"That's what you said. If you deny it later, don't blame your father for being heartless."

"Father, does that mean it's settled?" A glint appeared in Bei Le's eyes, followed by a look of joy.

Bei Haisheng lightly waved his folding fan:

"The betrothal gifts will be sent in a few days. With your father here, there won't be any accidents."

"I won't cause any more trouble once I marry her," Bei Le chuckled and ran off quickly.

Since that woman is so formidable, she'll surely keep him in line for a while after the marriage. He needs to make the most of this time to have some fun.

Or else he won't have the chance anymore.

A look of relief flashed across Bei Haisheng's face.

The young lady of the Shen family has a good reputation and acts decisively. She should be able to keep this troublesome son in check, which is like finding him a good home!

He's not getting any younger, and his biggest concern is this good-for-nothing son.

If anything were to happen to him, this only son would definitely not have a good ending.

And Shen Yanshu...

It's said that her cultivation talent is passable. With his full support, advancing to the Qi Gathering Realm in the future shouldn't be too difficult!

It would also leave a glimmer of hope for the Bei family.

......

......

Noon.

Inside the Sky Patrol Division's office.

Chen Yuan cultivated all night after returning home last night, acting as if nothing had happened. But as soon as he entered the Sky Patrol Division the next day, he summoned Yue Shan and ordered him to keep a close eye on Bei Haisheng's only son, Bei Le.

As for him, he carefully studied the intelligence on Bei Haisheng.

The reason he dared to take action was because the Changle Gang's influence had waned significantly in recent years, and they were no longer able to fully control the western and southern parts of the city. As for Bei Haisheng,

it's said that although his realm is at the Celestial Fiend level, his strength is only considered mediocre.

He's more of a strategist.

He's only slightly stronger than a Qi Condensation martial artist. With Chen Yuan's current strength, although it would be difficult to defeat him, he certainly wouldn't lose badly. And with the Blood Fiend Saber for protection,

as long as he gets close and catches him off guard, Chen Yuan is confident he can take his life.

If he obtains the Phoenix Marrow Qi afterward....

Chen Yuan's strength might also increase greatly!

When that happens...

It's hard to say who will be giving whom trouble.

"Sir!"

Yue Shan walked into the hall and immediately saw Chen Yuan sitting at the head of the table. He cupped his fist with a smile. In private, their mutual titles were much more casual.

It was a little more equal.

Of course, Yue Shan was still very respectful in public, even though Chen Yuan had never mentioned anything about it. Yue Shan understood.

"Yes, sit."

Chen Yuan gestured to a chair beside him.

Yue Shan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, looking at Chen Yuan and saying:

"I've almost finished investigating what you asked me to, sir."

"So quickly?"

Chen Yuan asked with some surprise.

Yue Shan really is a good subordinate. He's never made a mistake in the things he's been asked to do.

Yue Shan smiled: "If you had asked me to investigate someone else, it would have taken several days to get a clear picture. But this Bei Le..." He sneered:

"With this kind of playboy and scourge of society, there's no need for careful investigation. You only need to ask around to know where he is."

Although he couldn't be considered righteous, he definitely couldn't stand this kind of scum who bullies men and women, causing trouble for the people and committing all sorts of evils. If he had the chance, he would have killed this kid long ago.

He had hoped that Inspector Zhang Xuan would cripple this guy, but Bei Le is also quite clever. He seems to have heard that Zhang Xuan is not to be trifled with, so he immediately stops his misdeeds as soon as Zhang Xuan's name is mentioned.

But once, they accidentally ran into each other, and Bei Le respectfully offered Zhang Xuan a drink, but Zhang Xuan splashed it in his face. They thought he would be furious,

and Yue Shan and Yan Qing had already thought about how to deal with him.

Unexpectedly, Bei Le immediately said:

"Thank you, Inspector Zhang, for the wine."

Then he walked out the door with a big laugh, completely ignoring Zhang Xuan's contemptuous gaze.

During that time, Yue Shan thought that Bei Le was a guy who knew how to assess the situation and wasn't so reckless. But they later learned that after Zhang Xuan's name spread,

Bei Haisheng had sternly warned Bei Le not to provoke Zhang Xuan.

In addition to Zhang Xuan, some prominent figures in Nanling Prefecture were also listed by Bei Haisheng as people not to be provoked.

After being taught a lesson, Bei Le remembered this sentence well.

He doesn't provoke any ruthless people in Nanling Prefecture, and lives his dissolute life honestly, which is how he has survived to this day.

It was Bei Haisheng's guidance that allowed Bei Le to be so arrogant to this day.

Otherwise, whose son would be able to get away with it.

Chen Yuan chuckled to himself. This Bei Le really is hated by both gods and men.

"Where is he now?"

"Tingyu Pavilion in the west of the city. According to the information I've gathered, this dog is even abducting a decent woman and forcing her husband to watch. He's simply asking for death!"

Yue Shan couldn't contain his anger when he mentioned it.

Four people doing that in front of the husband, disgusting!

"Let's go, this official will go and uphold justice!"

Chen Yuan curled his lips and slowly stood up.

