From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a powerful martial arts demon god!

in the secret room.

Jiang Heng picked up the bottle of dark red medicine, turned it over and over, but found no markings.

He thought for a moment, then put the bottle of solution into his pocket.

Since we can't figure it out, let's take it back first and then find a research institute to study its components. That should be enough to determine what this solution is...

He stepped over Liu Yuheng's corpse on the ground and then walked out of the secret room.

At this time.

boom--

A deafening roar erupted, and rubble flew everywhere along the corridor.

Lu Zehai crashed through the top-floor exterior wall and rushed into the corridor.

His body seemed to be coated with a faint copper light, transforming into a bronze Buddha with eyes like lightning and an astonishing aura.

His cold gaze swept around, only to see a pile of severed limbs on the ground, the stench of blood overwhelming.

He paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned his head to look into the depths of the corridor.

Jiang Heng emerged from the deep chamber and nodded upon seeing him: "Old Lü, you're here."

"..."

Lu Zehai looked at him with some confusion: "Where's Liu Yuheng?"

Jiang Heng pointed behind him: "Inside, they're already dead."

A look of astonishment appeared on Lü Zehai's face.

He had just learned from Qin An that Jiang Heng had gone to see Liu Yuheng alone, so he immediately led his team over.

He had thought that Jiang Heng, alone, would not last long against so many Hongmen experts.

So he unleashed his full power, intending to rush to the top floor to provide support, but he didn't expect that by the time he got there, the battle was already over...

Lu Zehai's expression was somewhat complicated: "You've reached level three?"

"Not yet..."

Jiang Heng smiled, and before Lü Zehai could even breathe a sigh of relief, he added, "But it should be soon."

"..."

Lu Zehai's lips twitched, and a sense of urgency suddenly arose in his heart.

When Jiang Heng's physical body reached level zero, he was at the peak of level two. When Jiang Heng reached level one, he was at the peak of level two.

Jiang Heng is already at the peak of level two, but he is still at the peak of level two!

If this keeps up, he won't even reach level three before Jiang Heng does...

If word got out that his teammate had easily overtaken him, how could Lü Zehai ever face anyone again!

However, I'll be there soon. In at most a month, I'll be able to break through to level three of the physical body...

Lu Zehai comforted himself and decided to focus all his efforts on cultivation from now on.

The two then went downstairs and met up with the members of Groups 7 and 4 downstairs to arrest the other Liu Yuheng subordinates in the Red Dust Bar.

At the same time, they contacted members of the police force and several nearby groups to come and help, and escorted all the criminals in the bar back to the Wu'an Police Station for interrogation...

Subsequently, news of Liu Yuheng, a notorious figure in the Hongmen Gang, being killed by Jiang Heng spread rapidly, immediately alarming the entire Wu'an Bureau.

The Hongmen faction is deeply entrenched in Yuquan District, and the Yuquan District Security Bureau has been fighting with them for countless years.

Although they are gradually eliminating their influence, progress is still very slow. This is the first time they have killed a Red Stick-level expert from the opposing side.

……

Office of the Third Detachment, Wu'an Branch, Yuquan District.

Jiang Heng was writing case notes at his desk when Duan Zhenyu walked into the office and patted him on the shoulder.

"Stop writing now, the bureau chief is here."

Jiang Heng was slightly taken aback, then put down the pen in his hand and turned to look behind him.

Jiang Yunliang, director of the Wu'an Bureau of Yuquan District, walked in from the door and nodded gently at him.

Jiang Heng stood up and nodded, saying, "Director."

Jiang Yunliang smiled and said, "Little Jiang, you really did another big thing for me without making a sound."

"Chief, you're joking. It was those corrupt officials who tried to harm me. I was forced to fight back, which is why I killed them..."

"Good job killing them. In the past, the team members in the bureau were too law-abiding and dared not do anything, which is why it was always difficult to deal with Hongmen."

"Your killing has certainly boosted the prestige of our Yuquan District Branch."

