CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 091: THE POWER OF CREDENTIALS_1

Liu Qian hurried over, shielding Zhang Bin behind him. "Bureau Chief Niu, this is a misunderstanding! Please don’t shoot!" he said anxiously.

"Vice County Head Liu, this is no misunderstanding," Bureau Chief Niu said sternly. "A mere peasant was carrying a gun and even attempted to injure someone with it. I cannot overlook this."

The three members of the Diao Clan and Mi Fei all had smug grins on their faces. Today was a complete victory for them. Now that they had caught Zhang Bin red-handed, they could deal with him however they wished.

Zhang Bin wasn’t panicked in the slightest. "I have a firearms permit," he said calmly. "Feel free to inspect it."

With that, he put down the sword in his right hand, took the permit out of his pocket, and tossed it onto the table.

"Hahaha, you’re killing me! A little peasant with a firearms permit? Did you buy that at a street stall?" Diao Qiwei bent over, laughing uproariously.

However, Niu Qingshan wasn’t laughing. Instead, his expression turned grave. He picked up the permit from the table and examined it carefully. Then, holding the permit with both hands, he respectfully returned it to Zhang Bin. "I’m sorry, Sir," he apologized. "I was not aware of your identity."

Then, he suddenly drew his gun and aimed it at Mi Fei, barking, "Drop the gun, or you will be executed without mercy!"

The other police officers immediately shifted their aim, their guns now trained on Mi Fei, their expressions turning murderous.

The Liu Family members were all taken aback.

The trio from the Diao Clan were completely dumbfounded, hardly believing their eyes.

What in the world is going on?

Elder Diao asked in confusion, "Bureau Chief Niu, have you made some kind of mistake?"

"I have not made a mistake," Bureau Chief Niu said coldly.

"I have a firearms permit, too," Mi Fei demanded angrily. "Why should I have to put my gun down?"

"Even with a permit, you can’t just draw your weapon and try to harm people," Bureau Chief Niu commanded.

"Then what about him? Why can he?" Mi Fei argued, refusing to back down.

"That is a state secret. You do not have the right to know," Bureau Chief Niu bellowed. "Put down the gun, or you will be shot on the spot!"

"You..." Mi Fei was so furious he almost spat blood.

The three from the Diao Clan also turned ashen with rage, feeling as if Zhang Bin had slapped them viciously across the face once again, leaving them seeing stars.

They stared at Zhang Bin with eyes that looked like they could eat him alive. Their minds were filled with confusion and frustration, completely baffled. How could a simple peasant possess such power? How could he have a gun permit that was connected to state secrets?

The Liu Family, however, were overjoyed. Liu Ruolan was so happy she nearly jumped with joy.

Only Liu Ruomei was filled with doubt. What exactly were Zhang Bin’s credentials? How could they possess such terrifying power? Could it be the legendary Special Action Team credentials? Was Zhang Bin actually a member of the Special Action Team? But he was just a simple peasant. When did he become a member of the Special Action Team? Suddenly, she realized this naughty, lecherous youth was incredibly mysterious. Not only was his cultivation level unfathomable, but his identity was also a complete secret. It seemed the secrets he harbored were no less significant than those of the Hacker Rabbit King.

Facing more than a dozen dark gun muzzles, with his right hand pierced by Zhang Bin, Mi Fei had little combat strength left. He finally surrendered and laid down his gun.

Bureau Chief Niu lowered his voice and whispered into Zhang Bin’s ear, "Sir, should we arrest Mi Fei?"

Damn, this badge really carries that much authority? Zhang Bin thought, inwardly shocked. Outwardly, he said, "This man is extremely dangerous. Arrest him."

"Arrest him!" Bureau Chief Niu shouted.

Several police officers pounced. With a sharp CLICK, they slapped handcuffs on Mi Fei.

Mi Fei didn’t dare resist. Although he held the police in contempt, he couldn’t disregard a super-expert like Zhang Bin, whose gun was still aimed steadily at him.

"Bureau Chief Niu, what is the meaning of this?" Elder Diao’s face turned livid as he shot to his feet, his oppressive aura pouring out from him. In the past, he had been a high-ranking official and had developed a formidable official bearing.

Bureau Chief Niu, however, was not the least bit intimidated. "The meaning is simple: we’re making an arrest," he said coolly. "This man is extremely dangerous and must be taken into custody."

Then he lowered his voice again and whispered to Zhang Bin, "Sir, should we destroy his cultivation level? Otherwise, he’s likely to escape."

"Of course we should," Zhang Bin said, delighted. He had just been regretting not destroying Mi Fei’s cultivation level, and now he had another chance?

He snatched up his sword and stabbed toward Mi Fei’s Dantian. He moved so fast that no one could follow the motion. Although Mi Fei saw it coming and tried to dodge, he couldn’t avoid it. In an instant, his Dantian was pierced.

"AHHH—" He let out a bloodcurdling scream. "Zhang Bin, you actually destroyed the cultivation level I painstakingly built for forty years! What grudge is there between us?"

"What? Zhang Bin destroyed Mi Fei’s cultivation level?" The members of both the Diao and Liu families were completely dumbfounded, unable to believe Zhang Bin could be so bold.

Such a swift sword. Truly the work of a Special Action Team expert, Niu Qingshan praised inwardly.

"We have no grudge," Zhang Bin said with imposing authority. "But you forced me into a duel without any reason and even pointed a gun at me. That shows just how vicious a person you are. Therefore, your cultivation level had to be destroyed and your gun license revoked. This is for the public’s safety. Take him away."

The police escorted Mi Fei out of the conference room.

The members of the Diao Clan were howling with rage, their faces burning with humiliation. They had called the police to arrest Zhang Bin. Instead, Zhang Bin was unharmed, had destroyed Mi Fei’s cultivation level right in front of the police, and now the police were even taking Mi Fei away.

Diao Gaoming, ever shrewd, rushed out and grabbed Bureau Chief Niu’s arm. "Bureau Chief Niu," he whispered, "what exactly is that document? The Diao Clan will be sure to reward you generously."

"I don’t want your reward," Bureau Chief Niu said coldly. "It involves state secrets, which I cannot disclose."

With that, he led the police to their cars and quickly departed.

That damned Niu. Sooner or later, I’ll make his life a living hell, Diao Gaoming cursed inwardly, forced to hang his head and return to the conference room.

"What exactly does the Diao Clan want from me?" Zhang Bin slapped his gun on the table, squinting at the three of them, his eyes filled with an icy light. "If it’s just more threats, I’ve already seen plenty."

"Humph," Elder Diao snorted. "Who are you trying to scare?"

"You inhuman old bastard," Zhang Bin scoffed. "State your purpose. Otherwise, I’m done wasting my time with you."

Elder Diao had never been cursed at like this before. He was filled with rage as he coldly commanded, "Don’t you want to cancel Liu Ruolan’s engagement?" This was not a sign of weakness, but a threat.

"Engagement?" Zhang Bin scoffed contemptuously. "That’s laughable. Does it have any legal standing? Without a marriage certificate, Liu Ruolan is a free woman. I’m going to marry her. She is my woman. What are you going to do about it?"
