Sha Xinliang's gaze was icy as he said, "Xiao Yulong, did you say these words? Is there even one character wrong?"
With a thunderous shout, a fierce light suddenly shot out from his eyes, locking onto Xiao Yulong's gaze.
Xiao Yulong's nerves were already nearly shattered. At this moment, having been sealed, he couldn't withstand such soul-binding divine skill. Instantly, he was subdued.
Then he began to spill everything, repeating the events verbatim. Everyone listened intently, comparing with the testimony, and it was nearly word for word.
The three people captured alongside Xiao Yulong sighed simultaneously, knowing that it was all over.
They didn’t even have the chance to change their statements, and moreover, the Xiao Clan would face significant trouble!
Who would have thought, just to deal with a kid who had barely been in the area for three days and a small clinic at Ping Sha Ridge, would cause such a massive upheaval?
Then, Sha Xinliang distributed a copy of the testimony to each person for signing. At this point, denying it was useless: besides, Sha Xinliang possessed that kind of divine skill capable of controlling people's hearts and minds. Even if they went against him, he could still manage it. Although that skill couldn't completely force someone to perform difficult actions, signing a name or pressing a fingerprint was still a piece of cake.
Holding a thick stack of testimonies, Sha Xinliang's gaze was as cold as ice: "Take these few people down, throw them into the death row cell, and separate them. Every day, let them experience some comfort. They want to cut off my path to life; how can they be lightly spared? As for the original six, just mess with them; their lives or deaths are inconsequential!"
He snorted heavily and said, "The ironclad case is laid out. Now, I want to see how the Xiao Clan plans to explain this! Are our law enforcers merely targets for the Xiao Clan to kill? Is openly resisting law enforcement the usual tactic and family rule of the Xiao Clan?" The four individuals in front of him suddenly turned pale and passed out simultaneously.
Watching these four pitiful creatures being taken away, Sha Xinliang waved his hand, dismissing the others, leaving only the ten "severely injured" law enforcers and Chu Yang. Once the people had left, he softly said, "Get up."
The ten of them simultaneously rolled over and got up.
Sha Xinliang said, "After your compensation arrives, each of you should properly settle your families. If anyone wants to become a dark guard enforcer, you can propose it now. This seat will arrange for you a record of not dying in vain and allow you to join the dark guard enforcers."
The ten of them were overjoyed.
After a busy half-day, Sha Xinliang finally had time to speak with Chu Yang: "Little brother, what do you think?"
"Magnificent! Truly magnificent! Like a towering mountain!" Chu Yang praised wholeheartedly, giving a thumbs up: "The methods of my elder brother are truly like turning clouds and rain. The approach is clean and decisive, and I am astounded."
Sha Xinliang chuckled.
Chu Yang deliberated and said, "But this seems a bit excessive; I fear you might offend the Xiao Clan..."
Sha Xinliang sighed and said, "Little brother, you don't understand. Among us law enforcers, there aren't many good people. There are many who are greedy and lustful!
Corruption and lawlessness are not uncommon, but it all depends on the circumstances." "Even if we law enforcers are bad, we have to wear this uniform and fulfill this duty.
In our hearts, there is naturally a sense of responsibility! Moreover, every district has annual evaluations to determine performance and promotions. Evaluations are based on the stability and safety of the district! Even if it's not for the benefit of the common people, for our own promotions, we must maintain at least the surface stability!"
"So generally, before this, if anything happens, it can be brushed aside."
Sha Xinliang chuckled bitterly: "But this time, Xiao Yulong has gone too far, and with that short fat guy's incident, my district has no hope this year! Since there's no hope, why should I hold back? I might as well use the Xiao Clan to establish authority! This might still salvage some influence from above. So it doesn’t matter if I offend the Xiao Clan. If law enforcers never offend anyone, they would be stripped of their qualifications..." Chu Yang nodded, contemplating: "I see."
