The morning in Yan Jing was usually quiet. Few people could laugh heartily in the midst of the apocalypse, and many had already been turned into zombies and killed. More than two years had passed, and people still hadn't emerged from the shadow of the zombies. Although zombies in China had been wiped out almost entirely, some people still worried that the city would be overrun by them.
Suddenly, Yan Jing was alerted by a series of explosions, and the city became chaotic, with panic spreading.
Those in the know learned an important piece of news: the chaos in Yan Jing was caused by Yue Hengyi. Yue Hengyi had betrayed the headquarters and, moreover, had brought ability users from Yuzhou to slaughter the citizens. Thousands had already died at Yue Hengyi's hands, with the ground collapsing in the city and no survivors.
Upon hearing this news, public opinion in Yan Jing about Yue Hengyi completely reversed. Yue Hengyi was once a hero, but because of this incident, he had become a devil in everyone's mouths.
Lin Yue and Cao Fuli, who were with Yue Hengyi, were also exposed, and the entire city began a search for them.
Lin Yue, suffering from severe blood loss, rushed to the west city gate but was blocked by dozens of soldiers. He eventually collapsed in despair and fell unconscious.
Someone on a distant street saw this scene and immediately clapped, exclaiming, "Good! Kill these scoundrels who have thrown Yan Jing into chaos and avenge the dead citizens!"
However, a group of people suddenly rushed over from a distance and directly protected Lin Yue. The leader was Gong Changfa, who hadn't appeared for a long time. There were more than twenty people behind him, directly blocking others from approaching.
Helicopters could not descend into the city due to the narrow streets, and many onlookers had gathered at the city gate, eager to know how Lin Yue would be dealt with.
Seeing that the helicopter could not land for a long time, the ability users on board became anxious. They quickly threw down a rope from the helicopter and slid down, shouting as they descended, "Gong Changfa, this is someone our Tianlong Bureau is apprehending. This is a villain brought in by Yue Hengyi, inviting wolves into the house. Do you want to harbor him?"
Gong Changfa did not reply but instead signaled to someone behind him. This person immediately went to Lin Yue's side, turned him over, and untied the bandage on Lin Yue's abdomen. Blood immediately began to flow uncontrollably, looking terrifying.
This person placed his palm on Lin Yue's abdomen and used his ability. Immediately, Lin Yue's wounds began to heal at a visible speed, and the bleeding stopped. The condition of severe blood loss was immediately halted.
At this moment, the ability users from the Tianlong Bureau also descended to the ground and walked towards Gong Changfa, still cursing, "You dare to lay hands on people from our Tianlong Bureau? You brat are tired of living!"
Hearing the other party's disrespectful words, Gong Changfa frowned, then sneered and said, "I haven't shown myself for half a year, and now any cat or dog can piss on my head. I'd like to see what you can do to me!"
With that, Gong Changfa directly walked towards the ability users of the Tianlong Bureau. As he walked, the people behind Gong Changfa also moved forward. Among them were Xun Yan, and Yun Laizhe and Ke Yiming, who were thought to have died at sea.
This ability user from the Tianlong Bureau was named Wang Like. Although he was an ability user, he was not of the combat type. Seeing Gong Changfa and his group approaching, he immediately felt guilty, especially after seeing Ke Yiming and Yun Laizhe behind Gong Changfa, he became even more fearful.
"Damn it, how did these two come back? Weren't they said to have died at sea? And the others, they don't look like easy targets. Could they all be ability users? Impossible, Gong Changfa was already at his wit's end before, he couldn't possibly have the ability to train ability users." Wang Like became somewhat intimidated by the imposing presence of the other side and began to retreat.
Reputation precedes a person. Gong Changfa seemed to have an average reputation among ordinary people. Many learned of Gong Changfa's name because the Tianxuan Bureau he led had its organization wiped out by sea beasts at sea, leaving only him and Xun Yan to return. However, among the many wealthy young masters in Yan Jing, Gong Changfa was no simple figure. Firstly, Gong Changfa's family was very influential, and secondly, Gong Changfa himself was a powerful ability user.
Wang Like had originally thought that Gong Changfa had lost his spirit during his half-year of house arrest, so a little threat would make him retreat obediently. They were from the Tianlong Bureau, after all. What could a former captain of the Tianxuan Bureau, who had lost his team, do?
However, as Gong Changfa slowly approached with a group of people, Wang Like truly became scared. It was rumored that Gong Changfa was invincible in close combat and had even fought sea beasts to a standstill. His side was no match for him.
Thinking of this, Wang Like immediately began to retreat, and while retreating, he took out his walkie-talkie and shouted into it, "Captain, Gong Changfa has brought people to protect Lin Yue. Come quickly to support me, I can't fight them!"
Wang Like was self-aware. His side was no match for Gong Changfa, let alone Xun Yan, Ke Yiming, and Yun Laizhe behind Gong Changfa. He was even less likely to be their match. A wise man knows when to retreat. He would call for backup!
Calling for backup was a common tactic in a brawl. As the saying goes, "Even the best boxer can't fight off four hands." Even if one or two people on his side were skilled fighters, they couldn't defeat a group of people, especially since Wang Like's own skill level was not particularly high.
Gong Changfa stopped and looked coldly at Wang Like, seemingly allowing Wang Like to call for reinforcements. As for Lin Yue, after his wounds healed, he was still in a coma. He was now carried on the back of a young man, and the others surrounded him, clearly intending to snatch Lin Yue away, which was impossible.