"Sir, are you going to?" Yue Shan was shocked and immediately stood up, understanding the meaning of Chen Yuan's words. He had suspected it when Chen Yuan asked him to investigate Bei Le,

and now...

"Sir, Bei Le is Bei Haisheng's only son. If we take action against him..." Yue Shan hesitated. Bei Haisheng of the Changle Gang is not an easy person to deal with.

Even Zhang Xuan wouldn't touch him without a grudge.

"Who said we're going to take action against him? This official suspects that the woman is possibly related to the Unborn Church demons and is going to investigate the truth." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

The mission to target the Unborn Church demons in the Sky Patrol Division hasn't been withdrawn yet.

Every Sky Patroller has an obligation to investigate!

......

......

Tingyu Pavilion has a great reputation in Nanling Prefecture, especially in the west of the city. The girls inside are sweet-talking and beautiful, very different from the prostitutes in the lower county towns.

Each of them is carefully trained. Even if they're not proficient in all the arts of qin (a stringed instrument), chess, calligraphy, and painting, they still have some knowledge of them.

It is also Bei Le's favorite place to go on weekdays.

He doesn't lack money. He can enjoy supreme service in Tingyu Pavilion, and the madam of Tingyu Pavilion doesn't dare to offend this Master Bei.

At this moment, he was holding a sobbing young lady in his arms and groping her, with an evil smile on his face, very presumptuous. But the people around him didn't feel anything wrong.

About two or three zhang (1 zhang = 3.3 meters) away from them, a simply dressed young man was being held by several Changle Gang members, unable to move at all. His veins were popping out on his forehead,

and his eyes were burning with anger. Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

He could only watch this scene with regret. He shouldn't have brought his wife out to sell melons, or he wouldn't have met this devil.

On the high platform, the girls of Tingyu Pavilion danced with their hair flying, wearing very revealing clothes, and occasionally winking at the men in the hall below.

"Good job, you deserve a reward!"

Bei Le shouted loudly, and the servant next to him immediately took out a piece of silver and threw it up.

This is Master Bei's habit. As long as he sees something beautiful, he will throw silver.

"Old Bei, are you really going to marry Shen Yanshu?"

Several other men in fancy clothes at the same table looked at Bei Le curiously.

In their impression, Bei Le didn't seem like the type to enjoy marriage.

"Yes, I heard that the Shen family's daughter is not a simple person and acts decisively."

"Will you still be able to come out and play with us in the future?"

Bei Le turned his head and chuckled:

"I'm tired of playing with the obedient ones. I want to experience what it's like to play with someone who has thorns."

"Besides, the Shen family's daughter is really beautiful. It's worth being scolded by such a wife."

"Did Shen Yanshu submit?"

The others asked with great concern.

"With my father here, can a small Shen family cause any trouble? It's an honor for their Shen family to marry me," Bei Le curled his lips.

The others exchanged glances, thinking that this was indeed the case.

Bei Haisheng's power is not comparable to a small Shen family. If you want to survive in the west of the city, the last people you should provoke are the Changle Gang, especially those in power.

It's only natural that Shen Kaishan would submit.

"You guys too, don't just think about playing all day. You should do something serious," Bei Le said with a serious face, but the actions of his hands betrayed him.

The four of them are the four biggest wastrels in Nanling Prefecture, with extraordinary backgrounds. They got together because they had similar interests. Now that they heard Bei Le say this, they all curled their lips and expressed their disdain.

Each of them knows the others very well!

"Wuwu... villains, beasts!"

"Wuwu..."

The young man who was being held managed to break free from some of his restraints and cursed, but he was quickly gagged with a towel by the people beside him.

Bei Le raised his eyebrows. The more it was like this, the more excited he became.

Then he stood up, put his arm around the delicate woman beside him, walked up to the young man, gently patted his face, and chuckled:

"Don't slander me, this young master. I clearly bought your melon, and you are grateful, so you used your wife to please me."

"Little lady, is that right?"

He turned his head, raised the woman's chin, and smiled.

The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she didn't dare to say anything. She had just been threatened. If she dared to resist, her husband would be thrown into the Yun River tonight.

"Hahaha."

Bei Le laughed a few times and stuffed five taels of silver into the man's body:

"I'll buy all your melons, so you don't have to sell them in the wind and sun. No need to thank me."

Saying that, he ordered the servants next to him to carry all the melons at the entrance of Tingyu Pavilion into the hall and said loudly:

"Everyone, this young master is treating you to melons."

One by one, the big watermelons were distributed to everyone.

"Thank you, Master Bei."

"Master Bei is benevolent."

In the hall, sounds of thanks were endless.

Seeing that everyone had started eating the melons, Bei Le took the biggest one, put it on the table, and smiled:

"Everyone, please."

Saying that, he was about to draw his knife and start cutting, but he was soon stunned in place, because the entire hall suddenly became silent. He turned his head and saw several men in blue robes walking towards him.

With a "snap", the watermelon on the table was split in half by the leader.

Bei Le was stunned for a moment, then became furious and said:

"You motherfucker, you're splitting my melon, are you!"
