Two burly men immediately stepped in front of Xu Zhengyang to block him.
"stop!"
"Get out of here!" Xu Zhengyang said in a deep voice.
Ding Changri shouted, "Kill him!"
Without saying a word, the two bodyguards threw punches at Xu Zhengyang, one of them suddenly pulling out a sharp dagger.
Chen Hanzhe rushed forward and kicked one of them.
Xu Zhengyang grabbed the wrist of the man holding the dagger, gave it a light shake, and tossed it onto the oil painting hanging on the wall with a loud thud. Then, Xu Zhengyang helped Chen Hanzhe kick away another bodyguard.
As the two men groaned and scrambled to their feet, ready to pounce, two policemen stood a short distance away, guns drawn and aimed at them. Though no words were spoken, their fierce and menacing expressions silently warned them: Don't move, I'll shoot…
"Oh, this must be your sister-in-law? Come, come, don't be shy, have a seat!" Xu Zhengyang sat on the sofa and waved to the woman who was leaning against the wall, trembling with fear but dared not utter a sound.
Whose house is this?
Ding Changri frowned, knowing the newcomers meant trouble, but having seen it all before, he remained calm. In the current situation, resistance was futile. He had witnessed the actions of these two policemen countless times; even they obeyed Xu Zhengyang's orders. What else could he do? So, Ding Changri calmly sat back down on the sofa, facing Xu Zhengyang.
"Mr. Ding, things aren't going too well here either." Xu Zhengyang took out a cigarette, lit it, and leisurely exhaled a couple of puffs. He said, "Bodyguards can't even carry guns anymore. Sigh, why did you do this?"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Ding Changri asked coldly.
Xu Zhengyang smiled and said, "It's simple. Come back with me."
Ding Changri paused, as if he had heard a huge joke, and sneered without saying a word, just looking at Xu Zhengyang as if he were an idiot.
“I know what you’re worried about. Going back is a dead end, isn’t it?” Xu Zhengyang leaned back on the sofa, let out a long sigh, and said, “To be honest, you won’t survive if you don’t go back. If you go back, you might get credit for your report, and it might not necessarily cost you your life…”
Ding Changri stared at Xu Zhengyang, his gaze darkening as he considered the likelihood of what Xu Zhengyang had just said.
"Then, Mr. Ding, I don't recognize these two bodyguards of yours, right?" Xu Zhengyang suddenly asked.
Ding Changri was stunned, not understanding why.
Xu Zhengyang looked at the bodyguard standing at the door of a bedroom and said, "He's the one. You, bang your head against the wall twice."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhengyang's eyes narrowed, and his divine sense instantly entered the bodyguard's mind. He controlled the bodyguard's body to suddenly turn around and slam it against the wall twice. After the impact, the bodyguard let out a cry of pain, then clutched his throbbing head and squatted down, looking up at Xu Zhengyang with a blank and terrified expression.
"Hmm, let this one bang his head against the wall a couple of times too," Xu Zhengyang said, looking at the other bodyguard.
Repeating his old trick, the bodyguard turned around and slammed his head against the wall twice. He hit it harder, his forehead was cut open, and blood streamed down his face. He clutched his head and groaned in pain, staring at Xu Zhengyang in utter terror. In broad daylight, he was seeing a ghost...
Apart from Xu Zhengyang and the two policemen who were possessed by ghosts, everyone else in the room was dumbfounded. Even Chen Hanzhe was stunned.
This is fucking dangerous... Earth is so dangerous!
Xu Zhengyang took a drag of his cigarette and said with a smile, "To be honest, Mr. Ding, it would be easy for me to make you jump off a building or suffer self-harm every day... This is abroad, not in China, so I don't need to worry about any negative impact. What do you think?"
“You…” Ding Changri trembled all over.
"Ah, a ghost!" The woman finally couldn't hold back any longer and screamed loudly.
"Shut up!" Xu Zhengyang shouted sharply.
The woman was so frightened that she covered her mouth and curled up on the sofa, too scared to move.
Xu Zhengyang raised his right hand, which was holding a cigarette, and rubbed his chin with his thumb. He looked up at Ding Changri and laughed, "It seems that President Ding still doesn't trust his brother. Fine, then, why don't you take that apple and smash it on your head?"
Ding Changri was stunned. He only saw Xu Zhengyang's eyes narrow slightly. Instantly, Ding Changri felt dizzy and uncontrollably picked up an apple from the fruit plate on the coffee table and smashed it hard on his forehead. Goodness, the crisp and juicy apple shattered, and juice splattered everywhere.
"How is it?" Xu Zhengyang asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
"Who...who are you...?"
