Chapter 153: Chen Tianlong Is Arrested
"Sister, that’s my boyfriend. I was kidnapped by these bad people after school today, and in desperation, he borrowed your car to chase after them. It was his mistake, and I’m here to apologize to you on his behalf!"
Suddenly, Wu Mengting pushed open the car door and stepped out, walking toward Zhang Yufei while speaking.
Zhang Yufei instinctively looked ahead and saw a pretty girl of about eighteen or nineteen walking over, leaving her momentarily stunned.
"Little sister, are you saying this is your boyfriend? Are you the girl who was kidnapped?" Zhang Yufei had followed the report she received, only for the scene to turn out like this.
Wu Mengting nodded.
"Damn, is this how you police handle things? That punk cut people up; all my brothers here saw it. You arrest us, fine, but if you let Chen Tianlong go, I’ll have to call my lawyer."
Seeing this, Hao Jian was anxious as if nothing was wrong with Chen Tianlong. Their losses this time were severe, and they couldn’t let Chen Tianlong slip away so easily.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufei frowned. These people were clearly not ordinary; they must have strong backing to be so arrogant. Otherwise, typical thugs would be terrified of the police and wouldn’t dare argue.
"How we handle things isn’t for a kidnapper like you to comment on."
Zhang Yufei glared at Liu Wenbin, then looked at the people on the ground who couldn’t get up from their injuries, and the bloodied Bao nearby, covered in knife wounds, feeling at a loss for words.
This Chen Tianlong was way too ruthless.
So, Zhang Yufei approached Chen Tianlong and softly said, "Kid, you’ll have to bear with it for a few days..."
"Take everyone away! Pack it up!"
Zhang Yufei turned around and instructed her team.
After identity verification, the police learned that Hao Jian and Bao were key figures in the Flying Eagle Gang. Most importantly, their backing was the Hao Family, one of the four big families in South Sea City.
Hao Shuai was the eldest son of the Hao Family and also the leader of the Flying Eagle Gang. The police often interacted with them and were well aware of their wiles and complications.
"Yufei, first detain Chen Tianlong in the detention center for a few days, and then address it once the facts have been verified. Otherwise, the Flying Eagle Gang and the Hao Family will surely cause chaos at the police station; more importantly, I’m worried it might affect Chen Tianlong’s future studies."
Chief Zhao Bing pondered repeatedly, and although he knew Chen Tianlong was defending himself, given the excessive force used, he couldn’t release him easily to appease the public.
Zhao Bing’s intention was to wait for things to calm down before proceeding.
After Bao was sent to the hospital for rescue, his life was finally saved, but when Hao Shuai heard this news, he was furious.
He never imagined that Chen Tianlong would provoke his Flying Eagle Gang, and despite being overwhelmed with gang affairs, Hao Shuai gritted his teeth, vowing to find a chance to eliminate him once he left the detention center.
In the detention center at the border town of South Sea City, Chen Tianlong was thrown in and locked in a cell. Inside were four others, one of whom was an old man sitting on straw in the corner, with disheveled hair and somewhat vacant eyes.
Chen Tianlong glanced at the other three, two young lads and a strong man in his thirties. Without paying much attention, he sat next to the old man.
These days, elderly sitting in detention centers seemed quite pitiful; in Chen Tianlong’s mind, he was likely wrongfully accused but lacked crucial evidence, detained indefinitely.
"Old man, tell me how you ended up here." Chen Tianlong casually sat on the straw and asked the old man ahead lightly.
Upon hearing, the old man slightly raised his head, glanced at Chen Tianlong, then frowned deeply; there was a sense of Spiritual Qi in this man’s visage.
Yan Nanfei quickly extended his hand, catching Chen Tianlong’s wrist before he could react, then felt around his arm with a smile before letting go.
Chen Tianlong was startled by the old man’s sudden gesture, just as he was about to speak, he was grasped and touched, feeling quite uncomfortable.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was facing an old man instead of a woman, Chen Tianlong might have thought he was being molested.
"Old man, I’m talking to you. Why aren’t you answering, yet... yet you touch me!" Chen Tianlong smiled wryly.
"Young lad, are you willing to become my disciple?" Yan Nanfei abruptly asked without directly answering Chen Tianlong’s question.
Chen Tianlong froze; what was the old man doing, talking off-topic, why suddenly ask this?
"Haha... Kid, this guy is just a madman; they say he’s been locked up for over three years, probably going crazy from it. Don’t believe what he says!"
Suddenly, the strong man who had been silent spoke up.
Chen Tianlong turned around, looked, and instantly understood; it turned out he was a lunatic. However, he wondered how he was locked up for over three years?
Generally, a detention center is temporary; after sentencing, one goes to the labor camp, which is a big prison.
"Young lad, it’s up to you whether to believe it; you have a unique physique, real potential, those few fools are beneath me." The old man rolled his eyes at the other three, then turned away, silent.
Chen Tianlong was surprised again, intuitively feeling this old man wasn’t simple; staying here for three years wasn’t typical. How he managed it, Chen Tianlong couldn’t yet understand.
Out of curiosity, Chen Tianlong turned back again, got close to the old man, and continued to ask, "Hey, old man, have you really stayed here for three years?"
"Hmph, I’m crazy, don’t talk to me." The old man was clearly angry, acting childish, starting to throw a tantrum.
"Haha, old man, I don’t believe what they say; I trust you!" Chen Tianlong was amused by the old man’s antics, didn’t expect to find such a cute old man in a boring place.
Upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Yan Nanfei turned around: "Then... since I’ve told you, you must become my disciple!"
Looking at the old man’s seemingly irresistible gaze, Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly and said, "You’ll have to tell me what you’re doing, right? If you’re doing street tricks, I have to learn that too?"
"Haha, you kid are lucky; I was the legendary Yan Nanfei of ten years ago with ’flying on blowing leaves’, ’leaping hundred meters in a step’. Ever heard of me?"
"No!"
"..."
Yan Nanfei was speechless, he used to be so famous, yet this kid didn’t know him.
However, Chen Tianlong couldn’t be blamed; ten years ago, he was undergoing training with three masters in Lotus Village and often went on secret missions abroad, so it was reasonable not to know Yan Nanfei.
"Haha... Kid, you really believe this madman’s words, clearly boasting, couldn’t even leave the detention center, tricking people indeed." The two young men couldn’t help but laugh.
