Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 72 The Black Guard

The people around them didn't know if he was telling the truth, finding his words laughable instead.

A mysterious unit?

And leading all the troops of Great Xia?

"Hahaha!"

"If you could lead the troops of Great Xia, I could command the Kyushu Military Region! How truly ridiculous, you little nobody actually thinks of leading the troops of Great Xia."

At this moment, Yuan Gang received a phone call. After hanging up, a playful smile appeared on his lips, "Qian Sen, you've completed thirteen missions and earned considerable merits, but don't you have any idea how those merits were actually obtained?"

"Do you think the things you've done are truly unknown? Or do you think your actions were seamless?"

Qian Sen, resembling Qian Wan, was the only one from the Qian family who had served in the military. At less than twenty-seven years old, he had already achieved his current rank. Given more time, one could only wonder how far he would have progressed.

However, the things he had done would eventually be exposed. Once discovered, his future prospects would likely be nonexistent.

Qian Sen's heart skipped a beat, his expression turning grim, "What do you mean?"

Yuan Gang smiled slightly, "Exactly what I said!"

"You know very well what you've done, so there's no need for me to elaborate, is there?"

His expression darkened, and he let out a sinister laugh, "Then do you think you can walk out of here?"

He knew very well what he had done and understood the consequences.

He didn't know the details of the phone call he just received, but undoubtedly, it had made him aware that his actions had been discovered.

Could it truly be from a mysterious unit?

"All team members of Squad One, take position! Take these war criminals down!"

He spoke directly into the walkie-talkie, a chilling glint in his eyes.

He wasn't alone today!

"War criminals? How interesting. Do you think you have the right to define others as war criminals? Not only do you lack the authority, but even if you had it, it wouldn't be your decision."

Yuan Gang snorted disdainfully.

As his voice faded, red dots appeared on his body, and several red dots also appeared on Ye Longlin.

As soldiers, they knew precisely what these red dots signified and what they represented.

"You're truly courting death!"

Yuan Gang shook his head.

"You can do something to me, but you cannot touch the person behind me. He is not someone you can lay a hand on."

He shook his head, his eyes gradually turning icy.

Thump, thump, thump—

Footsteps echoed, and a squad of armed soldiers entered, their weapons aimed at Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang.

"Don't move, hands up!"

The deputy captain said coldly, staring at him.

"Efficiency."

Ye Longlin suddenly spoke, reminding him.

Yuan Gang nodded, grinned sinisterly, and took a step forward, a formidable aura erupting from his body.

"Boom!"

Centered on him, an immense pressure instantly spread. The soldiers before him, within moments, felt an overwhelming pressure, their bodies trembling.

It felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on their shoulders!

"You've committed a crime by daring to attack military personnel!"

Qian Sen quickly drew his pistol and fired a shot at Yuan Gang!

"Bang!"

The bullet flew out, the muzzle flashing with fire.

Yuan Gang felt the danger from behind and subtly shifted his body. The bullet grazed his ear. His eyes turned cold, and in a blink, he was beside Qian Sen, a large hand gripping his neck.

"A soldier's gun is meant to protect the country, not to be aimed at their own people. You have violated the law!"

With that said, his arm slowly tightened, lifting Qian Sen effortlessly, his tone chilling.

Qian Sen's face turned red. He flailed his limbs but to no avail.

Soon, six or seven individuals in black uniforms entered, their faces carrying an aura of grim determination, beneath which lay incredibly cold eyes.

"The Black Guard is on official business, civilians, stand aside!"

The leader spoke, his icy tone sending a chill through everyone present.

"Mr. Yuan, please show mercy. We have been investigating Qian Sen for three months. Even if you hadn't contacted us, we would have arrested him within three days."

The captain of the Black Guard said respectfully, having learned of Yuan Gang's identity from the highest authorities!

That was the sanctuary of soldiers, the realm of dreams!

Upon seeing these individuals, Qian Sen's pupils contracted, and his lips began to tremble.

"The... Black Guard!"

The Black Guard supervises and investigates.

"What? Scared when you see them? Or do you know that what you've done is against regulations and morality?"

Yuan Gang scoffed, a playful smile gracing his lips.

Qian Sen's face turned scarlet, not just from Yuan Gang's grip on his neck but more so from his guilty conscience.

"What have I done? Why should I be afraid of him? I haven't done anything, so why worry? How amusing."

The captain of the Black Guard glanced at him, then produced an arrest warrant and stated sternly, "Qian Sen, upon investigation, all your records are suspected of being falsified. You have used the deaths of teammates to gain personal merit. You are hereby issued an arrest warrant and requested to accompany us for investigation."

"Furthermore, the military factory under the Qian family is suspected of material issues and has been removed from the list of cooperating partners by the military. Squad Two has already arrived at the factory for sealing."

"Qian Wan, specialized personnel will contact you later. Don't even think about leaving, or the consequences..."

With the arrest warrant issued, everyone was stunned, shock evident in their eyes.

They never expected so many events to unfold at a birthday banquet.

Was the Qian family about to fall?

Had the long-standing titan of Star City begun to show signs of decline?

Various thoughts raced through the minds of the business elites.

"It's time to go."

Ye Longlin reminded softly.

Yuan Gang nodded. The matter was now largely out of their hands.

Zhao Qingqiu watched the scene unfold, completely bewildered by the situation. However, she was certain of one thing.

This was a sign of the imminent decline of the Qian family, that once towering tree.

"En en."

Zhao Qingqiu nodded and looked at Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan gave a slight nod, her eyes gleaming.

"Sir, we have found traces of the people dispatched by the Qian family. After investigation, they are several other war criminals. We have tracked their whereabouts and will have news within three hours at the latest."

Yuan Gang said softly.

Ye Longlin glanced at the scorching sun in the sky and shook his head, "Give them two hours at most!"
