871 Causing trouble? (2)
“Of course, if you don’t cooperate, don’t blame us.”
Hearing this, Gu Hui asked curiously.
“Cooperate with what?”
“You’ll know when we get there.”
As he spoke, the sheriff’s car began to turn around in the Central Province city.
After driving for more than 20 minutes, the sheriff stopped the car at the entrance of a slightly dilapidated courtyard.
“Come down!”
Gu Hui and Gu Zheng got out of the car and followed the sheriff into the courtyard.
At this moment, more than ten people with terrified expressions were lying on the ground.
When they saw someone enter, they all struggled frantically to stand up.
However, someone had done something to them, so they could not do anything. They could only struggle on the ground. At the same time, their gagged mouths let out a series of whimpers. Clearly, they were prepared to beg for mercy.
Looking at these people, the sheriffs had no intention of paying attention to them. Instead, they turned to look at Gu Hui.
“Release the monsters in your thing and kill these people.”
“Then you can go.”
When Gu Hui heard this, he turned to look at the people who were almost scared to death and then at the sheriffs. He could not understand who could think of such a stupid method.
Any normal person would be able to tell that these people were tied up here!
Could it be that killing more than ten people like this could create a terrifying image of the tamed beasts in Central Province?
Gu Zheng did not consider this.
Instead, he looked at these sheriffs and was a little curious about whose handiwork this was.
Unlike Gu Hui, he did not think that this method was stupid.
On the contrary, if this matter really succeeded, the tamed beasts would indeed become a terrifying existence in Central Province City. It would be even more difficult for people to accept the existence of tamed beasts.
After all, regardless of whether these people were kidnapped or not, the truth was that some tamed beasts had killed more than ten people.
As long as this objective fact was there, it was impossible for people to ignore this matter. Tamed beasts would definitely be pushed to the opposite side of humans.
This way, it would be much more difficult to promote it.
After all, the general public would not consider the context of the situation. They would only care about the fact that tamed beasts could kill people, and there were many of them.
This way, those people’s goals would be achieved.
However, they did not expect that the person they “invited” today would be him, Gu Zheng.
If it were two people, it would really be fine.
If the beasts really killed innocent people, even as the mayor, he would not be able to use a strong att.i.tude to promote the spread of beasts.
He could only choose to give up.
After all, he had to take care of the people’s emotions.
However, perhaps the heavens wanted the beasts to be promoted in Central Province as soon as possible.
These idiots actually found his son and asked him to be the executioner.
This made Gu Zheng very angry, but at the same time, he also found it a little funny.
“I’ll give you a chance. Call your Chief over. There’s still a chance to salvage the situation later.”
Upon hearing Gu Zheng’s words, the sheriffs looked at the middle-aged man with a square face who looked very imposing. They were a little hesitant.
That kid was at Level 4, but the few of them were not afraid. Who was not at Level 4?
Although the middle-aged man in front of them was at Level 5, they also had Level 5 experts, so they were not worried.
Wouldn’t it be better if these two dared to resist?
But this time, they had miscalculated.
Why was this person looking for their Chief the moment he arrived?
Although he was only the chief of a branch office, his power was not low.
There were not many districts in Central Province, so the area under the jurisdiction of the Branch Chief was not small. There were also many sheriffs under him.
Hence, when they saw this middle-aged man confidently saying that he wanted to look for their Chief, they were really intimidated.
“You… Who are you? Is our Chief someone you can contact just because you want to?”
“Just say that Gu Zheng is looking for him.”
When the sheriff heard Gu Zheng’s name, he could not help but frown.
This name… sounds familiar?
The sheriff, who was a little bewildered, immediately called the Chief who arranged the mission.
“Chief, this… we caught someone. He said his name is Gu Zheng.”
On the other end of the line, the Chief was stunned for a moment when he heard the sheriff’s words. His voice instantly rose by countless decibels.
“What the h.e.l.l are you talking about?! Who’s there?”
“Uh… Gu… Gu Zheng…”
“F*ck!”
The Chief was on the verge of despair.
What kind of stupid teammates were his subordinates?
How stupid were they to kidnap the mayor?
Listening to the scolding on the other end of the phone, the sheriff was still a little confused.
“Gu Zheng…”
“That’s the mayor! Apologize now! I’ll be right there!”
“Mayor?”
“But… but…”
“But what?”
“We’ve taken them over to the field—”
“F*ck!”
Then, the sheriff heard the sound of the phone being smashed.
It was obvious that the Chief on the other end of the phone had lost his mind from anger.
The sheriff looked at Gu Zheng in front of him and Gu Hui beside him. He opened his mouth, but could only speak.
He could already predict his ending.
To be honest, it was already very generous of the Gu father and son not to beat him to death immediately.
“Li San Er, what’s wrong?”
“Don’t speak! Hurry up and come over and admit your mistake!”
“What kind of plane are you on?”
“Mayor Gu, I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was you. This…”
Looking at the sheriff who knew his ident.i.ty, Gu Zheng waved his hand.
“If I wasn’t the mayor, wouldn’t these people be dead this time?”
Gu Zheng pointed at the people who were about to pee their pants.
The sheriff opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only nod.
Gu Hui did not expect to encounter such a thing when he was just going out. He was originally happy after obtaining the beasts, but in the end, this situation directly ruined his good mood.
“What’s going on?”
“How dare you ask! This is Mayor Gu! Mayor Gu!”
The sheriff at the back wanted to come over and ask about the situation, but he was interrupted by the first sheriff.
Right on the heels of that, they fell into silence and fear.
Especially the two sheriffs who had just scolded them, their faces turned pale.
Although they were all mutants.
And their levels were also Level 4 and Level 5.
However, they only had ordinary mutant abilities.
They usually act as crowd actors in the Public Security Department, not doing anything.
They had never paid any attention to who was the mayor.
Normally, the Branch Chief was the biggest shot that they could come into contact with.
The other was the Chief of the Public Security Bureau.
However, this kind of person could only be seen a few times a year, so they did not remember him at all.
Now, they had directly touched the head of the Taisui.
They could even imagine what would happen to them later.
Whether they could survive or not was another matter.
Therefore, the two timid sheriffs knelt down.
“Mayor, we… we were deceived!”
“It’s all because our Chief said that… These tamed beasts are all monsters and that they will harm our people, so we came here to stop them!”
“The idea of getting the beasts to kill was also instructed by the Branch Chief.”
“This… we really can’t refuse!”
There was no pity in Gu Zheng’s eyes as he looked at the few sheriffs who began to kneel and wail.
There was no way he would let these people off.
If there was no basic judgment on what the Branch Chief had instructed, were these people even capable of aiding public security?
They were useless when in danger, but were good at bullying people.
Gu Zheng even wanted to take advantage of the popularization of beasts to reshuffle the Public Security Department.
In any case, there were many beasts suitable for public security. There was no need to worry about lacking people.
Moreover, the tamed beasts were more obedient. They would not run away first when they encountered danger!
