Chapter 711 - 613: Chen Shangliang's Business Allies (First Update)
"Disciple, what's the situation on your side?"
Wu Zetian's voice came through Divine Sense.
"We've already captured Chen Hong, let's go back."
Yang Tian said, then he and Wu Yue picked up Chen Hong and brought her back.
At the foot of the mountain.
Chen Shangzheng, guarding Chen Shangliang, saw Yang Tian and the others bring back Chen Hong, accompanied by a dozen young men and women.
These young men and women were clearly aristocratic disciples from the Capital City at a glance.
For a moment, Chen Shangzheng's eyes lit up: "Have all the missing people been found?"
"That's right, all of this was orchestrated by Chen Hong!" Wu Yue said, "Chen Hong was the leader of the bandits. She kidnapped many aristocratic children from the Capital City to unite against the Chen Family, so people would support Chen Shangliang ascending to the position of Chen Clan Leader!"
"What? If this is true, then the game Second Brother has played is larger than I imagined!"
Chen Shangzheng was also shocked.
"Now let's send them to the Chen Family for interrogation later."
Yang Tian said lightly.
"Send them to the Chen Family? Not the police station?"
Xiao Meng was puzzled.
"These are the internal matters of the Chen Family, let the Chen Family handle them."
Yang Tian said lightly.
"Oh."
Xiao Meng nodded and didn't oppose further.
Xiao Meng took out her phone to call the police, and within less than ten minutes, over a dozen police cars arrived, enthusiastically taking the aristocratic disciples to the police station, then notifying their parents to come and claim them.
Meanwhile, Yang Tian, taking Chen Hong and Chen Shangliang, headed towards the Chen Family.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Tian sent Xiao Meng and the other officers back.
The journey was peaceful.
But as they entered the city, Yang Tian noticed something unusual. There were fewer and fewer cars on both sides of the road. He used Divine Sense to probe ahead, furrowing his brows: "The road ahead is blocked."
"Blocked? Who has the power to block a road within the city?"
Wu Yue asked.
"I'm not sure, but it's clear they are targeting us."
Yang Tian said lightly.
"Should we turn around?"
Chen Shangzheng asked uneasily.
"No need, I want to see who has such power to block roads in the city without going through the police!"
Yang Tian motioned for everyone to keep driving forward.
Soon, they arrived at the end of the road, seeing over a dozen luxury sports cars parked there, blocking the road. There were Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugatti Veyrons, etc.
In front of the sports cars stood more than a dozen middle-aged men.
These middle-aged men were all aristocrats, dressed in fine clothing, slightly plump, ruddy-skinned, clearly high society figures.
Behind the middle-aged men stood a group of suited men who looked like bodyguards.
"Quite a forceful presence, seems like all the aristocrats from the Capital City have moved out to stop us?"
Wu Yue asked.
"It's possible!" Chen Shangzheng nodded, "After all, they are closest to Second Brother. If something happens to him, they may suffer as well!"
"Simple enough." Yang Tian shrugged, got off, and walked forward: "In the middle of the night, blocking roads like this is disturbing the public, isn't it?"
"You are Yang Tian?"
A middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
"That's right, it's me."
Yang Tian stopped, standing firm like a gate that no one could pass.
"We have fifty million here; if you hand over Chen Shangliang and Chen Hong to us, the money is yours!"
A middle-aged man clapped his hands, and a bodyguard threw a few cash boxes over.
As one of the cash boxes hit the ground, it opened with a snap, scattering red bills on the floor.
"So, you're here for Chen Shangliang?"
Yang Tian asked with interest.
"That's right, Yang Tian, we have no conflicts. I know you want to take Chen Shangliang back to the Chen Family, but we only need him for half an hour. After half an hour, we'll return him to you intact."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Oh?"
A cold smile flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.
The aristocrats before him came just to chat with Chen Shangliang for half an hour?
Yang Tian thought it was laughable: "Chatting with you so-called high society is really boring. How about this--come up and fight directly. If you defeat me, I'll let you take him."
"You are really arrogant!"
The middle-aged man's face turned angry, and he waved his hand.
A group of black-suited men surged forward towards Yang Tian.
"A bunch of trash!"
Yang Tian's figure flickered, rushing up.
In less than a minute, six or seven men were all on the ground.
Instantly, the watching crowd exclaimed: "My God, he's amazing! He knocked down seven men in one go!"
The few aristocratic middle-aged men exchanged glances, clapped their hands, and their bodyguards threw more cash boxes towards Yang Tian, shouting to the crowd: "The money is yours, whoever grabs it gets it!"
"What? The money is ours? Oh my God, the rich are throwing money!"
The crowd, already large, surged forward, frantically grabbing money.
Instantly, Yang Tian and the others were surrounded by the crowd.
"Master's wife, let's not act against civilians, use two Body-Stabilizing Talismans on Chen Shangliang and Chen Hong."
Yang Tian raised his voice.
"Great idea! Once the talismans are used, Chen Shangliang and Chen Hong can't move, no one can take them away!"
Wu Yue praised, quickly crafting two Body-Stabilizing Talismans, applying them to Chen Shangliang and Chen Hong.
Her talismans were Spirit Breath Calming Talismans.
Once applied, Chen Shangliang and Chen Hong would be firmly stuck at that point on Earth, unable to be taken even by car.
After doing all this, Wu Yue said: "Yang Tian, watching people grab money shows the ugly side of human nature at its peak."
Yang Tian stepped out of the crowd, landing on a pedestrian bridge, observing the situation below.
The whole scene was utter chaos.
Citizens surged forward, frantically grabbing money off the ground. Those who couldn't get it started fighting; the scene quickly descended into chaos.
Yang Tian did not interfere.
After all, this was a matter for the citizens themselves.
Very soon, Yang Tian noticed a few men heading towards the Mercedes where Chen Shangliang and Chen Hong were, eyes flashing a cold smile, looking across to see the dozen aristocrats jumping into luxury cars and quickly roaring away.
"Weird, why did these rich guys all leave?"
Voices of confusion arose from the crowd.
"Yang Tian, weird, weren't they supposed to save Chen Shangliang? Why did they leave?"
Wu Yue asked, puzzled.
Yang Tian did not answer Wu Yue but probed the men approaching the Mercedes. Quickly, in a few of the men's backpacks, Yang Tian found bombs. Instantly, Yang Tian said: "They weren't here to save Chen Shangliang; they came to kill him!"
"What?!!" Chen Shangzheng's face changed: "They are Second Brother's business allies, not here to save him, but to kill him?"
