Jiang Wuming had killed Sean, a four-stage Three-star War God, in the genius group competition of the Global Martial Arts Congress, and then wreaked havoc in the Loulan battlefield, helping the vanguard annihilation of one hundred and fifty extraterrestrial enemies.
All attendees were aware of these facts.
According to the pattern of extraterrestrial enemy arrivals, large-scale troops would not appear at the beginning, and their strength would be limited.
In such a scenario, if Jiang Wuming were in Su City now, assisting the Eastern Territory Army, it would be a stroke of good fortune for the Eastern Territory Army and even the entire Dragon Country!
Qin Yuanzheng had Jiang Wuming's phone number. Upon hearing Wu Yong's reminder, he immediately took out his phone and contacted Jiang Wuming in front of everyone.
“Beep…”
Qin Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the call connect.
“Hello, Grandpa Qin.”
Soon, Jiang Wuming’s voice came from the earpiece.
“Wuming, where are you?” Qin Yuanzheng asked.
“Grandpa Qin, I just got off the plane and am preparing to take the high-speed train back to Su City. What’s wrong?”
Jiang Wuming first answered, then realized that Qin Yuanzheng must have something important to ask him, so he took the initiative to inquire.
Qin Yuanzheng did not answer but asked again, “Wuming, how long will it take you to reach Su City?”
“I’ve already entered the high-speed train station. I’ll be on the train in ten minutes and will arrive at Su City North Station in forty minutes.”
Jiang Wuming replied truthfully.
Donghai Airport was one of the national comprehensive hubs, integrating the airport, high-speed train station, and subway station, making travel very convenient.
“Wuming, extraterrestrial enemies have descended at Hanshan Temple in Su City…”
Upon learning that Jiang Wuming would arrive at Su City North Station in forty minutes, Qin Yuanzheng immediately and concisely explained the situation to Jiang Wuming and then pleaded, “Wuming, could you please assist the Jiangnan Branch of the Military Department in resisting the extraterrestrial enemies?”
“Grandpa Qin, I will contact Minister Yan Jun the moment I arrive at Su City North Station!”
Jiang Wuming indirectly gave his answer, which was very direct – he was willing to help the Eastern Territory Army!
From a public perspective, Jiang Wuming was well aware that Hanshan Temple was located in Su City proper. Once extraterrestrial enemies descended, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Su City!
From a private perspective, his family was also in Su City!
Moreover, both Yan Jun and Qin Yuanzheng had previously helped Jiang Wuming.
When Jiang Wuming returned to the Dragon Country and dealt with the Zheng family, Yan Jun personally handled the situation and ultimately chose to stand by him.
Later, after Jiang Wuming arrived in Su City, Yan Jun had secretly taken care of him multiple times, especially regarding the protection of Su Shiyun.
The Qin family had also firmly stood by Jiang Wuming, and had even backed the Su family for Jiang Wuming’s sake, explicitly promising to protect the Su family!
Furthermore, Qin Yuanzheng was Qin Xiaozhi’s grandfather!
“Wuming, thank you!”
Qin Yuanzheng breathed a long sigh of relief. Due to the urgency of the situation, he did not converse further with Jiang Wuming and ended the call.
Qi Wufu, seeing Qin Yuanzheng put down his phone through the video feed, immediately asked, “Yuanzheng, what did Wuming say?”
“Marshal, Wuming is currently at the high-speed train station in Donghai Airport. He will take the high-speed train back to Su City in ten minutes and can arrive at Su City North High-Speed Rail Station in forty minutes. I have requested his assistance for the Jiangnan Branch of the Military Department, and he has agreed,” Qin Yuanzheng reported quickly.
“Forty minutes!”
Qi Wufu pondered for a moment and said, “Yuanzheng, since Wuming can reach Su City before you, you should not go. Remain here to command the Army Headquarters and coordinate the overall situation, dispatching troops according to the circumstances on the ground.”
“Yes, Marshal!”
Qin Yuanzheng raised no objection.
On one hand, he knew Jiang Wuming’s true combat strength – he could kill a six-stage Three-star War God. Even if there was still a gap, it would not be too large.
In this case, if Jiang Wuming could not kill the enemy, it would be difficult for him to do so as well.
On the other hand, he was currently at the Army Headquarters, more than two hundred kilometers away from Su City. Unless he took a helicopter, he could not arrive in Su City earlier than Jiang Wuming.
None of the major army headquarters were equipped with helicopters. Instead, provincial branches, for the convenience of carrying out missions, were equipped with helicopters.
Earlier, Yan Jun had already taken people to Su City by helicopter.
For Qin Yuanzheng to take a helicopter, he would have to borrow one from the military or police, which would cause a significant delay.
As Qin Yuanzheng finished speaking, everyone fell silent again, silently praying in their hearts that the extraterrestrial enemies would descend after Jiang Wuming arrived at Hanshan Temple, thus preventing any danger.
On the other side, after ending the call with Qin Yuanzheng, Jiang Wuming intended to call Dongfang Xiaoyao to remind her about the extraterrestrial enemies. However, he changed his mind and gave up.
Because, according to the current situation, the extraterrestrial enemies had not yet descended, so notifying Dongfang Xiaoyao to take Su Shiyun and the others away would be meaningless.
At this moment, Jiang Wuming was unaware that Dongfang Xiaoyao and Su Shiyun were at Hanshan Temple.
