Chapter 589 3 days limit
Following the man in red robes through the courtyard, Shen Xu entered the top floor room of the tallest building in the Hall of Law Enforcement.
There are no superfluous decorations here; the majority of the space consists of documents and files, filling three walls.
On the huge desk in the center, messy documents were piled up like a small mountain.
"Master, I've brought the person." The man in red robes said respectfully to the middle-aged man in black robes who was writing furiously at the desk.
Upon hearing this, the man didn't even bother to look up. His emotionless voice reached Shen Xu's ears, "Leave the person here, you can leave."
"Your subordinate obeys." The man in the red robe bowed respectfully, then turned and left, gently closing the door behind him.
Seeing that the hall master didn't have time to pay attention to him, Shen Xu found a seat and sat down, then closed his eyes to rest.
He hasn't had a proper rest since arriving in Danding City; he has a ton of things to learn and do every day.
Now that it has already happened, we might as well take this opportunity to rest and recuperate.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xu was awakened by a soft knock on the door.
He opened his eyes and found that it was the silver-armored youth who had taken him away.
The silver-armored youth was clearly surprised to see him.
Sensing the arrival of the silver-armored youth, the man in black robes finally looked up from his desk and asked, "Tell me your investigation results?"
"Reporting to the Master, the case of Feng's Pharmacy has been basically solved."
Wu Hen of Feng Clan Pharmacy only injured people, not killed them. The rogue cultivator named Qiao Pan died by severing his own meridians, which was unrelated to the wounds inflicted by Wu Hen.
There were no traces of Shoumei red dates found on his body, indicating that his claims about Feng's pharmacy were false.
As for the reason why he caused trouble at Feng's Pharmacy, I have not yet investigated. I request that you, Master, punish him accordingly.
"No need to investigate further. Just punish Wu Hen according to regulations. The case involving Feng's Pharmacy can be closed."
"Aren't you going to ask me, the person involved, for my opinion? I want to appeal, and I want to find the person behind this."
"Hey! Don't pretend I don't exist!" Shen Xu thought to himself, cursing wildly.
"Understood!" The silver-armored youth bowed slightly.
"Boss Wu, I wonder if there's any progress on the medicinal herbs that Dan City entrusted you to find?" The man in black robes suddenly looked at Shen Xu.
"This... we're looking for it," Shen Xu replied, forcing himself to speak. He hadn't even seen the face of the Dark Pavilion yet.
What are you looking for? Are you looking for death?
"Although Feng's Pharmacy has changed owners, your transaction with Dan City is still valid. I hope Boss Wu will not tarnish the reputation of Feng's Pharmacy when Boss Qian was in charge."
"Aren't you arresting me just tarnishing the reputation of Feng's Pharmacy?" Shen Xu thought to himself, cursing wildly.
"I'm only giving you three days. If you still can't give Dan City a satisfactory answer after three days..."
I will explain to Boss Qian that you are not qualified to manage Feng's Pharmacy, and suggest that they appoint a more suitable person to take over.
"What the hell!"
Shen Xu took a deep breath. He learned from Chi Xiaorou that he was now involved with many people.
If he is removed from office after only a few days, it will be a great humiliation to the prestige of certain important figures in Fengyu Tower, and his fate will probably not be good.
"Isn't three days a bit short?" Shen Xu asked tentatively.
“I think the higher-ups sent a young man like you to Dan Ding City because they value your abilities. Three days is my standard for capable people, while those without ability are not suitable to stay in Dan Ding City.”
"My lord, you may not know this, but I am not actually the person in charge of finding medicinal herbs at Feng's Pharmacy. I have many other jobs to do. Are you making me go through too much trouble by insisting that I find medicinal herbs?"
"I think a pharmacy owner should have the ability to find good medicinal herbs."
Boss Qian is a very good leader of Feng's Pharmacy. You should learn from him.
Also, if you're short-handed, Liufeng can help you. You're all young, so you'll likely have a lot to talk about.
After speaking, the man in black robes buried his head once again in the mountain of documents on his desk.
"Let me introduce myself, Ye Liufeng, a true disciple of Ningchuan Sect. I hope you will give me your guidance over the next three days, Boss Wu."
The silver-haired youth revealed a playful smile, clearly already aware of this matter.
"Wu Hen, a nobody! Can I go back now?" Shen Xu asked irritably.
"Of course, but only after you've paid the fine."
"How many?"
"By blatantly violating the regulations of Danding City on Dingyuan Avenue, the victim suffered severe injuries to all four limbs and lost the ability to move. The circumstances were extremely serious and the impact was exceptionally bad."
In this situation, according to regulations, Boss Wu has two options: either spend ten years in prison or pay a fine of 10,000 Yangyuan Pills.
Which one will Mr. Wu choose?
"You guys..." Shen Xu was about to say something, but when he thought of the big shot next to him, he immediately calmed down.
"I choose to pay the fine."
……
When Shen Xu returned to Feng's Pharmacy, his gaze turned cold upon seeing the tightly closed doors.
It's not a big deal that he was imprisoned, since he didn't suffer any humiliating treatment.
But he had just promised Lao Qian to take good care of Feng's Pharmacy, and before long, someone was willing to tarnish the brand in an attempt to bring him down.
The clay figurine still has some anger.
He originally planned to stay in Dan Ding City for a while as a token gesture before finding a way to resign that would satisfy both parties.
But since someone is so eager to take his place, he insists on staying and refusing to leave.
He knocked on the door, and soon Manager Wei opened it a crack and peeked out, his face immediately lighting up with delight. "Master!"
"Third Miss is truly resourceful. She said she would rescue you, Master, very soon, and before the day was even over, you were back..."
Ever since he entered the pharmacy, Manager Wei had been nagging him incessantly, which annoyed him.
"Manager Wei, please inform the others to come to the pharmacy as usual tomorrow. We can't let my situation disrupt the pharmacy's business."
"Okay! I'll go right away."
True friendship is revealed in times of trouble. The fact that Manager Wei still spoke up for him in that situation shows that this person is trustworthy.
After sending Manager Wei away, Shen Xu went to Tingyuxuan, located deep inside the first floor.
Sitting in his chair, Shen Xu took out an extra note from his drawer and couldn't help but sneer as he looked at what was written on it.
Besides answering the questions he had asked, Chi Xiaorou also said that her superiors wouldn't allow her to help him, so she couldn't do anything about his situation and he would have to overcome this difficulty on his own.
"Well! They all want me dead!"
He is now truly all alone in Dan Ding City.
Although it's unclear which high-ranking official in the Fengyu Tower placed him in this position, those three days were definitely given to him out of respect for that person.
His condition for joining Fengyulou was that Fengyulou would classify his information as top secret.
If he fails to seize the opportunity, being sidelined by Fengyulou is not a big deal; what he fears is that his information will be easily sold.
For the sake of the peaceful life he had finally achieved, and also to let those who were prepared to devour his flesh and blood eat a mouthful of excrement.
He had to complete that task.
