Ling Ping'an carried the things he had bought and hurried. Finally, he caught up with a bus.
He got on the bus and swiped the QR code. Ling Ping'an found a place and sat down.
Meow!
His pet lay at his feet and meowed obediently, as if it was very grateful.
Ling Ping'an reached out and patted its head.
The bus started.
Diwu...
Diwu...
The siren of a police car came from afar.
Ling Ping'an looked out and saw a police car driving over from the other side of the road.
"The police are really fast..." Ling Ping'an nodded and praised himself for being quick-witted.
If he stayed there any longer, he would probably not be able to do anything today.
Taking notes, questioning, signing...
Thinking about similar plots he had seen on TV, his head was a little big.
He hated trouble!
Even going shopping was a punishment, let alone waiting like this?
But...
Diwu... Diwu...
Another police car appeared.
Ling Ping'an raised his eyebrows.
At the intersection in front of them, armed police with riot shields appeared.
Thus, Ling Ping'an knew that something big had happened!
"Could it be a murder case?" He scratched his head.
He had only seen such a scene a few times in his life.
The bus slowly drove through the intersection. It did not encounter any checks. Only a police officer looked at it and let it go.
… …
Ma Baobao looked at his hand.
He felt the contact not long ago.
The shadowless palm and inner strength that he had immersed in for decades disappeared without a trace the moment he touched that young man.
Not only that...
The inner strength in his dantian had also disappeared without a trace.
It was as if it had been sucked dry by something.
That made his hair stand on end.
At this moment, the phone rang.
Ma Baobao subconsciously picked it up.
"Old Ma, what happened to you?" On the other end of the phone, the voice of the person he had bribed came, "Why did you let him go?"
Ma Baobao listened, thought for a moment, and asked, "Help me ask Young Master Ao..."
"Is there a secret technique that can make people's inner strength disappear out of thin air?"
The other party listened, but he was baffled.
At this moment.
Diwu... Diwu...
A police car drove over from the opposite side.
Ma Baobao looked at the police car. The police car stopped in front of him.
A police officer wearing a Federal Empire police uniform got out of the car. There was a special emblem on his straight police uniform.
It was the emblem that symbolized the Blackguard.
The police officer walked straight to Ma Baobao and expressionlessly showed him an arrest warrant. "Criminal Ma Baobao …"
"Your actions have seriously endangered national security!"
"According to the internal rules of the Blackguard, you are under arrest!"
He walked forward and put a pair of custom-made shackles on Ma Baobao's hands.
Ma Baobao raised his head and looked at him.
He understood that the Blackguard had this authority!
This was because this department was a violent organization that specialized in dealing with special affairs.
They only dealt with special cases and never involved normal cases.
But …
Criminal?
Wasn't he a suspect?
Also …
Seriously endangering national security?
What did I do?
Ma Baobao frowned. That young man just now?
I didn't do anything to him!
How did it seriously endanger national security?
Ma Baobao opened his mouth and said, "I want to see a lawyer!"
This was a power that even the Blackguard could not deprive!
And he happened to know a few lawyers who specialized in dealing with the Blackguard. These people specialized in studying the internal discipline and system of the Blackguard.
They knew how to take advantage of loopholes and find loopholes.
However, the police officer smiled. "Lawyer?"
"Hehe …"
"Your actions have caused you to be stripped of all your power!"
He directly grabbed Ma Baobao and stuffed him into the police car.
Ma Baobao had no strength to resist in front of the senior law enforcement officers of the Blackguard.
He was stuffed into the police car and was about to protest when he saw the driver sitting in the police car.
That was Xia Ping, the chief of the Blackguard branch in Jiangcheng City.
"Chief Xia..." Ma Baobao immediately revealed a fawning smile.
However, Xia Ping looked at him as if he was looking at a dead man, his eyes filled with disgust.
Ma Baobao had an intuition that if it was possible, the chief of the Blackguard would slap him to death.
"What happened to me?" Ma Baobao finally panicked.
Even Xia Ping was alarmed!
Why was this matter so serious?
Who was that young man?!
Could he be the illegitimate son of the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard?
No!
Even if he was an illegitimate son, it wouldn't be so exaggerated!
