“How pitiful!”
The Hua family descendants felt lucky, seeing the pathetic state of the Hong family descendants.
Soon, another group of people arrived.
Seeing the situation, they were so scared that they turned around and wanted to run away.
“Don’t run, Ol’ Qi! We’ve weakened the villain!”
“If you can kill the villain, your Qi family will be heroes!” The injured people shouted.
The Qi family members stopped in their tracks, and their eyes lit up.
‘Hero? That’s a good title!’
They turned around again.
“Hey, villain! Why don’t you surrender obediently?” Old Master Qi shouted and attacked.
Soon, the people from the Qi family were all sprawled on the ground.
“You two idiots, didn’t you say that he’s weakened?” Old Master Qi was furious.
“Don’t worry. There’s still Ol’ Ning and Ol’ Mu! When they come, we’ll definitely kill this villain.”
Very soon, the Ning family arrived. They could not resist the temptation of the “Hero” title and took out their weapons.
After a brief commotion, they were all sprawled on the ground.
The four patriarchs of the families lay together and looked at each other. Their heads were swollen like a pig. They all withdrew their gazes and silently looked at the sky with tearful eyes.
‘How miserable!’
After living for so long, it was the first time that they were reduced to such a pathetic state.
They silently made up their minds. If they were somehow saved, they would completely forget what had happened today and make sure that their descendants do not speak of the incident.
After a while, a fleet of helicopters came instead of cars.
Whir! Whir! Whir!
The sound of the propellers came from the night sky and quickly approached.
In the sky, several military helicopters appeared. They swooped down like falcons.
Chapter 656 - Just A Misunderstanding
General Bai was sitting in one of the military helicopters.
His eyelid was twitching violently.
He was puzzled. Why would his eyelid be twitching suddenly?
As the saying went, the left eyelid twitched for wealth, while the right eyelid twitched for disaster. Now that his right eye was twitching so violently, did that mean there was a disaster or big trouble?
As the helicopter neared the Liu family mansion, he leaned out and looked ahead.
Many cars were blocking the way; several other families had already arrived. He did not see any movement there, which meant that they had dealt with the incident.
General Bai immediately heaved a sigh of relief and put on a relaxed smile.
If the incident had been dealt with, he could go over and clean up the mess. If he was fast, he might even be able to nap for a while before work started!
He became happier when he thought of that.
However, he soon heard low cries coming from the front of the house.
General Bai was startled. He wondered if anything went wrong. At that moment, he stuck his head out again and looked in that direction with his binoculars.
After taking a closer look, he was dumbfounded.
The front yard was filled with people. All of them were badly battered and looked miserable. From their clothes, he could tell that they were from the great cultivation families in the Capital.
‘The great families that came to provide reinforcements had all failed?
‘Oh my god! How is that possible? Who’s exactly behind this? Who is this freak?’
General Bai was shocked.
Following that, his gaze swept back and forth the scene and saw the only figure standing there.
General Bai furrowed his brows when he saw that figure.
‘Why does that figure look so familiar? I think I’ve seen it somewhere before!’
When that figure turned around, General Bai’s eyes suddenly widened. Then, his facial muscles
twitched, and he almost cursed out loud.
‘F*ck! Isn’t that Comrade Tang Hao?
‘Sigh! What’s up with the little troublemaker this time? He’s even raising a fuss in the Capital!’
General Bai wailed in his heart. His expression was extremely unpleasant.
“Those helicopters are from the Agency!”
“Haha! We’re saved!”
The people sprawled on the ground were ecstatic.
The family patriarchs were even more excited. They were finally saved. They could take revenge now. With the Agency in charge, the villain would not get away!
They got up excitedly and tidied up their appearances, trying their best to make themselves look less pathetic.
“Haha! You’re finished, villain!”
The patriarchs yelled.
Tang Hao turned around and rolled his eyes at them.
Soon, the helicopter arrived in front of them and many figures jumped down. Some of them were wearing Taoist robes, while some were wearing casual clothes and suits.
“Quick, quick! Kill that villain!”
The patriarchs shouted anxiously.
The people from the Agency stood on the spot and did not make a sound. They wore strange expressions on their faces.
‘F*ck! Asking us to go? We don’t want to be beaten up and sprawled on the ground!’
The patriarchs were all stunned when they saw that the people from the Agency did not move.
“Hey! Why aren’t you doing anything? Can’t you see that villain standing over there?”
Those people immediately shifted their gaze, looking at everything else except the patriarchs.
“Ahem!”
At that moment, General Bai coughed lightly and walked over. “This is… a misunderstanding! This comrade is actually someone from the Agency!”
After saying that, he walked quickly to Tang Hao and pulled him to the side. He said in a low voice, “F*ck me, Comrade Tang Hao, what did you do this time?
“Don’t you know that it’s the weekend today? I don’t usually get a day off, but you’ve ruined it.” General Bai rambled on. His tone was somewhat resentful.
Tang Hao was speechless.
