Usually, it's the Security Bureau doing the cursing, but today it's the first time we're getting cursed at.

You know what, it's quite refreshing...

There's actually a bizarre feeling of... shock and satisfaction inside.

"We are from the Security Bureau." After hesitating for a moment, the team leader Dong Zhiyi quickly spoke up to identify himself.

A person's reputation and a tree's shadow.

In the minds of the citizens of the Phoenix Empire, the Security Bureau and the Monitoring Bureau are the most terrifying entities in existence.

The bureaucracy has two mouths, what goes in doesn't come out.

Now that the Monitoring Bureau is in a semi-paralyzed state, only the Security Bureau stands out on its own....

Even its power is more prosperous than before.

So I ask, are you scared?

"I don't care which bureau you are from, what gives you the right to disturb this lady's sleep in the middle of the night? Do you know that such behavior makes us common people feel very insecure..."

Sheng Xinhua clutched the collar of her pajamas with both hands, brazen and arrogant like a shrew on a tirade: "If all departments handled things like you do, how are we supposed to live?"

"I have severe depression, just took my anti-depressants, and managed to get a good sleep, only to be woken up by you... How are you going to compensate me for my loss?"

"If anything happens to my health, can you afford the consequences?"

Clearly, this is a woman who is not afraid of the power of the Security Bureau.

Dong Zhiyi naturally knew Sheng Xinhua's true identity, but he had to pretend not to know and couldn't afford to offend her too much...

Striking this balance was very difficult.

"A major suspect has been found in the Lake View District. For the safety of the residents, the Security Bureau is conducting a search of the entire community... If we have disturbed you in any way, please forgive us."

"I don't forgive you." Sheng Xinhua stood blocking the door, scolding: "Hurry up and get lost, this lady wants to go back to sleep."

"Miss, you're making it very difficult for us." Dong Zhiyi's face was troubled, and he threatened: "We have orders from our superiors to check every household in the Lake View District... If you refuse, we will arrest you for obstructing official duties."

"Go ahead, arrest me, get it over with." Sheng Xinhua reached out both hands, shouting: "They say the Security Bureau's gates are easy to enter but hard to leave, I want to see how long that bald Guo Nu can lock me up."

"..."

Dong Zhiyi's facial muscles twitched.

Facing this fierce woman who openly insulted their Director Guo Nu as bald, he really didn't know what more intense attitude to take.

If they find something, that's fine, but if they don't...

Guess who'll be facing the Finance Minister's wrath then?

Seeing Dong Zhiyi speechless, Sheng Xinhua pressed her advantage, her attitude getting nastier: "Still not leaving? Waiting for me to invite you in for a midnight snack?"

"Miss, please support our work." Dong Zhiyi knew he had a task to complete tonight, and wouldn't dare leave with his team now: "Let us in so we can have a look... If no danger is found and there's nothing suspicious, we'll leave immediately and not disturb your rest."

"Is this lady's bedroom somewhere any random person can enter? If this gets out, won't my reputation be ruined because of you? I'm an unmarried woman... Are you trying to harm me?"

"We wouldn't dare." Dong Zhiyi hurried to explain: "You know, we're also thinking about the safety of the Empire's citizens... Otherwise, we wouldn't be willing to work overtime in the middle of the night, knocking on doors and disturbing people, wouldn't you say?"

"My safety is none of your concern, I'll take care of my own safety. You all, leave at once."

"Miss, if you refuse, we'll have no choice but to force our way in." Dong Zhiyi knew this woman was difficult and realized entering without offending anyone was now impossible.

Sheng Xinhua stared at the man's face, asking, "What's your name?"

"..."

"Why? Not even brave enough to say your name?"

"Miss, I am Dong Zhiyi, leader of the third squad of the seventh division of the Security Bureau."

"Dong Zhiyi, tell me... will you still be in your position after tonight?"

"..."

"Quite the big talk Miss Sheng has."

A man's sneering voice came from behind.

Dong Zhiyi immediately stepped aside, stood straight, saluted, and said: "Reporting to the Director, it's my incompetence."

Slap!

Guo Nu slapped Dong Zhiyi across the face.

This fool!

Originally, all he needed to do was pretend to not know this woman's identity and forcibly enter to search... wasn't this always how it was done?

Since when does the Security Bureau reason with people like this?

You stand there at the door, afraid to enter, don't you think they'll notice how guilty you are?

Unfortunately, because he was afraid for his life and fearful of the Sheng Family's power, he hesitated until now and still hasn't entered.

Now, they can't pretend to not know Sheng Xinhua's identity anymore.

After all, she's already insulted him in public as 'bald'.

With this in mind, Guo Nu couldn't help but touch his own head: Clearly, I have hair.

Dong Zhiyi's cheek bore a handprint, swelling red rapidly.

But Dong Zhiyi remained silent, not even daring to meet Guo Nu's eyes.

He knew this director's temper wasn't good, especially after Yan Wenli, known as 'Mad Dog', disappeared, his arrogance had grown unchecked.

Sheng Xinhua watched coldly, fixing her gaze on Guo Nu, she said: "Director Guo has quite the commanding presence."

"Compared to Miss Sheng, I'm nothing." Guo Nu's triangular eyes scanned Sheng Xinhua with malice, knowing that this was a woman he couldn't have, yet a strong possessive desire still lingered: "I personally heard Miss Sheng threaten the Empire's law enforcement officers."

At this moment, Sheng Xinhua was truly enticing, like a luscious blooming begonia, full of allure.

How unfortunate, why did she have to be the daughter of Sheng Jing?

Hmm, if they could establish a connection between Tang Fei and the Sheng Family...

If the Sheng Family toppled, would I then have a chance to enjoy this thorny rose?

"Has Director Guo been waiting outside for a long time? What's the play here? Does the Security Bureau plan to take action against the Sheng Family?"

"Miss Sheng, don't weigh me down with such heavy accusations; Old Guo can't bear them." Guo Nu waved his hand, smiling as he looked at Sheng Xinhua, saying: "We're not targeting anyone, especially not the Sheng Family... you can ask around, we've searched every household in the Lake View District."

"I'm just curious, why did things become problematic when it came to Miss Sheng? Why is Miss Sheng so fiercely blocking our law enforcement officers... Could there really be some unspeakable secret hidden at home?"

"Does Director Guo insist on entering?"

Guo Nu nodded and said: "It was originally optional, but because of Miss Sheng's attitude... today, this door must be entered."

"What if I disagree?"

"Then I'll have to offend Miss Sheng, and tomorrow I'll personally apologize to the Finance Minister." Guo Nu waved his large hand, sternly commanded: "Search."

Clatter!

Sheng Xinhua was forcibly pushed aside as a large number of Security Bureau special police, armed with guns and shields, stormed into the house.
