Chapter 39 Bullying

    Jiang He’s reputation wasn’t confined to Southwind Academy; it was widely discussed among the upper echelons of Southwind City as after-dinner conversation.

    Fatty Sun never expected that this young man before him had such a legendary growth experience.

    “However, he’s still a second-tier professional. A little mischief should be fine…” he reminded. “Little brother, you can’t really do anything to him, otherwise it will be very troublesome. His identity in the Research Department is also a protective charm.”

    “Alright, I’ll follow your instructions, big brother.” Su Chen readily agreed.

    If Qi Chuan’s mouth could be opened, things would be much simpler.

    Seeing that he wasn’t insistent, Fatty Sun breathed a sigh of relief. “Hmm… go with your new colleagues. They should be back now. It’s time to celebrate the collective honor they’ve gained.”

    “I’ll also secretly follow the newly promoted second-tier professional, just to avoid any accidents,” Fatty Sun said in a relaxed tone.

    Fatty Sun led him downstairs to the Garrison Hall, which spanned three floors and was very spacious. It was filled with patrol guards who had either finished their patrols or were preparing to go out, their voices a low murmur.

    Room 0512. Fatty Sun pushed open the door, and the excited chatter inside abruptly ceased. Several gazes turned towards them.

    “Section Chief Sun…” a man stood up, bare-chested, with many scars and a short buzz cut.

    “Old Zhao, this is your new teammate, Su Chen. Get to know each other,” Fatty Sun stepped aside, revealing Su Chen.

    “Su Chen, this is Zhao Xiong, your patrol team leader.”

    Zhao Xiong looked at him strangely, and the other six also frequently glanced over.

    The “second generation” parachute, as they called him, had been announced yesterday. Everyone had complained about another freeloader.

    However, this morning, they mysteriously received a message telling them to raid a black market den, and then inexplicably received a collective Third-Class Merit.

    Some smart people quickly realized that this was tailored for that “second generation.”

    With benefits falling from the sky, their resentment naturally disappeared, and they even felt rather grateful.

    “Zhao Xiong, come with me,” Fatty Sun called Zhao Xiong away.

    Su Chen stayed to greet his teammates, four men and two women. Except for Zhao Xiong, who was a professional, the others were not, but they were not ordinary people either.

    “Lili, didn’t you say you’d repay his kindness with your body?” someone teased, looking at the woman in a crop top. She had bronzed skin, well-proportioned muscles from years of rigorous training, and shoulder-length short hair. She was quite attractive and heroic.

    “Handsome, interested?” she asked, raising an eyebrow, not daunted.

    “Alright, enough joking,” Zhao Xiong came back, and said in a deep voice, “Temporary overtime. Get your gear ready. Assemble in five minutes.”

    Everyone was surprised, and several gazes turned to Su Chen, realizing it might be related to him.

    But no one said anything else, just reopened their lockers and took out their equipment.

    “Su Chen, your combat uniform hasn’t arrived yet, so you don’t need to wear it today,” said Zhao Xiong.

    Everyone was well-trained. In four minutes, they were fully geared up, boarded the patrol vehicle, and headed to their destination.

    “Captain, what’s the mission?” a scar-faced man leaned over to ask.

    Su Chen knew from the previous self-introduction that his name was Han Da.

    “We received intelligence that a certain place might be harboring contraband,” Zhao Xiong looked straight ahead.

    “Oh.” Han Da缩 withdrew thoughtfully.

    Su Chen watched the gradually dimming light outside the window. He hadn’t expected the victim to be a second-tier professional, but he didn’t know what level professional he was.

    About half an hour later, they finally arrived at their destination, an upscale apartment complex. With their uniforms, they went straight up to the sixteenth floor.

    Thump! Thump! Thump!

    “Supervision Guards?” Qi Chuan opened the door. He had already seen Zhao Xiong and the others through the peephole and seemed somewhat bewildered.

    But only after opening the door did he discover Su Chen standing to the side, and his expression immediately changed slightly. “Su Chen? It’s you!”

    Su Chen smiled in response. “Mr. Qi Chuan, we’ve received an intelligence report that you may be harboring contraband here. We are ordered to investigate.” Zhao Xiong said meticulously.

    “Contraband?” Qi Chuan’s face turned cold, staring intently at Su Chen.

    “Get out of the way!” Han Da rudely tried to push his way in, shoving Qi Chuan, but he himself stumbled backward.

    “Are you resisting!?” Han Da’s face darkened.

    “Move aside,” Zhao Xiong said seriously.

    Su Chen glanced at Fatty Sun, who was vaguely visible at the end of the corridor.

    Qi Chuan’s face was grim. He hadn’t expected that a small vagrant from back then could now use power to oppress others.

    He knew what the other party was there for, and he knew what would happen next, but he could do nothing but reluctantly step aside.

    “Lili, check the living room. Han Da, check the bedroom…” Zhao Xiong quickly gave orders, and everyone scattered. He himself stood in the living room, staring at Qi Chuan.

    “Tsk…” Su Chen looked around the room. It wasn’t small, tidily kept, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the night view.

    More importantly, a wedding photo of him and Jiang He was still hanging on the wall.

    “You and Teacher Jiang really have deep feelings,” Su Chen said with emotion, standing before the wedding photo, stroking “Jiang He.”

    Zhao Xiong’s mouth twitched. At someone else’s house, touching photos of someone else’s wife, this was too…

    Qi Chuan’s facial muscles twitched, but his expression remained blank.

    Su Chen lowered his hand from the photo, his voice filled with emotion and longing: “Your wife, she’s so moist…”

    Flames suddenly erupted in Qi Chuan’s eyes, and the room temperature rose instantly!

    Zhao Xiong’s muscles tightened, and Lili, who was pretending to search for something nearby, widened her eyes.

    But it was only for a moment. Qi Chuan quickly composed himself, regaining his blank expression.

    Because Fatty Sun had appeared at the doorway, his seemingly plump body exuded a terrifying aura. The murderous intent in his small, beady eyes made Qi Chuan’s heart clench.

    He can really endure it… Su Chen regretted that his current identity was different. If Qi Chuan were to truly make a move, it would be an assault on a Supervision Guard, and the nature of the crime would be entirely different.

    Fatty Sun could kill him on the spot.

    “Captain, I found it.” Han Da came out of the bedroom, holding a small glass bottle, inside which was a beautiful pink flower.

    “Poppy flower, a hallucinogen, a Class A controlled substance. Please come with us, sir,” Zhao Xiong said in a deep voice.

    Qi Chuan seemed to have expected this. He just sneered and cooperatively extended his hands.

    Electromagnetic shackles clicked into place, and the group returned to the Supervision Department, throwing him into a temporary detention cell.

    “…Hmm, he’s a second-tier intermediate professional – an Alchemyst…” Zhao Xiong looked through the glass at Qi Chuan, who remained silent, then lowered his head to look at the investigation data: “His professional development progress should be less than 5%…”

    “Su Chen, we can only detain him for seven days at most,” Zhao Xiong said, looking at the young man beside him.

    “I know,” Su Chen nodded. “Can we starve him continuously?”

    “We have to provide food, but he’s a professional and has high nutritional needs. We can provide low-nutrient meals, which is almost like starving him,” Zhao Xiong said.

    “Let’s do that,” Su Chen said, then turned and left, deciding to question him a few days later.

    “Captain, what does this ‘second generation’ want? He’s not punishing him very severely,” Han Da came closer and asked slyly, “Should we add some extra seasoning?”

    “Do as he says, don’t act on your own initiative,” Zhao Xiong rebuked.

    Han Da nodded sheepishly.
