Chapter 266: The Golden Seal Investigation Order

At the training base, after Li Mingsheng arranged the remaining tasks, everyone in the room dispersed to handle their respective duties.

In the room, Jin Maohui sat beside Li Mingsheng, saying softly: "The Supervision Assembly may have been involved too."

"I know," Li Mingsheng replied with a long sigh. "I gave them great resistance regarding Order No. 1 they advocated implementing. Many people are dissatisfied with me being in this position."

Jin Maohui paused before saying: "The garrison's attitude is also hard to predict - don't know which side they'll stand on."

"The garrison also has small factions and circles - some close to the other side, some close to us," Li Mingsheng closed his eyes thinking. "To move against the Supervision Assembly, evidence must be sufficient - my position can't leave room for criticism."

"Rest assured about that - with the bandits in my hands, even if they have iron mouths and steel teeth, I can pry them open," Jin Maohui immediately replied. "However, we need to communicate with the garrison side..."

Li Mingsheng turned to look at Jin Maohui: "No need for our people to show face - I have someone in mind."

"Who?"

"That gun that brought me back," Li Mingsheng said smiling. "This kid is very sharp, and currently has no absolute political stance, also familiar with the garrison side - using such an outsider won't cause problems or leave room for criticism."

"That kid is very young - can he be used?" Jin Maohui was somewhat worried.

"A gun that could snatch me back from the tiger's mouth - what do you think?" Li Mingsheng replied frowning. "I observed him on the way - his mind is very quick."

"Then shall I start preparing on my side?"

"Yes, Old Lu is key - go do it," Li Mingsheng gave a precise answer.

Jin Maohui stood hearing this.

"Bang!"

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open as Li Mingsheng's personal secretary walked in, bowing to say: "Mayor, Mr. Dole from the Zone Administrative Yuan has called."

Hearing this, Li Mingsheng immediately replied: "Quick, put the call through to me!"

......

After calling home in the rest room, Su Tianyu had already fallen into a state of extreme exhaustion. He lay back in the chair and fell asleep without any warning signs.

Around 7 AM, the rest room door was pushed open as Li Mingsheng's personal secretary walked in, bending down to call softly: "Mr. Su, Mr. Su...!"

Su Tianyu opened his eyes hazily: "What... what is it?"

"I'm Li Yuan, Mayor Li's secretary - he's calling for you," Secretary Li Yuan said smiling.

"Oh, good!" Su Tianyu sat up with a start, removing the tape holding the IV drip to his hand replying: "Let's go."

"This way please." Li Yuan very politely led the way.

Five minutes later, Su Tianyu walked into Li Mingsheng's rest room, nodding and bowing saying: "Hello Mayor!"

"Sit." Li Mingsheng had drunk some rice porridge and looked much better.

Su Tianyu bent to sit as Li Yuan knowingly went to "stand guard" at the door.

"Want to eat?" Li Mingsheng asked.

"Sure!" Su Tianyu didn't pretend, immediately using an empty bowl beside him to serve himself some rice porridge, drinking it ravenously.

Li Mingsheng squinted examining Su Tianyu, suddenly asking: "Why did you save me so desperately?"

Su Tianyu replied truthfully: "A child from an ordinary commoner family, lacking opportunities, hehe!"

"Hehe." Li Mingsheng smiled: "Then how did you know I might have problems?"

"I didn't know you'd have problems," Su Tianyu responded very genuinely. "I had negotiated with the Chi Army side - if they could safely withdraw, they'd release you, let me take you back, this way... I could... show myself a bit. But didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on the way."

"Are you very close with the Chi Army?" Li Mingsheng asked again.

"Who dares say very close now," Su Tianyu immediately shook his head. "Before the border closure, I wanted to do some medical supplies business with them, had some contact."

Every sentence Su Tianyu said was without concealment, very straightforward and concise, because he understood clearly that with his capabilities, trying to hide things from Dragon City's mayor would definitely be impossible.

Sure enough, Li Mingsheng also didn't dig deep into Su Tianyu's relationship with the Chi Army, because if investigating this matter, who knew how many Dragon City departments previously knew the Chi Army - could you execute them all?

Li Mingsheng put down his porridge bowl, looking at Su Tianyu pausing for several seconds before saying: "You saved my life - what can I do to repay this favor?"

"No, no, just remember there's someone like me," Su Tianyu replied "modestly."

"Haha!" Li Mingsheng laughed loudly: "Are you sure you don't want to ask me to do anything? Think carefully - this kind of thing easily passes this village with no more shops ahead."

"No need, no need!" Su Tianyu shook his head again.

Li Mingsheng looked at him, slowly nodding to reply: "Alright, if you won't ask me to do anything, then do something more for me."

Su Tianyu paused before immediately putting down his bowl and chopsticks saying: "Your instructions, Chief!"

"Someone wanted to move against your family - want revenge?"

"Yes!" Su Tianyu nodded without hesitation.

"If you want revenge, from now on you'll be tied to my boat," Li Mingsheng deliberately made his meaning very clear.

"That's what I want!" Su Tianyu replied with unbeatable tongue skill.

"Hehe, good. I need to counterattack, but the garrison's attitude is very important - before 9 PM tomorrow, even if they don't stand on my side, they can't stand on the opposite side," Li Mingsheng asked softly. "Do you understand my meaning?"

"Understood, I'll do my best!" Su Tianyu immediately responded.

"After running this errand, go find Jin Maohui - after his side investigates clearly, you lead people for the final cleanup," Li Mingsheng instructed straightforwardly. "I want the person alive."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu was somewhat confused: "I'm... I'm not a civil servant, and have no law enforcement authority - I lead a team to handle...?"

"In Dragon City, if I say you have it, you have it," Li Mingsheng replied smiling, waving to Li Yuan.

"Mayor!" Li Yuan walked over.

"Give him the written investigation order from the Administrative Yuan and Zone Anti-Terror Department," Li Mingsheng instructed.

Hearing this, Li Yuan took out from his chest an investigation order bearing signatures and seals from several departments including the Administrative Yuan and Zone Anti-Terror Department, personally handing it to Su Tianyu.

Li Mingsheng looked at Su Tianyu: "Do you know what this investigation order means?"

Su Tianyu hadn't encountered things at this level, so shook his head.

"The Zone Political Government, Administrative Yuan, Zone General Assembly - these are Zone One's three major power institutions. And the Zone Anti-Terror Department reports directly to the Administrative Yuan," Li Mingsheng patiently pointed at the investigation order saying: "This investigation order represents Zone authority for a certain time period - it can bypass all Dragon City judicial departments."

Su Tianyu was stunned for a while before blurting out: "So it's the emperor's sword!"
