While Wang Haiyang hesitated, Chu Lingtian walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"You have no other choice now. Play this game with me, and your family can survive. You don't want anything to happen to them, do you!"
Chu Lingtian whispered a few words in Wang Haiyang's ear, which made Wang Haiyang's face turn ashen. He quickly nodded.
Even if Master Long was truly omnipotent, he couldn't possibly contend with the Dragon Lord!
That's right!
Chu Lingtian had revealed his identity to him and told him the secret about Master Long's involvement in the disappearance of the ninth princess.
Only by putting enough pressure on Wang Haiyang could he make him obedient.
"Wang Haiyang, you will regret this, you will definitely regret this!"
Chu Lingtian turned around and said, "Deputy Zhou, he talks too much. Please gag him for me!"
Deputy Zhou immediately ordered his men to gag Jin Peng.
Brother Bao was also gagged.
"Deputy Zhou, you can let everyone else leave. Don't let any of these people go. Lock them all up!"
"If anyone tries to escape, shoot them on the spot!"
Deputy Zhou quickly nodded and was about to leave with his men.
"Oh, and please send my wife and little sister home!"
Chu Lingtian looked up and said, "Wife, you can come down now!"
Liu Bingxue and Liu Huohuo heard Chu Lingtian tell them to come down, and the two of them then came out of the private room and went downstairs.
"Wife, you and Huohuo go back first. I'll have Deputy Zhou escort you!"
Liu Bingxue glanced at Jin Peng and Brother Bao, whose mouths were gagged, and at Wang Haiyang, whose face was pale and covered in sweat. She nodded gently.
Liu Bingxue had met Wang Haiyang a few times before and considered him an acquaintance.
Even the police chief was being controlled by Chu Lingtian. It seemed that this matter was indeed not simple.
Chu Lingtian asking her to leave must have his reasons.
After the two got into the car, Deputy Zhou personally drove them home.
In the car.
Liu Huohuo couldn't help but inquire about Chu Lingtian's true identity. She felt that Liu Bingxue and Chu Lingtian had been hiding it from her all along.
If Chu Lingtian were just a retired soldier, he wouldn't be able to mobilize the army, let alone make Wang Haiyang tremble with fear.
"Sister, tell me the truth, what exactly does Chu Lingtian do? He's definitely more than just a retired soldier, right?" Liu Huohuo asked.
Liu Bingxue smiled faintly, "That's a good question. I also want to know his true identity, but your brother-in-law has never told me!"
Liu Huohuo still didn't quite believe it. Chu Lingtian loved Liu Bingxue so much; he would surely tell her the truth.
"You just don't want to tell me. You really don't consider me your sister! It's all wasted that I helped you just now!"
If it were in the past, Liu Bingxue would have been too lazy to explain and remained silent.
But now it was different. She didn't want Liu Huohuo to misunderstand her.
It was not necessary for the sisters, who had finally reconciled, to fall out over such a trivial matter.
"I swear I don't know either. You might as well ask Deputy Zhou?"
Liu Bingxue said, "If he's on a special mission, he definitely can't tell me!"
That seemed to make some sense!
"Handsome, do you know my brother-in-law's identity?"
Deputy Zhou turned back and said, "I'm not sure about that. He should be a friend of Commander Xiao. I'm just following orders!"
At his level, he definitely wouldn't know Chu Lingtian's identity.
Seeing him say that, Liu Huohuo didn't press further. The key was that asking wouldn't help anyway.
...
In the hall.
Only four people remained here now.
Chu Lingtian!
Jin Peng!
Wang Haiyang!
Brother Bao!
Chu Lingtian stood up and said, "Alright! The game can begin now. Make the call!"
"I've already told you what to say. Don't say anything out of line for the sake of your wife and children!"
Suddenly, Chu Lingtian's expression turned cold.
"It's not just them who will kill your entire family; I will do it too!"
Wang Haiyang, scared, quickly nodded and dialed Master Long's number.
The call was finally answered after a minute.
"Director Wang!"
Wang Haiyang immediately said, "Master Long, something's wrong. Jin Peng has been captured by the military in Da Chang City and is now locked up in a military prison!"
The other party was silent for a long time, seemingly contemplating a solution.
"Master Long, what should we do now? Jin Peng and I just met, and he was taken away. It seems the military is targeting him!"
"I've been there several times, and I haven't even seen Jin Peng."
The other party still didn't speak, but he didn't hang up the phone either.
Wang Haiyang didn't know what Master Long meant and looked at Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian gestured for him not to worry and to wait and see.
Then, Master Long's voice came from the phone again.
"I know about this. Keep a close eye on it. I will send someone to rescue him as soon as possible!"
Master Long said unhurriedly, "Tell them to lie low during this time and not cause any trouble."
"Yes, Master Long!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Long hung up the phone.
Although Jin Peng's mouth was gagged, he immediately showed an excited smile upon hearing that Master Long would rescue him.
This time, Chu Lingtian had lost the game.
Strange, Chu Lingtian lost the match, but why wasn't there any regret or dejection on his face?
Chu Lingtian appeared very calm, his eyes as still as a deep well.
Wang Haiyang turned and said, "Mr. Chu, Master Long is going to send someone to rescue him. What should we do?"
Chu Lingtian said calmly, "Is that so? Then I'll see how he plans to rescue him!"
Chu Lingtian walked over and tore off the tape from Jin Peng's mouth.
Jin Peng immediately barked, "Kid, you lost. Master Long will never abandon me. He won't abandon me!"
Chu Lingtian said unhurriedly, "Is that so? I guess he's sending people not to save you, but to kill you. Do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it. Anyway, you can't make me betray Master Long!"
Chu Lingtian said, "Then let's wait and see, like watching a play."
He looked as if everything was under his control.
"You can come in now. Take these two guys back and hand them over to Commander Xiao. Make sure you keep a close eye on them!"
As he spoke, eight fully armed soldiers walked in and took Jin Peng and Brother Bao away.
"You go back and continue being the police chief. If Master Long contacts you, you know what to do!"
"When this matter is over, you will see your wife and children again!"
Wang Haiyang dared not disobey and immediately nodded.
...
Jingcheng.
In a luxurious independent villa.
An old man with white hair sat in a chair, facing the wall.
The phone beside him rang.
"Your Highness, something's wrong. Jin Peng has been arrested in Da Chang City!"
The white-haired old man frowned slightly and calmly uttered three words.
"Kill him!"
