Chapter 210 The Emperor’s New Clothes

General Security Bureau.

Ruan Qingsha was lying on the chair in the office, fiddling with a pen in her hand absentmindedly, and even put her favorite milk tea aside without drinking it.

Suddenly, she took out her cell phone again, turned on the screen, and looked at a text message on it.

This was a message from Shen Cheng, telling her that he was going to a farm in the countryside with a professor to conduct archaeological excavations.

But before this, Shen Chengke had never done this.

Ruan Qingsha actually knew in her heart what it meant to proactively report the itinerary, so she was a little confused.

Ever since she drank on the balcony, she has been avoiding Shen Cheng for the past few days.

She was not angry at Shen Cheng for forcing a kiss on her. On the contrary, it was because she was not angry that she didn't know how to deal with the matter.

Although she can talk about relevant love theories very well and can debate with many people online, her practical experience in real life is basically zero.

I can only stay out of the spotlight for now.

She had read the text message sent by Shen Cheng many times today, but she still couldn't help but take it out and continue reading.

"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

Ruan Qingsha quickly put away her phone.

The assistant pushed the door open and saw Ruan Qingsha. She asked curiously, "Captain, are you happy about something?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Then why do you have such a happy smile on your face?"

Ruan Qingsha quickly touched her face with her hand, and sure enough, a smile appeared on her face that she was not even aware of.

How could I be so happy when I read a text message myself?
The assistant saw Ruan Qingsha's face suddenly turned red, and asked curiously: "Captain, why are you blushing again?"

She suspected that Ruan Qingsha was hiding in the office and secretly watching some porn movie.

Ruan Qingsha coughed awkwardly: "If you have anything to say, just tell me now, don't ask too many questions."

"Oh, Director He asked you to come over. It seems to be about catching a fugitive."

Ruan Qingsha nodded, stood up and left the office.

The last time the blasphemer's high-ranking official escaped from prison, he did not leave the state capital, but instead has been secretly operating in this city.

The Public Security Bureau was able to occasionally find traces of him, but they were unable to catch him. After being thrown into prison once, he became more cunning than before.

Ruan Qingsha has been in charge of this matter, but she has not been able to catch the other party, which makes her a little angry.

On the way to Director He's office, Ruan Qingsha's cell phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was Zhao Nanxing calling.

She put it to her ear and answered: "Teacher, you called me at this time, do you want to treat me to a meal?"

Zhao Nanxing's voice was a little serious: "Where are you now? What are you going to do?"

"I'm at work now. I should be catching a fugitive later."

Ruan Qingsha said in a joking tone: "Are you here to check on me? Then you will be disappointed. I haven't been absent from work for a long time."

Zhao Nanxing didn't mean to joke with her: "Don't do anything now, come to me immediately."

Ruan Qingsha heard something wrong from her tone and stopped immediately.

"What happened?"

Zhao Nanxing would never interfere with her work without authorization, but now he actually asked her to skip work and go over there. Something major must have happened.

"The phone said it's not convenient, come over first."

"Ok."

After Ruan Qingsha hung up the phone, she sent a text message to Director He, telling him that she had an urgent matter, and then hurriedly left the Public Security Bureau.

More than ten minutes later, Ruan Qingsha, who had been rushing all the way, finally arrived at Zhao Nanxing's office.

"What on earth is it that requires me to come here?"

Ruan Qingsha sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and held the unfinished milk tea in her hand: "If nothing else, I'll stay here with you today."

Zhao Nanxing put down the work at hand and threw a letter to Ruan Qingsha: "Take a look?"

"What is this? It can't be a love letter written to you by someone else."

As she spoke, she took out the paper from the envelope. She only took a glance at it, and the smile on her face disappeared.

After quickly reading it, Ruan Qingsha's expression became solemn, and she read it again.

This is an ultimatum, warning Zhao Nanxing not to meddle in other people's affairs, and the signer is the Life Court.

The Living Tribunal is a mysterious organization that has been secretly producing demon serum. Previously in Tailing City, Ruan Qingsha and Shen Cheng had destroyed their production and sales network.

But that was just a drop in the ocean. The tentacles of the Living Tribunal were spread across every state in the Federation. This was a well-known secret among the top brass of the Federation.

