Chapter 268: The Domineering Ye Qingcheng (3rd Update)

Chapter 268: The Domineering Ye Qingcheng

The Dragon Group and the police immediately investigated the area surrounding the gas station, but the Combat Team members were extremely skilled; they had destroyed all surveillance cameras in the areas they passed through. Coupled with the lack of eyewitnesses, there was not a shred of evidence to prove they were responsible.

China is a great nation, and the Combat Team had come to China for an exchange. If they were arrested directly without evidence, it would certainly cause international friction. Therefore, no matter how furious General Qin was, he could not simply arrest them.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Lang, General Qin, and General Long Aohu gathered at a Dragon Group base to discuss how to handle the situation.

This incident had crossed the bottom line of the Chinese Military and Zhou Lang. If the Combat Team had purely wanted to kill Zhou Lang, he could understand that, but these people had harmed dozens of innocent people. He would not let scum like "Tyrant" remain in this world.

"Mr. Zhou, what is your opinion on this matter?"

General Long Aohu asked Zhou Lang. In truth, he was very curious—the "Tyrant" and his cohorts had used rocket launchers to detonate the gas station, leveling everything to the ground, shattering everything, and blowing cars to pieces. How had Zhou Lang remained unharmed? Was Zhou Lang's body tougher than steel plating?

Facing such a terrifying attack, Zhou Lang had still escaped safely; this was enough to prove that Zhou Lang's strength was truly astonishing.

In fact, although Zhou Lang was a Cultivator, under such a violent attack, he would have been injured if he hadn't possessed his ancestral treasure and hidden inside the "Qiankun Palace," because the impact from an explosion at that distance was enough to destroy everything.

"The 'Tyrant' and his crew likely realized I am not with the Dragon Group, so they wanted to eliminate me and then challenge the Dragon Group once again to achieve their goal."

Zhou Lang said: "Actually, I had discovered them tailing me a long time ago. I intended to lure them to the outskirts specifically because I was afraid of harming innocent people. I didn't expect these lunatics to be so deranged as to attack the gas station with rocket launchers. I once heard a saying: 'Those who offend China, no matter how far away they are, will be punished.' Now that they are acting this brazenly, if we don't kill them, it will be hard to quell the anger in our hearts."

"Such people naturally deserve to die, but without evidence, it is very difficult to arrest them," General Long Aohu sighed, feeling that this matter was quite thorny.

"Aohu is right. Although the Combat Team is currently under our surveillance, we cannot simply make arrests. Once we do, it evolves into an international dispute," General Qin said indignantly. "However, if we don't kill these people, I cannot be at peace, nor can I provide an explanation to the innocent souls who died."

He was already over ninety years old, but at this moment, his tiger-like eyes were wide open, and his Killing Intent was overflowing, possessing quite a deterrent effect. Back in the day, he had fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. When he was angry, there was a heart-stopping Killing Intent about him—a kind of Killing Intent that generals in the peaceful era who had never been to a battlefield or experienced life-and-death combat did not possess.

"Brother, General Long, this time it was due to my oversight that so many people died. Leave these twenty pieces of scum to me; I will eliminate them without a sound."

Zhou Lang said. If he didn't kill the "Combat Team" members with his own hands, his conscience would not be at ease.

"I estimate these people are a bit fearful now and will definitely try to find a way to escape or seek asylum at the Embassy. I have already investigated: this Combat Team is under the command of the notorious Count William of England. William has immense influence. I estimate that 'Tyrant' and his people will definitely hide in the Embassy of England in China. Once the heat dies down, they will try to sneak away. The Embassy is heavily guarded; I'm afraid no one can sneak in to kill them."

General Long Aohu said worriedly. Although he knew Zhou Lang was very powerful, he still believed this method was unfeasible. If Zhou Lang snuck into the Embassy to kill and was discovered, it would trigger an international dispute.

"General Long, you are overthinking it. Even if they have advanced surveillance equipment, they cannot monitor me," Zhou Lang said. "Now, I will let General Long witness my ability."

By this time, Zhou Lang no longer held back or kept a low profile. With a wave of his hand, he pulled a yellowed talisman out of thin air from his ancestral copper coin.

"What is this?"

It wasn't just General Long Aohu; even General Qin was surprised, and they both asked in unison.

Zhou Lang had taken out a talisman—was he going to perform magic? Such a strange thing had never been seen even by the knowledgeable General Qin, let alone others.

"This is an Invisibility Talisman. After sticking it on, one can become invisible."

Zhou Lang explained briefly, and amidst the skeptical looks from General Qin and General Long Aohu, he stuck the Invisibility Talisman onto his forehead.

His entire person instantly vanished before General Qin and General Long Aohu, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

"My god, Zhou Lang has really disappeared. This is truly magical."

General Qin and General Long Aohu searched all around the conference room but could not find Zhou Lang. They were greatly shocked. They had thought that a Cultivator was at most an enhanced version of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but they hadn't expected Cultivators to have magical means like invisibility. This was truly an eye-opener for them.

