Who Dares to Provoke?

“Catch me!

Come on!”

Wu Jie stared coldly at Zheng.

“What are you staring at?

I’ve already broken the law, why are you still hesitating?”

“Playing indecent videos in a public setting, even if it’s not for profit, should still result in detention!”

“So…

what are you waiting for?”

Zheng was taken aback.

His lips twitched slightly, and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

“What do you mean?

Are you blaming me for not supposed to come and disturb you?”

Wu Jie asked sarcastically.

“Isn’t it you who said I made them very embarrassed?

Isn’t it you who said I was doing nonsense, risking people’s lives?”

“I really don’t get it, a few lousy videos, how could they kill anyone?”

“Just because they are influential scum, whom everyone has to nod and bow to, and just because I broadcast their videos, they dare to plot to kill me?”

Wu Jie’s gaze swept past Zheng, his cold eyes scanning the people in the hall.

“I didn’t capture Kong Hailin, but just because I caught Shen Liang, which led to the exposure of his entire family and numerous accomplices, I was the target of an assassination, they truly hate me to the bone!”

“Since all of you are so powerful and can act so unscrupulously, then fine!

I will gather you together, and let you watch the videos!”

“If you think you are not deserving of punishment, have committed no offenses, and even get mad and want to kill or retaliate against me, then I am ready to face whatever comes.”

“As for why I am doing this, it’s because someone gave me the videos.

If scandals about you burst out one day, most likely the suspicions will fall on me, come looking for me for retribution, so why shouldn’t I expose it all face to face beforehand?”

His tone shifted, Wu Jie glanced coldly at Zheng.

“As for you, Zheng…”

“What do you mean by this?

Are you here to reprimand me on their behalf?

Blaming me for not following protocol, for not reporting to you?

Does that make you embarrassed now?”

“Or blaming me for not understanding decorum, before these influential people are formally suspended, they still remain high up, and deserve to be looked up to with bowed head, right?”

“If it’s not my responsibility, can’t I ask about it, can’t I care?

No wonder people often say it’s difficult to get things done, difficult to enter doors, hard to face, and getting the runaround when dealing with minor issues, running around until their legs break!”

“Perhaps it’s because some people act like you, not concerning themselves with matters that aren’t directly theirs, and my actions, obviously breaking the norms, upset you, right?”

Zheng was instantly embarrassed.

He originally didn’t come to Liuli City for this issue, but to attend an important meeting.

Hearing that Wu Jie had summoned many big shots after a meal, he sensed trouble and rushed over.

What did he want to do?

He just wanted to persuade Wu Jie, not to overstep his authority.

More deeply, he wanted Wu Jie to stay away from these dirty dealings and not to mingle with these corrupt officials.

The Kong Family case in Liuli City had already proven that these criminals, once they go to extremes, would adopt extremely aggressive measures.

Zheng didn’t want Wu Jie to be assassinated again, tragically struck down in retaliation.

However…

Wu Jie clearly wasn’t appreciative!

His defiant nature would never bow down to various norms.

Most importantly, Wu Jie didn’t need to think too much.

He didn’t need to bow down to anyone, nor did he need to consider others’ feelings, nor worry about offending anyone.

For someone as straightforward as him, it was already good that he hadn’t taken out these corrupt officials on the spot.

But Zheng still found it hard to understand.

Why did Wu Jie do this?

Entertaining them with meals and drinks, then publicly displaying incriminating materials.

What exactly was the deeper meaning?

Was it sarcasm?

Contempt?

Venting?

What Wu Jie wanted to do, Zheng no longer bothered to think about.

The only thought in his mind was not to let the conflict escalate.

Otherwise, given Wu Jie’s character, he would definitely throw in the towel and walk away, regardless of what was at stake with the Security Bureau.

Moreover, this man was working for free, not earning a penny, serving the country and the people, nearly to the point of bowing out with exhaustion.

When choosing between two evils, choose the lesser one!

Which was more important?

Zheng obviously made his choice in an instant!

So…

“Jie, calm down, please don’t misunderstand!”

Zheng said with a grin, “How could I possibly be here to arrest you?

You are specially recruited by me, whatever you do represents me and the Security Bureau, I’m here to help you!”

Turning halfway, Zheng raised his hand pointing to the many fierce big shots below.

“Look at these people, who isn’t influential?

Who doesn’t wield immense power?”

“I truly fear that they will retaliate against you as in the Kong Family case of Liuli City, knowing they are guilty yet still seek to strike back!”

“So my intent is that we manage the situation well, protect the evidence, and the relevant departments will punish them according to the law!”

With a few words, Zheng ‘took sides’, resolved the awkwardness, and avoided a public fallout with Wu Jie.

Being able to control the huge Security Bureau, he certainly had this capability.

And Wu Jie wouldn’t ponder what Zheng really thought.

For him, the most important thing was to earn energy points, everything else was secondary.

“Alright then, since everyone will be sternly punished by law, all of you just wait!”

“Since all of you have already eaten your fill, you should have the energy to undergo investigation!”

“Be lenient if you confess, stringent if you resist.

I think you all understand the rules, so I won’t say more, goodnight everyone!”

Wu Jie smiled slightly, pulled out the USB, and tossed it to Zheng.

“Aren’t you here to control the situation, to protect the evidence?

Then take good care of it!”

“Of course, I definitely won’t pervert justice, won’t give you a spectacle to laugh at!”

Zheng smiled sheepishly.

He watched as Wu Jie left the platform, step by step heading towards the hall’s entrance.

