Chapter 65 - Cang Lang Arrives

Qin Taoyuan was slapped by Ye Tianchen and was left stunned.

He could never have imagined that Ye Tianchen would dare to strike him.

Not to mention his status in the Capital City or the Qin family’s influence across China, even by the mere distinction of age, he was Ye Tianchen’s senior.

Disregarding Ye Tianchen for the moment, even Ye Tianchen’s father, Ye Hong, was someone Qin Taoyuan wouldn’t consider a threat, given that the Qin family’s power dwarfed that of the Ye family substantially.

It wasn’t just Qin Taoyuan who was stunned by Ye Tianchen’s slap.

The slap was so sudden that it quieted everyone down.

Even the onlookers like Lu Shengda, Lu Wang, and other such onlookers gasped in shock, standing still as carved wood.

Facing Ye Tianchen’s ruthless approach, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

“Ye Tianchen, you…” Qin Taoyuan was so furious that he felt like his lungs were about to explode, but he couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

“Stop yapping.

That slap was to punish your lack of respect for your elders,” Ye Tianchen coolly said, looking at Qin Taoyuan.

“Good, very good, excellent!

Director Lu, what are you waiting for?

Such a thug should be shot on the spot,” Qin Taoyuan shouted at Lu Shengda, his anger booming like thunder.

Lu Shengda, snapping out of his shock, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, he was truly at a loss about which side to take.

The Qin family’s power was immense, that went without saying.

Originally, he thought that with Qin Taoyuan present, Ye Tianchen would surely be subdued.

Little did he know that Ye Tianchen would dare to hit even Qin Taoyuan, completely fearless, regardless of status or background—he’d hit anyone who crossed him.

“Brother Taoyuan, this…” Lu Shengda looked at Ye Tianchen and suddenly realized that this young man was really not someone to provoke or underestimate.

“Lu Shengda, do you really not want to continue as the Director of the Kyoto Police Department?

If you don’t want the job then get lost!

It’s a piece of cake for my Qin family to support someone as the Director,” Qin Taoyuan said, even more infuriated upon seeing that Lu Shengda dared not act against Ye Tianchen.

“Someone, ar…arrest Ye Tianchen…”

“Director Lu, I’d advise you not to give that order.

It’s fine if a couple of bad cops die, but if all the cops you brought here today die, not only will you lose your position, you might even lose your life,” Ye Tianchen said smilingly to Lu Shengda.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Lu Shengda froze completely.

His body trembled as he recalled the day in the police station when Ye Tianchen killed those two corrupt subordinates right in front of him.

Ye Tianchen’s fierce and ruthless methods were vivid in his mind.

Regardless of Ye Tianchen’s real abilities, killing dozens of armed police officers was a risk Lu Shengda was not willing to take.

If such a major incident occurred, he knew there would be accountability, and as the Director of the Kyoto Police Department, he could not bear such responsibility.

Seeing that Lu Shengda was completely shaken by a single sentence from Ye Tianchen and dared not to act, Qin Taoyuan turned purple with rage.

Originally, he had thought that with Lu Shengda present, he would be obliged to obey him, but now he somewhat regretted not bringing the Qin family’s elite bodyguards to handle Ye Tianchen directly.

Even if it meant killing Ye Tianchen on the spot, no one would dare to object.

“Lu Shengda, it seems like you really don’t want to work as the Director of the Kyoto Police Department!” Qin Taoyuan glared at Lu Shengda as he spoke.

“Brother Taoyuan, we should really think this through long-term without any rash actions!” Lu Shengda whispered back.

“What is there to think about?

I’m ordering you to shoot Ye Tianchen now, any consequences will be handled by my Qin family,” Qin Taoyuan commanded arrogantly.

“Wow!

Your Qin family really has great influence, to be able to order around the Director of the Police Department.

Wanting to kill someone just like that, completely disregarding national laws—truly impressive,” Ye Tianchen mocked deliberately.

“Hmph, my Qin family has the power to kill anyone, and no one dares to say a word.

You and everyone in your Ye family are going to die,” Qin Taoyuan, completely enraged by Ye Tianchen, shouted loudly.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Qin Taoyuan and then at Lu Shengda, yawned, and finally said, “Leave, I’ve just had my meal and am about to drink some tea.

Your presence here is making me nauseous.”

“Ye Tianchen, don’t be too arrogant!

You’ve offended my Qin family; even if Ye Yuanshan personally comes to apologize, it’s likely not enough to settle this matter!”

“Who said anything about settling?

Did I say I wanted to settle with your Qin family?

I’ll visit the Qin family when I’m free.

You’re not worthy to talk to me; let the old man of the Qin family speak to me directly,” Ye Tianchen said, crossing his legs grandly.

This statement left everyone incredulous.

The Qin family was a top-tier family in the Capital City, primarily because the patriarch of the Qin family was still in power, almost a national-level leader.

Especially this time, he might even advance further.

By then, the Qin family would be untouchable.

Not even Ye Yuanshan would find it easy to meet the Qin family’s patriarch, yet Ye Tianchen treated the idea so casually, not giving any consideration at all, which stunned everyone.

