Qin Moyao immediately asked, "How does he want to help you?" She had watched the surveillance footage of the young man and Chen Yang, but without audio, she couldn't tell what they had discussed. However, Qin Moyao could tell that the young man was no ordinary character. She asked out of concern that the youth might do something illegal or violent.
Qin Moyao always remembered her duty as a police officer - to prevent crime.
Chen Yang let out a soft sigh before saying, "Captain Qin, you need to understand that you're not God. Don't feel guilty for not being able to save everyone."
Qin Moyao grew agitated and snapped, "Chen Yang, what exactly are you planning?"
Chen Yang looked at Qin Moyao, his expression calm as he replied, "I'm not planning anything. I just want to live a peaceful, blameless life. It's that simple. If I do anything, it will be because Yang Ling forced my hand. Captain Qin, you're a police officer, but I hope your law doesn't only apply to me. At this point, if you can't help me, shouldn't I be allowed to help myself?"
Qin Moyao was left speechless. After a moment, she said, "Chen Yang, I'm worried you'll end up in a situation you can't escape."
Chen Yang gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "If I do nothing, I'll be thrown in jail or killed by Yang Ling's assassins. That's the worst possible outcome. So no matter what I do, things can't get any worse than that."
Qin Moyao had no response.
In the end, she could only tacitly approve of Chen Yang's actions and stopped questioning him further, knowing she wouldn't get any answers. At the same time, she suddenly understood why Chen Yang had asked her to protect Lin Qingxue, Tang Qingqing, and Su Qing. It was because Chen Yang was about to make his move against Yang Ling.
Qin Moyao could only say, "I've sent Lin Qingxue and the others to my uncle's home in the provincial capital. It's very safe there, don't worry."
"Your uncle is...?" Chen Yang couldn't help but ask.
Qin Moyao replied, "My uncle is a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee."
Hearing this, Chen Yang let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't that a Provincial Party Standing Committee member's home was impregnable, but rather that Yang Ling wouldn't dare to cause trouble there.
If there were an assassination attempt at a Provincial Party Standing Committee member's home, it would cause a nationwide uproar. The case would be elevated to unprecedented levels. If it were traced back to Yang Ling, he would truly be beyond redemption.
The state apparatus was incredibly formidable.
Moreover, there were extremely capable operatives in the state's secret agencies.
The bottom line of the state was absolutely untouchable.
At six in the morning, Mu Jing met the young man in the black Zhongshan suit at her tea house.
She had rushed there immediately after receiving a phone call, having just gotten out of bed.
The pale light of dawn was filtering into the tea house's living room. The young man stood like an eternal ice sculpture, devoid of any emotion.
Mu Jing looked at the youth, feeling an indescribable sense of unease.
This young man was simply too inscrutable.
Yet this dark and terrifying youth claimed to be Chen Yang's little brother. Mu Jing couldn't help but reassess Chen Yang once again - just how many hidden cards did he have up his sleeve?
"What should I call you, young man?" Mu Jing asked.
"Ye Buyi," the youth replied flatly. He sat in the chair, his back ramrod straight, always in a state of readiness for combat.
Mu Jing remarked, "That's a good name."
A flicker of an indecipherable emotion passed through Ye Buyi's eyes, along with a barely perceptible hint of pride as he said, "My big brother gave it to me."
"Who's your big brother?" Mu Jing asked. As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized how foolish the question was - Ye Buyi's big brother was obviously Chen Yang.
Sure enough, Ye Buyi replied, "Chen Yang!"
Mu Jing was surprised. She was taken aback that Chen Yang, who seemed so carefree and irresponsible, could come up with such a meaningful name.
Ye Buyi continued, "My big brother sent me to gather some information from you."
Mu Jing immediately began explaining, "The situation is like this..."
She proceeded to recount the entire sequence of events and the predicament Chen Yang was facing. After finishing, she asked Ye Buyi, "What do you plan to do?"
Ye Buyi stood up and walked away without another word, completely ignoring Mu Jing.
Mu Jing couldn't help but smile wryly. She had always considered herself a woman with a strong presence. Usually, men wouldn't dare to breathe loudly in her presence, let alone disrespect her behind her back. But ever since meeting Chen Yang and now Ye Buyi, she wondered if she had lost her charm.
Curious about Ye Buyi, Mu Jing immediately got up. She decided to go to the detention center at the police station to ask Chen Yang about Ye Buyi's background.
At seven in the morning, under the bright sunlight spreading across the land, Mu Jing arrived at the police station in her Audi A6.
She went straight in to meet with Chen Yang. By now, everyone at the station knew that a special detainee named Chen Yang was being held there, and that Captain Qin was showing him special consideration. So they naturally allowed Mu Jing, a familiar face, to see him.
In the detention room, Chen Yang was practicing his Darimu Jue technique.
He sensed Mu Jing's arrival before she even entered.
Today, Mu Jing was wearing a deep red spaghetti strap top that revealed her delicate, snow-white collarbones. She looked both elegant and alluring.
Chen Yang's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Mu Jing.
