Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

The middle-aged man's name was Niu Yishou.

Niu Yishou had a characteristic: he always liked to hold back in his actions.

When he was young, Niu Yishou served in the military. He could have gone further during those years in the service, his rank could have been higher, but precisely because of his tendency to always hold back, he ended up being forcefully retired after saving something for himself during a mission.

After his retirement, Niu Yishou was directly assigned to Tianhai City. After more than a decade of struggle, he had finally become the chief of the police station.

After dismissing his subordinates, Niu Yishou directly pushed open the door to the interrogation room and walked in.

Upon entering the interrogation room, Niu Yishou was immediately surprised.

At this moment, Zhu Bufan was sitting leisurely in the interrogation room with his hands in his pockets, legs crossed arrogantly, showing no fear of whatever was outside.

Deputy Chief Tian Zhentao and two other officers were there, their bodies covered with injuries and wearing only a pair of shorts barely covering their modesty.

Their hands and feet were tied, and they had been carelessly thrown into a corner next to the wall.

Dirty socks were stuffed into their mouths, and it was evident that the socks were not their own.

"Mmmph…"

When Deputy Chief Tian Zhentao and the two officers saw Niu Yishou come in, they immediately began to shout desperately, their eyes pleading for help.

But with socks in their mouths and their limbs bound, they could only dryly watch Niu Yishou.

"Are you the boss here?"

Zhu Bufan glanced casually at Niu Yishou as he entered, before finally speaking.

"You could say that. I'm the chief of this place!"

Instead of immediately freeing Tian Zhentao and the others, Niu Yishou felt a touch of schadenfreude watching Tian Zhentao being treated this way.

Tian Zhentao had always been arrogant and presumptuous, thinking himself above others due to some connections at the top.

How could Niu Yishou, who had long disliked Tian Zhentao, help him untie the knots at the first chance?

"Did you allow this to happen, or did you simply not know?" Zhu Bufan scrutinized the middle-aged man before speaking again.

Huh?

Niu Yishou was taken aback.

However, he quickly realized that as the chief of the station, anything done by his subordinates would definitely have to be sanctioned by him.

Zhu Bufan asking this question was either to assign blame or to probe.

Niu Yishou's expression soured.

"I am indeed the chief here, but his actions are not under my orders! And now, may I ask, are you Zhu Bufan? Do you have any proof?"

But Niu Yishou, with his military background, had smoothed his way through matters over the past decade and handled things with finesse.

So, Niu Yishou replied directly.

Hearing Niu Yishou say this, Zhu Bufan sized him up again before taking out his credentials and the military badge.

When Zhu Bufan presented his credentials and the Hidden Dragon Army Badge, Niu Yishou was stunned without even looking at the credentials.

The next moment, he straightened his body and gave Zhu Bufan a very standard military salute:

"Sir, good to see you…"

Sir?

Zhu Bufan was slightly taken aback.

Was this person of such significant standing?

Initially, Zhu Bufan's inquiry was intended to determine if Niu Yishou was in cahoots with Tian Zhentao, hence why he didn't reveal his identity right away.

Then, after questioning and observing, Zhu Bufan concluded that Niu Yishou was not allied with Tian Zhentao, and that's why he revealed his identity.

Upon revealing it, Zhu Bufan hadn't expected it to command such respect, making the station chief say with reverence: "Sir, good to see you."

Stupefied.

Tian Zhentao was stupefied.

The two officers were stupefied.

To have a station chief say "Sir" indicated a status of significant authority.

With their usual blustering and strong-arming, it looked like they had kicked an ironclad board today – and a particularly thick one at that!

More shocked than the three of them was Niu Yishou.

The Hidden Dragon Army Badge!!!

What did that imply?

The average person might not know, but could he, someone with military experience, be unaware?

The badge was not only a symbol of strength; it was a representation of power.

It's not just the local station chief—even the mayor of Tianhai City, if found breaking the law, could be directly dealt with by a member of the Hidden Dragon Team without needing to report upwards.

So, could a mere station chief like him not hold it in high regard?

Of course, that wasn't the most crucial part.

What's important was that every member of the Hidden Dragon Team was exceptionally strong.

Rumor had it that one member of the Hidden Dragon Team could withstand a small military force. In other words, a member of the Dragon Team could easily annihilate a small army single-handedly.

And without getting injured.

In face of such prowess, how could one not respect and regard them with importance?

Especially since Zhu Bufan was so young.

During his time in the military, Niu Yishou had heard about how challenging it was to be admitted into the Hidden Dragon Team.

Members had to be extremely strong in individual combat and possess abilities and temperaments far beyond ordinary people (of course, there are exceptions, such as Zhu Bufan and that woman named Na).

Niu Yishou had once seen the unique Hidden Dragon Army Badge of the Hidden Dragon Team by chance.

So, when Zhu Bufan took it out, he immediately recognized it.

"Sir, this Tian Zhentao has dared to collude with traitors to assassinate you, which is an unforgivable crime. Should I execute them on the spot…?"

Niu Yishou was genuinely scared, but after all, he was a man in his forties who had been through significant events, so he quickly recovered.

As he looked pitifully at Tian Zhentao, he immediately said to Zhu Bufan.

"Now that you know my identity, you must also be aware of what I did the day before. Due to the disparity in our status, I can't tell you too much. I can only say that I was on a mission, and as for them… they will be dealt with, but not until after I leave!"

Seeing that Zhu Bufan had such an imposing background, why not take advantage of it? Zhu Bufan started to bluff.

"As for how they will be dealt with, I hope you will satisfy me, or else… the consequences…"

"I understand… Sir!"

Having always disapproved of Tian Zhentao, and now with this favorable opportunity at hand, would Niu Yishou show any mercy?