Could it be …
Was he the descendant of the late Emperor?
"What happened to you?" Xia Ping was so angry that he laughed. "What you did almost destroyed the world!"
Ma Baobao was stunned.
How did I destroy the world?
What did I do to destroy the world?
… …
"The lackeys of the Six Fan School..." Young Master Ao looked at the police car and cursed in his heart.
For a second-generation demon like him.
The Blackguard was the Six Fan School.
It was the lackeys of the imperial court that obstructed heroes like them. They were the villains in novels!
Unfortunately …
Reality was not like that.
In wuxia novels, the Six Fan School was the sworn enemy of all the heroes in the pugilistic world.
As long as it was possible, everyone would compete to make trouble for the Six Fan School.
But the reality was that the Blackguard was the strongest.
Any random general would be an existence that would beat up other heroes in the pugilistic world.
As for the commander-in-chief, he was invincible in the world!
Therefore, the heroes could only obediently lower their heads, put away their claws, and dress up as law-abiding citizens.
Because if they did not abide by the law, they would die!
"Unlucky..." he watched Ma Baobao being pushed into the police car and heard the siren of the police car.
Young Master Ao immediately turned around.
He could not stay here for long!
He did not want his father to go to the yamen to fish him out.
If that was the case, he would definitely be beaten to death when he went back!
But …
Young Master Ao had just taken two steps forward when he suddenly stopped.
Because he could feel that people were coming from all the tunnels.
He was very smart. He immediately covered his head with both hands and squatted down. At the same time, he removed all the spirit weapons on his body and restrained the psionic power in his body.
That was the correct reaction that the foreign species had been taught after dealing with the Blackguard for two hundred years!
Because foreign species were dangerous targets with transcendent being abilities.
Therefore, the Blackguard was authorized to use all means to enforce the law if they believed that their or the public's safety was threatened!
And the foreign species that violated the law were already marked as' unsafe individuals' by the Blackguard the moment they violated the law.
Therefore, in the process of enforcing the law, once they encountered resistance or even just suspected that there might be resistance.
Especially in such a crowded public place.
In order to prevent the innocent from being hurt.
The Blackguard would usually use the fastest and safest method to enforce the law.
Was there any faster and safer way to enforce the law than to kill the suspect?
And the people behind Young Master Ao also understood something at this moment.
They all learned from Young Master Ao, squatted down, covered their heads with both hands, and put down everything that might be dangerous.
No one wanted to be suspected of 'possibly endangering public safety'.
Everyone knew the consequences of that.
Tap, tap, tap.
The loud sound of military boots came in front of him.
Young Master Ao raised his head and saw an expressionless major.
He smiled, "Sir, what's the matter?"
The other party refused to even reply.
With a wave of his hand, more than ten Blackguards in police uniforms immediately stepped forward and put spirit handcuffs on everyone's hands.
Then, black bags were put on them one by one.
… …
When he returned to the shop, it was almost ten o'clock.
Ling Ping'an pulled the shutter door.
Then, he put the things he was carrying behind the counter.
Then, he collapsed on the chair.
"So tired... so tired..."
Although, he actually didn't feel tired at all.
But...
That was his habit, a kind of self-psychological guidance.
It was meant to hint to himself not to work so hard.
Meow!
The kitten, Bastet, was rubbing against his feet intimately and rolling around very cutely.
It seemed that Ling Ping'an's act of protecting it today had touched the little guy very much.
Ling Ping'an looked at it and chuckled.
Then, he picked up the little guy and stroked its head, "Little darling is also very valuable..."
"Two million... tsk tsk..."
He recalled the old man's offer.
Two million?
It was really a huge sum of money!
But he understood that it was a trap.
Because it was impossible for a pie to fall from the sky!
Anything that went against common sense only meant one possibility -- the other party had other intentions!
"It's about two million West Kunlun dollars..." Ling Ping'an smiled.
The West Kunlun Republic had been at war for a long time.
Its legal currency was a well-known joke.
When Ling Ping'an was in university, this joke was already known to everyone.
If he remembered correctly, the currency of West Kunlun, at its worst, only one billion could be exchanged for a dime of the Federal Empire...
Therefore, Ling Ping'an felt that the so-called two million was the truth.
