Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Found Out
The two people were Tianlong and Yezi, who had been watching the situation closely. When they heard the gunshots in the police station, they knew things were going wrong!
They had thought that with Guo Xuehua's connections, she could contact the Yang family and resolve the situation. However, they were still a step too late!
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?"
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.
