Jiang Hei clenched his fists, eager to fight.
Zong Ze was annoyed by the arrogance of the Sang nation people. "Brother, I'll take care of these shorties!"
"Brother, you can't go!"
Su Yang held back Zong Ze. "Deputy Officer Lai, go teach these shorties a lesson and show them your heroic spirit!"
"This... I was just stung by a hornet, and my injuries haven't healed yet..."
Lai Jianyuan was afraid of death and dared not go into battle.
Su Yang took out his phone. "Go beat them up, and I'll film it for you and post it on Douyu. With my popularity, many people will see your fight. Don't you want to take over Director Zong's position in next year's election?"
Lai Jianyuan looked around and saw that Ding Bowen and the others had not appeared yet. He couldn't care less.
Relying on his good martial arts skills, Lai Jianyuan took a few steps forward.
"Shorty, come at me if you dare, I'll teach you how to be a man!"
"Baka!"
Kawasaki quickly drew his sword and slashed at Lai Jianyuan.
The two fought back and forth, exchanging a dozen blows in just a few minutes.
Su Yang pulled Zong Ze and the others back, retreating far away.
Before Zong Ze could speak, he heard a "rumbling" explosion.
Lai Jianyuan screamed as his right leg was blown off.
As for Kawasaki and the others, they were reduced to ashes at that moment.
Zong Ze and the others patted their chests in fear. "Fortunately, Brother Su pulled me back, otherwise we would have been blown up!"
Bai Zhan Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "These Sang nation people are too cunning. They wanted to drag us down with them before they died!"
Everyone was grateful and admired Su Yang's foresight and decisiveness.
"Director, save me... My leg is broken..."
Lai Jianyuan rolled on the ground, clutching his broken leg, screaming in pain.
Su Yang stepped forward and looked down at Lai Jianyuan. "Deputy Officer Lai, where are your allies?"
"W-what allies?"
"Still pretending? You're dying, how long do you plan to pretend?"
"I-I don't know what you mean."
Lai Jianyuan's face changed. He would rather face Zong Ze than Su Yang.
It was too uncanny! It was as if there was nothing he couldn't see through.
"If you don't tell me, then just wait here to die!"
Lai Jianyuan gritted his teeth and refused to speak.
Su Yang knew he was holding onto a glimmer of hope and couldn't be bothered to ask further. He took a flare from his embrace.
"Su Yang, give it back to me!"
Lai Jianyuan struggled desperately to get up and snatch the flare back, but Jiang Hei slapped him hard.
"Speak, why are you carrying this? Who were you going to signal?"
Lai Jianyuan spat out a few bloody teeth. "I'm from the Security Bureau, isn't it normal for me to carry this?"
Jiang Hei slapped him again. "Answer when Brother Yang asks you!"
Lai Jianyuan was dizzy from Jiang Hei's blows. "Su Yang, it's useless to kill me. Even if you can find the Dragon Head, you won't have the life to bring it back!"
Zong Ze and Bai Zhan Chen were bewildered, with many questions in their hearts.
Su Yang pulled the cord, and with a "bang," a cloud of yellow smoke slowly spread across the sky.
Soon after.
Hundreds of soldiers and bodyguards who had been ambushed on both sides rushed over.
Led by Ding Bowen and Liu Heng, they were shocked to see Lai Jianyuan being captured.
"Damn it! It's a trap!"
"Divine Doctor Ding, are you surprised?"
Su Yang smiled and threw the flare in front of Ding Bowen.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh? Then why did you bring your men here?"
Ding Bowen scanned the scene. Su Yang and Zong Ze had far more men than them, and their individual combat capabilities were also much stronger. He hadn't expected Su Yang to have secretly trained so many people, information Lai Jianyuan didn't even have. His intelligence was flawed.
"I heard there were people from the Sang nation here, and I came specifically to eliminate the invaders."
Su Yang sneered. "Stop pretending. You colluded with Deputy Officer Lai to capture me and Director Zong. This matter can't be hidden from me!"
"Su Yang, you can eat anything, but you can't say anything. What evidence do you have that I colluded with Lai Jianyuan?"
Su Yang squatted down and found a check on Lai Jianyuan.
"Last night, didn't you give Lai Jianyuan a sum of money? Whose signature is this?"
Ding Bowen's face changed drastically, and Lai Jianyuan was even more desperate.
"Attack!"
However, the men he brought hesitated to act.
Zhou Budao's subordinate asked, "Divine Doctor Ding, why did you tell us it was a bandit suppression, and what is this situation?"
"Exactly, our Construction Bureau will not make a move!"
The men brought by Liu Heng and Wang Jinlong panicked even more. They didn't dare to point their guns at hundreds of regular soldiers.
Seeing that they wouldn't move, Ding Bowen was furious but decisive. Since there was no turning back, he decided to kill Su Yang and Zong Ze first.
—Bang bang bang!
Ding Bowen shot Su Yang several times. Before he could celebrate, he saw the bullets blocked by a milky white light.
Jiang Hei seized Ding Bowen's hand and punched him in the head.
Liu Heng and Wang Jinlong, seeing the situation was bad, turned to flee. Zong Ze raised his hand and fired two shots.
—Bang bang!
The patriarch of the Liu family and the boss of Shengshi Media Company died just like that.
Ding Bowen panicked. "Su Yang, as long as you let me go, I promise not to compete with you for Man Ge."
"A joke. Do you have the ability?"
"I-I can teach you medicine, and I have many prescriptions."
"You learned Western medicine, and I'm not interested in your pathetic stuff!"
Su Yang waved his hand, and Jiang Hei landed several more punches on Ding Bowen's head.
"Su Yang, I have Director Zhou behind me. I'm his savior. You can't kill me."
Ding Bowen was scared and quickly invoked his backer.
"Director Zhou and his son's illnesses are no problem for me. You'd better go to hell obediently!"
"Su Yang, please don't kill me... As long as you don't kill me, I'll do whatever you say!"
Ding Bowen threw his dignity aside and knelt on the ground with a thud, begging for mercy.
Su Yang looked at Lai Jianyuan, who was hiding a huge secret and refused to speak, because revealing it would mean certain death. However, it didn't matter who said it.
"Ding Bowen, tell Director Zong everything you discussed with Deputy Officer Lai last night, and I won't kill you!"
Ding Bowen nodded. "Director Zong, Deputy Officer Lai said he would cooperate with me from the inside. After he captures you and Su Yang, he would fire the flare. Also, that Chen Xiao was assassinated by his men, not by Director Zhou."
—Boom!
Zong Ze was enraged upon hearing this, and his aura surged outwards like a tide.
Zong Ze kicked Lai Jianyuan fiercely. "You scoundrel, why did you kill him?"
Lai Jianyuan no longer denied it, his face contorted with ferocity. "Because he stood in my way, didn't he deserve to die?"
"You beast..."
Zong Ze continued to beat him until Lai Jianyuan died.
Su Yang waved his hand, and Jiang Hei tore Ding Bowen apart with his fists. Ding Bowen's eyes widened as he died.
After Zong Ze calmed down, he ordered people to search for the Dragon Head.
Inside the cave, there were only about a dozen boxes of various cultural relics, but the Dragon Head was nowhere to be found. Although these relics were precious, they were far inferior to the Dragon Head.
Zong Ze said in a deep voice, "Brother, those Sang nation people are serious. I don't know where they've hidden the Dragon Head."
"Let them wait outside, we'll go in!"
