It’s just after five in the afternoon, and Ye Chen is sitting on the couch in the living room.
Soon, a knock sounds on the door.
Ye Chen says "Co in," and the door opens. Rakshasa, Heaven-Devouring Tiger, and Lei Yun walk in, followed by five others.
The five see Ye Chen and smile foolishly.
Ye Chen looks up and says, "Take a seat."
Only then do they sit down in front of Ye Chen.
Rakshasa takes out a stack of docunts and places them in front of Ye Chen. "Brother Chen, take a look. These are all the things those people have done, along with the accusations from those below."
The docunts are a stack of five centiters thick, all on A4 paper.
Ye Chen picks up the docunts and starts to read them.
The more he reads, the more his brow furrows. The pages are filled with the cris of Zhang Yun, Wu Shangyin, and others—truly shocking.
Suddenly, Ye Chen notices one cri.
The Cyan Alliance handed over eighty girls, processed by Wu Shangyin for distribution.
There’s also a note below (Final count seventeen left, sixty-three dead, seventeen sent to the reserve army.)
Seeing this, Ye Chen clenched his fists.
As expected of the Cyan Alliance, only they could do such a thing.
The more Ye Chen reads, the tighter he grips his fists. Any one of these cris is enough for a death sentence.
For folks like this, there’s no release from hatred unless they’re killed in the most brutal way!
Bang!
Ye Chen throws the docunts angrily onto the table, with such force that a crack forms on the table.
Ye Chen takes a deep breath to maintain his composure.
Green Demon and the others are shivering with fear, barely able to breathe.
Watching Ye Chen’s twitching mouth and tense muscles sends a chilling terror through them.
They are all participants in the cris listed.
Seeing Ye Chen looking as if he wants to kill, none of them dare to move.
After a long silence, Rakshasa speaks softly, "Brother Chen, what should we do? We’ll take care of it right away."
A mont later, Ye Chen says, "Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for you to take this information to the Law Enforcent Alliance Headquarters and give it to Wang Zhan. And also have Zhang Tao and the others co over."
Rakshasa nods in acknowledgnt.
Ye Chen looks at the ti and says, "It’s still early now. You should go and make sure they arrive by ten tomorrow."
"Alright!"
"We’ll go now!"
After Rakshasa and the others finish speaking, they turn away and leave.
Green Demon and the others intend to follow when Ye Chen suddenly calls out, "Minister Green Demon, you stay here for a mont."
They freeze on the spot, their hearts pounding.
Rakshasa turns to give Ye Chen a look, only to see his grim face.
Rakshasa opens his mouth but says nothing, turning to leave while silently praying for Green Demon’s group.
Ye Chen, expressionless, speaks in an indifferent tone, "Please take a seat."
"We’ll just stand; standing is fine!" Green Demon responds repeatedly, unsure where to place his hands, feeling very constrained.
Cold sweat unknowingly breaks out on the foreheads of the five.
The power of Ye Chen’s presence is so overwhelming that they dare not take a deep breath, dreading his fury.
Ye Chen remains silent, sitting there with an impassive face, giving nothing away.
The room is deathly silent.
After a mont, the five slowly and cautiously take their seats.
Creak.
The door suddenly sounds.
Zhu Qiang pokes his head out, and upon seeing the scene outside, he imdiately turns back inside.
Green Demon awkwardly says, "Lord Ye Chen, is there anything you need from us?"
The group sits there, filled with anxiety, as if awaiting a death sentence.
Ye Chen slowly opens his mouth, "You need not worry yourselves. While what you have done makes exceedingly angry, making want to kill you all right now, I’ve promised Rakshasa and others to spare your wretched lives."
Hearing the first part, their hearts climb into their throats, but the latter part allows them to relax a bit.
However, under Ye Chen’s cold gaze, they remain uneasy.
The force of Ye Chen’s presence is suffocating.
Suddenly, the most cowardly one, Spider, drops to his knees, "Lord Ye Chen, we’re willing to accept punishnt. We know we were wrong. Please, give us another chance!"
As Spider kneels, the other four promptly follow suit.
"Alright, a death sentence can be avoided, but you can’t escape punishnt. I’ll give you one more chance: gather the Law Enforcent Alliance mbers who were coerced and the won who were victimized. Organize them at the stadium entrance by tomorrow morning, ready for my instructions!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Ye Chen, rest assured we will do it right!"
The five of them agree eagerly.
"Begone!"
"Thank you, Lord Ye Chen, thank you!"
With that, the five rush out without a backward glance!
Zhu Qiang slowly erges, looking puzzled, "What happened, Brother Chen? What made you so angry?"
"It’s nothing. By the way, tomorrow at nine in the morning, gather at the stadium. I have sothing to do."
"Alright!"
Knock, knock!
The door sounds once more.
Tang Qiu enters and cos to Ye Chen’s side, taking a seat.
A bit awkwardly, she says, "Ye Chen, my master told everything. I didn’t know the Law Enforcent Alliance had such issues. If I had known, I would’ve told you long ago."
As she goes on, Tang Qiu’s voice becos softer.
Ye Chen laughs, "No worries, nothing to do with you. By the way, do you know the Law Enforcent Alliance mbers well? Any captains or leaders who are upright, with a spirit of patriotism and unity?"
Tang Qiu thinks for a mont and says, "There is soone in our Dark Departnt nad Zhao Yongchuan, who is upright and hates evil, rich in team spirit. I also know a few others, who are decent folks."
Ye Chen nods and says, "Alright, I’ll trouble you to investigate and bring over those you think are suitable, so I can have a look."
"Okay."
Tang Qiu looks at Ye Chen, a bit puzzled, "What’s going on? Why are you doing this?"
Even though Tang Qiu knows about those things, she still doesn’t understand Ye Chen’s purpose.
"The Law Enforcent Alliance high-ups have beco rotten, essentially a massive cesspool. If change is to happen, it requires a complete overhaul. I thought Zhang Tao did a thorough job last ti, but it was lacking, so I’ve decided to handle it myself."
Tang Qiu responds with a nod, understanding in her heart, "Alright, I’ll get to it now."
After Tang Qiu leaves, Ye Chen sits on the couch, pondering.
He thinks there’s still sothing missing in his approach.
The Law Enforcent Alliance Ministers and above will be removed, but if those replacing them are from the Alliance, the sa issues could reoccur; it’s necessary to introduce mbers from two factions to balance this.
While people from the Star Alliance are usable, there are so concerns.
Ye Chen suddenly thinks of soone and picks up the phone.