Xun Yan whispered to Gong Changfa, "Boss, isn't it too impulsive for you to do this? Our Tianxuan Bureau hasn't been rebuilt yet, and offending the Tianlong Bureau like this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Xun Yan had not expected that after reuniting with Yun Laizhe and returning to Yan Jing, such a situation would arise. Logically, this was a conflict between the Tianlong Bureau and Yue Hengyi. Although he knew Yue Hengyi, they weren't at the point of saving him. But now, the boss had directly saved Lin Yue, wasn't this making an enemy for the yet-to-be-rebuilt Tianxuan Bureau?
Gong Changfa did not explain in detail, but simply said, "Just listen to me. Saving Lin Yue will be beneficial."
Gong Changfa and Xun Yan had previously met Shen Feng and Yue Hengyi in North China. After a thorough exchange, they had simply parted as friends. The world had changed, and Gong Changfa had been under investigation and review for more than half a year. During this difficult period, Gong Changfa had finally understood the world: only those who possessed power could truly laugh in the end.
And now, Gong Changfa happened to return to Yan Jing with a group of ability users and saw Lin Yue. He saw hope for increasing his strength, so he directly intervened to protect Lin Yue.
Not long after, Long Qian arrived with more than a dozen ability users. When Long Qian saw Gong Changfa protecting Lin Yue with a group of ability users, his face turned ashen. Firstly, the target of apprehension had been preempted, and secondly, unintentionally, Gong Changfa had gained the support of another group of ability users.
Originally, Yan Jing was left with only the Tianlong Bureau as the sole organization of ability users. The main force of the Ability Administration Bureau was still in Siberia mining oil, and the Tianxuan Bureau had been disbanded. If this continued, Yan Jing would eventually have a situation where one organization dominated. However, Long Qian never expected that Gong Changfa would unexpectedly make a comeback.
"You are Long Qian? I haven't met you before. It's a pleasure to meet you." Gong Changfa said with a smile, looking at Long Qian approaching from a distance.
Long Qian's face was grim as he walked over with his group, questioning, "Gong Changfa, you brought so many unfamiliar ability users to protect Lin Yue. What's going on? Do you also want to be a traitor? Yue Hengyi betrayed the Ability Administration Bureau and killed countless people. He has already been arrested. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?"
Long Qian was also well aware of his side's strength. Su Liuying had taken the combat-type ability users of the Tianlong Bureau to Yuzhou, and they had been completely annihilated, leaving him with only personnel unsuitable for combat. As for Gong Changfa, he was known as invincible in close combat. Although there were no legends about him among the common people, all ability users had heard of him. If a real fight broke out, he would not be Gong Changfa's opponent.
Now, Long Qian could only resort to making accusations. No matter how strong your backbone was, once you were accused, that backbone would bend.
Gong Changfa said calmly, "How could I possibly become a traitor? My family has served China for generations, how could I betray it? But as you said, Yue Hengyi caused trouble in Yan Jing, and Lin Yue can be considered an accomplice. In that case, I naturally arrested him quickly. This merit belongs to me, or do you want to snatch our merit?"
Long Qian was momentarily speechless. He hadn't expected his accusation to be so easily explained away by Gong Changfa. Then, his eyes rolled, and he said, "No, Lin Yue is an ability user, and he must be handed over to us for detention. The Tianxuan Bureau has been disbanded and does not have the ability or authority to detain suspects. As for your merit, I will report it to headquarters."
Long Qian was shrewd. He could give Gong Changfa the credit, but he had to hand over the person. As long as Lin Yue could be captured, everything would be fine.
To this suggestion, Gong Changfa shrugged and replied, "You don't need to worry about that. I am rebuilding the Tianxuan Bureau, and the application was submitted an hour ago. A reply will come soon. We will definitely have a place to detain enemies. What do you say? Do you still want to say something? Or are you preparing to spar with me?"
Gong Changfa saw through Long Qian's intentions at a glance and then began to threaten, wanting to snatch Lin Yue away. It was simple: win against me.
Long Qian gnashed his teeth in hatred, not at Gong Changfa, but blaming Su Liuying in his heart, "Su Liuying, you scoundrel, you took a group of my subordinates to fight, and not one of them returned. If I had a few combat-type ability users under me, how could Gong Changfa continue to be so arrogant?"
Thinking about the current situation, Long Qian was very frustrated. If he still had more than twenty combat-type ability users under him, he would have directly snatched Lin Yue away. He wouldn't be so passive now. In the end, it was all Su Liuying's fault.
Long Qian did not reply, so Gong Changfa shrugged and prepared to leave, saying as he walked, "If you want to send flies to monitor me, feel free to try. See if you can do it!"
With that, Gong Changfa and his group prepared to leave directly.
Gong Changfa felt a surge of satisfaction in his heart, thinking, "As long as I have enough strength, I can do whatever I want. Before, I was always scheming and my methods were too poor. This is how it should be, using overt force to suppress others!"
The former Gong Changfa was skilled in using schemes, so he had no psychological burden when it came to methods like flattering to the top or pitting tigers against each other. But now, Gong Changfa had learned to use open schemes. With great strength, he didn't need to scheme and calculate carefully; he could crush them openly and honorably.
Gong Changfa left with Lin Yue, and no one from the Tianlong Bureau dared to stop him.
Many people were shocked to witness this scene. Wasn't the Tianlong Bureau the most powerful organization of ability users in Yan Jing? Why were they so scared and retreated now?
Long Qian took a deep breath and murmured, "It seems that I must strengthen my power as soon as possible."