“You’ve gone overboard this time. What grudge do you have with the Liu family? Don’t you know that the Liu family has connections with the Higher-Ups?
“What a sorry sight! What on Earth did you do?”
General Bai turned his head and looked at the injured people. His expression immediately became fearful.
“I only crippled a few people…” Tang Hao said.
“How many is a few?”
“About forty to fifty!”
“Pfft!”
General Bai almost did a spit take
‘Forty to fifty? That’s about as many cultivators as the family has, right? Did he just cripple the entire family?’
Cold sweat dripped down General Bai’s forehead when he thought of the enormity of the matter.
“Then… did… did you kill anyone?”
“Yes!”
“How many?”
“One!”
“Oh! That’s still alright. What’s his name?”
“Liu Yulong!”
General Bai immediately gasped.
‘Isn’t Liu Yulong the eldest grandson of the Liu family?’
“This… Can be very serious!” General Bai’s expression turned grave.
At that moment, everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
‘That villain is actually from the Agency?
‘What kind of joke is that?’
The patriarchs clutched their chests and nearly popped a vein.
‘He’s one of our own? Did we just get beaten up by one of our own? Dammit, that means there’s no chance for revenge!’
“What the hell is going on?”
They were all extremely frustrated. Then, they were puzzled. When did the Agency recruit such a freak?<
br />
“Oh! It’s him!”
Old Master Hua seemed to have remembered something and exclaimed in surprise.
“Who?”
“Haven’t you heard that our Huaxia has a new Perfected Person? I heard that he’s from Mao Mountain,” Old Master Hua said.
The other patriarchs gasped in stunned surprise.
They heard about the rumors, but the details were kept under wraps. They had only heard that such a person existed, but they did not know who he might be.
“Damn, so he’s an old freak from Mao Mountain!”
“If I had known that, I wouldn’t have tried to fight him!”
The old men became more and more frustrated.
“Mao Mountain?”
Liu Yunlai stumbled to his feet, his expression becoming somewhat vicious. He roared, “So what if it’s Mao Mountain? Does it mean that you can kill the innocent, just because he’s from Mao Mountain?
“Doesn’t Mao Mountain pride themselves on being righteous? Today, you have crippled my entire family and indiscriminately killed my grandson. Do you deserve your reputation?
“All you Mao Mountain people are all wicked and evil!”
Tang Hao’s expression turned cold as he shouted, “Shut up!”
He could tolerate others insulting him, but he could not tolerate others insulting Mao Mountain. The Taoist masters of Mao Mountain were all righteous men who strived to uphold justice.
Mao Mountain had sacrificed too much for the sake of Huaxia.
“Hah, don’t you have a retort? Did I speak the truth?” Liu Yunlai laughed viciously.
Tang Hao snorted coldly. He raised his hand, and sent out a blast of strong wind, causing Liu Yunlai to fly backward and crash heavily onto the ground.
“First of all, I’m not from Mao Mountain, but I won’t allow you to insult Mao Mountain either. Second, what indiscriminate killing? Don’t you know what your grandson did?
“I’ve never met him before, but because of a small grudge, he went to Westridge and attacked my closest relation. If I wasn’t prepared, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
“I’m already being merciful for killing only him!”
Tang Hao reprimanded coldly.
In an instant, the people who were originally indignant all fell silent.
‘So that’s how it was! Killing a cultivator’s family was indeed a big taboo!’
The other patriarchs originally wanted to support the Liu family, but at that moment, they all tightly shut their mouths.
Chapter 657 - Welcome Home
“Nonsense, how could Yulong do such a thing! You’ve already said that you’ve never met before, so how could there be a grudge between the two of you? It’s definitely your fault! He’s innocent.
“Now that he’s dead, you can say whatever you want! How detestable!” Liu Yunlai said sternly.
“Whether he’s innocent or not, we’ll know once we investigate!” Tang Hao said coldly.
“Alright! Even if Yulong is in the wrong, does he deserve to die? You even crippled our entire clan. You are our senior, so why must you bully us juniors?” Liu Yunlai reprimanded.
“That’s right!”
The other patriarchs agreed. They were friends with the Liu family, and they could not bear to see the Liu family crippled just like that.
Hearing that, General Bai’s expression became awkward.
‘Senior?
‘These people are too naïve. If they knew the truth, they would definitely pop a vein!’
However, he did not reveal the truth, fearing that it would give them too much of a shock.
“Well… let’s not talk about it anymore. We’ll leave the verdict to the Higher-Ups,” General Bai waved his hand and said.
The incident was quite serious, and he did not have the right to make a decision.
He took out his phone and made a call, reporting the situation to the Higher-Ups.
Many people in the Capital were woken from their sleep.
To people of their rank, the existence of cultivators was not a secret. Similarly, they knew about the existence of the six great cultivator families.
“The entire Liu family has been crippled, and Liu Yulong is dead?”
This news was quite shocking.
Many people groaned when they found out who was behind it.
