Chapter Seven: Zhao Wuxuan
At 6 p.m., in the senior staff apartment of Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau Branch in District 24:
"Um?"
Wang Chen, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, suddenly heard the noise coming from the bedroom. He looked sideways and saw Xu Bufan walking out of the bedroom with an unhappy look on his face.
"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"
Wang Chen put down the newspaper and expressed concern.
"Where have you been all day?"
Xu Bufan didn't answer the question.
He waited for Wang Chen in the bedroom for a whole day, but from the time he couldn't help falling asleep until he woke up, he couldn't see the latter in the bedroom.
"Going to work."
Wang Chen responded casually, and then without waiting for Xu Bufan to respond, he stood up directly, took the lead to go out while putting on his coat, and said:
"Let's go, the sun has to go down. Let's go out to eat."
The location of the senior staff apartment is very good. It is located between a commercial street and a food street. It is very convenient for eating and shopping.
"I smell barbecue. Let's go have barbecue and visit the food court. Although the development of the 24th District is very average, the various delicacies are really unique!"
Wang Chen, who had just walked out of the dormitory door, turned his nose and looked at the brightly lit food street.
Unfortunately, Xu Bufan was not in much mood to look forward to delicious food at this moment.
He quickly chased out of the apartment, stretched out his arm to stop Wang Chen and said:
"Why do I feel like you are avoiding me?"
"What's wrong with you all of a sudden? You're on the street. If anything happens, we'll talk about it when we come back after dinner."
Wang Chen changed the topic with evasive eyes.
She was indeed avoiding Xu Bufan, and even wanted to break up, because after the latter arrived in the 24th District, his various condescending, strong regional discrimination, and treating human life as trivial made her feel very strange and disgusted.
But she was indeed not ready for a complete showdown with Xu Bufan.
So she wanted to delay it first.
"Let's make it clear first before we go to eat!" Xu Bufan stretched out his hands straight and had no intention of eating.
"Okay, actually..."
Xu Bufan's reluctance also strengthened Wang Chen's determination to show off her cards, but just when she was about to explain clearly, a boy suddenly appeared in her peripheral vision, which made her stare wide-eyed and unable to finish her words.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Bufan followed Wang Chen's gaze and turned his head.
They saw a pretty boy wearing a black robe whose figure could not be seen clearly, but whose appearance should be very attractive to girls, walking towards them, and seemed to be staring at his girlfriend without knowing whether to live or die.
"You bitch! Sure enough, there is another man!" Xu Bufan "understood" everything instantly and looked at Wang Chen with wide eyes.
"What are you talking about?! Who do you think I am?!" Wang Chen was so disgusted that he grimaced, but he didn't get too angry.
The more serious the dispute becomes, the less burdensome it will be for her to show her cards.
"Sir Wang, you have to be careful, this old man has murderous intentions towards you." Fang Rui interjected without hesitation, watching the excitement.
"I'll kill you first!" Xu Bufan heard the voice and identified his position. He turned around and pulled out a claw on Fang Rui's chest.
But the latter easily dodged it.
"You still dare to hide?" After failing to succeed with the attack, Xu Bufan frantically used the power of the curse, preparing to use the curse to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent.
"Xu Bufan! Calm down! This is Fang Rui, the leader of the Hongye Gang!"
Wang Chen quickly grabbed Xu Bufan.
"Leader of Hongye Gang?"
Xu Bufan looked at Fang Rui's young face for a moment, then the blood in his eyes faded away, replaced by excitement and heat.
If he had any doubts about the 'Blood Red Bride' being in Fang Rui's hands before, the moment he saw the latter, his doubts disappeared.
As we all know, the level of the cursed object when it recognizes its owner determines the lower limit of the curser's strength level.
That is to say, if an ordinary person with extremely poor talent becomes the host of an F-level cursed object, no matter how hard he tries, he may not be able to reach the E-level in this life. But if he becomes the host of an E-level cursed object, then even if he becomes the host of an E-level cursed object,
No matter how hard you try, you can easily grow from F level to E level by relying on cursed objects in this life.
The Hongye Gang leader in front of us is so young, yet possesses D-level strength. It is definitely impossible to explain it according to common sense.
Unless this person possesses a high-level cursed object like the 'Blood Red Bride'.
"Sir Wang..."
Fang Rui ignored Xu Bufan's crazy gaze, looked at Wang Chen and asked:
"Is it legal for your friend to rashly use the power of curse to attack the residents of the inner city within the scope of the inner city?"
"Ha... you made the wrong calculation. The methods in the 24th District are not very effective for me."
