Chapter 67 - 67 Simple Task
Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Simple Task
Seeing the shocked expression on the man surnamed Long, Yang Chen knew he had understood. He casually put the ring back into his shirt pocket. No one would believe that this symbol, which could drive the world crazy, lay quietly in a pocket of the man\'s pants he wore every day.
"Alright, don\'t show that expression anymore. I don\'t believe my \'Jiao Sha\' is made up of fools," Yang Chen said, patting the man\'s broad shoulder in a friendly manner.
The man shivered all over, only then did he come to his senses. Looking at Yang Chen\'s warm smile in front of him, he felt as if he was in the icy grip of a polar winter, recalling the deeds of this man... Unable to help it, cold sweat streamed down, his legs went weak, and he knelt down, even wanting to bury his head in the cement floor...
"Subordinate Long Zan Yi, pays respects to the King!" Long Zan Yi trembled devoutly.
Yang Chen raised an eyebrow. "So your name is Long Zan Yi, does that mean Long Zan Huang is your brother?"
"Exactly, respected King!" Long Zan Yi remained prostrate, respectfully answering.
Yang Chen sighed helplessly. "Get up. This is the Yan Xia Kingdom, not my kingdom. You don\'t need so much ceremony here."
Long Zan Yi, seeing that Yang Chen didn\'t seem to blame him, cautiously got up, retreated three steps, and stood up straight. The way he looked at Yang Chen had completely changed. In his tiger-like eyes, there was fervent admiration and worship!
He could actually see him?! The man his elder brother revered as a godlike existence, he actually appeared before his eyes?!
"Oh right," Yang Chen suddenly remembered something and said, "I don\'t like the title \'King\'. If you don\'t mind, it\'s better to call me by another name."
"Yes! Lord Pluto!" Long Zan Yi shouted proudly, as if even uttering this title was an incomparable honor.
Seeing that Long Zan Yi had understood his identity, Yang Chen didn\'t waste any more words. He asked directly, "Why did the Jiao Sha appear here? Although I haven\'t issued any prohibition against entering Yan Xia, your brother, Long Zan Huang, is known for being cautious. He wouldn\'t make such a low-level mistake casually."
Long Zan Yi respectfully replied, "Reporting, sir, our Jiao Sha\'s activities are only in the peripheral areas of some seas around Yan Xia Kingdom, mainly for transportation purposes, and it hasn\'t attracted much attention from the Yan Huang Iron Brigade. This time, we accepted Lin Kun\'s hire because the task he wanted to do had a small scope and low risk, so after considering it, we took on the job."
"Did he have enough money to hire you?" Yang Chen asked curiously.
"He reportedly sold off all his equity to obtain the funds," Long Zan Yi answered. "Just enough to complete such a simple task."
Just as he finished saying "simple task," Long Zan Yi suddenly felt something was amiss. How could this task be simple?! The person they were dealing with was the man right in front of them!
He wanted to correct himself immediately, but Long Zan Yi didn\'t know how to phrase it, so he ended up awkwardly silent, wearing a embarrassed expression.
Yang Chen evidently didn\'t mind. He thought to himself that Lin Kun must have sold off the only bit of Jade Lily International shares he had to afford mercenaries. He found it somewhat amusing that Lin Kun had hired his own subordinates to deal with him. Quite a blunder. "Long Zan Yi, take your men and leave. I\'ll handle this matter," Yang Chen said.
"Sir, do you need us to kill Lin Kun? If you personally handle it, it will only dirty your hands," Long Zan Yi\'s eyes gleamed with fierceness. He already wanted to beat Lin Kun into a hornet\'s nest! This foolish old man had nearly made him a laughingstock in the mercenary world! Sending him to meet the reaper? Wasn\'t that a joke? Hell was his senior\'s playground!
Yang Chen shook his head. "Go tie up Lin Kun, knock him out, throw him in a corner, and then you can leave. I\'ll take care of the rest. The longer you stay here, the more likely it is to provoke dissatisfaction from the Yan Huang Iron Brigade."
"Yes, sir!"
Long Zan Yi didn\'t say anything more. Obedience was the duty of a soldier, especially to the highest command.
Lin Kun, who was pacing anxiously on the spot, was extremely annoyed. These damn soldiers were spending his money and pointing guns at their employer\'s head. If he didn\'t need them, and if he couldn\'t beat them, he would have loved to slash them a few times!
Seeing Long Zan Yi return with an expressionless face, then suddenly putting on an eager smile, Lin Kun asked, "Mr. Long! Did you catch that damned guy?!"
Without answering, Long Zan Yi exchanged a few words with his two closest subordinates in Vietnamese. The two subordinates immediately nodded solemnly and rushed forward. In just a few moves, they tied Lin Kun up with a rope, rendering him completely helpless. After binding him like a dumpling, they threw him directly to the ground.
"Your foolishness should have sent you to hell long ago." Long Zan Yi stepped forward, uttered these words in English with a fierce tone, then kicked Lin Kun unconscious.
After the matter was settled, Long Zan Yi whistled, and in an instant, a dozen heavily armed mercenaries rushed over from all directions of the warehouse, saluting neatly.
After issuing a command, Long Zan Yi led the group in a chant, but only they knew what it meant.
Following this, under the puzzled gazes of Lin Ruoxi and Mo Qianni, the group of men who had kidnapped them swiftly left the warehouse, disappearing in an instant.
Just as the two women were perplexed, Yang Chen, appearing as nonchalant as ever, strolled over with a slightly smug smile on his lips.
"Yang Chen, what\'s going on here?!" Mo Qianni couldn\'t help but ask. Just moments ago, everything seemed so hopeless, and now suddenly everything had turned around?!
"I say, Miss Mo, let me help you untie the ropes first before we talk slowly. You might not be afraid of pain, but I\'m worried my obedient Ruoxi might get hurt from being tied up," Yang Chen said, looking at Lin Ruoxi with a tender expression as he skillfully unraveled the complex knots.
Lin Ruoxi glanced at him meaningfully and said lightly, "You untied the ropes even faster than they tied him up."
Yang Chen was taken aback, then awkwardly chuckled, thinking to himself, of course, that\'s my specialty...
After the two women freed themselves from their bonds and slowly stood up, they looked at Yang Chen with strange gazes. After all, everything that had just happened was too miraculous. How did this man do it?
"I know you both have many questions, but please, let\'s go outside and get in the car. I\'ll take you back to the hospital first, and then I\'ll explain everything," Yang Chen said.
"What about him..." Lin Ruoxi bit her cherry lips, glancing at the unconscious Lin Kun on the ground.
Yang Chen\'s expression turned serious. "Are you sure you still want to hold onto sympathy?"
Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes in pain, then reopened them with a hint of resolute indifference, shaking her head. "Let\'s go."