The atmosphere was grim.

It felt like everyone there wanted to rush over, beat Wu Jie up, flay him and devour him alive.

But thinking about Wu Jie’s nearly unbeatable fighting skills, and considering the people from the Security Bureau, who could legally kill,

Who would dare to move?

Who would dare to provoke?

So, the people closest to the platform, despite their raging fury, still stepped aside voluntarily.

There are always exceptions.

Elder Chen, the first to have his video shown and publicly embarrassed, stood right in front of Wu Jie, completely immobile.

Not a trace of remorse or guilt typical of a confessing criminal.

Instead, he tilted his head slightly, hands behind his back, completely carrying the air of a big shot.

With a cold stare, he watched Wu Jie without giving way.

Wu Jie also didn’t flare up, quietly locking eyes with him.

What’s the rush?

Elder Chen sure carries an imposing presence.

Because so far, he hadn’t been removed from his position, he still held high office with significant power, hating Wu Jie so much that it was worth hundreds of thousands of energy points.

Moreover, Wu Jie, who had enraged the crowd, was blocked in the middle of the hall, with others gathering around him involuntarily.

At this moment.

All eyes in the room were focused on Wu Jie.

Only now did the public’s hatred truly surge incessantly, rolling in like tides.

The effect was excellent, even higher than when the video was shown earlier.

Because the fate of these people had already been sealed.

Once Wu Jie left, Zheng had armed men stationed there; who would dare to make a move?

These bosses were accustomed to having chauffeurs and secretaries and never carried wallets or phones with them.

Unable to escape, run away, or contact their secretaries or anyone else for help.

Waiting here was truly a dead end.

They knew all too well how many crimes they had committed and whether they deserved the death penalty or many years of fixed-term imprisonment.

But what infuriated them was Wu Jie, who publicly exposed their crimes.

Had they been caught by other departments, they wouldn’t have been so resentful.

And so, at this moment.

Wu Jie, surrounded on all sides, seemed on the verge of being lynched.

Many people’s eyes blazed with anger.

As if in the next second, they would pounce and beat him with fists and feet, biting him to death.

Zheng roared and immediately drew his weapon.

“What are you trying to do?

Damn it, looking to die?”

…

His loud shout was deafening.

Zheng did not want Wu Jie to come to any harm.

If these corrupt officials lynched him in front of him.

Where would he put his face?

Without Elder Tan’s order, he would resign in shame and might as well buy a block of tofu and smash his head dead.

So…

Seeing the situation turning sour, with Elder Chen blocking Wu Jie and others surrounding him with murderous intent.

At this critical moment, he had to yell loudly, brandish his gun to intimidate everyone.

In an instant.

Many who were furiously ready to attack were frightened, jolted to alertness.

Wu Jie was no ordinary man.

He had truly done a lot of good for the country and its people.

The Detox Pills he developed resolved the global epidemic crisis caused by the Sakuragi Hana virus and even recovered many precious cultural relics that had been lost abroad for years…

He also made significant contributions in new energy, electric cars, the Skynet System, and many other areas, so when Elder Tan called him a national treasure, it was not an exaggeration but a testament to his real skills and contributions.

If they really lost their minds in the heat of the moment and beat up Wu Jie.

Probably no need to wait for any ‘severe legal penalties,’ Zheng would start a massacre on the spot, wiping them all out.

In the vast Liuli Continent, there is nothing much except people.

These people, though occupying high positions with great power, are not irreplaceable.

Many are eager to replace them.

But Wu Jie was truly unique.

If Zheng had to massacre many to protect Wu Jie, he would surely not be held accountable; instead, he would be heavily rewarded.

Even if not killed on the spot, being detained would surely mean a further increase in their crimes and an even harsher punishment.

Probably a mere decade or so in jail would have turned into an immediate execution.

People value self-awareness.

Knowing it’s a dead end yet still forcing through, that’s not stupidity, it’s madness.

Thus.

Zheng’s roar and drawing of his gun had a superb effect.

Many who had crowded towards Wu Jie began to retreat.

But some only stopped in their tracks, and Elder Chen, who blocked Wu Jie’s way, didn’t budge at all.

He still stood coldly right in front of Wu Jie, their faces almost half a meter apart.

If it came to a fight, slapping, throwing punches, or kicking would all be very easy.

While many stepped back, he just didn’t move, as if he wanted to kill Wu Jie with his gaze.

“Elder Chen, what the hell do you want to do?”

“Can’t stand it, want to commit violence, huh?

Dare to touch a single hair on Wu Jie and see?”

“Believe it or not, I’ll shoot you right now!”

With a click!

Zheng chambered a round.

The atmosphere turned icy cold!

Killer intent burst forth!

Zheng on the podium, glaring furiously, roared.

He might pull the trigger at any moment!

Would he really shoot?

To protect Wu Jie’s safety, no one would question Zheng’s resolve and courage.

Everyone knew he would indeed shoot, daring to unleash carnage to protect Wu Jie.

However…

Elder Chen was utterly unmoved, showing no intention of retreating or dodging.

With a cold look, he asked Wu Jie in an icy tone,

“Who provided you with the dirt?

You’ve gathered us here to mock and ridicule us, intending to catch us all in one net, right?”

“Although everyone here knows of your great deeds and fame, regardless of how much we embezzled or bent the law, did we endanger public safety or threaten national security?”

“Don’t you know there’s an old saying, ‘a dog trying to catch mice, meddling in others’ business’?”

…