‘How troublesome!’ That was what everyone thought.
The aggrieved party was the Liu family, who had an extensive human network in the Capital. The other party was a rare talent who had made outstanding contributions to the country.
“This is quite difficult!”
“Indeed… to cripple the entire family, that kid is quite ruthless!”
“I don’t think so. If he were really ruthless, the entire Liu family would have been killed. This kid is still quite rational to leave everyone else alive!”
“That’s true! If it’s that difficult to make a decision, why don’t we do it this way? We’ll first launch a thorough investigation. It’s not too late to make a verdict!”
“That decides it!”
Soon, the order was passed down.
“The Higher-Ups said to investigate first before making a decision. Are you convinced?” General Bai took a phone call, turned around, and announced to everyone.
“Investigate? Wouldn’t your Agency be investigating one of your own?” Liu Yunlai was unconvinced.
“The Higher-Ups will send their people. You don’t have to worry!” General Bai glanced at him and spoke somewhat impolitely.
Then, he said to Tang Hao, “Let’s return to the Agency. The people will be here in a while.”
Tang Hao boarded the helicopter and saw a group of cars arriving on the road outside. Obviously, they were members of the Mu family.
The Mu family residence was the farthest away from here, so they were the last to arrive.
When the Mu family members got off the car and saw the situation, they were all dumbfounded.
Half an hour later, Tang Hao sat in a room in the Agency. Two men in suits sat opposite him. They were the investigators sent by the Higher-Ups.
“Major General Tang, please tell us what happened. We will record all your statements. Don’t worry. We will definitely investigate this without showing favor to anyone,” a man said.
Tang Hao sat there with an indifferent expression.
He was not worried at all. He believed that he was in the right, and he had not endangered the lives of the innocent. The Higher-Ups would not be able to touch him.
Immediately, he told them what happened.
The two men picked up pens from time to time and wrote on their notebooks.
“Thank you for your cooperation, Major General Tang. Our people have already set off for Province Z. Let’s see, it’s only 3:15 in the morning now. We should reach a decision by the afternoon.”
At the end of the investigation, the two men stood up, shook hands with Tang Hao, and left the room.
Tang Hao’s phone was taken away and turned off, and he was confined to the room. He had nothing to do, so he lay down on the couch and fell asleep.
The results of the investigation were out by three o’clock in the afternoon.
Tang Hao’s testimony was corroborated.
After the findings were reported to the Higher-Ups, they delivered their verdict.
General Bai opened the door and brought Tang Hao out. He was very enthusiastic.
“Haha! Everything’s fine now, Comrade Tang Hao. Nothing will happen to you! Let’s go!
“Sigh! The Higher-Ups were quite vexed. They’ve decided to let it slide, considering that you’ve contributed a lot to the country. Remember, before you do anything rash, let me know first.”
Tang Hao nodded and grunted a reply.
“Look, it’s already half-past four. Let’s go and have dinner! What’s the most famous dish in the Capital? Roast duck! Let’s go, I’ll bring you to eat roast duck!
“You don’t have to worry about t
he Liu family anymore. With someone watching over them, they won’t be causing you any trouble. You shouldn’t go and look for trouble with them either.”
General Bai and Tang Hao went to a roast duck restaurant. At about seven o’clock in the evening, Tang Hao boarded a plane and flew back to Provincial City.
As soon as he landed, he immediately rushed back to Westridge.
It was already past eleven o’clock when he reached home.
The lights in the house were still on.
When he opened the door, he saw a figure leaning on the living room couch.
She woke up when she heard the door open. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Tang Hao groggily.
“You’re back, Lil Tang!”
She yawned, stretched, and stood up.
Tang Hao’s heart warmed up, and he smiled. “Mm! I’m back!”
She rubbed her eyes, walked over barefoot, and hugged Tang Hao tightly for a while.
“Mm! This feeling is the best!” She pressed her face against Tang Hao’s chest and smiled. “Don’t move! Let me hug you properly.”
As she spoke, she tightened her hug.
The atmosphere was quite intimate.
Chapter 658 - : Intensive Training
He opened his eyes and looked at the clock. It was already past ten o’clock.
The sun was bright outside.
The delicate figure in his arms was sleeping soundly.
Tang Hao did not want to wake her up, so he closed his eyes again. He rested for a while before her eyelids fluttered and opened.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window.
“Wow! Nice weather!” She exclaimed.
Then, she turned her head and looked at Tang Hao.
“Stop pretending. I know you’re awake.” As she said that, she giggled, leaned over, and planted a kiss on Tang Hao’s cheek.
When Tang Hao opened his eyes, he saw a pleasant and charming face.
Her straight black hair fell over her shoulders and tickled his cheek.
Seeing her smile, Tang Hao said, “What are you smiling about?”
“Nothing! I feel like smiling when I see you!” She pursed her lips and laughed.
Tang Hao grabbed her waist and said, “Are you still going to the factory in the afternoon?”
