"Okay. Don't worry, just focus on your studies..." Zhao Yunlong kept his eyes on the landline on the table while on the phone. Suddenly, the landline rang, the sound extremely shrill. Zhao Yunlong even flinched and immediately hung up Zhao Lihua's phone.
"Hello. How is it?" Zhao Yunlong answered the phone and immediately asked in a deep voice. Although he was very anxious, more than a decade of experience had made him less likely to reveal his true inner thoughts.
"Reporting to the Chief! Everything is going smoothly. The informant reports that they've defied the rules again and arrested a woman from out of town. This time, we'll definitely catch them red-handed and expose them!"
"Alright! Immediately mobilize the police force, relay my orders, and close the net!" Zhao Yunlong narrowed his eyes, shooting out two cold glints, and decisively gave the order.
"yes!"
...
Li Yang quickly arrived at the place he had rented for Su Xiaoxiao, carrying a knife, but the scene was a mess. The door was broken, there was garbage everywhere, and the room had been turned into a garbage dump.
The landlord, bruised and battered, hid to one side, too afraid to come out. He was clearly terrified of the beating and dared not call the police, even though the police station was just across the street, less than 300 meters away.
Daozi wanted to go over and ask the landlord some questions, but Li Yang stopped him, saying, "No need to ask him, he won't know anything."
"Why?" Daozi seemed to be testing Li Yang.
“He’s just an ordinary person. After such a blow and shock, he definitely won’t pay attention to those things. Besides, doesn’t he seem a bit dazed? He won’t be of much help to us. Let’s get out of here quickly. I have a way to find them.” After Li Yang finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out. Daozi glanced at the landlord and followed without saying a word.
Clearly, Li Yang's words make a lot of sense.
As Li Yang climbed the stairs, his face grim, he pulled out his phone and dialed Su Xiaoxiao's number. It was the phone he'd bought for her at the mall that morning. He hadn't expected it to come in such a useful way now; he really didn't want this to happen.
It was already late, and the stairs were either dark or broken. Li Yang walked down the stairs quickly as if on flat ground, much to the surprise of Daozi, who was following behind. Even with his skills, Daozi had to calculate his steps, which slowed him down. Li Yang, on the other hand, didn't seem to need to calculate at all; he just walked down without even looking.
He had no idea that Li Yang's eyes were so abnormal that he could see almost as clearly in the dark as in the daytime.
"Hey, where are you? What do you want?" After a while, the phone was finally answered. Li Yang knew without a second thought that it wasn't Su Xiaoxiao who answered, so he asked bluntly.
"Hmph... Kid, you're pretty smart. I heard you're quite capable, but now you're still in my hands, aren't you? Have you already slept with that bitch?" The voice on the phone was extremely evil, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, making one feel uncomfortable just listening to it.
"Stop talking nonsense! Where are you? I'm coming right now. Tell me what you want to say in person!" Li Yang hissed.
"Hehe... If you won't tell me, I'll check it myself. Cannon, pull down her pants, fuck her, and see if she bleeds..."
Suddenly, a man's wicked laughter and Su Xiaoxiao's terrified scream came from the phone.
"Damn it! If you dare touch a hair on her head, I'll kill your whole family!" Li Yang roared into his phone. While cursing, he hailed a taxi, gave the driver an address, and told him to drive away.
At that moment, Shao Shan was just looking forward to a good show to vent his frustration when one of his underlings stepped forward and suggested, "Brother Shan, didn't Brother Kun say he wanted one of that guy's arms and one leg? If we don't let him come here, it'll be difficult for us to handle things outside. Let's bring him here first; once he's here, he's doomed!"
Shao Shan thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense. Let's get that kid here first!"
"Hey, come to this address. I won't do her yet. I'll wait until you get here, then I'll do her right in front of you until she screams, hahaha..."
Li Yang hung up the phone with a cold laugh. "You think I don't know where you are? That's because you're stupid and ignorant! If I didn't want to mess with you bunch of scum, I wouldn't have risked my life to fight you desperate bastards with my overflowing sense of justice."
However, this is your own doing, so don't blame me for being ruthless. With his X-ray vision ability, Li Yang was confident he could take them all down once he grabbed a gun. His marksmanship had been honed after the incident with Mei Fu; while he wasn't quite able to hit every target perfectly, he could definitely hit the head without hitting the chest.
