Lin Tian'ai left, and Mu Ye stood on the balcony, looking in the direction he left, hands behind his back, silent.
Mu Hanqi appeared behind Mu Ye, also silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Didn't you say to keep your distance from Lin Tian'ai? Why are you cooperating with her now?"
Mu Ye shook his head, "There's no 'why.' In fact, with Ye Longlin behind her, she can ignore all threats."
"I mobilized the Mu family's intelligence network, and the message I received was to not provoke Ye Longlin. Ye Longlin's background is very powerful, so powerful that even the Mu family cannot afford to offend him. I don't know his specific identity, but that's the fact."
Mu Hanqi's pupils contracted sharply, shock flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected to receive such an answer.
"So, you're not cooperating with Juling Group, but rather trying to gain favor with Ye Longlin for future benefits?"
Mu Ye nodded, "Yes."
Mu Hanqi nodded thoughtfully.
Meanwhile, after leaving the compound, Ye Longlin returned home. Yuan Gang brought new information.
"Boss, we have new news from Long Ge."
"Codename Reaper, alias God of Death, has appeared in Xingcheng. We are currently making every effort to locate him. The news came out two days ago, around 5 PM on the afternoon you visited my home. Long Ge hadn't found his trace yet, so they didn't report it. He appeared again about two hours ago, and then... disappeared again."
Yuan Gang stood in the new house, looking out at the Long Tang River, and couldn't help but sigh, "Money is a wonderful thing."
"I need specific details."
Codename God of Death... This is indeed troublesome!
This guy shouldn't be rated as an A-class wanted criminal, but an S-class wanted criminal.
Although he was only ranked in the middle among A-class wanted criminals, his combat power and ruthlessness were no less than S-class!
Codename God of Death, full name Zhou Guang.
Formerly an instructor for the Sky Sword Special Forces, he had won first place in hand-to-hand combat and individual combat in the Global Elite Special Forces Competition, among other honors.
Later, due to a border conflict that resulted in the annihilation of the Sky Sword, he was captured half-crippled by the enemy. After various tortures, he suffered a mental breakdown and went insane. In a fit of rage, he single-handedly wiped out an entire armed group. After being rescued, he destroyed various weapons within the military.
Under duress, he was sent to a military court and sentenced to three years. However, on the day he was to be sent to prison, he killed everyone and defected. Upon entering the city, he caused the deaths of over a thousand people. There was no choice but to send him to the Mobei Prison.
This was a hero, but unfortunately, he had mental problems.
He pulled up the information from the system, glanced at it, and shook his head slightly.
It truly felt like the twilight of a hero.
"He cannot be apprehended directly. Let's wait. I want to talk to him."
Ye Longlin lit a cigarette and then sighed.
Zhou Guang, at least, had once contributed to Da Xia, had shed blood and sweat for Da Xia.
He didn't want violence, but if the other party continued on this path, then it would have to be non-violent resistance.
"I understand."
Just then, the phone rang.
Ye Longlin answered the call. The other party remained silent for a long time before a voice came through, "Ye Longlin, Ye Tianwang, long time no see."
"Zhou Guang."
He narrowed his eyes, signaling Yuan Gang with his gaze.
Yuan Gang sat down and his fingers flew across the keyboard. Soon, a satellite search of the entire city was initiated.
"Ye Tianwang, no need to search. I am on the rooftop of the building opposite you. There is a sniper rifle aimed at your head right now. Ye Tianwang, do you think you can be faster than a bullet?"
Ye Longlin looked at the rooftop opposite and narrowed his eyes, looking at Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang shook his head.
Ye Longlin lit a cigarette, "Your anti-reconnaissance methods have improved even further. God of Death is still God of Death. Your anti-reconnaissance awareness is always stronger than others."
Zhou Guang chuckled, "What I'm curious about is, since you know, how can Ye Tianwang still sit on the sofa and smoke so calmly? Your psychological fortitude is also excellent. However, I don't think you are faster than a bullet."
The opposite rooftop was about six hundred meters away. At the speed of a bullet, it would take about 1.1 seconds. Normal people's reactions wouldn't be this fast.
"I want to know, are you Zhou Guang or God of Death?"
This was indeed a question. If he was Zhou Guang, it would mean he still had some sense of protecting his country. But if he was God of Death, then precautions had to be taken to prevent him from causing trouble in the city.
He held his phone, looking at Ye Longlin through the scope, who was crossing his legs, a playful smile on his lips. "Don't you already have an answer in your heart?"
Ye Longlin was silent for a moment. Indeed, he already had an answer in his heart, but it was an answer he could barely bear.
"If you attack me, do you know the consequences? Also, you should know something. Acting here will cause many casualties. Don't forget, you were once a soldier who protected this land."
Zhou Guang sneered, "I protected them, but no one protected my comrades. They died on the border, died at the hands of the enemy. Who will protect us?"
As he spoke, his voice became low and hoarse.
"Who can save them? Who will come to help us when we need the people?"
"Why should we sacrifice ourselves selflessly? Why should we use our flesh and blood to protect a group of beasts?"
"Do you know why I defected? No, you don't. Because when I returned home, a group of beasts violated my daughter, and my wife was sunk into the river!"
"Why should I protect them? The powerful can ignore the law and evade legal sanctions! Since the law cannot punish them, let me become the darkness, the Damocles sword that executes them!"
Ye Longlin remained silent, not saying a word. This information was not in the files. Perhaps these things were taboo?
"I don't deny that the powerful have this ability now, but you should also believe in the country's laws, rather than staining your own hands with blood."
Zhou Guang grinned sinisterly, "I will not believe anyone, because I want everyone to fear me. I want all the powerful to know that even in the darkness, there are still people who can carry out the death penalty. Only then will fewer people be afraid!"
Ye Longlin fell silent. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was Zhou Guang or God of Death on the other side.
"But your method is wrong. You chose to stain your own hands with blood, and in essence, you have taken the wrong path."
At this moment, Zhou Guang shouted loudly, "Ye Tianwang, don't try to educate me with your principles. Are you qualified? Aren't your hands also stained with blood?"
