Chapter 5 Questioning Jiangdong
"Yes."
Several bodyguards responded in unison, and when they were
about to leave, they were stopped by Yang Shikai, the Patriarch of the Yang
family who rushed over.
"Shixiong, don't be impulsive." Yang Shikai
persuaded in a deep voice.
"Brother, I have only one son. Now that he has been
killed, I must avenge him." Yang Shixiong slapped the gun on the table and
looked up at Yang Shikai with a very firm attitude. Yang Shikai waved his hand,
signalling the bodyguards to leave first, and then closed the door.
"Shaoting's grudges must be avenged, but it is best not
to make too much of a move now. Old Zheng said that the Qiao family may have
reported the matter to the province or the capital, and there are important
figures paying attention to the Shaoting kidnapping of that woman."
"Now that Shaoting has been killed, I have nothing to
worry about. Not only do I want to avenge Shaoting, but I also want that
woman's whole family to be buried with Shaoting." Yang Shixiong's mood was
agitated; the pain of losing his child had caused him to lose his reason.
Yang Shikai continued to advise: "This way, I will let Old
Zheng use the power of the inspection bureau to arrest Qiao Kexin's family. We
will say that Shaoting's death was related to them and we will find some
evidence, and then kill them in prison without anyone noticing.
As for Shaoting’s murderer, I have already investigated it.
It’s that man who made Qiao Kexin have an illegitimate child many years ago. I
heard that he is a soldier in the military. However, if he was able to handle
over thirty thugs by himself, he should be a martial arts expert. Sending
people to capture him rashly will likely startle him and cause him to
flee."
After listening to Yang Shikai's words, Yang Shixiong fell
into deep thought. He was overwhelmed by anger earlier and could only think of
revenge, but now, after his older brother's analysis, he realized that he was
indeed too impulsive.
They both knew that the thugs that Shaoting kept at the
casino were all street fighters who had scraped and clawed their way to the
top, and were all skilled in hand-to-hand combat. The fact that the other party
was able to single-handedly kill over thirty of them is enough to indicate that
he is a martial arts expert.
It is not easy to capture someone like that by just sending a
few people out. Seeing Yang Shixiong's worried expression, Yang Shikai bent
down and patted his shoulder, comforting him
"Even if the killer is a military man, there is nothing to
worry about. Our family’s Shaojie has been promoted to captain in the
Jiangdong Military department. He just called and said that he will return to
Longjiang in a few days. It will be no problem to deal a common soldier”
Hearing that Yang Shaojie had been promoted to Captain, the
haze in Yang Shixiong's heart was instantly swept away. He turned and walked to
the sofa, sitting down with a hop of his short legs, he asked in excitement
"Brother, what you said is true? Shaojie has become a
Captain!"
"Well, that’s what he said on the phone." Yang
Shikai replied.
For a family in a third-tier city like Longjiang, having a Captain
in the family already belongs to the kind of glory that would bring smoke from
the ancestral grave. Not only would it secure the Yang family's position as one
of the top four powerful families in LongJiang City, but it might even be able
to join the provincial capital of Jiangdong and expand the family's power even
further.
As if the pain of losing a child was not so important, the two
brothers Yang Shikai and Yang Shixiong were immersed in the joy of having a Captain
in the Yang family.
At this moment, a bodyguard came to report that Yang
Shaoting's younger brothers had brought back a little girl.
Yang Shixiong was furious, jumping off the sofa and roaring:
"What time is it and you're still here to cause trouble, just find a place
and throw that little girl away."
Yang Shikai stopped the bodyguard and asked, "Who is
that little girl?"
"She is Qiao Kexin's daughter." The bodyguard replied.
Yang Shikai and Yang Shixiong exchanged a glance, both
understanding what the other was thinking. With the little girl in their hands,
the murderer of Yang Shaoting would certainly be caught, and they could do
whatever they wanted to with him when the time came.
....
Jiangdong provincial capital, Jiangzhou city.
It is more than one hundred and sixty kilometres from Longjiang City.
At this time, in an office of the Jiangdong Provincial
Inspection Department, the leaders of various official departments of Jiangdong
Province have gathered. This included Jiangdong provincial chief Zhang Jun, Kou
Tianyou, head of the Inspection Department, Zhang Jianyi, head of the
Department of Government Affairs, and a dozen other heads of the Jiangdong
council...
