Chapter 31: The Gong Family

"It was the one surnamed Ye who bullied people first; Chen Yan was only acting in self-defense!"

"You are Martial Officers of Qingshan Town; you shouldn't be doing this!"

In front of an office door at the Martial Officer Station, a young Martial Officer stood at the entrance, blocking Wang Yang and the hurriedly arrived Chen Yuhu from entering.

Chen Yuhu had worn his lips thin from pleading, yet it was of no use at all.

He had heard the news from Jia Li and rushed over without stopping, yet he couldn't even catch a glimpse of Chen Yan.

To the side, Wang Yang's expression was dim, filled with self-reproach.

Everything was his fault.

Watching Chen Yuhu argue his case, Wang Yang felt even worse:

"Old Chen, I will go find someone tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't let Chen Yan continue to stay in the Iron Prison."

Wang Yang clenched his fists, his mind only thinking of Zhuang Xihang.

He had already signed the divorce agreement, but for Chen Yan's sake, even if he had to kneel, he would beg the other party to help him.

Chen Yuhu glanced at Wang Yang, opened his mouth, and then nodded.

"Chen Yan did it to save me. Everything is my fault; it is my problem," Wang Yang said with a bitter laugh.

"Nonsense!" Chen Yuhu said in a Cold Voice:

"My Son saving you is as it should be; he was right to help you. The one in the wrong is not him, nor is it you."

Chen Yuhu's eyes suppressed a surge of Anger.

The ones in the wrong were the Martial Officer Station, these things that looked down on others with dog eyes.

Wang Yang was Stun for a moment, his heart feeling even more bitter.

"Not wrong?"

A light, cold voice drifted over. Ye Secretary, his head wrapped in gauze, walked over and shouted angrily:

"The little Beast deserves to die. You old Beast, you're here saying he's not wrong?!"

Points of red light flickered on his body; that was the sign of Qi and Blood Manifestation.

Chen Yuhu glared at him and roared:

"Stop blindly showing off that pathetic Qi-Blood of yours! You couldn't even beat my Son; what face do you have to display your Qi-Blood!?"

Ye Secretary choked. The Father was even crazier than the Son. Just as he was about to curse, he saw Xin Gongxian walk over:

"Chen Yuhu, you dare to cause trouble at the Martial Officer Station? Do you want to go in with your Son?"

Chen Yuhu's expression shifted slightly. If he went in, he wouldn't be able to help Chen Yan from the outside. Suppressing his Anger for a moment, Chen Yuhu said:

"I am not causing trouble. I just want to say that my Son is only in high school, and this Ye Secretary is a warrior, after all. How could he have been beaten like this? There must be a misunderstanding."

After Chen Yuhu finished speaking, Ye Secretary's expression became even colder, but Xin Gongxian shouted coldly:

"Whether there is a misunderstanding, do I need you to tell me?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Yuhu indifferently:

"Do you need to doubt whether I handle things precisely!"

He might have needed to be polite to Wang Yang, but for Chen Yuhu, he didn't need to care about anything at all.

This honest, simple man from the Country had always lowered his head when seeing him; now, he actually dared to talk back.

This made him dissatisfied.

If even Chen Yuhu dared to contradict him, wouldn't he, the Station Chief, be worked to death?

To the side, Ye Secretary crossed his arms and snorted coldly:

"Station Chief Xin, this Town of yours is not easy to manage. Last time I saw Chu Lan, they even said you governed well."

Xin Gongxian swept a glance at the other party indifferently. Isn't he just a dog of the Gong Family, acting fierce on the strength of his master every day, thinking he's so impressive?

"Old Chen, let's go back first," Wang Yang said in a low voice. If they angered Xin Gongxian now, things would be even harder for them later.

Chen Yuhu frowned. He could not bow his head; his Son was still in the prison:

"Station Chief Xin, even the Martial Officer Station must act impartially. My Son hit him, but that doesn't warrant being locked directly into the Iron Prison!"

His voice was firm as he met Xin Gongxian's gaze.

He had learned about the True Martial Class from Wang Yang. This concerned Chen Yan's future; he absolutely could not let time be wasted at the Martial Officer Station.

