Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 228 - 151: Your Leg Is Still Lame - 152: Exaggerated the Report a Bit (End of Four-Release Day)
Then he looked at Qu Jianlei, "Jian Lei, what’s going on?"
"I just wanted to keep the peace," Qu Jianlei answered helplessly, "but they just kept pushing..."
After Ma Long heard his words, he backhanded a slap at the burly man.
Then he spoke up, "Was it under your orders?"
The burly man remained silent for a while before he sighed, "It’s the rules of the street, this time I’m blind..."
"You’re also crippled now," Ma Long said expressionlessly, pulling the trigger and blasting a hole in the man’s left knee.
The man instantly couldn’t support himself and collapsed to the ground, rolling in pain.
But he was considered tough; enduring such pain, he surprisingly didn’t make a sound.
"A man of courage," Ma Long smiled and raised his hand to fire another shot, hitting the man’s right shinbone.
"Argh!" The man cried out miserably, a heart-wrenching scream.
"Crawl to the Inspection Bureau," Ma Long sneered, "or I’ll kill you!"
Then he looked at the other thugs, "You all follow along, if you’re not afraid of death, run."
"Forget it," he thought for a moment, then shook his head and raised his wrist to call out.
"Xiao Qin, come over, drive the enforcement vehicle, and bring twenty pairs of handcuffs."
Soon, Xiao Qin drove an enforcement vehicle over.
A medium-sized van, emblazoned with large markings, and its windows were welded with metal bars.
Xiao Qin got out of the car, glanced at the smashed storefront, and then at Qu Jianlei, "What trouble did you get into?"
"Bah, a bunch of scum collecting protection money," Ma Long scoffed disdainfully, "daring to mess with Inspection Bureau people?"
Inspection Bureau people? The thugs heard this and were terrified, some directly collapsed to the ground.
The man rolling in pain was also shocked, and for a moment his wounds didn’t hurt as much.
Xiao Qin glanced at Qu Jianlei again in surprise.
"Aren’t you quite fierce? You dared to kill an Ultimate Warrior, how did these scums manage to do this to you?"
A "plop" sound followed by a foul stench spread out, it turned out someone was so scared that they lost control of their bowels.
Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, then gave a bitter smile, "I just wanted to live a low-key life, isn’t that okay?"
Xiao Qin vaguely guessed his thoughts, then shook his head.
"Since you’re with the Inspection Bureau, you shouldn’t tolerate this, you may not care, but the Inspection Bureau can’t lose face!"
Qu Jianlei sighed at this, "But I haven’t been certified as an Ultimate Warrior."
Yet Xiao Qin shook her head, "Our Inspection Bureau is all about rules, but sometimes... rules aren’t so important."
Qu Jianlei puckered his lips speechlessly, that’s precisely what he found troublesome.
He’s read plenty of legal books, but some unwritten rules about human relations aren’t recorded.
To grasp these relevant nuances, one must fully integrate into society, and he’s not only new but also a recluse.
After handcuffing everyone, another enforcement vehicle roared in, stopping as three in red uniforms disembarked.
The security officers came over, glanced at the dying thug, and then at the burly man with both legs destroyed.
Initially, they looked at the vandalized store, one of the security officers questioned Ma Long.
"This should be a security incident, sir... the Inspection Bureau isn’t responsible, right?"
"It’s none of your damn business," Ma Long rolled his eyes, "this is a case for my Inspection Bureau."
Xiao Qin snorted lightly at this, "We suspect they’re linked to the deaths of several Ultimate Warriors!"
"That’s impossible, right?" The security officer who seemed to be the leader looked puzzled, "How could they have this capability?"
He knew these thugs, all of them roamed this area.
Except for the one lying on the ground who was a Modified Warrior and had the potential to threaten an Ultimate Warrior, the others weren’t even fit to carry their shoes.
"Is it up to you to decide what’s possible or not?" Ma Long glared.
Xiao Qin tended to handle affairs more cautiously, she spoke in a serious tone.
"You’ve seen it, our Inspection Bureau’s Ultimate Warrior’s home was vandalized... can you guarantee they’re innocent?"
The leader was struck speechless upon hearing this, cursing the thugs in his heart for being so reckless: Couldn’t they have checked beforehand?
Aside from their panic, the thugs felt wronged too: This person basically never left home in over twenty days and spoke very little.
Who the hell would have thought this was an Ultimate Warrior, and one belonging to the Inspection Bureau?
The leading officer tried to make one last effort, "Two sirs, it appears to be a security event."
Xiao Qin didn’t bother with him, instead turned her head towards Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei also remained silent, merely showing interest in one of the security officers.
He had seen this one before, among the three security officers who came looking for him last time, this person was one of them.

Chapter 152: Overreported (Fourth Update)
The security officer being stared at by Qu Jianlei turned pale as if his face was made of clay, his legs trembling like a sieve.
Seeing this, Xiao Qin asked, "Jian Lei, this person is..."
"Last time he tried to forcibly rent my house," Qu Jianlei replied easily, "Two more security officers accompanied him."
"S-s-sir," the person stammered, "Didn’t we leave in the end?"
Qu Jianlei simply ignored him and looked at Ma Long, "Later, Landes came and drove them away."
The leading security officer slapped his forehead, feeling extremely troubled internally.
You’re really asking for it; you’d already encountered the Inspection Bureau people once, yet you dared to come again?
"Come here," Ma Long beckoned to the security officer with a steely expression.
The security officer dared not approach; he swiftly hid behind the leader’s back, "Sir, this is a misunderstanding."
