Director Liu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the row of individuals being led into the interrogation rooms.
He had never felt so triumphant.
When had he not had to cater to the whims of these National Martial Arts Hall members?
Today, he didn't have to.
Not only that, but he could detain all of them!
Three years of detention, would that finally satisfy Ling Feng?
Director Liu was no fool.
When Ling Feng had left, he had made it clear that the place needed to be cleaned up. This wasn't just about the dead bodies in the courtyard.
More importantly, these people needed to be arrested and detained. That was what cleaning up truly meant.
This matter had to be handled flawlessly.
Someone would inevitably come back to investigate. If Ling Feng found out that he had harbored these people and hadn't detained them, his position as director would be untenable.
While Director Liu was busy with his tasks, Ling Feng had already returned to the mourning hall with his entourage.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they heard Lin Shuai Nan's furious shouts.
Simultaneously, they heard the sounds of Lin Shuai Nan slapping someone.
*Slap, slap!*
"Damn it, you're still so arrogant even when facing death? You call yourself the head of the National Martial Arts Hall, the Ninth District's representative, and the acting head of the main hall? Even you have to call me Big Brother. Who the hell is this Qi Yaohong you're talking about!"
*Slap, slap!*
With that, Lin Shuai Nan slapped Zhang Delai a couple more times.
Many people watching Zhang Delai kneeling on the ground were filled with righteous anger, but they also felt a sense of fear.
Chen Jiao, in particular, was extremely anxious ever since Zhang Delai had been brought back by Lin Shuai Nan.
When Zhang Delai later revealed that the incident was orchestrated by Qi Yaohong, the head of the Ninth District's National Martial Arts Hall, Chen Jiao became even more terrified.
This matter involved too many people. If it continued like this, it would become a serious problem!
Although Chen Jiao had a general idea that Lin Shuai Nan and Ling Feng were not ordinary people, the title of the head of the Ninth District's National Martial Arts Hall was still too intimidating.
Chen Jiao truly didn't want to implicate Ling Feng and the others.
Lin Si Qi and the others by her side were constantly trying to comfort Chen Jiao.
Zhang Delai had clearly been slapped by Lin Shuai Nan for quite some time. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he glared at the somewhat fearful Chen Jiao through gritted teeth.
"Hmph, if I die today, someone here will surely be buried with me. This matter is not over!"
"Damn it, you dare to blabber? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!"
Lin Shuai Nan was absolutely furious!
How timid had this Zhang Delai been in front of Ling Feng earlier? What was this? Now that Ling Feng wasn't here, Zhang Delai was acting tough again?
What was going on?
It was clear he wasn't showing Lin Shuai Nan any respect!
The more Lin Shuai Nan thought about it, the more enraged he became.
Zhou Jingyi couldn't hold back any longer. "What did Ling Feng say? We can't kill him right now?"
Ji Yun Yue instinctively reached out to stop Zhou Jingyi.
When Lin Shuai Nan had returned earlier, he had explicitly stated that they had to wait for Ling Feng to return before killing this guy!
Since Ling Feng hadn't returned yet, they couldn't kill him!
Seeing Zhou Jingyi speak up, Lin Shuai Nan gritted his teeth. "Yes, Big Brother said to wait for him to return, but this guy is too much of a smart mouth. I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to kill him. At worst, Big Brother will just smack me on the back of the head. I have to avenge Jiao Jiao today!"
As he spoke, Lin Shuai Nan produced a large saber from somewhere.
He then took two gulps of wine from a bowl in his other hand, and spat the mouthful of wine he was holding onto the saber!
*Pfft!*
Zhang Delai, who was bound and kneeling on the ground, felt his entire body tremble at the sound behind him.
He instinctively turned his head to look at Lin Shuai Nan, just in time to see Lin Shuai Nan raising the saber, about to chop off his head!
"Ah! What are you doing?!"
Zhang Delai screamed in terror.
"Of course, I'm going to chop you, you scoundrel!"
Lin Shuai Nan let out a wild cry and was about to swing the saber down!
A wave of gasps erupted from the surrounding crowd.
Chen Jiao cried out in alarm, "No, Brother Lin..."
Lin Shuai Nan's hand trembled slightly, and then he heard Ling Feng's voice from behind him, "What? Haven't seen you in three years, Shuai Nan, have your guts grown? You don't even listen to my words anymore?"
Lin Shuai Nan immediately hid the saber behind his back.
He instinctively turned to look outside.
Indeed, he saw Ling Feng walking in with a few people.
Lin Shuai Nan immediately gave an awkward laugh. "Heh heh, Big Brother, how could I not listen to you?!"
"Then what are you holding?" Ling Feng moved closer and looked behind Lin Shuai Nan.
*Clang!*
Lin Shuai Nan immediately dropped the saber to the ground and then feigned surprise, looking behind him.
"Oh my, where did this saber come from? What happened? Who put it in my hand? You guys tell me, who was it? Aren't you framing me?"
Lin Shuai Nan cried out and then pointed at the surrounding crowd.
The neighbors and onlookers all put on innocent expressions.
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly. This Lin Shuai Nan, he still loved to act so much!
"Wang Yuan!"
At this moment, Chen Jiao also saw Wang Yuan walking in behind them and excitedly rushed towards him.
Wang Yuan hugged Chen Jiao tightly!
Lin Shuai Nan, seeming to have found an opportunity to extricate himself, quickly waved to Ling Feng with a smile. "Heh heh, Big Brother, look, Wang Yuan is back! My little brother is truly blessed with great fortune!"
Ling Feng ignored Lin Shuai Nan and simply watched as he approached.
Wang Yuan was also tightly holding Chen Jiao, but tears welled up in his eyes. "Jiao Jiao, I'm sorry, I... I didn't protect you well!"
Chen Jiao's delicate body trembled violently. She knew that Wang Yuan knew everything!
At this moment, Chen Jiao desperately shook her head. "No, I'm the one who wronged you. I... I let someone defile me, sob sob... Wang Yuan, I'm sorry!"
"No, don't say that. It's all that beast's fault. Jiao Jiao, don't overthink it. I'll kill this bastard right now to avenge you!"
Wang Yuan roared and handed Chen Jiao over to Lin Shuai Nan beside him. "Brother Lin, please take care of Jiao Jiao for me!"
"Alright, little brother, no problem. Go chop that beast!"
With that, the saber that Lin Shuai Nan had dropped inexplicably returned to his hand, and he directly handed it to Wang Yuan!
Wang Yuan's eyes were red. How could he care about anything else at this moment?
He directly took the saber from Lin Shuai Nan's hand.
Then, he walked step by step towards Zhang Delai.
At this moment, Chen Jiao did not stop Wang Yuan. There was a hurdle in Chen Jiao's heart. She knew that Wang Yuan had to kill Zhang Delai now, otherwise, she would never overcome this hurdle.
At this moment, Chen Jiao also disregarded the consequences!
It was Zhang Delai who ruined her beautiful everything. This bastard deserved to die!
