Chen Yang had his back against the wall, unable to use his agile movements.
Lei Bao and Xue Dong were aware of this. They had studied the terrain before coming here.
Suddenly, sparks flashed in the darkness, followed by a sharp gunshot.
The gunshot was abrupt and unbelievable.
Xue Dong fell like a wounded bird.
Blood gushed from his forehead; he was shot dead instantly.
The shot was fired by Chen Yang. He had anticipated that Yang Ling's move this time would be extraordinary, so he had stolen a gun. Chen Yang's marksmanship was unparalleled.
At such a close range, Xue Dong, unprepared, stood no chance, even as a master.
Chen Yang didn't get the chance to fire a second shot because Lei Bao had already charged at him.
Faced with Lei Bao's fierce punches, Chen Yang smirked and suddenly retracted his neck.
It was like a turtle retracting its head.
Lei Bao's punch missed.
Chen Yang pushed his hands outward, breaking the handcuffs, and stepped forward, launching his Rolling Thunder Fist.
The wind from the punch roared like thunder!
Its power was terrifying!
Rolling Thunder Fist was Chen Yang's specialty, and its power was unmatched.
Despite Lei Bao's formidable strength, he couldn't withstand Chen Yang's punch.
Chen Yang had been practicing the Great Sun and Moon Technique, which strengthened and cleansed his body.
His inner strength was the Heavenly Xuan Energy, powerful and spiraling like a ten-thousand-volt current.
The Great Sun and Moon Technique, the Heavenly Xuan Energy, and the Lingyang Movement Technique were Chen Yang's three major skills, keeping him alive.
The Rolling Thunder Fist, infused with Heavenly Xuan Energy, was unparalleled in its ferocity.
Lei Bao quickly stepped back, dodging Chen Yang's Rolling Thunder Fist. Without waiting for the punch to miss, Chen Yang lunged forward, displaying his Lingyang Movement Technique.
Lei Bao only saw a flash before another fierce gust of wind attacked.
Another Rolling Thunder Fist!
Lei Bao couldn't dodge this time. He had to gather his energy in his dantian, let out a roar, and counter with his own powerful punch.
With a bang, their fists collided. Chen Yang's Heavenly Xuan Energy instantly broke through Lei Bao's strength, sending spiraling energy into Lei Bao's fist, causing a paralyzing sensation throughout his body.
Lei Bao's body shook violently. It was like a rooster pecking a centipede; the violent struggle would be resolved with a shake.
Lei Bao neutralized Chen Yang's spiraling energy, then suddenly squatted, his arms like thick steel cables, trying to bear-hug Chen Yang.
If he succeeded, he would crush Chen Yang's waist.
Chen Yang was slightly surprised by Lei Bao's skill. This man was quick and strong. Chen Yang calmly sank his hands, flipped them outward, and at the moment Lei Bao came to hug him, his hands turned into sharp dragon claws, gripping Lei Bao's arms.
The grip was like thorny brambles, causing Lei Bao immense pain.
Lei Bao was alarmed by Chen Yang's prowess. This man was covered in thorns, his fighting style divine, each move more troubling than the last. Lei Bao dared not hug him, so he planted his hands on the ground and swung a fierce leg sweep.
Sweeping through the army like a hurricane!
Lei Bao knew he couldn't kill Chen Yang today. His only thought was to escape.
As Lei Bao's leg swept towards him, Chen Yang didn't dodge but kicked directly.
With a bang, Lei Bao's leg bone fractured, and he screamed in pain.
Chen Yang swiftly struck with a Heavenly Xuan Finger, hitting Lei Bao's Shaoyang meridian. This sealed Lei Bao's blood flow. If he exerted force, his blood vessels would burst.
The Heavenly Xuan Pointing was Chen Yang's skill.
Pointing did not make one immobile; it sealed the blood flow. After sealing, one could walk and talk but couldn't exert force. Force required the flow of blood, and the blocked channel would burst under strain.
At this moment, the detention center's lights came back on.
