrested throughout Ursus, including a large number of people such as the Minister of Police, the Deputy Minister, the Minister of Engineering, and the Minister of Commerce. The amount involved was equivalent to tens of billions of Lungmen Dollars. The Killing City government was basically completely paralyzed. Fortunately, Fyodor had made preparations in advance.

At the same time, Song Yufeng also informed the Yan Kingdom. Fortunately, the Yan Kingdom was not corrupted much, and only a few dozen people were arrested.

Just as Song Yufeng, who thought things had settled down, was preparing to return to Victoria, Vesieev gave a new confession. He had initially thought that Song Yufeng wouldn't do anything to him, but he didn't expect Song Yufeng to actually dare to do it. Since that was the case, there was no point in hiding it anymore. He had never given the order to assassinate Li Jue. Li Jue had completely orchestrated the whole thing.

That's right, Li Jue faked her death this time, and the person who poisoned her was also one of her people.

As a result, everyone's attention was drawn to Veseev, and as for her, since she was "dead," no one would care about her.

She used this opportunity to escape, but she didn't expect Song Yufeng to act so quickly. After everything was over, Li Jue was hiding and had only just reached the border of Ursus.

She attempted to cross the border illegally but was discovered by border guards and then escorted back to Jilin City.

When they met again, Song Yufeng sensed a chilling aura emanating from her.

Church of the Deep.

Song Yufeng should have guessed this long ago.

As for why she joined the Deep Sea Church, the reason is simple: she wanted to get rid of Song Yufeng and then let Lin Yuxia take over legitimately.

It's that simple.

There are no other complicated reasons.

The person who suffered the most at the execution ground was Lin Yuxia. She and Li Jue were very good friends, but now they had come to this.

"Don't you regret it?" Lin Yuxia asked.

“I don’t regret it. Never. I’ve always believed that Minghuang belongs to you, not him.”

"Is it really worth it? Thinking back to the past, all those things..." Lin Yuxia said, her eyes red.

"In the past, what you're talking about... is it the past?" Li Jue closed his eyes, seemingly recalling past stories. Finally, Lin Yuxia sighed.

"What else do you have to say?"

"If you have nothing more to say, please take action immediately!"

Thus, the Keeling corruption case finally came to an end...
