The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The compound for the families of municipal bureau leaders.

Shi Yang was at home, enjoying a happy family time with his wife and son.

Of course, he would occasionally glance at his phone to see what his mistresses were chatting about in their group chat, and whether they were posting any "bonus" photos.

Shi Yang's security team is a group of 23 people, all of whom are third-tier professionals—the early stage of third-tier professional level, Lv60~70.

Not all of them were officially appointed; a total of 15 of them were arranged by the Shi family behind Shi Yang.

For the Shi family, allocating him 15 third-tier combatants is a considerable amount of valuable combat resources. It was only because he was running for mayor that the family increased his resource allocation; normally, he would only receive two or three at most.

The squad leader of the security team came in.

"Deputy Mayor."

Shi Yang gestured for him to go to the study to talk.

In the study, the security squad leader knelt on one knee.

"Deputy Mayor, the assassination was successful. All twenty bandits who were waiting for Xichuan Madman in the wilderness have been killed."

Where are our people?

"The bandits detonated 19 of their own, killing one of us and injuring nine of us, six of whom were seriously injured and unable to return to the group for a short time."

"That serious? There were even deaths? Didn't I warn you that bandits always self-destruct when they're in danger? Didn't you know to be careful?"

"This... self-destruction is dangerous at close range, and some bandits will entangle us and self-destruct if they are not killed immediately, which prevents our people from retreating to a safe distance."

"Still trying to get me to self-destruct? You're that desperate to die?"

"That's how bandits are, as you know, they're not quite mentally stable."

"Forget it, I feel unsafe now that I'm seven fewer people protecting me. Let's bring seven more people from the family."

"The clan is currently undergoing a 'cleanup,' and we can't get any third-job professionals to appear..."

"Then let's go for the peak of the second tier! That should be presentable, right?"

"yes!"

The security squad leader left.

Shi Yang took out his phone, glanced at the group chat for his concubines, and a smile crept onto his face.

"Heh, bandits, don't think I don't know. It must have been you who broke into my villa and stole my memory card!"

Shi Yang has no evidence.

He just had a gut feeling after watching the video posted by Monkey King.

This was his intuition honed through years of political struggles.

If a competitor takes the memory card, there will be no inaction.

On the contrary, the bandits, who used to get rich, kept shouting at the Madman of Xichuan with childish behaviors like "Come out and fight me one-on-one" and "My beautiful mother, come out here!"

Today, contrary to usual practice, the head of the Chen family was mentioned.

The head of the Chen family is a crucial link in a series of plans devised by Shi Yang and the Shi family.

Therefore, Shi Yang's intuition told him that the bandits definitely knew something.

"It's a good thing you didn't meet with Qin Zheng. That memory card doesn't prove anything, and it wasn't found in my house anyway."

As for Qin Zheng, if he makes contact with the bandits and finds out that I'm the one who's trying to harm him, he'll definitely cause me trouble!

"Hmph, those bandits, I need to hurry up and become mayor so I can completely wipe them out of Xichuan City, then let's see how they can keep jumping around!"

Shi Yang was very familiar with the bandits' style.

He didn't expect to get his things back from the bandits.

He chose to kill them all.

He couldn't reach the bandits in Jiangnan City and Yunshan City, but how could he not control the bandits in Xichuan City?

Shi Yang sent a large red envelope to his concubines' group and sent a message.

Shi Yang: "I love you all! My beloved concubines! I'm about to become mayor, and then you'll all be mayor's wives!"

The group of concubines started showering him with compliments and expressed their opinions.

"We love you too! My idol!!!"

Shi Yang was overjoyed, feeling as if he had become several years younger.

I just didn't realize that the green light above my head was shining.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

field.

Qin Zheng appeared next to Lucky Guy.

Song Gua, who was in charge at headquarters, said, "Brother Lucky, talk to him politely. We need the intelligence he has."

Lucky Guy: "Pretty Mom! When did you get here?! I was being assassinated and you didn't even lift a finger? I almost died!"

The hexagram Song: "6".

Qin Zheng was dressed much the same as last time, in tattered clothes, unkempt, and looking even more haggard.

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "Do we know each other well? Why should I help you? I'm willing to come see you because your people said they know where Patriarch Chen is."

"Aren't you afraid we'll lie to you?"

"So what? I can't just let this lead slip by. So, do you know this, or don't you?"

"Know!"

"Then tell me! I'll tear that scum Chen Jing to pieces!"

Feeling that Qin Zheng wasn't in any danger, Song Gua switched places and spoke to him personally.

To avoid Lucky Guy from spewing profanities and affecting the overall situation.

"I can tell you, but you have to exchange information with me."

"What do you want to know?"

"Besides the Chen family, were you responsible for the massacre of the other families in Xichuan City?"

"No! Someone is killing people in my name; there must be some ulterior motive behind it!"

Why is the Chen family targeting your wife and daughters?

When this matter was mentioned, Song Gua noticed that Qin Zheng's fists clenched visibly, his eyes instantly became bloodshot, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly.

He must have been thinking of his wife and daughter who died tragically; one can only imagine the grief in his heart.

"Because I captured the son of the Chen family head!"

"Did he commit a crime?"

"Forcibly abducting women."

"In Xichuan City?"

"Ha, do you think Xichuan City has a high safety index? They just don't make it that obvious."

"You knew that arresting scions of powerful families would offend a faction, and you yourself have no background whatsoever, so why did you still do it?"

Qin Zheng looked up at the distant mist.

"Since when do law enforcement officers need a reason to arrest someone who doesn't follow the law? Even Heaven grows old if it has feelings; the vicissitudes of life are the true path of humanity..."

"Times have changed! Might makes right! You've offended a powerful family; aren't you afraid of implicating your wife and daughters?"

"I was terrified! I've been arranging for my brothers to protect them! But that day, they were all transferred! And I myself was delayed by a mission and couldn't get back!"

Do you regret it?

"I regret... I regret sticking to the old ways. I should have wiped out their entire family before they could even make a move!"

"Correct answer, I appreciate it."

This is a man who is righteous but not bound by tradition.

Tragically, his wife and daughters will never return.

Qin Zheng looked at Song Gua with some surprise.

"Your voice sounds young, but it gives me a very mature feeling."

"That's not important. Now, we can exchange intelligence."

"No, weren't all those questions you asked just now the information you wanted to know?"

"Of course not, when did I say yes?"

"You... alright, the bandit's reputation is well-deserved. What do you want to know?"

"Attack me first."

"?"

Although we don't know what this bandit is up to.

But Qin Zheng still casually waved his hand, and a cross-shaped dart appeared in his palm, flying towards Song Gua.

Song Gua and Monkey King switched places.

"You old scoundrel! Am I pretty?!"
