The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  In less than two minutes, he was back in the village. He told his grandparents that there was something urgent that he had to attend to, then jumped in his car and drove out of Dragonrock Village.

  He got on the main road toward the county seat.

  His phone suddenly started ringing. It was indeed from Zhao Qingxue.

  “Are you alright? What’s going on?” Tang Hao said anxiously when he answered the call.

  “I’m fine for now. They’re still coming after me. The Dongying people!” Zhao Qingxue was still panting. She had not calmed down yet.

  Then, she cursed them. “What’s up with these Dongying people? Can’t they let me spend my Lunar New Year in peace?”

  “Dongying people?” Tang Hao was surprised, then he immediately understood. Miki Group must be hunting her down for revenge.

  The last time when he was on the cruise ship, he killed about half the people there and caused Makoto Miki to be captured. After that, the police and military combined forces to eradicate Miki Group’s influence in Huaxia. Miki Group must have suffered heavy losses because of that.

  They were finally taking their revenge.

  However, they had picked an inappropriate time to do so. It was the Lunar New Year!

  “Dammit!” Tang Hao was furious when he thought of that.

  “Fortunately, the Artifact you gave me blocked a bullet. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be alive now,” Zuao Qingxue said, still frightened.

  “Where are you now?” Tang Hao asked.

  “East of town!”

  “Continue driving eastward. I’ll meet up with you,” Tang Hao said. He was driving toward the direction of that part of town anyway. He could sense that their locations were getting closer.

  “This is bad. They’re gaining on me!” Suddenly, Zhao Qingxue shrieked. Then, Tang Hao heard a loud crash. Someone must have collided with Zhao Qingxue’s car and rammed it off the road.

  Then, he could hear the sounds of gunfire.

  “This is bad!” Tang Hao exclaimed and became more anxious than ever.

  He floored the accelerator and activated the jade talismans. The car sped on the main road as fast as lightning.

  Within a minute, he could see three black cars blocking a lane on the road. A white car had crashed to the mountainside next to the road.

  A group of men dressed in black were using the cars as cover and shooting at the white car.

  Bang! Bang!

  A volley of bullets landed on the white car, forming multiple holes.

  He could vaguely see someone dressed in red between the white car and the mountain wall. The figure was holding a gun and occasionally returned fire.

  “These Dongying bastards are too brazen!”

  Tang Hao narrowed his eyes. Without losing any speed, he rammed his cars toward the black cars.

  The Dongying people did not manage to react. Some of them were sent flying by the impact, while some were caught between cars and ground into mincemeat.

  The remaining survivors were dumbstruck. They fell on the ground trembling. Some of them wet their pants.

  Even Zhao Qingxue was dumbstruck when she saw that.

  She knew that Tang Hao’s car was special, but she was afraid that he might be injured because of the sudden impact.

  “Don’t move!”

  She came to her senses. Then, she rushed forward and pointed her gun at the people on the ground. She quickly got them to surrender their weapons.

  She laughed mockingly when she saw their wet pants.

  Tang Hao got out of his car and carefully examined Zhao Qingxue. He was relieved when he saw that she was generally unharmed, other than her forehead and elbow which were grazed.

  He turned to look at the survivors, and his expression turned cold.

  He walked over and glanced at them coldly. “Who here knows how to speak Chinese?” He roared.

  The few people looked at each other. One of them nodded and spoke in halting Chinese, “I… I know!”

  “Cuff up the others!” Tang Hao told Zhao Qingxue as he pointed at the other people.

  Zhao Qingxue instantly took out several plastic handcuffs from her car and restrained those people.

  Tang Hao brought the Dongying person who knew Chinese aside. He fed him a Truth Pill, after which the person spilled the beans on everything.

  According to him, revenge was not the reason why they infiltrated Huaxia. Instead, they were there to rescue Makoto Miki.

  Makoto Miki was from the Miki family and held a high position in the yakuza group. Miki Group had dispatched many people to Huaxia to rescue him.

