Chapter 552: Found Out
By the time Tianlong and Yezi reached the perimeter of the police interrogation room, the gunfire had ceased. The rapid "bang bang bang" sound, reminiscent of firecrackers, had rung out at least a hundred times, indicating that the dozens of officers present had emptied their magazines.
In the smoke-filled police office, the officers were standing still, speechless, as the target of their collective rage was completely unharmed.
Through the lingering smoke, Tianlong and Yezi exchanged bitter smiles. They saw the man in short sleeves and shorts, expressionless, calmly walking out from among the officers. The floor was littered with empty magazines where he had passed.
Was he even human? Was this a movie shoot?
The officers stared blankly at their guns, even suspecting that the police guns were fake, special effects props.
Tianlong and Yezi understood that bullets couldn't even get close to Yang Chen's body; his protective true energy would block them. Yang Chen was being merciful by not reflecting the bullets back at the officers.
Their greatest fear was that if Yang Chen got angry, he might massacre the entire police station.
Indeed, when Yang Chen was being shot at by the group, he had such a thought but managed to suppress it. He knew most of the officers were innocent, and killing dozens of ordinary people would likely cause him to lose control. So, he exerted all his strength to run the Wanging Thought Sutra and suppress his murderous intent.
Seeing Tianlong and Yezi arriving, Yang Chen glanced at them indifferently and then continued walking out of the police station. The redness in his eyes was even more intense than before.
The officers didn't have the courage to stop him again; they were lucky they hadn't fainted from fear.
"Brother Yang, where are you going?!" Yezi blocked his path, anxiously asking.
Yang Chen glanced at her, "Move."
"I won't!" Yezi shook her head desperately, shouting, "You're definitely going after Lu Min. Brother Yang, listen to me, the people behind Lu Min aren't just the Lu family. His grandfather is—"
Before Yezi could finish, Yang Chen grabbed her arm and flung her away.
Yezi screamed. Her skills were average in the Dragon Group and couldn't withstand Yang Chen's strength. Luckily, Tianlong caught her in time, preventing her from hitting the wall.
"I don't care who he's related to. If you can't tell me where he is, don't try to stop me. Don't think that just because we know each other, I'll show you any mercy," Yang Chen coldly said and continued walking out the door.
Yezi wanted to shout something, but Tianlong stopped her, shaking his head gravely, "Don't say anything. He won't listen to a word. Didn't you see his eyes? He's really going to kill."
"What do we do then? If something happens to Lu Min, it'll cause chaos in Yanjing!" Yezi said worriedly.
Tianlong sighed, "We need to stabilize the situation first. Anyway, we've already notified Lu Min. Whether he takes a plane or a train, he needs to leave Zhonghai immediately, preferably returning to Yanjing. Otherwise, who can stop this killer god?"
Yezi bit her lip helplessly, knowing they were powerless, and cursed, "It's all that Lu Min's fault! I'm so angry!"
Tianlong looked at his angry wife and could only shake his head with a bitter smile. Glancing at the stunned officers, he felt a headache coming on. These people had witnessed something extraordinary, and it couldn't be easily leaked. It seemed the Iron Brigade of Yan Huang had to help clean up this mess for Yang Chen.
On the other side, as Yang Chen walked towards the police station entrance, he pulled out his phone and called Mo Lin, the captain of the Sea Eagle team.
With the training of the Berserk Dragon Reserve nearing its end, Mo Lin and another team member, Fannie, had returned to the temporary base in Zhonghai. The final training tasks of the Berserk Dragon Reserve did not require their participation; their mission was already complete.
"Lord Hades, what are your orders?" Mo Lin, aware that Yang Chen had returned to Zhonghai early, responded with a tone of utmost respect. Sauron had already informed all Sea Eagle members worldwide about the events in Europe, and Mo Lin and the others were still excited about their idol's recent exploits when they received Yang Chen's call.
Yang Chen didn't waste words, coldly ordering, "Find out everything about a man named Lu Min, about thirty years old, a high-ranking official. I need to know his exact location in three minutes."
Mo Lin promptly answered, "Yes," and hung up the phone immediately.
At this moment, Guo Xuehua, An Xin, and the others were running towards the entrance. The guards, aware that something had happened inside, did not stop them.
Seeing Yang Chen unharmed, Guo Xuehua felt relieved. She rushed forward, tears in her eyes, and hugged Yang Chen tightly, asking excitedly, "Yang Chen, what happened? Did they trouble you? What was with the gunshots?"
An Xin also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she knew Yang Chen's identity was extraordinary and his skills remarkable, she was still worried. Seeing him safe eased some of her guilt.
Yang Chen's heart softened, and the redness in his eyes faded slightly. The concern in his family's and lover's eyes was something he couldn't part with. It was for these people who genuinely loved him that he was willing to stay in Zhonghai, despite being constantly monitored and unable to wield power as freely as he did abroad.
However, this warmth was fleeting. The murderous intent in Yang Chen grew stronger again.
Yes, for the sake of his family and lover, a hidden threat like Lu Min had to be eliminated.
"An Xin, take my mom home. I have some things to take care of," Yang Chen said, turning to An Xin.
An Xin was stunned, not understanding Yang Chen's intention. "Yang Chen, what are you going to do?" Guo Xuehua sensed the seriousness and urgently said, "Son, don't act rashly. I know you're angry and that your skills are exceptional, but Lu Min is not so simple. His grandfather is someone even your grandfather might not be able to suppress!"
Yang Chen smiled, "I don't care who he is or who his grandfather is. I rely on my own strength and don't need the Yang family's help."
