I Have Infinite Skill Points

Wang Lan didn't like playing with cars, but he knew how to drive. Before Wang Ling went missing, Wang Lan had been taken by her to learn how to drive in one of their sports cars when he was very young. At that time, Wang Lan wore an expression as if he had seen through the vanity of the world.

"Mom, do you think it's appropriate to put a seven-year-old child in the driver's seat?" young Wang Lan had once asked, a question that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.

Although Wang Lan was an experienced driver in his past life, at that time his arms and legs were so short that if he reached for the brake or accelerator, he couldn't see over the car's hood. Driving? Wasn't that courting death?

"Black Girl can already drive. Lan, you're so smart; surely you're not worse than Black Girl, right?"

Black Girl was a German Shepherd raised by Wang Ling, purebred and highly intelligent. A special agent among dogs, skilled in all sorts of tricks. But no matter how smart, a dog was still a dog.

Black Girl was already five years old when Wang Lan was born, so she had passed away from old age a few years prior.

From this, one could see that no matter how prestigious the Flame Emperor of the Jade Country was, Wang Ling had her quirky side in private. Her thought process wasn't exactly normal.

After Wang Ling disappeared, Wang Lan lived in Suzhou City. In such a densely populated metropolis, driving anywhere was inconvenient and not as satisfying as riding an electric scooter. As a result, Wang Lan rarely drove.

If he hadn't been bringing Xie Sisi with him today, Wang Lan probably would have taken an electric scooter instead.

Isn't it nice to whip through the wind at a full speed of eighty miles per hour?

He started the car and skillfully engaged the gears.

Wang Lan lightly pressed a button, and the seatbelts automatically fastened. Xie Sisi watched with curious eyes the entire time; all these things were too far removed from her life.

Driving onto the elevated highway, they left the industrial park, reached the New District, and then turned into the entrance of the Han Ding Platinum Hotel.

This was a five-star hotel in the New District, covering an extremely large area. Its grand entrance resembled that of a major tourist attraction.

"Get out."

After getting out of the car with Xie Sisi, they walked towards the hotel. Just as they entered, a receptionist in a qipao came to greet them.

"Good evening, sir. Are you looking for a room?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Xie Sisi, who was standing next to Wang Lan, her eyes filled with a hint of envy. They had all seen the car Wang Lan arrived in. Although it had no visible emblem, in this world, cars without obvious logos were the truly impressive ones.

Then a man and a woman got out of the car and headed straight for the hotel. Based on the receptionist's extensive experience, it was clearly some rich heir bringing his girlfriend to get a room.

The receptionist even subconsciously sized up Xie Sisi's face. I don't look bad either, do I? Aside from not being as innocently youthful as her, I should be better in other aspects.

Why haven't I ever encountered such good fortune?

"Tianjian Bureau, official business," Wang Lan said, pulling out his badge and holding it in front of the receptionist. Her expression immediately became serious.

"Huh?"

"A criminal is staying in your hotel, room 705. You should have a key, right?"

"Yes, yes! Could you please come over to verify the credentials?" The lobby manager hurried over and professionally guided Wang Lan to the side.

After swiftly completing the verification, a trace of fear appeared on the lobby manager's face. It wasn't Wang Lan he feared, but the guest in room 705. For the Tianjian Bureau to come for someone this late at night, they must be an extremely vicious criminal.

He's a little flustered now. What should he do?

Led by the lobby manager, they arrived at the room door. The manager keyed in the code to open it, and Wang Lan and Xie Sisi stepped inside.

It was more of a suite than a regular room. Although there was only one bedroom, a huge living room was right by the entrance. Opposite the living room was a balcony of over ten square meters.

Wang Lan switched on lights as he went, heading straight for the bedroom and opening the door.

"Fuck! Who the fuck turned on the lights?!" an irate roar erupted. A naked, middle-aged man sat up in bed, squinting and shouting.

On his bed were two equally naked young women, looking to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.

"Is it him?"

"It's him!" Xie Sisi said, gritting her teeth.

"Zhang Zhiyun, you're under arrest! Come with me!"

"Who the fuck are you? Kid, do you know who I am...?"

Wang Lan had no time for his bluster. A single karate chop silenced him completely.

"AHH—" At that moment, the two women who had been asleep on the bed were startled awake and let out terrified screams.

Wang Lan paid them no attention and directly carried Zhang Zhiyun away.

Driving back to the Xinyu Building, Zhang Zhiyun was tied to a chair in the training area. But Wang Lan hesitated about what to do next. His previous plan had seemed solid: capture Zhang Zhiyun, then interrogate him about how he drugged Xie Sisi and who had instructed him.

But as good as the plan was, the execution turned out to be completely different from what he had anticipated.

Zhang Zhiyun remained defiantly silent, vehemently proclaiming his innocence and even daring to threaten Wang Lan, accusing him of kidnapping.

Since Zhang Zhiyun dared to drug Xie Sisi, it surely wasn't his first time engaging in this kind of business; he was very practiced. He would have meticulously disposed of any evidence long ago. The drug he used was a high-end product, one that modern medicine would struggle to detect. This was the source of his confidence in targeting a Star Martial Warrior.

Now, with Zhang Zhiyun acting emboldened and taking a tough stance, Wang Lan truly had no idea how to handle the situation. Torture him for a confession? I don't seem to have any experience in that area. After half an hour of interrogation without getting much, Wang Lan had only managed to make Xie Sisi cry twice.

