"Bang bang bang..."
Muffled sounds ca from the confinent room, causing the mbers guarding outside from Jiangnan County’s Military Departnt to be secretly alard, yet no one dared to ask.
After a long while, the thudding sounds ceased, and everything fell silent again.
Inside the room, Qin Yanyang looked at the dying Zhang Zhaoen and said indifferently, "Talk, what’s going on?"
Zhang Zhaoen’s face was bruised and swollen, and his internal organs were severely damaged. Had he not been a martial arts expert, he would likely have perished long ago.
His heart was filled with terror and resentnt as vast as the sea. Staring unwillingly at Qin Yanyang, he could not understand how she dared to treat him this way.
"Not talking?" Qin Yanyang’s brows furrowed slightly as a cold intent to kill flashed in her eyes.
Zhang Zhaoen noticed the murderous look in her eyes, and his heart skipped a beat, finally realizing where he was.
Despite her young age and her normally gentle and kind deanor, always treating people well with a friendly smile, she was actually soone who had been stained with blood since the age of fifteen, having killed before.
Zhang Zhaoen had only one thought on his mind, this mad girl really dare to kill him here.
"What do you want to say?" Zhang Zhaoen coughed and then spoke.
Qin Yanyang said, "Who sent you to capture my husband? How did my husband, Qin Yanyang’s husband, beco the fugitive you speak of?"
Zhang Zhaoen said, "It was an arrest warrant issued by the minister. I was just following orders, and I know nothing else."
Qin Yanyang was obviously unsatisfied with this answer and shook her head, "Why didn’t the minister notify beforehand?"
"To avoid suspicion!" Zhang Zhaoen said.
Qin Yanyang sneered and responded coldly, "This is clearly aid at , knowing that I would resist, so they intentionally did this?"
Zhang Zhaoen’s heart tightened, realizing that despite her young age, not only was her martial arts cultivation unfathomable, but her intelligence was not low either; she could not be deceived.
"You have already resisted, and even let him go, and even assaulted ," Zhang Zhaoen’s voice grew louder as he looked at Qin Yanyang and said, "Even if you had great achievents in the past, no one can save you now. Moreover, Yang Fei is the person they absolutely want to catch; no one can guarantee his safety."
A glint of chill flickered in Qin Yanyang’s eyes as she said indifferently, "So they have really made a move? They actually dare to go against the agreent, and interfere in governnt affairs!"
Zhang Zhaoen’s face bore a slight sneer as he looked at Qin Yanyang, "You are still too young. You haven’t figured out who really holds the power in this world. They are high above because they possess the sufficient foundation and strength to be there."
Qin Yanyang’s face showed a look of sorrow, "I knew that they had penetrated deeply, but I didn’t expect that even the Military Departnt could be manipulated by them."
"Bow your head. With your talent and ability, you could marry into a real noble family. Why throw away your future for a re wild boy?" Zhang Zhaoen advised.
Qin Yanyang looked at him and asked, "The Zhang Family is already their people?"
Zhang Zhaoen nodded without hesitation, "Not only my Zhang Family, who in the Divine Continent dares to say that they are not their people?"
Qin Yanyang said word by word, "My Qin Family is not, and I, Qin Yanyang, am not."
After speaking, she slowly walked towards Zhang Zhaoen, her eyes sparkling, "How can the national treasure be controlled by a bunch of old fools who sit idly by their inherited seats without seeking progress? I, Qin Yanyang, will strive all my life to eliminate this filthy air."
Zhang Zhaoen’s heart chilled as he exclaid in horror, "What... what are you going to do?"
Qin Yanyang struck out with a slap.
Zhang Zhaoen was shocked, "You dare..."
"Puh!"
Qin Yanyang showed no rcy with this blow. Her hands, though seemingly delicate like jade, were in fact as firm as iron. With just one slap, Zhang Zhaoen’s sturdy skull could not withstand the impact and was shattered outright.
The door of the confinent room opened, and the deputy standing outside looked inside to see Zhang Zhaoen’s headless corpse, his pupils suddenly contracting in unbelievable shock at Qin Yanyang.
Qin Yanyang remained composed and said indifferently, "What about the others, have they been interrogated?"
"Hiss..."
The deputy took a sharp intake of breath, then stood up straight and reported, "Reporting to the leader, the rest are detained separately, waiting for your personal interrogation."