Chen Yan needed to get out.

"You..." Xin Gongxian's expression turned cold:

"Are teaching me how to govern the Martial Officer Station!"

The next moment.

Buzz!

Specks of Blood Red light spilled out from around Xin Gongxian's body. The pressure from a Qi-Blood Warrior instantly enveloped Chen Yuhu.

Wang Yang's expression changed drastically:

"Station Chief Xin, it's just a small matter!"

In an instant, Chen Yuhu felt his whole body wrapped in a wild current, and even breathing became difficult, yet he spoke with a Blood Red face:

"I am not teaching you, but you must at least have... rules when you do things!"

His Son and daughter had suffered consecutive car accidents, and the Martial Officer Station hadn't investigated anything.

His family's storefront had been seized by Xin Gongxian with a single word.

It was the other party who had forced him and his Son onto Qingshan.

His Son had only hit someone, yet he had to be locked in the Iron Prison, not knowing when he would come out.

Xin Gongxian, damn him!

Xin Gongxian's expression became even colder and sharper. He didn't know that this poor man from the countryside still dared to talk back under his pressure.

He only knew that he wanted to teach the other party a lesson right now.

Whether it was the face of the Town Martial Bureau Director or the dignity of being a martial artist, neither was something to be refuted in such a manner.

Beside Xin Gongxian, Ye Secretary began to laugh, looking at Wang Yang and Chen Yuhu with provocation.

Buzz!

Rolling red light appeared, and the light around Xin Gongxian's body began to distort.

"Xin Gongxian, you want to..." Wang Yang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately let out a Low Roar.

"Do what?"

Before Wang Yang could finish his words, another voice from an Elder continued Wang Yang's sentence.

Chirp!

A wisp of Black Light seemed to have been drawn out from the night sky, then floated around Xin Gongxian's body.

When the red light overflowing from Xin Gongxian's body touched this Black Light, it instantly melted and dissipated like ice meeting fire.

The pressure suppressing Chen Yuhu disappeared; Xin Gongxian's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly looked around, shouting in anger:

"Who is it that dares to use force in the Town Martial Bureau!"

"It is I."

The Elder's voice sounded again; Wang Yang and Chen Yuhu only felt their vision blur, and a tall, slender Elder figure appeared before them.

Zhuang Xihang had asked around everywhere and even went to Chen Yan's Jia Li to find him, only then learning that Chen Yan had been locked up in the Town Martial Bureau.

He asked a Mediterranean Martial Officer at the Town Martial Bureau and finally understood what had happened.

"Father-in-... Principal Zhuang!" Wang Yang opened his mouth, a look of pleasant surprise appearing in his eyes at this moment.

"Call me Dad!" Zhuang Xihang glanced at Wang Yang with reproach and apology:

"Why didn't you tell me about you and her earlier? Why didn't you tell me!"

Zhuang Xihang gritted his teeth; only then did he understand why Wang Yang was unwilling to let Wang Xinqian sign the Gong Family Contract, and why Wang Yang had separated from his daughter two years ago.

He had even blamed this matter on Wang Yang for two whole years.

His daughter had actually shamelessly become someone's mistress.

Disappointment, regret, anger!

"Dad..." Wang Yang struggled a bit, but still patted Chen Yuhu beside him:

"This is Zhuang Xihang, Principal of County Second High School."

Chen Yuhu's whole body relaxed, panting heavily; knowing the person before him was here to help Chen Yan, he hurriedly bowed:

"Principal Zhuang!"

Zhuang Xihang nodded, but Xin Gongxian opposite him said indifferently:

"Vice."

Zhuang Xihang looked at Xin Gongxian with mockery: "Even if it is vice, I am at the Mid-Late Five Viscera Realm; may I ask what you are?"

Xin Gongxian's expression turned cold.

Turning his gaze to Ye Secretary, he saw Ye Secretary smiling and greeting him, so Zhuang Xihang shouted:

"Shut your mouth!"

Ye Secretary was stunned; he felt Anger in his heart but dared not vent it.

This person would be his boss's father-in-law.

"Go back and tell Zhuang Yan that I don't have a daughter like her; it's shameful!" Zhuang Xihang shouted in anger.

