"That's the same as not saying anything at all," Shu Yi said, feeling frustrated.
"It's not exactly nonsense. At least everyone has this understanding. When she comes here again, she will be more restrained. You are all more wary and more cautious," Zhou Tong said, waving his hand.
"Right?" Li Yang chuckled, not really caring. He didn't care at all whether this woman had gone crazy and come to the National Security Bureau; he only cared about his own affairs.
"That's one thing. There are a few other tricky things that need to be resolved. Li Yang, have you taken care of things here?" Zhou Tong asked, looking at Li Yang.
"My affairs? They're mostly settled, no problem. Just tell me if you need anything," Li Yang nodded. He had underlings managing things in Jiangnan and Jiangdong cities, so he didn't need to worry at all. He could simply be a hands-off manager; he could handle anything via his phone. There was no need for him to do everything himself or stay here constantly.
"That's right. As I mentioned a few days ago, the Japanese and Americans are getting restless, and besides martial arts masters, there are also some guys with superpowers. This time, not only has our National Security Bureau intervened, but the Dragon Group has also gotten involved. This matter has escalated quite a bit, and it seems like something big is about to happen," Zhou Tong said, frowning.
"What kind of people are Japanese?" Li Yang pressed.
“There are martial artists and some evil forces, ninja shikigami and the like,” Zhou Tong said. Although he was not a cultivator, he knew about cultivators in Japan.
"Who are they?" Li Yang asked.
"The martial arts masters are led by Daishuzoichi, Japan's number one karate master, and followed by a dozen or so other masters. As for ninjas and shikigami, they should be the two largest ninja families in Japan, the Kukiku family and the Yagyu family," Zhou Tong said in a deep voice.
"The Nine Chrysanthemum Family and the Yagyu Family? I know about those. What about the American ones?" Li Yang asked.
"Besides martial artists, there are some werewolves and vampires from America, as well as some knights and envoys from the Papacy," Zhou Tong said.
"Werewolves and vampires?" Li Yang exclaimed in surprise. Hadn't he killed off all the vampires in America and Europe? How come there are still some?
“Yes, the werewolves are led by the wolf king Kobak. The vampires, on the other hand, are represented by an old prince, the vampire Bell, who has been in seclusion for many years. He has dozens of vampire experts under his command, including dukes, earls, and barons,” Zhou Tong said.
"Holy crap, so that's how it is." Li Yang nodded slightly. So it was a vampire who had gone into seclusion and was hiding. He was a super escaped fugitive. He even had so many vampires under his command. His strength was not to be underestimated.
"What about martial artists?" Li Yang asked.
"As I just mentioned, Japan's Daishuzoichi is also among the top ten martial arts masters in the world. He's ranked fourth, a master at the Baodan realm. His Baodan realm is so refined and perfected that even if I faced him, it would be difficult to defeat him without going all out. As for the two from the US, it can only be said that the Americans have learned the essence of the Thirty-Six Stratagems of China. People in their own country use these strategies for internal strife, but the Americans use them against the enemy. These two guys grew up in China and learned Chinese culture. They are similar to the spies trained by Japan in China. They are twins who have practiced Bajiquan and Piguazhang since childhood. Their kung fu has reached a high level and they are only a step away from Baodan. Even if Daishuzoichi were to encounter them, he would only have the chance to die with regret. They have practiced martial arts together since childhood, eaten and drunk together, and their minds are already in sync. They always attack at the same time. Two masters at the peak of Huajin, with their minds in sync, together, even I would have to be careful and try to protect myself rather than defeat them!" Zhou Tong said with a wry smile, shaking his head.
"Damn, the Americans have really learned our national treasure. That's quite a move. Bajiquan is trying its best to expand its international influence, so it's normal for them to take on some foreign disciples. Nobody cares about the purpose of these two coming to learn martial arts. As for the armor, they must have heard about the saying 'Bajiquan plus Piguazhang, even gods and ghosts are afraid,' and that's why they went to learn it, right?" Li Yang cursed.
"I think so too. They must have learned how to wear armor for that reason~" Shu Yi agreed with Li Yang's point of view.
"Yes. So, they all entered China under various identities, and there's nothing we can do about it. The situation is extremely serious right now," Zhou Tong said with a headache.
"They've already entered the country?" Li Yang asked, frowning.
“Yes. And they’re all heading in the same direction from all directions,” Zhou Tong nodded.
"The same direction? Which coordinates?" Li Yang asked in surprise. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?
"You'll be surprised when I tell you, it's Jiangbei City—a little south of Jiangnan City, already in the southern part of China," Zhou Tong said.
Chapter 883: We're Going to Make Trouble for Him
"Jiangbei City? Holy crap, how could it be here? Is something going to happen here?" Li Yang was indeed very surprised and didn't understand what was going on.
“We don’t know the specifics, but we can only guess that there’s some kind of secret going on. However, we can’t guess what it is. I’ve already sent Wang Gui and Fan Xian to Jiangbei City to check things out first and see if they can find anything,” Zhou Tong said.
"So that's why they weren't here. They went to Jiangbei City," Li Yang nodded. He had also racked his brains, but couldn't find any reason.
"Is there anything special about Jiangbei City?" Li Yang asked, his eyes lighting up.
"I'm not sure about that," Zhou Tong said, frowning.
"What makes it different from other places around here?" Li Yang continued to ask.
"It's nothing. I can't see anything wrong with it, but maybe the Dragon Group knows," Zhou Tong said.
"Maybe, but unfortunately my master is also a mortal and doesn't understand the affairs of the cultivation world, otherwise I could ask him," Li Yang said helplessly.
“That’s true, it’s a real headache,” Zhou Tong nodded.
"So you called me here to talk about this? What are your plans?" Li Yang asked. He'd basically finished his own business, and helping the National Security Bureau was only right; after all, he'd received benefits from them, so he should contribute.
“Wang Gui and Fan Xian have already gone ahead to make preparations, and we’ll head over soon after. Since you’ve almost finished your business, we plan to go over in the next couple of days. Is that alright with you?” Zhou Tong said.
"I'm fine. I've basically taken care of my business, so I think I can go," Li Yang nodded. He didn't have anything else to do, so he figured he might as well go and join the fun and see what these foreign bastards were up to!
“Alright, then take your documents and gun with you. We’ll let you know when we’re leaving,” Zhou Tong said.
"Okay, then I'll be going now." Li Yang got up and left.
"Director Zhou, is there something you're hiding from us?" Shu Yi asked after Li Yang left.
“You really have a keen eye. Not bad. I am hiding something from you. But it's not about you,” Zhou Tong said, nodding.
"It's not about me, it's about Li Yang?" Shu Yi asked in surprise. No wonder Zhou Tong didn't mention it earlier.
"Yes, it's about Li Yang. But I haven't received any specific information; it's just my guess," Zhou Tong said.
"You guessed? Why?" Shu Yi was even more surprised. What exactly was going on?
“Actually, I know why that girl joined our National Security Bureau,” Zhou Tong said, making a startling statement.
"For what?" Shu Yi's curiosity was piqued.
"For one person," Zhou Tong said with amusement.
"For Li Yang?" Shu Yi's eyes widened. He thought to himself, "Damn, Li Yang has really got his hands on a lot of women. He's quite the womanizer."
“That’s right. It’s for Li Yang.” Zhou Tong nodded in agreement.
"Did Li Yang offend her?" Shu Yi asked.
