Wang Haiyang looked at Jin Peng, sensing the killing intent radiating from him, and knew things were about to go bad.
As expected, Jin Peng said with a chuckle, "Mr. Chu, what do you mean by this? We've lost our brothers, and we accept our fate, isn't that enough?"
"Of course not. You wanted to kill me, and losing two isn't enough?"
Chu Lingtian's voice boomed, "You will all die!"
He didn't intend to let anyone off today, including Wang Haiyang.
Jin Peng and his men had disturbed Liu Bingxue and caused her to be frightened, so this matter was far from over.
Liu Bingxue was his bottom line!
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions again, then stared at Chu Lingtian as if he were an idiot.
Chu Lingtian wanted them all dead?
They figured his brain must be filled with water to say such a thing.
Chu Lingtian was alone, and they were dozens of people.
Even if a fight broke out, the outcome was obvious.
Brother Bao saw Chu Lingtian initiate the conflict and immediately became interested, smiling at him.
"Good kid, you've got guts! To dare to say you'll kill all of us in front of Director Wang, that's quite an ambition!"
Brother Bao said coldly, "I'll see today how you plan to kill all of us?"
Jin Peng sat without speaking, clearly angered by Chu Lingtian's words.
He had offered Chu Lingtian a way out, and Chu Lingtian took him for a pushover?
If he didn't teach Chu Lingtian a lesson, how could he continue to operate in Dachang City?
Wang Haiyang wanted to smooth things over, but he didn't expect Chu Lingtian to be so unappreciative.
"Mr. Chu, this is perhaps going too far! It's best to know when to stop. That's more important than anything!" Wang Haiyang said with a smile.
Chu Lingtian sneered, "Don't pretend to be someone you're not, like a pig with its snout stuffed with a bunch of green onions. You're in league with them, you think I don't know that?"
"This guy was just released after being locked up, and a no-name mob boss could make you personally show up with just a phone call!"
"You truly are a good public servant!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Wang Haiyang's face froze, and his expression became stiff.
Did Chu Lingtian already know he was the protector of Dachang City's underground forces?
Before Wang Haiyang could say anything, Brother Bao spoke first.
"I say you really don't need to pretend. Since there's no one else here, no one will know you're working for Boss Long!"
Brother Bao continued, "As long as we take care of him, no one will know your true identity!"
Wang Haiyang's face turned ashen, and he looked at Brother Bao with a helpless expression.
This bastard wanted to force him to take a definitive stand, and he had achieved his goal.
Today, Chu Lingtian really couldn't be allowed to leave alive because he knew too much.
Thinking of this, Wang Haiyang's expression changed, his eyes filled with intense killing intent as he looked at Chu Lingtian.
"Chu Lingtian, why are you refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"
Wang Haiyang said, "I clearly gave you a way out, but you insisted on walking down a path to death, what a pity!"
"What? Revealing your true colors so quickly?"
Chu Lingtian said calmly, "I thought you were going to keep pretending? In that case, I'll have to eliminate this menace to society today!"
A scumbag like Wang Haiyang, who had betrayed the police force, certainly couldn't be let off easily.
"Well said, 'eliminate this menace to society.' I'd like to see your real skills today!"
Wang Haiyang said, "We have dozens of people here. I'd like to see how you eliminate this menace to society. If you can leave here alive, it would be an insult to us!"
Wang Haiyang had reached a point of no return and wanted to kill Chu Lingtian.
"None of you just stand there! Hurry up and kill this kid!"
Upstairs, Liu Huohuo and Liu Bingxue heard the commotion downstairs and their hearts leaped into their throats again.
They were extremely worried about Chu Lingtian's safety.
"Why don't we go down and take a look?" Liu Bingxue suggested.
Liu Huohuo turned back and said, "You're letting concern cloud your judgment. We won't be able to help if we go down, and it will only cause trouble for Chu Lingtian. Let's just wait!"
Liu Bingxue thought it made sense.
The two could only continue to hide in the private room, not daring to act rashly.
Downstairs, Brother Bao led several burly men to charge at Chu Lingtian, intending to teach him a harsh lesson.
Chu Lingtian didn't hold back. He grabbed the chopsticks in his hand and casually threw them forward. Immediately, screams rang out.
A single chopstick pierced through the throats of two men, instantly killing them. The other burly men recoiled in fear.
Brother Bao knew Chu Lingtian's prowess well and didn't dare to step forward for a one-on-one fight.
Chu Lingtian said with a smile, "Anyone who wants to die can come forward. I don't mind sending you on your final journey!"
Killing two burly men with a single chopstick had terrified the others.
Wang Haiyang said coldly, "The criminal is resisting arrest in public. Execute him immediately!"
With that command, all the police officers raised their guns and aimed at Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian smiled calmly, as if he hadn't noticed.
"You want to kill me? It won't be that easy!"
Just then, the sound of uniform footsteps echoed from outside the door. A squad of fully armed soldiers rushed in.
Following them, a middle-aged man in military uniform walked in, with sharp eyebrows and stern eyes, exuding an air of authority.
"Hands up! Everyone, raise your hands!"
The middle-aged man shouted, "Anyone who resists will be shot on the spot!"
This middle-aged man was Deputy Officer Zhou, sent by Commander Xiao. He was still waiting for news in the car and hadn't dared to come forward personally.
Wang Haiyang had met Deputy Officer Zhou a few times, and they had some acquaintance, so he quickly walked over to him.
"Deputy Officer Zhou, why are you here?"
Deputy Officer Zhou said coldly, "I'm here on a mission. I didn't expect Director Wang to be here too? Are you apprehending a major criminal?"
Wang Haiyang grinned and replied, "Deputy Officer Zhou, you're brilliant. Someone here has killed four people, and I specifically came to apprehend the culprit!"
Deputy Officer Zhou smiled and nodded, then walked directly towards Chu Lingtian.
Wang Haiyang was instantly bewildered!
Jin Peng was also dumbfounded, not understanding what was happening.
Deputy Officer Zhou didn't seem to regard Chu Lingtian as an enemy. Instead, his smile carried a hint of appeasement.
Could it be that Deputy Officer Zhou knew Chu Lingtian as well? Was it such a coincidence?
Deputy Officer Zhou walked up to Chu Lingtian, immediately saluted him, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Chu, are you injured? I'll escort you out of here as quickly as possible!"
Chu Lingtian smiled and shook his head. The day's events were not yet concluded, so he couldn't leave.
"Deputy Officer Zhou, someone wants to kill me!"
Chu Lingtian paused for a moment, then added, "They all want to kill me. I ask Deputy Officer Zhou to uphold justice for me!"
Deputy Officer Zhou immediately turned to look at Wang Haiyang and Jin Peng and the others, his gaze sharp as a knife, as if he were about to kill someone in the next second.
