Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Can I Make a Phone Call?

Lin Jianqiang’s scalp tingled. ’Just who is this Mr. Cheng?’

’He acts like killing a man is as easy as killing a chick!’

’How can he be so calm about it?’

"Mr. Cheng, this... isn’t a good idea."

"What’s not good about it? We’ve already killed. What’s one more!"

Cheng Yuan drew his Broken Blade and advanced on Ishihara Gouken with a sinister smile.

Cheng Yuan’s killing intent was overwhelming. Ishihara Gouken’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He was certain, absolutely positive, that Cheng Yuan would actually kill him!

The Samurai Dao spirit Ishihara Gouken was so proud of shattered. He let out a pathetic scream, turned, and ran!

He only wished his parents had given him two more legs!

Cheng Yuan chuckled in amusement.

’That’s it?’

Losing interest, Cheng Yuan sheathed his Broken Blade and strode out of the room, then couldn’t help but frown.

As Ishihara Gouken fled, some yellowish objects trickled from his pant leg, and the entire hallway filled with a nauseating stench.

’God knows what Ishihara Gouken ate!’

"Move out!"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Jianqiang led his Special Patrol Officers. Pinching their noses against the foul odor, they followed in his footsteps, trailing behind Cheng Yuan as they strode toward the exit.

Looking like a beaten dog, Ishihara Gouken scrambled into the consulate lobby just as two military-green pickup trucks sped into the courtyard.

RATTLE! RATTLE!

Two squads of fully armed Warriors disembarked and, led by a lieutenant colonel, charged into the consulate lobby!

Seeing the lieutenant colonel, Ishihara Gouken’s eyes lit up. It was his good friend from his time studying abroad in the Dragon Country—Yi Chen.

As if he had just seen his own father, Ishihara Gouken rushed forward. "Yi Chen, you’re leading the team yourself?"

A foul stench hit him, and Yi Chen frowned instinctively.

But when he got a clear look at Ishihara Gouken, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

"Ishihara, it’s been five or six years, hasn’t it? Turns out you’re the military attaché at the Luocheng consulate? Why didn’t you tell me sooner? We could have grabbed a couple of drinks."

"Yi Chen, now is not the time to catch up. Two criminals murdered the consul, and Lin Sang of the Tide Sea Patrol Office is covering for them. You absolutely cannot let them get away!"

"Ishihara, don’t worry. I will definitely handle this impartially. However, I’ll need you to provide the video of the attack."

"No problem."

As they spoke, Cheng Yuan and Scarface arrived in the consulate lobby, flanked by Lin Jianqiang and his Special Patrol Officers.

Ishihara Gouken pointed at Cheng Yuan. "He’s the one who killed the consul!"

Yi Chen’s expression darkened. "Men! Arrest the murderer at once!"

"Yes, sir!"

Two Warriors broke from the ranks and strode toward Cheng Yuan.

Lin Jianqiang’s expression changed. He quickly stepped forward, blocking the two Warriors, and looked at Yi Chen with obvious displeasure.

"My friend, this is a criminal case that occurred in our Tide Sea jurisdiction. It should be handled by the Tide Sea Patrol Office. The Luocheng Defense Zone has no business getting involved, does it?"

Yi Chen snorted. "This is no simple criminal case. Your Patrol Office can’t handle it. The Luocheng Defense Zone has already taken over! Hand over the suspect immediately! Otherwise, I’ll consider the Tide Sea Patrol Office to be harboring a fugitive!"

Lin Jianqiang also snorted. "I’m sorry, but I can’t cooperate. Why should I hand over the man I arrested to your Defense Zone? If you want him, go through the proper channels and speak with my superiors! Now move!"

Lin Jianqiang shoved the two Warriors aside and tried to force his way through with his men.

Lin Jianqiang’s police rank was high, so the Warriors didn’t dare to act rashly. They all looked to Yi Chen for instructions.

Yi Chen had no intention of indulging Lin Jianqiang’s temper. He said in a low voice, "The two suspects aren’t even in handcuffs. It’s obvious the Tide Sea Patrol Office is harboring criminals. Arrest them all! No one leaves!"

"Yes, sir!"

With a collective CLICK-CLACK, the Warriors raised their guns, the dark muzzles aimed at Cheng Yuan and the Special Patrol Officers.

The two Warriors whom Lin Jianqiang had shoved aside were especially furious and moved to apprehend him.

Lin Jianqiang was sticking his neck out for him, so of course Cheng Yuan wouldn’t let him be bullied. He said lightly, "Scarface, protect Director Lin. But don’t kill the Warriors."

"Yes!"

Scarface grunted in acknowledgment, took a step forward, and with a savage charge, sent the two Warriors sprawling to the ground!

This scene made the Warriors’ eyes twitch wildly.

’This big lug is a beast!’

’What kind of physique does he have?’

’He’s practically a brown bear!’

Yi Chen was furious. "What are you all gawking at? Get them! Arrest the two suspects immediately! If they resist arrest, kill them on the spot!"

"Yes, sir!"

The Warriors surged forward, forming a fan-like cordon that tightly surrounded Cheng Yuan and Scarface.

Lin Jianqiang’s temper flared as well. He roared, "You think you’re the only ones with guns? We’ve got guns, too! The entire Tide Sea Patrol Office is armed! Even if we die today, we will ensure Mr. Cheng’s safety!"

"Yes, sir!"

CLICK-CLACK!

The Special Patrol Officers raised their guns.

Although the Special Patrol Officers were far outmatched by the Warriors in both numbers and equipment, they fearlessly aimed their dark muzzles at them.

The Warriors had never encountered a situation like this and had no idea how to handle it. They could only stop and look to Yi Chen for guidance.

Yi Chen was so angry he laughed. "A moment ago, Ishihara said your Tide Sea Patrol Office was harboring suspects. I didn’t believe him then, but I believe him now! You really are harboring them! Do you really think we don’t dare to shoot? The men of the Flying Tiger Team are here! We will kill anyone who obstructs our duty! I’ll take full responsibility for whatever happens!"

"Yes, SIR!"

Having received Yi Chen’s order, the aura of the Flying Tiger Team’s Warriors instantly surged, and their gazes became incredibly resolute.

If Lin Jianqiang and his men dared to interfere, they would truly open fire.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the lobby became incredibly oppressive. The slightest disturbance would trigger a brutal firefight.

Cheng Yuan didn’t want the Warriors and Patrol Officers to die for nothing. He raised a hand to pat Lin Jianqiang’s shoulder and said in a placating tone, "Director Lin, I appreciate the gesture. Let me handle these Warriors."

"Mr. Cheng, my orders were..."

Cheng Yuan waved his hand, cutting Lin Jianqiang off. He waggled the phone in his hand and looked at Yi Chen with a faint smile. "My friend, may I make a phone call?"

The expressions on the faces of Lin Jianqiang and the Special Patrol Officers turned peculiar. Just moments ago, Cheng Yuan had made a single phone call and changed the entire situation. ’Could he know important people in the Defense Zone, too?’

Yi Chen’s third uncle was the highest-ranking commander of the Luocheng Defense Zone, so his confidence was boundless.

"Kid, you killed the consul! It doesn’t matter who you call; you can’t change your fate! Just wait to be tried by a military tribunal! Don’t waste your time! Men, take them down!"

Lin Jianqiang took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Friend, I suggest you let Mr. Cheng make that call. Otherwise, you won’t be able to handle the consequences."

This struck Yi Chen as hilarious, and he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, you’re a real comedian! Fine! Let the kid make his call! I’d love to see what, in the entire Luocheng Defense Zone, could possibly be something that I, Yi Chen, can’t handle!"
