Chapter 71: 71, Chu Tianyao?

When Lin Qing left the hospital, it was almost midnight, and his left arm was encased in plaster and secured to his chest.

“Captain, you really went all out.”

Zhao Jiayi murmured softly, “If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought your hand was really broken. How did you do it?”

“Just a little trick.”

Lin Qing said casually, “If I had taken care of that woman without any injury, it might have scared the Yuanhong Society. They might even suspect a Telekinesis Awakener was involved. What if they canceled the deal?”

Once the techniques of the Six Gates Free Body reach the Instinct Level, one can alter their physical form.

Even making bones appear longer is trivial, so faking a fracture was effortlessly done.

Of course, the doctor knew it was fake.

But as long as he showed his Patrol Officer badge, the doctor would cooperate.

…

Returning home, Zhao Jiayi also took the opportunity to have a late-night snack at Lin Qing’s house.

Eating with one hand was inconvenient. Lin Qing didn’t loosen the bandage and plaster on his left arm; with a slight tremor of his arm, the skin, muscle, and bone contracted and he easily slipped out of the plaster cast like a swimming fish.

In this way, the plaster and splint were not damaged, allowing him to revert to the identity of an injured person whenever needed.

“Comrade Jiayi.”

Lin Qing glanced at Zhao Jiayi, who was slurping up noodles, and suddenly asked, “Who do you think should disrupt the Yuanhong Society’s goods exchange tomorrow?”

“Who should disrupt the deal?” Zhao Jiayi was a bit confused by his question. “Aren’t you going?”

“How would I know about the deal?”

Lin Qing shook his head, “I can’t just say it was because I accidentally heard Zhang Zhiren slip up, can I? That’d be too fake. There’s no signal at Zhang Zhiren’s place, and it’s perfectly soundproofed, so a leak shouldn’t be possible.”

He examined Zhao Jiayi and said, “If I go to search directly, they will surely suspect a Telekinesis Awakener, and that would complicate things.”

Zhao Jiayi was slightly startled, understanding his meaning.

“So what should we do?” She suddenly felt a bit lost.

“It’s okay.”

Lin Qing smiled and said, “Didn’t you say, during your Telekinesis Detection, you heard about Chu Tianyao?”

“Yes,” Zhao Jiayi nodded. “That woman you killed mentioned it was the last chance to command Chu Tianyao. She wanted Chu Tianyao to kill you and then die in public, to avoid implicating the Yuanhong Society.”

“It sounds like the Yuanhong Society and Chu Tianyao aren’t on the same boat.”

Lin Qing mused with interest, “The Yuanhong Society can only command Chu Tianyao a limited number of times… probably only a few times… Maybe it’s due to some reason that Chu Tianyao can’t refuse?”

Chu Tianyao had only appeared in Lin’an City a couple of times.

The first time was when he severely injured his cousin, Chen Yanan.

The second time was when he showed up to deal with him, but was stopped by the General Captain.

“One more time…”

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, “Having ‘Chu Tianyao’ disrupt the deal, a case of dog eat dog, doesn’t seem too bad? Good thing I’ve seen Chu Tianyao in person.”

“Ah?” Zhao Jiayi couldn’t help but be stunned.

…

Near six o’clock, the sky gradually brightened.

On White Elephant Street, almost no one knew about the underground warehouse of the Night Cat Bar, other than the armed personnel and very few high-ranking members of the Yuanhong Society who could enter.

The underground warehouse was extremely spacious, with all warehouse doors tightly locked, and a small underground plaza in the center with stands above.

Apart from the passage leading to the bar above, there was only one underground escape route.

At this time, Zhang Zhiren was sitting in the stands above the plaza, frowning and going over the latest intelligence from an informant in the Inspection Bureau.

“Nothing really happened…and 7489 was killed?”

Zhang Zhiren could hardly believe it.

He knew how high the success rate of assassination was for 7489, who was a numbered member of the organization and had undergone extensive training.

7489 was just sent to deal with this new Patrol Officer, yet he was killed by the latter?