"Sister Jing, you look beautiful today!" Chen Yang grinned and said, "It would be even better if you wore something with a lower neckline."
Mu Jing was left speechless and said, "I can't believe you still have the mood for this."
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Food and sex are human nature, it's instinct! If I saw a beautiful woman like you and had no reaction, that would be a tragedy for you!"
As Mu Jing entered, a waft of her perfume filled the air. She said, "Enough nonsense, tell me honestly, what's the deal with Ye Buyi?"
Chen Yang grinned, saying, "I knew you came for him. Come, come, sit down, let's talk."
He gestured for Mu Jing to sit on the bed, as it was the only place to sit in the room.
Mu Jing sat down, and in that instant, Chen Yang quickly stole a glance. From his higher vantage point, he finally caught a glimpse of that enticing cleavage through the neckline of her dress.
A expanse of snowy white, with deep valleys!
The sight left Chen Yang feeling parched.
Mu Jing noticed Chen Yang's little action and once again sighed, rubbing her forehead. This guy was truly something else.
"Want to touch them?" Mu Jing suddenly asked playfully.
Chen Yang's face immediately lit up, and he replied eagerly, "Yes, yes!"
"In your dreams!" Mu Jing glared at Chen Yang fiercely and said, "If you keep acting so indecently, see if I'll still help you."
Chen Yang chuckled but stopped his flirtatious behavior. He knew when to draw the line.
Mu Jing then said, "Now, can you tell me?"
Chen Yang didn't beat around the bush and said, "Little Ye grew up in the African jungle. His grandfather was a great man, but for some unknown reason, he was seriously injured and his health was never good. I met his grandfather by chance and would visit Little Ye and his grandfather whenever I could. Later, when his grandfather couldn't hold on any longer, he entrusted Little Ye to me on his deathbed. Little Ye has always seen me as his real big brother."
"Besides, Little Ye was also accompanied by a silver wolf king. Little Ye rarely interacted with people since childhood, having grown up witnessing bloody battles in the jungle. So, Little Ye is very different from normal people. Except for me, his grandfather, and the silver wolf king, Little Ye never smiles at anyone or pays attention to anyone. As for Little Ye's skills, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure. This guy's only talents are killing and escaping. If he were to fight me in a ring, I might have a chance. But if he wanted to kill me, I definitely wouldn't survive."
Mu Jing couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath. She said, "I had the same feeling. If he wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be able to escape."
"So what do you want him to do this time? Kill Yang Ling?" Mu Jing asked.
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Sister Jing, they say big breasts mean no brains, but yours aren't even that big!"
Mu Jing spat at Chen Yang, saying, "Are you asking for a beating?"
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "What's the point of killing Yang Ling? First, Yang Ling is in his own stronghold, it's not easy to kill him. Second, even if we killed Yang Ling, it wouldn't clear my name."
"Then what do you want...?" Mu Jing asked.
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. You'll understand in a few days," Chen Yang said mysteriously.
Seeing that Chen Yang refused to elaborate, Mu Jing didn't press further.
The day passed uneventfully.
At three in the morning, on the waters south of the Yangtze River.
The water's surface was dark and quiet, with a bright moon shining overhead.
The Yangtze River, already steeped in legends, now took on an additional air of mystery.
On a 10,000-ton cargo ship, lights blazed.
This cargo ship belonged to the Yang Group, specifically used for transporting refined diesel and gasoline.
However, in the ship's lower hold, there was a secret smuggling operation unknown to the public.
It was filled with cars obtained from the black market.
This was an all-in-one business - the cars would be refurbished and re-registered. The profits were astronomical.
However, this smuggling operation was just a drop in the ocean compared to the Yang Group's overall business. The Yang Group controlled the shipping rights for the waters south of the Yangtze River. All passing ships had to rely on the Yang Group and pay substantial protection fees.
If a ship didn't pay the required protection fee, its safety couldn't be guaranteed. There were still quite a few river pirates along the Yangtze. Moreover, if a ship didn't pay, the Yang Group itself would take action.
Once a ship paid, no pirates would dare to offend the Yang Group.
As a result, passing ships paid for their peace of mind.
At this moment, on the dark water's surface, a speedboat suddenly appeared, heading straight for the cargo ship.
The speedboat immediately caught the attention of the sailors on the cargo ship.
The speedboat quickly approached the cargo ship, whose hull towered ten meters above the water.
The speedboat crashed directly into the cargo ship with a loud bang, instantly erupting into a violent fireball.
Water sprayed dozens of meters into the air, and the cargo ship shook violently.
The person in charge on the ship was immediately alerted.
Fortunately, the cargo ship was of excellent quality, and the speedboat's explosion didn't cause any significant damage.
The person in charge on this ship was named Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun was also a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple, and his martial arts skills had reached the "Hua Jin" level, making him an absolute expert.
This cargo ship was quite important to the Yang Group.
That's why Yang Ling had assigned Zhang Kun to oversee it.
Additionally, six other Shaolin lay disciples accompanied Zhang Kun.