Ye Secretary's Pupil shrank, and he dared not speak at this moment.

Xin Gongxian's expression changed, only then remembering that Zhuang Xihang's daughter married Gong Qing and would also be a member of the Gong Family:

"Principal Zhuang, what are you doing here?"

"I came to make you release the person." Zhuang Xihang said with a cold face:

"Chen Yan is my student and is going to attend the True Martial Class tomorrow; if you lock him up, who will I teach tomorrow?"

Behind him, Wang Yang's expression changed slightly; when did Chen Yan become his student?

"But as far as I know, Chen Yan is not on the list for the True Martial Class." Xin Gongxian looked surprised, and the matter became tricky.

He vaguely felt a sense of unease.

"You probably don't know that as a teacher of the True Martial Class, I can bring along an Auditor." Zhuang Xihang said, squinting his eyes to size up Xin Gongxian.

Behind him, Chen Yuhu and Wang Yang's expressions turned joyful.

"Auditor?" Xin Gongxian Frown:

"But he hit someone..."

Xin Gongxian looked at Ye Secretary.

"That's right, that little Beast hit me." Ye Secretary said, though he lacked his previous toughness now.

Bang!

A flash of light struck Ye Secretary's body, and the latter slammed into the wall in an instant, sliding down while Howling in pain.

"Then what kind of thing are you? Shouldn't you be hit?" Zhuang Xihang shouted in anger; if it weren't for Chen Yan, Wang Yang would have lost a finger.

"Ah!"

Ye Secretary was Howling; his ribs were broken, and his face was distorted at this moment:

"Old Thing, my boss has changed four wives in three years, and I am his only secretary; do you really think you are something?"

Having been so severely injured, he could no longer care about anything else and began to curse loudly.

"Zhuang Xihang, you have gone too far!" Xin Gongxian Frown, then shouted in a low voice:

"This is the Town Martial Bureau!"

Zhuang Xihang's face was cold; he was furious at this moment.

But the next instant, he frowned and looked up at the ceiling.

"If you are causing trouble, I will even..."

Xin Gongxian said, then shut his mouth and looked around, as if a voice had sounded overhead.

This voice grew louder and gradually became clear.

"Yin Yanjun, you are very good, is this how you manage Luoshan County!"

"This has nothing to do with me, this Xin Gongxian was not appointed by me!"

"Yin Yanjun, you are still shirking responsibility now!!!"

"Luo Puxin, listen to me..."

"You disappoint me!"

"It was Chu Cang, Chu Cang decided it!"

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Gusts of wild wind blew from outside the window, sweeping into the office, causing the documents, pens, and even the ashtray on the desk to shake.

The expressions of everyone present changed instantly; feeling the slight tremor coming from beneath their feet, they ran to the window, only to see two brilliant rays of light, one red and one white, shatter the tranquility of Qingshan, blindingly bright.

Clang, clang, clang!

In the corridor, the half-open door kept knocking against the doorframe under the sweep of the wind and waves.

Xin Gongxian's expression changed instantly, his eyes suddenly widened, and an indescribable panic appeared on his face; he opened his mouth wide and looked around.

The lights in the entire corridor flickered continuously at this moment, overlapping in light and shadow.

In a certain instant, two figures suddenly appeared in front of Xin Gongxian.

Luo Puxin and Yin Yanjun.

"Yin... Chief Yin!"

Seeing the newcomers, Xin Gongxian trembled all over; the other party was at a much higher level than him.

A Town Martial Bureau Director is one level lower than a Deputy Minister of a department in the County True Martial Office.

And Yin Yanjun was a true, bona fide Chief.

And the person beside Yin Yanjun had an aura that was not at all weaker than Yin Yanjun's.

Just now, this person had been scolding Yin Yanjun outside, and Yin Yanjun was clearly the weaker party.

"Instructor Luo, Chief Yin, why have you come?"

To the side, Zhuang Xihang was also very surprised to see the newcomers.

As for Wang Yang and Chen Yuhu, they looked at each other and chose to remain silent; these two were at a level they could not possibly converse with.