Jiang Yunliang was quite satisfied with Jiang Heng and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"Good. Keep up the good work. Once you break through to the third level of physical strength and are promoted to the rank of branch captain, I will apply to the General Administration to help you form the fourth branch."

Jiang Heng was slightly taken aback, then his eyes lit up.

Although the group leader in the bureau can be promoted to the level of squad leader as long as he breaks through to the third level of physical body and accumulates more than 50,000 merits.

However, there is still a big difference between "team leader level" and "official team leader".

After all, the Wu'an Bureau of Yuquan District only has three detachments.

The position of branch commander is filled by multiple people, and it's impossible to simply let a newcomer oust the previous branch commander.

Therefore, even if a team leader in the bureau is later promoted to the level of branch captain.

He can only take up the post when a vacancy becomes available for the head of a security bureau branch in another region.

Or they could simply choose to be transferred to the military.

The former takes a long time; it's unclear how long it will take.

As for the latter... the military has too many rules and restrictions, so Jiang Heng definitely doesn't plan to go.

Jiang Yunliang's promise to form a new detachment would save Jiang Heng a lot of trouble.

Even if they are promoted later, they will not need to be transferred to another Wu'an branch in another district to readjust to a new environment.

Jiang Heng was secretly pleased and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Director."

"They're all minor matters."

Jiang Yunliang waved his hand.

"Your killing of the 'Hongmen Red Stick' this time is a rare opportunity for a counterattack. This afternoon, the entire bureau will organize a meeting to commend you."

At the same time, we should take this opportunity to concentrate our efforts and wipe out all criminal gangs and organized crime groups in the southwest region.

"Yes."

……

In the afternoon, Jiang Yunliang organized a meeting in the conference hall, requiring all team members to attend.

At the conference, Jiang Heng's achievements since taking on the role of team leader were solemnly commended, and all Wu'an team members were encouraged to learn from Jiang Heng.

In no time, Jiang Heng's name spread throughout the entire Third Detachment of the Wu'an Bureau in Yuquan District, attracting much attention.

Furthermore, Jiang Yunliang also announced at the meeting the implementation of the "Sweep Southwest" plan.

The Wu'an Bureau deployed its three detachments to concentrate its efforts on thoroughly eliminating organized crime in the southwest region of Yuquan District, preventing the resurgence of criminal gangs in the southwest.

This move clearly indicates that he intends to take this opportunity to completely break ties with Stone Buddha Pang Long and formally start a war.

That evening after the meeting ended.

The three detachments then mobilized their personnel to quickly locate the Hongmen forces in the southwest region and launch a capture operation...

The large-scale manhunt was temporarily halted two days later.

The interrogation department and the internal affairs department had to work overtime again to interrogate criminals and calculate merits for the members of the Armed Police Force who participated in the operation.

……

The guard post on Chongming Street.

Jiang Heng finished today's joint arrest mission and returned to the guard room.

After taking a shower, I changed into clean clothes.

He sat at his computer desk, leaning back in his office chair, lost in thought.

This time, Jiang Yunliang was clearly serious and intended to tear a piece of flesh from Hongmen.

And Stone Buddha Pang Long certainly won't sit idly by and wait for his doom; he will definitely look for an opportunity to fight back.

As for himself, the one who sparked this action...

Jiang Heng frowned slightly as he thought of this.

Previously, Hongmen might not have dared to openly attack the leader of the Wu'an Bureau.

But now that things have fallen apart, things might not be the same.

Besides Stone Buddha Pang Long, who is at the peak of level three, there are more than one other level three martial artist in Hongmen of Yuquan District...

Only by quickly advancing to the third level of physical strength can one have the ability to protect oneself.

Jiang Heng slowly regained his composure.

He then took out the dark red solution he had previously obtained from Liu Yuheng and examined it carefully.

"What is this...?"

The dark red solution in my hand shimmered under the light, creating a dazzling and mesmerizing effect.

Two days ago, he took a drop of this dark red solution and sent it to a research institute in Yuquan District for examination.

But the final result was just a list of ingredients with a lot of unknowns.