Xu Bufan responded before Wang Chen could, and walked towards Fang Rui with a cruel smile on his lips.
"Hmm? The Sheriff of the 24th District, just watching the residents of the 24th District being bullied?"
Fang Rui calmly took out a real estate certificate with a unique style in District 24. He first asked Wang Chen, then looked around and shouted:
"We spent so much money to buy a house in the 24th District in order to become residents of the 24th District and receive the official protection of the 24th District! Now it seems that the money was wasted."
"What's going on with this guy? Is he so lawless?"
"Looking at the clothes, that girl is a police officer, right? Why is she not doing anything?"
"Quickly sound the alarm and ask other security teams to come over! No matter how rampant the cursers are, there is no reason for them to rampage in the inner city!"
"That's right! Our ancestors have spent so much money to buy a house and live in it, isn't it just to keep themselves safe?"
"The twenty-fourth district won't really take money and do nothing, right?"
…
The surrounding residents who heard the commotion and came to join in the fun couldn't help but express their own criticism after hearing Fang Rui's booing.
They didn't know Fang Rui, and they didn't know the cause and effect of the incident. They just learned from Fang Rui's words that Fang Rui now represented their interests.
"Haha, a bunch of untouchables, do they really think that their status as residents of the 24th District is very noble?!"
Listening to the criticisms surrounding him, Xu Bufan curled his lips in disdain, and then, in full view of everyone, he used the power of the curse and arbitrarily reached out to grab Fang Rui.
"Xu Bufan! Just stop it!" Wang Chen protected Fang Rui.
Xu Bufan can not care about everything in the 24th District, but she can't.
She is now the Sheriff of the 24th District. She has the responsibility to protect the residents and the official image of the 24th District!
"You want to protect him?!"
"This is my job. If I mess up, I won't be able to graduate."
"It's also your job to protect the Hongye Gang leader?!"
"No, but the purpose is to protect the residents of District 24, and to prevent the cursers from using the power of the curse indiscriminately in the inner city."
"You have to go against me?"
"It's you who insists on making things difficult for me."
"Okay!" Xu Bufan nodded tightly with his masseter muscles. After a moment of silence, he changed his mind and said:
"Then what if I say that I arrested this kid because I suspected that he had the cursed object 'Blood Red Bride' on his body that the Southeast General Bureau was offering a reward for?"
"you……"
"Don't worry!" Xu Bufan, who thought he knew what Wang Chen wanted to say, interrupted in advance:
"Now that he has arrived in the city, there is no need to worry about him escaping. It won't be a big deal if he knows in advance."
"emmm..." Knowing that Xu Bufan was determined to capture Fang Rui, Wang Chen had no choice but to cooperate:
"If you have evidence, I have no right to stop you."
"The evidence is simple. It's on the back of this kid's hand. As long as he takes off his robe, the truth..."
"Sir Wang!" Fang Rui suddenly interrupted Xu Bufan and said, "I suspect that the bounty from the Southeast Bureau you mentioned is on this brother Xu, and I have sufficient evidence to prove that as long as this brother takes off his pants,
, the truth will be revealed.”
"Pfft..." As soon as Fang Rui finished speaking, many girls in the crowd who had a low sense of humor burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Several good-hearted fujoshi even laughed and cheered:
"What the little gang leader said is reasonable and well-founded. Brother Xu, take off your pants!"
"What's the matter with you? Isn't Brother Xu right? Doesn't the little gang leader need to take off his clothes?"
"I agree! Since both sides say they have evidence! Let's take it off together!"
"Yes, yes! Although I don't know where the evidence is, just take it off!"
…
Led by these little girls, the surrounding crowd also joined in the fun and shouted the slogan "Take it off" in unison.
"boom!"
"Everyone be quiet!"
Seeing that the crowd around him was somewhat uncontrollable, Wang Chen did not choose to use the power of the curse to intimidate, but directly took out his gun and fired a shot into the sky.
Because she knows very well that for inner-city residents who usually live a relatively comfortable and stable life, the deterrent effect of firearms will be more direct and effective.
And for a moment, there was silence, and the crowd even expanded in a circle, which confirmed that her idea was right.
"Sorry everyone! This is a law enforcement scene, not a place for spectators. If you continue to interfere, I have the right to arrest and even shoot you, so..."
"Brother Xu, since everyone has said so, in order to prove our innocence, do we have to take off together?"
Guns can control the crowd, but they cannot control Fang Rui. He first disgusted Xu Bufan, and then under the latter's angry gaze, he added fuel to the fire:
"What's wrong? Don't you agree with this inspection plan proposed by yourself?"
