Chapter 28: Different Identities

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Uncle Law Enforcer, I guarantee that I didn’t abduct any children, nor did I bully the neighbor’s little sister. Tonight, I went out for a walk and was suddenly beaten by an evil man. When I woke up, I was already lying in a straw hut in the suburbs. I almost lost my virginity…”

Although the young man was in the law enforcement bureau, he still had lingering fears.

The law enforcer opposite him looked at the handsome young man and his eyes flickered. “Are you sure it was a man who wanted to do something bad to you?”

“Yes, it was an evil man. I’m 100% sure.” The young man nodded heavily. “Later, a hero saved me. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to see the sun in the day.”

As he spoke, Zhou Xuan carried two heads and walked into the law enforcement bureau.

“It’s him, it’s him, it’s him!” The young man pointed at Zhou Xuan and was somewhat excited. “It’s this hero who saved me.”

The current Zhou Xuan was not his real appearance. Instead, he had transformed into a different person through the Divine Dragon Thousand Transformations. He was about 30 years old and was a young man.

He waited in the straw hut for a while longer to see if there were any other killers coming, but there were none. Therefore, he was a step slower than the young man.

He threw Qi Hai’s head over. “I’m here to collect the reward.”

The law enforcer opposite him was called Chu Chen. He was about 40 years old and was also the person who dealt with Song Fan’s attack that night.

He was currently in charge of Qi Hai’s wanted case, and he was the one who had issued the bounty.

Therefore, he recognized Qi Hai’s head at a glance.

“It’s really him!” Chu Chen could not help but stand up.

Qi Hai had been committing crimes against foreign enemies previously. In the past two days, he had fled to the Demon Subduing City. He had only come out tonight to commit crimes, but he had fallen into Zhou Xuan’s hands.

“That’s him.” Zhou Xuan nodded. “I saw the bounty you issued. This guy is worth five thousand dollars.”

Chu Chen also nodded and answered affirmatively, “Yes.”

“His death won’t affect the bounty, right?” Zhou Xuan asked.

“That won’t affect him,” Chu Chen said. “Even if he dies, he’s still worth 5,000 yuan.”

He was glad that Qi Hai had died. Otherwise, he would have been under a lot of pressure to guard against Qi Hai’s crimes.

“That’s good.” Zhou Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, he threw the other head over. “There’s another one. He seems to be an assassin from the Ghost Group.”

After Chu Chen took a closer look, his eyes narrowed. “As expected, it’s an assassin from Ghost Group.”

As a law enforcer, he naturally had research on the terrifying organization of the Ghost Group.

It was difficult for him to find the top figures of Ghost Group, but he could still find some ordinary killers.

He had hundreds of gigabytes of information about the Ghost Group’s assassins in his mind.

Just by looking at this head, he was certain that the other party was an assassin from Ghost Group.

“Does this assassin have a bounty?” Zhou Xuan asked.

“Yes.” Chu Chen nodded affirmatively. “He’s a yellow-level assassin from Ghost Group. His code name is Running Wolf. Last month, a bounty of 10,000 yuan was put up for him.”

“It’s even more valuable than Qi Hai. That’s great.” Zhou Xuan was more or less excited.

The two bounties added up to 15,000 yuan, enough for him to spend for a while.

He wanted to leave as soon as possible after receiving the reward.

However, Chu Chen did not intend to let him go so easily.

Chu Chen requested for Zhou Xuan’s statement, and it had to be detailed.

Zhou Xuan had no choice but to do as he was asked. He did not hide anything and told him about Qi Hai’s plan to join Ghost Group.

Chu Chen frowned and said, “We just destroyed a stronghold of the Ghost Group last month and captured a few killers. I didn’t expect them to not give up and want to develop in Demon Subduing City. This Running Wolf is a fish that escaped the net last month.”

He wanted to wipe out the Ghost Group in one fell swoop, but they did not have the ability to do so. They could only destroy the strongholds one by one.

Moreover, the identities of those assassins were very secretive and hidden very deeply.

They could be Old Wang from next door, or they could be sewer workers. They could be beautiful seniors, or even office ladies who liked to wear stockings.

Last month, one of Ghost Group’s strongholds was destroyed, causing considerable losses.

Therefore, this month, they were developing new members with all their might.

Wanted criminals like Qi Hai, who had committed many evil deeds, were often their goal.

Zhou Xuan asked, “Are there any other assassins on the bounty list?”

“Of course there is,” Chu Chen said. “The ones we found and couldn’t catch are basically all issued with bounties ranging from 5,000 to hundreds of thousands.”

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he was slightly excited. Killing those assassins and earning the bounty was a shortcut to earn money.

Chu Chen continued, “We found a few of their higher-ups. The bounty is even as high as a million yuan.”

Zhou Xuan was self-aware and was not interested in those higher-ups.

The large bounty meant that the higher-ups were powerful. He did not want to take the initiative to give up his life.

Killing some Gold realm assassins was more like it.

Under the premise of ensuring his own safety, earning money was the right way.

“Can you let me see the information of those assassins who have a bounty on their heads?” He looked at Chu Chen.

Actually, Chu Chen had seen Zhou Xuan the night Song Fan was assassinated.

However, he could not recognize that the young man who had changed his appearance was Zhou Xuan.

“Of course.” He nodded.

Since the bounty had been issued, there was naturally nothing he could not read.

Zhou Xuan looked at the bounty posters and felt a faint excitement in his heart.

The bounty of more than ten assassins added up to more than 200,000 yuan.

Other than the identity of the killer on the bounty, there were other identities to cover up.

Some were sewer workers, while others were experienced drivers who had been working for decades.

“They’re really hiding their strength.” Zhou Xuan sighed.

“Of course.” Chu Chen nodded. “They are quite cunning and are very good at hiding their identities. Otherwise, we would have arrested them long ago.”

Then, he said, “You’ve seen the bounty, and you’ve memorized the faces of some of the killers. If you see them in the future, remember to contact me immediately.”

“Alright.” Zhou Xuan nodded.

Then, he asked, “If they die, it won’t affect the bounty, right?”

Opposite him, Chu Chen looked deeply at Zhou Xuan and said, “It won’t affect it.”

“That’s good.” With that, Zhou Xuan left with the bounty.

Suddenly, the young man ran over. “Hero, you’re amazing. Take me as your disciple.”

“No.” Zhou Xuan directly refused.

Please, he was only 16 years old, only two years older than that youth.

After the young man was rejected, he was a little depressed. “I’m very diligent in my cultivation.”

However, what answered him was only Zhou Xuan’s back.

Chu Chen looked at the departing Zhou Xuan and frowned. “He clearly only has the aura of a Silver realm cultivator. How did he kill Qi Hai and Running Wolf, two Gold realm cultivators?”
