Strongest Soldier King Chapter 262 262: Furious Threat

Song Yan's face turned extrely ugly from being forced into a corner. If he retracted the command, his dignity and authority would be completely lost. If he didn't withdraw it, his life would be at stake. Song Yan knew sothing about Lan Xue's temperant; she ant what she said and even the mightiest figures couldn't control her when enraged. With no other option, he turned to the yet-to-depart chief of the serious cri unit and barked, "Why are you still standing there? Co up with a plan to pull this crazy woman away!"

The chief of the serious cri unit looked at Lan Xue with so difficulty. On one hand was his superior's superior and on the other, a comrade he had fought alongside. After thinking it over, he decided to support the vice mayor. It wasn't that he held any hostility towards Lan Xue; it's just that this spectacle was unseemly, and watching a higher-up being blackmailed didn't bode well for his own reputation.

Seeing the chief of the serious cri unit waver, Ghost Hand silently lunged forward in a swift movent and struck with a devastating hand chop that knocked the chief unconscious. As the chief hit the ground, his eyes closed with a hint of relief showing through. It was better this way, offending neither side. The other mbers of the serious cri unit exploded into action upon seeing their chief taken down and prepared to retaliate. Ghost Hand calmly drew his gun and pressed it against the head of the fallen chief, coldly observing the ones attempting to rush forward.

The mbers of the serious cri unit changed their complexions at this scene—they were way too ferocious, utterly lawless! One had a gun to the vice mayor's head and the other to their chief's. What were they to do? They looked at each other, forced to step back and wait for an opportunity to act.

"Are you trying to rebel?" Song Yan, seeing that even the chief of the serious cri unit had been subdued, suddenly found his spirits lifted and demanded coldly.

"Even if I am rebelling, it would be because you forced to," Lan Xue responded unflinchingly, her fury escalating at the thought of Luo Zheng's imminent danger. She added chillingly, "You have three seconds to think it over, or else, death."

"Uh?" Song Yan had no doubt about Lan Xue's resolve, his face turning bitter.

Just then, a large group of people surged in, led by none other than the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security. Song Yan's face instantly lit up with joy as he said coldly, "Now it's good. The situation is out of control. I'd like to see how the Lan family handles this."

"You needn't worry about it; you have two seconds left," Lan Xue said, her tone firm and filled with lethal intent, unmoved.

"Fine, I take back the command. I want to see how you'll clean up this ss," Song Yan sneered disdainfully.

Lan Xue took a few cold steps back, glancing at the newcors, her expression unchanged. She took out her phone and dialed a number. Without waiting for the call to connect, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security approached and glared at Song Yan before demanding angrily, "Tell , what the hell is going on here? What are you two trying to do?"

"If you don't want to die, then stay out of the way," Lan Xue said coldly as her call connected.

Before Lan Xue could speak, a kindly voice said, "I'm already aware of the situation. Don't worry, I won't let anyone shoot down the helicopter in any way. As for your end, don't hesitate to respond if soone causes trouble. Yi Jing will support you, and the chief is also aware of this. Rest assured, I'm currently in a eting with the chief, so I won't say more." With that, the call ended.

With her grandfather's assurance, Lan Xue felt a sense of great relief inside. She gave the furious deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security a chilling glance and stated, "My people killed about a dozen terrorists to save everyone and willingly beca hostages. Now, he wants to shoot down the helicopter and kill my people. I'm stopping him. It's that simple. What is your opinion?"

The deputy minister glared at Lan Xue, his dissatisfaction evident as he retorted, "Even if I disagreed, would you still make a move on ?"

"Yes," Lan Xue didn't bother to hide her murderous aura as she responded coldly, "I've said it before: he can die, but he absolutely cannot be killed by his own. No one. Otherwise, I don't mind giving him a bullet first."

"This is absolutely outrageous," the agitated deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, wary of an accidental discharge, urged gently, "Put down the gun. Let's discuss this reasonably. I assure you, I will not allow anyone to attack the helicopter. The heroes will not shed blood and tears again. What do you say?"

"Minister?" an astonished Song Yan cried out.

"Enough, I have my judgnts. I've heard so of the dealings between the Song family and him. In our public security system, we absolutely forbid such acts of favoring relatives or fulfilling revenge, and we cannot tolerate abuse of power. Let's put an end to this matter," the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security declared unhappily.

"Imdiately clean up the scene and go do what you're supposed to," the deputy minister said to the chief of the serious cri unit, then looked at Lan Xue with a wry smile, "You feel relieved now, right?"

Lan Xue, who also ca from a prominent family and was not ignorant of politics, sensed that the issue had been resolved. She holstered her gun and shot Ghost Hand a look, signaling the deputy minister to step aside. She whispered softly, "Uncle Zhang, thank you."

"You, still as hot-tempered as ever, even daring to draw a gun on ," said the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security with a bitter smile.

"I had no choice; the Song family was determined to be ruthless," Lan Xue said apologetically in a whisper, "Considering the help you've given , I'll share a piece of information with you. The chief is also aware of this matter and is very angry. The chief said that under no circumstances shall anyone lay a hand on anyone, no excuse, no form, otherwise, I am authorized to carry out summary execution. You know my status. If I had actually fired, it would have been under orders."

"I know you're the chief's personal soldier. Is that what your grandfather told you?" the deputy minister asked quietly, a turmoil brewing inside him, alard at the close save, knowing he had made a wise decision. If he hadn't, his death would have been in vain. At the sa ti, he sensed trouble brewing for the Song family.

"What do you think?" Lan Xue replied, unfazed.

"Alright, I understand. It's a state secret, I won't ask further. You may go now; I'll take care of everything here. I promise there won't be any mistakes. Send my regards to your grandfather," assured the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security.

"Thank you, I'll make sure the ssage gets through." The two tacitly reached a certain understanding, and with the weight lifted from her shoulders, Lan Xue left quickly, content in the deputy minister's guarantee. She believed Song Yan wouldn't dare to act rashly. After giving Ghost Hand a look, they both hastened away, Lan Xue's heart burning with urgency for Luo Zheng's predicant.
