"Well, since everyone is here today, I would like to discuss three matters."
The Elder Grandmaster’s lips twitched. Without rushing to act, he wanted to see what this guy was up to.
He had a bad premonition in his heart.
This guy was just too calm.
He was confident and assured.
The Elder Grandmaster no longer wanted to meddle in this matter—after all, he wasn’t part of the Chu Family!
The most critical thing was that Big Brother Chu was already dead.
Only the other side could connect with that Chen Qiusheng.
Liu Yuan had already furrowed his brows and questioned coldly:
"Zhang Fusheng, just what are you trying to do?"
Zhang Fusheng didn’t answer. Instead, he spoke to himself:
"I have reviewed our Headquarters’ administrative regulations. When the position of Director General is vacant, a Deputy Director at the Realm-breaking Grandmaster level is prioritized to assume the role of acting Director General."
"After the Governor signs the administrative order, the ’acting’ designation is removed."
After a pause, he continued:
"Similarly, when the position of Deputy Director is vacant, an Assistant Commissioner with sufficient merit and qualifications is promoted—with no need for the Governor to personally sign an order."
"So."
"Based on the above, I have three suggestions."
He leaned against the door, slightly raised his eyelids, with a calm demeanor, and raised one finger:
"First, according to Headquarters’ administrative regulations, when there is a vacancy for the Director General, the three Deputy Directors can vote to remove a Deputy Director, passing with two votes in favor."
"I propose that we now initiate a removal process for a certain Deputy Director."
"Second, after the removal, I will immediately be promoted to the position of Deputy Director."
His calm words resonated within the conference room, even He Gaozhuo who knew a bit of the inside story was dumbfounded at this moment.
Everyone looked at this frail young man as if he were a fool.
Zhang Fusheng glanced around:
"Who agrees with these two proposals, and who opposes?"
The conference room fell silent, everyone sensed something was amiss, yet no one dared to speak.
The Elder Grandmaster took a step back.
Deputy Director Wang furrowed his brow, nodded towards an Assistant Commissioner, who gritted his teeth and knocked heavily on the table:
"I object....."
’Bang!!’
His head exploded with a loud bang.
At some point, Zhang Fusheng appeared beside that Assistant and looked at the slumped corpse.
A scorching furnace hovered behind his head. Under the watchful eyes of all, he walked calmly behind Deputy Director Wang,
wiping the blood on his hands on the other’s clothes, over and over.
Zhang Fusheng pressed down on Deputy Director Wang’s shoulders,
the blazing furnace behind him slowly flickered and burned, as dazzling as the sun.
Body Furnace Fire.
The symbol of a Grandmaster.
The Elder Grandmaster’s eyelids twitched wildly, and a drop of sweat rolled down his forehead, such an intense Body Furnace Fire.....
"Now, let me ask again."
"Who agrees, and who opposes?"
The clear voice echoed within the conference room. Deputy Director Wang, whose shoulders were being held, was drenched in sweat, his whole body bristling with fear as his scalp tingled.
This time, no one spoke.
Even Old Liu was stunned in place.
"Very good."
"Then the third proposal."
"After the removal, I will be promoted to Deputy Director and then directly assume the role of acting Director General."
"Also....."
Zhang Fusheng hesitated for a moment:
"As for the removal candidate, I think Deputy Director Liu is very suitable."
"Who agrees with this proposal, and who opposes?"
The conference room was deathly silent, and that illusory furnace flame rose slightly.
Zhang Fusheng frowned:
"Who agrees?"
His tone rose a little, Deputy Director Wang, whose shoulders were being held, was drenched in sweat, raised a trembling hand.
Then it was He Gaozhuo, followed by one Assistant Commissioner after another, and finally Liu Yuan, whose entire body screamed and warned as he was stared at with a smile by Zhang Fusheng.
Everyone raised their hands.
"Very well!"
"Unanimous approval!"