They all bowed their heads, standing in front of the desk in
fear. Luo Sha sat on a large sofa chair behind the desk, with his legs resting
on the table, scanning the crowd coldly.
"Marshal Lin's wife was kidnapped in Longjiang City,
what crime should you be held responsible for?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was so frightened that they
quickly knelt down, not daring to hesitate for a second.
"Please forgive me, Warlord Luo Sha, I have ordered a
thorough investigation and will absolutely bring all the culprits to justice and
punish them severely." Jiangdong Province's Chief Zhangjun pleaded in a
trembling voice.
Within the jurisdiction of Jiangdong Province, the wife of
Shura God of War was kidnapped. As the governor of Jiangdong Province, he dared
not shirk his responsibility.
That is Shura God of War!
The legend of the Huaxia Army, the god of death on the
northern battlefield. Guarding the northern border to protect Huaxia, his sword
unsheathed makes the enemy tremble, the alliance of eight countries is like
ants, with one command, ten thousand bones wither.
Now one of the eight war kings under Shura God of War, Warlord
Luo Sha personally came to the provincial capital to inquire about the crime,
which is enough to show the seriousness of this matter.
When the Shura God of War is angry, not only will their official
titles be lost, but many people may lose their heads. Luo Sha directly kicked
the documents on the desk away and said angrily
"Thorough investigation? Then let me ask you, have you
found the location of Marshal Lin's wife by now? Why have the kidnappers
already gotten wind of this before you've even acted!"
Sensing Luo Sha's burst of murderous aura, several big wigs
buried their heads even lower, their bodies trembling.
Zhang Jun turned his head and gave the director of the
inspection department a fierce glare. The inspection department is responsible
for rescuing Marshal Lin’s wife. If there are spies in the inspection system,
the director of the inspection department must be to blame.
Director Kou Tianyou was also very aggrieved. When he
received the order, he didn't know that it was Marshal Lin’s wife who was
kidnapped. He thought it was just a relative of an ordinary high-ranking
official, so he sent the matter to the Longjiang City Inspection Bureau to take
charge of the investigation. Who knew that there would be such a mistake, and
the kidnapper would be alarmed by the leak. What's worse, Marshal Lin also
found out about this matter.
At this moment, Kou Tianyou only felt that even if he had
nine lives, he would not have enough to die. He was lying on the ground, not
even daring to raise his head, and could only beg for mercy.
"Warlord Luo Sha, spare my life, Warlord Luo Sha, spare
my life..."
"Although Madam has been rescued, whether you will
be spared or not is up to Commander Lin, and it depends on your performance.
The person who kidnapped his wife was from the Yang family in Longjiang. Within
three days, the Yang family must be removed from Longjiang I don't care what
you do, but remember one thing” When Luo Sha said this, he paused slightly, his
cold gaze sweeping over the crowd kneeling before him.
"Right now is a critical period when the official
Chinese government is signing a truce with the allied forces of the invading
countries, and this matter of the Shura War God leaving the Northern Regiment
must never be known by those outside the country.
Even in Jiangdong, if one less person knows about Marshal Lin's identity, there is one less risk of it being leaked. This matter is related to the safety and security of Huaxia's borders, you should know what to do."After Luo Sha finished speaking, he left the office. He didn't need to worry about the rest, and he didn't need to know the details, as long as he could get the result.
After Luo Sha walked away, the provincial head Zhang Jun
found his palms still trembling, as did everyone else, who stayed in place with
trepidation.
Everyone knows very well that the sky in Longjiang is about
to change. Many people will be unlucky, and many people will die without a
place to bury them. After a while, Zhang Jun roared loudly at the group of
leaders behind him. "Immediately put all the members of the Yang family
under surveillance and restrict their travel, even if it is a bird raised by
their family, they are not allowed to fly out of Longjiang. Use all your
strength and resources to collect criminal evidence of the Yang family. As long
as it is a dirty thing that the Yang family has done, no matter what ten or twenty
years have passed, turn all of them over to me! Quickly find out where Marshal
Lin's wife lives, and everyone go and make amends, right away!"
