Two minutes after Shen Lang made the call, the sound of sirens quickly followed, and more than twenty martial guards appeared.
The martial guard leading them was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a tired face, clearly having worked many late nights.
"Team Leader Shen, hello, my name is Tang Xiong, the head of the nearby martial guard squad. Please let me know what you need."
Although Shen Lang was young, Tang Xiong knew that the person before him was not simple. Not only was he Song Shadao's nephew, but he had also done many unimaginable things.
Especially recently, Shen Lang leading Qin Long and others to win the championship in the grand martial arts competition made all the Nanling Martial Guards aware of Shen Lang.
It's important to note that before Shen Lang led the Nanling Martial Guard Division to victory, they hadn't won a championship in many years. They were consistently ranked last, and had been mocked countless times by the martial guard divisions of other cities.
It could be said that Shen Lang had brought them honor, so even though they had never met, Tang Xiong deeply respected Shen Lang.
"Captain Tang, hello, thank you for your hard work."
Looking at Tang Xiong, Shen Lang smiled and said, "My instructions are simple: I want you to surround this restaurant, and then we will screen all the Yangguo men one by one. I need to find the killer."
"Team Leader Shen, everything is according to your arrangements."
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Tang Xiong nodded, then said to his more than twenty subordinates, "Twenty of you, fifteen will surround the restaurant, and the remaining five will accompany me and Team Leader Shen to screen all Yangguo men."
"Yes—"
Responding to Tang Xiong's words, more than twenty martial guards shouted in unison and quickly surrounded the restaurant.
"Xiaoxiao, next, let's identify the killer together."
Seeing that the martial guards had surrounded the Japanese restaurant, Shen Lang looked at the startled Yu Xiao and said.
"Don't be afraid, with Brother Shen here, no one will be able to hurt you anymore."
Shen Lang was worried that Yu Xiao would be scared and comforted her.
"I'm not afraid, I know Brother Shen won't let anyone hurt me."
Yu Xiao smiled upon hearing this.
Soon, Shen Lang and Yu Xiao, along with Tang Xiong and five martial guards, entered the Japanese restaurant.
Tang Xiong and his men clearly had experience in searching locations. Upon entering the store, they addressed everyone, "Everyone, excuse me, sorry to bother you. A young lady was just pushed down the stairs here, and we are now investigating the perpetrator. Please all Yangguo nationals stand out, thank you."
Saying this, Tang Xiong addressed the five martial guards, "You go upstairs and bring all the Yangguo men down to the first floor to gather. Let Miss Yu Xiao identify them one by one. If you encounter any tough individuals who are uncooperative, handle it as you see fit."
There aren't many softies in the Martial Guard Division. Qin Long wasn't, and neither was Tang Xiong, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do this job.
Tang Xiong's subordinates had been through the trenches, and they had seen all sorts of tough customers. Over time, they had themselves become tough.
"Don't worry, Captain, we guarantee no one will get away."
Upon hearing Tang Xiong's words, the five martial guards were confident and composed, then went upstairs.
Shen Lang held Yu Xiao's hand and began to identify the Yangguo men on the first floor: "Xiaoxiao, are they on the first floor?"
"No, none of them are."
Yu Xiao took a glance and realized that the two Yangguo men were not on the first floor.
Hearing this, Shen Lang addressed the people in the living room, "This area is cleared. I will cover your expenses, you are free to leave."
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, the people on the first floor were overjoyed and then left.
As the people on the first floor left, Shen Lang, Yu Xiao, and Tang Xiong waited for those from upstairs to come down, and began identifying them one by one. However, before Shen Lang and Yu Xiao could wait for the people from the second floor to come down, they saw the five martial guards being kicked down the stairs one by one.
"What's going on?"
Seeing his subordinates bruised and battered, Tang Xiong's smile froze, and he shouted, "Who did this?"
"I did."
As Tang Xiong finished speaking, at that moment, a man in a black kimono, extremely handsome, and a bald man walked down the stairs step by step, speaking nonchalantly.
"You are Tang Xiong, the person in charge of this area, right? Let me tell you, you've caused trouble. You've caused big trouble."
The man in the black kimono said to Tang Xiong, "You dare to surround my sushi restaurant with people and dare to let them search around? You've caused serious damage to my business and great harm to the reputation of Yangguo people. No one can save you today."
"What a big mouth, who are you?"
Tang Xiong had been in charge of this area for ten years, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like this. Tang Xiong was furious and laughed.
"Tang Xiong, listen carefully. This is Showa Yuubu, the biological son of the King of Dong'an in Yangguo, and the nephew of the current Yang Emperor."
The bald man standing behind the kimono-clad man heard Tang Xiong's words and said with a furious expression.
Hearing this, Tang Xiong was shocked. He never expected the kimono-clad man to have such a status.
"Xiaoxiao, is it them?"
Tang Xiong was about to say something, but Shen Lang stopped him. Shen Lang smiled at Yu Xiao and asked.
"Yes, Brother Shen, it was them who pushed me down."
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Yu Xiao looked at Showa Yuubu and the bald man, filled with anger.
"Alright, since it's them, then it's easy to talk about."
Hearing Yu Xiao's answer, Shen Lang smiled, then walked step by step in front of Showa Yuubu, and without a word, raised his palm and slammed it towards Showa Yuubu's chest.
"What?"
Showa Yuubu never expected Shen Lang to attack without a word, his face turned pale with fright, but he quickly regained his composure.
"You're asking for death."
Facing Shen Lang's heavy palm, Showa Yuubu stood still and raised his palm to meet it.
Showa Yuubu was confident that his martial arts skills were among the best of the younger generation. A palm strike would be enough to severely injure or even kill Shen Lang. However, he never expected that the moment their palms collided, he would be sent flying by Shen Lang, crashing heavily onto a stone pillar, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Highness—"
Seeing Showa Yuubu injured by Shen Lang, the bald man's face showed shock. He quickly went to support Showa Yuubu and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine... I underestimated him."
Showa Yuubu forcefully wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, shook off the bald man's support, and then walked up to Shen Lang, saying, "Boy, you have quite the nerve to make a move on this prince."
"Quite the nerve? No, next, I will show you what true audaciousness is."
Shen Lang looked at Showa Yuubu and pointed at Yu Xiao, saying, "Do you still recognize my girlfriend? How dare you harm her. Today, let alone some bullshit prince, even if your Supreme Emperor came, I would cut him down with one sword."
With that, Shen Lang's eyes instantly turned like a falcon's, sharp and terrifying. He raised his fist and directly slammed it towards Showa Yuubu.
