Chapter 56

Enforcement Building.

When Li Hao and Wang Ming returned to the Night Patrol's base, they quickly went to Liu Long's office to report on the day's progress.

...

In the office.

Liu Long frowned, leaning back in his chair, lost in thought.

Hearing the commotion, he shouted, "Come in!"

The two pushed the door open and entered.

Liu Long seemed distracted, glanced at them, and said gloomily, "Done running your rounds?"

Wang Ming quickly replied, "We've only covered half the martial arts schools. We visited Yincheng Ancient Academy, Galaxy Group, and Qiao Family Mining. There are a few more to go, but it's too late today. We plan to finish tomorrow."

Liu Long nodded slightly.

He then asked, "Any unregistered superhumans?"

Superhumans and martial artists are not all unregistered; Liu Long actually had a list provided by the Inspection Bureau.

This time, the main focus was on registering those not on this list.

"Yes!"

Li Hao said, "Today, we registered a few more martial artists and superhumans, but their strength is average, just at the Tenth Rank and Starlight levels."

As for the superhuman at Galaxy Group who broke the hundred barrier, he was already recorded.

This doesn't count as an unregistered superhuman.

And at Qiao Family Mining, only three Starlight-level individuals were registered, no more. Without any Moon Shadow or Lunar Eclipse-level individuals, it's not worth mentioning. Liu Long will naturally check the records later.

"Hmph!"

Liu Long snorted, "I don't believe that with the development of superhumans and the increase in Moon Shadow-level individuals, none of the families have even one Moon Shadow?"

This isn't ten years ago!

Or even three years ago, when Moon Shadows were rare. But in the past three years, after the outbreak of the great war, the development of superhumans has been rapid.

Moon Shadow-level superhumans are now quite common.

Yincheng may be small, but the major groups are not short of money. These days, even superhumans sometimes have to work for money.

The major groups, not even one Moon Shadow-level individual?

Who are they fooling!

"Do you still think it's the same as before?"

Liu Long's face was cold. He was a proud and arrogant person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been dissatisfied when he first met Li Hao, who bypassed the enforcement team and directly contacted Yuan Shuo to notify the enforcement team.

In Liu Long's eyes, the authority of the Inspection Bureau must be maintained.

But these people clearly didn't give him any face.

The branch was established, and they didn't even want to register, just fooling around!

Wang Ming was more tolerant, or rather, he had seen more in Baiyue City. He comforted, "Minister, it's normal! Even in Baiyue City, such deception often happens. As long as they don't cause trouble... I think it's acceptable."

Liu Long said coldly, "So the Night Patrol in Baiyue City has no authority in the entire Yinyue Province! Otherwise, who would dare to act so recklessly?"

Wang Ming was embarrassed.

There were some things he couldn't say.

Moreover, the Night Patrol had its difficulties. As a young man, he also felt frustrated. With Liu Long's words, he could only remain silent.

"Boss!"

Li Hao interjected, "It's inevitable. I heard that the Night Patrol in the central region is under pressure. We are in a peripheral province, so we need to be low-key. Normally, if something happens, no one will back us up... I think the higher-ups have considered this."

"Li Hao!"

Liu Long was surprised!

You, after becoming an official, how can you speak the same tone as the higher-ups?

It wasn't like this before!

Before, when talking about the Night Patrol, everyone was very dissatisfied, thinking the Night Patrol was ineffective and didn't help much when Yincheng had problems.

Good guy, you got a promotion, and you betrayed us?

On the side, Wang Ming was somewhat disdainful.

This guy is really good at changing with the wind.

Shameless!

But Li Hao smiled, "Boss, you forgot, we are the Night Patrol!"

Cursing the Night Patrol is cursing ourselves.

"Boss, once we are part of the Night Patrol, maintaining the dignity of the Night Patrol is maintaining our own dignity. Constantly cursing is self-denial. If so, why establish a Night Patrol branch?"

Liu Long was stunned, not quite getting it.

He was used to his old life.

He really wasn't adapting to the current changes. Li Hao was right; we are already part of the Night Patrol.

Continuously criticizing the Night Patrol is actually criticizing ourselves.

Without a sense of honor, unable to integrate into the Night Patrol system, how can we make the Night Patrol stand tall and gain respect and fear from others?

"Yes... we are the Night Patrol now!"

Liu Long sighed, somewhat dispirited, waved his hand, and prepared to dismiss them.

Wang Ming was not polite, turned around, and left.

Seeing Li Hao didn't move, he was a bit surprised, turned to look at Li Hao, who smiled and whispered, "I have something else to report."

He then winked.

Wang Ming understood!

