Chapter 291: Chapter 46: Sudden Attack_2

Cheng Bi said.

“Oh?”

Li Lei squinted his eyes.

The Inspection Bureau had the authority to supervise officials. As long as it desired, it could always find issues.

In this era, there were no ‘perfect’ officials. Even the most upright and unblemished could be found to have numerous problems since the system itself was imperfect and full of loopholes.

Therefore, if the Inspection Bureau really targeted the Zhi Ge Department, everyone from Li Lei as the acting Inspector General to the most ordinary team leader could have issues dug up.

Of course, Li Lei felt he had no major faults that others could exploit. Even if some minor problems were truly uncovered, it wouldn’t hurt him badly.

But some of his subordinates might truly not withstand scrutiny.

The Inspection Bureau’s reaction was naturally also part of the Chen Family’s retaliation.

Compared to the obstruction from the Internal Affairs Office, this kind of counterattack was genuinely fierce!

Fortunately, Li Lei also had allies within the Inspection Bureau.

After Gu Zhenhui’s resignation, the forces he left behind in the Inspection Bureau chose to ally with Li Lei. That’s why Cheng Bi had been very close to Li Lei over the last six months.

“Thanks, Brother Cheng.”

Li Lei expressed his gratitude.

“You don’t have to be polite, Brother Li. How is it progressing?”

Cheng Bi asked.

Li Lei had informed him beforehand about the move against the Chen Family.

“The people we’ve captured are being interrogated. We just need a few key individuals, and then the chain of evidence will be complete.”

Li Lei said.

Cheng Bi: “Good, as soon as you make your move, I can initiate action immediately!”

“Great.”

Li Lei hung up the phone and then made another call.

A few minutes later, Lu Sheng walked into his office.

“Inspector General.”

“Old Lu, lead a team and head to Chen Village!”

“Alright.”

Lu Sheng nodded.

Over the past few days, the Zhi Ge Department had been secretly investigating Chen Village through the intelligence provided by Li Fei. The investigation revealed many issues.

The Chen Family was relatively low-profile in Xing City, but in Chen Village, they were like tyrannical emperors, acting arrogantly and committing numerous crimes.

The accusations made by Lu Sheng when capturing members of the Chen Family weren’t fabricated; they were indeed factual.

So now, he needed to capture a few key individuals in Chen Village.

“This time Xiao Fei will join your team.”

A smile appeared on Li Lei’s face.

“Xiao Fei? He’s back?”

Lu Sheng was taken aback.

“Yes, he’s back from his leave.”

“There’s still some risk with Xiao Fei going.”

Lu Sheng, unaware of Li Fei’s achievements, couldn’t help but warn.

Once bitten, twice shy.

After he experienced a tragedy with his own son during an operation, the shadow in his heart never faded.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Fei is very capable now.”

Li Lei said with a smile, a look of pride appearing on his face.

Li Fei had defeated a peak Qi Change Stage practitioner who had ingested a Limit-breaking Pill on the Dragon and Tiger Platform. With such combat power in Xing City, as long as he didn’t face someone at the Tao Foundation Stage, there would be no match for him!

Therefore, Li Lei was very confident about this operation.

“That’s relieving.”

Lu Sheng didn’t say more and turned to leave the office.

Soon, the Zhi Ge Department’s most powerful first team in Xing City was assembled.

In addition, the Zhi Ge Court dispatched reinforcements: a total of one official martial master, four martial masters, and fifteen Body Breaking Stage martial artists.

The team got into vehicles, and a line of vans drove out of the Zhi Ge Department’s gates.

As the convoy was about to leave the city, another car joined and left the city with them.

In that car, Li Fei was driving, with Li Tianyu sitting in the passenger seat.

Li Fei had only told Li Lei that he would accompany them on this mission but had not informed Li Lei that Li Tianyu was also going.

Currently at the Body Breaking Late Stage of cultivation, Li Tianyu needed life-and-death experiences to breakthrough. This was why Li Fei was thinking of taking Li Tianyu to Chen Village during this opportunity.

With his current strength, returning to Xing City felt like a high-level account coming back to redo a low-level village dungeon.

He had enough confidence to protect Li Tianyu.

