But at this mont, the pressure emanating from him was not a bit weaker than Liu Kun’s.
It was an intangible force condensed by belief, and it was the fundantal reason why he was willing to follow him with unwavering dedication for so many years.
"You can protect him, but you have to beco an Inspector, only by entering this system do you qualify."
With heavy breathing, Ding Yishan sat back at his desk, his tone unreasonably firm: "Otherwise, Jiang Chuan, if you dare take this step today, you’ll die in front of tomorrow."
"I..."
Jiang Chuan froze, "Master, I can’t stay like this..."
"You can’t, do you think you’re sothing special, that being a Half-Step Extraordinary is remarkable?"
Ding Yishan sneered, "This Happiness City is no longer what it used to be, without the protective layer of the inspection station, Jiang Chuan, in the eyes of those Extraordinaries, you’re not even as good as an ant!"
"They would crush you to death with a single step."
"Only by entering the system does your Half-Step Extraordinary ability beco sothing substantial, only then will soone be willing to stand behind you, to uphold justice for you, to shield you from the pressure, do you understand?"
After the words fell, Jiang Chuan was still dazed, unable to co to his senses for a long ti.
Seeing this, Ding Yishan pulled open a drawer without expression and took out three sheets of docunts, "But it’s just right, since Cheng Ye has so potential, that you are willing to protect him actively, then switch the target."
"These three are currently Intern Inspectors who have passed the cultural assessnts, only the Infected Body assessnt is left, and I can nod to let them pass at any ti."
He tapped his fingers on the docunts, his tone carrying a hint of cold determination, "Pick one, I’ll make sure they ’die’ reasonably, and you take their place."
"No, master, I can’t..."
Jiang Chuan instinctively shook his head, but his words were abruptly cut off by Ding Yishan.
"Jiang Chuan, do you think you have a choice, or do you think I have a choice?"
"Three fools, insisting on following Cheng Long to their deaths, leaving the inspection station severely damaged! You think they didn’t consider the fate of their descendants before they set out?"
"They don’t care, in this world, not everyone cares about their descendants!"
Ding Yishan’s voice carried repressed anger, each word squeezed through his teeth, "Don’t pretend to be ignorant with , Harlem has openly and secretly dealt with how many Inspectors’ descendants over the years, replacing them with his people?"
"Nine, a full nine, I, Ding Yishan, the station chief of the inspection station, how many did I replace?"
He suddenly raised his voice, "Even Cheng Long’s useless son, I gave him a chance to fight for his life!"
"But now, you’ve completely exhausted my patience."
Ding Yishan’s eyes suddenly turned cold, his tone unyieldingly firm.
"This isn’t asking you, it’s notifying you, if you disagree, I’ll randomly pick soone, and once the inspection station restarts, send them on duty, if they die, you must take their place."
"I don’t care what happens in the process, I only want the end result, since you value Cheng Ye, then protect him, I give you this chance."
"I..."
Jiang Chuan murmured, trying to say more.
But a docunt was already crumpled into a ball by Ding Yishan and thrown at his brow.
"Get out!"
The roar exploded from behind the desk, unfamiliar enough to make Jiang Chuan shudder.
Never before had he seen Station Chief Ding so angry, not even when He Fei died.
I have disappointed Station Chief Ding.
Jiang Chuan turned around absentmindedly, didn’t pick up the paper ball on the ground, just woodenly retreated.
The door was gently opened, and he couldn’t help but turn his head, his peripheral vision sweeping over the desk.
Ding Yishan still maintained a disappointed expression, the coldness like an ice pick stabbing in his heart, making him forget to adjust his breathing.
However, just as he had half a foot out the door, a voice finally ca from behind the desk:
"Chuan."
"Master?" Jiang Chuan instinctively turned around.
"I give you an opportunity."
Ding Yishan’s voice deepened, "Pick it up, if you’re willing to pick it up, I’ll give him a chance to fight for his life, arrange for him to work with Cheng Ye. They’re both the ’waste’ from the Inner City, if he can be like Cheng Ye, no, even if he only shows half of Cheng Ye’s ability, today’s matter will be forgotten, I’ll protect him, let him survive."
"But if you’re unwilling, then watch him die at Central Station."
"Master, I’m willing, I’m willing!"
Jiang Chuan’s face flashed with a hint of surprise, then his body suddenly turned, the speed of a Half-Step Extraordinary fully unleashed.
In the blink of an eye, he held the paper ball in his hand, looking as if he was afraid Ding Yishan would change his mind.
"Open it."
"Yes!"
Jiang Chuan quickly unfolded the paper ball, on the top were the words "Wang Kang."
Below was detailed history: all cultural assessnts were at least A-level, the Inspector’s Handbook assessnt even reached S-level, but when it ca to Martial Power assessnt, like Cheng Ye back then, all were the lowest F-level.
"Do you want to see the other two sheets?"
The remaining two docunts were casually tossed over by Ding Yishan, Jiang Chuan’s gaze instinctively fixated on the assessnt results.
Most cultural subjects were B, C levels, while Martial Power assessnts even had several outright fail marks.
"Master..."
He was completely stunned, his body trembling slightly.
"This is not only a test for you but also for Cheng Ye, if you want , Ding Yishan, to invest heavily in him, to cultivate him as the next station chief, fine."
"But relying solely on this mindset and ability is far from enough, Cheng Long was valued by back then not because of his Cheng Family identity, nor because of thods or skills, but because he could galvanize the entire team, and make other Inspectors submit to him!"
Ding Yishan stood up, his gaze distant, "Now, you’ve passed, it’s his turn."
