Kong Zhanlei's emotions were incredibly complex.
If Qin Hanchu was truly Hu Qingshan's disciple, then this revenge could likely not be exacted.
Although the Kong family had several Grandmasters, they were no match for Hu Qingshan.
Furthermore, Hu Qingshan possessed a terrifying network of contacts.
The Kong family paled in comparison.
"Hu Qingshan is also in Island City?" Kong Zhanlei asked heavily.
"I heard Hu Qingshan has already passed away," Lin Jiaxue said.
"Truly?" Kong Zhanlei asked, shocked.
If Hu Qingshan was indeed dead, then there would be nothing to fear.
"Qin Hanchu said so," Lin Wansheng replied.
"Divine Physician Hu, although you have helped me, the hatred for the death of my grandson is irreconcilable. May you rest in peace and not blame me." Kong Zhanlei looked up at the sky, and after speaking, he pointed at Lin Wansheng and the other man, saying, "If it weren't for you two, my grandson wouldn't have been killed. You two go and accompany him."
"Wait!" Lin Jiaxue hurriedly shouted, "Even if you're going to kill me, can I die after Qin Hanchu? I want to see him die!"
"Yes, let us watch Qin Hanchu die first!" Lin Wansheng also shouted urgently.
"Fine, I will grant your wish." Kong Zhanlei said angrily, "Notify the people in Island City and have them apprehend Qin Hanchu. Don't let him escape."
...
In a hot pot restaurant in Island City, Qin Hanchu and the other three were eating hot pot.
Lin Ying was dipping a slice of fatty beef and said, "Hanchu, the Kong family has considerable influence in Lushan Prefecture. You eliminated their direct descendants, which is no different from poking a hornet's nest."
"If he's dead, he's dead. Whatever methods the Kong family has, I'll face them," Qin Hanchu said after taking a sip of juice.
"You'd better hurry and contact a Grandmaster expert, or you won't be able to withstand the Kong family's retaliation," Jin Hailu said worriedly.
"It's already arranged, no need to worry," Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
As the four were chatting, hundreds of Peacekeeping Army soldiers flooded into the hot pot restaurant.
"What's going on?" Qin Hanchu asked curiously, looking at the soldiers.
"They're probably here for you," Lin Ying said.
Just then, a man in a commander's uniform walked in with an imposing air.
His gaze immediately locked onto Qin Hanchu, and then he walked over with a group of men.
"You guys continue eating, I'll go deal with this," Qin Hanchu said.
"Do you need any help?" Lin Ying asked.
"Don't worry, it's a small matter," Qin Hanchu said, picking up the slice of fatty beef Lin Ying had just cooked and putting it into his own bowl.
"That's my beef," Lin Ying said dejectedly.
"I have to go now, can't I eat a few more bites?" Qin Hanchu said.
"Here, you can have mine too." Xin Xin also moved the fatty beef from her bowl to Qin Hanchu.
Jin Hailu asked with concern, "Are you sure you can handle this? This is the Peacekeeping Army!"
"Wait for me at home, I'll definitely come back safely," Qin Hanchu said.
"You'd better keep your word. If anything happens to you, don't blame us for marrying someone else." Although Qin Hanchu was confident, Jin Hailu was still very worried.
Hearing this, Qin Hanchu quickly said, "I haven't handed over my Yang Rui yet, so I absolutely won't die."
At this remark, Jin Hailu and Lin Ying's faces immediately turned red.
As Qin Hanchu was eating the fatty beef, the Peacekeeping Army commander and his subordinates arrived in front of him.
"You are Qin Hanchu!" the commander glared at Qin Hanchu, his eyes seeming to want to tear him apart.
"Yes, what is it?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"Are you asking the obvious?" the commander said angrily.
Qin Hanchu took another bite of fatty beef and chuckled, "Is it about Kong Xuanxiang?"
"Since you know, then come with us," the commander said coldly.
"What business does your Peacekeeping Army have with this matter? Even if there's an investigation, it shouldn't be your turn, right?" Qin Hanchu asked.
The commander reprimanded angrily, "You don't need to tell us how we do things. Now, are you coming with us? If you resist, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Alright, I'll go with you," Qin Hanchu said, standing up.
"Take him away!" the commander said coldly.
A soldier from the Peacekeeping Army stepped forward and reached out to put handcuffs on Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu said coldly, "No need for handcuffs."
"Do you think you have the right to object?" the commander roared.
Qin Hanchu looked calmly at the commander and said, "The matter of Kong Xuanxiang has absolutely nothing to do with your Peacekeeping Army. Even if it's brought before the Prefect, you have no grounds. I'm going with you; that's already giving you plenty of face. Don't be ungrateful!"
"You..."
Qin Hanchu's words enraged the commander.
Before he could say anything more, Qin Hanchu continued, "Do you want me to call the Prefect?"
"Fine, I'll let you be arrogant for a while longer." The commander's face was flushed with anger, but he dared not to continue arguing.
The Kong family's order to him was to simply apprehend Qin Hanchu and prevent his escape.
If the matter were to reach the Prefect, he would have no right to control Qin Hanchu.
In fact, he would even be disciplined for privately deploying the Peacekeeping Army.
Prefectural Building.
Wang Zhan was still handling official business.
Just then, a man in black suddenly appeared in the room.
"What is it?" Wang Zhan asked, looking up.
"Young Master killed Kong Zhanlei's grandson, and the commander of the Third Battalion of the Peacekeeping Army has taken Young Master to the Third Battalion base," the man in black replied.
"How did he get into conflict with Kong Zhanlei's grandson?" Wang Zhan asked, confused.
The man in black explained the situation in detail.
"Notify Blood Wolf to patrol the Third Battalion. He doesn't need to overtly help Young Master, just to deter the Peacekeeping Army." The Blood Wolf that Wang Zhan spoke of was the burly middle-aged man who had been with Wang Zhan earlier.
He was a former core member of the Asura Army's Blood Kill Hall and now served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Peacekeeping Army!
"Understood!" the man in black replied and left directly through the window.
"Kong Zhanlei?" Wang Zhan murmured contemptuously, "Even if he came in person, he would only be seeking death!"
Meanwhile, Qin Hanchu had already been escorted to the Third Battalion's stronghold.
As soon as he got out of the car, Qin Hanchu was locked into the training hall.
To ensure Qin Hanchu wouldn't escape, the commander had arranged for over a hundred men to surround the area.
Half an hour later, several helicopters landed at the base.
Seeing this, the commander hurried to greet them and said respectfully, "Greetings, Old Ancestor, greetings, Patriarch!"
"Where is the person?" Kong Zhanlei asked, his killing intent surging.
Led by the commander, the Kong family members entered the training hall together.
"You killed my grandson!" Kong Zhanlei saw Qin Hanchu at a glance and roared in anger.
"Yes, it was me," Qin Hanchu said calmly, with his hands behind his back.
"Very good, today I will use your life to mourn my dear grandson," Kong Zhanlei said furiously, and slowly approached Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu stood still and said, "Dear grandson? A person who acts recklessly, and you use the word 'dear' in your mouth?"
"He is my grandson, and you don't need to comment on him. Give me your life!" Kong Zhanlei roared and suddenly accelerated towards Qin Hanchu.
