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

late at night.

Shangjing City.

On the playground of Zhenhua University, Ye Chen was still practicing his skills with the training dummies.

"Combo rate: 96%, Follow-up attack rate: 90%, Skill control success rate: 98%, Combat skill rating: SSS! Surpassing 99.99% of previous students!"

The training dummy provided an evaluation of the training session.

As a top-tier university, Zhenhua University boasts a comprehensive range of hardware and software facilities to help students enhance their combat capabilities.

This kind of plot is too common, I know you don't like to watch it, so I won't introduce it.

Ye Chen stopped and put away his weapon, a dagger of only excellent quality.

He sat on the empty grass of the playground, the moonlight shining on his dark face, typical of islanders.

"To everyone in Nanshui City, I will definitely bring back the trophy and transform Nanshui City from an unknown, remote city into a place that everyone knows and loves!"

Looking back on the past year, Ye Chen felt full of fighting spirit and a warm current surged in his heart as he received various preferential treatments and kindness from the entire city in Nanshui City.

Even now, in Beijing, after experiencing the ups and downs of human relationships, he still cherishes this gratitude deep in his heart and forges ahead with determination.

"However, my resources are too poor, and fighting them is too disadvantageous, no matter how much I improve my skills..."

A sinister voice echoed within Ye Chen's body.

"That's why you need me."

Beneath Ye Chen's thick bangs and thick red headscarf, a golden Eye of Horus opened.

Ye Chen's lips gradually turned up, his eyes widened, his pupils contracted, and his gaze became more lustful.

"Please, my other self!"

……

late at night.

However, Nishikawa City.

Deputy Mayor Zheng Suwen was still at get off work, looking at the latest pre-election results and poll results of the city council on his desk, filled with worry.

"Just 3 percentage points short, Shi Yang, Shi Yang, to lose to you like this, I'm so unwilling!"

Tomorrow will be the last opportunity for the two deputy mayors running for mayor to give public speeches.

Zheng Suwen has no confidence in recovering those three percentage points.

There was a knock on the office door, and Zheng Suwen's security squad leader stood at the door.

"Boss, aren't you going home yet? It's almost midnight."

Zheng Suwen took off his glasses and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"You can all go home now. I'll work on my speech for tomorrow."

The security squad leader said with difficulty.

"Boss, how can we leave if you don't go home? If anything happens to you, we'll all be held responsible."

Zheng Suwen smiled.

"Don't worry, Shi Yang will protect my safety."

When the competition between the two deputy mayors is fierce, if one of them dies unnaturally, the other will no longer be able to become mayor.

Those who are highly suspicious cannot clear their names even if they jump into the Yellow River.

Unless he can truly escape the investigation of the Federal Commission for Discipline Inspection—but given Shi Yang's situation, he's definitely afraid of the Commission coming down.

Therefore, in fact, Shi Yang was indeed using the power of the Shi family to secretly protect Zheng Suwen, so that he would not die a violent death in the street.

The security squad leader stepped down.

The security squad leader is here again.

"Is there anything else?"

The squad leader pulled a "fortune hood" from his backpack, put it on, and said in a hoarse, terrifying voice.

"Vice Mayor Zheng, I want to play a game..."

At the bandit headquarters, a group of bandits are watching a show while simultaneously accessing Monkey King's memories.

Song Gua evaluation.

"Monkey Bro is getting better and better at infiltration now."

"Sunflower Seed Guy" cracked sunflower seeds and grinned cheekily.

"He should wear another black leather jacket..."

A bunch of black lines appeared on Song Gua's forehead.

"Did you secretly ask Yuwen Hao for some resources?"

Da Congming flipped through the information collected by the intelligence department.

"According to the records, Zheng Suwen is an honest official; to date, not a single blemish can be found on his record."

Shi Yang's security team is full of third-level trainees, while his security team only has one third-level trainee; the difference is not too great.

Moreover, he had no powerful family backing him, nor was he closely associated with any family; he seemed like a legitimate official serving the people.

"Who cares if he's an honest official or not? If we can help him become mayor, why wouldn't he help us?"

"An honest official has moral standards for himself; he probably wouldn't help us kidnap Shi Yang."

Inside Zheng Suwen's office.

"Hahaha! You're going to kidnap Shi Yang? Great! I'll do everything in my power to support you!"

Zheng Suwen warmly grasped Monkey's hand, his eyes narrowing into slits with joy.

Monkey said with some surprise.

"I thought you were an honest official..."

"Hey, being an honest official is just a persona. How could someone like me, who comes from a humble background, climb to this position without winning the hearts of the people?"

Besides, we should judge actions, not intentions, because no one is perfect when it comes to intentions!

"If I were mayor, at least I wouldn't be detrimental to the citizens. But if Shih-yang were mayor, he'd probably raise the tax rate the very next day!"

Zheng Suwen changed his tone and continued.

"What do you want to do? How do you expect me to cooperate? Let me make this clear from the start: this matter is not to be involved with me. My people will not show up to help you."

"What you need to do is prevent the three major security management agencies—the law enforcement team, the Special Affairs Bureau, and the Public Security Bureau—from interfering in our operations too quickly after we take action."

"This... is a bit difficult."

"It will only delay us by ten to thirty minutes. Once we've succeeded, you don't need to worry about it anymore."

"You're going to kill him on the spot?"

"No, take it out of the city."

"How can that be done? Xichuan City is so big, the law enforcement team will definitely catch you when you try to escape."

"You don't need to worry about that. Just tell me if the relevant departments can postpone their deployment, especially those high-ranking officials who have been transferred to higher positions."

"Let me think..."

A moment later, Zheng Suwen had an idea.

"I can manage it, but I can't guarantee that none of the top experts from the three departments will go. Some of them already support Shi Yang or have close ties with him."

"It's okay if a few come, we can handle it."

"Is there anything else I need to cooperate with?"

"This matter involves government personnel. If we take action, we'll violate the agreement with the responsible parties, and the federal higher-ups might target the bandits. Do you have a solution?"

"That's easy. I have evidence of Shi Yang's corruption, but he has the powerful Shi family backing him. Even if I submit it to the higher-ups, it will definitely be ignored."

But if Shi Yang falls from power, the Shi family won't support a useless person anymore, right?

When the time comes, I'll say that this is bandits participating in an anti-corruption campaign, just in a rather unusual way.

To avoid being discovered by Shi Yang, I didn't report to my superiors in advance, but it has already been reported to my level.

I cannot give you this evidence now. It is evidence that only I can obtain. If you make it public, it will be tantamount to declaring that I am cooperating with you.

Before Shi Yang falls from power, I don't want anyone to know that I'm cooperating with bandits. I hope you understand.

Monkey King smiled and nodded.

"I understand. The entire conversation today has been recorded, and there are witnesses. I hope you can honor all the details we just discussed. Otherwise, we don't mind supporting a third person as mayor."

"Witness testimony?"

Monkey walked to the door and pulled Zheng Suwen's female secretary over. The poor secretary was not only tied up, but her mouth was also stuffed with her own stockings.

"She listened at the door the whole time."