Xu Zhengyang pursed his lips and said, "You can think of me as a devil, a monster, a god, whatever you want. Hmm... you left a mess behind in China, causing trouble for me and my wife's family. I'm completely innocent. So I hope you can go back and clarify things, so that I won't get upset and cause trouble for you, and... you have relatives too, right? Actually, I'm a very kind person and really don't want to do anything excessive. As the saying goes, one shouldn't let one's wife and children suffer..."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back, I'll go back." Ding Changri was terrified.
No matter how brave a person is, when faced with such a bizarre and unpredictable situation happening to them personally, even the strongest psychological defenses will crumble.
Although Xu Zhengyang's statement that "the harm should not extend to the wife and children" was true, he really couldn't bring himself to threaten someone else's wife and children.
But the matter was urgent, and Xu Zhengyang couldn't care less about anything else; he just wanted to scare them first.
After all, this is a foreign country, and he only has two ghost messengers with him. What if a bunch of police or gangsters suddenly burst in? Would it lead to a huge shootout? Not to mention the danger of getting hurt, if such a commotion were to occur, it would be impossible for him to return to China from Canada smoothly in the short term.
This trip was truly out of necessity. If he hadn't been in a hurry to deal with it, he would never have wanted to pull off the trick of being possessed by a spirit.
Because of the rules of heaven, gods can send dreams to people, but they cannot use their divine consciousness to control people's bodies like ghost messengers.
Therefore, doing this consumes a lot of divine power. In fact, divine possession by a deity consumes ten times, or even more, of the divine power compared to ordering a ghost to possess someone. Although this is only a minor violation of the general heavenly rules, and the heavenly rules currently lack the power to immediately unleash divine punishment, these small transgressions accumulate. The heavenly rules and regulations record every single one of these transgressions, and once enough is enough to punish someone, a heavenly tribulation will strike. Well… Xu Zhengyang frequently violates the heavenly rules these days. After all, when he's with his wife, there's no peace and quiet every day; he absolutely can't sleep without making love.
Young people, with a wife who's the most beautiful woman in their eyes, how could they possibly resist?
That's understandable.
Okay, enough chit-chat.
Xu Zhengyang said with a smile, "President Ding, you should know what to do when the police or other government officials arrive, right?"
"I know, I know, I'll take care of these things." Ding Changri nodded, his forehead covered in cold sweat and juice, his slicked-back hair still smeared with bits of apple crumbs.
"Don't even think about running away. I can drag you down even if you run to the sky." Xu Zhengyang still smiled. "Really, I'm not lying to you."
Ding Changri completely broke down.
Volume 5, Spirit Official, Chapter 280: Someone Wants You Dead
East of downtown Vancouver. The second largest Chinatown in North America, after the old Chinatown in San Francisco, with at least 50,000 Chinese residents.
At the entrance of Pande Street stands the Millennium Gate, which has a distinctly ancient oriental architectural style. Further in, the bustling street is lined with shops on both sides, with a dazzling array of goods stores, Chinese medicine shops, Chinese restaurants and hotels, giving people the feeling of being in China.
In the center of the street stood a three-story Chinese restaurant, its architecture antique and elegant. The first floor housed the main dining area, the second floor had private dining rooms, and the third floor was office space. Jiang Chengzhi was currently in his office on the third floor, on the phone with someone on the other side of the world.
“Aunt, I took him there and came back.”
"Please don't blame me. It's obvious that this brother-in-law doesn't really want to trouble anyone... Of course, I shouldn't get in his way any further."
"This is Canada, what can I do? Do you expect me to send people to storm in and drag Ding Changri out?"
"What? He doesn't speak English? Aunt, you must be joking..."
...
Indeed, Xu Zhengyang does not understand English, but this does not prevent him from communicating with anyone in Canada.
But how could Jiang Lan and Jiang Chengzhi have thought of this?
So after being scolded by Jiang Lan, Jiang Chengzhi quickly apologized with an awkward smile, hung up the phone, and hurriedly got up to go find Xu Zhengyang. Goodness, a guy who has never been to Canada and doesn't understand English has someone who can only act as a bodyguard or assassin by his side, which is really...inconvenient.
Maybe they've already been arrested and taken to the police station?
Just as Jiang Chengzhi opened the office door to leave, he was blocked at the doorway by three police officers who then politely invited him to the police station to discuss some matters.
Jiang Chengzhi cursed under his breath, realizing that Xu Zhengyang had probably already been arrested.
However, the situation shouldn't be too serious. After all, Xu Zhengyang's status is what it is. As long as there's no murder or kidnapping, he can be released on bail after paying a small fine and going through the motions. After all, nobody wants to cause any so-called diplomatic incident.
Jiang Chengzhi understood that since they had been keeping an eye on Xu Zhengyang for a long time, they must also know about the strong stance taken by the Chinese leadership when Xu Zhengyang was detained by the FBI in Dunsbo, USA. Therefore, they shouldn't be so foolish as to treat Xu Zhengyang that foolishly.
