Chapter 97: The Chief Arrives (3rd Update)

"Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, you'd better not point that gun at my head. I hate that the most. I've told you before that helping Jiang Zhengqiu frame me won't end well for you. If you don't turn back from your wrong path, retribution is coming soon."

Li Mengxue's face paled, but Zhou Lang remained as calm and composed as ever.

"So what if I point my gun at you? You're right. I took bribes from Jiang Zhengqiu and Li Zhigang to frame you, throw you in jail, and then take your woman, Li Mengxue. Do you think I'm afraid of retribution and wouldn't dare to kill you? My uncle is the Chief of the police branch, I'm definitely going to screw you over!"

Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng said arrogantly. He knew Zhou Lang could fight, but no matter how high one's martial arts skills were, they were still afraid of a kitchen knife, let alone a gun in his hand. Therefore, he wasn't afraid of Zhou Lang at all.

"Xiao Xi, tap Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng's Tianchi acupoint."

Zhou Lang really couldn't stand Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng's arrogance anymore, so he used his Divine Thought to communicate with Xiao Xi and issued the order.

Earlier, when he was handcuffed by Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng's subordinates and put into the car at Linyinju Hotel, he had accidentally bumped into Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng and tampered with him.

The technique he used was quite exquisite; Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng hadn't felt anything wrong at the time. However, after a few hours, Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng would collapse to the ground. Without his treatment, he would never be able to stand up again for the rest of his life. Originally, this time point hadn't arrived yet, but just by tapping the Tianchi acupoint, the technique he had used on Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng would take effect immediately.

"Yes, Brother Lang."

Xiao Xi replied and immediately began the action.

The Invisibility Talisman on Xiao Xi had not yet expired. Therefore, when Xiao Xi came out of the "Qiankun Palace" and arrived behind Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, not only Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, but everyone in the Chief's office remained completely unaware.

"Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, what are you doing?" Captain Tang Fei hesitated for a moment, then drew her service weapon and pointed it at Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, saying, "This is blatant illegal conduct. Do you still deserve to be a police officer? If you dare to act recklessly, I'll shoot you!"

"Captain Tang Fei, I hope you don't do anything stupid. Just the fact that you're pointing a gun at your own people to help this robber is enough for me to have you arrested."

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Chief Wu Kai stood up from his leather office chair. This guy was truly a leader; he possessed the Aura of someone in a high position, which could exert immense psychological pressure on others.

"Chief Wu Kai, it is you and Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng who are doing something stupid. You knowingly break the law, which is a crime in itself! You haven't caused a major disaster yet, so I hope you can turn back from your wrong path!"

Captain Tang Fei was unmoved and instead tried to persuade Chief Wu Kai.

"You…"

Chief Wu Kai was so angry at Captain Tang Fei that he couldn't speak. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard a "thud." Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng suddenly fell to the ground, and the gun in his hand flew away.

"My legs, what's wrong with my legs? Why don't I have any feeling in them?"

Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng screamed in terror. After falling to the ground, his legs were completely unresponsive. He couldn't even perform simple movements like bending or straightening them; it was as if he were a paralyzed patient.

"Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, what's wrong with you?" Everyone was startled. Chief Wu Kai immediately walked in front of Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng and crouched down to check his condition.

However, no one connected this to what Zhou Lang had said earlier about Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng facing retribution soon.

"Uncle, I just felt a pain in my back, and then my legs stopped listening to me… You have to save me." Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng said with a pale face. At this moment, he had no idea that it was Zhou Lang who had tampered with him.

"I'll arrange for someone to take you to the hospital immediately," Chief Wu Kai said.

"He who commits many injustices is bound to perish. For someone like him, even if he goes to the hospital, I'm afraid he won't be cured," Zhou Lang said, sounding somewhat gloating.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll shoot you!" Chief Wu Kai said in a rage.

"Chief Wu Kai, who are you going to shoot?"

Just then, noisy footsteps sounded from outside. Then, a man in his forties with a figure as straight as a rod pushed the door open and entered. He was wearing a police uniform and looked very imposing, and his rank was actually higher than Chief Wu Kai, the branch chief.

Behind this middle-aged man followed seven or eight police officers, all of them big, burly men who looked like the elite among the police.

"Chief Sun!"

Just as Chief Wu Kai was about to curse and ask which bastard was speaking, he heard Captain Tang Fei exclaim in surprise.

He stood up from the ground, and as soon as he saw who it was, he was shocked. The person who had pushed the door open was none other than Police Chief Sun Yongkang of Feiyun City, his direct superior.

"Leader Sun, I am currently handling a case. A robbery occurred at the Linyinju Hotel today. This robber is uncooperative, so I was just trying to scare him. I didn't actually want to shoot anyone," Chief Wu Kai said. "It's so late at night, why are you here?"

"Chief Wu Kai, you old rascal, you've got some nerve, lying to my face?" Police Chief Sun Yongkang glared at Chief Wu Kai, anger appearing on his face.

"Leader Sun, I… I don't understand what you mean?" Chief Wu Kai's heart pounded, and he asked timidly. As the saying goes, a thief has a guilty conscience. With Police Chief Sun Yongkang here, he was still somewhat afraid that the things he had done would be exposed.

"Chief Wu Kai, you arrested Mr. Zhou Lang and Young Miss Li Mengxue, and colluded with Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu to frame them. Isn't your nerve big enough? I personally promoted you, but I didn't expect you to change from a good police officer into what you are now!" Chief Sun said coldly.

The reason he came here was because he had received a call from Secretary Lei Gang.

Earlier, Zhou Lang had made a phone call from the interrogation room, and it was to Secretary Lei Gang. It was inconvenient for Secretary Lei to come out himself, so he arranged for Police Chief Sun Yongkang to handle the matter.

Regarding Zhou Lang's affairs, Secretary Lei did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Although Zhou Lang addressed him as 'brother,' Zhou Lang also called General Qin his brother. General Qin was Secretary Lei's old leader when he was in the military. Furthermore, Zhou Lang was a Cultivator, and his identity was extraordinary; he dared not put on any airs.

In addition, his wife's injuries had also been cured by Zhou Lang. It could be said that Zhou Lang was his benefactor. From any perspective, he had to help Zhou Lang, not to mention that someone in the police System had done such a thing. Given his character, he would certainly crack down on these lawbreakers.

Hearing Chief Sun's words, Li Mengxue breathed a sigh of relief. Because Chief Sun often appeared on television, she recognized him. Now that the Municipal Bureau Chief had stepped in, she believed that she and Zhou Lang would be fine soon.

As for Captain Tang Fei, while secretly happy, she was also very curious. Chief Sun had arrived so timely and even knew the truth of the matter. Could it be that Zhou Lang had called Chief Sun earlier?

If Zhou Lang could make Chief Sun rush over with just one phone call, wouldn't Zhou Lang's background be massive?

"Leader Sun, no… that's not the case." Chief Wu Kai started to get scared. He didn't understand how Police Chief Sun Yongkang knew about this so quickly.

"Chief Sun, this is the audio recorded by Zhou Lang, which can prove that Li Zhigang and Jiang Zhengqiu are indeed framing Zhou Lang and Li Mengxue." However, Captain Tang Fei stood out at this moment.

Chief Wu Kai and Deputy Captain Wu Jianfeng, who was lying on the ground, immediately changed expressions.
