This Martial Saint’s Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 106: Chapter 96: The Sound of Drums and Bugles Chills the Air, Who Dares to Draw the Sword_2

The Green-faced Ghost that was captured was an impostor, and the claims made by Jiang Mingsen, who said he had colluded with the Tiger Saber Gang’s Master, Zhang Mingze, were naturally proved false.

Without a key witness, the Inspection Bureau could not determine that Zhang Mingze had secretly hired assassins to murder the Court of Judicial Review’s Feng Zhenshan.

“Unless the real Green-faced Ghost is caught by us, and then he can point out Zhang Mingze,”

Cheng Bi stated.

“Hmph,”

Gu Zhenhui snorted coldly.

Mentioning the name “Green-faced Ghost” now infuriated him!

The opponent had killed recklessly, disrupting many of his arrangements.

“How’s the large-scale search operation going?”

Gu Zhenhui inquired.

“Currently, no suspicious points have been discovered.”

Cheng Bi replied.

The second joint large-scale search operation by the three bureaus officially began early this morning.

This time, they were no longer halting early but were searching all areas of the entire city, including the residences of many officials and nobles!

The Chief’s faction and the Tiger Saber Gang’s faction joining forces for the first time displayed an absolutely overwhelming power, at least in Xing City.

No one could stop it, nor dare to!

As long as the Green-faced Ghost was still in the city, the probability of being discovered would be very high.

“After catching this lunatic, I want him to be dismembered alive!”

Gu Zhenhui declared coldly.

His secretary and Cheng Bi both bowed their heads, not daring to speak.

…

On September 10, in the prison cells of the Inspection Bureau,

Zhang Mingze washed his face, groomed, put on makeup, and changed clothes with the help of a maid.

Today was the day of his release. He deliberately dressed up nicely, wanting to look vigorous.

The Inspection Bureau couldn’t convict him, so the “suspect” status he held at the Inspection Bureau was swiftly erased.

After recuperating from injuries in bed for over ten days, he could now barely walk, so he planned to leave the Inspection Bureau with great fanfare!

“Master, as per your instructions, everything has been arranged.”

The Tiger Saber Gang martial master, Yang Xuan, approached Zhang Mingze and quietly spoke.

“Yes.”

Zhang Mingze moved to a mirror that had been specially brought in, checked his appearance, and adjusted the hair on his head, casually asking:

“What about Gu Zhenhui’s people?”

“They’ve also been communicated with in advance, and they are still very cooperative,”

Yang Xuan said.

Zhang Mingze smiled, “Gu Zhenhui must be desperate to slice the Green-faced Ghost into a thousand pieces by now, of course, he would cooperate.”

“Master, will the Green-faced Ghost really come today?”

Yang Xuan asked, “Knowing it’s a trap, he would still walk into it?”

Zhang Mingze turned to look at him, smiling:

“I don’t know either, but I look forward to it.”

Having said that, he walked out of the prison cell with the help of those around him.

Outside the gate of the Inspection Bureau, many people had already gathered; dozens of robust men dressed in black long robes, black trousers, and black cloth shoes stood in two rows outside the gate.

These men all belonged to the Tiger Saber Gang.

Additionally, a convoy was parked on the road, each car costing above 5000 yuan, one of them even a “Qilin” brand car.

This was a bulletproof car with special modifications, its interior lined with exotic beast tissues!

Like armor wrapped around the inside of the car, bulletproof cars branded “Qilin,” often priceless, were only available to real bigshots.

In Xing City, only the Chief, Gu Zhenhui, had been assigned a “Qilin,” but he certainly wouldn’t send out his personal car to pick up the Tiger Saber Gang’s Master.

Thus, this brand new “Qilin” parked on the roadside was from the Tiger Saber Gang!

The solemn expression of the black-clad robust men, the luxurious convoy, and the rarely seen “Qilin” made many uninformed citizens think that this was a reception for some extremely important person, so they stood nearby to watch the excitement.

All these arrangements today were instructed by Zhang Mingze and organized by Yu Hu, the purpose being to make a powerful impact.

The Green-faced Ghost had first severely injured Zhang Mingze, then killed several officials from the Tiger Saber Gang faction and even frightened several officials into voluntarily confessing, which was a huge blow to the gang’s reputation!

It was unavoidable that this would make people feel that the Tiger Saber Gang couldn’t even handle one expert from the World, unable to protect even their own.

