âThatâs pretty normal,â said Zhang Peng, who was driving.
âMy hometown is in the countryside, too, and it isnât much better than here. Thereâs also a clan hall, and this is Shanwei where the concept of family clans is even stronger. Itâs understandable that thereâs a clan hall.â
âLetâs first take a look inside,â Lin Yi whispered.
âIf itâs really like this, it might be even harder to deal with.â
Soon, Zhang Peng pulled the car up to the front of the clan hall.
The group got out of the car and walked towards the clan hall.
Seeing Lin Yi and the others, Liu Huasheng and Zhu Xiangrong came out and spoke politely, âMay I ask who you are?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWe are the police,â Li Hao certainly wasnât about to let up, showing his ID, âWe suspect you are involved in a child trafficking case. Come with us.â
âHow could that be possible, weâve never done such a thing.â
âAt this point, you still want to argue?â Li Hao coldly countered.
âYour people have been caught, and they have named you. Thereâs no point in saying all this now.â
With that, Li Hao waved his hand, signaling for Zhou Li to be brought out.
âBoss⦠bossâ¦â
Seeing Zhou Li, Liu Huashengâs complexion changed. At this point, it seemed there was nothing he could say that wouldnât sound feeble.
âOfficer, if you have evidence, you can take me now. But if you donât, it amounts to slander. I wonât take the blame for such a charge â be careful or Iâll sue you for defamation.â
âThe testimony is already here, do you still deny it?â
âArrests should be made with both testimonial and physical evidence.â
Liu Huasheng pointed at Zhou Li, âI donât know this man at all. It canât be whatever he says goes, right?â
Faced with Liu Huashengâs unreasonable arrogance, Li Hao was at a disadvantage.
The arrival was indeed sudden, and many procedures werenât prepared. Coupled with his resistance, the situation was somewhat tense.
âWhy waste so much breath? Just take him,â Lin Yi always was a man who didnât play by the book, especially when facing the likes of Liu Huasheng.
If it werenât for his own status, he would have resorted to violence by now.
Following Lin Yiâs orders, the officers from the police station immediately moved to take Liu Huasheng away.
At the same time, Liu Huasheng took a step back, distancing himself from the police officers.
âYou have no right to arrest me unless you show an arrest warrant.â
âDonât worry, an arrest warrant will be issued, but for now, youâd best listen to reason. Itâs better for everyone.â
âThatâs not going to work,â Liu Huasheng said calmly.
âEven if I agreed to go with you, these brothers of mine wouldnât.â
No sooner had these words been spoken than Zhu Xiangrong pulled out a switchblade from behind his back, looking coldly at Lin Yi and the others.
Just at that moment, more than two hundred people rushed in from all sides of the clan hall, surrounding Lin Yi and the team.
The situation suddenly flipped, a suffocating sense of oppression enveloping everyoneâs hearts.
Before this, no one had expected them to dare to do something so audacious.
âBoss!â
Taking advantage of the moment of shock, Zhou Li and others broke free and ran over to Liu Huashengâs side.
âBoss, these people seem to know a lot. They absolutely canât be left alive, or weâre done for!â
âFuck, you did this on purpose!â Li Hao squinted his eyes and cursed.
âYou only realize now?â
Zhou Li, still handcuffed, didnât lose any of his defiant attitude and pointed at him, saying:
âLet me tell you the truth, I intentionally led you guys here. Youâd better be aware that if youâve come here, donât expect to leave alive!â
Zhou Minâs body stiffened; she was a bit scared.
Given these peopleâs ruthlessness, there was nothing they wouldnât dare to do.
But, standing beside her, Gu Yiran showed no fear at all, even reaching toward the small of her back.
It was at that moment that she realized her hand was being held.
It was Lin Yiâs hand.
Gu Yiran lowered his head and saw Lin Yiâs left hand holding his own, while his right hand grasped Zhang Zixin and slowly pulled them both behind him.
After he had shielded Gu Yiran behind his body,
the atmosphere in the field fell into a stagnant state.
No one knew what would happen.
Nobody knew what Lin Yi would do next.
At this moment, Liu Huasheng, who had the upper hand, said:
âI didnât want this to happen, but since youâve come and discovered our affair, I can only resort to this.â
Lin Yi looked around and then his gaze settled on Liu Huasheng.
âJudging by the looks of it, nearly everyone in the village is on your side.â
âYou guessed right, they are all my men,â Liu Huasheng said:
âI hope you wonât resist, I will arrange for your decent burial.â
âIâm afraid that wonât do,â Lin Yi said indifferently, âIâm too young to die so soon.â
âBut at this time, itâs not up to you anymore,â Liu Huasheng said:
âIf you donât die, then it will be us who perish, and I donât want that.â
After speaking, Liu Huasheng waved his hand, âDo it, quick and decisive.â
âYes!â
Over two hundred men, responding in unison, exuded a murderous aura, ready to strike at any moment.
âYou all look after yourselves, leave the others to me!â
Lin Yi took a dagger from behind his waist and dashed forward in an instant!
He grabbed one of the nearest men and stabbed him in the abdomen!
Ahâ
The scream resonated through the night as the man stabbed by Lin Yi collapsed and died on the spot.
The blood that splattered covered Lin Yiâs face.
This bloody scene startled Liu Huasheng.
Lin Yiâs ruthlessness exceeded his expectations.
In his mind, a police officer couldnât possibly be so vicious.
âCome on, letâs see how long your two hundred plus men can last against me.â
âLin Bro, be careful!â Zhang Zixin shouted loudly.
âDonât lose your formation!â Gu Yiran said:
âYouâre responsible for covering Lin Yi, Iâll handle the outer defense!â
With Gu Yiranâs command, the others also reacted and drew their weapons from their waists.
While protecting themselves, they also provided cover for others.
At this moment, Lin Yi was like a lion charging into a flock of sheep!
Invincible!
In just the blink of an eye, over ten men had fallen to the ground!
As for whether they could stand up again, that was an unknown!
Standing in the ancestral hall, Liu Huasheng watched the melee below with a cold gaze.
Discovering that Lin Yiâs prowess had reached an alarming level!
Screams and gunshots were constant, and in just a few minutes, another thirty-odd men had collapsed to the ground!
Almost every one of them was wounded, their blood flowing like small streams!
But Lin Yi showed no signs of fatigue!
Fist to flesh!
Blade to the lethal point!
At this moment!
No one was his match!
No one could stop him!