The police quickly arrived and were stunned by the scene.
Chen Yang sat leisurely, appearing relaxed.
Qin Moya, intending to stop Han Yumei's body from being cremated, received a call on the way saying the body was already cremated. She was furious and scolded the officer who didn't know the cremation was arranged through bribes.
Simultaneously, Qin Moya received a call from the police station about the disturbance in the detention room.
Upon arriving, she first saw Xue Dong's body while Lei Bao was sent to the hospital.
Qin Moya took Chen Yang to the interrogation room again.
"You stole my gun?" she questioned.
Chen Yang smiled, "I borrowed it."
"You can use a gun?" she asked sternly, "Who are you? Your background isn't clean, is it?"
Chen Yang looked at her and said, "You can check my background. At least in this country, I've never committed a crime. I was a mercenary abroad, but you can't charge me for that, right?"
Qin Moya couldn't do anything about his past abroad and had no evidence. She asked, "How did you know someone was coming to kill you?"
Chen Yang replied, "Simple. Yang Ling didn't want me imprisoned; he wanted me dead. Han Yumei's case wouldn't hold, so he cremated her body and sent two men to kill me. Then, they'd put my body in a police car to fake my escape and an accident. That way, he kills me and covers everything up. You should investigate Yang Ling, not me."
Qin Moya realized Chen Yang was no ordinary thug; he was smart. But investigating Yang Ling was unrealistic. There was no direct link, only Chen Yang's word. Plus, Yang Ling had powerful connections.
Qin Moya then received a call from the hospital; Lei Bao was rescued and missing.
She was frustrated, as questioning Lei Bao could have linked to Yang Ling. Now, it was impossible.
Qin Moya pondered.
Chen Yang watched her, admiring her in her police uniform, looking heroic and charming, especially when thinking seriously.
"Even if I believe you didn't kill Han Yumei," she said, "her body is cremated, and her family blames you. The autopsy report is against you. What do you suggest I do?"
Chen Yang knew the aftermath was tricky. If Han Yumei's family blamed him, with no body and an autopsy report, it was hard to win in court. He was in a difficult situation.
Although Xue Dong's body could be evidence, it was not strong enough in court. Yang Ling's influence could ensure a guilty verdict.
Though Qin Moya believed him, she had to follow the law and couldn't release him.
Chen Yang was speechless.
"Why are you in Binhai City?" she asked. As a police officer, she knew the killers targeting Chen Yang were extraordinary, but he defeated them, proving his skills.
Chen Yang knew he needed Qin Moya's help, so he honestly explained his connection to Lin Nan and Lin Qingxue and Lin Nan's death.
"You came back to protect his sister?" Qin Moya's perception of Chen Yang changed.
Qin Moya, being romantic and idealistic, was moved by Chen Yang's story.
She felt such people only existed in legends.
"Lin Qingxue doesn't know about Lin Nan's death. Don't tell her," Chen Yang said. "I've been working as a security guard at her company. I wouldn't have intervened if not for this incident. I thought I could stay low, but trouble found me."
Qin Moya took a deep breath, "I won't tell her. But Yang Ling might try again."
Chen Yang said, "I'll take it one step at a time." He was angry at Yang Ling's relentless attempts to kill him. He wouldn't tell Qin Moya his plans, but he was ready to fight back.
Qin Moya said, "I sympathize with you and want to help, but I can't release you now. I hope you understand."
Chen Yang nodded, "I'm grateful you believe me."
Qin Moya said, "I'll try to find evidence to clear your name."
Chen Yang was touched, "Thank you."
Qin Moya then had Chen Yang return to the cleaned detention room with a new door.
Xue Dong's body was taken to the morgue for autopsy. The procedures were swift. With Qin Moya's help, Chen Yang had no trouble proving self-defense in Xue Dong's death.
The night was quiet.
Chen Yang lay in the detention room, unfazed by the earlier bloodshed.
Su Qing, Mu Jing, and Lin Qingxue were unaware of the night's events.