“My dad really doesn’t know? When we go back, won’t he give us hell?”

Li Tianyu now realized that Li Lei was unaware of this.

“Do you want to turn back now?”

Li Fei turned his head to look at her and asked with a smile,

“Not going back?”

Tian Yu’s face was alight with excitement, “Once we get there, if a fight really breaks out, you’re not allowed to just jump in carelessly, okay? Don’t scare them off; leave some for me.”

“Okay.”

Li Fei looked ahead, saying calmly.

The direction the convoy took to leave the city was opposite to that of Chen Village. After driving for a while and confirming no one was following, the convoy suddenly turned and headed in the direction of Chen Village.

The journey was silent, and after more than two hours, the convoy neared Chen Village.

The road that followed was narrow and rugged, making it impossible to continue by vehicle.

So, everyone got out and proceeded on foot toward Chen Village.

The experts from the Zhi Ge Court acted as scouts at the forefront, if they encountered any villagers along the way, they would take control of them to prevent any messages from getting out.

It was only when the main force was within the last two kilometers of Chen Village that an alarm was triggered, and the village began to react.

“Everyone, run!”

Leading the team, Lu Sheng issued the order decisively.

Over a hundred people swiftly ran toward Chen Village.

Soon, the forefront experts from the Zhi Ge Court were the first to charge into the village:

“Nobody move, hands on your heads and squat on the ground!”

They shouted while firing their guns into the air.

For these villagers, the deterrence of guns was far stronger than that of swords.

Instant chaos ensued in the village.

The Zhi Ge Court’s martial artists quickly spread out, intending to encircle the entire Chen Village and prevent anyone from escaping.

Li Fei, with Tian Yu in tow, also entered the large-scale village.

Li Fei carried the Ghost Slash Blade, while Tian Yu held a Red Tassel Spear in her hands.

This was her weapon.

“What do we do next?”

Tian Yu asked Li Fei subconsciously.

Li Fei pointed to a building in the distance and said with a smile:

“That should be the residence of an important figure in Chen Village, dare to rush into the Dragon Pond?”

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare!”

Having said that, Tian Yu charged spear in hand toward that direction.

Li Fei followed behind her with ease.

Soon, Tian Yu reached the building Li Fei had pointed out earlier.

The peripheral wall was very tall, there were even bunkers inside!

Without hesitation, Tian Yu took a running start, accelerated, and with a kick against the wall, effortlessly leaped over the four-meter-tall wall.

Li Fei followed her, not even bothering to take a run-up – with a ‘light’ leap, like crossing over a threshold, he landed inside the wall.

“Who’s there?!”

They had just landed when a commotion erupted from all around.

Several guards, armed with knives and Powerful Crossbows, were stationed near the wall.

“We’re from the Inspection Bureau on a case! All of you, drop your weapons and squat with your hands on your heads now!”

Tian Yu, holding her spear, commanded authoritatively.

“Go squat on your mother!”

“Kill them—”

Swoosh—

Swoosh—

Without any hesitation, two guards pulled the triggers of their Powerful Crossbows, firing two arrows at Li Fei and Tian Yu.

Since ancient times, the Emperor’s power didn’t extend into remote villages; in these hidden corners, local strongmen held the ultimate sway.

In places like Chen Village, for instance, many only recognized the name ‘Chen’ – as for court laws, they didn’t exist at all!

Li Fei easily dodged the incoming arrows, while Tian Yu was taken aback, not expecting the enemy to attack immediately.

Just as the arrows were about to hit her, she swung her iron spear, deflecting the arrows in the nick of time.

The spear is one of the most difficult of all cold Weapons to master, but Tian Yu chose to practice spearmanship upon entering Wuda.

Apart from her personal liking, she also had a high talent for it.

During high school, her Martial Art was the best in the Zhi Ge Department, revealing her exceptional talent.

This talent flourished even further after entering Wuda.

Seeing the enemies preparing to shoot more arrows, a fierce look emerged in Tian Yu’s eyes.

Her dream was to become a female General of the Da Lan Dynasty.

This moment marked the first battle for the future female General!

Facing the incoming arrows, Tian Yu, spear in hand, charged forward.
