Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Even if he executed them all, it would only be making them pay for their lives. Everyone knew that he was the director's confidant, originally a street thug without any official position, who suddenly became the deputy captain of the action team. If you don't have any lives on your hands, I can give you a good opportunity: to go outside the city and fight for 30 days like them.
While Liu Ning was speaking, he was also observing the people in the room. The reason he did this was to set an example for them, to make them understand that as long as they cooperated with him, there would be no other issues between them. But if they didn't cooperate, then this matter would not be resolved. As long as they could provide their superiors, he would give them a chance. This matter had caused a huge uproar. Even if he executed them all, no one outside would say a word. Don't think that he was being cruel to them now. Because of their mistakes, countless people had died tragically because of this matter. Even if he executed them all, it would only be making them pay for their lives. It wasn't excessive.
These men immediately knelt down and kowtowed. This was much better than being shot, so everyone had no more reservations. They all pointed to Deputy Captain Wang beside them, confirming that he was the deputy captain of the action team, with about 800 men under his command. He was considered a mid-level leader. Everyone knew that he was the director's confidant, originally a street thug without any official position, who suddenly became the deputy captain of the action team. His rise was too fast. Everyone had made many speculations in private, but none of them had been confirmed. When Deputy Captain Wang saw Liu Ning looking at him, he felt a chill run down his spine. These guys were really useless. How could they betray us so easily? So we would definitely keep our mouths shut and wouldn't tell them anything.
"Deputy Captain Wang, it seems you are their superior. You must have been the one to inform them about this. If I'm not mistaken, many people in this group management office have taken their dirty money, but you must be a crucial link. Otherwise, they wouldn't be accusing you. I only have one thought for you now: to tell them everything you know. If you don't have any lives on your hands, I can give you a good opportunity: to go outside the city and fight for 30 days like them. If you don't want that opportunity, then I have other ways to deal with you. Besides taking your own life, your family won't be able to live a good life either. I will send them to the outside city to do forced labor. Don't think what I'm doing is bad; what you're doing is even worse."
After Liu Ning finished speaking, the men present felt a chill run down their spines. As the saying goes, one should not bring misfortune upon one's family. Liu Ning's actions had gone too far. In fact, Liu Ning had considered this carefully. The rules of the martial arts world are rules, but what you did has crossed the line, so there's nothing more to say. You broke the rules first. Although you haven't committed any crimes at home, were those people looking for work guilty? When their families reported the crime, if you had investigated properly, you would have definitely found some clues. Even if you couldn't rescue their families, it would have put enormous pressure on the martial arts school, making them less reckless. Punishing your families now is justified; everyone's family has a life.
The deputy captain, Wang, looked extremely grim. He had been in this place for quite some time and was well aware of an unspoken rule: if he implicated those people, even if he managed to hold out outside the city for 30 days, he would have no way to survive afterward. In the end, everyone would be exposed, and his family would suffer even more. Simply throwing a few hundred thousand yuan at some gang members would be enough for them to kill his entire family. But if he took the blame, the matter might end there. It didn't matter if he sacrificed his life for them; those people would definitely take care of his family, at least they wouldn't be sent to the wilderness. This guy was also struggling internally, unsure of what the final outcome would be.
“Councilor Liu, everything you said is true. I can also tell you the truth. I have no one above me except that director. He is the one who tells me everything. We have no one above us either. Every month, the Fusang Martial Arts School sends us money, and we do things for them. We are too greedy. So you don’t need to investigate anyone else. Let’s leave it at that.”
After a fierce internal struggle, this guy took all the blame. Liu Ning and Zhu Tianhua exchanged a glance; this kid was really tough. Even knowing the consequences, he wasn't afraid at all. He was definitely not a simple person. However, people in this world aren't fools. It was obvious he didn't have that kind of ability. Even including the police chief, the two of them were just small fry. If the two of them could protect such a large criminal organization, that would be truly unbelievable. Saying this was testing their intelligence; were they as intelligent as children?
Hearing this guy say that, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief. Actually, they were hoping that someone tough would step forward and take full responsibility for the matter, so that the rest of the people wouldn't have to be investigated one by one. If everyone were investigated, 95% of the people in this room wouldn't be able to leave. They had all taken bribes from the Fusang Martial Arts School, but Liu Ning wasn't targeting them now. The reason they had been able to live so well all these years was purely because of the bribes from the Fusang Martial Arts School. Even an insignificant position could earn 3,000 yuan a month. So, the biggest regret for them was that the Fusang Martial Arts School had an accident. As for the lives of ordinary people, they didn't care at all. They had no remorse for exchanging those people's lives for some money.
"Since that's the case, then send you and your family to the wilderness. Pass down the order: no one is allowed to bring them back without my permission. The six of you will personally carry out this task, accompanying them to the wilderness and registering them at the city gate. If anyone dares to let them in, I will pursue them to the bitter end, no matter who they are. Hand this matter over to the television station and have them publicize it for three days. I want to see if anyone dares to save your family..."
