110: 110.

Batting style 110: 110.

Batting style Chen Zhizhong, in just a few words, had completely spilled the beans about Li Guanqi’s situation.

Xiao Cha wasn’t silly, she of course realized what that implied!

But after the initial shock, she found it only natural.

After all, wasn’t the person before her the one who rose from performing miscellaneous tasks to becoming the Chief Constable?

How could he be anything but extraordinary?

After a moment of silence, Chen Zhizhong suddenly engaged in small talk:

“Back in the day, your father and I weren’t exactly on the best of terms.

Your father was so stubborn, sometimes I wondered how he managed to live so long, let alone find himself a good wife…”

With a long sigh and a smile, Chen Zhizhong then composed himself and said solemnly:

“Xiao Cha, as a child, you were always shouting about becoming a hero.

The word ‘hero’ is a mere eight strokes, weighing less than half a cent when written on paper.

But if you bear it on your back, not even tens of thousands of pounds can hold it down.

Your father bore it, and it cost him his life.

Do you still want to carry it?”

“Uncle Chen…” Xiao Cha, with a calm demeanor and resolute tone, said:

“I want to try.

If I can’t bear it, at most it’ll crush me to death.

I’ll never let this character fall to the ground!”

Chen Zhizhong looked up and smiled warmly, “Good, good, then off you go.

Oh, and take this book with you to practice – having a diversity of skills won’t weigh you down.”

A book was tossed over, and Xiao Cha caught it, looking to see it was “Military Killing Fist: Heavy Cannon Bombardment.”

“This is…

a Grandmaster Level Fist Technique!?”

Xiao Cha’s breathing became heavy, her hands trembling!

Though the path of martial arts values cultivation and practice over techniques, a Grandmaster Level Fist Technique could be used all the way up to the Golden Body Mirror, and it was something money couldn’t buy!

Chen Zhizhong spoke casually, “I have some connections with the president of the Jinmen Martial Arts Association.

I just had a lot of contribution points to spare, so I helped you exchange for it.”

The other party made it sound easy, but Xiao Cha knew it couldn’t have been so simple—no telling how many favors it must have cost!

She expressed her gratitude very much, “Thank you, Uncle Chen!”

Chen Zhizhong waved his hand nonchalantly, “Alright, time to go back and study the book well.”

“Then I’m off to practice!”

“Be safe.”

After seeing off his friend’s daughter, Chen Zhizhong looked at the pile of case files on the table and sighed:

“I’m getting old, I should have seen this coming.”

The Yahang strongholds, Wang Siqi, the son of the Yahang Leader…

they had all been in contact with Xiao Cha before their deaths, even clashing directly.

Blinded by proximity, Chen Zhizhong had never thought in that direction.

Until this latest visit to the ruins of the fire, he learned that a True Inheritor of the Jiushan Sect was killed at the same time as the “Pregnant Woman Disappearance Case”.

Deep down, everyone had a hunch about who was capable of such heinous deeds.

Chen Zhizhong showed a look of gratification: “The girl’s kept a deep cover, avenging your father’s death without making a sound.”

“I never would have guessed Old Luo had a daughter among the Four Spirits.

Fond of setting fires…

could it be the Vermilion Bird?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xiao Cha rushed home, not having opened her mouth yet when Lu Li spoke first:

“Seeing you laugh like that, there must be great news.”

“Hehe~ that’s right~” Xiao Cha said:

“Chief Chen knows about our situation but he has no intention of reporting it, instead, he encouraged me~ and even gave me an incredible Secret Manual!”

The girl, ecstatic, recounted the events, and then pulled out the Secret Manual.

“Military Killing Fist: Heavy Cannon Bombardment…

a plain yet domineering name.”

“This is a Grandmaster Level Fist Technique!

Even martial artists at the Golden Body Realm can use it~”

The two of them sat side by side, flipping through the book.

The beginning parts discussed the regular techniques for channeling fist energy.

The aim was to gather all the body’s power and release it explosively, not only powerful and forceful, but rapid and carrying a ‘blast’ force.

It could make the released energy force explode inside the target’s body, with tremendous destructive power!

