Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 534 - 112 There’s No Other Way Right Now

There’s an old saying: if the leader says you can do it, you can do it even if you can’t. If the leader says you can’t, you can’t even if you can.

Some people easily fall into the trap of a passive self-justification cycle, where a single negative comment from someone else triggers self-reflection on their own deficiencies. If someone accuses them of paying for only one bowl of noodles after eating two, they’d be compelled to open up their belly to prove their innocence.

Wang Yunxiao, however, had no such hobby for self-justification. It wasn’t about beginning his calculations from the point of accepting money, but rather from the moment Old Master He took out the Imperial Jade Seal. The Shen Family was certainly not full of good people, and the Swallow Sect had stolen and hidden the Jade Seal for over a decade. Now that they suddenly brought it out to stir up trouble, could they be considered good?

Who are you trying to prove you’re a good person to, and what’s the point after you’ve proved it?

Good people are meant to be pointed at with guns!

Wang Yunxiao’s initial goal was very simple: since he owed a debt of gratitude to Old Master He and had taken on the title of his disciple, it was only natural that he should assume the enmities and grudges of his master’s Jianghu past.

Old Master He put it well—we are just common people. We don’t understand what it means to have foresight or to keep our strengths hidden. We only know one simple and fundamental truth: the Imperial Jade Seal must not be used to betray our country!

The kingdom that our ancestors struggled to build, not an inch of land is superfluous, so how could we allow a traitor within the family to sell it off?

The sparrow does not understand the ambitions of the swan; the swallows only know how to take care of the family.

If the people of the Shen Family would obediently hand over the Jade Seal without any tricks, Wang Yunxiao would not wish to be entangled with them.

But the problem was that they not only had tricks up their sleeves, but also had too many ideas.

The incident where Li Mumu almost got kidnapped completely crossed the bottom line for Wang Yunxiao. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

If it were aimed at me, that would be one thing. Or even if you said kidnapping her was aimed at me, I would have accepted it.

Is that the case? No!

Eldest Miss Li neither provoked nor offended anyone; she was entirely an innocent victim of unwarranted disaster.

She was just visiting a sick person and got kidnapped upon leaving; after the kidnapping failed, they randomly chose a pedestrian to chop off a hand.

Well, that nameless woman ended up with just a hand lost, her neck broken by someone else, sorcery cast upon her, and then blown up along with all the night-shift doctors and nurses.

That’s all.

You, Wang Yunxiao, did take the Shen Family’s money!

Unforgivable! Heaven cannot tolerate this!

After clarifying Jiang Wuyang’s intentions, Wang Yunxiao no longer regarded him as a human being.

The lad showed very typical symptoms of being bewitched: he had formed a fixed perception in his own mind, and no matter what others said, it wouldn’t shake him, only making him more extreme and obstinate.

Wang Yunxiao had seen this before; it was the Flower Amidst Guests’ method.

The last Flower Amidst Guest he encountered was Mr. Tong. Their methods are truly sly and unpredictable, hiding amongst the crowd and stirring people’s hearts with words, secretly fanning the flames.

Luckily that day happened in broad daylight, and he was facing a group of Garrison Soldiers with high resistance who could not be bewitched, so his abilities couldn’t be fully utilized. Otherwise, if it had been somewhere else, Wang Yunxiao might not have been able to handle him.

Thinking back, that incident also seemed to be because of Li Mumu.

Is Eldest Miss Li a disaster magnet? How does she attract these demons and evil spirits everywhere she goes, just like Elder Tang?

Do you have some sort of blood relation to that panda named Zhou?

Even though they say if you are sick, you need treatment, Wang Yunxiao didn’t think it was necessary.

Looking at Jiang Wuyang’s bloodshot eyes, Wang Yunxiao thought he was just fine as he was.

How can you know what shit tastes like if you haven’t eaten it?

So disdainful of Special Service Section personnel, thinking you can deal with demons and evil spirits with your little pistol, well, give it a try!

"Can we talk?"

Jiang Wuyang glared at Wang Yunxiao with gritted teeth, "You dare..."

Wang Yunxiao raised his hand to cover his mouth and shoved the gun barrel into his mouth, calmly asking, "Can we talk? I won’t ask a third time."

"I am from the Supervision Bureau... Bang—!"

The bullet went straight through the mouth, taking his rear molar through his cheek and out into the air.

