Zhang San, please behave yourself!

Chapter 801: Chapter 737: Offering the Heart to Chief Zhang!

"Chief Zhang! We are guilty—"

Zhang San had already sensed that something was off with these three officers, but he never expected that before he even made a move or dealt with them, they would inexplicably kneel and confess their wrongdoing.

Is charm now a measure of justice?

Soon, through the confessions of the three officers, Zhang San and the dozens of martial artists at the Town Demon Office finally understood what had really happened.

It turned out that all three officers had families living on Longyou Road.

Recently, Qian Shanxiu gradually realized that the atmosphere within the Town Demon Office was shifting from initially following their lead to supporting all orders from Deputy Chief Zhang San.

This left Qian Shanxiu feeling quite incredulous and somewhat precarious.

After all, Qian Shanxiu knew that they had to rely on the demon clan attacking the Great Sui to fully sever Longyou Road from the Great Sui’s control.

Once the demon clan broke through Julong Pass, Longyou Road would effectively be out of the Great Sui’s grip.

By that time, even if the forces of the Town Demon Office on Longyou Road didn’t want to follow their orders, they wouldn’t have a choice.

Moreover, with the relationship with the demon clan, it would be possible to sway many stationed troops on Longyou Road to join their cause.

But now, the first step of their plan wasn’t even completed, and their foundation was about to be emptied by others?

This couldn’t happen!

Thus, Qian Shanxiu ordered their confidant to handle this matter.

Sai Baihua accepted the task and then captured the families of the three officers who were originally from Longyou Road.

They were threatened to devise a plan to lure Zhang San into those ruins.

On the surface, it was to let Zhang San establish merit, but in reality, it was all an ambush targeting him.

After all, compared to winning back the martial artists swayed by Zhang San, simply getting rid of Zhang San was certainly more straightforward.

However, Zhang San treated the martial artists like people, in stark contrast to the previous leadership of the Town Demon Office who disregarded them as nothing.

As a result, the plan ended before it even started.

After listening to the officers’ confessions, Zhang San waved his hand and said, "The intelligence you three provided was problematic, something I had realized long ago. I just hadn’t figured out how to deal with you yet. But I didn’t expect you would confess voluntarily. Consider this your surrender, and I won’t punish you."

"However..."

"Sai Baihua is a Purple Mansion Realm powerhouse. How many strong figures did she deploy this time? What other methods are involved?"

The three officers immediately divulged all the information they knew to Zhang San.

It turned out Sai Baihua, along with Xie Longtao and three other Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses, as well as several Spiritual Platform Realm experts and numerous unidentified great demons were lying in ambush in those ruins.

Knowing the enemy’s situation, Zhang San asked, "If we don’t go, your families are in danger. So, I have to go. But after I go, how will they release your families? Surely not after I die, they’ll release them?"

"Replying to Chief Zhang, as soon as you arrive at the designated place, a hundred miles from the ruins, they will release our families."

Zhang San nodded slightly and said, "That’s okay. Here’s the plan: you take me there, and I’ll think of a way to deal with them. Also, how many strong forces can we gather from the Town Demon Office? They must at least be outstanding in the Spiritual Platform Realm. Additionally..."

Zhang San glanced at the three officers and whispered, "I also worry about any mishap concerning your families. You should evaluate how much combat power is needed to rescue your families successfully."

At this point, Yao Jianfei, one of the officers, couldn’t help but ask, "Chief Zhang, I am indeed not a gentleman, so I’m curious. After this battle, if we all emerge unscathed, will you hold us accountable in the future?"

Actually, Sai Baihua approached them, arguing that Zhang San’s current promise not to deal with them was just a delaying tactic. Once Qian Shanxiu was dealt with, he would undoubtedly hold them accountable later.

Their families were taken to prevent betrayal by any of the three officers.

Zhang San smiled and replied, "That’s simple! You can now tell them where you want to go. But don’t tell me, inform the other three officers at the backdoor base, and you can choose who will arrange for your families. Then have them escort you and your families away from Longyou Road to another place."

The question Yao Jianfei posed was clearly pointless, but he never expected Zhang San to respond like that.

He even worried the three were uneasy, so he allowed them to designate their preferred person to escort them and their families away from Longyou Road.

"Chief Zhang, since you trust us so much, then please trust us once more. We will go rally the strong fighters needed for this battle!"

"Great! I’ll leave this matter to you three."

With that, Zhang San saw the three officers and the other martial artists from the Town Demon Office out.

At the same time, Zhang San formed a Transmission Talisman of the Triple Combat Talisman in his palm and crushed it forcefully.

Soon, Wang Bo, the Third Senior Brother, who had been studying rune formations at the Julong Pass barracks, received Zhang San’s communication.

"Facing off against Qian Shanxiu’s subordinates requires my covert protection?"

Third Senior Brother Wang Bo always knew Zhang San left him there not just for the simplicity of studying runes.

He also had the task of being a trump card at crucial moments.

And sure enough, now was the time to play the trump card.

Meanwhile, Zhang San was seeing off the fifty or sixty martial artists of the Town Demon Office to the back door of Going Through the Back Door.

"Everyone, although you should be sent through the front door, many here miss home. If we send you through the front door, it might make others homesick once they see it. Also, this place is called ’Going Through the Back Door,’ so we’re using the back door this time."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Just then, some letters were delivered by express horses.

Suddenly, a martial artist saw their letter, opened it, and immediately burst into tears.

Then, the martial artist parted from the crowd and rushed to Zhang San, dropping to their knees with a thud.

"Thank you, Chief Zhang! My mother just sent a message, saying that when you sent someone to visit my family, they also found treatment for her illness. Her health has greatly improved. So she asked me not to hurry back and serve Deputy Chief Zhang San well! I am willing to offer my heart to Deputy Chief Zhang San!"

Meanwhile, many other martial artists also received letters from home, knowing that Zhang San had arranged everything for their families.

In the next moment, a countless number of martial artists present knelt on one knee before Zhang San.

"Willing to offer our hearts to Deputy Chief Zhang San!"
