Chapter 62 Like a Knife

Bam-!
Pushing himself to his feet, Pingling Jinzong hurried over to the desk and picked up the paintbrush on the table.
Being a vice president was never a lowly position.
There was only one other person in the Anchal District Office who had a higher rank than him, a man named Qingjasa.
By the way.
His current appearance was reminiscent of a servant obeying the orders of some absolute being.
It’s as if you’re treating someone who’s more than a celadon.
What did they see.
What was that small object that Joo Yoo-kang pulled out earlier that made Pyeong-ryeong Jin-jong feel so nauseous?
Puffy.
His hand trembles as he grips the paintbrush, reflecting the deep fear in his heart.
The only thing ruling his body and mind now was the instinct to survive.
‘I’m no longer…… flies and breath!’
Thrill.
My heart was pounding wildly.
It was the most intense nervousness I’ve ever felt in my life.
Whoa, whoa, whoa…….
Ping Ling Jinzhong cleared his ragged breath and began to move the brush in his hand.
Shhh, shhh, shhhh-.
Black letters on such thin paper stretch one by one.
After a short period of time, the hand of Pyeongling Jinzong, which had stopped, concluded the writing of the official letter by placing his vice seal.
“Here…… is it. This is a tongyeong letter issued by my direct order. As you are well aware, this is an emergency authorization letter that omits reporting to headquarters, so it will only be valid for three days.”
When Pingling Jinzong held out the Tongongjiang with a terrified look in his eyes, Zhu Yugang teasingly snatched it out of his hand.
“It’s all over tomorrow anyway.”
“Ah…… yes.”
“If you were a good manager, I wouldn’t have to show my credentials like this.”
“I’m so sorry, I’m guilty as charged!”
“I guess we’ll find out now. Dead or not.”
Zhu Yugang’s sarcastic tone caused Ping Lingjin to break out in a cold sweat.
“Yes…… that, I’ll just sit back and wait for disposition.”
“All corruption in the world starts from the top and flows downward, just as clear water at the top leads to clear water at the bottom. That’s why the duty and responsibility of managing the country’s sweat equity is so great.”
“…….”
“Popular sentiment can make or break a nation. With the likes of you on the rise, this country will eventually lose the trust of the people and fall into a precarious position.”
“…….”
Pingling Jinzong could only listen restlessly, unable to say anything, as if he were mute with honey.
“The people are the kingdom of heaven and earth, and to rule the kingdom of heaven and earth is the tianzhi. In other words, you have defeated the heavens and the earth through your over-the-top selfishness.”
Immediately afterward, Zhu Yugang reached out and grabbed his opponent’s chin.
“Look me in the eye.”
Ping Ling Jinzhong met his gaze, terrified.
Moment.
His cold, piercing gaze flew like a transparent rainbow, piercing deep into the flesh.
I had goosebumps from head to toe.
A faux majesty that transcended class distinctions radiated from his eyes, sending shivers down my spine.
“Oh……, please……, let me live…….”
At that moment, Pyeong-ryung Jinjong stammered with a pale face.
“The proof is in the pudding, and you are the witness.”
“……!”
“Tomorrow I will go to the chambers of the angels and secure residual evidence that cannot be taken away. What do you think you should do after this time?”
Pingling Jinzong immediately understood the meaning behind the question.
“Ah…… g, let’s pre-write the statement…… statement!”
Zhu Yugang nodded, and then gave him a fierce glare.
“You don’t know the power of this body.”
“Yes, old!”
“I could summarily decapitate you, but…… let’s keep you alive for now.”
“Go, go, go, thank you!”
“Don’t stutter, I don’t want to hear it.”
Flinching, Pingling Jinzong carefully spoke, his lips curling in fear.
“Sorry……, I was too surprised to stop…….”
“In any case, when I visit again, I hope it won’t be to destroy the Three Clans.”
It was a threat and a warning that if they were to have an ulterior motive, if they were to try to cover up their sins, or if they were to reveal their identity to others, they would face immediate consequences.
When Pingling Jinzong moved his head slightly instead of answering, Zhu Yugang relaxed his grip on his chin.
“How deeply have you dipped your toe in the water?”
He was a bodyguard I’d had in my entourage for years, and I suspected he’d done a lot of dirty work.
It was reasonable suspicion.
Then Ping-ling Jinzong shook his head and said.
“No, he doesn’t usually get involved in anything outside of political affairs…… that’s just the way he is.”
Yi Chai suddenly appeared in Zhu Yugang’s eyes.
“Don’t know anything?”
“That’s right. If he had noticed in any way, he wouldn’t have…… been by my side.”
Hearing that, an invisible smile formed on Zhu Yugang’s lips, which quickly disappeared.
‘So you’re just a selfless bodyguard doing your job. That’s a little unexpected.
On the one hand, I was relieved.
It wasn’t just garbage next to garbage.
I wondered if the angel room incident would result in the punishment of a famous samurai that the Anchor Branch was proud of.
‘That’s a lot of power for such a duck.
With that thought, Zhu Yugang gave the order again.
“How can he be under the dog? Have his old papers ready tomorrow. I’m in need of a proper bodyguard myself.”
Then, Ping Lingjin Sect moved his shaky hands and clasped them together in front of his chest.
“Yes, I’ll take care of that as well.”