"You are all looking for death!" Xu Bufan was completely angered. He suddenly burst into a roar, and then the curse power belonging to the C-level curser ran wildly. A strange blood-red puppet appeared on his chest and began to flash red.
The light shines brighter and brighter.
Fang Rui's continuous stimulation, as well as the unreasonable and bold demands of the untouchables around him, made him feel that he had been humiliated!
He wants the ignorant low-level people to pay the price - to become fodder for his 'blood puppets'!
"Curse - blood..."
"Master Xu, don't get excited!"
Just when Xu Bufan was about to launch a full blow to bleed all the living people around him except Wang Chen, a deep voice suddenly sounded, and then he felt that the operation of his curse power was stagnant for no reason.
"who?"
Xu Bufan looked at the place where the sound came from with a solemn expression.
It can directly limit the operation of his curse power, which means that the strength of the speaker should be far stronger than him.
"City Lord Zhao?!"
After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, Xu Bufan was stunned.
Appearing in his thirties, short in stature, with a big belly, and the iconic Nituofo smile on his face, he was not the 24th District City Lord Zhao Wuyan whom he had just met today...
But why would the other party, even though they knew his identity, follow a group of untouchables and prevent him from spouting such evil?!
Are the lives and deaths of a group of untouchables more important than the emotional stability of the small city lord in District 11?
"Calm down your anger, it's all my fault! In my land, Master Xu is so angry. I, the city lord, really did not treat you well, and I cannot absolve myself of the blame!"
As soon as Zhao Wuyan came over, he kindly held Xu Bufan's shoulder and reflected on himself, then changed the topic and lowered his voice and said:
"But Mr. Xu, as the old saying goes, the state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. Although my twenty-fourth district is not as good as your eleventh district, it still has its own legal system. If you really do it in public, you will
So many residents of our city have been killed, and it is difficult for me to explain to those below."
"Explain to those people below? Then why are you not going to give me an explanation?!" Xu Bufan subconsciously prepared to raise his shoulders and throw away Zhao Wuyan's hand, shouting his question loudly, but the words came to his lips.
I found that I couldn't speak loudly at all, so I could only speak in a very low voice like Zhao Wuyan.
As for lifting his shoulders, he couldn't do it at all, as if Zhao Wuyan was holding his hand and firmly controlling his body.
"Don't worry!" Zhao Wuyan's Buddha-like smile is still bright, and his posture of hugging Xu Bufan is still cordial:
"Of course I will give you the explanation you want, but not here. Master Xu is young and energetic, and it is easy to get angry. I will help you control your emotions first. Don't blame me..."
"I didn't expect that Gang Leader Fang is also a resident of my 24th district. It seems that my small town is developing well..." After controlling Xu Bufan, Zhao Wuyan turned his attention to Fang Rui.
"I've met City Lord Zhao." Fang Rui bowed to Zhao Wuyan.
"Hey! You're welcome, Leader Fang. I love my people like my own son. Since you are also a resident of my 24th District, just call me Uncle Zhao."
"Okay Uncle Zhao."
"What's going on with you two?"
"It seems that Master Xu has some misunderstandings about me."
"Hey, what did I think was going on?" Zhao Wuyan waved his fat hand and said in a tone of someone who has come before:
"It is normal for young people to have misunderstandings. As long as they are explained clearly, nothing will happen."
"That's true, but in this case..." Fang Rui looked around.
"That's right, the matter between the cursers is indeed not something that can be settled in public!" Zhao Wuyan understood instantly and came up with an idea:
"Let's do this. I'll host a peacemaking banquet for you two at the City Lord's Mansion at ten o'clock tonight. You just need to calm down now. Then you can calmly clarify the misunderstanding and the matter will be over."
"Uncle Zhao's territory is naturally up to Uncle Zhao's arrangements." Fang Rui nodded without objection.
Xu Bufan didn't answer, but under Zhao Wuyan's control, he nodded.
"Okay, okay, it's not fun anymore, you all should leave!"
After "resolving" the conflict between the two young people, Zhao Wuyan pretended to be angry and said with a smile:
"Why are you all gathering here during this rare relaxing time at night? It's because my taxes are low, so I let you relax too much, right?!"
"Run! The city lord is angry!"
"If you run slowly, you will be charged a tax increase!"
"City Lord, I am from Jiangnan Leather Factory, please remember to increase my tax!"
"Hey, you bastard, you betrayed your aunt, right?"
…
As soon as Zhao Wuyan finished speaking, the crowd of spectators, who were originally so crowded that even the firing of a gun only slightly enlarged them, dispersed in an orderly manner amidst laughter and laughter.
Chapter completed!
