They never expected Li Yang to be so shameless and brazen. He not only lied, but he also had the audacity to embellish his own image!
"Is she your girlfriend?" Zhao Yunlong was a little sensitive about the pairing of him and Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao was obviously older than Li Yang.
"What's wrong? Haven't you heard the saying 'A woman three years older than you is like holding a gold brick'?" Li Yang said smugly, putting his arm around Su Xiaoxiao's slender waist.
Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed slightly, but her face was full of happiness. She obediently nestled into Li Yang's arms like a little bird seeking shelter.
Zhao Yunlong stopped asking questions, and his eyes even showed a deep sense of empathy. Li Yang had no idea that Zhao Yunlong's wife was older than him.
"Director Zhao, don't believe him! He's just spouting nonsense!" Fu Jun shouted angrily.
"Nonsense! If you don't believe him, are you going to believe you? He's willing to risk his life for his girlfriend. Can't you trust the character of someone like that? Just shut up, Fu Jun. I've heard your name more than once. You're the top henchman in the Shao brothers' gang. You're the one who removed those human organs, aren't you?"
"You are extremely vicious! You will definitely be sentenced to death by law!" Zhao Yunlong clearly believed Li Yang's words and completely ignored Fu Jun's human rights.
"I, I also want to report this. I support Fu Jun's statement. It was this kid, yes, he's the one who hacked them like this, and my brother, that bloodied mess. He's my own brother, he was hacked like that by Li Yang. Why didn't you call an ambulance? He's almost dead..."
Shao Kun, who had been in a daze with a gun pointed at his head, never expected that he, who had lived a glorious life, would fall like this. Now that he had finally come to his senses, he instantly erupted with a crazy rage towards Li Yang.
"Your words are not to be believed! You're all in cahoots! There's a suspicion of collusion and slander!" Zhao Yunlong waved his hand, delivering the final verdict without even glancing at Shao Kun.
A smug smile crept across Li Yang's lips. He understood Zhao Yunlong's thoughts perfectly. He would never want a criminal like Li Yang to exist, even if Li Yang was the one who took down these people; it would only benefit him, not harm him. Moreover, he certainly didn't want the large-scale arrest operation he personally directed to end up as a publicity stunt about a high school student and a gangster executioner.
Therefore, he would never treat Li Yang and Daozi as people acting in self-defense. The best approach would be to turn a blind eye, not pursue their responsibility, and then let them leave.
As for the rest, isn't it all up to him? He can make things fair or bad as he pleases. Besides, Daozi is Song Qin's man, and everyone knows that Song Qin has recently hitched a ride on Mayor Ye's coattails. Even if Zhao Yunlong is powerful, he still has to give him some face.
"Roast them all and take them away!" Zhao Yunlong ordered, and the police officers swarmed forward and lifted the men up.
"No! I'm an informant! Director Zheng promised that as long as I'm an informant, he won't hold me accountable! You can't treat me like this!" The informant struggled and shouted frantically. If he were really taken in for questioning and prosecution, he would definitely be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. It would be strange if he didn't shout.
Director Zheng, sweating profusely, secretly glared at the informant. "Are you an idiot? Shouting like that, you're practically asking for death!"
Zhao Yunlong sneered, narrowing his eyes as he stared at the informant and said, "Who acknowledged your identity? What did I promise you?"
The informant was stunned and said, "No, no."
"No, right? That makes things easier. Take him away!" If Zhao Yunlong wanted to teach him a lesson, this informant would only meet a tragic end!
"But Director Zheng promised, you can't treat me like this..."
"Then how should we treat you? Enough nonsense, keep a close eye on him, he's a serious criminal!" Director Zhao's face darkened as he ordered the officers escorting him.
One of the two escorting officers swung his rifle butt and smashed it into the informant's face. The informant's face was instantly covered in blood, and he passed out. They dragged him away like a dead pig.
I was speechless for a moment after watching.
Everyone was taken away. Li Yang noticed that when the paramedics arrived, the first person they treated wasn't the seriously injured thugs or Shao Shan, but Gao Yan, whose body was covered in mangled flesh from being attacked by the girls. Li Yang also noticed that Zhao Yunlong and Zheng Guo had entered the area, their eyes darting around as if searching for something. When they saw the bloodied Gao Yan, their eyes lit up for a moment, then they quietly went about their business. Zheng Guo, on Zhao Yunlong's orders, went to deal with Gao Yan, ostensibly to guard and escort the girls, but in reality, their target was Gao Yan.
However, no one at the scene noticed this detail. Li Yang's eyesight was too good. Although he could not use his ability to see into people's hearts at this moment, he still managed to capture the strange expressions on their faces and in their eyes.
That was definitely not a friendly look. Zhao Yunlong has huge ambitions. Is he going to make a move against Gao Yan's father?
Everyone left, leaving only Zhao Yunlong, the released knife, Li Yang, and Su Xiaoxiao.