The federal top brass knew what the Living Tribunal was doing, and they also knew that there were people behind this mysterious organization.

But they all pretended not to see it and pretended that this mysterious organization did not exist.

Of course, not everyone turns a blind eye to this. Many places will more or less crack down on the Life Tribunal to prevent them from going too far.

Zhao Nanxing was one of them. She was ruthless to the Life Court and struck it hard many times. Countless high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen fell into her hands because of the Life Court.

The reason why Ruan Qingsha dared to overturn the table in Tailing City was because of Zhao Nanxing's attitude.

Just two weeks ago, under the instructions of Zhao Nanxing, the Public Security Bureau destroyed another production base of demon serum and arrested hundreds of related personnel.

At this point, all the strongholds of the Life Tribunal in the entire state capital and even in several surrounding cities had been cleared out, and years of hard work had been wasted.

The Life Court must have been pushed into a corner, and it actually sent a ultimatum to Zhao Nanxing, demanding that she stop and not target the Life Court again, otherwise she would be in trouble.

After reading the letter, Ruan Qingsha's face looked a little unhappy, because she realized that the threat from the Life Tribunal was not just slogans, but might be real this time.

This mysterious organization that is parasitic in the Federation is extremely large in scale and has existed for a long time.

The number of innocent people who died at their hands may be more than those who died at the hands of demons.

However, the federal top brass turned a blind eye to this, which shows what kind of deep background is hidden behind this organization.

If the Living Tribunal really put all its efforts into it, Ruan Qingsha didn't think that Zhao Nanxing's mere trump card would be able to withstand it.

It would be almost the same if it were those legendary demon hunters.

Zhao Nanxing waited until she finished reading before asking, "What do you think about this letter?"

"Too arrogant, too scary."

Ruan Qingsha slammed the milk tea in her hand onto the table: "If they attack me, I will be the first to surrender."

Zhao Nanxing ignored Ruan Qingsha's witty words and continued to ask, "Do you think I should give in?"

Ruan Qingsha twitched her lips and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you were willing to give in, you wouldn't have called me over."

"Not only this ultimatum, but the acting governor also called me just now and asked me to have dinner with him tonight. He must be lobbying for the Life Tribunal."

Zhao Nanxing said calmly, "They are using threats and pressure at the same time. They want me to bow my head and admit defeat."

"If you can be made to surrender by threats and pressure, then you are not yourself anymore." Ruan Qingsha bit the straw and said with emotion: "Young people nowadays say that I have no rules and like to stir up trouble. They certainly don't know that you were more unruly and more likely to stir up trouble than me back then. I learned all that from you."

The Life Court thought that it could make Zhao Nanxing back down by relying on threats and pressure from superiors, which showed a complete lack of understanding of her character.

She is a toothless old lady who only responds to soft words and not hard ones.

Seeing the student's evaluation of him, Zhao Nanxing was not angry, but smiled slightly: "In terms of talking nonsense, I am far inferior to you."

"Then I can't compare to you in causing trouble, teacher. You are the biggest troublemaker."

"You think this is a disaster, but I think it's a good thing."

Hearing the teacher say this, Ruan Qingsha's eyes showed surprise: "Are you trying to make a big deal out of this?"

Zhao Nanxing said calmly: "That depends on whether the other side wants to cooperate."

Ruan Qingsha's expression changed involuntarily.

After knowing each other for so many years, she saw through Zhao Nanxing's thoughts at a glance.

If things get out of control, Zhao Nanxing will have to pay the price, and the Life Court will be exposed to everyone, and the federal top brass will be forced to face this matter.

No matter how powerful the Life Tribunal is, it is ultimately a rat in the gutter that cannot stand the light of day.

This matter is like the emperor's new clothes. The federal top leaders all know about the existence of the Living Tribunal, but have been pretending not to notice. The only thing missing is a child who can point out that the emperor has no clothes.

Zhao Nanxing was ready to be this child.

Ruan Qingsha looked at Zhao Nanxing with complicated eyes. She knew that Zhao Nanxing was prepared to use his own political life and future as a bargaining chip and shout out in public the fact that the emperor had no clothes.

“But does it make sense to do that?”

Ruan Qingsha couldn't help asking: "Even if you point out that the emperor has no clothes, he is still the emperor."

