Chapter 316 Interception
Qin Minghuang shook his head non-stop, his expression filled with terror, utterly disbelieving. He mumbled, "How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible. You... you're definitely not a security guard. What in the world is going on? Was this a trap from the very beginning?"
Chen Yang frowned. Looking at Qin Minghuang on the ground, he stomped on Qin Minghuang's chin with a "bang." With a "crack," several of Qin Minghuang's molars "crunch" and fell out directly.
Chen Yang instantly grabbed Qin Minghuang's mouth and spat out those teeth. He looked at them and smiled, saying, "See? There was indeed poison. It seems Ryukawa Ki didn't trust you at all!"
Qin Minghuang's face instantly turned deathly pale. He was terrified of dying, which was why he had hesitated about committing suicide before. But now, even the option of suicide was gone.
If he didn't even dare to take poison, other methods of suicide would be even more terrifying and unthinkable.
Qin Minghuang stared at Chen Yang in horror. His mouth trembled a few times, and he stammered, "It... it was Ryukawa Ki who sent me. He sent me to get the recipe for the Zizai Liangcha, and after getting the recipe, I couldn't let anyone else know. That was the mission he gave me."
Chen Yang glanced at Qin Minghuang and sighed, "Ah... Old Qin, you truly missed the best opportunity. I intended to give you a chance to confess honestly and obediently, thus avoiding physical suffering. Now, you're still clinging to a glimmer of hope. Since that's the case, Zhuque, I'll leave him to you."
Zhuque chuckled and walked over, grabbing Qin Minghuang. She said, "Celestial Venerable, just leave him to me. I guarantee it will be faster. This kind of trash won't last three minutes under my hands before spilling everything like beans from a bamboo tube."
Chen Yang waved his hand, telling Zhuque to go and interrogate him immediately. He then searched around the villa Qin Minghuang had rented but found no other clues.
Before long, Zhuque rushed back into the villa with a hurried expression.
Seeing Zhuque's expression, Chen Yang immediately asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Zhuque nodded and said, "Something big has happened. The interrogation went smoothly. From Qin Minghuang's mouth, we learned that Ryukawa Ki's visit to China this time indeed has a huge purpose."
"He said that one of the purposes of Ryukawa Ki's arrival here is to blow up the secret think tank beneath the Palace Museum during the military parade."
"I don't know how the Black Dragon Pavilion learned about the secret think tank beneath the Palace Museum."
"In any case, their deployment is basically complete. The military parade is the day after tomorrow, which is also when they will officially act."
"It's fortunate that we obtained this information today, otherwise, everything would have been too late."
"Another point is that Ryukawa Ki's personal visit is not simply to destroy the underground think tank of the Palace Museum, but to excavate the Qinling Dragon Vein."
Chen Yang's brows furrowed deeply. He understood why Zhuque was so tense.
Indeed, all of this seemed like a coincidence. Ryukawa Ki rushed to China, found Qin Minghuang, and arranged all this under the guise of a grand plan, unknown to anyone.
If it weren't for the fact that Ryukawa Ki coincidentally drank the Zizai Liangcha midway and wanted its recipe, they might never have learned of their plan in advance.
The secret think tank was extremely important, containing many unsolved mysteries of China's history and a wealth of top-secret information.
It could be said that many crucial decisions had to be made based on the information in the think tank to reach a final judgment.
If it were truly destroyed, the impact would be severe and the harm immense, causing a sudden disruption to China's decision-making, making it impossible to adjust in the short term.
Chen Yang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He said, "The first matter concerns the Palace Museum. This matter will be handed over to the relevant authorities. They are capable of protecting it, as long as they are informed of this plan."
Zhuque nodded and asked, "So, we'll compile the information and secretly send it to them?"
Chen Yang thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "No, this matter is of great importance. If we send it secretly, it may not be taken seriously."
"How about this: my villa still has a few bodies of Black Dragon Pavilion members. Tomorrow morning, it will inevitably cause a huge stir, and they will investigate. You should place this information in the Black Dragon Pavilion's lair, and then someone will naturally follow the clues and find their base."
"When they see the direct message from the Black Dragon Pavilion, they will naturally understand that this news is true and dare not conceal it."
Zhuque immediately nodded and said, "Okay, this idea works. I'll order someone to do it right away."
Chen Yang nodded and then said, "The second matter is that we absolutely cannot let Ryukawa Ki leave. However, I won't go to Modu. I'll go directly to Qinling."
"Even Qin Minghuang doesn't know their specific location in Qinling or what they are digging for. This indicates that this matter is even more critical and important than blowing up the secret think tank beneath the Palace Museum."
"Therefore, Ryukawa Ki would tell Qin Minghuang about the previous plan, but not the full details of this plan, holding back information from Qin Minghuang. This is enough to show the difference between the two."
"So I'll rush over immediately to avoid being late. Zhuque, you and Qinglong, Baihu, and Xuanwu will go to Modu together to kill Ryukawa Ki."
Upon hearing this, Zhuque immediately said, "Celestial Venerable, you underestimate us too much. I can go alone. He's just a Dharma protector of the Black Dragon Pavilion; I can handle him."
Chen Yang immediately shook his head, "Don't be careless. His strength should be on par with yours. Although I know you can defeat him, it would be troublesome if he were to extract information from you."
"So, the four of you going together is to ensure that this matter is handled without any mishaps. Hurry up, I'm heading to Qinling now."
Zhuque nodded reluctantly, but she knew that such concerns were valid. It would be troublesome if Ryukawa Ki were to escape.
Soon, the members of the Celestial Physician Hall sprang into action, while Chen Yang drove his car at high speed towards Qinling.
Although airplanes and high-speed rail were faster, once they reached the area, they would have to search in the vast mountains, and they would likely have to rely on their car.
For Chen Yang now, the biggest problem was not knowing the exact location. If time was delayed, and they failed to stop the Black Dragon Pavilion in time, it would be a huge disaster.
What were they digging for when they spoke of excavating the dragon vein? Were they really after the so-called dragon vein energy, the destiny of the nation?
The Black Dragon Pavilion did believe in such things, but it was likely more than just that. Perhaps they had discovered some strange and important tomb?
Chen Yang picked up his phone and sent a message to Liu Ran, telling her to take a few days off and go to Qinling for a break, then he drove off alone at high speed.