It's true what they say: every trade has its master. Alright then! Wang Lan picked up his phone and called Xu Shiyun.

"Listen, kid, don't think I'm scared just because you're hiding behind the Tianjian Bureau's name. The Tianjian Bureau doesn't have jurisdiction over ordinary people like us. You say I drugged that bitch? Screw you! Does she even need drugging? I've slept with her countless times."

"You... I'll kill you—" Xie Sisi, trembling with rage, lunged at Zhang Zhiyun, ready to tear him apart.

"Go on, try it. If you leave even the slightest mark on me, it'll be evidence in court. Medical bills, nutritional expenses, compensation for lost work... I'll make sure your parents pay up a million or more! Go ahead, touch me. I dare you."

Xie Sisi's whole body shook with fury, but she really didn't dare to lay a finger on him.

Seeing Xie Sisi so enraged yet helpless only made Zhang Zhiyun even more smug.

"Go ahead, tie me up. It doesn't matter. The hotel staff knows my whereabouts. If my family doesn't hear from me within twenty-four hours, they'll call the police. You can assault me, even kill me, it's fine—you won't get away with it. Kid, you're from the Tianjian Bureau; you're tough, I admit. But this is a society ruled by law. Whether you're Star Martial Warriors or whatever, you're all bound by the law. You don't have evidence, so you can't do anything to me. Hell, I can even sue you. Kid, just let me go. Messing with me won't do you any good..."

Wang Lan turned a deaf ear, simply sitting to the side and waiting patiently.

About twenty minutes later, a car pulled into the underground garage. Besides Xu Shiyun, who was in plain clothes, there were four Tianjian Bureau warriors in green military uniforms.

Wang Lan quickly went to greet them. "Xu, sorry to trouble you so late. I feel bad about this."

"Cut it out. We're brothers; why the formality?" Xu Shiyun gestured to the four men behind him. "You know them, so no introductions needed. What's the situation?"

Wang Lan recounted Xie Sisi's situation to Xu Shiyun in detail. After listening, Xu Shiyun looked at Wang Lan with an astonished expression.

"And you can't handle this?"

"It's not that I don't know how... well, actually, I don't. But I knew Xu would know what to do. We just need to get him to confess to drugging Xie Sisi and who instructed him."

"You and your classmate... what's your relationship?"

"Just classmates. When something like this happens, I can't just pretend I didn't see it, right? The law is meant to constrain the behavior of us Star Martial Warriors, but it shouldn't be exploited by criminals as a weapon to frame us, should it?"

"Sigh..." Xu Shiyun shook his head with a wry smile. "You kid, I really don't know what to say about you. Yes, this is a society governed by law, and you're a good, law-abiding kid. But have you forgotten your identity? You're a Law Enforcer, aren't you? A lieutenant in the Tianjian Bureau, and you're helpless against a common thug? Don't let word of this get out; my intelligence department can't afford that embarrassment."

Wang Lan was speechless.

"What? Still feeling indignant? Let me put it this way: even if you beat him to death right now, nothing would happen to you." Xu Shiyun slowly walked over to Zhang Zhiyun. "Or, to save trouble, why not just kill him here?"

"Hey, who the hell are you people? You... you trying to scare me? You think I was born yesterday?"

"Heh. Still won't cry until you see the coffin, huh? Alright, put him in the vehicle and take him away."

The four men efficiently untied Zhang Zhiyun, then escorted him into the van.

"Wang Lan, you might not fully understand the nature of our Tianjian Bureau. For us, killing an ordinary person is as easy as child's play. We can just slap them with the charge of collaborating with the Demon Clan or being a traitor to humanity, and that's it."

Xu Shiyun's words made Wang Lan shiver.

"This... isn't right, is it?"

Xu Shiyun continued, "You know the Tianjian Bureau reports directly to the Ministry of Defense, and you know all our work is classified. Haven't you ever thought about what kind of organization the Tianjian Bureau truly is? We don't need to answer to the public or explain ourselves to them. We hold the ultimate right of interpretation. In ancient times, we would be the Guard, the Eastern and Western Factories. Authorized by state law to act first and report later—that's the Tianjian Bureau."

Xu Shiyun's words indeed shook Wang Lan profoundly, but he still felt something was off. If the Tianjian Bureau is truly like that, then people should turn pale at the mere mention of it, just like in my memories of history. For example, the Military Unity or Unity from historical records of my past life. But the public's impression of the Tianjian Bureau isn't fear; they just find it mysterious and even dare to joke about it, calling it 'the relevant department'.

"Xu, if the Tianjian Bureau really has that much power... isn't that a bit much?"

"You don't like having great power? You're one of us too. Besides, although the Tianjian Bureau has this power, have you ever seen anyone abuse it? Do you think the Law Enforcement Department is just for show? Do you think the annual political reviews are fake? We have this authority, but we don't abuse it. At the same time, we have the right to adapt and act according to the circumstances. Take that scumbag, for example. We know he's human dregs, a menace if left alive, so why bother with courtesy? Use your special privileges to eliminate him, and the higher-ups won't blame you. Our special privileges are for dealing with such degenerates and scum. Forget it. In time, when you've become a seasoned old hand, you'll understand. Leave this man to me; I'll take care of him for you."

"How are you going to 'take care of him'? I have a bad feeling about... his fate."

"We'll determine his fate after the interrogation. It's late; I'm heading back. I'll let you know the outcome."

With that, Xu Shiyun waved, turned, got back into the car, and drove away.