However... it's still quite troublesome.
I don't know what my brother-in-law, aunt, and uncle were thinking, letting him out to cause trouble.
Xu Zhengyang was arrested on suspicion of intimidating and threatening the personal freedom of others, and some people in the police station have stated that they will prosecute him for assaulting police officers and using extraordinary means to coerce the police.
As for what extraordinary measures might be used, who knows...
When a dozen fully armed police officers and immigration officers arrived at Ding Changri's apartment, the two policemen who had led Xu Zhengyang in earlier finally came to their senses and looked at each other in surprise, asking each other with their eyes, "Hey, buddy, what are we doing here?"
Let's explain when we get back to the police station.
Xu Zhengyang had no intention of having any violent conflict with the police. So he treated the people who came with a very gentle attitude and readily agreed to go to the police station with the police to cooperate with the investigation and questioning.
However, what embarrassed the immigration and police was that Ding Changri did not seem to have any dissatisfaction or feel threatened. Instead, he kept explaining to the police and immigration officers that Xu Zhengyang was his friend who had come from China to visit him.
Logically, under these circumstances, the police and immigration officials would naturally not be able to take Xu Zhengyang away again; firstly, it is unreasonable, and secondly, Xu Zhengyang's overly sensitive identity is too much to ask.
But this was indeed very strange; the two police officers who were supposed to be monitoring them couldn't explain what they had done.
Vancouver police have no choice but to take this seriously.
They suspected that the two police officers had been bribed, and that Ding Changri had been threatened in some way.
What surprised and amused the Vancouver police even more was that Xu Zhengyang didn't understand English. My goodness... they had to prepare a translator, making communication quite difficult.
When Xu Zhengyang arrived in Vancouver, Jiang Chengzhi picked him up and took him to Ding Changri's apartment. Therefore, Jiang Chengzhi could not avoid being questioned by the police.
Inside the Vancouver Police Department building.
The relevant investigation and inquiries are underway.
Several people were taken into a separate room for questioning.
To be on the safe side, Xu Zhengyang and Ding Changri had already given the two bodyguards and mistress stern warnings and threats while they were at home. They were certain that even if they had a lot of courage, they wouldn't dare to reveal the bizarre scene they encountered at the police station.
Of course. If they lose control and start saying something inappropriate in the police station, Wang Yonggan and Su Peng could possess them and control them at any time.
As for Jiang Chengzhi, when Xu Zhengyang saw him being invited through the glass, he even nodded and smiled at him. This made Jiang Chengzhi extremely annoyed; "You're really in a good mood..."
Ding Changri sat in his chair with his head down, listening to the translator relay the words of the police officer who had questioned him. He answered according to the pre-arranged plan. However, what made his heart pound was that Xu Zhengyang's voice kept popping into his mind, as if he were whispering in his ear: "Yes, yes, that's a good answer." "Hmm, don't panic, just do it this way..." "Say, you want to go back to China!"...
There's nothing illegal about friends meeting up with each other.
Vancouver police don't seem to have any legitimate reason to detain Ding Changri, do they? Okay, you have reasons to detain him for a while, but he can be released on bail because he didn't break any major laws, and he has the best lawyer waiting outside. It's just that the lawyer is also puzzled; just a few days ago he racked his brains and went to great lengths to keep Ding Changri in Canada, and now he's trying to arrange for Ding Changri to return to China as soon as possible.
Was my client stunned? Or did they have a change of heart?
It's difficult to keep him in Canada, so his salary would be much higher; but it's very easy to send him back home, and his salary would be much lower. It's a matter of time and difficulty. Okay. As a lawyer, one must have professional ethics and try one's best to consider the client's mindset and thoughts.
...
Meanwhile, upon learning of this news, the domestic authorities immediately lodged a protest through diplomatic channels: "Hey, you are violating the human rights and freedoms of our citizens. This is unreasonable. We express our serious concern and hope that you will immediately and unconditionally release our citizens."
Of course, for some people, this is the worst news they want to hear!
How could this be? Has Ding Changri gone mad?! Holy crap!
What happened when we arrived at the destination?
I'm sorry, we can't get in touch with Ding Changri; moreover, it's very inconvenient for these people to make direct contact with that country right now. So, the vast skies above the earth are filled with flames of furious rage and the silent language of bared teeth: Kill him! We must kill him! We can't let him come back!
While feigning solidarity with the Li family and siding with them in condemning the actions of the Vancouver police, they secretly contacted some underworld forces in Vancouver, determined to kill Ding Changri and Xu Zhengyang at any cost.
Vancouver, Canada, 11:30 p.m.
