Chapter 126: The Reckoning

Chen Che pushed his speed to the limit, but he could not help that Fu Lang's family was right beside Du Chuan; seeing Du Chuan about to pull the trigger, it was too late to save the three of them!

Chen Che gritted his teeth, held up two fingers, and prepared to risk triggering the Great Red Sun Poison to kill Du Chuan!

Yet at this moment, Wang Jiang, who had been stunned, moved!

True Qi swirled around Wang Jiang's body as he slapped Du Chuan across his ferocious face.

"Slap!"

"Boom!"

Du Chuan's face was twisted by the blow, and his entire body flew out, slamming into the wall; the submachine gun in his hand was also jerked, the muzzle roaring toward the ceiling a few times, leaving Fu Lang's family safe and sound!

Chen Che looked surprised, arrived on the floor, and quickly cast a strand of True Qi, which transformed into a Protective Shield, enveloping Fu Lang's family.

Afterward, he looked at Wang Jiang with a puzzled expression, but Wang Jiang plopped to his knees on the ground and said, "Du Chuan colluded with the Martial Arts Alliance, kidnapped innocent civilians, and is guilty of heinous crimes. Patrol Justice Commander Wang Jiang abandons darkness for light; I beg you, sir, to spare my life!"

Chen Che's brow relaxed, and he understood in his heart.

Wang Jiang and Cao Qiang were Du Chuan's confidants; they knew everything Du Chuan had done.

Chen Che's words, aimed at the heart, had caused Wang Jiang's resolve to tremble, and upon hearing that people from Beijing were about to arrive, he had completely broken down!

Wang Jiang knew very well that he could not survive the things Du Chuan had done, but he wanted to live!

And his only hope was Chen Che!

So he decided to turn against Du Chuan and help Chen Che, hoping Chen Che would let him off the hook!

"Wang Jiang, you actually betrayed me!?"

Du Chuan climbed up from the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and cursed angrily, "You two-faced traitor!"

"Director Du, the situation is lost; just accept it."

Wang Jiang frowned, looking at Du Chuan with a face full of pity!

"Accept it, my ass! You believe whatever he says?! Where are the people from Beijing?!"

Du Chuan roared wildly.

Swish, swish, swish...

At this moment, the warriors who had been lying in ambush on the surrounding floors swarmed over, all subconsciously aiming their guns at Chen Che!

They had all been moved by Chen Che's previous words, so when Chen Che leaped up, none of them followed Du Chuan's lead to open fire on Chen Che.

But the news transmitted via radio by the warrior responsible for keeping watch claimed that no one had come here, let alone anyone from Beijing!

This discovery left them wavering, unsure whether Chen Che's words were true or false.

If it were false and no one from Beijing came, then letting Chen Che hurt Du Chuan would result in them being disciplined; but if it were true, then helping Du Chuan would be aiding a tyrant!

When people are in a dilemma, the standard approach is to muddle through.

They could not fail to help Du Chuan, but they could not hurt Chen Che either. So these people raised their guns and surrounded him, looking aggressive, but in reality, they were just putting on a show.

Hearing Du Chuan's words, Wang Jiang was also stunned. He realized he had knelt too readily; a guilty conscience had caused his mind to fail to turn the corner for a moment.

But things had reached this point, and he could only gamble—gamble that what Chen Che said was true!

However, the sentry's timely transmission gave everyone the answer and dealt Du Chuan a heavy blow!

"A motorcade is approaching, a motorcade is approaching; the lead vehicle is... it's a special license plate starting with 'Jing'!"

The sentry located on the roof of the unfinished building saw the massive motorcade approaching through binoculars, and upon seeing those special plates, he was so shocked he trembled all over and shouted it out!

Swish, swish, swish...

The Patrol Bureau Warriors crowded on the same floor all heard the sentry's report over the radio.

At this moment, everyone realized that what Chen Che said was true!

"Impossible, this is impossible! You have been in Shanghai the whole time, and the people around you have also been in Shanghai the whole time; how could you possibly have sent the evidence to Beijing!?"

Du Chuan was terrified, roaring in disbelief as he questioned Chen Che!

"Vroom, vroom, vroom..."

The answer to him was the humming of the motorcade's engines!

They had arrived!

"Screech—screech—..."

The sound of harsh braking followed, then the sound of car doors opening, the sound of personnel getting out one after another, and the sound of gun bolts being pulled—all reached everyone's ears.

Lin Su accompanied a man and a woman, two officers wearing Patrol Bureau uniforms, and under the escort of Patrol Bureau Warriors transferred from another region, they slowly walked into the unfinished building.

"Du Chuan, we have already obtained the evidence of your crimes; abandon your resistance and strive for a lighter sentence!"

The call came over a megaphone, and Du Chuan was once again shaken to his core; he fell back onto the ground, his expression one of astonishment.

"It really is the people from the Beijing Patrol Bureau!"

"Chen Che was telling the truth; Director Du actually colluded with the Martial Arts Alliance!"

"He usually lectured us about upholding justice, speaking so righteously, yet he was the one colluding with the Alliance! How detestable!"

