At this juncture, the person who dared to touch the Governor's daughter must have some kind of intention. It was very likely that Governor Cheng's achievements in the past two days would be reduced to nothing, and he would become extremely passive.
Yang Qifei thought for a moment and finally decided to take a compromise. He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number. "Chief Liu, this is Yang Qifei. I need your help. Governor Cheng's daughter, Chen Xiaolu, is a reporter in our city's TV station …"
…
Chief Liu's face was cold. After hanging up the phone, he immediately checked the surveillance cameras along the way from Hongyang Road to the Governor's Mansion.
The Water Moon Bay villa area where Anival's family lived was on Hongyang Road, located in the downtown area, less than three kilometers away from the Governor's Mansion.
The surveillance showed that 40 minutes ago, after Chen Xiaolu came out of Anival's house, she stood on the side of the road to hail a taxi. But because this was a villa area, taxis rarely came here to pick up passengers.
Chen Xiaolu waited for a long time, but there was no taxi. It just happened that it was snowing lightly. She ran across the road with her bag on her head, and at the same time, ran out of the view of the surveillance cameras.
"What's the opposite of the Water Moon Bay villa area?"
Chief Liu asked with a very serious expression.
"It's a construction site."
The police officer in charge of retrieving the surveillance footage seemed to be very familiar with that area. Without thinking, he replied, "Hongyang Road is not the main road. The people who live in the villa at Water Moon Bay are all rich. Basically, they all have private cars. Apart from sending people off, few people will go there to solicit passengers. I guess the girl realized this, so she wanted to take a shortcut and directly pass through this construction site to Beixi Road to take a taxi."
Chief Liu was a little surprised and said, "What's your name? You seem to be very familiar with that place."
"Leader, my name is Zhang Kun. My family used to live in that construction site, but now that it's being demolished, I'm temporarily renting a house outside, so I'm very familiar with that place. I know that through the construction site, you can directly reach Beixi Road. Beixi Road is the main road, and it's much easier to take a taxi there."
The police officer explained a little shyly.
"It turns out that you're a relocated household. No wonder."
Chief Liu nodded in understanding. "Is there a surveillance camera at the construction site exit of Beixi Road?"
Zhang Kun looked embarrassed. "There is no surveillance camera at the exit. Only at the intersection of Beixi Road and Xishan Road, which is more than 200 meters north."
"Let me have a look."
Head Liu's heart sank as he spoke with a fluke in his heart.
Although Zhang Kun didn't know why Director Liu paid so much attention to that girl, he must unconditionally cooperate with the superior leader's request. He skillfully manipulated the mouse and brought up the surveillance cameras at the intersection of Beixi Road and Xishan Road.
It was just that the traffic surveillance at the intersection could only see cars coming and going. How could they find Chen Xiaolu's figure?
Chief Liu frowned. There were no surveillance cameras at the exit of the construction site. It was impossible to determine if something had happened to Chen Xiaolu just by looking at the traffic cameras. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Little Zhang, you are more familiar with that area. Think carefully. Is there any private or shop near the exit of the construction site on Beixi Road that has installed surveillance cameras?"
Zhang Kun looked like he was reminiscing. After thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up. "The construction site is surrounded by walls, so there are definitely no surveillance cameras. However, there is a family member of a labor contractor near the construction site who runs a small tobacco store. He also cooks for the construction site workers. I bought cigarettes there once and saw that there were surveillance cameras installed, but I'm not sure if they were turned on or not."
"Okay, now take me there. If we can find some clues, I will remember your merit."
Chief Liu's eyes lit up. He patted Zhang Kun's shoulder in surprise and promised. Although he could not confirm whether the surveillance cameras were turned on or not, at least it was a hope.
"I will ask for leave from the leader and lead the way for you."
Zhang Kun was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and said excitedly.
"You don't need to ask for leave. I will tell him later."
Chief Liu was so anxious that he had no time to waste. He waved his hand and said in an unquestionable tone.
…
A shadow ran wildly from south to north on the street of Wushi like the wind and lightning at an incredible speed.
Occasionally, some pedestrians noticed it. However, when they looked carefully, they only saw fine snowflakes falling from the sky. There was no shadow at all. They just thought they were dazzled.
Ding Ning didn't leave without saying goodbye. It was just that after he called Wu Xia, he suddenly noticed that there was a fierce battle in the northern suburbs of Wushi.
Ordinary people couldn't detect it, but as an expert of the Holy Martial Arts Realm who practiced the All Living Things Breathing Method, he was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
If it was just a duel between experts, then so be it. He did not have the time to care about other people's business. However, he clearly sensed a familiar aura from the fluctuations of the battle.
This was because the familiar aura belonged to Xiahou Weiyang, the Country Guarding Martial Marquis. However, this was not the key point. The key point was that he sensed that Xiahou Weiyang was at a disadvantage in the battle. His aura was extremely unstable, as if he had been injured.
This surprised him. It should be known that Xiahou Weiyang had just broken through to the Holy Martial Arts Realm. His own battle strength was extremely strong. He really couldn't understand who could injure him.
Therefore, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Diba. He also didn't care about shocking the world. He just ran straight to the northern suburbs.
At this moment, Tian Peng's extreme speed was displayed to the extreme. His figure turned into a series of afterimages, which ordinary people couldn't detect.
In a Yueda Kia SUV that was blocked on the road because of the snow, a young man was holding a phone and shouting, "I don't care what method you use. Within ten minutes, I want to know where he is. I want to see who has eaten a bear's heart and leopard's courage to touch the person that I, Yang Qiyuan, want to protect …"
Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of an afterimage passing in front of the car from the corner of his eye. He was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide. He forgot that he had not hung up the phone. He subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the afterimage and shouted in shock, "Damn, he's even faster than me. What kind of expert is this? No, I have to meet him."