Qin Yanyang humd in acknowledgnt and said indifferently, "Zhang Zhaoen is a traitor who attempted to assassinate and was killed in self-defense. Clean this up."
"...Yes!"
After ten minutes, two more of the six n brought by Zhang Zhaoen were dead.
Qin Yanyang, with her thunderous and iron-blooded ans, purged those with malicious intentions from the Military Departnt.
She was usually amiable, always approachable, and greeted everyone with a smile. Even her subordinates, who had executed many missions with her, were seeing this side of her for the first ti. The fact that the purged included Zhang Zhaoen and mbers of the Military Departnt from the North left her subordinates feeling uneasy and anxious.
Qin Yanyang said to her adjutant, "Keep these four people detained here for now, watch them closely. Arrange for a plane, I need to return to Imperial City imdiately."
"Yes!"
Seeing Qin Yanyang composed, the adjutant, who had followed her for more than four years and was utterly loyal to her, considered her illustrious family background. Since she dared to act this way, she must have sothing to rely on, so he suppressed the worries in his heart and went to make arrangents.
As soon as the adjutant left, Qin Yanyang went to the lowest room in the base.
After closing the door, she turned on a special communication channel with a grave expression.
Once the call connected, Qin Yanyang imdiately beca solemn, her tone respectful, "Old Li, they’ve made their move. We might have to act ahead of schedule."
After a mont of contemplation on the other end of the phone, a firm voice answered, "Good, you have full authority."
"Yes!"
After hanging up, Qin Yanyang imdiately dialed another number and coldly ordered, "Close the net."
...
Yang Fei returned to his hotown with a heavy heart.
His second uncle was dead—Wang Lei would not lie about this—and apart from seeking revenge, his main concern now was the safety of Yang Hao, who had been kidnapped.
At the sa ti, he was also worried about Qin Yanyang.
With two major incidents occurring simultaneously, and his second uncle dead, Yang Hao being his second uncle’s son, he could not allow any more harm to co to him. How would he face his second uncle and how could he ever make it up to his second aunt otherwise?
Regarding Qin Yanyang, he could only hope that with the Qin Family’s power and her high status, she would have the ability to resolve the situation.
He would save Yang Hao first, then go to help Qin Yanyang.
The only thing that Yang Fei was hesitant about was whether to call the International Madman to the Divine Continent.
Moreover, he wondered if it was necessary to mobilize the forces of the Xu Family and Zhu Family.
He had just disembarked from the plane when his cellphone started ringing.
It was a call from Wang Lei.
"I’m at the exit, have you arrived?" Wang Lei’s voice ca through anxiously.
Yang Fei replied in a deep voice, "Yeah, I just got off the plane. Wait for ."
Soon, the two t up at the exit. With just one glance, Yang Fei noticed Wang Lei’s diminished aura and frowned, "Are you injured?"
"Minor injuries."
Yang Fei’s gaze fell on his left shoulder. Although the wound had been treated, Yang Fei, who was accustod to the sll of blood, was very sensitive to it.
"Who did this?" he asked directly.
This was not the ti for sentintality, so instead of concerning himself with Wang Lei’s injuries, he got straight to the point and inquired about the situation.
Wang Lei summarized the situation briefly and said in a serious tone, "The Duanmu Family’s people were definitely targeting your identity as a Taoist Inheritor. The inheritance of the Taoist is too important to the Hidden Sects’ various factions. Once your identity as a Taoist Inheritor was exposed, you would no longer have peaceful days."
"They could easily co for , why target innocent people instead?" Yang Fei’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.
His second uncle was dead, and it was his fault. This was a burden he could not bear.
Having known and fought alongside Yang Fei for several years, Wang Lei had never felt Yang Fei’s anger like he did at that mont, and he stiffened. In a grave tone, he advised, "For now, stay calm. The priority is to find Yang Hao first and prevent him from suffering any unwarranted disasters."
Yang Fei imdiately composed himself and nodded, "Did they leave any ssage when they took Yang Hao away?"
Wang Lei shook his head, "At that ti, they wanted to kill , so I had to escape to save myself first. But since they’ve taken Yang Hao, they will surely use him to find you."
Yang Fei felt frustrated; he did not like the feeling of being led by the nose by others.
"How do we get to the Hidden Sect?"
Wang Lei’s pupils shrank in surprise as he looked at Yang Fei, "What do you want to do?"