But that alone would be nothing but high-quality boxing, not nearly reaching the level of a Grandmaster Fist Technique.

Continuing to flip through, the last part of the book discussed “detached energy.”

“Interweaving spirit and inner breath to the extreme, and blasting it at the target, the minimum explosion power is equivalent to 200 grams of TNT…

The previous M67 grenades only had 180 grams of explosive charge.”

Lu Li expressed his surprise, “It can really be shot out like a bomb?

A combination skill of Refining Spirit and Martial Arts!?”

He was quite curious, but unfortunately, this move had a minimum requirement to execute—Meditation and Marrow Cleansing, that is, Refining Spirit Meditation and Martial Arts Marrow Cleansing.

No one at home could reach both these realms at the same time, so for now, he couldn’t witness it.

However, it had already opened the door to a new world for Lu Li.

At that moment, Xiao Cha suddenly slapped her thigh, realizing, “No wonder Uncle Chen told me to read books!

He said that Li Guanqi himself has the ability to launch detached energy.

It must be similar to this!”

Lu Li nodded, acknowledging that Chief Constable Chen had really put in great effort.

“We shouldn’t disappoint his kindness; let’s use all our skills to swiftly and decisively eradicate Li Guanqi!”

“Definitely!” Xiao Cha was brimming with confidence!

Killing someone in their own headquarters, with the top leader providing convenience—the timing, geographical, and human conditions were all perfect!

The two found heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, and Xiao Cha also pulled out a prized drone.

And Lu Li, looking at the titanium alloy ball he brought, was silent.

He had bought a total of one ton, which is 2000 pounds.

He had always handled 1000 pounds, but now, was it time to try operating a ton, especially since the opponent had explosive means?

~~~~~~~~~~

Time quickly arrived at six o’clock in the evening.

At the Third District Patrol Bureau, Chen Zhizhong cleared out the entire building and then wandered around a few more times, making sure there was no one left.

At that time, the sound of cars parking reached the outside.

He hurriedly went downstairs and saw two black Cadillacs open their doors, and six people in vigorous attire stepped out.

Each one stood straight, exuding a tough and heroic air, with Li Guanqi leading the way.

Chen Zhizhong rushed up to greet him, nodding and bowing respectfully, “Master Li, all the records from the various branches have been brought here, and you can review them at any time.”

Li Guanqi nodded and walked into the building first.

His five followers each carried a large metal box from the car.

Chen Zhizhong didn’t know what was inside, but judging by their steps, each box must weigh about 300 pounds.

Especially one man who was two meters tall, with a beard like steel needles, was carrying 500 pounds!

Chen Zhizhong immediately guessed what it was—Knight Armor!

Made of fine steel, weighing several hundred pounds, only Martial Artists could wear them, transforming into war machines on the battlefield.

With that thing, guns are useless; heavy artillery is necessary!

But Xiao Cha didn’t know.

How could he be warned?

Chen Zhizhong was anxious in his heart, but he still smiled on the face, leading them to a spacious conference room.

“Master Li, if you are busy, I won’t disturb you.”

After exchanging a few polite words, Chen Zhizhong wanted to slip away.

But Li Guanqi’s perusal of the files was something he left to his subconscious, alerting his mind only when there was a problem.

His mind, however, liked to chat with people.

He previously wanted to entice the Governor’s daughter with Red Sleeves added fragrance, not just for the sake of beauty.

Right now, he started chatting with Chen Zhizhong.

“Mr.

Chen, who else is in your family?”

“A nagging wife and a pair of good-for-nothing children.”

Chen Zhizhong chatted along cheerfully, without showing any signs of concern.

But soon enough, he couldn’t keep the strain from his face!

He saw Li Guanqi’s five followers carrying a second round of items from the car—a lot of hollow metal balls with a grid-like pattern engraved on them.

When they explode, the pattern turns the metal balls into terrifying shrapnel flying in all directions!

Chen Zhizhong knew how dangerous this was; his face turned a bit pale, and he was desperate to notify Xiao Cha.

But unbeknownst to him, there was already a palm-sized drone flying above the Patrol Bureau.