  Those included many high-ranked members in the group and also people with supernatural powers.

  That person was just a lowly minion, and he did not know too many details. Tang Hao could guess that they were not normal people. After all, he had encountered ninja cultivators on the cruise ship.

  If the person said that there were many powerful figures, then the matter would be quite troublesome.

  “Dammit, causing trouble on Lunar New Year!” Tang Hao cursed. He slapped the person and knocked him out.

  He dusted his hands and stood up. He turned around and noticed Zhao Qingxue was staring at him.

  Chapter 353 - Wipe Out Miki Group

  Zhao Qingxue was very beautiful. She had a tall and slender body, a perfect almond-shaped face, fair and delicate skin, and her eyebrows looked like brush strokes.

  Her hair was slightly messy, but that did not diminish her beauty.

  She stood there, standing there looking at Tang Hao without blinking.

  Tang Hao’s heart skipped a beat when his eyes met hers.

  Zhao Qingxue bit her lip, and her gaze became resentful.

  “Happy Lunar New Year!” Tang Hao thought hard for something to say. He eventually squeezed those words from his mouth.

  “You call this happy?” Zhao Qingxue cursed softly, though she looked visibly relieved. “This isn’t the right occasion to greet someone a happy Lunar New Year!”

  Tang Hao laughed awkwardly.

  They looked at each other silently for a while.

  Zhao Qingxue bit her lip, walked over determinedly, and fell into Tang Hao’s embrace.

  “Don’t move!”

  The police officer ordered him.

  Tang Hao wanted to push her away but stopped. He allowed her to hug him.

  She abruptly lifted her head and looked at Tang Hao. Their faces were only inches away.

  Then, she leaned forward assertively and kissed his lips.

  Tang Hao’s eyes went wide immediately. He did not know how to react.

  ‘Oh my god! What does Officer Zhao think she’s doing? We’re next to the main road!’

  The Dongying people were also looking at them, slack-jawed.

  A sudden, ear-piercing sound of a car horn brought the two back to their senses.

  There were not many cars on the main road, but one lane was blocked, and traffic was building up. The drivers stuck their heads out from their cars and gawked at the couple.

  At first, they were curious and excited, but eventually, they became impatient.

  “Dammit, are you guys done yet?”

  The drivers yelled from their cars. Some of them also sounded envious.

  Zhao Qingxue detached herself from Tang Hao and took a step back.

  Then, her expression turned cold. “Why are you yelling? I’m a police officer, can’t you see that there is an accident here? Move along!”

  The drivers were all stunned.

  They did not expect that the exceptionally beautiful woman was a police officer.

  Then, they showered her with whistles and catcalls.

  “Arrest me too, Officer! I’ve been a bad boy!” Some of the people were yelling.

  Zhao Qingxue rolled her eyes at them.

  Soon, they heard police sirens coming from afar. Three police cars stopped near them, and the car doors opened. Captain Zhou stepped out of the car first.

  �
�Dammit, can’t we celebrate Lunar New Year in peace?” Captain Zhou was grumbling. He squeezed himself around the cars.

  He was shocked when he saw who was there.

  “Hey, isn’t this Lil Zhao? Oh, and Brother Tang is here too! You’re…” Captain Zhou shouted.

  Then, he noticed a pool of blood on the road. He was petrified when he noticed the dead bodies, and a chill went down his spine.

  The people trapped between the cars were reduced to mincemeat. That was a horrendous sight.

  “That is…?” Captain Zhou’s expression was grim.

  Zhao Qingxue told him what happened earlier.

  “What? Dongying people? Those bastards! F*ck their mothers. Those bastards come here and try to hunt down and kill one of us? They’ve gone too far this time.”

  Captain Zhou was livid. He went over to the captured Dongying people and beat them up.

  The other police officers were also angry and threw a few punches at them.

  Then, they recorded a statement from Tang Hao and Zhao Qingxue.