"We were called here by Bai Yuyue, the Deputy Minister of the City True Martial Division Military Martial Department." Yin Yanjun's expression was ugly; Luo Puxin had just scolded him very harshly.

The key was that he truly could not refute it.

Glancing coldly at Xin Gongxian, Yin Yanjun continued:

"We are here to pick up Chen Yan."

Click!

Inside the Director's office, the sound of a lighter falling to the ground rang out.

In the corridor, Xin Gongxian's legs went soft, and his body tilted slightly backward, leaning against the wall.

It was as if all his strength had been drained away at once.

His pupils constricted, and at this moment, it felt as if a tide were sweeping through his mind.

The Deputy Minister of the City True Martial Division, that Bai Yuyue, had the County True Martial Division Chief come in person to pick up Chen Yan!

And this Chen Yan was currently being locked in the Iron Prison by him.

"Here to pick up Chen Yan?" Zhuang Xihang's expression was astonished; he could not fathom this no matter how he thought about it.

Behind him, Wang Yang and Chen Yuhu also wore expressions of shock.

"My Son... what did he do?" Chen Yuhu spoke, feeling that things had escalated significantly.

How could his own son attract such figures?

"Chen Yan is very good." Luo Puxin looked at Chen Yuhu—the other party likely didn't realize they were old classmates—and continued to smile:

"Your son is a genius, a genuine Horizontal Refinement genius!"

"Hm?" Chen Yuhu opened his mouth; a smile appeared at the corners of his lips, but he could not laugh at this moment.

Because the shock was just too great.

Opposite them, Xin Gongxian and Ye Secretary were completely dazed; both of their bodies stiffened and they froze in place.

"Just how much of a genius is he?" Zhuang Xihang was stunned; he knew Chen Yan was a Horizontal Refinement genius, but was it not a bit excessive to have a Chief come to pick him up?

Had he perhaps not seen Chen Yan clearly?

"Zhuang Xihang, don't ask anymore, you will know in the future." Yin Yanjun smiled, then his smile faded as he looked at Xin Gongxian.

"Ha!" Xin Gongxian opened his mouth wide but could not make a sound; he forced out an extremely ugly smile:

"It turns out to be a misunderstanding, ha..."

"A misunderstanding?" Luo Puxin narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, it is a misunderstanding. With all due respect to the two superiors, Chen Yan killed someone today, so I..." Xin Gongxian was saying.

Boom!

Luo Puxin slapped his palm onto Xin Gongxian's shoulder; the latter felt as if a mountain had smashed onto his shoulder, his legs went soft, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Whether it is a misunderstanding, do you think I wouldn't know?" Rolling force poured from Luo Puxin's hand into Xin Gongxian's body:

"You've become addicted to playing Jidu here, to the point where we have to kneel when we see you."

Luo Puxin glared fiercely at the panic-stricken Xin Gongxian and kicked him in the thigh once more.

"Ah!" Xin Gongxian let out a loud cry; this kick did not break his thigh, but it brought with it an agonizing, heart-piercing pain that sent him sprawling to the ground.

To the side, Yin Yanjun said coldly:

"You will no longer be the director; I will report this to the city, and the Xian will also conduct a thorough investigation into you."

Inside the Corridor, Xin Gongxian, who was still crying out in pain, instantly froze; he looked at Yin Yanjun pleadingly, only to see the other man take a deep breath and bark:

"If you are able to continue in this position, then I won't be able to stay in mine."

Xin Gongxian's face turned ashen.

To the side, seeing Luo Puxin look toward him, Ye Secretary's face turned suddenly Pale:

"My boss is from the Gong Family..."

"Gong Hangwen?" Luo Puxin narrowed his eyes.

"Ah?" Ye Secretary opened his Mouth wide; his boss was merely a collateral branch member, how could he possibly compare to Gong Hangwen.

Suddenly, breathing became difficult; just as Ye Secretary was about to speak, Luo Puxin delivered a Mammoth kick to his thigh.

Crack!

It broke.

"Ah!!!" Ye Secretary shrieked.

Then Luo Puxin barked:

"A dirty dog of Gong Hangwen—that is exactly who I love to beat the most!"
