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

Chapter 1289: Chapter 300: Who Could Endure This?!

”You’re talking nonsense, old man. What right do you have to accuse me of targeting the Fishing Guild? The Fishing Guild belongs to Mr. Chen, and I would gladly welcome them. You and your brother-in-law are causing trouble, and I had no knowledge of it. Now you’re trying to drag me down with you, it’s outrageous and shameless!”

Hearing this, Chief Zhang was dumbfounded by the old prefect’s scolding. How did I become shameless for just following orders? Is there no justice in this world?

Thinking this, Chief Zhang looked at the old prefect and said, ”How dare you falsely accuse me like this.”

”You’re falsely accusing me? I wish I could see you cut to pieces. The dirty deeds you and your cursed brother-in-law have committed, and now you want me to bear the consequences? It’s utterly absurd. You both deserve to be cut to pieces to appease the Fishing Guild brothers’ anger.”

”Mr. Chen, I believe such villains shouldn’t be interrogated. They should be killed straight away.”

The old prefect pointed at Chief Zhang, looking at him as if he were a mortal enemy!

Chen Jie looked at the old prefect and said, ”Then kill him?”

”Kill him, he must be killed!”

The old prefect affirmed with conviction, and seeing this, Chief Zhang suddenly burst out in anger, ”You old bastard! My brother-in-law and I did all your dirty work, and now that things have gone wrong, you’re pinning all the blame on us. It’s shameless, you old rascal!”

”You’re at death’s door, don’t try dragging others down with you. When did I make you do dirty work? It’s pure nonsense. My Lord, this villain is vicious. Please, my Lord, kill him!”

The old prefect said through gritted teeth. Hearing his words, Chen Jie said, ”Kill him?”

”Kill him!”

The old prefect said through gritted teeth, and hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Then kill him!”

With that, Chen Jie ordered, ”Drag him out and kill him!”

On command, two members of the Fishing Guild came forward. Initially, these guild members seemed timid and easily bullied, but now, with Chen Jie around, they instantaneously transformed into fierce soldiers, with eyes filled with murderous intent.

Seeing this, everyone was amazed. It was as if a great change had occurred, astounding everyone.

As everyone thought, at this moment, Chief Zhang was dragged away.

”Ah, I’m innocent, it was that old bastard who ordered everything, it was all his doing...”

”Ah~”

A scream resounded, and the next moment, someone came in holding a severed head, saying, ”Gang Leader, the person has been killed.”

Chen Jie said, ”Bring the head over for the old man to verify.”

Upon hearing this, the guild member tossed the head in front of the old prefect. It rolled a few times on the ground before stopping at the old prefect’s feet.

Lying face-up, the eyes were still open, and they seemed to blink at the old prefect, as if saying, ”You treacherous old man, you’ve wronged me!”

”Ah~”

The old prefect jumped up at once, and Chen Jie pressed his shoulder, saying, ”My Lord, you need to look carefully to ensure this really is Chief Zhang and you haven’t got the wrong person.”

The old prefect said, ”It’s him, it’s him, there’s no mistake.”

Chen Jie smiled slightly and said, ”Old man, now that the person’s dead, can you finally be at peace?”

The old prefect said, ”At peace, at peace~”

Chen Jie smiled, ”I can let you be at peace.” Then he turned to Hu Weiyong, who immediately understood, stepped forward, and clasped his fists, saying, ”Gang Leader.”

Chen Jie looked at Hu Weiyong and said, ”Oh, Old Hu, what’s the matter?”

Hu Weiyong clasped his fists and said, ”Gang Leader, I think there’s something more to this matter. The ones persecuting our Fishing Guild brothers might not just be the Advisor and Chief Zhang, there might be others involved.”

Chen Jie glanced at Hu Weiyong and said, ”There are others?”

”There are others.”

Chen Jie said, ”Then who might they be?”

Turning his head, Chen Jie looked at the old prefect and asked, ”My Lord, who do you think they might be?”

The old prefect was bewildered and said, ”Who else could it be? Who else, I don’t know!”

Chen Jie said, ”Old Hu, enlighten Lord Magistrate, let’s see who it really might be.”

Hu Weiyong said, ”Yes.”

Following that, Hu Weiyong looked at the old man and Chen Jie, saying, ”Gang Leader, My Lord, we’ve overlooked one issue: on whose backing did these two dare oppose our Fishing Guild? You must know that our Fishing Guild has several Wolf Smoke Realm experts. It seems unlikely that just a subpar martial artist and an Advisor in the Holding Core Realm would dare to fight against us. It’s truly unbelievable.”

”Therefore, I believe there’s definitely someone orchestrating this from behind, someone backing them.”

Chen Jie furrowed his brows and said, ”Oh, who could it be?”

Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the old prefect and said, ”Lord Prefect, what do you think of my think tank’s analysis?”

Hearing this, the old prefect said, ”This strategist makes sense, makes sense.”

”Then who could be the person behind this? If I catch them, I’ll surely flay them alive for my own satisfaction.”

Saying this, Chen Jie eyed the old prefect up and down, like a fierce tiger eyeing its prey, and said, ”I say, could that person be you, old prefect?”

”Ah, it’s not me, it’s not me!”

The old prefect immediately denied it. Only now did he realize how terrifying Chen Jiusi was—appearing merely twenty years old, yet his methods were extremely fierce.

Moreover, there was an overwhelming abyss feeling around him, more dreadful than death itself.

This was, in fact, Chen Jie unleashing his Gang Qi, using Dragon Realm’s Gang Qi to suppress a mere Wolf Smoke Realm martial artist whose vitality was declining, wasn’t that an easy task?
