"Ah, my chest!"
Situ Jue instantly broke out in a cold sweat, the pain causing him to cry out.
At this moment, it felt as if a worm was devouring his heart within his chest. Every breath he took sent a sharp pang through his heart.
After Li Yang withdrew his hand, he said coldly, "This silver needle will accompany you for the rest of your life. As long as you have a breath left, you will feel this piercing pain. I am using this needle to seek justice for those you have harmed."
With that, Li Yang pulled out another short needle and, without a word, plunged it into his neck.
"Ah!"
Situ Jue let out another piercing scream. With this needle, his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Li Yang continued, "This needle is to punish you for offending the Tang family, Sister Shui, and my friends. The power of this needle will accelerate the decay of your internal organs."
"And when that day of decay comes, you will understand what it feels like to be a vegetative state patient in the hospital."
"Li Yang, just kill me. I don't want to become a vegetative state, I don't want to suffer."
Situ Jue already felt that life was worse than death and no longer wished to live.
But how could Li Yang let him die so easily?
Over the next few minutes, Li Yang proceeded to insert the entire set of silver needles into Situ Jue's body.
With each needle that went in, Situ Jue felt a pain akin to descending into hell.
Moreover, even with all the needles inserted, he remained conscious, not even fainting.
This was the true nightmare.
Even if he wanted to die, he couldn't even achieve unconsciousness.
Qian Long, standing nearby, watched Li Yang employ these acupuncture techniques and felt immense admiration for Li Yang's medical skills once again. He kept making hand gestures, trying to learn as many needle techniques as possible.
However, he found that Li Yang's needling speed was too fast. By the time he learned the first technique, Li Yang had already performed four or five.
"As expected of Master, acupuncture is truly not something ordinary people can master."
He finally sighed in disappointment. Seeing Li Yang get up and return to Shui Xiang's side, he trotted after him.
At the same time, the surrounding black-clad experts instantly subdued the suffering Situ Jue, patiently awaiting the arrival of the authorities.
"Who reported the case just now?"
A moment later, a beautiful woman in a police uniform walked in from outside the door and asked coldly.
"Heh heh, it was me!"
Qian Long's eyes lit up when he saw the beautiful officer. He raised his hand and ran over, saying, "I reported the case. I want to report Situ Jue and that Tang Yilong. These two have committed many evil deeds and dared to kidnap people in broad daylight."
"Moreover, they are involved with traitors from Sakura Country and have sold many Chinese national treasures. I have evidence for all of this."
"Is that so?"
The beautiful officer looked at Qian Long with surprise, thinking, "Am I familiar with this guy? Why is he always smiling at me?"
When she took the evidence and carefully verified it, she confirmed that everything Qian Long had said was correct. This evidence was obtained after Li Yang instructed him to search Situ Jue's lair after he had left.
Ultimately, they did indeed find all of Situ Jue's criminal evidence.
The beautiful officer waved her hand, and her subordinates immediately moved, rushing over to apprehend both Tang Yilong and Situ Jue.
Then, she observed the surrounding black-clad experts and asked Qian Long in surprise, "Who are these people? Did you bring them?"
"Yes, beautiful lady. I brought them to catch these two bad guys. They are all from the martial arts world, and they are good people," Qian Long said with a smile.
"You don't look like a good person. Why don't you come back with me for some questioning?"
As the beautiful officer spoke, she immediately took out handcuffs from her person and moved to arrest Qian Long.
Qian Long's eyes widened, and he quickly shook his head, saying, "I am innocent. Beautiful lady, please don't arrest me. This has nothing to do with me."
"We'll explain after we get back. Even if you have nothing to do with this matter, you stared at me a few too many times, which constitutes a threat to law enforcement. That charge alone is enough for you to be detained for a few days," the beautiful officer said as she promptly arrested him.
Just then, Li Yang walked over with a smile and said, "Alright, beautiful Murong, stop joking with him. He's my disciple, not a bad person."
"Heh, so he's your disciple!"
Upon seeing Li Yang, Murong Xue revealed a mysterious smile. She walked over and deliberately leaned closer to him, saying in a low voice, "When did you start taking in such playboys as disciples? Have you been corrupted by this playboy?"
"I haven't been corrupted. You'll know if you go out with me. I'm actually free tonight, how about coming to my place?" Li Yang said, feigning a joke.
"Pervert, you have quite the imagination. My mother is still at home."
Murong Xue glanced at Li Yang. After speaking with him, she distanced herself, then turned and glared at Qian Long, releasing him. "I'll let you off this time. If you dare to look at me again next time, I'll dig your eyes out."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"
Qian Long waved his hands with a smile. In such a situation, a bit of flirtation was necessary, otherwise, it would be a loss without any gain.
After this incident, he also realized that female officers were not to be trifled with. In the future, he would have to be careful if he encountered anyone in uniform.
If his master hadn't been here today, he would have truly been arrested.
"By the way, Master, what were you talking about with her just now? You two seem quite familiar. Do you know each other?" Qian Long asked curiously, regaining his composure.
"We are old friends. However, I warn you, you cannot afford to offend this woman. From now on, when you see her, remember to be respectful. Otherwise, if you suffer a loss, even I won't be able to save you," Li Yang explained.
"I understand, I understand. I've already experienced it."
Qian Long said with an awkward smile.
After arresting Situ Jue and Tang Yilong, Murong Xue walked back to Li Yang's side and said with a faint smile, "I've been investigating Situ Jue for some time. I didn't expect you to get ahead of me in the end. I'll only credit this great achievement to you when I report back."
"No need. Just credit it to the beautiful Murong. I'm just a commoner, and these empty merits are of no use to me," Li Yang said dismissively.
"Tsk, you sound generous, but I think you have ulterior motives."
Murong Xue rolled her eyes at him. How could she not see through his scheme? She owed him a favor today and would likely have to repay it tenfold with her body.
This brute was quite skilled with women!
After speaking, she did not linger at the scene. Instead, she directly took Situ Jue and Tang Yilong away for strict interrogation.
Just as Situ Jue was about to leave, he turned back and glared fiercely at Li Yang, as if telling him, "You arrested me today, boy. Your hard times are yet to come!"
"Master, this great villain has finally been caught. It seems our antique shop and Madam Shui's place can be much more peaceful from now on."
Qian Long, having helped Li Yang resolve a major problem, walked up to him with a smile and said, "Master, even if I didn't contribute much, I certainly put in a lot of effort. Could you make an exception and teach me a bit more? Just a little bit."
"Of course, that's not a problem. But before I teach you, you still need to help me with something," Li Yang said seriously.
