Chapter 38 Refuse to cooperate
Xie Lingxin asked, "The Chen family?"

Shen Wen glanced at him: "It seems you know what you're doing."

"Don't worry, even though you're a relative, you're still one of the bureau's people before you pack up and leave."

"Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. If you dare to mess with the Environmental Protection Bureau, someone will naturally come after you."

"..."

I thank you!
However, although he talks a big game, it probably won't be easy for him to beat Shen Wen, that stinky jerk.

He was a second-degree black belt martial artist, which Xie Lingxin initially thought was nothing special.

But looking at the difference between him and that iron loach just now, it was like heaven and earth.

No wonder Teacher Bai said, "Life and death are subject to twelve trials, each one a different level."

It seems he wasn't just saying it casually.

Chen's family...

A thought flashed through Xie Lingxin's mind.

Is this related to that mother and child?
Logically speaking, is it really necessary to go to such lengths just for land acquisition?

Ma Fei had just mentioned that this Iron Loach had already found out that he worked for the Environmental Protection Bureau.

Even if it's just a temporary worker, they shouldn't have resorted to force without even talking to me first.

The gang members approached both him and Lao Xie at the same time.

It sounds a bit deliberate and hasty.

In any case, if it really is them, this debt will eventually be settled.

We were all getting along fine, and I didn't want to talk to you, but you came to cause me trouble.

Xie Lingxin was not one to swallow her anger; she would avenge any wrongs she could and never let them linger overnight. Although the other party was backed by the Thunder Group and was not so easy to deal with, she was certainly not someone she could handle in her current state.

But the Environmental Protection Bureau can.

The opportunity came sooner than he had imagined.

Upon arriving at the Environmental Protection Bureau, Su Li, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, immediately went to the Ancient Site Management Office.

He looked her up and down before she breathed a sigh of relief.

Take him to a secluded place.

"As long as you're okay."

"Brother Su, you found out too?"

Su Li nodded, then her face showed a hint of anger: "The Chen family's reach is getting longer and longer!"

"Don't worry, no one can bully the people in our Environmental Protection Bureau. The bureau will settle this score with them."

Xie Lingxin was delighted and leaned closer: "How do we calculate it?"

Su Li said, "Don't worry about this. The director and Captain Jin have already made arrangements."

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the Chen family's influence in Leizhou is deeply entrenched, and it won't be easy for our bureau to deal with them."

"This time, it just so happened that the expert that Team Jin found deciphered a page of an ancient scripture, which helped us find the collapsed domain of Tonggu Bay,"

He paused for a moment: "Old Jiang has already told you about the Domain Realm, hasn't he?"

Xie Lingxin's eyes darted around: "I already said that."

It seems that Zurich didn't know that he was the one who deciphered the ancient scriptures.

Su Li nodded: "It's precisely because we have the domain coordinates that our bureau is able to control the Chen family. Just you wait and see, given Team Jin's personality, they won't stop until they've skinned them alive."

"Don't have any thoughts about this. It was Captain Jin's idea to clear you up; she doesn't want you to get too involved with the Chen family."

"Your current task is to become a full-fledged employee as soon as possible. Once you are, even the Chen family won't dare to touch you easily."

Xie Lingxin nodded: "It's okay, I understand."

I deciphered the ancient scriptures myself. If it causes trouble for that Chen guy, wouldn't that be the same as me doing it myself?
Let's consider this as collecting some interest first.

When he's able to do so, he'll have to collect this debt himself.

Xie Lingxin wasn't one to hold a grudge, but she wasn't going to let it go so easily.

"Snapped!"

A slap landed, leaving a clear handprint on Chen Lingguan's face.

Before him stood a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin face, a slightly refined appearance, and upturned eyes that gave him a sharp look.

"Yun Tao! What are you doing?"

Qu Yuzhen stood in front of him, her face pale with shock.

Chen Yuntao slapped Chen Lingguan, sat down expressionlessly, and slowly said, "Ask him what he did?"

Chen Lingguan was still in a daze: "Dad, I didn't do anything..."

His face was in pain, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction with Chen Yuntao.

I was filled with fear, not knowing what I had done to offend the other party.

"You managed to mess up such a trivial matter as the land acquisition in Leigong Village?"

"Because of you, you little beast, the Environmental Protection Bureau has now refused to cooperate with our group!"

"The original quota for the Domain Realm has already excluded members of the Chen Clan, so not a single member of the Chen Clan will be selected!"

"You haven't done anything yet? You've done so much and are so capable!"

"what?!"

Chen Lingguan and his mother were both startled.

Qu Yuzhen came to her senses and asked cautiously, "Yuntao, how could this happen?"

Chen Yuntao angrily said, "How could that be? Today, Dai Yang publicly berated me in front of all the major families in Leizhou and kicked me out!"

"My Chen family has lost all face today, all thanks to this good-for-nothing!"

"What? This Environmental Protection Bureau is far too arrogant!"

Qu Yuzhen cursed, then smiled ingratiatingly, "What does this have to do with Lingguan? This child has always been honest and well-behaved, don't you know that?"

Chen Yuntao sneered: "None of his business?"

"That old fox Dai Yang said that my Thunder Group is like a rat carrying a big knife, looking for a cat all over the street! It's a petty person who has gotten ahead and is running rampant!"

"Violating federal law, colluding with gangs, and engaging in organized crime-related forced land acquisition and demolition!"

"I've already checked, the Environmental Protection Bureau has a temporary worker who lives in Leigong Village!"

Chen Yuntao pointed at Chen Lingguan: "To deal with a mere temporary worker, this good-for-nothing actually needs to resort to force."

"That's fine, but since you've already started, you should have done it cleanly and efficiently. Now you've not only failed to accomplish anything, but you've also brought trouble to the Chen family!"

"That old fox Dai Yang is just using this as an excuse. He never wanted the Chen family involved in the first place! You've just handed him a good knife!"

Qu Yuzhen and Chen Lingguan's expressions changed, their eyes flashing with disbelief.

Chen Lingguan was even more alarmed.

Qu Yuzhen gave him a look and leaned close to Chen Yuntao: "Yuntao, did the Environmental Protection Bureau really find the domain coordinates?"

Chen Yuntao scoffed, "How could this be fake?"

He was furious: "Originally, the Chen family didn't need to ask him for help, but I didn't expect that old fox to be so lucky. I don't know where he found a master of classical studies, but he actually deciphered that ancient scripture fragment and found it before the Chen family."

Qu Yuzhen's expression shifted: "Yuntao, can we go directly to that master of classical studies?"

Chen Yuntao said, "You think I didn't look for it? The scripture master who found the domain coordinates is from the Central Star. I got in touch with him through connections."

"However, that master said he was just picking up scraps from others; although he found the coordinates, he wasn't the one who deciphered the ancient scriptures,"

"He said that the ancient scripture had been deciphered very completely, and any scripture master could find the coordinates. He was unwilling to take advantage of this and refused to cooperate with my Chen family."

"That one who deciphered the ancient scriptures..."

Qu Yuzhen had just opened her mouth when Chen Yuntao interrupted her: "Alright, can you think of something I can't? The Environmental Protection Bureau is keeping it well hidden. Nobody knows who this master of classical studies is, let alone where to look for him."

"I have my own plans for this, you don't need to worry about it."

He still cares about his second wife, Qu Yuzhen; otherwise, based on this incident alone, this kid wouldn't have had an easy time!