  “I’ll leave this to you, Captain Zhou!” Tang Hao said.

  Those captured people were not cultivators. The police could take care of them.

  “Alright! Don’t worry, we’ll give them special treatment,” Captain Zhou said.

  Tang Hao brought Zhao Qingxue into the car. He was silent for a while.

  Makoto Miki had nearly caused Zhao Qingxue’s death last time. Now, they returned to Huaxia to hunt her down. Tang Hao could not tolerate foreign criminals doing crime in his homeland.

  Furthermore, they had Zhao Qingxue in their sights. They had failed to kill her when they sent over normal people. What if they sent ninja cultivators the next time? The blood jade bead would not be able to protect her against that.

  ‘I’ll have to wipe Miki Group off the face of the earth!’

  That was how he could ensure Zhao Qingxue’s safety.

  The chill in his gaze became more intense as his killing intent rose.

  “What are you thinking about?” Zhao Qingxue was curious when she saw that he was silently brooding.

  “Nothing! Right, are you back in Westridge to visit your relatives?”

  “I’ve always been in Westridge! My parents are staying with me for now. I was planning to go shopping today.”

  “I’ll send you back. You have to be careful these few days,” Tang Hao said.

  “Yup!” Zhao Qingxue replied.

  After sending Zhao Qingxue home, Tang Hao gave a call to General Bai to ask about Makoto Miki’s whereabouts.

  “What? Makoto Miki? That’s so long ago. Let me ask around!” A while later, General Bai returned to the call. “I’ve found his location. He’s currently kept in the maximum-security prison in Province Z.

  “Why are you suddenly asking about him though?” General Bai asked curiously.

  “Miki Group is in Huaxia. They want to break him out of prison. They might make their move tonight,” Tang hao said.

  “Haha! Do they think that they can infiltrate a prison so easily? They’re only gangsters.” General Bai laughed.

  “They have cultivators with them. Ninja cultivators!” Tang Hao said coldly.

  “What?” General Bai exclaimed. He was instantly flustered.

  Chapter 354 - Meeting Makoto Miki Again

  “That’s big trouble!” General Bai said. “It’s the holiday season now and there aren’t many guards stationed in the prison. I’m back in my hometown too!”

  “They must have thought of that. That’s why they’re making their move now,” Tang Hao said.

  “These Dongying bastards are cunning!” General Bai said angrily. “No, this won’t do! If they manage to break him out of prison, then it’ll be a great embarrassment.

  “I’ll inform the prison now so that they can strengthen their defenses. I’ll dispatch the military there too.”

  “That’s not going to be enough. They won’t breach the prison by brute force. They’ll definitely be infiltrating the prison with the ninja cultivators. The military won’t be able to stop them,” Tang Hao said.

  “So what should we do? There are a lot of people in the Agency, but once the holidays are here, they’ve become uncontactable. I don’t think most of them would be able to make it even if I manage to contact them.”

  Tang Hao furrowed his brows. “How about this. I’ll try to contact Mao Mountain. I have quite a good relationship with them, and Mao Mountain is relatively close to Provincial City.”

  “Alright, I’ll leave this to them then. Qian Ji should be there enjoying his holidays too!” General Bai laughed.

  After the call ended, Tang Hao gave a call to Taoist Master Qian Ji.

  The call was picked up after a long time.

  “Heeeeeeey, who is it?”

  Over the phone, Taoist Master Qian Ji’s voice was lazy and dragged out. Then, he yelped in pain. “Ow ow ow! Lighter, please! Are you trying to kill me, Miss?”

  “Sorry!” A feminine voice was heard in the background.

  Tang Hao was speechless.

  ‘What is Taoist Master Qian Ji doing?’

  “It’s me!” Tang Hao said.

  Taoist Master Qian Ji was taken aback. “Oh, so it’s Lil Bro Tang! Happy Lunar New Year, riches and prosperity to all of us! Where are you now? Having fun somewhere?”