Zhang Fusheng clapped with a smile, walked up, and removed Liu Yuan’s epaulet:
"You old dog, you harbored much ill will towards me in the past, scheming against me, and wanting to use me as a scapegoat—I don’t blame you."
"Ignorance is not a crime."
He grasped Liu Yuan’s head and gently rotated it, making Old Liu face him directly, to look him in the eye.
"Now, look into my eyes, are you angry?"
Old Liu’s legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground.
Zhang Fusheng shook his head disinterestedly, and said blandly:
"You did help me a little bit—though it was an equal exchange."
"Here’s the deal, you go find the Governor, have him approve the administrative order to remove the ’acting’ designation from my title. If successful, I’ll consider that merit on your part, pardon you, and restore you to your Deputy Director position."
"If not, I’ll just kill you, how about that?"
Liu Yuan nodded shakily, his whole being in a daze.
Grandmaster.
How could he be a Grandmaster??
’Gulp!’
Liu Yuan swallowed hard, his mind muddled, still feeling as if he was in a dream.
Why.
If you are a Grandmaster, why didn’t you say so from the beginning??
Trembling, a sigh echoed in his heart—this is painful!
Zhang Fusheng finally looked at the Elder Grandmaster, excitedly licking his lips:
"Now, regarding the Chu Family’s matter..."
"Old Mr. Chu was killed by the eldest son."
The Elder Grandmaster decisively spoke, stepping forward, tightly gripping Zhang Fusheng’s hand, and shook it vigorously:
"You avenged Old Mr. Chu, killed that unfilial son. On behalf of the Chu Family, thank you, thank you..."
Zhang Fusheng blinked, a sudden change in demeanor?
Feeling somewhat uneasy, he stared at the Elder Grandmaster:
"Who is in charge of the Chu Family now?"
The Elder Grandmaster forced a dry laugh:
"Naturally, it should be the second son..."
"Hmm."
Zhang Fusheng shook off his hand, feeling a bit of disappointment—he even wanted to practice on a Grandmaster.
Nevermind then.
"I have some matters to attend to right now."
Zhang Fusheng glanced at his watch and said calmly:
"Tell him to see me in the afternoon, bring two cups of tea, and I will take him as my registered disciple."
In the conference room, everyone swallowed, instantly understanding his intentions.
He intended to, in this situation, swallow the entire Chu Family.....
"...Yes!" The Elder Grandmaster lowered his head.
Living to this age, achieving Grandmaster status, he was not foolish.
He understood deeply that there were differences between Grandmasters.
While he had climbed to Grandmaster through years and perseverance, the man before him.....
The same principle held.
He was not part of the Chu Family!
It would be foolish to clash with such a young Grandmaster because of the Chu Family!
Moreover, a massive entity stood behind the other party...
Thinking of this, the Elder Grandmaster’s smile became more amiable, even carrying a touch of flattery.
At this moment.
The illusory fire behind Zhang Fusheng receded into his body,
an Assistant Commissioner already approached with a Level 2 Inspector’s epaulet.
Zhang Fusheng took it casually and put it on.
"If I remember correctly, the Director General has the power to declare citywide lockdown."
Zhang Fusheng said calmly:
"Now, I am issuing my first directive as Director General."
"In three days, a large-scale security and anti-riot drill will be carried out, with a five-day lockdown and curfew enforced."
In three days, is when the Headquarter auditors will arrive.
"Additionally."
Zhang Fusheng opened the conference room door and said calmly:
"Mobilize all law enforcement teams."
"Request cooperation from the Investigation Branch for documents on investigating cultists, and apply for a joint operation, and execute special capture regulations."
He turned back, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and lightly said:
"Aren’t you going to do it yet?"
With those words.
In the large conference room, every Deputy Director and Assistant Commissioner started to act,
Outside the conference room, Lin Changle, who was passing by, looked at this scene, at the command-giving ’Vice Director Zhang’, in awe.
