"What did you buy? Come, show me what you bought so we can eat. I haven't eaten anything all day and I'm starving," Bidegla said, as she took the lunch box directly from Pyotr Haler's hand and began to enjoy her meal.

Watching Bidegla eat so delicately, Pyotr Haler felt like he was dreaming. Back when they were in school, Bidegla was tough, but not this tough.

Killing someone, it's become as casual as drinking water. What kind of experiences led to this?

After dinner, the detectives from the poor district across the street also withdrew, as they had searched for hours without finding any clues. Staying here wouldn't yield any clues.

Standing at the window, looking at the bright lights of Qing County, Bidegla's eyes narrowed slightly.

Qing County is usually very peaceful, rarely experiencing any major events. But perhaps tomorrow, there will be a major cleansing here.

After practicing all night, the next day, Bidegla was awakened by a ringing phone.

Glancing at the caller ID, a smile appeared on Bidegla's face. Finally, her rescue had arrived.

"Master," Bidegla respectfully answered the phone.

"The mayor of Ziyang City, along with their secretary and other important officials, are all on their way to Qing County. It will probably take them half an hour to arrive. Do you want to go and greet them?"

"Forget it, let them come to see me on their own," Bidegla replied, giving them the address and hanging up the phone.

Since Shadow Dread was able to summon them, it meant they were afraid of Shadow Dread. As his only disciple, Bidegla couldn't afford to undermine her master's reputation by going to meet them. They had to come to her.

"Pyotr, prepare a new set of clothes for me, the most luxurious one. Money is not an issue. Here's my card, go out now and buy a set for me. I have to meet some important guests later," Bidegla called for Pyotr Haler, speaking slowly.

"Guests?" Pyotr Haler was surprised, but still took the bank card from Bidegla.

He couldn't see through what kind of person Bidegla really was, so he didn't ask any more questions. Using the word "meeting" had him still confused about what Bidegla was up to.

There was a large shopping mall nearby, so Pyotr Haler quickly bought a set of expensive suits worth tens of thousands for Bidegla.

In a small place like Qing County, only a few people could afford such expensive suits.

Wearing the new clothes, Bidegla sat calmly on the sofa, quietly awaiting the arrival of her reinforcements.

The county secretary in Qing County could act as an accomplice, with no one to hold them accountable, essentially like a local emperor. But no matter what, Qing County was still just a county under Ziyang City. In front of the mayor, a county magistrate was nothing.

The higher the rank, the greater the pressure. With just a word from the mayor, the county party secretary could be finished.

They said half an hour, but when the group from Ziyang City arrived at Bidegla's place, it was almost fifty minutes later.

The doorbell rang, and at Bidegla's signal, Pyotr Haler opened the door.

Outside the door stood a group of people, almost filling the entire hallway. Looking at them, Pyotr Haler was shocked, because these visitors were all important figures from the city, including the secretary of the municipal party committee.

"Are you Mr. Gla?" asked the secretary of the municipal party committee in Ziyang City, with some confusion as he saw the door being opened.

"I am not, he is inside," Pyotr Haler said, suppressing his shock and making way for the group to enter.

"You must be Mr. Bidegla, right?" The secretary of the municipal party committee in Ziyang City looked at Bidegla, who was sitting upright on the sofa, with a somewhat hesitant smile and a sense of fear.

They had been doing well in Ziyang City, when suddenly they received a call from the province, saying that an important figure had been trapped by people from Qing County and treated as a fugitive.

The message was clear: no matter the cost, they had to save a man named Bidegla. If they failed, their political careers might be over.

In the city, they all wanted to climb higher. If they failed at this, the higher-ups could easily trip them up, and they would be lucky not to fall down.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

This was a very good way to curry favor with the higher-ups, so early in the morning, almost all the important officials of the municipal party committee in Ziyang City gathered, eager to see this man named Bidegla.

The fact that the province was making an effort for this man meant his identity was unimaginable. At least they couldn't afford to provoke him.

"I am Bidegla," Bidegla said calmly, looking at the large group of people.

"Hello, Mr. Bidegla. We were late due to traffic," said the secretary of the municipal party committee in Ziyang City with a smile, reaching out his hands.

While others shook hands with a single hand, he now reached out both hands, a sign that he no longer saw himself as the superior secretary in front of Bidegla.

Here, he dared not to put on airs, fearing to displease Bidegla.

He was a lucky star for their ascent, and they could not afford to offend him.

"You don't need to tell me that. Since you're here to help me, I have only one thing to say: the secretary of Qing County must step down. Do you have any questions?" Bidegla said, his eyes scanning slowly over them.