It would be more than enough to take their lives.
Knife, who was sitting to one side, suddenly frowned with some alarm. He glanced at Li Yang and clearly felt a sharp killing intent emanating from Li Yang deep in the mountains. Only someone like him, who had killed people and seen blood, could have such an aura. Knife took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to use his knife in self-defense.
He knew that Li Yang was a man of hidden talent, and that Master Song valued him highly. He also knew that Li Yang had a record of four deaths and one injury when he rescued Cao Xin last time.
The last vestiges of contempt and resentment in his heart vanished with this astonishing killing intent.
The driver, however, was terrified as he peered through the rearview mirror at the two people behind him. But just one glance was enough to send shivers down his spine. He quickly looked away and dared not look again. He slammed on the gas and sped off towards the address Li Yang had given him.
It's important to get rid of these two plagues as soon as possible.
Chapter 122: I Surrender
The location was in a very inconspicuous residential area with a lot of people and cars. After getting out of the car, Li Yang and Daozi headed straight for a large shop with gloomy faces.
"What would you like to buy?" The proprietress, an old woman in her sixties or seventies, sat to one side without looking up, giving off an eerie and sinister feeling, much like Meng Po (the goddess of forgetfulness in Chinese mythology).
"Shut the fuck up!" Daozi cursed, slamming his hand on the table. In his opinion, Li Yang had led them straight here, so there must be something wrong.
Unexpectedly, Meng Po ignored his threats and remained seated, half-dead, saying, "What do you want?"
Li Yang rushed over, grabbed Meng Pozi by the collar, and slammed her to the ground. This old hag was no good; she was a brothel owner who forced women into prostitution. All the women were trained by her before they went out to serve customers.
With a few cracking sounds, Meng Pozi lay sprawled on the ground, spitting blood. Li Yang pushed open a side door and went into the back. Daozi was somewhat surprised, not understanding what Li Yang meant. Did he know where the other party was? But he still followed.
"Reporting to the director, there's an emergency. Two people have suddenly entered the target location, seemingly seeking revenge. Wait, one is Song Qin's bodyguard, Daozi, and the other is student Li Yang? How could it be them?"
From an ordinary car not far from the shop, came the surprised voice of Zheng Guo, the branch director, reporting.
"Ignore them, continue monitoring. Be ready for further orders." In a BMW a little further away, Zhao Yunlong sat quietly, his expression calm. After giving Zheng Guo his instructions, his eyes remained fixed on a small screen inside the car, which clearly showed the figures of Shao Shan and his men. The camera followed Shao Shan and his group, and even caught a glimpse of Su Xiaoxiao, who was disheveled and looked terrified.
It was clearly a surveillance device. The police had monitored Shao Shan and his group's movements to this extent; it seemed Shao Shan and his crew were doomed.
Just then, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz drove up and stopped outside the huge shop, and several people got out.
The group consisted of a sinister-looking young man, a high school student dressed in designer clothes, and a young man who calmly fiddled with a scalpel.
The three strode into a house next to the shop and disappeared.
"Report! Report! The criminal gang leader Shao Kun has appeared, and the main suspect Fu Jun has also appeared, accompanied by Gao Yan, the son of the wealthy businessman Gao Bucheng." Zheng Guo excitedly reported to Zhao Yunlong. These were some big fish! Catching them would be a huge achievement, meaning promotion and wealth. It would be strange if he wasn't excited!
"Continue to monitor and wait for the best opportunity!" Zhao Yunlong raised his eyebrows. Finally, they all showed up. What surprised and delighted him the most this time was Gao Yan's appearance. He had always known that the Shao brothers had a powerful figure backing them up. Otherwise, he would have slapped them into mincemeat long ago and let them swagger around here.
With that important figure acting as a protective umbrella, Director Zhao Yunlong was in a real bind, unable to bring himself to kill them.
But things have changed now. The power struggle at the top has reached an extreme. It's not the situation everyone expected, where Secretary Cai is completely pushing Mayor Ye down and doing whatever he wants with him. Instead, it's a back-and-forth between the two, with one teasing the other.