And what was even more terrifying was that the other party was not even willing to give this small amount of money. Instead, it was a series of traps.
There were many similar scam traps on TV.
Rich women begging for children, Qin Shi Huang giving money...
Once it started, under the influence of greed, people's rationality would be completely stripped away, and their IQ would directly drop to negative numbers.
Then, they would foolishly be cheated of everything.
Meow!
The kitten stuck out its tongue and licked the back of its master's hand. Obviously, it agreed with this.
… …
Situ He put down the phone and looked up at the surveillance screen.
On the left was the arrest scene.
In front of the police cars, suspects wearing black bags filed out.
The onlookers pointed at them.
Gossip was flying everywhere.
And on the other side, there was the mysterious and dangerous bookstore. Everything was very calm.
However, Situ He knew that this was just on the surface.
The commander-in-chief had also said it just now.
He told him to keep his spirits up and not give others a handle!
He had to stand firm and strictly enforce the law.
Situ He understood. What did that mean?
The owner of the bookstore let go and turned around.
The meaning was very obvious -- I'll give you face!
Face was usually very fragile.
It was the same as trust!
A little flaw would lead to a clean fall.
More importantly, now, he was willing to give face and let the Blackguard deal with it.
And this face, if it was humiliated and trampled on.
Guess what would happen?
Anger out of humiliation!
No!
Directly start a war!
I gave you face, but you didn't cherish it.
I asked you to be decent, but you didn't.
Then, I have no choice but to teach you what it means to cherish it and what it means to be decent!
At that time, it would really be too late!
Therefore, Situ He picked up the phone and dialed Xia Ping's number. "Director Xia... This is Situ He... All the criminals, after being brought back, directly transfer them to the Jiangcheng City army base..."
"I'll personally take over the interrogation!"
Situ He knew that there was a difficult problem in front of him now.
This difficult problem was how to balance the law and the other party's face.
After all, the Blackguard also had their own persistence and pride.
The other party was very strong, and it seemed that he could not be defeated!
But...
In relationships, one had to control the degree well.
Because, if one was willing to be lowly, then one would really be lowly.
A person who lost his personality would eventually not be treated as a human.
Just like the current matter, Situ He could roughly guess some things without the interrogation.
Therefore, he needed to grasp the degree of this.
The law and the system had to be respected.
The other party also had to be given enough face!
This was very difficult!
But he had to do it no matter how difficult it was!
Situ He stood up and paced back and forth in the quiet room.
"The difficulty of this matter is... I don't know, his attitude and opinion..."
Go and ask?
It was not appropriate!
Because this involved dignity, and it was even more related to national dignity and sovereignty.
Situ He knew very well that once such a thing started, the Blackguard would inevitably become the other party's vassal and become a yes-man who would only follow his orders.
If that was the case, where would the high sect's orders, the pride and dignity of the Blackguard be placed?
Therefore, it was very important to maintain one's own independence and dignity!
This was a kind of attitude!
It was also a kind of silent declaration.
I admit that you are very strong!
I also admit that I am not your match!
But...
How can a man bend his knees to flatter the powerful?
Respect is mutual.
I respect your strength and recognize your ability.
However, I also have my perseverance and pride.
That was the Blackguard!
Since its establishment, countless Blackguard had sacrificed and paid.
Thousands of sages had used their flesh and blood to forge the dignity of the Blackguard.
This dignity could not be trampled in his hands.
If that was the case, in the future when they reached the underworld, those heroes who had sacrificed their lives would ask, "Situ He, how is the country now? How is the Blackguard? "
How would he answer?
Could he tell them that the Blackguard was now a vassal, a yes-man?
However, Situ He was not a stubborn person.
He also understood that for such a strong person, face was very important.
Especially when the other party had already shown respect for the Blackguard.
The moment he let go, the moment he turned around.
That was his attitude!
I respect you!
Please respect me too!
"So... the key is face..."
The other party's face, the Blackguard's face.
Everyone's face!
These were all very important things.
Fortunately, to the other party, this matter might actually be insignificant.
He might only want an attitude.
Thinking of this, Situ He's eyes slowly lit up.
"Why didn't I think of that?"
He picked up the phone and dialed the imperial capital again.