  “I’m not having fun!” Tang Hao said exasperatedly.

  “Hey, Lil Bro Tang, why are you so angry during Lunar New Year? Why, did you get dumped? That’s good news! I can introduce some hotties to you.”

  “That’s not good news! Wait… I’m not dumped!” Tang Hao was helpless.

  “So why are you so angry?”

  “I’m calling you because of serious business, Taoist Master. Do you remember the Miki Group that I asked you before?”

  “Oh, I remember!” Taoist Master Qian Ji said. Then, he screamed again. “Ow ow ow! Are you trying to murder me, Miss?”

  Then, chuckles and laughter could be heard in the background.

  “You’re too weak, First Senior Brother!”

  “Haha, that won’t do, First Senior Brother!”

  “Go away! Don’t laugh at my pain, you rascals!” Taoist Master Qian Ji cursed.

  ‘What the hell? What are these people doing? Did they go to a massage parlor in a group?’ Tang Hao rolled his eyes.

  “Miki Group is back in Huaxia. They’ve brought with them a bunch of ninja cultivators to break someone out of prison!”

  “What? A prison break?” Taoist Master Qian Ji immediately jumped. “These Dongying bastards are too brazen!”

  “What? The Dongying bastards are here?” The people around him started shouting indignantly.

  “They’re here to break someone out from prison!” Taoist Master Qian Ji shouted.

  “F*ck! These Dongying bastards dare to step into Huaxia again? They must have a death wish!”

  “F*ck these Dongying bastards!”

  The other Taoist masters were worked up.

  “Silence! Silence! I’m talking to Lil Bro Tang here!” Taoist Master Qian Ji reprimanded them. The noise around him died down.

  “There shouldn’t be as many of them this time. You don’t have to bring too many people with you, maybe about ten of the more powerful ones, and meet me at Provincial City. Then, send maybe another ten to Westridge.”

  “Understood!” Taoist Master Qian Ji replied instantly.

  “Enough of this massage, my Junior Brothers! Let’s go and kick some Dongying butt!” Taoist Master Qian Ji yelled.

  A loud cheer could be heard in the background.

  The masseuses were dumbfounded when they saw all that happen. They thought that they had been servicing a bunch of old lunatics.

  After the call, Tang Hao returned to Dragonrock Village, picked up Sis Xiangyi, and returned home.

  About three hours later, he arrived at Octagon Alley in Provincial City and met up with the group of Taoist masters.

  There were fifteen people in total,
and they were all familiar faces. They soon warmed up to each other after chatting for a bit.

  “Those Dongying bastards have gone overboard! I just want to spend my holidays in peace. We ought to teach them a lesson,” Taoist Master Qian Ji said angrily.

  “Right! Right! Kill ’em all!” The Taoist masters replied.

  Tang Hao thought for a while and looked at the sky. “How about this. We’ll go to the prison and transfer the person out. If a fight breaks out there, innocent people will be harmed.”

  “Good idea!” Taoist Master Qian Ji immediately agreed to it.

  “Ol’ Bai has already informed the prison authorities. We’ll just have to go over and pick the guy up.”

  Tang Hao drove his car and went to the prison in the countryside with the other Taoist masters.

  Security was tight in front of the prison. Several military trucks were parked there. General Bai’s people must have arrived first.

  Tang Hao and Taoist Master Qian Ji showed their identification documents. They were brought into the prison.

  After passing many security checkpoints, they arrived at the most interior section of the prison. They saw Makoto Miki in a cell.

  Makoto Miki had lost a lot of weight. His cheeks and eye sockets were sunken and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like a skeleton.

  Evidently, he had been suffering ever since he was captured.

  The historical grudge between Huaxia and Dongying was long and bitter. A criminal like him would not be treated well in a Huaxia prison.

  Tang Hao heard that Dongying had sent many official diplomatic requests to have Makoto Miki extradited, but they were all rejected.

  That must be why the Miki family would want to break him out of prison.