After saying that, he got out of the car in excitement. He didn't care whether the car would block the traffic or not. He happily chased after the unbelievably fast afterimage.
"Hey!"
Ding Ning soon realized that he was being followed and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
He didn't expect that someone in Wu City could discover him. Although the person's speed was slightly slower than his, he was still following him. This speed was almost catching up with Duke Milles. If he wasn't worried about Xiahou Weiyang's safety, he really wanted to meet such an expert.
However, he didn't know that the shock in Yang Qiyuan's heart had reached an extreme point. He had used all his strength, but not only did he not close the distance, but he was getting farther and farther. For the first time in his life, he realized that there was always someone better than him.
In the northern suburbs of Wu City, in a deserted wilderness, Qu Wuyou's gaze was solemn as he watched Xiahou Weiyang fight with an old man holding a sword.
He had heard of the name Sword God Yagyu long ago. It was said that his swordsmanship was divine and he was the number one expert in Fu Sang Country.
Although he didn't scoff at it, he felt that it was an exaggeration. He didn't expect that he would live up to his reputation today. Even his Third Brother was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position and was seriously injured.
If it was a battle, he would have joined forces with his Third Brother to fight the enemy. However, Sword God Yagyu was challenging him in the name of learning from each other. According to the rules of the martial arts world, he couldn't intervene at all.
Moreover, Sword God Yagyu didn't come alone. He was accompanied by the disciples of Sword God Palace and a large group of Fu Sang Country warriors. If he intervened, these people would definitely gang up on him.
This made him feel a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have listened to his Third Brother and brought more people. Otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum alone.
Qi Sha and Ye Qingxuan stared at their battle intently. The expressions on their faces were extremely serious, and they were very nervous.
This was especially so for Qi Sha. In his eyes, his Third Martial Uncle was an invincible God of War. However, it seemed that his Third Martial Uncle, who had never tasted defeat, was going to meet his Waterloo today.
If it was any other opponent, it would be fine if they lost. At most, they would just lose some face. However, facing an old opponent like Fu Sang Country, who had a feud with their family and country, no one was willing to taste the taste of defeat.
"If this is Marquis Wu's power, then I think this battle is about to end," Sword God Yagyu said proudly with a calm expression.
After forcing Xiahou Weiyang to retreat with his sword, Sword God Yagyu didn't continue to pursue him.
He said calmly and proudly, "Sword God Yagyu lives up to his reputation indeed. However, if you think that you can defeat me like this, it's still too early."
Xiahou Weiyang took a step back and spoke in a clear voice with his back ramrod straight. His eyes flickered with a resolute look. The dozen or so shocking wounds on his body added a heroic and stirring feeling to him.
He felt very helpless. It had only been a few days since he broke through to the Saint Martial Arts Realm. His realm had yet to be completely stabilized, so he couldn't completely unleash the true power of the Saint Martial Arts Realm.
Moreover, Sword God Yagyu had broken through to the peak of the Saint Martial Arts Realm many years ago. In terms of realm, he completely crushed Xiahou Weiyang. It was already not easy for him to persist until now without being defeated.
Even if he died, he couldn't lose this battle. At this moment, not only did he represent the National Warrior's Mansion, but he also represented the face of Shenzhou Country. If the dignified Marquis Wu was defeated by the old Fu Sang Country, it would be a disgrace to the country.
"Oh, it seems that Marquis Wu hasn't used his full strength. Then, I'll wait and see. I hope Marquis Wu won't disappoint me."
Sword God Yagyu was very arrogant, so arrogant that there was no limit to his arrogance. He did not take Xiahou Weiyang seriously at all. He acted like a senior teaching a junior, which made the Japanese martial arts practitioners at the side laugh wildly.
"I obtained all my martial arts cultivation from the battlefield. I can't compare notes with others, but I'm good at killing people."
Xiahou Weiyang's eyes were like lightning as he spoke coldly. Obviously, he was really angry.
Sword God Yagyu was very strong, but he wasn't strong enough to make Xiahou Weiyang feel desperate. If he really risked his life, he didn't know who would win.
"Swords and sabers have no eyes, so it's hard to hold back in a fight. Since Marquis Wu is good at killing people, it's even better. We can sign a Life-and-Death Contract. In the arena, life and death are inseparable."
Sword God Yagyu's eyes flickered, and he looked like he had succeeded in his evil plan. He had prepared for so long, but he still hadn't killed Xiahou Weiyang because he was waiting for this moment.
The Sword God Palace had been silent for so long that many people had forgotten his prestige. This time, he wanted to imitate his disciple and challenge the Fu Sang Country one by one to raise the prestige of the Sword God Palace.
However, Xiahou Weiyang's identity was special. If he killed him, the Shenzhou government would probably be furious, and they might not be able to leave the Shenzhou Country safely.
However, if he signed a Life-and-Death Contract, it would be completely different. He could kill Xiahou Weiyang at will, and even the Shenzhou government would have nothing to say.
"Third Brother, you can't do that."
Qu Wuyou could tell that Sword God Yagyu was doing this on purpose. He was afraid that Xiahou Weiyang would agree, so he spoke anxiously.
"There's no need to say anything more. I've already made up my mind. I can't fight freely in a fight. Only by signing a Life-and-Death Contract can I fight to my heart's content," Xiahou Weiyang said in an unquestionable tone.
Xiahou Weiyang said without hesitation. His blood was boiling, and his fighting spirit was high.
Sword God Yagyu wanted to kill him, but he also wanted to kill Sword God Yagyu. Many young people nowadays had already forgotten the past hatred between their countries and families, but in his eyes, it was a blood feud that couldn't be erased. Even if he died today, he would never back down.
