Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1288: Chapter 300: Who Could Possibly Endure This?!

He couldn’t understand, so he looked at Xiao Hu and said, ”Master Hu, why does that old guy seem like a completely different person today?”

Xiao Hu chuckled and replied, ”What’s there to wonder, I’ve figured it out. It’s just an act.”

Chen Wu said, ”People can really be so shameless, but how can they be so shameless?”

Xiao Hu, having gained experience following Chen Jie, laughed and said, ”What’s the big deal? It’s just us small people who can’t break free. I used to think that people should know shame, but since I’ve been with the Gang Leader and met those so-called big shots, I realized they’re the most shameless of all!”

”As long as there are benefits, you could make them kneel and call you father without hesitation.”

”Are they really so low?”

Chen Wu looked at Xiao Hu in shock, while Xiao Hu just smiled silently. This is nothing; this is the real world. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust are for ordinary people. The real upper echelon has broken free from the shackles of morality.

Hearing this, Chen Wu fell silent. It was clear that today’s experiences had redefined his understanding.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie saw the Old Magistrate, who had been kneeling and crawling for a long time, suddenly stop. Suddenly, he exclaimed with surprise, ”Oh dear, Old Sir, what are you doing? You’re going to kill this junior, kill this junior!”

As Chen Jie spoke, he helped the Old Magistrate up with a smile on his face, as if to say, how could he let an elder kneel before him.

Seeing Chen Jie’s demeanor, the Old Magistrate’s heart skipped a beat. This young man is very deep and not easy to deal with.

Thinking this, the Old Magistrate struggled and said, ”Lord Chen, let me kneel, let me kneel. I was deceived by the words of a villain and almost caused a great disaster. Now I know I regret it too late, too late.”

”Old Sir, what are you saying? How could a person of your stature be swayed by a villain? There must be some misunderstanding, misunderstanding!”

”Come, come, let’s sit down and talk, let’s sit down and talk.”

The Old Magistrate said, ”No, no, I have no face to sit. I ask Lord Chen to forgive this old man’s mistake; otherwise, I feel deeply uneasy and cannot express it.”

The Old Magistrate spoke with a weeping tone. Seeing the Old Magistrate like this, Chen Jie knew that the old man was trying to act along with him.

So he said, ”Old Sir, then tell us, what immoral thing did you do?”

”How could it come to this, how could it come to this!”

Hearing this, the Old Magistrate said, ”Lord, I don’t know. The Fishing Guild is your property. Recently, our Fishing Guild brothers have come to benefit our Xianning Prefecture, right?”

”I personally am very much in favor, but there’s a villain among us, my wretched Advisor. He instigated things, along with his cursed brother-in-law, our Xianning Prefecture’s arrest officer, who harbors resentment because our Fishing Guild brothers wouldn’t pay him respect.”

”Then they colluded, and my Advisor, having lost his mind, came to deceive me. I’m 65 years old, muddle-headed, so I let them handle it.”

”Then they collectively bullied our Fishing Guild brothers, I heard they even fought our brothers and harassed our women, beasts, worse than animals!”

The Old Magistrate cursed loudly.

He seemed truly angry, as if he could never tolerate this crime.

”Oh, according to Old Sir, it was your Advisor and Chief Zhang who conspired to bully our Fishing Guild brothers, right?”

Chen Jie looked at the Old Magistrate and asked with a smile, to which the Old Magistrate replied, ”Yes, yes, that’s exactly it, exactly it!”

Chen Jie laughed, ”Is that so? If so, why did you come here to admit guilt, Old Magistrate?”

”Lord Chen, though I wasn’t aware of these events, they are still my subordinates. I have the guilt of negligence, guilt of negligence!”

Hearing this, Chen Jie chuckled, ”Well, Old Sir certainly speaks frankly, but it’s just a matter of negligence, not worth such a fuss.”

”It is worth it, it is worth it. The affairs of the Fishing Guild heroes are no small matters; this old man feels it’s quite necessary.”

The Old Magistrate said, at which point Chen Jie said, ”Then how does the Old Magistrate think these two main culprits should be handled?”

The Old Magistrate said, ”Rest assured, Lord, that Advisor has already committed suicide out of guilt, and as for Chief Zhang, however you decide, so be it.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Someone, bring Chief Zhang here.”

”Yes.”

With an order, someone immediately brought Chief Zhang in. By now, Chief Zhang was no longer arrogant as he was at first, because he wasn’t blind. He looked up to see his most respected Lord Magistrate kneeling and admitting guilt.

His boss was already in such a state; he, a small fry, had no place to play around.

Thus, the once arrogant appearance was replaced by one of a humble manner.

Seeing Chief Zhang like this, Chen Jie glanced at him and said, ”You are Chief Zhang?”

”Yes, yes, I am Zhang San!”

Chief Zhang spoke up, and hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Your name sounds perfunctory.”

”Just now your Lord said you and your brother-in-law conspired against the Fishing Guild, and your Lord knew nothing about it. What do you think of that?”

”Ah? No, no, Lord, I, a small arrest officer, how could I make any decisions? All of this was ordered by the Lord; I’m just a small obedient pawn.”