Despite the loss of his bodyguard, who had become like family to Zolzie, there was no glint of discontent in his eyes.
* * *
Zhu Yugang walked out of the office, carrying a white sword wrapped in a white cloth and a tongjiang.
tak
Closing the lattice door behind him, he walked along the corridor that bordered the courtyard, muttering to himself.
‘You did it out of Chapter’s anger. I came to the Wuyang Sect with a pact not to use my power rashly in the first place…….’
Originally, I had planned to hit the angel room first, and then bring all the internal evidence with me to settle things here in the Hunan Anchal North Office.
I didn’t need to get a Tongyeong certificate to move.
The groundwork had already been laid for Chu Liuhui to use the Bai’er Sword as a pretext to immobilize the angels.
However, he wanted to perfect it even more.
I didn’t want to give a bunch of bureaucrats on the payroll of the angels the time of day.
Do.
I used Tongyeong as an excuse to come here.
Of course, it’s an adventure he wouldn’t have attempted if it weren’t for his secret identity.
‘In any case, my aim was successful.
It was a relief.
There’s only one thing left to do.
Sweep the angel room.
If you clean up the place tomorrow, I’ll be able to trap and punish any and all of them.
There was no chance that the secret of his identity would leak out.
Don’t worry.
Pyeongling Jinzong has already figured it out.
If they really did, they’d go down the tubes and never recover…….
“But I’ll be careful in the future. I have other important things to do. Even if I’m stuck in Ouyang for now.’
In the back of his mind, he recalled the orders of his superiors.
-First, go to Wuyang in Hunan Province. You’ll be taking Hyun-Seung’s place when he retires, and you won’t be too conspicuous in such a position. Before you go, remember this. I know your sense of justice and duty, but I don’t want you to get caught up in something that will expose your true identity. And keep that sword disguised as a crown jewel, do you understand?
‘Huh, I’m so sorry. The unexpected appearance of the Iron Currents has given me an unexpected opportunity, and I’m afraid I’ve broken the rules of decorum.
Chuckling to himself, Zhu Yugang soon passed in front of a boudoir with a wide-open door on the side of the corridor, and spotted a figure sitting at a small table drinking tea.
He was the bodyguard of the Pingling Jin Sect, with a reputation as the most powerful man in the Anchal Branch Office.
The moment Zhu Yugang stopped walking.
“Ah, are you done?”
Damengi asked politely as he set the teacup down.
Zhu Yugang nodded and gave me a meaningful look.
“What’s your credo?”
Damengi looked at him carefully and replied.
“Like a knife…… is.”
“Do you mean connect and disconnect, like and dislike?”
“In line.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s like, ‘Let’s guard our commute time like a knife.'”
“…….”
Oh, that’s what you meant? Yeah, well, it’s kind of in line with…….
“I have a strict policy of not working outside of set hours. But why are you asking me that out of the blue?”
“Just curious, no offense intended. If…… doesn’t work extra overtime?”
“That’s the way it is here.”
“Must?”
“Yes. As you know, the salary of a guanxi escort varies depending on the employer, and the vice president I’m working for now has been charging me a lot of overtime from the beginning. So I drew a line in the sand and said that unless my salary is increased, I will not accept any calls outside of my regular working hours. I think it’s your job to look out for your own interests, not someone else’s.”
“…….”
“Of course I do my best to do my job. It’s only a bunch of crazies who ask for generous benefits if they don’t do a good job.”
Dammungi’s serious voice and facial expressions show his confidence in Ilshin’s powerlessness.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Yugang said.
“Hmm…… So what if another official offers to pay you overtime plus hazard pay?”
“We’ll say goodbye to adverbs.”
As if there’s nothing else to do but think about it and go to sleep.
“…….”
It’s a knife, Carl.
When Zhu Yugang inwardly stuck out his tongue, Dameng Qi’s eyes turned.
“I……, are you the Guan Yin who was just mentioned?”
“You’re too pissed off to be here.”
“Oh, you’re really promising generous overtime and hazard pay?”
“I’m pretty sure I can meet your requirements. Just wait until tomorrow…….”
Dammengi interrupts and exclaims.
“Zugong!”
“What……?”
“From now on, I pledge allegiance to my lord!”
Dammungi even knelt down on both knees to perform the powwow.
“No, hey, hey…….”
While Joo Yoo Kang was looking dumbfounded, Dam Meng-ki came out with a more enthusiastic attitude.
“Zhu Gong, I’ll pack my things and get ready to leave right away, it won’t take long anyway, it’s less than two bags of luggage, no, I’ll have to fill out the transfer papers first!”
Zhu Yugang stared at him blankly.
Is he going to be okay?
I’d sell my soul for a generous allowance…….
This, that, and the next time you get an offer from someone else that makes your ears perk up, you cut them off like a knife and walk away.
At that moment, Damengi jumped to his feet and drew his sword.
“Lord Zhu, let me show you a little bit of my skill, my longest sword, the Bai Yan Nan Sword!”
No, hey, stop.
Before Zhu Yugang had time to react, Dameng Qi’s sword moved dizzily like a white flash.
“Shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh, shhhh! Shhhh, shhhh……!”
Hey, stop making weird sound effects!
And the hand and muzzle don’t fit together at all!
Awww, why are you breaking the end tables again!
