Hearing Ye Mingshang's words, Director Lu nodded, "If possible, let's do it as soon as possible. Leaving that kind of monster around for even a day could put more people in danger."
"There's no time to waste; I'll go back with you now," Ye Mingshang said.
Director Lu was surprised for a moment. "Is everything okay here?"
He was, of course, referring to the safety of the students. Ye Mingshang nodded and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Since Ye Mingshang assured him there would be no problems, Director Lu didn't say much more and nodded, "Then prepare yourself; we'll leave shortly."
"Okay, I'll go give some instructions."
Ye Mingshang walked over to the chubby guy and Joan and said, "I have some matters to attend to, so I'm heading back. You all are responsible for safety here; don't let me down."
"Don't worry, Master, we got this," Joan nodded in response.
"We'll take care of things here; you can go without any worries," the chubby guy said seriously.
Damn! Ye Mingshang almost wanted to punch him. What do you mean by 'go without worries'? Could you phrase that any worse?
After saying goodbye to the two, Ye Mingshang got into the police car and left with them. Fortunately, there weren't many people coming along, and with just three of them including Director Lu, it wasn't too cramped.
The police car sped along and reached the city in just over 30 minutes. After detaining the Zombie and Corpse Breeder and completing some basic paperwork, Director Lu then invited Ye Mingshang to his office.
Director Lu looked like he had been through a lot these past few days. A thick stack of documents was piled up on the table, and the Ashtray was filled with cigarette butts. Although there were regulations against smoking during work hours, rules often bend for personal circumstances, and here, as the highest authority, he could smoke if he wanted to.
Director Lu poured a glass of water for Ye Mingshang and said, "The higher-ups have ordered me to solve the case within a week, and I can't mobilize too many officers or create too much commotion to avoid causing panic."
Ye Mingshang frowned. "Don't they know the details of the situation?"
Director Lu let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. "How could they? I submitted the information at the first opportunity; they are well aware of it."
"Then why do they think you can handle this?"
"Who says they believe I can solve it? They just need a scapegoat." Director Lu shook his head with a bitter smile.
"A scapegoat?"
"Yes." Director Lu nodded and continued, "Although those who died were gang members, too many people have died for this to be kept under wraps. You don't know how many rumors are flying around now, saying that terrorists and murderers have come to the city. The pressure from above is just to make me take the blame for this." Director Lu took a melancholic drag from his cigarette.
Ye Mingshang furrowed his brow even tighter. This was no small matter; if Director Lu had to bear it alone, he would likely face dismissal at the very least. In severe cases, he could even end up in Prison. It was hard to understand why they wouldn't find a way to resolve such a serious issue and instead resorted to these futile actions.
Perhaps sensing Ye Mingshang's thoughts or simply venting his frustrations, Director Lu sighed and said, "This is how politics work; this is our national situation. The competition among factions is fierce. Mr. Dong is getting old and doesn't have much time left; those below him have long been restless. I'm just a minor piece in this game."
Ye Mingshang pondered for a moment before saying, "So as long as we solve the case within seven days, that's all that matters?"
Director Lu paused for a moment, ash from his cigarette falling off. "That's correct, but can we really do it in a week? We don't even know who we are dealing with."
Ye Mingshang smirked, "You don't need to worry about that. I have my own methods. Just give me a copy of the information, and wait for good news."
"Sure, you can take this copy from my desk. I've already gone through it," Director Lu said as he handed over a stack of documents.
Ye Mingshang took the documents and said, "I can resolve this within three days, so don't worry."
With that, Ye Mingshang left with the stack of documents, leaving Director Lu in a daze. After a moment, Director Lu snapped back to reality, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Thank you."
Since it was late and the school had already closed, Ye Mingshang found a nearby hotel to stay in. Just as he sat down and prepared to review the documents in his hand, there was a sudden "knock knock" at the door.
"Who is it?"
"Knock knock!"
No one answered; only the knocking continued. Ye Mingshang frowned and walked over to open the door. With a creak, the door swung open to reveal a provocatively dressed woman.
"Hey handsome, want to have some fun?" The woman winked at Ye Mingshang and struck what she thought was a seductive pose.
Ye Mingshang looked her up and down, smirking as he said, "You're just in time." He then pulled her into the room and slammed the door shut with a bang.
The woman was thrown onto the bed and let out a playful squeal, "Hey! Why are you in such a hurry? We have plenty of time~"
Ye Mingshang's expression remained calm. "Put that away. I'm here for something serious."
"Cut it out, big brother. What are you pretending for? Of course, there are serious matters to attend to. We really have a lot to do next," the woman laughed, standing up and leaning towards Ye Mingshang, intending to reach out and touch his face.
Ye Mingshang grabbed the woman's wrist tightly, causing her to yelp in pain as she slapped his arm. "Hey! You deadbeat, you're hurting me!"
Ye Mingshang scoffed disdainfully and tightened his grip around the woman's neck, applying enough pressure that she struggled to breathe.
"What are you doing?! Let go! Do you like SM or something? Don't be so dramatic; we can play something else," the woman said with difficulty.
Ye Mingshang sneered, "Still planning to keep up the act?"
As he spoke, he gradually increased the pressure in his hand. The woman's expression grew more pained, and her attempts to push him away weakened, as if she might pass out at any moment. Yet throughout it all, Ye Mingshang's expression remained unchanged.
He continued to tighten his grip, using enough strength to lift the woman off the ground. Although she wasn't heavy, her tall and curvy figure meant that lifting her required considerable strength.
The woman clutched at Ye Mingshang's arm with both hands, her legs flailing helplessly beneath her. The veins on her forehead bulged, and her eyes began to roll back, looking as if she might collapse at any moment.
"Wow, you can endure quite a bit," Ye Mingshang remarked coldly. With a final surge of force accompanied by cracking sounds, it seemed like he was about to snap her neck when suddenly—
"Wahh!"
A piercing scream echoed as if it were right next to him. The woman's hands suddenly became furry and sprouted sharp claws. (To be continued.)
