Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Then a number of military vehicles stopped at the entrance of the branch office.

Before anyone could understand what was happening, they saw countless soldiers swarm in, guns in hand, surrounding the entire branch office.

Staring at the dark, gaping Hanyang rifle, Shen Hao and the others dared not move.

11. We must not let them lose heart.

Although the Chengnan branch has hundreds of officers, they are all armed with batons and short swords.

The enemy was armed with rifles, including Gatling guns.

Anyone who dares to make a move is courting death.

For a moment, the air became quiet.

Even the families of the deceased were stunned by the scene before them and forgot to cry.

A moment later, a young officer in his early twenties, holding a pistol, walked in with an arrogant expression.

"I heard your Chengnan branch is planning to cause trouble."

Upon hearing this, no one spoke.

Nonsense, you killed someone, of course you'd cause trouble.

Seeing that no one spoke, the man's face turned cold as he asked, "Who's in charge here?"

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Hao.

Yesterday, the bureau chief personally appointed Shen Hao as the captain.

Now that the bureau chief is dead, Shen Hao is naturally the most powerful.

In an instant, Shen Hao felt as if he were being roasted over a fire.

Many people looked at Shen Hao with schadenfreude, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Yesterday, Shen Hao became the captain, and they were very dissatisfied.

How dare a mere brat ride on their heads? How can they stand it?

Today, seeing Shen Hao being dragged out to take the blame, I felt a sense of satisfaction.

We appointed you as the brigade leader, and now that a problem has arisen, you have to step in. I don't know if your shoulders can handle it.

Many people are waiting to see Shen Hao wet his pants.

"Are you the boss here?" the young officer asked, pointing at Shen Hao with a stern expression.

He was also a little puzzled; how could the head of a branch office be so young?

Shen Hao, who was originally waiting to watch the drama unfold, never expected that he himself would become the drama.

When the time came, Shen Hao could not back down.

He replied neither arrogantly nor servilely, "Yes, I was promoted to captain by the bureau chief yesterday. Last night, our bureau chief had an accident, so I'm currently the highest-ranking person here."

The young officer scoffed, "I heard your branch is harboring rebels? Planning to cause trouble?"

Shen Hao understood that this guy was trying to silence him.

No matter how you look at the police station, it's a legitimate institution. If they really wanted to kill someone, they would have already opened fire. Why bother with all this talking?

The other party is definitely using their power to intimidate and intimidate.

Looking at the officer in front of him, Shen Hao guessed that this guy might be Lu Jianzhang's son, Lu Chengwu.

Lu Chengwu is now very powerful, and the reason he came in such a grand manner is definitely because he doesn't want to get caught up in the public opinion in the capital.

Your son, the head of Yuan Datou's security detail, killed a patrolman outside. This has caused a huge uproar, and Yuan Datou is not going to look good either.

Therefore, the truth of this matter must not be revealed.

Once someone is exposed, they will become a target.

Having figured out the key point, Shen Hao also had an idea in mind.

Currently, Shen Hao faces two problems: one is the disturbance caused by the police station's family members, and the other is clearing Lu Chengwu of suspicion.

Such a big incident, and the director of the General Administration didn't even come; it's obvious he's hiding and not coming out.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Hao said, "This must be Young Master Lu. Our South City Branch is law-abiding and law-abiding; how could we possibly have any rebels?"

Lu Chengwu narrowed his eyes and asked, "So how did your bureau chief get into trouble?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Hao.

Shen Hao said with a serious expression, "Young Master Lu must have misunderstood. Our bureau chief led several team leaders to arrest rebels last night."

Unexpectedly, those rebels were really bold; they not only impersonated military officers but also dared to murder the bureau chief.

Young Master Lu, as you can see, our South City Branch has neither guns nor money.

These rebels are beyond our ability to deal with; we'll have to ask Director Lu to send troops to help us get revenge.

Lu Chengwu's eyes darted around, then lit up; he was quite satisfied with Shen Hao's explanation.

This time, they finally looked Shen Hao up and down properly.

Good lad, you've got things to do.

According to Shen Hao, these bureau chiefs and team leaders died in the line of duty, which sounds better than being beaten to death while fighting for women in a brothel.

Not only did the police station save face, but Lu Chengwu also extricated himself from the incident.

Once the military is removed from this incident.

Lu Chengwu is fine and will not be punished.

His father, Lu Jianzhang, will not be able to get any leverage against him.

President Yuan would save face and wouldn't be accused of indulging his subordinates.

No one else had the opportunity to launch an attack.

As for the truth, nobody cares.

As for the deaths of these bureau chiefs and team leaders, who cares?

Aside from their families, nobody really cared about their deaths.

Lu Chengwu came here this time to silence them, specifically to eliminate their family members.

The method taught by his father, Lu Jianzhang, was very simple.

Don't worry about the problems; just deal with the person who raised them, and that's it.

However, Shen Hao's words have given Lu Chengwu a way out, making it a win-win situation for everyone.

So, Lu Chengwu patted Shen Hao on the shoulder and laughed, "Not bad, you've got potential, come back later."

Shen Hao said, "Young Master Lu, I don't understand."

Lu Chengwu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, I will tell my father in a while to apply for subsidies for you deceased bureau chiefs."

We can't let them lose heart.

Shen Hao said, "Young Master Lu is truly kind-hearted. I thank you on behalf of my fallen brothers."

You bastard, if it weren't for your power, I would have shot you dead.

Lu Chengwu was very satisfied with how the incident was handled.

Before leaving, he said, "Remember to come to the drinking party tonight."

After saying this, he addressed the soldiers: "There have been rebels in the south of the city. You are all responsible. Find them thoroughly today."

"Yes, Captain!" the soldiers replied hastily, their eyes lighting up.

This search is another good opportunity to loot.

Of course, the target audience is only those at the bottom of society.

When Lu Chengwu misfired, everyone's gaze towards Shen Hao immediately changed.

No one expected that such a thorny issue would be resolved so easily.

Now, those who had previously looked down on Shen Hao have all shut up.

For the first time, I felt a sense of awe towards Shen Hao.

Meanwhile, Director Cao of the General Administration was having a terrible headache.

His superior had just relayed an order to him: this matter must not involve the military under any circumstances; if he doesn't handle it properly, he will be removed from his post.

This made Director Cao so angry he wanted to kill someone.

He was swearing and cursing in the office.

"Lu Jianzhang, you son of a bitch! Your son killed someone, and you expect me to clean up his mess? What kind of twisted logic is that?"

They might criticize, but they wouldn't dare to actually question it.

The thought of those family members grabbing his collar and cursing him, coupled with his superiors' orders, made Director Cao feel extremely uneasy. This thankless situation made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

I received the news last night, but Director Cao didn't dare to go to the Chengnan branch. Just thinking about the scene gave him a headache.
