"Is this kid out of his mind? How dare he challenge Young Master Zhao? Doesn't he know Young Master Zhao's status? The entire police department is under Young Master Zhao's control!"
"It's the early bird that catches the worm, that's what they say about people like him. He thinks being the Tang family's useless son-in-law is something to be proud of, completely unaware of what death truly means!"
"When the police drag him to jail later, he'll learn what Young Master Zhao's methods are!"
"..."
The group of henchmen sneered coldly again.
Soon, three people alighted from the police car. The one in front was a beautiful woman, tall and curvaceous, a true police flower.
"Officer Cheng... Officer Cheng?"
Upon seeing the arrival, Zhao Xingkai's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stepped forward and asked obsequiously.
The beauty before him was Cheng Wanyun, the newly appointed deputy director of the police department. Not only was she extremely beautiful, but she also had a powerful background, rumored to be a descendant of a prominent family in Yan Jing. Zhao Xingkai had fallen in love with Cheng Wanyun at first sight and was aggressively pursuing her.
Cheng Wanyun ignored Zhao Xingkai and asked everyone, "Who reported the police just now?"
"It was me!"
"Officer Cheng, this is my house sale contract. It clearly states that only the old house is being sold, and it does not include the contents within. Now, not only are they preventing me from entering, but they've also sent their subordinates to beat me!"
"Look how they've beaten me, even tearing my clothes!"
Lu Yang pointed to his already tattered clothes and pretended to be pitiful.
"What kind of bullshit are you spouting? When did I ever lay a hand on you? It was your people who beat up my people!"
"Officer Cheng, look at my men lying on the ground. They were all beaten by those two good-for-nothings next to this kid. Hurry up and arrest this kid and throw him into jail!"
Bai Hao immediately retorted loudly.
"That was self-defense, wasn't it?"
"Oh, and Officer Cheng, he just said that if I could produce ten times the amount, he'd let me buy back my old house. Now that I've brought the money, he's gone back on his word, like spewing shit. Can you believe a person like this?"
Lu Yang sneered and continued.
"Officer Cheng, don't listen to this trash. He's just the Tang family's useless son-in-law, with no ability whatsoever. Who knows where he scammed this money from? Arrest him immediately and interrogate him thoroughly!"
Bai Hao roared again.
"Enough, both of you stop talking!"
"I can see what's happening today. You've occupied his ancestral home, not only refusing to return it but also issuing threats and intimidation here!"
"As the Deputy Director of the police department, I will handle this matter today. According to the amount on the house sale contract, you give him thirty thousand, and you return the ancestral home to him!"
Cheng Wanyun said coldly to Bai Hao.
"Why? I won't return it even for three million, and you want me to give it back for thirty thousand? You damn woman, don't think you're so great just because you're wearing that uniform! I'm sworn brothers with Young Master Zhao, like real siblings. Who the hell do you think you are, ordering me around?"
"Believe it or not, Young Master Zhao can have you stripped bare with a single word!"
Hearing Cheng Wanyun's words, Bai Hao instantly flew into a rage, his words filled with threats.
However, he failed to notice Zhao Xingkai's expression had already changed.
"Oh? Is that so? I didn't expect Young Master Zhao to have such great authority that he doesn't even put me, a deputy director, in his eyes?"
Cheng Wanyun sneered, her expression turning icy.
"Officer Cheng, this person has nothing to do with me. Don't listen to his nonsense, I was just passing by!"
Zhao Xingkai said with an awkward smile, cold sweat already breaking out on his back.
"Young Master Zhao, why are you..."
"She's just a minor police officer in the department, why are you afraid of her?"
"Oh... I get it. You've taken a liking to this little dame, haven't you? How much money do you need? Just name your price, I guarantee I can help you marry her. In this day and age, there's nothing money can't buy!"
Bai Hao said with a lecherous grin, believing that money made the world go round and nothing was impossible.
"Slap..."
The moment Bai Hao finished speaking, he was slapped across the face. The one who struck him was none other than Zhao Xingkai, who had just called Bai Hao his brother.
"Young Master Zhao, you..."
Bai Hao clutched his face, not understanding why Zhao Xingkai had hit him.
"You idiot! Officer Cheng is the Deputy Director of our police department, transferred from Yan Jing for training. My father has to smile and appease her, and you, a nobody, dare to order her around?"
"Your Bai family's assets are nothing in Officer Cheng's eyes!"
"Do as Officer Cheng says immediately!"
Zhao Xingkai berated Bai Hao coldly.
"Yes, yes!"
"Officer Cheng, I apologize. My eyes are as dull as dog's eyes, and I didn't recognize you. Please don't hold it against me. I'll do as you say right now!"
Zhao Xingkai immediately apologized to Cheng Wanyun and then resold Lu Yang's ancestral home to Lu Yang for thirty thousand yuan.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhao Xingkai breathed a sigh of relief and asked Cheng Wanyun, "Officer Cheng, are you satisfied now?"
"It's acceptable!"
"Disperse!"
Cheng Wanyun said and prepared to leave.
"Officer Cheng, do you have time tonight? I've booked a VIP room at the Guoxing Grand Hotel, and I'd like to treat you to dinner!"
Zhao Xingkai continued to ask.
"No time!"
Cheng Wanyun replied and left the scene directly.
As she walked past Lu Yang, she detected a special aura emanating from him. This aura was very subtle but extremely powerful.
Cheng Wanyun's eyes widened, and she carefully observed Lu Yang.
"Officer Cheng? Is something wrong?"
Lu Yang felt a bit uneasy being stared at by Cheng Wanyun and asked cautiously.
"Nothing!"
Cheng Wanyun said, then got into the police car and drove away.
"Kid, you wait! Officer Cheng is protecting you today, so I can't do anything to you. But next time, let's see who protects you!"
"And your Tang family, prepare to face the wrath of our Bai family!"
Bai Hao roared coldly, and together with Zhao Xingkai, he led his men away from the Lu family's old residence.
Lu Yang shrugged indifferently, instructing the two men in black suits to take the remaining money back to Hailong Group, while he entered the Lu family's old residence.
The Lu family's old residence had a history of over fifty years in Jiangbei City, but it was built in a very ancient style.
"I'll go back and discuss with Grandma. It's time to renovate the Lu family's old residence!"
Lu Yang thought faintly as he touched the faded bricks and tiles.
After thinking, Lu Yang went directly into the room where his grandfather used to live. He then moved the bed and began to dig with a shovel. A few minutes later, he indeed unearthed a black box. The material of this box should be the same as the one containing the Black Dragon Token. Its black and red surface was exquisitely crafted, adorned with soaring dragons and dancing phoenixes, lifelike.