"That's absolutely no problem," Mark Forland nodded, "We have gathered all the criminal evidence on this man overnight. You can rest assured that after today, he will step down. This is our duty. We didn't expect him to be such a person. It's our fault."

"Hmm," Bidegla laughed, without revealing anything. How many of these officials now had a clean slate?

"This time, I lost a total of ten lives. These people attacked and injured my parents, almost killing them in the hospital. So, you should know what needs to be done," Bidegla said.

"Understood, understood," the people in the room kept nodding and smiling apologetically at Bidegla's words.

Ten lives lost, yet he said it so lightly. But since it was the will from above, they had to help, even if it was twenty lives.

In case of trouble, they had someone to cover for them, so they just needed to carry out the orders.

If they handled this well, they would have greater opportunities for advancement, so as long as they followed Bidegla's instructions, there would be only benefits and no drawbacks.

"Alright, let's go and meet the so-called secretary of Qing County now," Bidegla said, standing up.

There were more than ten cars from Ziyang City, and Bidegla was now riding in the car of the municipal party committee secretary, while he himself ran to the other cars and squeezed in with the others.

Bidegla could tell that these people were afraid of him, but it was for the best, as it saved a lot of trouble.

The master's influence is truly formidable, as he has quickly mobilized these people in Ziyang City, who are the true local authorities in the entire city.

It was still the county government of Qing County. When Bidegla came yesterday, he had disguised himself and sneaked in, but today the situation has changed dramatically.

The guards at the gate originally wanted to stop them, but then they were forced to retreat by a document.

How could a small gatekeeper provoke the people in the city, so they were quickly allowed to pass.

"Go, bring the secretary of Qing County to me. I want to see what he's capable of." At this point, Mark Forland was the first to get out of the car and instructed his secretary.

Mark Forland was both eager to please and afraid of Bidegla, but when faced with a small county secretary, he didn't take him seriously.

Soon, the county secretary of Qing County was brought down by Mark Forland's secretary, followed by a large group of officials from the county.

Initially, they didn't believe that people from the city had come, but when they saw Mark Forland and the large group behind him, they were all taken aback.

Is this an inspection? All the people from the city have actually come.

They were all officials, but in the presence of the city bureau, they all became silent and dared not speak.

These were all the people they usually needed to curry favor with, but now they had all come, and their ranks were higher than theirs.

"You must be Teneil Forland, right?" Seeing the county secretary of Qing County, Mark Forland asked.

"Yes, it's me." When Teneil Forland saw that Mark Forland remembered his name, he was pleasantly surprised and quickly responded.

"I heard that you have been pursuing a man named Bidegla these past two days, right?" Mark Forland didn't bother with small talk and went straight to the point.

"Yes, he is suspected of intentional murder, and has already harmed several lives. He is a key wanted criminal." Although he was somewhat puzzled by Mark Forland's question, Teneil Forland responded honestly.

And when the name Bidegla was mentioned, there was clearly a strong hatred in his eyes. The reason why this incident had become so big this time was because one of the people who died was his only son.

So, he really wanted to catch him and kill him immediately.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. It will be handled by our city bureau. Now, just wait for the summons from the court." Mark Forland said calmly, but Teneil Forland's face changed drastically.

The city bureau taking over such a big case seemed reasonable, but what about the court summons?

"This is a proof issued by the procuratorate. You are suspected of embezzling a huge sum of money, so keep your position for now and wait for further action." With that, Mark Forland took out a written proof from his pocket.

In just a few words, Teneil Forland lost his current position and became a criminal.

Teneil Forland had indeed engaged in embezzlement, but he had been very careful and left no evidence. His son was able to start a real estate company, which would have been impossible without his secret financial support.

He had thought that the people from the city bureau had come to help with the case, but he didn't expect it to be an investigation into him.

At that moment, he felt like he was falling from heaven to hell. Not only had his son died, but he was also going to be finished.

"Very well, I have said all that needs to be said. The deputy county mayor of Qing County will now act as the interim secretary, while the former deputy county mayor position will be filled by someone else. As for the others, they will have to wait for further notice." With just one sentence from Mark Forland, the officials of Qing County were all taken aback. The personnel changes were much larger than they had ever anticipated. In particular, the deputy county mayor of Qing County was now wearing an expression of incredulity, as he had not yet been officially promoted, and yet he was now being appointed to the position of secretary. This was truly a stroke of good luck falling from the heavens. Although it was only an interim position, from this moment on, he would be able to exercise the powers of the secretary, while Teneil Forland was now nothing, and even a guilty person.
