Tang Geng was somewhat bewildered!
He didn't understand why Han Lang had asked him, time and again, to protect Zhao Wei and prevent him from getting hurt.
But seeing Han Lang's serious expression, and considering the current predicament, he unhesitatingly piloted his flying sword, intending to stop Wang Shan from attacking Zhao Wei.
It happened in a flash!
Wang Shan's fist and Tang Geng's flying sword reached Zhao Wei's chest almost simultaneously.
With a "clang."
The tip of the flying sword struck Wang Shan's arm precisely.
Protected by his scales, Wang Shan was unharmed, but his attack was completely thrown off course.
The punch, originally aimed at Zhao Wei's chest, ended up hitting his left shoulder with full force.
With a "crack," Zhao Wei's shoulder bone instantly fractured.
"Ah~"
He screamed in agonizing pain.
At the same time, the golden needle that had been following Wang Shan pierced his body as expected.
The golden needle sealed his meridians, instantly effective!
Wang Shan's body trembled, and Han Lang, seizing the opportunity, did not hesitate to inject several more golden needles, completely immobilizing Wang Shan.
Thus, the great battle finally came to an end!
Relaxed, Han Lang cast a cold glance at Zhao Wei, who was clutching his shoulder and gritting his teeth, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
Tang Geng, seeing this, was perplexed.
Han Lang's actions clearly showed he disliked Zhao Wei, so why did he save him repeatedly?
With his doubts, he couldn't help but ask softly.
"Brother Han Lang! Zhao Wei isn't someone you know well, is he? Why did you protect him so many times? Wang Shan is an ability user; even if you killed him, the Zhao family wouldn't dare to say anything!"
Han Lang looked at Tang Geng with some surprise and retorted, "Brother Tang Geng, do you really think Wang Shan's punch would have killed Zhao Wei?"
Tang Geng was even more confused.
The force that shattered a shoulder bone, if his flying sword hadn't deflected Wang Shan's attack, which would have hit his heart directly, wouldn't it have shattered his internal organs and caused immediate death?
How could that be?
Han Lang seemed to see through Tang Geng's confusion and asked again.
"Don't you find Zhao Wei's behavior in this fight very strange?"
Tang Geng nodded repeatedly. "Of course! If he hadn't acted rashly at the critical moment, this fight would have ended long ago! I will definitely report this matter to the higher authorities about the Zhao family!"
As Tang Geng spoke, he suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes widening in surprise.
"Han... Brother Han Lang, you... you mean he intentionally got injured so he would have a reason to explain to the investigating authorities?"
Han Lang nodded noncommittally.
"Wang Shan was supported by the Zhao family. Now that his identity as an ability user is confirmed, the Zhao family is bound to be held responsible. If they don't act righteously, how can they silence the public outcry!"
Hearing this, Tang Geng finally understood Han Lang's meaning completely and was also deeply impressed by Han Lang's sharp thinking.
"You're amazing, Brother Han Lang! Although I had some suspicions, I couldn't think deeply during the fight. Your mind is much quicker than mine!"
Han Lang chuckled, "Not at all. I'm just a bit petty! However, this matter, perhaps, we might even consider it from a worse perspective!"
Seeing Han Lang's meaningful smile, Tang Geng fell into confusion once more.
However, Han Lang did not offer further explanation at this moment. Instead, he walked directly to Wang Shan and looked at him expressionlessly.
"The winner takes all! If I fall into your hands today, you can kill me or torture me as you please!"
"Oh, not bad for the head of a powerful family, quite spirited!"
Han Lang completely disregarded Wang Shan's words and asked him with a serious expression.
"Tell me! What is the real truth behind the suicide by jumping from the building of the Luo family couple at the Letian Building before?"
Wang Shan was somewhat surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, his eyes darting around as an idea struck him.
"Oh! You mean that matter. Dealing with two cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining, isn't it a piece of cake?"
Han Lang was somewhat annoyed but still listened carefully to Wang Shan's account.
It turned out that
A year ago,
Wang Shan, in order to surpass the Tang family and become the leader of the powerful families in Lecheng, to complete the task entrusted by the Zhao family, did not hesitate to go all out and acquire land on a large scale, developing Lecheng's real estate industry.
This included the Lingyue Mountain villa complex, which led to the Luo family's bankruptcy, and is now known as the Lingyue Mountain Villa.
He thought that with the Zhao family's assistance, this matter would be easily accomplished.
But unexpectedly, the Lecheng municipal government suddenly changed its urban construction plan, causing the prices of many of Wang Shan's properties to plummet.
To stop the losses, he had to use his status as a member of a powerful family to trick some second and third-rate families into investing and buying those properties that were destined to be abandoned.
However, paper cannot wrap fire!
Especially not the Luo family couple, who were deeply involved!
With no other recourse, the couple had to reveal their cultivator identities, which they had intended to hide for their entire lives, to threaten Wang Shan into returning their hard-earned money.
At that time, Wang Shan was still an ordinary person. Facing cultivators, he naturally had to be cautious.
Thus, he personally appeased them several times, which is why he visited them personally on one occasion, allowing Luo Jiaying to remember his voice.
However, as time went by, Wang Shan gradually grasped the true strength of the Luo family couple.
It turned out that they were merely cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining, the lowest rung of the cultivator world!
Without resources, without background, and unwilling to join the dark web like other unscrupulous cultivators, they ultimately chose to live in anonymity and become ordinary people.
After learning everything, Wang Shan decided to win them over!
Although their strength was not high, they could serve as his henchmen, secretly helping him and Jin Chunfeng resolve some issues.
The conditions he offered were very high, even exceeding the value of the Lingyue Mountain villa complex.
Unexpectedly, the Luo family couple directly refused.
They only wanted Wang Shan to return what belonged to them!
As a result, Wang Shan lost his patience.
Under the Luo family couple's persistent demands, he finally used the excuse of repurchasing the Lingyue Mountain villa complex to lure the Luo family couple to the top floor of the Letian Building.
On that day, the people dining on the top floor had no apparent relationship, but they were all arranged by Wang Shan, including all the service staff of that establishment.
Of course, since he intended to deal with the Luo family couple, cultivators were among those people.
The battle was almost without suspense!
The Luo family couple were blasted from the high-rise building.
After the incident, all the people dining on the rooftop gave unified testimonies, saying that the couple had jumped to their deaths themselves.
At the same time, Wang Shan, using his influence as a member of a powerful family, with little effort, completely defined the incident as a case of investment failure and suicide by jumping.
In addition,
The Luo family couple, in order to maintain a low profile and avoid exposing their cultivator identities, had almost no true friends other than Han Lang's parents.
Naturally, no one would raise any doubts! Eventually, the matter was dropped.
Until Han Lang became suspicious; until the Gou family sought peace, and he inadvertently heard the truth of these events;
