Chapter 504: Chapter 504: Hero in the Night

Chi Wencheng ignored the subtle glances from the police officer and looked at the next file.

"Zhuang Rouhui, address is Haoting New District."

The file included Zhuang Rouhui’s ID photo to prevent any mistakes in identity.

Ai Peng looked at the photo and lamented, "She’s quite pretty herself. Why would she do something like this?"

Zhang Leshan, clearly a family man, sighed, "Beauty is never-ending for women. My wife was a beauty in her youth too, and she’d fuss over all her jars and bottles every day. I really can’t fathom what they think about."

Chi Wencheng stared at the file without speaking.

He just felt that this woman, did she somewhat resemble Senior Yan’s junior sister?

Especially when Zhuang Rouhui opened the door after he pressed the doorbell, Chi Wencheng’s surprise reached an extreme.

She really did look alike.

Zhuang Rouhui said displeased, "What’s the matter?"

Seeing Chi Wencheng frozen, Ai Peng hurriedly took out his ID and introduced himself, explaining their purpose.

Zhuang Rouhui frowned, "How can you prove that what you’re saying is true?"

It was then that Chi Wencheng finally reacted, spouting off that lengthy spiel again.

Like Lan Li, Zhuang Rouhui also didn’t understand these matters originally.

Seeing Chi Wencheng speaking so convincingly, she believed him.

Then she turned around and coldly said, "If that’s the case, why didn’t you arrest You Fangxin from the start? This is negligence in your work!"

Zhang Leshan said awkwardly, "We also need time to investigate..."

Zhuang Rouhui said arrogantly, "I don’t want to hear any excuses. Our taxpayer money supports you, so you should do your job properly. I don’t know how greatly my body has been affected, but if anything happens later on, the police must take responsibility."

Even Chi Wencheng was left speechless by these words, feeling disheartened for a moment.

The Supernatural Management Bureau and the Public Security Bureau had already reacted as soon as they suspected something was wrong.

The abuse Chi Wencheng suffered inside was ironclad proof.

Yet, after all their hard work in cracking the case and recovering evidence for the safety of these people, Chi Wencheng couldn’t describe the taste in his mouth from such criticism.

As a cultivator, he always had abilities far beyond ordinary people, yet it was the small flame of righteousness in his heart that led him to join the Supernatural Management Bureau.

In confronting evil cultivators, he was always at risk of death.

This time, he was humiliated but managed to escape with his life, which was already considered lucky.

Yet, as one of those he sought to protect, Zhuang Rouhui was pointing her finger at him and scolding him for not doing his job well. Chi Wencheng took a deep breath, suppressing the sourness in his heart.

Perhaps, as Director Cui said, their deeds could not be known by ordinary people; they were destined to be heroes of the night.

As the sun rises, they must vanish, without songs of praise and with ever-present dangers.

Yet they silently guard the flame of righteousness.

Sigh, but to be true to one’s conscience is all one can ask for.

Ai Peng and Zhang Leshan also felt indignant, but seeing that Chi Wencheng didn’t speak, they could only suppress their anger and listen.

Zhuang Rouhui grew more irritated as she spoke and raised her hand to fiercely throw the Wood Carving at Chi Wencheng.

"In conclusion, I reserve the right to sue you, and you must take responsibility for any problems that arise."

Chi Wencheng dodged backward, narrowly avoiding being hit in the face.

Silently picking up the object, he walked with the officers out of the community.

Halfway there, Zhang Leshan couldn’t contain his annoyance, "This Zhuang Rouhui looks nice and pretty, but why is she so difficult? She brought this upon herself because of her greed, attracting the attention of an evil cultivator. We toiled to find clues, and Brother Chi suffered so much. We didn’t even get a thank you, just a pile of complaints."

Ai Peng was also angry, "Some people are just not worth saving. If the evil cultivator had consumed her flesh and refined her soul, she would realize the gravity of the situation."

Although both were ordinary people, they had been working with the Supernatural Management Bureau for a long time and were familiar with the basics.

Ai Peng and Zhang Leshan were usually tight-lipped, and having signed confidentiality agreements, they would never speak of these matters publicly.

But today, provoked by Zhuang Rouhui, they were somewhat indiscreet.

It was Chi Wencheng who stopped them.

"Enough, how many more houses are left?" he asked, his gaze shifting toward the bushes next to the villa’s flowerbed.

Ai Peng and Zhang Leshan immediately dared not say more, just looking down at the files.

"Two more."

"Let’s go." Chi Wencheng led the two officers away, withdrawing his gaze.

It was just two children over there, it shouldn’t be a big deal.

Besides, children could speak without thinking, and even if they did talk, no one would believe them.

But what Chi Wencheng couldn’t have anticipated was that these were not ordinary children.