He then instructed Zhao Teng and Wang Jie, "You two help An Xin take my mom home. Don't ask or get involved in anything else. Go back to work at the company."
Guo Xuehua didn't want to let go and tried to persuade him, but Yang Chen didn't want to waste more time. He had no time to explain everything.
So, Yang Chen directly channeled true energy into Guo Xuehua's body, making her fall asleep. He handed her over to the stunned An Xin, who supported her.
"Take good care of our mom and do as I said," Yang Chen said calmly, then vanished from the police station.
Wang Jie and Zhao Teng stood there in a daze, unable to comprehend that their usually jovial director was a legendary martial artist.
Aside from her worry, An Xin felt a surge of sweetness. Yang Chen had said "our mom."
Yang Chen appeared outside the police station and walked to the roadside, intending to hail a taxi to Lu Min's location. At that moment, his phone vibrated, and he answered it to hear Mo Lin's voice.
"Lord Hades, we've found him. Lu Min, a high-ranking official around thirty, is the director of Zhonghai Broadcasting and Television Administration. The signal shows he's heading to Zhonghai International Airport. He has a ticket for a flight to Yanjing, departing in an hour."
"Airport," Yang Chen's eyes flashed coldly, and he smirked. "Got it. Keep an eye on his movements and inform me of any changes."
As Yang Chen was about to hang up, Mo Lin suddenly said, "Lord Hades, may I say a few more words? Are you planning to kill Lu Min?"
"Hmm?" Yang Chen frowned. His subordinates rarely questioned him. What was Mo Lin thinking?
Mo Lin hesitated and said, "Please forgive my boldness, but this will be very detrimental to your stay in Yanxia."
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you trying to say? I'm in a hurry."
Mo Lin seemed to have made up his mind and said, "According to the information, Lu Min's father is the head of the Lu family in Yanjing, a key figure in the Ministry of Culture. This isn't too significant, but his mother is the daughter of Li Mosheng, the head of the Li family, one of the Four Great Families of Yanjing. Li Mosheng is the Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council, an influential leader in the political sphere of Yanxia."
Yang Chen frowned. He had heard Tang Wan mention the Four Great Families of Yanjing: Ning, Li, Yang, and Tang. The Ning family was the strongest, the Tang family was weaker in commerce, and the Yang family remained stable due to Yang Gongming's presence. As for the Li family, he hadn't paid much attention. But from what Mo Lin was saying, it seemed the Li family was not to be underestimated.
Sure enough, Mo Lin continued, "Although Li Mosheng's official position is Deputy Prime Minister, second to Ning Guangyao of the Ning family, his real power lies in his role as the Director of the Security Bureau. His status is even higher than that of Cai Yuncheng of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, although the Iron Brigade operates with autonomy. Additionally, Li Mosheng's eldest grandson, Li Dun, is known along with Yan Buwen of the Yan family as the 'Twin Kings of Yanjing.' Li Dun controls nearly two-thirds of the most elite special forces in Yanxia."
Listening to Mo Lin's detailed explanation, Yang Chen finally felt a bit moved and his expression grew serious.
Director of the Security Bureau? In other words, the head of intelligence! The most terrifying thing about the Security Bureau wasn't its military might, but the vast amount of information it controlled, which could ruin anyone.
No matter how powerful or influential one was, everyone had flaws and secrets. The higher one stood, the more they feared their dark secrets being exposed. Li Mosheng had been in charge of the Security Bureau for over twenty years, a feat impossible without extraordinary means. Provoking someone like him was dangerous because he could have damaging information that could destroy his enemies completely.
In Yanjing, the powerful elites would rather confront Ning Guangyao, fighting openly, than cross paths with Li Mosheng, the master of espionage. Going against the head of spies meant losing before even starting the battle.
Furthermore, Li Mosheng's eldest grandson, Li Dun, had already become a major player in special operations at a young age. He commanded elite forces, comparable to Yan Buwen, who was a leading figure in the research field. This made them the Twin Kings of Yanjing.
While espionage and special forces might not pose a direct threat to Yang Chen, they could be dangerous to those around him.
Lu Min was Li Mosheng's direct grandson. If Yang Chen touched him, the Li family would undoubtedly react, and not just to save face. They would retaliate fiercely, jeopardizing those close to Yang Chen. Even if Yang Chen managed to kill Lu Min, the Li family's response would bring tremendous trouble. They could easily target Yang Chen's loved ones, making it difficult for him to protect everyone.
If a conflict with the Li family escalated, it could plunge Yanxia into chaos. The Security Bureau and special forces would likely be mobilized against Yang Chen. If Yang Chen killed key figures, the political and military stability of Yanxia would be severely disrupted, possibly inviting opportunistic actions from hostile nations.
At that point, Yang Chen would become a national criminal, with no place left in Yanxia.
What troubled Yang Chen even more was the thought that Li Mosheng, being the head of the Security Bureau, probably knew his identity and had been prepared for him. A rash move could destabilize the country's leadership, potentially drawing intervention from the mysterious Hongmeng.
No wonder Guo Xuehua had said that even Yang Gongming might not be able to suppress such figures. The Li family's patriarch and his grandson were indeed formidable opponents. If Yang Chen wanted to take action, he would need a foolproof plan.
Just then, in the distance, three military jeeps sped towards Yang Chen. In a blink, they screeched to a halt in front of him. Several burly men in military uniforms got out and lined up in front of Yang Chen. From the middle vehicle, a tall, stern-looking man stepped out. It was none other than Yang Pojun.