If this impression couldn’t be reversed timely and their prestige restored, the officials of the Tiger Saber Gang faction would inevitably become increasingly panic-stricken.

Without these people’s support, the Tiger Saber Gang would be like a tiger without fangs.

So Zhang Mingze was making a grand spectacle of his release from prison today, to show everyone the power of the Tiger Saber Gang!

Besides that, he was deliberately luring the Green-faced Ghost out.

“I’m making a grand spectacle of my release from prison and will immediately return to the lair of the Tiger Saber Gang, surrounded by heavily protected experts. If you want to kill me, today might be your only chance. Are you going to make a move?”

This was the ‘multiple-choice question’ Zhang Mingze posed to the Green-faced Ghost.

“Here they come! Here they come!”

“He’s out!”

“Who is it?”

As Zhang Mingze and his group came out, there was a stir among the crowd waiting outside.

Snap!

Lined up in two rows, the men in black stood at attention in unison, then bowed at ninety degrees and yelled:

“Welcome Master Zhang!!!”

The spectacle startled the onlookers.

“Who is Master Zhang?”

“He’s the Master of the Tiger Saber Gang!”

“So it’s the Tiger Saber Gang.”

Now the surrounding crowd knew who the big shot they were greeting was, and soon they all fell silent.

The Tiger Saber Gang had a notorious reputation among the locals, feared and avoided like a fearsome tiger or a venomous snake. Although people didn’t know why this Master Zhang had been captured by the Inspection Bureau, seeing him now walking out of the Inspection Bureau’s gates in such splendor, it was clear he was no longer in trouble.

Indeed, even the Inspection Bureau couldn’t handle the Tiger Saber Gang.

This realization darkened the mood of the onlookers, who no longer wished to watch the spectacle and began to turn away.

Whoo—

Just as the crowd was about to disperse, a deep horn sound suddenly rang out.

The people turned back in surprise, only to see two strong men in black blowing the horns with full strength.

The sound of the horns spread across the entire Inspection Bureau and down the street!

Following the horn’s echo, the parked luxury motorcade moved.

The ‘Qilin’ stopped in front of Zhang Mingze, who was the center of attention, and someone opened the car door for him.

This scene further chilled the hearts of the onlookers.

“Damn!”

Watching the scene unfold outside the gate from his upstairs office, Li Lei cursed angrily, his expression dark as he turned away from the window.

The Tiger Saber Gang was making such a flamboyant scene in front of the entire Inspection Bureau to proclaim one thing:

From now on, the Inspection Bureau was under the sway of the Tiger Saber Gang!

This behavior infuriated Li Lei, who was impotent to act.

After being promoted as the Captain of the First Squad, he was ambitious and eager to achieve something notable. Yet he wasn’t Lu Sheng; he had been transferred directly from the Second Squad and had no foundation in the First Squad.

That was bad enough, but to make matters worse, Inspector General Wu Yihua continually suppressed Li Lei.

Without any foundation, Li Lei had no means to compete against an Inspector General. Within just a month, his position as Captain had been mostly undermined by Wu Yihua, making it difficult for him to navigate within the Inspection Bureau.

So even if Li Lei was ambitious, upright, and disapproved of the current conduct of the Inspection Bureau, he was helpless.

There were many others within the Inspection Bureau who felt the same as he did.

The sound of the horns was chilling to the soul!

Inside the ‘Qilin’, the car windows were tinted light red, and the view from inside was also tinted red.

These windows were bulletproof glass mixed with tissue from Exotic Beasts, therefore they couldn’t be fully transparent.

Zhang Mingze sat alone in the back seat, while Yang Xuan sat in the passenger seat, with two War Axes placed on his thighs.

“Let’s go, follow the designated route,”

Zhang Mingze told the driver.

“Yes.”

The driver started the car, gradually moving away from the Inspection Bureau.

“Master,”

Yang Xuan, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly spoke, “I don’t understand why you deliberately had the motorcade take a detour?”

The drive back from the Inspection Bureau to the Yu residence could have taken the shortest route, with a lot of experts arranged along the way to prevent any mishaps.

But Zhang Mingze had purposefully designed a longer, more circuitous route, and had deliberately left some points along the way unguarded.

Zhang Mingze smiled and said:

“Because I want to create an opportunity for the Green-faced Ghost, to let him see a possibility of success, so that he might be compelled to make a move.”

“I want to see if this time, he dares to draw his blade against me.”