The next moment, Zhou Lang peeled off the Invisibility Talisman, and General Qin and General Long Aohu discovered he was still sitting on a chair at the conference table, appearing as if his posture hadn't even changed.

"Little brother, your methods are so superb that they have truly exceeded this old brother's expectations. Since you can turn invisible, killing 'Tyrant' and his crew will be an easy task."

General Qin sighed and then analyzed: "But if these people all die suddenly in our China at once, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention. I think it would be better to let them die slowly; it would look like an accident. That way, no one will investigate this matter or suspect that it was our Chinese Military who did it."

"Brother, rest assured. I can do it flawlessly, without letting anyone notice a thing," Zhou Lang said.

"Then this old brother is relieved." General Qin felt at ease and said to General Long Aohu: "Your Dragon Group is responsible for figuring out the latest movements of the Combat Team and notifying Zhou Lang at any time."

"Mr. Zhou, please wear this watch." General Long Aohu took out a specially made watch and handed it to Zhou Lang.

This watch was actually a communicator; it could clearly display the location of every member of the Combat Team, so Zhou Lang put the watch on.

Not long after, a knock sounded outside the conference room.

"Come in!"

General Long Aohu said loudly.

Subsequently, Zhou Lang saw General Qin's grandson, Qin Pojun, walk in.

"Report! We have now found the exact location of that scum. They have already entered the Embassy of England in China. It seems they are scared and are seeking asylum at the Embassy."

Qin Pojun gave a military salute to General Qin and General Long Aohu and reported. He was the captain of the Dragon Group's Fourth Brigade, mainly in charge of intelligence affairs.

"Just as I expected."

General Qin nodded and said: "Continue monitoring these guys. As for the specific actions, Zhou Lang will handle it personally."

"Yes!"

Qin Pojun gave a sharp military salute and then turned and left.

He was General Qin's grandson, but in the military, there are no fathers and sons, and naturally no grandfathers and grandsons. In the unit, everything must be done according to military rules; he could not receive special treatment just because he was from a military family.

"Brother, General Long, since the Combat Team members have all entered the Embassy of England in China, it is time for me to act." After Qin Pojun left, Zhou Lang said. He was already impatient to kill "Tyrant" and his crew.

"Alright, Mr. Zhou. For safety's sake, it is better if I send someone to support you from the perimeter," General Long Aohu said. He was a more steady person and believed in ensuring nothing could go wrong.

"Who will you send to support me?" Zhou Lang asked curiously. With his cultivation and ability, did he still need someone to support him?

"I plan to send Ye Qingcheng. She is the Gun Queen and can lie in wait on the perimeter of the Embassy. If you encounter any accidents, she can provide you with fire support from the outside. Her combat skills are far inferior to yours, but her marksmanship is truly formidable. Only with the two of you working together will it be absolutely foolproof."

General Long Aohu said.

"General Long, is that really necessary?"

Zhou Lang said. He knew Ye Qingcheng had a crush on him, so he wanted to refuse Ye Qingcheng as his partner to avoid being pestered by this woman and causing unnecessary trouble.

"Little brother Zhou, you should take Ye Qingcheng with you. Having her there is also a kind of safeguard." But unexpectedly, General Qin also said.

Zhou Lang had no choice but to say nothing and accept the arrangement.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Lang and Ye Qingcheng met at the Dragon Group base.

In the morning, Ye Qingcheng had been in her military uniform, looking heroic and dashing, but at this moment she was wearing casual clothes—a simple T-shirt paired with jeans, and casual sneakers on her feet. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look charming amidst her youth. It was a big difference from her image in uniform, making Zhou Lang's eyes light up.

"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect us to meet so soon. It seems we really have some fate."

Ye Qingcheng looked at Zhou Lang with a smile, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and affection. It seemed she had truly taken a liking to Zhou Lang.

"Having fate often equates to having no destiny together," Zhou Lang said, killing the mood.

"You are right, but as long as there is a one-in-a-thousand chance, I will fight for it."

Ye Qingcheng didn't seem to mind, instead smiling sweetly: "In terms of martial arts, I am far inferior to you, but as long as I have a gun in hand, in terms of real combat capability, I might not be below you. Today, I will protect you well."

"You protect me? That's truly a joke," Zhou Lang said indifferently. "We are on a mission now, so stop dilly-dallying and get in the car so we can go."

"I am more familiar with the roads in the capital, so I will drive."

Ye Qingcheng nodded and got into the driver's seat.

After Zhou Lang got into the passenger seat, Ye Qingcheng started the car and drove toward the Embassy of England in China.

Ye Qingcheng's driving skills were very good, and she quickly drove the car into an alley about three hundred meters away from the Embassy.

"Mr. Zhou, after I get to the high ground over there and set up the sniper rifle, you can begin your operation."

Ye Qingcheng said: "Entering the Embassy to execute a mission is not a simple matter. If things don't go smoothly, or if you encounter danger, just run straight outside. I will support you from the outside. You are the man I have set my sights on; I won't allow you to die before me."

This girl was really quite domineering, even more so than that Tyrannosaurus Policewoman, Captain Tang Fei.
