Chapter 559 Destined to Be Single
The young masters of influential families in this grand hall had all heard of the terrifying reputation of Ox-Head and Horse-Face. They knew full well that these two brothers were utterly brutal, genuine martial artists with the strength of the Great Cycle.
More importantly, when these two brothers fought together, even a Grandmaster was no match for them. Not only were their powers ferocious, but they also had a penchant for cannibalism and blood-drinking. In the entire Hanwu City, no one could subdue this pair.
The Lu family's utter brazenness stemmed precisely from having these two brothers as their followers.
Through Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the Lu family had attained supreme status.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face, simple-minded and possessing immense martial strength, lacked the acumen for business and could not earn money.
They followed Lu Zhenhong, eliminating all obstacles for him, while Lu Zhenhong provided them with countless precious medicinal herbs, rare jades, and all sorts of women they desired every year, even including human flesh as delicacies.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face chuckled and sauntered towards Chen Yang.
Seeing their terrifying visages, Zhou Shanshan's legs turned to jelly. She quickly whispered to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, these two are incredibly fearsome. They… they even like to eat people. You must be careful."
Chen Yang couldn't help but chuckle at this. He turned to look at Lu Zhenhong and said, "So, your trump cards are these two ugly monsters."
Upon hearing this, Ox-Head and Horse-Face became furious, letting out guttural roars.
Lu Zhenhong sneered at Chen Yang, "Kid, I hope you can still laugh and make such flippant remarks. Hmph, attack!"
Chen Yang lifted his foot and stomped down. Lu Hua on the ground instantly had his chest crushed, completely dead.
Witnessing this, Lu Zhenhong's teeth gnashed, his anger palpable. His body trembled. He hadn't expected Chen Yang to actually dare to kill his son.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face, meanwhile, moved in from the left and right, circling Chen Yang like whirlwinds. They opened their gaping mouths, ready to devour him.
Chen Yang took a step forward and raised his hands, which transformed into two sharp blades. With two "swishes," in the blink of an eye, half of the long faces of Ox-Head and Horse-Face were severed.
Their heads, originally over forty centimeters long, were sliced in half, leaving only twenty-odd centimeters.
When they charged forward, they were full of life, and everyone expected Chen Yang to be torn to shreds and die a gruesome death. But no one had anticipated that, a second later, it would be Ox-Head and Horse-Face who died.
Chen Yang's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the corpses of Ox-Head and Horse-Face, chuckled, and said, "Now that's more like it. Your faces were far too long before. Alas, I should have been a plastic surgeon. After all, my cosmetic surgery skills are quite good, aren't they, Patriarch Lu?"
Chen Yang walked towards Lu Zhenhong with a cold smile.
Lu Zhenhong finally began to feel fear. He hadn't expected his greatest trump card, his biggest reliance, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, to not even last one move before Chen Yang. How was this possible?
They had to know that when Ox-Head and Horse-Face combined their strengths, even a Grandmaster was no match for them. He had relied on Ox-Head and Horse-Face to establish his footing in Hanwu City.
The three Grandmasters who had previously existed in Hanwu City had all been defeated by the combined might of Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and their corpses had been consumed.
Yet now, these incredibly powerful Ox-Head and Horse-Face couldn't even last half a second before Chen Yang. What was the background of this delivery man?
Chen Yang spoke loudly, "Lu Zhenhong, you have committed countless evils. All the crimes of your Dahua Tianxia Group have been submitted. From today onwards, there will be no Dahua Tianxia Group in Hanwu City, no more the Lu family's name. All your crimes will be accounted for."
Lu Zhenhong retreated rapidly, gritting his teeth, "Nonsense! Even if your martial prowess is extraordinary, you will not leave my Little Red House today. Let me tell you, the inside and outside of the Red House are currently filled with my Dahua Tianxia people. I don't believe you alone can stand against my three thousand death warriors."
Just as Lu Zhenhong was being arrogant, suddenly, "Bang bang bang bang" and "Rumble rumble rumble," gunfire erupted incessantly. Intense combat raged on the periphery of the Red House.
After three minutes of exchange of fire, with a "clang," the living room door was kicked open, and a team of fully armed special police officers stormed into the hall.
The leader, wearing a mask, held an arrest warrant. He looked at Lu Zhenhong and said, "Lu Zhenhong, you are under arrest. Please come with us. Resistance will be met with lethal force."
Seeing this, Lu Zhenhong's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the ground with a "plop." He trembled in disbelief and said, "This… this is absolutely impossible? In Hanwu City, I, Lu Zhenhong, am the heavens. Who are you people? Why are you here to arrest me? I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
However, no one offered Lu Zhenhong an explanation.
Soon, the approaching special police officers rushed forward, apprehended Lu Zhenhong, and froze all the assets of the Dahua Tianxia Group.
This Little Red House was completely sealed off, and all the wealthy young masters inside were also arrested and detained in the detention center.
Chen Yang and Zhou Shanshan left the Red House together.
Standing outside, Zhou Shanshan felt as if she were in a dream.
She turned to look at Chen Yang, her eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and astonishment.
She knew Chen Yang was formidable, but she had never imagined that a single sentence from him could completely crush the entire Lu family.
Zhou Shanshan suddenly felt that the distance between her and Chen Yang had become infinitely vast. Although they had once been intimate and close, the seemingly ordinary and kind man before her now possessed an exceptionally mysterious identity.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhou Shanshan asked Chen Yang in a low voice, "Mr. Chen, what exactly is your identity? You said before that you were the security captain of Yangyangyang Company, but now you've wiped out the Lu family with a single sentence. I… I truly don't know how to interact with you anymore."
Chen Yang let out a hearty laugh upon hearing this. He once again reached out and patted Zhou Shanshan's hair, saying, "Dr. Zhou, your imagination is a bit too vivid. No matter how important I am, I couldn't possibly wipe out the Lu family with a single sentence!"
"Actually, it's because I had the key evidence of the Lu family's crimes beforehand. This matter, in a way, also involves your contribution."
Zhou Shanshan curiously raised her head to look at Chen Yang, "Ah? I also contributed? What contribution could I have made? The Lu family is like heaven in our Hanwu City. I wouldn't dare to trouble them."
Chen Yang shook his head and briefly explained the matters concerning the wolf children, Hu Dingsheng, and others. He shrugged, "See? It was with your help that we caught Hu Dingsheng, and then we were able to interrogate all the criminal evidence of the Lu family.
"The evidence was directly submitted to the nearby Flying Dragon Special Forces, and they led the team to eliminate the Lu family entirely. As for me, hahaha… I merely acted as a catalyst."
"My true identity is indeed just the security captain of Yangyangyang Company. With this matter concluded, your troubles should also be over. Please take care of those dozen-plus wolf children's treatment for now. I need to rush back to Qingzhou City to report on this mission."
With that, Chen Yang waved goodbye to Zhou Shanshan and turned to leave.
Zhou Shanshan stood in place, watching Chen Yang get into his car and drive away completely.
Even after the car became a black speck, Zhou Shanshan remained still.
She stood in the wind, watching, watching, until suddenly her eyes reddened, and tears flowed. At this moment, Zhou Shanshan understood that perhaps she would never marry anyone in this lifetime.
Once her heart had completely fallen for a man, she could no longer love another.
Perhaps this was her fate, her destiny to be a solitary female doctor, a powerful woman who would grow old alone.
Zhou Shanshan wiped away her tears and turned to head towards the hospital.
