In addition, Mayor Ye successfully attracted the connections of some former municipal party secretaries, and they quickly entered a honeymoon period, getting along very well. The representative figure was the underworld boss Song Qin.
The most notable event was when the two of them joined forces to bring down the renowned and powerful Mei family, shocking everyone.
"Hehe... This time you've finally shown your true colors. My chance to make a great contribution has come. I've been eyeing the position of Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission for a long time. No matter how you fight, I'm going to win this time and have a good time!" Zhao Yunlong chuckled to himself, already seeing the dawn of victory.
...
After Li Yang and Daozi made their way to the back of the shop, they passed through a hidden door and found themselves facing a downward staircase.
"Who?" someone exclaimed.
The knife was silently sliced across his body, and after a swift touch, without drawing blood, the boy collapsed to the ground, completely dazed.
"Great method? Teach me!" Li Yang's eyes lit up, and he praised, "Such an awesome method, if I want to seduce a pretty girl in the future, hehe, it will be extremely useful."
"No way." Daozi refused without hesitation. This was his sect's secret technique, which he absolutely could not pass on to outsiders. Otherwise, he would be considered a traitor and a collaborator with a prostitute.
"I don't care. You really think I'm interested? Just kidding... Damn it!" Li Yang kicked a thug who had suddenly appeared with a high roundhouse kick, creating a sharp whistling sound. The thug fell to the ground without even uttering a sound.
"How about that? My kick was quite effective, wasn't it?" Li Yang proudly tossed his head and led the way inside.
The two men made their way through a maze of twists and turns until they entered a hidden compartment, clearly their hideout. The upper level served as a shop as a cover, while the lower level was their crime scene.
All of this information was extracted from Tie Nan by Li Yang. Tie Nan was an important leader in the Shao brothers' gang and knew a lot of things.
After defecting, they become extremely useful!
"Clap clap clap..."
A sudden, jarring applause rang out, and the surroundings brightened instantly. Li Yang and Daozi found themselves in a spacious room, about two or three hundred square meters in size, which could be described as a small factory.
The area was brightly lit, and dozens of burly thugs stood shirtless all around, their faces menacing, their bodies covered in dark, muscular bodies. Many of them were brandishing sticks and machetes, while a dozen or so carried black handguns.
The leader was a clean-looking young man, as white as a dead man, who was clapping and grinning sinisterly at Li Yang and Daozi.
A dozen gunmen reached out, pointing their guns at Li Yang and the knife with wicked grins.
"I surrender." Li Yang's eyes were incredibly sharp; he immediately grasped the situation and raised his hands without hesitation. However, his eyes only glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, who was tied up in a corner. Dozens of ropes bound her body, revealing her beautiful figure. Her large breasts protruded, quite eye-catching, and many thugs in the corner secretly stared and swallowed.
Seeing that she was only disheveled and hadn't actually been... well, Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
"I despise you!" Daozi said to Li Yang with his eyes. But he also raised his hands immediately; no matter how fast his knife was, it couldn't outrun a dozen guns.
"Damn it, if you're so tough, don't give up!" Li Yang rolled his eyes at Daozi and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Chapter 123: We Meet Again
"What a disappointment! I thought a hero who saves a damsel in distress would be amazing. To be honest, I was really looking forward to it, but it turns out he's just a coward! What a disappointment!" Shao Shan shook his head and looked at Li Yang with a sneer. When he saw the knife, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
"I knew it! How dare an ordinary student interfere in our business! Turns out you have someone backing you up! Knife, I've heard so much about you! But, while your knife skills are amazing, I wonder if they're as good as my marksmanship? Hahaha... No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. Let alone my pistol!" Shao Shan walked over and patted Knife's face, making a loud slapping sound, and said with great disdain.
Daozi snorted coldly, his dagger-like gaze fixed on Shao Shan without uttering a single rebuttal.
"Why aren't you saying anything? I heard that Master Song's lackey, Daozi, is a tough guy who never admits defeat and never sheds tears! He's a ruthless character who'd risk his life! What's wrong with him today?"
"Bear? Hahaha... I'm going to have a very fair match with you later! You use your best knife skills, and I'll use my best gun skills. Let's see who takes the other down first! That'll be fun, won't it?" Shao Shan laughed triumphantly again.
"Break their legs first! Tie them up!" Shao Shan's expression suddenly changed, his cold and cruel gaze fixed on Li Yang and Daozi as he gave the order without any mercy.
A young man had been following Shao Shan the whole time. When he saw Li Yang and Daozi, a strange glint flashed in his eyes. It was so fleeting that an ordinary person would never have noticed it. We're all men, who would be staring blankly into the eyes of a grown man if they had a problem with their balls?
Therefore, only Li Yang, with his distorted gaze, noticed this situation, but he pretended not to see it.
"Shao Shan, you broke one of my legs, and I'll break three of yours later! Do you believe me?" Li Yang said with a smile, raising his hands.
Shao Shan suddenly laughed, a blatant, arrogant laugh, as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world. He looked around, then grinned at Li Yang, saying, "You said you'd break three of my legs? Did you all hear that? He said he'd break three of my legs? Hahaha… He said he'd break three of my legs? Hahaha…"
Shao Shan burst into a grotesque laugh, laughing so hard he bent over and couldn't straighten up.
"I'll break three of your legs right now. Let's see how arrogant you can be then!" Shao Shan suddenly looked up, pulled out a black pistol, pointed it at Li Yang's head, and roared with a ferocious expression.
"Oh, really? Then go ahead and try it." Li Yang remained unmoved, as if he were wearing a toy gun on his head.
Daozi stared at Li Yang in shock. He could still talk and laugh so calmly under such circumstances. He didn't know whether to call him an idiot or someone with a lot of guts!
"Shanzi, stop!" A low shout suddenly came from a corner door, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and another group of people walked in.
The leader was naturally Shao Kun, the knife-wielding man Fu Jun, and Gao Yan, whose face was contorted with rage.
"Big brother? What brings you here? Who is that person?" Shao Shan turned around and saw Gao Yan next to Shao Kun, asking in confusion.
"This is the big boss's son! He's the one who wanted that kid's arm! The young master is here in person today, so don't do anything, he'll personally break off his arm!" Shao Kun said as he walked over.
"The big boss's son? Alright then, do as you please!" Although Shao Shan was also acting on Gao Bucheng's orders, he had always followed Shao Kun and had never met the big boss, let alone known of Gao Yan's existence. But he never doubted his elder brother's words.
Although he also hated Li Yang to the extreme, he still had to obey his elder brother's orders!
"Li Yang! Didn't expect to see you again, did you? Why aren't you showing off to me this time? Huh?" Gao Yan walked over with a twisted face, staring at Li Yang with venomous intent and growling.
While scanning the area, Li Yang took the opportunity to use his X-ray vision to see through it. He knew that this was an underground activity room. Various machines were operating in the many doorways around it. Many thin, expressionless girls wearing masks were busy inside. Some of the girls looked to be under fifteen years old and were also busy on the assembly line.
Flakes of something resembling flour flowed along the assembly line, and they were packed into bags, like machines.
They are clearly manufacturing viruses and other such things.
Li Yang seemed not to have heard Gao Yan's words at all, and continued to look around casually with a relaxed expression. If someone were to pay close attention, they would notice that he stared at a young man who had been following Shao Shan for a longer period of time, but no one would notice this.
Li Yang's behavior made Gao Yan feel very embarrassed.