The tenth person!

It seems Li Hao is going to report the tenth person's matter alone. This can't be involved, so he decided not to ask, to avoid betraying Li Hao.

He quickly left without asking, very cooperative.

...

After Wang Ming left.

Liu Long frowned, "Anything else?"

"Boss, we discovered some hidden strong individuals."

Liu Long was surprised, "You discovered them?"

"No, Wang Ming and I discovered them together. He has some special abilities..."

Liu Long looked at him suspiciously, really or not?

Wouldn't they report it themselves?

"Wang Ming doesn't want to say. He's very proud, thinking he's from Baiyue City and doesn't want to deal with a mud-foot like you!"

"..."

Liu Long was again suspicious, said in a low voice, "You didn't make it up, did you?"

Li Hao, this guy, sometimes feels like he's full of bad intentions, not a good person, sometimes seems honest and reliable, very complex, very strange.

Li Hao grinned, didn't say more.

Liu Long cursed inwardly!

Definitely this guy made it up.

"Speak."

"Boss, let me ask first, if there are bases of the three major organizations, Yanluo, Red Moon, and Red Moon, should we eliminate them?"

"Of course!"

Liu Long said coldly, "The three major organizations, not all are bad... but those still in Yincheng are 100% bad! Punishing evil and eliminating wrongdoers, have you forgotten our demon-hunting mission?"

Li Hao actually questioned this!

"Protect justice!"

Li Hao nodded, with a serious face, "Promote justice, maintain peace, eliminate demons, the demon-hunting spirit never fades!"

Liu Long was relieved, said calmly, "Speak, did you discover the movements of the three major organizations?"

"Yes."

Li Hao nodded, "Yanluo branch!"

"Not Red Moon?"

"No, Yanluo branch, as Sister Liu said, Qiao Family."

Liu Long's eyes flickered, didn't say anything.

When Li Hao mentioned Qiao Family, he guessed it had something to do with Liu Yan, as he knew Liu Yan's situation, frowned slightly, "Are you sure? Liu Yan had such suspicions before, and I also suspected, but there's no evidence. You must know, we are the righteous, but... it doesn't mean we can execute without evidence!"

He still had a sense of justice.

Killing requires some basic evidence and logic. Without any evidence, it can't be done recklessly. If so, what's the difference from those who kill innocents?

So even though Liu Yan had mentioned it before, he secretly investigated but found nothing, and eventually gave up.

He even sneaked into the Qiao family at night, standing quietly by the old man, observing him for several days. Only after confirming there was no problem did he give up the investigation of the Qiao family.

The death of Liu Yan's husband could only be attributed to an accident. Of course, the murderer was still on the wanted list.

Li Hao smiled, "No need for any evidence, just one point, Qiao Feilong is a strong individual, and he has hidden a few strong individuals. Is this enough?"

"Are you kidding?"

Liu Long laughed, "Tenth Rank... no, a Tenth Rank who hasn't practiced for over ten years is still considered strong? If you say so, I can't argue. I know Qiao Feilong too well!"

"Boss, you know him?"

"Of course!"

Liu Long smiled, "Let me put it this way, I've seen every part of his body!"

"..."

Li Hao was shocked!

You... you actually...

He was stunned, should I not say it?

"I once watched him in the dark, right by his bed, for several days..."

"Boss!"

At this moment, Li Hao understood, with a shocked face, "You're still alive, that's great!"

My God.

You tracked a Three Yang, watched him for several days, and didn't die... Qiao Feilong must have been tough to hide, allowing you to watch him.

Otherwise, he would have killed you with one slap.

You, a Hundred Breaker, watching him every day, even when he urinated... you're really strange.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Long frowned, "You say he's hiding his strength? Impossible!"

He wasn't stupid, understanding the implication, "He has no superhuman fluctuations. As for the martial artist level, although it's hard to see through, from skin toughness and luster, one can still discern something. Although not specific, it can still be judged."

He believed he wouldn't be wrong.

Li Hao said solemnly, "Three Yang!"

"..."

Liu Long was stunned, staring at Li Hao, and after a while, said in a daze, "What?"

"Three Yang!"

"Oh..."

Liu Long was dazed for a moment, then came to his senses.

He stood up, somewhat dazed, and after a long time, looked at Li Hao, hesitating to speak.

"My teacher confirmed it!"

Li Hao knew what answer he wanted and quickly provided it.

With Yuan Shuo's backing, Liu Long instantly understood it was true.

He could doubt Li Hao, but he had no reason to doubt Yuan Shuo. If Yuan Shuo said it, it must be true.

Three Yang!

He was dazed,