"That's right, he isn't fit to be our Director; he isn't even fit to be in the Patrol Bureau! Having such a superior and colleague is a disgrace to our people!"

The Patrol Bureau Warriors, who finally knew the truth at this moment, were all filled with righteous indignation, denouncing and spurning Du Chuan.

Wang Jiang, meanwhile, was beaming with joy because he had bet correctly! Now Chen Che would surely remember that he had saved Fu Lang's family and let him off the hook!

However, the ideal was plump, but the reality was skinny!

Chen Che walked slowly toward Du Chuan; his expression showed neither joy nor anger, yet he radiated an aloof and overbearing majesty.

Seeing Chen Che walking back toward him, Du Chuan knew the situation was lost; Chen Che was going to start settling scores with him!

"You... don't come over, I... I have already abandoned my resistance, and I haven't harmed you or your family now; if you attack me again, it will be excessive defense and personal retaliation... The people from the Beijing Patrol Bureau are right here, they won't allow you to..."

Du Chuan was trembling all over with fear; he had witnessed the ruthless methods Chen Che used on Cao Qiang, and at this moment, he was scared out of his wits by the majesty Chen Che radiated, terrified beyond measure, so he attempted to use the people from the Beijing Patrol Bureau to pressure him and avoid physical suffering.

However, Chen Che did not care at all what he said; he stepped on his left ankle, forcibly cutting off his words.

"Crack!"

With his left ankle broken, Du Chuan's eyes widened; before he could even scream, Chen Che directly dislocated his jaw, making it so he couldn't cry out even if he wanted to!

"You said before that you wanted to break every bone in my body; that's nothing. But you shouldn't have kidnapped my family, harmed them, and intimidated them. That is the only thing I cannot tolerate, understand?"

Chen Che smiled, simultaneously exerting force with his foot, and with another *crack*, Du Chuan's right ankle was broken too.

Du Chuan's body convulsed and his eyes rolled back, but Chen Che did not stop there.

Chen Che extended a finger and poked around Du Chuan's body like a dragonfly skimming the water; the others couldn't understand what he was doing, but Wang Jiang, being a Martial Artist, knew.

Chen Che's fingertip was gathered with True Qi; every time he tapped Du Chuan's body, the True Qi would pierce directly through skin and flesh to shatter the bones.

Du Chuan looked fine, but in reality, every bone in his body had been shattered!

This ruthless method made Wang Jiang shiver, his heart turning cold!

After finishing all this, Chen Che set Du Chuan's jaw back into place, and Du Chuan immediately let out a heart-wrenching wail:

"Ah!!! It hurts, it hurts! All the bones in my body are broken!!"

Hearing Du Chuan's miserable screams in astonishment, everyone present, except for Wang Jiang, was shocked.

They all remembered that not long ago, Du Chuan had threatened to break every bone in Chen Che's body, yet now, the one whose bones were all broken was Du Chuan himself!

"Xiao Che..."

"Brother Chen Che..."

Beyond their shock, the Fu Lang family felt a sense of relief; Du Chuan had finally received the punishment he deserved, and they were saved!

They all looked at Chen Che's upright back, their faces filled with smiles of relief and reassurance!

Moreover, they had heard Chen Che's words just now clearly; Chen Che regarded them as family and would not allow anyone to harm them!

Chen Che's heartfelt yet unforced words made their noses sting, and their eyes instantly welled up with hot tears.

"Chen Che, I was wrong. I shouldn't have harmed your family. Kill me, don't torture me like this. I don't want to become a cripple and spend my whole life in the prison of the Justice Department!"

Du Chuan slumped on the ground like a pile of mush, begging bitterly: "I beg you, kill me, I beg you, kill me!!"

"Boom!"

Chen Che kicked Du Chuan unconscious and dug at his ear with disgust: "So noisy!"

With Du Chuan passed out, Chen Che turned his head to look at Wang Jiang, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Chen Che's gaze projected over, and Wang Jiang couldn't help but shudder. He immediately knelt and prostrated on the ground, begging humbly: "Mr. Chen, I was deceived by Du Chuan and had no intention of harming your family. Please, for the sake of me pulling back from the brink, spare my dog life!"

Chen Che sneered: "Your actions just now did indeed save your life, but that does not mean what you did can be written off."

Wang Jiang's body shook, and he kowtowed forcefully, *thud, thud*, begging for mercy: "Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life!"

Chen Che flipped his palm and flicked his finger, shooting a wisp of True Qi into Wang Jiang's skull.

Wang Jiang's body shook violently, terrified, and then his face turned pained as the True Qi inside his body dissipated in an instant.

"I have crippled your cultivation; you are now just an ordinary warrior. Jump down from here now; whether you live or die, the matter between us is written off!"

Chen Che's tone was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Thank you, sir, for the grace of not killing me!"

Wang Jiang kowtowed heavily, then gritted his teeth and resolutely jumped down toward the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Thud!"

A dull thud followed; the spot where Wang Jiang landed was right at the feet of two Beijing Justice Department officers who were preparing to head upstairs.

Both of them were startled by this sudden scene; they frowned one after another and looked up.