Zhao Nanxing leaned back in his chair and said calmly, "Someone has to do this kind of thing. I may be the first, but I will never be the last."

Seeing that the teacher was so persistent, Ruan Qingsha knew that she had made up her mind and it was impossible for her to change her mind.

As a student, you can only choose to support.

Although she didn't know why the teacher still had illusions about the Federation, knowing clearly that it was impossible for them to change.

Zhao Nanxing continued, "The Life Tribunal will not attack me directly, so you will be my only breakthrough point."

Her eyes fell on the letter in Ruan Qingsha's hand: "I believe that when they sent this letter, they were already prepared to deal with you."

Ruan Qingsha knew that Zhao Nanxing would never exaggerate, but she was not panicked either: "Then what should I do? Pretend to be fooled?"

Zhao Nanxing nodded slowly: "Just pretend you know nothing, I will make arrangements."

"Then I'll wait for you. Please don't sell me out."

"I've raised you to this age, it's time to sell you for a good price."

……

After returning from Zhao Nanxing, Ruan Qingsha returned to the office and saw the young assistant waiting for her.

"Captain, you're back. Director He is pressing us to come back. Please come back as soon as possible."

"Got it, don't push me."

Ruan Qingsha turned around and went to Director He's office, knocked on the door and entered.

When he saw her come in, Director He immediately complained, "Where did you go just now? I just found the clue of the fugitive. If it's any later, he will run away again."

Ruan Qingsha crossed her arms and asked, "Director He, if I'm not here, can't you let someone else handle this?"

Director He looked helpless: "Isn't this what you have been responsible for? What if I hand it over to someone else and you are not happy about it?"

"Hey, you still understand me."

As Ruan Qingsha spoke, she observed Director He's subtle expressions and did not notice anything wrong.

She didn't know if this was a coincidence or had been arranged, but it didn't matter, she just had to do what the teacher asked.

"Then stop talking nonsense. Where is the location? I'll go catch him right away."

"Should we send you some help?"

"Don't find someone to hold me back."

After handing the fugitive's clue to Ruan Qingsha, Director He suddenly said, "Wait a moment," as he watched her walk away.

Ruan Qingsha turned around and looked at him: "Anything else?"

Director He opened his mouth, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said: "You...you should be careful."

"Don't worry, a few gutter rats can't hurt me."

Ruan Qingsha smiled meaningfully, waved her hand, and turned away.

Director He sat down on the chair, sighed, and suddenly looked much more haggard.

He found that he was indeed far inferior to the director.

If the director encounters such a situation, he would rather perish along with his enemy than help the evildoer.

……

The most luxurious hotel in the state capital is the Four Seasons Hotel, where the average per capita consumption reaches 5,000 yuan, and it is still in short supply.

In the presidential suite, which costs $150,000 a night, a man and a woman stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, admiring the city view below.

"The more expensive the wine, the more uncomfortable I am with it."

The woman held a glass of wine in her hand and asked as she tasted it, "Will Zhao Nanxing admit defeat?"

The man put his hands in his pockets: "No, you don't know this person. She will definitely choose to fight us to the end."

The woman was very confused: "Then why did you send her the letter?"

"Because it's called courtesy before force."

The man explained seriously, "After that, we took action again and explained it to the higher-ups. It's not that we don't want peace, but she is being aggressive."

The woman was silent for a moment. "If we do this, aren't you afraid that she will make a big fuss? Then we will be forced to be exposed."

The man couldn't help laughing: "If Zhao Nanxing really did this, it means that she is still very naive in her heart and actually has such naive fantasies about this world."

He looked into the distance, which happened to be the direction of the government building. "An emperor without clothes is still an emperor. He will not lose his power because of a child's innocent words. Do you think the child who exposed all this will have a good ending?"

The woman is thoughtful.

Although she is powerful in combat, she is only considered a mid-level figure in the Life Court and does not understand matters at a higher level.

I thought that the Life Court could not be exposed to the public, but now from what the man said, it seems that he doesn't care about this matter.

"Let's go."

The man patted the woman's shoulder and said, "So many of our brothers and sisters have been killed by Zhao Nanxing. It's time for her to experience the pain of losing her loved ones."

The woman thought of Zhao Nanxing's students.

She was a very beautiful woman, but unfortunately, she had to become a victim.
