Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 884

As soon as he approached, the flies immediately swarmed around him.

Although he had greeted the Fly Man a few times, he still couldn't recognize these as the same ones as before.

Fortunately, the fly man recognized him.

"Buzz!"

The leader of the fly-men blocked the other fly-men and flew to Liu Zheng's front.

He looked closely and realized it wasn't the same clever fly-headed guy from before.

"I want to go in and take a look, can I?"

So he skipped the small talk and got straight to the point.

"Buzz!"

The fly shook its head vigorously.

"What about that plane tree? Is it still there?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Buzz!"

The fly nodded vigorously.

"What measures did you take against it? Was it injured?"

he continued to ask.

This time, the fly stopped buzzing and just stared at him blankly.

Well, Liu Zheng knew he wouldn't get anything out of him.

So he called Black Skull again.

"Brother, do you have a solution?"

The black skull spoke first.

"I've got it. I've asked someone to connect me with a deputy director in the finance department, but I don't know if it'll be reliable."

Liu Zheng said.

"Damn, that's awesome!"

"Black Skull exclaimed in surprise."

“You’ve already contacted the finance department, so it must be reliable. Our department’s application to renovate the office building has been rejected by the finance department several times. If the finance department is willing to give in, we’d be happy to transplant that tree to your doorstep, let alone let it go.”

"I usually stay at the restaurant."

he reminded.

"Ahem, never mind then."

"That's what the black skull said awkwardly."

Within the designated area of the Bloody Restaurant, no department may exercise its functions unless the restaurant itself requests it.

"Brother Hei, I want to go in and take a look."

Liu Zheng said.

"Didn't you say you were looking for someone? Why are you going in?"

"The black skull asked."

"I won't feel at ease if I don't check it out."

"What if it doesn't work out in the end? Are you going to break me out of prison?"

Black Skull was a seasoned veteran; he immediately got to the heart of the matter.

"I won't hide it from you, Brother Hei. If I had gone in by myself, I would definitely have broken into the prison. But if you helped me go in, Brother Hei, I definitely won't make things difficult for you."

He said.

"Yeah, I believe you when you say that. Fine, I guess I need your help anyway, sigh."

Black Skull sighed.

"Thank you, Brother Hei."

After hanging up the phone, Liu waited for a while before Black Skull arrived in his pickup truck.

"You little rascal, we've only known each other for a few days, and you've already caused me so much trouble."

Black Skull complained as soon as he got out of the car.

"Brother Hei, you've worked hard! Long live Brother Hei! I admire Brother Hei so much!"

He bowed and made a gesture of respect with a smile.

"Alright, alright, anyone who didn't know better would think I did something to you. Let's go, Daddy."

"The black skull said irritably."

"Please don't call me that, it will mess up the seniority."

Liu Zheng followed it and continued the conversation.

"Then what should I call you? My dear son?"

The black skull gave a strange laugh.

"It's not impossible. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is like half a son."

He said with a grin.

The Black Skull had two daughters, which together made up a perfectly healthy son.

"You son of a bitch, you want a beating, don't you!"

The black skull instantly flew into a rage.

The two bickered as they made their way into Rose Street. The flies and water trucks seemed to have a tacit understanding and ignored Liu Zheng.

However, such an important scene would certainly not be guarded by only temporary workers, and they were soon stopped by a sheep in uniform.

Yes, a sheep with all four legs on the ground, not a person with a sheep's head.

"Old Hei, why did you bring in unrelated people?"

The sheep glanced at Liu Zheng and asked.

“What do you mean by ‘unrelated person’? This is my little brother. Ah Zheng, call him Brother Bai.”

Black Skull patted Liu Zheng.

"Hello, Brother Bai!"

Liu Zheng shouted loudly.

"He's quite energetic. A black goat calf mix, wow, that's really rare."

The sheep looked at his hooves and clicked its tongue.

"Yes, in a way, Brother Bai and I are relatives."

Liu Zheng strikes the snake onto the stick path.

"No, the black goat calf is just called that, it has nothing to do with us goats."

The sheep rejected his attempt to claim kinship with someone else.

"You know me, I know him, so we're connected, aren't we? Alright, alright, stop messing around. I'll treat you to drinks and grass later."

The black skull interrupted the conversation between the two sheep.

"You're the one who should stop causing trouble. What are you doing bringing him to this crime scene?"

"The sheep asked."

"Turn that thing on."

The black skull looked around and said.

"Mysterious."

A tuft of the sheep's curly wool suddenly stretched and straightened, then it pulled out a megaphone-like device from its uniform pocket and pressed it, deploying a small soundproof barrier.

"Can we talk now?"

"The sheep asked."

“That tree belongs to A-Zheng’s friend. He has already found a way to save it, but he is still a little worried, so he came in to check.”

"That's what the black skull said."

"That's incredible? This is a case personally overseen by Director Wu. Who could possibly turn this upside down?"

The sheep looked doubtful.

"A deputy section chief at the Ministry of Finance."

Seemingly feeling that the soundproof barrier wasn't secure enough, the black skull whispered in the sheep's ear.

"Fuck!"

The sheep widened its already large eyes.

"seriously?"

"Of course it's true. What kind of relationship do we have? Would I lie to you?"

The black skull patted his chest and said.

"Brother, it was your brother Bai who was talking too loudly just now. If you're unhappy about it, just take a few bites from your brother Bai, and I promise I won't complain."

The sheep said to Liu Zheng sincerely.

Each department in the city hall wields considerable power, but this power is divided into internal and external aspects.

Some departments have a lot of power internally, but almost no power externally.

Some departments wield great power externally, but internally they are relegated to a subordinate role.

The Ministry of Finance has little power externally, but it's a big shot within the city hall.

Because the city hall does not have a dedicated personnel department, most of the personnel power is in the hands of the various departments themselves, and a small part is in the hands of the general office.

This is impossible in reality unless the political entity wants to quickly pass through the historical cycle.

But in the metropolis, this has almost no negative impact.

Because the will of the Speaker alone supersedes that of the entire City Hall.

Chapter 601 Liu Zheng: I'm a Father?

"Uh, Brother Bai, do we really have to take advantage of that?"

Liu Zheng said with some difficulty.

"what do you mean?"

The sheep was taken aback at first, then noticed the part he was looking at.

"Wait, bro, did you learn Chinese from your music teacher?"

It squeezed its hind legs together and cried out.

"Haha, just kidding, Brother Bai. How could I possibly pluck your hair?"

Liu Zheng laughed.
