I Am Immortal in Great Yu

Chapter 242: Chapter 98: Xianxia

"Make the two informants commit suicide out of guilt?"

Li Dadan was stunned.

’Wait, can you *make* someone commit suicide out of guilt?’

"Dadan, in the future, don’t just charge ahead recklessly. Learn a thing or two from Bajin."

Fang Rui paused. "Even giving oneself death by a thousand cuts can be classified as suicide out of guilt! Now, be quick about it. I’m leaving."

’Those two informants were just low-level grunts, but their actions were more despicable than the human traffickers from my past life. After all, people sold by traffickers might at least survive. But the innocent infants, the young boys and girls they captured? They were sure to die, and in the most extreme agony.’

He had zero psychological barriers to killing such people without mercy.

"Chief, thanks!"

Li Dadan finally understood. He got on his tiptoes and shouted at Fang Rui’s retreating back, but only saw Fang Rui give a wave of his hand as he strode away.

When he turned back around, his eyes were red-rimmed and brimming with murderous intent.

...

Fang Rui rubbed his face, put on a huge smile, and walked briskly toward the door. "Yo, Zheng Jinzhang, Chu Jinzhang! What rare guests! Come in, have a seat. I’ll brew you some tea."

Yes, he knew both of the Golden Seal Renowned Hunters who had come to visit.

The one with the long face, who looked down his nose at everyone and carried himself with a cold, noble, and self-important air, was from the Zheng Family: Golden Seal Renowned Hunter Zheng Jingkai.

—Most members of the Zheng Family were filled with this same sense of superiority. Even those from a side branch like Zheng Jingkai, not to mention direct descendants of the main branch like Zheng Jingwei and Zheng Jinghan, were all the same. Fang Rui had seen it plenty of times.

The other Golden Seal Renowned Hunter, the one with the amiable smile, was named Chu Xingyun. He had taken a liking to Fang Rui after the last Jade Plum Association gathering and had invited him several times to come work under him.

’But wasn’t it great being the Land Tyrant of a Divine Capture Bureau Branch Office?’ Fang Rui had no particular desire to rack up Contribution Points for a quick promotion, so he had politely refused each time. Chu Xingyun, far from being angry, had continued to look out for him.

"We have orders from above. At 11:15 AM, Fang Yinzheng is to take two Chief Constables and assemble outside Nanshan Garden. There is to be no delay."

Zheng Jingkai said with a stern face, handing over a written order signed by Zhou Changfa, the Director of the Divine Capture Bureau.

Every Silver Seal Chief Constable had three Seventh Grade Chief Constables under them. The order only required him to bring two, which was apparently a very humane consideration for unforeseen circumstances.

"Yes, sir!" Fang Rui accepted the order with both hands, his expression turning solemn.

"We’re all on the same side, no need to be so serious," Chu Xingyun said with a chuckle.

"There’s one more thing,"

Zheng Jingkai said coldly, "I heard that Fang Yinzheng’s men captured two informants involved in the abduction of infants and children. I’m here to take them off your hands."

’Just as I expected.’

Fang Rui thought to himself, then said readily, "If you have an order, sir, of course I’ll comply. It’s no problem, no problem at all. But there’s no rush. Please, have some tea first, you two."

"I heard Fang Yinzheng has a Jade Lotus at home. And this is what you serve us? A bit stingy, don’t you think?"

Chu Xingyun cracked a joke, picked up his teacup, and said to Zheng Jingkai, "We’re not in a rush anyway. Zheng Jinzhang, why don’t we sit here with Fang Yinzheng for a little while?"

Zheng Jingkai frowned but didn’t say anything, which was a tacit agreement.

After all, Fang Rui had just readily agreed to hand over the suspects, giving him face. It wouldn’t do to put on too many airs at this point—the Zheng Family, after all, was very well-bred.

Fang Rui made small talk with Zheng Jingkai and Chu Xingyun for a while, and they drank half a pot of tea.

"Chief, bad news! The two informants—they committed suicide out of guilt!"

Just then, Li Dadan burst in, a look of ’panic’ on his face.

His acting, however, made Fang Rui want to facepalm.

"Oh, really? What the hell are you guys paid for?!" Even though his supporting actor was subpar, Fang Rui delivered a god-tier, award-winning performance, roaring in anger.

Then, an awkward scene unfolded.

Faced with Fang Rui’s masterful performance, Li Dadan fumbled his lines. He hesitated, then scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Uh, Chief, I didn’t eat breakfast..."

Fang Rui had the sudden urge to just turn around and walk away.

Fortunately, Zheng Jingkai and Chu Xingyun were so focused on the news of the two informants’ suicides that they didn’t pay much attention to these details.

"Take me to see them. Immediately."

Zheng Jingkai slammed his teacup down and stood up.

It wasn’t that he particularly cared about two low-level informants, but they were the Zheng Family’s dogs, after all. He could do what he wanted with them behind closed doors, but to outsiders, he had to at least show a pretense of protection and concern.

「The Dungeons.」

Zheng Jingkai squatted down to examine the bodies, his expression grim. "These two... their lower parts... and their tongues have been cut off. The tendons in their wrists and ankles have been severed. But the actual cause of death is the wound on the forehead..."

As expected of a Golden Seal Renowned Hunter, he came to a conclusion immediately after a brief inspection.

"Fang Yinzheng, what is the meaning of this?" he demanded, his voice thick with suppressed rage.

"What is the meaning of this?" Fang Rui repeated like a parrot, then looked at Li Dadan.

"Uh, well, it’s like this."

Li Dadan had clearly rehearsed this part. He immediately answered, "After we brought these two informants in for abducting infants and children, our interrogation made them deeply realize the gravity of their crimes. In a fit of conscience, they severed their own wrist and ankle tendons, then castrated themselves, bit off their own tongues, and bashed their heads against the wall until they were dead to atone for their sins..."

"PFFT—Cough, cough!"

Chu Xingyun couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing. As Zheng Jingkai, Fang Rui, and Li Dadan all turned to look at him, he waved his hand dismissively. "It’s nothing, I just thought of something funny. Please, continue."
