Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change

Chapter 18: Those Who Obey Me Will Prosper, Those Who Oppose Me Will Perish

Meng Zhou was stunned and quickly realized that his police system had suddenly malfunctioned, leaving him with no authority!

In this world where everyone changed careers, everything could be digitized and systematized. The police system was an embedded system panel for officers.

Police could use the system to view their authority and rank. As the head of the Donghai City Police Department, Meng Zhou could use the system to control and manage thousands of officers under his jurisdiction.

But now, to his horror, Meng Zhou found that he couldn’t access the police system. This meant that he had been removed from the police system!

Meng Zhou was dumbfounded. He looked at Qin Xian, who wore a faint smile and was about to say something. Then he received a call from the Empire’s Supervisory Department.

An indifferent, almost emotionless voice sounded, “Former Chief of Donghai City Police Department, Meng Zhou, you are suspected of endangering national security and have been relieved of all duties at the police department.”

“Please proceed to the Donghai Provincial Supervisory Office for questioning within two hours. Failure to comply will result in charges of intentional flight, and you will be nationally wanted.”

The call ended, leaving Meng Zhou in a state of shock. Not only was Meng Zhou shocked, but all the other police officers also received the same notice in their systems.

Everyone was stunned.

Donghai City, as the capital of the Donghai Province, held a significant position, and the rank of police chief was akin to a second-level police inspector, a notable official in the entire province.

Meng Zhou had climbed from a mere officer, earning countless merits and working diligently. He was valued by Chen Beiguo and spent over twenty years to reach this position. Yet, with just one call from Qin Xian, he became a prisoner!

Suspected of endangering national security? Who did he endanger? Wasn’t it just that he stood in Qin Xian’s way? Everyone looked blankly at Qin Xian. Who was this young man, after all!?

They couldn’t shake off the thought of Qin Xian’s words.

“Police chief? Now you’re not.” 

What tyranny is this!? Anyone standing in Qin Xian’s way, even a police chief, could be dismissed just like that! Those who obey me will prosper; those who oppose me will perish!

Meng Zhou’s face turned pale, knowing well that Supervisory Office Chief Feng Anjun was the head of the Donghai Feng family. They were Qin family people and had always been at odds with Governor Chen Beiguo.

Even if Chen Beiguo intervened to protect him, at most, he’d avoid punishment. The position of police chief was out of reach. 

No, he was even removed from the police system. He could never set foot in policing again in this lifetime…

Two decades of effort went up in smoke. The level 40 powerhouse, Meng Zhou, felt dizzy, barely able to stand!

He gave Qin Xian a long look, lowered his head, gave a bitter, desperate smile to Chen Lingxi beside him, and then turned and left, appearing incredibly desolate.

He needed to reach the Supervisory Office for questioning within two hours. Otherwise, even if Chen Beiguo intervened, it wouldn’t help!

……….

Watching Meng Zhou’s desolate departure, Qin Xian maintained his smile, but to everyone else, that smile seemed terrifying…

For a moment, everyone fell silent and no one dared to stop Qin Xian anymore. After all, even the police chief was dismissed. Who dared to step forward!?

Chen Lingxi didn’t know what to say. At that moment, she finally understood the terror of the Qin family…

Her father, Chen Beiguo, was the governor of Donghai Province, cultivating the Chen family’s influence there for nearly twenty years, but even Chen Beiguo couldn’t achieve this…

Because Meng Zhou wasn’t just relieved of his duties; he was directly removed from the police system!

This was something only the Empire’s Police Department could do. This meant that Qin Xian, with a mere thought, mobilized the Empire’s Police Department and Supervisory Department, two powerful entities!

Such was the power of authority…

However, Chen Lingxi’s dissatisfaction grew. Though the governor’s daughter, she detested such abuse of power. In her view, the empire’s increasingly chaotic situation stemmed from this!

These noble families truly misused public tools for private gain! Especially Qin Xian, who not only violated the empire’s laws by disrupting the awakening ceremony but now openly acted in the city, causing numerous civilian casualties!

Chen Lingxi could no longer bear it and scolded Qin Xian: “Qin Xian, I know you are the young master of the Qin family! But even the Qin family cannot violate the empire’s laws!”

“Disrupting the awakening ceremony, according to the empire’s laws, warrants ten years of exile to the void frontline! I will report this to the Regent Government and let the Regent decide. I refuse to believe the Shenlong Empire has no law left!” 

Originally, Chen Lingxi planned to deal with this gradually and didn’t intend to escalate matters, knowing well that provoking the Qin family wouldn’t end well.

Even with the Chen family backed by Lord Lu Ji, things wouldn’t be easy. But today’s events filled her with uncontrollable anger.

Her feminine sensibilities overpowered her rationality, driving her to tear the situation open completely.

She intended to take this matter to Regent Lord Lu Ji!
