Chapter 23: Tearing Apart a Car Barehanded, Confronting the Protector Online
No sooner had the words fallen.
A piercing siren sounded from the distance.
A dozen police cars ca roaring over, surrounding the entire plaza.
The previously arrogant and domineering "family mber group" fell into complete chaos.
"Run!"
Soone shouted, and hundreds of people scrambled in every direction.
But with police surrounding the periter, where could they run?
This farce, under Zhang Xuanyao's "live fortune-telling," instantly turned into a large-scale arrest scene.
Su Qingge stood on the steps, watching the back of the figure who was still chatting and laughing while holding a phone amidst the chaotic crowd, the light in her eyes growing brighter.
She turned her head to look at Little Li, who had been stunned into speechlessness.
"Go, send a notice to the Public Relations Departnt."
Su Qingge's voice regained its calmness, yet carried a hint of pride that she could not hide.
"No need to explain."
"Edit today's livestream recording and post it to the official website."
"The title shall be—"
Su Qingge paused, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth.
"Su Group Special Consultant, Temple Master Zhang Educates You on the Law Online》."
On the plaza.
Zhang Xuanyao aid his phone cara at the Bald Man who was being pressed to the ground by the police.
"Family, do you see this?"
"This is what they call 'good and evil will eventually be rewarded; the Heavenly Dao favors Reincarnation.'"
"Anyway... that's it for today's livestream."
"If you think this Daoist's fortune-telling is accurate, send so small gifts."
"Also, Qingfeng Temple is currently recruiting believers. The first one hundred applicants will receive a consecrated amulet. First co, first served."
In the livestream chat.
Rockets, yachts, and sports cars—special effects were flying everywhere.
【So cool! I'm going to sign up for Qingfeng Temple right now!】
【Master Zhang is aweso! He's practically a human lie detector!】
【I'm begging the Great Master to divine the color of the Bald Man's underwear!】
Looking at the skyrocketing shock value and Karma points in the backend, Zhang Xuanyao smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits.
This wave was a huge profit.
Just then.
A middle-aged man in a police uniform walked over.
It was Captain Zhao Gang, the deputy captain of the criminal police who had interrogated him at the police station yesterday.
Looking at the coffins scattered on the ground and the thugs being arrested, Captain Zhao Gang looked at Zhang Xuanyao with a complex expression.
"Master Zhang, you... this is quite the grand gesture again."
Zhang Xuanyao put away his phone and shrugged.
"Captain Zhao, no need to thank ."
"These people are gathering to cause trouble, disrupting public order, and are suspected of extortion."
"This Daoist is just a concerned citizen, helping you boost your performance stats while I'm at it."
Captain Zhao Gang gave a wry smile.
This wasn't just boosting performance; it was practically wiping out all the thugs and hooligans in the entire Heng City in one go.
"However..." Captain Zhao Gang lowered his voice, his expression turning serious, "These people are clearly organized."
"Has the Bald Man confessed yet?"
Zhang Xuanyao pointed to the Bald Man, who was being escorted into a police car not far away.
"Not yet, but..."
A cold glint flashed in Zhang Xuanyao's eyes.
"I don't need to interrogate him to know who it is."
He turned around and looked at a black business van across from the building.
The windows of that car were covered with dark explosion-proof film, making it impossible to see the people inside.
But in Zhang Xuanyao's 【Heavenly Eye】.
The person sitting in that car was emitting a familiar Yin Qi.
It ca from the sa source as the evil cultivator from yesterday.
"President Su."
Zhang Xuanyao waved to Su Qingge on the steps.
"What is it?" Su Qingge walked down.
"The show is over; ti to et the real culprit."
Zhang Xuanyao pointed at the business van.
"If my calculations are correct, the person who wanted you to have no descendants last night is in that car."
Su Qingge's face turned cold, her Phoenix eyes filled with Killing Intent.
"Let's go!"
She waved her hand, and the security guards behind her imdiately followed.
The business van seed to sense sothing was wrong; its engine roared as it suddenly made a U-turn, attempting to escape.
"Want to run?"
"Blow out."
Bang!
A loud noise.
The business van lost its balance, spun on the road, and crashed heavily into a flower bed by the roadside.
White smoke rose from the front of the car.
Zhang Xuanyao clapped his hands and strode over.
"Let's go see which deity dares to stir up trouble on the head of Tai Sui."
The hood of the black business van was still emitting white smoke.