“You…”

At that moment, an armed policeman quickly ran upstairs and whispered something into Lu Shengda’s ear, which shocked him so much that his already pale face was filled with immense shock.

He stared blankly at Ye Tianchen.

“Brother Taoyuan, Cang Lang has arrived, claiming he wants to take Ye Tianchen away,” Lu Shengda whispered into Qin Taoyuan’s ear. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Hmph, Cang Lang’s arrival is timely.

Ye Tianchen used to be his soldier; I want to ask him how he manages his men.”

Qin Taoyuan remained domineering, not even considering Cang Lang, who was the highest-ranking official of the Sky Dragon Team and Iron Hammer’s direct superior.

Having substantial power and authority, he was still disregarded by Qin Taoyuan, mainly because the Qin family’s power was massive, and they had grown accustomed to being overbearing over the years.

Seeing Qin Taoyuan storm down the stairs, Lu Shengda quickly instructed his police officers to send the unconscious Qin Heng to the hospital.

He then approached Ye Tianchen, squeezing out a smile, “Brother Ye, there seems to be some misunderstanding here; I had no choice.

General Cang Lang wants to see you, he is outside, shall we go?”

“Cang Lang wants to see me?

I’m not interested.

Please tell him I’m busy, drinking tea, and I don’t have time,” Ye Tianchen said offhandedly.

“This… General Cang Lang said it involves your father’s promotion, your sister’s education, and even the entire Ye family’s development…” Lu Shengda continued.

“This guy is really freaking annoying…”

As Ye Tianchen spoke, he also followed them downstairs, with only Lu Wang and others gaping at the sight of Ye Tianchen’s back.

They were beginning to understand; the Ye Tianchen who once was the laughingstock of Capital City had now become untouchable for them, daring to strike against the Qin family, refusing to meet General Cang Lang, and even calling Cang Lang annoying – perhaps only Ye Tianchen had such audacity.

Lu Shengda also hurriedly followed behind.

At first, he was definitely on the Qin family’s side, hoping to use the Qin family’s influence to rise through the ranks and thus naturally suppressing Ye Tianchen.

But now, Lu Shengda was confused about how powerful Ye Tianchen really was.

That day at the police station, Chen Sheng personally called to protect Ye Tianchen.

Now that Ye Tianchen had offended the Qin family and even dared to hit Qin Taoyuan, he was almost certainly doomed.

But then Cang Lang appeared.

Could it be that Ye Tianchen truly had an incredible ability?

When Ye Tianchen exited Beifeng Pavilion, he saw four military green off-road vehicles parked outside; Cang Lang was standing at the forefront, flanked by armed soldiers.

The dozens of police officers surrounding Beifeng Pavilion had already been frightened to stay aside.

Qin Taoyuan had already approached Cang Lang.

He knew Cang Lang; even if the two were not close, they recognized each other.

Cang Lang was a leader, a top official of the Sky Dragon Team, well-known across Capital City.

As for Qin Taoyuan, with the Qin family’s immense influence, they were a top-tier family in Capital City, equally well-known.

“General Cang, your arrival is timely.

Here’s a violent criminal.

Have him arrested and executed,” Qin Taoyuan said to Cang Lang with a smile.

Cang Lang glanced at Qin Taoyuan and then cast a sidelong glance at Ye Tianchen not far away.

He sternly said, “This matter is none of my business.

You should have reported to Lu Shengda and let him handle it.

I am here to take Ye Tianchen away.”

Qin Taoyuan frowned; he hadn’t expected Cang Lang to disregard his request.

Even though Cang Lang was a superior officer, he couldn’t outrank the influence of Mr.

Ye.

It wasn’t like Cang Lang to be impractical.

In essence, Qin Taoyuan’s words were a plea for help to eliminate Ye Tianchen, but Cang Lang’s response was clearly a refusal, even hinting at protection for Ye Tianchen.

“Brother Cang Lang, Ye Tianchen severely injured my son Qin Heng.

My Qin family will certainly not let this go easily.

If Brother Cang Lang could help with this, I would be grateful,” Qin Taoyuan said with an enticing smile.

“This is a matter for your Qin family.

I only know that I am here to take Ye Tianchen away.

You can settle any grievances afterward,” Cang Lang responded uncompromisingly.

“You…

Cang Lang, you should realize that siding with Ye Tianchen and offending my Qin family will have consequences.

Even if you’ve become a leader, my Qin family can still bring you down,” Qin Taoyuan threatened when sweet talking Cang Lang failed.

“Qin Taoyuan, mind your words.

Your Qin family hasn’t reached the point where it can do whatever it wants.

Also, I want to tell you that your son Qin Heng has done too many evil deeds.

Don’t force me to give an order to thoroughly investigate…” Cang Lang said with a slight anger.

Qin Taoyuan was so infuriated that he almost spat blood, glaring hatefully at Ye Tianchen.

He truly didn’t understand; ever since Ye Tianchen returned to the city, many things had changed, and it seemed as though all of Capital City revolved around Ye Tianchen.

Now, even General Cang Lang, a man who had entered the leadership, had personally come to see Ye Tianchen, leaving Qin Taoyuan puzzled about what kind of transformation this man had undergone.