Zhao Yunlong looked at the group quietly and said softly, "I hope you stay a little longer before leaving. Forget what happened here. It's not a good memory, and it might leave you with psychological trauma."
Daozi's eyes flashed as he nodded in agreement. Su Xiaoxiao certainly wouldn't resist. Li Yang, however, quietly looked at Zhao Yunlong, understood the meaning behind his words, and smiled slightly, saying, "Director Zhao, please rest assured, we are all law-abiding citizens. I'm even a top student from the city's No. 1 High School! How could I do anything wrong?"
Director Zhao, Director Zhao, you don't know, do you? I've managed to seduce your daughter. Well, that's good. She's been having a lot of trouble with you lately, so I've helped her out of a big problem.
Director Zhao stared intently at Li Yang for a moment. As a shrewd person, he could tell at a glance that Li Yang was the mastermind behind the trio, not the apparent leader, Dao Zi.
"Are you a student at No. 1 High School in the city? Are you a junior or senior? What's your name?" Zhao Yunlong suddenly became very curious about this boy. He knew that Daozi was Song Qin's chief henchman, and since he obeyed Li Yang's orders, he must have received Song Qin's command. He was very curious about what extraordinary abilities this boy possessed that could make Song Qin act so exceptionally.
"He's from Class 2, Grade 12. His name is Li Yang! I'm a classmate of the school beauty, Zhao Lihua." Li Yang said to Zhao Yunlong meaningfully, letting him know that he knew a lot about Zhao Yunlong and Zhao Lihua, and that they were friends, not enemies, so don't try to harm me.
Zhao Yunlong's expression did indeed flash with surprise, but only for a moment. If Li Yang's eyesight hadn't been so incredibly sharp, he would never have noticed it on such a shrewd person's face. He nodded slightly and said, "Students should focus on their studies. If you have any problems, you can go to the police!"
"Understood." Li Yang nodded.
Zhao Yunlong glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and Daozi again, then turned and left.
Outside the shop, police cars were already crowded together, sirens blaring. Pairs of heavily armed special police officers were going in and out, escorting disheveled and bloodied criminals and pitiful victims.
Chapter 128: The Young Lady
The city's television station, morning and evening newspapers, and other major media outlets flocked to Zhao Yunlong, who was the last to emerge from the criminal hideout, and surrounded him.
Zhao Yunlong had a serious expression and an imposing presence, displaying the demeanor of a model police officer. He remained composed and undisturbed in front of the camera.
Jiang Xinyue, the leading lady and host of the city's TV station, is a sexy, charming, and alluring white-collar woman. Her classic white-on-top, black-on-bottom outfit and exquisite, elegant hairstyle give her the powerful ability to conquer any man.
"Director Zhao, according to reliable sources, the targets of this operation were the recent high-profile missing persons case and the human organ trafficking case. Was it successful? Have all the criminals been apprehended?" Jiang Xinyue's voice was slightly hoarse, very similar to that of film star Zhou Xun, exuding a unique sexiness and charm.
Faced with her alluring appearance, Zhao Yunlong was momentarily dazed, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "That's right, these people are the criminal gang involved in the recent missing persons and human organ trafficking cases. After receiving reports from the victims' families, the police immediately took the matter very seriously and mobilized a large number of police officers to conduct an investigation."
The municipal party committee and government leaders also attached great importance to the case, instructing that it be solved as soon as possible to restore a peaceful and safe Jiangdong City to the people. I was deeply troubled by this case from the moment I heard about it. These criminals are utterly depraved. If I cannot apprehend them quickly, I will truly be unworthy of this police uniform. Therefore, I strictly demanded that all officers go all out, seize the opportunity, and solve the case swiftly. Through the police's vigorous investigation, we finally obtained extremely valuable information…”
The other media personnel were no longer qualified to speak with Director Zhao. They simply listened to Jiang Xinyue's interview through their microphones, and then went back to organize their own articles.
"Calling 110 when in trouble has become a common saying among ordinary people, and this operation proves it even more. Director Zhao personally directed this arrest operation. What are your thoughts?" Jiang Xinyue was a woman who knew how to tickle people, and her words made Zhao Yunlong feel very comfortable. No wonder she became the top female host of Jiangdong City TV Station, which was famous throughout the country. She really had something special.
"After careful planning by myself, the deputy director, and the directors of the various branches, we launched a unified operation and adopted a swift and decisive offensive to crack down on this rampant criminal gang. I felt a great sense of relief and finally felt I could live up to this police uniform..." Zhao Yunlong shamelessly spoke to the camera, while Li Yang, Su Xiaoxiao, and Daozi, who had secretly slipped out from the other side, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as they watched him spout nonsense in front of the camera.
"Director Zhao is truly the guardian of the people! I think Jiangdong City can finally sleep soundly with such a responsible director like Director Zhao, who is dedicated to serving the people and thinking of the citizens!" Jiang Xinyue's flattery was so scathing it made everyone swoon.
Zhao Yunlong smiled warmly and said earnestly, "Actually, I hope to retire as soon as possible!"