The left rear tire was completely ruined, the rim carving a deep white mark on the asphalt.
Zhang Xuanyao kept one hand in his pocket, held his phone up with the other, and walked steadily toward the business van, which looked like a trapped beast.
On the phone screen, the comnts were scrolling frantically.
【Holy crap! He said blow out and it blew out? What kind of Divine Ability is this Daoist using?】
【There's definitely a big fish in that car! The group of troublemakers saw this car trying to run away—they were clearly feeling guilty!】
【Don't back down, Daoist! Go up and expose them! If anything happens, the brothers will crowdfund to bail you out!】
Su Qingge followed closely in her high heels, her expression cold and stern.
Dozens of security guards and the criminal police team led by Captain Zhao Gang also surrounded them, forming an ironclad periter.
"Get out!"
Captain Zhao Gang drew his service weapon, pointed it at the driver's side window, and shouted sternly.
There was no movent inside the car.
The dark explosion-proof film blocked their view; they could only vaguely see shadows moving inside.
"Not opening it?"
Zhang Xuanyao walked to the driver's side door and grinned at the cara.
"Family, let perform a little trick for you: tearing apart a Gundam barehanded."
Before he even finished speaking.
He raised his leg and kicked hard at the door lock chanism.
Boom!
The modified bulletproof car door, as if made of paper, emitted a screeching sound of twisting tal and was directly deford and sprung open.
The airbags inside the car had deployed; a driver sat in the driver's seat, covered in blood and unconscious.
And in the back seat.
A middle-aged man in a dark blue suit with his hair combed ticulously was holding his phone in a panic, seemingly frantically deleting sothing.
Seeing the door violently broken open, the middle-aged man was so scared he nearly dropped his phone.
He looked up sharply, his well-maintained square face filled with panic and anger.
"What are you doing! What do you think you're doing!"
"I am..."
Catching the midday sun, Captain Zhao Gang saw that face clearly.
The hand holding his gun shook violently.
He froze in place, as if struck by lightning.
"Director... Director Liu?!"
Captain Zhao Gang's voice cracked, filled with deep disbelief.
The surrounding veteran police officers were also dumbfounded, their batons and handcuffs awkwardly frozen in mid-air, not knowing whether to put them down or keep holding them up.
Sitting in the car was none other than the head of the Hengcheng City Police Departnt, Director Liu Changqing!
Su Qingge stopped in her tracks, her pupils slightly constricting.
She had thought soone was backing this, but she hadn't expected this protector to be so big and so powerful.
Under normal circumstances, seeing his direct superior appear at such a sensitive cri scene, Captain Zhao Gang would definitely have withdrawn the team imdiately, or even helped cover for the leader.
This was the rule of officialdom.
It was also the tacit understanding of adults.
Seeing Captain Zhao Gang, Director Liu Changqing's initially panicked eyes instantly cald down.
He straightened his slightly ssy tie, pushed open the car door, and stepped out with a dark face.
An aura of soone long accustod to being in a high position instantly perated the air.
"Captain Zhao Gang! What are you doing!"
Director Liu Changqing pointed at Captain Zhao Gang's nose, spitting as he spoke.
"Who told you to bring a team to the Su Group? Was this approved by the bureau? Put that gun away! What kind of behavior is this!"
Captain Zhao Gang stood at attention subconsciously, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
"Director Liu, I... I received a report that people were gathering to cause trouble..."
"Causing trouble? I think it's you who are causing trouble here!"
Director Liu Changqing interrupted sharply, his eyes sweeping over the surrounding police officers with malice.
"These people are just here to express their demands! You arrest people without rhy or reason—is there no law anymore? Withdraw, all of you! Imdiately!"
A higher rank crushes those below.
Especially when it's several ranks higher.
The criminal police officers looked at each other, hesitating and beginning to retreat.
Captain Zhao Gang gritted his teeth, the veins in the hand holding the gun bulging, but he dared not pull the trigger.
This was the power of authority.
With just a few words, one could turn black into white.
Seeing that he had regained control of the scene, Director Liu Changqing snorted coldly, turned around, and went to pull the door of another police car, preparing to leave.
Just then.
A hand landed on his shoulder.
"Director Liu, quite the display of official authority."
Director Liu Changqing turned back.
He saw the young Daoist in tattered robes, who was holding his phone cara almost right up to his nose.
On the screen, millions of online viewers saw this scene clearly.