Jiang Wuyang’s eyes rolled back, and his pants grew warm and wet.

"As you can see, this person has been contaminated; his brain isn’t working right."

Wang Yunxiao wiped the gun barrel and said to Xiao Ke, who stood beside him in shock, "Since you’ve come by car, you can take him back. If it’s too much trouble, just drop him off at the Supervision Bureau’s doorstep. Remember to tell them he’s contaminated. If they have any problems, they can contact the Special Service Bureau or come find me."

"So you’re really tearing your face off with them?"

"Don’t spout nonsense. Since you’ve brought Chen Yuguang along, just leave him here."

Wang Yunxiao walked up to Chen Yuguang, kindly patted his shoulder, and smiled, "Kid, you’ve been with the Special Service Section for quite some time and haven’t really faced a true test. This time, I’ll give you a chance."

"But, Chief, I haven’t had breakfast yet!"

Chen Yuguang frowned miserably, I’m just a college student who knows nothing. It would be great if you immortals didn’t drag me into your fights, right?

The incident at the Nederland Embassy was already thrilling enough, wasn’t it? And that was just a few days ago!

"You’re a college student; you need to have confidence in yourself."

Wang Yunxiao put his arm around Chen Yuguang’s shoulder and dragged him to the seat he had just vacated. "Please continue to go through these documents for me and notify me immediately if you find any leads. I’ll leave two people with you to ensure your safety."

"But... what counts as a lead?"

Chen Yuguang was completely confused, what exactly do you want me to investigate?

"It’s not important."

"Not important?"

"Yes, what’s important is that you stay and keep looking."

.......

"What exactly does he want to do? What exactly does he want to do?"

Shen Zhidong flung the ashtray furiously against the wall, staring at the line of subordinates who stood before him nodding and bowing, feeling a suffocating tightness in his chest that made it difficult to breathe.

Today, he finally realized what it meant to deal with a mad dog.

One cannot predict the actions of a mad dog with normal human logic.

Wang Yunxiao had come to him to take Shen Qingxi’s address, and just when he thought Wang was going to find Shen Qingxi, Wang turned around, arrested his lawyer, and then went off to investigate the law firm.

Is that something just anyone can investigate? What if they find something?

Shen Zhidong called the police station, requesting their assistance. However, the chief of police in the Seaside District was ambiguous in his response, not outright refusing help, but suggesting that even if he sent officers, they would not be able to solve the problem.

How could they not solve the problem? As public servants, did they dare to refuse arrest?

They dared.

When Shen Zhidong received the news that the Supervision Bureau’s investigation team had been brutally subdued and disarmed by the Special Service Section’s team, he was completely stunned.

Why? Didn’t he know the consequences of such actions?

Shen Zhidong took a deep breath and continued to make calls.

"Hello, this is the Tianmen City Special Service Bureau."

"This is Shen Zhidong, please connect me with the head of the Intelligence Division, Qiao Hongyi."

"Sorry, we cannot connect you."

"I said I am Shen Zhidong!"

"Beep..."

The person on the other end of the line had hung up on him.

Crap! A bunch of crap!

Shen Zhidong wished he could smash the phone then and there.

Damn Special Service Bureau, it’s one thing to not take responsibility normally, but now that the Shen Family is in trouble, you don’t care either, what’s the point of you?

He swallowed his anger and dialed a few more numbers, hoping to find someone who could connect him with the higher-ups in the bureau, but everyone expressed their inability to help.

It’s not that you’re being targeted, Mr. Shen; it’s just that apart from acting on their own initiatives, the Special Service Bureau is known for not meddling. Everyone has had that experience.

He should have placed some of his own people inside earlier.

Only now did Shen Zhidong regret not taking Yang Mocheng’s words about the inadequacy of his connections more seriously.

But there’s no such thing as a pill for regret in this world.

Go to the military? That’s even less likely. In twenty years, the President had turned the Qilin Army into an impenetrable fortress – stretch out your hand and you’re dead.

With neither the military nor the Special Service Bureau taking action, who else could suppress the brazen and lawless behavior of Wang Yunxiao and his gang?

Whom else could he rely on now?

A thought crossed Shen Zhidong’s mind, and involuntarily, his gaze shifted to the hole in the wall of his office—a dent made by someone’s frustrated punch.