“Lost an arm…”

Zhang Zhiren judged in his mind, “Maybe he blocked the first strike from 7489 and guessed her position?”

He always felt something was off.

Was it just a coincidence?

“Fortunately, they can’t trace it back to me here.”

Zhang Zhiren took a deep breath, “Once the people sent by the organization arrive, they should grant me the last command over Chu Tianyao, at which time I’ll kill Lin Qing and then support Xiao Peidong.”

Thinking this, he glanced at the time and ordered his trusted subordinate, “Check that batch of goods again, don’t let any problems arise.”

“Yes.”

The trusted subordinate immediately took several people down to the square below, opened the large warehouse doors on all four sides, and went in to inspect.

Soon, a series of piercing and miserable screams echoed from inside the warehouse, both men and women, all sounding exceedingly weak.

Six o’clock sharp.

A man dressed in a black trench coat and wearing a mask arrived as promised; his face largely covered, only a pair of cold, venomous eyes visible.

“Councilor Wang.”

Zhang Zhiren stood up and approached him, his attitude very respectful.

Because he clearly knew that his Yinghai Group had reached this point today largely due to the covert support of the Bright Society.

What could make him could also destroy him,

And even more effortlessly.

Although this Councilor Wang was merely a deliveryman for the Bright Society, his strength was mediocre, but he was ultimately from the urban circle.

“Let’s verify first.”

Councilor Wang glanced at Zhang Zhiren and casually pulled up his sleeve, gradually revealing a sun-shaped tattoo on his arm.

Zhang Zhiren also prepared himself and quickly opened the collar of his shirt to reveal his sun tattoo.

“Is 7489 dead?”

Following that, Councilor Wang spoke in a deep voice, his eyes coldly sweeping over Zhang Zhiren.

Zhang Zhiren sighed and said, “Indeed, it was very sudden; I also didn’t expect her to actually die.”

“After all, she was an official member of the organization. Whoever killed her will have to pay the price.”

Councilor Wang’s eyes turned icy, “The last command over Chu Tianyao will be given to you. Use Chu Tianyao’s last bit of value to take care of that Lin Qing… Doesn’t he also have a sister who is a Patrol Officer? It would be convenient to take care of his family members as well.”

“Yes.” Zhang Zhiren nodded.

Councilor Wang grunted, then asked, “The goods I asked you to find last time, have you collected them all?”

Zhang Zhiren immediately replied, “I’m sorry, Councilor Wang, it’s indeed difficult to find individuals with good aptitudes who haven’t yet joined any martial arts gym. Over these months, we’ve only found one, and we added some more to the healthy group aged between 15 and 20. Would you like to inspect them?”

“Check and confirm each one when loading them onto the vehicle.”

Councilor Wang scanned the surrounding warehouses and asked, “Are the sleeping pills ready?”

“Rest assured, Councilor,” Zhang Zhiren nodded.

“Hmm.”

Councilor Wang nodded slightly and instructed, “Don’t forget, use Chu Tianyao quickly to dispose of that Lin Qing. After this, the Yuanhong Society can remain hidden for a while.”

“Rest assured, Councilor, he’s just a lucky Patrol Officer. As long as Chu Tianyao makes a move, he is certain to die.”

Suddenly—

“Bang!!”

The theft-prevention metal door above suddenly emitted a loud booming sound and the entire door shook as if it was about to collapse.

“Hmm?”

Zhang Zhiren’s expression changed.

Councilor Wang also squinted his eyes.

Before Zhang Zhiren could operate the surveillance, another “Bang!!” roared.

And then, the visibly distorted and deformed theft-prevention door suddenly flew out. Simultaneously, a blurry figure floated out from it and instantly appeared in front of the two men.

Zhang Zhiren, seeing the appearance of the newcomer, couldn’t help but be stunned.

Councilor Wang’s gaze turned cold.

“Chu Tianyao!”

Simultaneously, accompanied by a glint of metallic luster that appeared, the newcomer delivered a slashing chop with his palm—

“Splash!”

Blood spurted out; Councilor Wang’s head instantly flew into the air.
