As early as last night, Chen Ping’an had sent someone to deliver Chu Qirong to the Nancheng Suppression Office.
With multiple injuries, a shattered breastbone leading to ruptured lungs, and no immediate treatment, Chu Qirong was effectively crippled.
To be fair, while Chu Qirong’s scheme was a bit crude, it was extremely difficult to break.
The reason he failed this time was that he hadn’t expected Chen Ping’an, as the head of Nancheng Prison, to be so diligent as to personally patrol during his night shift, thus observing the abnormal situation with the personnel.
To make the consequences of the prisoners’ escape more severe, Chu Qirong secretly adjusted the number of night shift Yamen Runners. Of course, everything was within a reasonable range, and even if there was an investigation afterward, he had plausible excuses.
Besides this point, the most crucial thing Chu Qirong didn’t know was Chen Ping’an’s true strength.
He had never imagined that his Qi and Blood Fifth Stage Perfection martial arts strength would be easily suppressed by Chen Ping’an.
In that battle, Chen Ping’an did not display his true strength, but even so, he easily defeated Chu Qirong.
On the way to the Nancheng Suppression Office, Chen Ping’an meticulously reviewed yesterday’s situation, identifying omissions and looking for any oversights.
By the time he arrived at the Nancheng Suppression Office, the expressions of the Yamen Runners guarding the gate were much more solemn than usual.
“Lord Chen.”
A Yamen Runner greeted him proactively.
“Hmm.”
Chen Ping’an nodded slightly and entered the gate of the Nancheng Suppression Office.
Not long after Chen Ping’an entered, the Yamen Runner at the gate curiously asked the Yamen Runner who had just greeted him.
“Is that Lord Chen from Nancheng Prison? He’s really so young!”
“Yes, among the chief officials of the Nancheng Suppression Office, Lord Chen should be the youngest!”
“To reach this position so young, he truly has means! How long has it been…” The Yamen Runner speaking looked around, and seeing no one, he said, “Lord Chu Qirong is crippled! They say it was a prison break, but who knows the actual situation? But judging from the outcome, Chu Qirong undoubtedly lost! He lost miserably!”
“Shush, quiet! Talking about this at the main gate! Do you want to die?!”
The Yamen Runner next to him whispered, scolding him.
“Hehehe… I just didn’t see anyone!”
Although he said that, this Yamen Runner didn’t dare to speak carelessly anymore. Although the topic wasn’t finished, the Yamen Runners all unconsciously gained a trace of awe for this Lord Chen of Nancheng Prison.
Capable people will be revered wherever they go.
The news about Chu Qirong had spread throughout the entire Nancheng Suppression Office early in the morning. Many people were extremely surprised by the outcome of this matter.
Those familiar with Chen Ping’an, like Shen Shikang and Liu Jinzhu, found it unbelievable after hearing the news.
This young Lord Chen’s methods were so ruthless!
Even Chu Qirong, who had been in an official position for decades, had his boat capsized?
…
Chen Ping’an walked to the building where Mu Wanjun was. As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw Fu Yuanming walking down from upstairs with a gloomy expression, clearly very angry.
“Lord Fu.”
Chen Ping’an’s expression was calm as he greeted Fu Yuanming.
As the Deputy Total Affairs Office of the Nancheng Suppression Office, his jailer, upon seeing him, still had to greet him.
This was called the etiquette within the system.
When Fu Yuanming saw that it was Chen Ping’an, his expression grew even gloomier.
“Lord Chen certainly has excellent methods!”
“Lord Fu overpraises Chen. Chen has no special methods, it’s all due to Lord Fu’s excellent leadership.”
Chen Ping’an looked at Fu Yuanming and said with a smile.
Fu Yuanming’s face was grim, and Chen Ping’an’s reaction made him feel even more resentful.
“So, it’s still my credit?”
“Naturally.”
Chen Ping’an said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Good, good, good!
Fu Yuanming laughed in extreme anger.
“Lord Chen is truly a pillar of my Nancheng Suppression Office! However, I must remind Lord Chen that there’s a long road ahead, and a temporary advantage doesn’t count for much. In the days to come, Lord Chen still needs to continue working hard and live up to expectations!”
As soon as Fu Yuanming finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, regardless of Chen Ping’an’s reaction.
Chen Ping’an looked at Fu Yuanming’s retreating figure and said loudly, “I will respectfully follow Lord Fu’s teachings. In the coming days, Chen will definitely work hard and hope to satisfy Lord Fu even more.”
Hmph!
Hearing Chen Ping’an’s words, Fu Yuanming was furious. But years of composure ultimately prevented him from turning back.
Some people always think they are amazing, bouncing around everywhere, but they don’t know that there are always people better than them, and Realms beyond Realms!
For true superiors, solving them is actually much simpler than they imagine!
Do you really think Wanjun can protect you forever!
Ridiculous!
Chen Ping’an…
This time, I’ve truly remembered you!
Regardless of what Fu Yuanming thought, Chen Ping’an’s heart was at ease.
Now, he wasn’t afraid of Fu Yuanming flipping the table. In terms of true strength, he was not afraid of Fu Yuanming at all.
And within the rules of the Zhenfu Division, he was also happy to wrestle with Fu Yuanming.
Chen Ping’an’s gaze had never been fixed on merely the position of a jailer.
His journey was toward the vast stars, the bright moon, and the great sun!
…
“Not bad!”
Mu Wanjun looked at Chen Ping’an, a satisfied expression appearing on her face.
“You truly didn’t disappoint me!”
“It’s all thanks to your excellent leadership, my Lord!”
Chen Ping’an offered a universally pleasing compliment.
Mu Wanjun rolled her eyes at Chen Ping’an, her beautiful eyes shimmering.
“Stop flattering me! Also, don’t use that routine you used on Fu Yuanming against me!”
Chen Ping’an paused.
So, Mu Wanjun had heard his conversation with Fu Yuanming just now.
“However, I still have to praise you; what you said just now was truly satisfying! Fu Yuanming’s face must have turned black, right?”
Having once again gained an absolute advantage in a confrontation, Mu Wanjun was in an excellent mood.
In her conversation with Chen Ping’an, her tone was filled with intimacy.
“Ping’an, you were able to suppress Chu Qirong. Have you already broken through to Qi Blood Sixth Stage?”
“To answer my Lord, that is correct. A few days ago, I had some insights and successfully achieved a Breakthrough!”
Chen Ping’an looked honest.
After confirming Chen Ping’an’s martial arts Realm and personally verifying it, Mu Wanjun’s beautiful eyes sparkled.
“Qi Blood Sixth Stage! Ping’an, you are even more dazzling than I imagined. In terms of martial Dao talent, you are definitely a top Genius!”
Chen Ping’an’s martial Dao progress astonished Mu Wanjun.
Even though she had repeatedly raised her estimation of Chen Ping’an, he still gave her a surprise today.
If this continues, let alone the Inner Qi Realm, Chen Ping’an even has a chance at the New Talent Rankings!
Such a Talent must be tied to the Family’s war chariot no matter what.
At this moment, Mu Wanjun made up her mind.
Today, she would personally return to her Family, explain the situation, and truly absorb such a martial Dao Genius into the Family.
