Outside the Capital Prison.
Ye Longlin looked at the people in front of him and shook his head slightly. These people were not on equal footing with him.
The families had not yet arrived.
If Zheng Qiaozhi alone could speak with him as an equal, what would that make them?
"Yuan Gang, open a path."
Ye Longlin spoke slowly. Since you won't make a move, I will.
Since you want to hide in the shadows, I don't mind bringing you out. If you don't come out, we'll just leave.
"Yes!"
Yuan Gang turned to face Zheng Qiaozhi, his cold eyes fixed on him, a playful smile on his lips. "Move aside."
Zheng Qiaozhi shook his head. "I can't."
He was acting under orders from the Old Master and certainly could not let them leave so easily. If they were allowed to leave, what would become of his reputation, and the Old Master's reputation? They had to uphold the face of the Zheng family, didn't they?
If nothing else, the Zheng family's reputation alone was enough to justify any price to preserve it.
"Is your Zheng family that great?"
"Slap!"
"Is your Zheng family that formidable?"
"Slap!"
"Your Zheng family dares to lay hands on my Dragon Pavilion?"
"Slap!"
"Your Zheng family..."
"Slap, slap, slap, slap!"
With every sentence Yuan Gang spoke, he landed a heavy slap. After a rapid succession of slaps, Zheng Qiaozhi was dazed. Before he could fully recover, Yuan Gang delivered the final slap, knocking him unconscious.
"..."
Many people watching from the shadows felt speechless. However, it seemed quite normal. After all, Yuan Gang was a Three-Star General. Let alone Zheng Qiaozhi, who was merely a One-Star General, even a Two-Star General would be at Yuan Gang's mercy.
"You want to stop me?"
Yuan Gang looked at the Capital Defense Army in front of him, a cold smile playing on his lips. His eyes narrowed, emanating a dangerous glint.
"King Ye, is what you're doing appropriate? Xuan Niao is a serious offender. By taking him away like this, are you not disregarding military law?"
After Zheng Qiaozhi was knocked out, someone finally couldn't help but step forward. Judging by his demeanor, he was still from the military.
However, neither Yuan Gang nor Ye Longlin paid him any attention.
Yuan Gang waved his hand, and the formation of Dragon Pavilion soldiers took a forceful step forward. A killing intent instantly enveloped the scene, and the Dragon Pavilion soldiers prepared for battle!
Clearly, they were preparing to fight their way out!
Xuan Niao approached at this moment and handed him his phone.
"What's wrong?"
It was Mu Hanqi's call.
"Are you coming back for lunch? I've made food. Here, I'll send you a video. It looks delicious, and tastes great. I guess I do have a talent for cooking. I just want you to come back and try it."
Ye Longlin glanced at the time. It was already half past eleven.
"I'll be home around half past twelve."
He could resolve this situation in an hour and needed to go back to see what was happening.
That girl had no talent for cooking at all. He was worried she might burn down the kitchen.
"Then I'll wait for you,
Ye Qingfeng nodded. "Yes, if you could show me, perhaps I could let you leave here alive today."
