Just as Lu Yang and Lu Xue reached the entrance of Cloudtop Villa, a car with a Jiangbei City Special Department license plate slowly drove over. Three men emerged from the car, led by a man in uniform.
"Hello, Mr. Lu, Miss Lu!"
The leading man smiled faintly at Lu Yang, not saying much, but turning his gaze to Lu Xue.
"We heard you encountered danger, so we from the Jiangbei City Special Department immediately rushed over. Miss Lu, are you alright?"
The man asked with a smile, looking at Lu Xue.
"Do you think I should be alright, or not?"
Lu Xue retorted, looking at the man.
"Of course, we hope you are fine. We are here specifically to protect you. Several forces have entered Jiangbei City these past few days, and it turns out they were targeting Miss Lu. But rest assured, with the protection of the Jiangbei City Special Department, you will be perfectly safe. Please come with us now!"
The man continued.
"What do you mean?"
"You want to take me away?"
"Where were you when I was in danger just now? Do you know that if it weren't for Lu Yang, I would have been killed by now? And now you show up and want to take me away? Who gave you the courage?"
Hearing the man's words, Lu Xue immediately questioned him coldly.
"What happened just now was not what we wanted to happen, after all, the enemy was too cunning. But rest assured, we will absolutely guarantee your safety twenty-four hours a day. We have already arranged for a military aircraft to send you back to New Country tomorrow!"
The man did not show any remorse for his dereliction of duty; instead, he spoke matter-of-factly.
"Excuse me, Lu Xue is my guest, and she will not be going with you!"
Lu Yang stepped forward directly, looking at the man and saying.
"Mr. Lu, we are from the Jiangbei City Special Department. Please cooperate."
The man directly took out his identification, showing no intention of yielding.
"Cooperate? Why should I cooperate with you?"
"If your people had saved Lu Xue just now, I might cooperate. But you weren't even seen, and now that we are safe, you want to take her away? Is there such a good thing in this world?"
"I have reason to suspect that you are in cahoots with them. What guarantees can you provide for Lu Xue's safety if I hand her over to you?"
Lu Yang said impatiently.
"That's not your concern. I represent the country and am currently on official duty. If you dare to obstruct me, I don't mind taking forceful measures!"
The man said coldly to Lu Yang.
"Oh? Let me see what means you have to take forceful measures against me?"
Lu Yang sneered, blocking Lu Xue, and didn't take the men in front of him seriously, believing he could easily knock them away with a single palm.
"Lu Yang, don't think you can be lawless just because you have a bit of money and don't respect anyone. If you anger me, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now?"
The man's expression changed instantly, and he shouted at Lu Yang coldly.
"Kill me? Do you think you have the ability?"
Hearing the man's words, Lu Yang sneered and retorted.
With a "click," the man directly drew his gun and pointed it at Lu Yang's forehead.
"You really refuse the toast only to eat the forfeit. Then don't blame me for being impolite!"
After speaking, the other two also pointed their guns at Lu Yang's forehead.
"That's it?"
Lu Yang sneered, raised his hand, directly snatched the gun, and slapped the man across the face, sending him tumbling to the ground.
"You... You're damn tired of living, daring to directly confront us? You're finished!"
Seeing their leader sent flying by Lu Yang's slap, one of the men on the side immediately roared.
"Do you know what our Jiangbei City Special Department does? We deal with people like you who are lawless. Today, we must kill you to avenge our leader!"
Another man also shouted loudly.
Just as the two were about to pull the triggers, Lu Yang appeared before them like a ghost. They hadn't even seen how Lu Yang made his move; their guns had already turned into parts, all falling to the ground.
"What? How is this possible?"
Both of them looked at the single handles left in their hands and looked at Lu Yang in disbelief.
"This is too terrifying. What kind of monster is this kid?"
They were utterly shocked. Even the most skilled gun disassembly expert couldn't have taken their guns apart in such a short time.
Meanwhile, the man who had been slapped had already gotten up from the ground. He walked over ferociously, grabbed Lu Yang by the collar, and shouted, "Kid, you openly assaulted a member of the state's special department. You're finished. I'm going to take action against you and make you regret being born!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a small black book was shown to him by Lu Yang.
"M-Major General?"
"How is this possible? How can you be a Major General at such a young age?"
Seeing the seal on the small book, the man knew it was real. No one could forge such a thing, nor would anyone dare to.
"You openly pointed a gun at my head. How do you think I should deal with you? Direct execution or breaking all four limbs on the spot?"
"No matter what measures I take, the country shouldn't make things difficult for me because of you, especially since it was self-defense!"
"Now, do you think my hitting you was justified?"
Lu Yang asked the man coldly.
"Just... justified. I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
"Disband, hurry and leave here!"
The man dared not linger, truly afraid that Lu Yang might accidentally kill him. Publicly pointing a gun at a Major General's head was insubordination, and Lu Yang could find any excuse to kill him. Moreover, he had just witnessed Lu Yang's skills and knew he was an unfathomably powerful individual, someone he couldn't afford to provoke.
Soon, the car disappeared in a flash before Lu Yang. It took less than three minutes.
"I didn't expect you to be a Major General. You've once again expanded my understanding of you!"
Lu Xue said with a smile, looking at Lu Yang.
"It's just someone asking for a favor. Honestly, I'm not interested in being a Major General or anything like that."
"But this title seems quite useful now, at least for dealing with these flies!"
Lu Yang said with a smile.
"Perhaps."
Lu Yang smiled slightly and followed her into Cloudtop Villa.
Inside the villa, four of Lu Yang's subordinates were already standing there.