Although Dongfang Xiaoyao had sensed a strange fluctuation while opening the car door earlier, the fluctuation quickly disappeared.
Thus, she accompanied Su Shiyun towards Hanshan Temple.
As the two were about to reach the entrance of Hanshan Temple, Su Shiyun suddenly remembered something and asked, “Xiaoyao, you paused for a few seconds when opening the car door earlier, was there a problem?”
Dongfang Xiaoyao was carefully sensing everything around her while vigilantly scanning the surroundings. Hearing Su Shiyun’s question, she was about to reply when she saw tourists running out of the temple like startled deer.
Not only Dongfang Xiaoyao but also Su Shiyun noticed the chaos in the temple.
“Ah!”
“Run!”
Inside Hanshan Temple, the tourists shouted in panic as they ran, turning the entire temple into a mess.
“Excuse me, what happened?”
Su Shiyun asked a staff member at the entrance with some confusion.
“The temple just announced that a dangerous criminal had infiltrated the premises, and all tourists were ordered to evacuate immediately!”
The staff member replied in a panic, both answering Su Shiyun and informing other tourists at the entrance.
As he finished speaking, he also left his post to leave the area.
Because according to the temple’s notice, not only tourists but also staff were required to leave the temple.
Dangerous criminal?
Upon hearing the staff member’s words in surprise, Su Shiyun and the other tourists were stunned.
“Sister Shiyun, something is wrong here, let’s leave immediately!”
At this moment, Dongfang Xiaoyao immediately grabbed Su Shiyun’s arm and said.
Although she did not sense a powerful martial artist or criminal, she had previously sensed strange energy fluctuations and, seeing the panicked scene in Hanshan Temple, realized that something big was about to happen.
“Okay… Okay.”
Su Shiyun nodded subconsciously and followed Dongfang Xiaoyao.
This was because when Jiang Wuming had asked Dongfang Xiaoyao to be Su Shiyun’s bodyguard, he had told Su Shiyun that she should always follow Dongfang Xiaoyao’s arrangements when it came to matters of safety.
Soon, Dongfang Xiaoyao took Su Shiyun back to the parking lot and then drove away.
Wooo wooo wooo—
At the same time, several police cars sirens blaring, drove into the parking lot.
The arrival of the police cars confirmed the words of the Hanshan Temple staff and caused the tourists to become even more panicked.
In the chaos, tourists scrambled to drive away, and the parking lot exit became blocked. Finally, a police officer stepped forward to clear the traffic.
“It seems there really are criminals in Hanshan Temple,” Su Shiyun said as the well-known Maybach in Su City drove out of the parking lot.
“Sister Shiyun, don’t worry, with me here, no criminal can harm you,” Dongfang Xiaoyao said calmly while driving.
“Mm.”
Su Shiyun nodded upon hearing this, and the worry on her face disappeared.
Huh?
A few minutes later, Dongfang Xiaoyao suddenly saw more than a dozen uniform vehicles heading towards Hanshan Temple.
Those cars were also sounding their sirens, but they were not police cars.
With just a glance, Dongfang Xiaoyao recognized that those cars belonged to the Su City Office of the Military Department!
This discovery made Dongfang Xiaoyao’s heart stir: could the criminals in Hanshan Temple be martial artists?
At the same time, Chen Yong, sitting in the leading vehicle, immediately spotted Su Shiyun’s Maybach, which was very famous in Su City.
“Ch- Chief, that’s Su Shiyun’s car. I heard that Su Shiyun’s bodyguard is a nine-star martial artist. Should we ask for her help?”
The driver also saw Su Shiyun’s car and, recalling some information about Dongfang Xiaoyao, couldn’t help but ask Chen Yong.
Chen Yong’s heart stirred upon hearing this. After a moment of hesitation, he took out his phone and dialed Su Shiyun’s number.
He had accompanied Qin Linhai to the Su family to celebrate the birthday of Old Master Su.
Since then, he had been concerned about protecting Su Shiyun, and was quite familiar with her.
“Hello, Director Chen.”
Su Shiyun answered the phone, feeling somewhat surprised.
“Ms. Su, did you just go to Hanshan Temple?” Chen Yong asked.
“Yes, but I had just arrived at the entrance when I learned that there were criminals in Hanshan Temple, and all the tourists had come out,” Su Shiyun said.
“Hoo…”
Chen Yong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
According to Su Shiyun, the extraterrestrial enemies had not yet descended.
“Director Chen, is there something you need from me?” Su Shiyun asked proactively when Chen Yong remained silent.
“Ms. Su, I have a bold request.”
Chen Yong pondered for a moment and decided to get straight to the point.
“What?”
Su Shiyun was a bit puzzled. What could Chen Yong possibly need from her?
“There will be extremely dangerous criminals appearing at Hanshan Temple. Those criminals are martial artists, and our office may not be able to handle them. If the criminals leave Hanshan Temple, it will pose a great threat to the nearby residents, potentially causing many deaths, and may even become a disaster for Su City!
We have reported this matter to the Jiangnan Branch of the Military Department, and the branch minister, Yan Jun, has already led his men to support us.”
Chen Yong carefully chose his words, explained the situation concisely, and then stated his request, “I would like to ask your bodyguard to help us deal with the criminals. Is that possible?”
