"Fine, let's see how you plan to kill me?"
Lu Yang sneered, showing no regard for Liu Guanghui, the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Forget a mere director, even the provincial governor of Jiang Province would have to bow respectfully to Lu Yang, and that was when Lu Yang was only a Major General. Now, Lu Yang was a Lieutenant General, making Liu Guanghui even less significant in his eyes. Lu Yang wondered what Liu Guanghui's thoughts would be upon seeing him now.
"Do you dare let me make a phone call?"
Liu Guanghui shouted coldly at Lu Yang.
"Sure, I'll give you this chance. But this is your last chance, so make sure you grab it!"
Lu Yang was unfazed. There wasn't anyone in the entire Jiang Province who could make Lu Yang fear.
"You wait, I'll get my brother-in-law to kill you right away!"
After speaking, Liu Guanghui pulled out his phone and made a call.
"Brother-in-law, save me!"
At this moment, an old man was sitting in a lounge chair, leisurely drinking tea. Upon receiving Liu Guanghui's call, his brow furrowed instantly.
"What's going on?"
The old man asked in a cold voice.
"My leg was broken by someone, and he's threatening to kill me!"
Liu Guanghui continued.
"What? Who has the guts to dare to hit you? Don't they know you're the director of the Jiangbei City Police Bureau?"
Hearing this, the old man's face darkened further, and he spoke in a cold tone.
"I told him, but he simply didn't care!"
"He's the mysterious chairman of Haitong Group. He's in my office right now. Brother-in-law, hurry up and bring people. If you're any later, I'll be beaten to death!"
Liu Guanghui cried out.
"Haitong Group? Mysterious chairman?"
The old man had heard of the name, but he led a secluded life and rarely involved himself in such matters, so he wasn't very familiar with it.
"Wait there, I'll be there in ten minutes!"
The old man thought for a moment, directly hung up the phone, and then, with over a dozen of his subordinates, headed towards the Jiangbei City Industry and Commerce Bureau.
This old man was Wu Tongwei of Tongwei Martial Arts Hall in Jiangbei City, and he was also a master at the peak of Inner Force. In the entire Jiangbei City, he was considered a first-class expert. After all, Jiangbei City was a small place, and to have cultivated martial arts to the Inner Force realm was already quite remarkable.
However, Wu Tongwei was always engrossed in his cultivation and knew very little about other matters. He didn't even know who Lu Yang was, so he was determined to go and confront him.
Ten minutes later, Wu Tongwei arrived at the Jiangbei City Industry and Commerce Bureau with his dozen disciples. At this time, Liu Guanghui was kneeling before Lu Yang, his leg already swollen.
"Brother-in-law, you're finally here! Hurry up and get rid of this kid, take revenge for me!"
Seeing Wu Tongwei arrive, Liu Guanghui said excitedly. He knew that his brother-in-law had real skills and was incredibly powerful. He could shake a tree that required two people to embrace with just one punch; he was that formidable.
"Who are you, to dare to beat Liu Guanghui like this?"
Wu Tongwei looked at Lu Yang and asked coldly.
"Didn't Liu Guanghui tell you on the phone? I am the chairman of Haitong Group. This Liu Guanghui, as the director of the Jiangbei City Industry and Commerce Bureau, abused his power. Relying on his authority, he refused to process our company's business license. Do you think I shouldn't have hit him?"
Lu Yang looked at Wu Tongwei and said indifferently.
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Wu Tongwei frowned again. He was always just and couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing. He initially thought his brother had been beaten for no reason, but now it seemed his brother had abused his power, got caught, and was severely punished.
"Brother-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense! I didn't abuse my power at all. Their submitted documents were incomplete, and they wanted me to process it. When I refused, they threatened me. In the end, I had no choice but to let them beat me like this. These are scum, brother-in-law, you must cripple them all and get revenge for me!"
Liu Guanghui immediately shouted loudly.
"No abuse of power? What about this woman? Are you asking me to recount your recent illicit affair?"
Lu Yang sneered. No matter how Liu Guanghui explained it, the facts were undeniable.
"Liu Guanghui, look at the mess you've made!"
Wu Tongwei glanced up at a woman sitting on the sofa, wrapped entirely in clothes, and instantly understood that Lu Yang was telling the truth. His brother was engaging in public indecency, which was truly astonishing.
However, Wu Tongwei's wife had died years ago. Before she died, she entrusted her only brother to Wu Tongwei, asking him to take good care of him. Even though Wu Tongwei couldn't tolerate any wrongdoing, seeing his brother's thigh broken by someone made him feel very pained, and his eyes turned icy.
"Sir, even if Liu Guanghui made a mistake, he should be handed over to the relevant authorities for processing. You directly broke his leg; isn't that a bit excessive?"
Wu Tongwei looked at Lu Yang and said in a cold voice.
"What? Excessive? Hahaha, if you speak like that, then I have nothing more to say to you!"
"Show me whatever skills you have!"
Lu Yang had initially thought that Wu Tongwei had some sense of justice, but he didn't expect him to shield Liu Guanghui, which immediately made Lu Yang sneer.
"Fine, since you want to resolve this matter with martial arts, then I will too!"
"I am the master of Tongwei Martial Arts Hall, my name is Wu Tongwei, and my cultivation is at the peak of Inner Force. You are only in your twenties, so you should have just entered the Inner Force realm. I won't bully you; I'll let you fight my disciples. If you can defeat my disciples, I'll pretend I never came here today, and you can do whatever you wish!"
"If you lose, you'll leave with your people, and I will spare Liu Guanghui's life!"
Wu Tongwei was merely at the peak of Inner Force. He had no awareness of someone like Lu Yang, who was at the Half-step Divine Realm. In his eyes, Lu Yang was just an ordinary person, showing no true qi fluctuations.
"Hmm? You want your disciples to fight me? Are you kidding me?"
"Let alone your disciples, I could crush you with a single pinky finger!"
"People like you are even less than ants on the ground in my eyes!"
Hearing Wu Tongwei's words, Lu Yang shook his head helplessly. It wasn't that his cultivation realm was too high, but that Wu Tongwei's was too low. The gap between them was like heaven and earth. Even if Wu Tongwei cultivated for his entire life, he wouldn't be Lu Yang's match.
"What did you say? How dare you speak to my master like that? I'll kill you!"
Hearing this, before Wu Tongwei could make a move, his disciple couldn't wait any longer and lunged towards Lu Yang.
