Chapter 610: Chapter 612: Not Yet Home

The atmosphere grew tense. After Zhu Kangyu uttered the word "deserved," he fell silent, his expression dark and unreadable. Yang Chen, surprisingly, didn't pursue the matter further, even though everyone could tell that Zhu Kangyu was likely the mastermind behind this incident.

Tianlong spoke gravely, "Yang Chen, I assure you, this matter will be reported to the headquarters. The Supervisory Commission will strictly follow the regulations and will not let any corrupt officials go unpunished. Please, let it go for now. There's no need to pursue these small fries any further."

Given their relationship, Tianlong addressed Yang Chen by his name without formality. Yang Chen, appreciating this, didn't push back too hard.

"Since you say so, I'll choose to believe you. But let me be clear, the White Wolf Society has already been proven guilty. If I don't hear about their eradication soon, I won't let it go," Yang Chen said with a smile, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Tianlong was taken aback, not understanding why Yang Chen was so fixated on the White Wolf Society.

Yezi, unable to contain her curiosity, asked, "Brother Yang, do you have a grudge against the White Wolf Society?"

"Not exactly a grudge with me," Yang Chen shrugged, "but their people injured one of my women, and it was a serious injury."

Both Tianlong and Yezi were taken aback. How had they not known about this?

To be fair, Yang Chen had more than one woman around him. Even though the Yanhuang Iron Brigade closely monitored Yang Chen's movements, they didn't have enough manpower to keep tabs on every woman in his life.

But one thing was clear to Tianlong and Yezi: the White Wolf Society was done for. Yang Chen, personally, was easy-going and preferred to live quietly in China, even setting up a kebab stall initially. His rise to the current status was all due to protecting others, starting with Old Li's family, then Rose, and later Lin Ruoxi and Mo Qianni. Each time, he had to step in to protect others, which showed that offending those around Yang Chen was far worse than offending him directly.

The state wouldn't risk a fallout with Yang Chen over a regional gang, especially since the White Wolf Society's collusion with officials and judicial departments had already crossed the line. Their demise was just a matter of time. ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

The White Wolf Society likely never imagined that their biggest downfall wouldn't come from clashes with the Red Thorn Society but from the poor acting of a few small-time thugs.

The crowd, seeing Yang Chen talking closely with Tianlong and Yezi, couldn't hear the conversation but watched curiously, not daring to get closer.

Tianlong, looking serious, said, "Don't worry. Once the investigation is clear, we will ensure justice is served. The White Wolf Society has already set themselves on fire."

Yang Chen grinned, then suddenly pulled out his phone and dialed a long sequence of numbers. This number was exceptionally lengthy, far exceeding the length of existing phone numbers, and appeared to be a random jumble of digits.

After dialing, Yang Chen showed the phone screen to Tianlong and Yezi.

Tianlong and Yezi looked at the number, puzzled. "What number is this?" they asked.

Yang Chen blinked, "This is my private number at Zero's headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. You can note it down and submit it to your superiors, be it General Cai, the head of the Supervisory Commission, or the head of the National Security Bureau. Tell them that if they find the task of eliminating too many targets too troublesome, I wouldn't mind dialing this number."

Tianlong and Yezi turned pale, finally understanding Yang Chen's insane idea.

"My Zero team is always very efficient," Yang Chen said softly, but to Tianlong and Yezi, his words sounded like a devil's whisper.

In the world of security organizations, it might be understandable if someone didn't know about a country's secret special forces, as they frequently restructured. However, no one would be unaware of what Zero represented!

The only globally recognized elite assassin organization, Zero, is a killer kingdom that no one dares to challenge! The literal meaning of "zero" represents both the origin and the end of life.

Yang Chen smirked, "If you want to know, I'll tell you. It all started when I was a kid..."

"Don't say it!" Liu Mingyu quickly interrupted. "If you tell me everything, it'll be no fun."

"What do you mean?" Yang Chen was puzzled.

"Men with mystery are attractive. I want to discover your secrets little by little. If you tell me everything now, I'll have nothing to do later," Liu Mingyu said excitedly.

Yang Chen smiled wryly. This woman had a peculiar hobby. He shook his head, thinking that Liu Mingyu might never uncover all his secrets, even in multiple lifetimes.

When they reached Liu Mingyu's house, it was dusk. She asked reluctantly, "Are you going home tonight?"

"Why, do you want to make up for last night?" Yang Chen asked with a mischievous grin.

"Why do you always think about that? I was just asking. It's dinner time," she said, blushing in the evening light.

Yang Chen, feeling a bit tempted after spending the whole day with Liu Mingyu without any intimate moments, also considered that staying out for two consecutive nights might worsen his already strained relationship with Lin Ruoxi.

Just then, his phone vibrated. It was a call from Guo Xuehua.

Yang Chen gestured for Liu Mingyu to stay quiet before answering, "Hello, Mom, are you calling me home for dinner? I'm on my way."

Hearing him call "Mom," Liu Mingyu widened her eyes and held her breath.

Guo Xuehua sounded anxious, "Yang Chen, where are you? Can you go to Zhenxiu's school? She hasn't come home yet, and I can't reach her."

"Zhenxiu hasn't come home?" Yang Chen checked the time. School had been out for nearly an hour. Normally, if Zhenxiu wasn't staying on campus, she would have been home helping with dinner by now.

Guo Xuehua, unfamiliar with many places in Zhonghai, couldn't drive out to look for her. Wang Ma was busy at home, so she turned to Yang Chen. Lin Ruoxi, being extremely busy these days, was also not an option.

Yang Chen immediately replied, "I'll go to her school now. Don't worry. She might have lost track of time with extra tutoring sessions."

Guo Xuehua could only hope for the best. Though she had no blood relation with Zhenxiu, she had grown fond of her over time, treating her like a daughter.

After hanging up, Liu Mingyu knew Yang Chen had to leave but was still curious, "Who is Zhenxiu? You never mentioned her before."

Yang Chen scratched his head, "She's a girl I consider a sister. Ruoxi likes her a lot too. We're like family now. You'll meet her someday. I have to go now. I'll see you another day."

Liu Mingyu nodded reluctantly. Though she didn't want him to leave, she got out of the car without further delay, understanding Yang Chen's concern.

Bidding farewell to Liu Mingyu, Yang Chen quickly drove to Zhenxiu's high school. Thankfully, it wasn't far, and he arrived at the school gates in under ten minutes.

Getting out of the car, Yang Chen suddenly realized he didn't know which class Zhenxiu was in. Where should he start looking?
