Chapter 270: Controlling the Situation! The Art of Misleading!

“Nobody move! Put your hands in the air!”
A dozen policemen disembarked from their police cars and raised their handguns. They released the safeties and aimed straight for the center of the field.
Ling Yun laughed inwardly at the policemen’s stupidity. They were the same as Lin Menghan. How could they possibly put their hands in the air when they were ordered not to move?
The battlefield was now divided into two parts. On one side was the four masters and Niu Fenjiao, who had just calmed down. On the other side was Miao Xiaomiao, Ling Yun, and his wretched hostage Sun Xing.
The four masters from the Sun Family were secretly troubled. They were masters in their own right, but the police had guns!
If they were prepared, each of them could probably face two or three armed policemen each and manage to escape.
However, more than forty pistols were pointing at them now. No one dared to do anything unless they were at least of Houtian Realm Level 9 or Xiantian Realm! Or perhaps if they played dirty like Ling Yun, they could try to seize a hostage amidst the chaos.
Of course, He Xingyan also had the option of controlling the situation by the use of his hidden weapons. However, that would be equivalent to turning the whole country against him. He would be hunted down by the special forces and would have no place in Huaxia!
The policemen’s orders were to get the situation under control and wait for Tang Tianhao to arrive.
The police did not know that they had been mobilized for Ling Yun, nor did they know who Ling Yun was. Actually, most of them did not know what they were here for.
That was why they could only point their guns at everyone present, including Ling Yun.
It really was a strange collective mobilization.
Captain Kang Ruiyong of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of Qingshui City arrived before Tang Tianhao. His cold eyes swept through the field, and he understood the entire situation instantly.
There was a wide road made of red bricks in the middle of the two adjacent villas. The three Houtian Realm Level 4 corpses had been moved there by the remaining two Houtian Realm Level 1 guards.
The final three guards had dragged themselves to the edge of the flower bed. They were pitifully howling in pain.
Of the eight martial artists that Niu Fenjiao had brought with her, she was only left with two Houtian Realm Level 1 fighters who could do nothing but stare.
Frankly, Houtian Realm Level 1 fighters were only a little stronger than the average person. The combined strengths of these two people probably could not even rival that of Tie Xiaohu. Thus, Ling Yun did not bother with them for now.
Kang Ruiyong looked towards Ling Yun and saw a body lying there motionless. He turned his sight towards the three big beauties on the staircase of the villa and lastly to Niu Fenjiao and the four masters.
“This is really tragic… No wonder the order from Boss Tang was so urgent. Just who are these people!? Is that bald guy a monk or a priest? Why is he holding a staff in his hand but wearing a Daoist robe? Why is he so black? Could he be from Africa?
Kang Ruiyong’s brows locked tightly together. He glanced at his brothers and gave an instruction. “Keep the situation under control. No one is to open fire without my permission!”
Even the captain of the Criminal Investigation Bureau Kang Ruiyong did not know which side to assist!
Kang Ruiyong’s mobile rang again. It was his boss, Tang Tianhao. He answered it quickly.
Tang Tianhao told him one thing. “You are at the scene now, right? I forgot to tell you. Protect Ling Yun at all costs! I will be there soon!”
“Understood!” Kang Ruiyong hung up and shouted out to everyone present. “May I know which of you is Ling Yun? Would it be possible to have a word with you?”
This was mad. It was raining, and it was approaching the midnight of Qingming Festival.
Tang Tianhao wanted him to bring so many people just to protect this Ling Yun. Just how important was Ling Yun to Boss Tang?
Kang Ruiyong was smart. His tone was entirely amicable. It could even be said to be a request.
Nonetheless, he was praying that Ling Yun was not among the seven lying on the floor.
“I am here!” Ling Yun stepped forward and waved at Kang Ruiyong.
Ling Yun glanced and picked up the still unconscious Sun Xing. He casually walked over to Kang Ruiyong with a big grin on his face.
Ling Yun came to Kang Ruiyong, threw Sun Xing casually onto the floor and said, “May I know your good name?”
Ling Yun seemed to be a handsome young man with good temperament. That left a good impression on him immediately as Kang Ruiyong extended his hand. “I am Kang Ruiyong, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Bureau in the Police Department of Qingshui City.”
This person was on his side. Ling Yun reached out and shook Kang Ruiyong’s big hands firmly and said, “Tang Meng is my brother. I just rescued him out from here.”
There were profound reasons behind Ling Yun’s words.
Everything he said was true. Tang Meng was his brother. He had also just rescued him from here. However, he neglected to mention that this whole situation originated from himself, not Tang Meng.
Kang Ruiyong was misled by Ling Yun. He had the impression that Tang Meng was the one who met with trouble and was rescued by Ling Yun. He thought that Ling Yun himself had then become trapped and could not escape.
This was definitely misleading!
“F*ck, who dares touch my nephew?!” Kang Ruiyong’s cold eyes immediately fell onto the four masters.
Ling Yun was gunning for this effect. He smiled and pointed at Sun Xing. “Leader Kang, this is the person you are looking for. I have already captured him for you. Just look after him!”
Kang Ruiyong looked at Sun Xing and nodded. “This kid? No problem!”
It had not been easy to capture Sun Xing, but he had since become a huge burden. Ling Yun was relieved that he could throw this problem to Kang Ruiyong.
Ling Yun told Kang Ruiyong alone through telepathy, “Leader Kang, the four people over there are not normal people. Every one of them are martial arts masters in their own right. They can cover tens of meters with a single leap and can kill someone with just one hit. Please be careful!”
Ling Yun was really unambiguous with his few words to maximize the help that his ally would provide him.
Kang Ruiyong was alarmed. Cover tens of meters with a single leap? Were they the legendary Practitioners? If that was the case, things were not ending well tonight.
Kang Ruiyong was a special agent before joining the Criminal Investigation Bureau. He had encountered Practitioners before, so he had some understanding of them.
No wonder there is a need for so many people and guns. It is to counter the practitioners!
Kang Ruiyong looked towards Ling Yun with a visible shock!
Ling Yun said that he saved Tang Meng from these high level practitioners. Doesn’t that mean… that Ling Yun is also a high level practitioner himself!?
“Little Brother Ling Yun, then you…” Kang Ruiyong’s tone towards Ling Yun changed. He just noticed Ling Yun’s shredded clothes were drenched in blood.
Ling Yun nodded, indicating that Kang Ruiyong guessed correctly. He suddenly looked towards the gate.
Tang Meng’s father Deputy Director Tang Tianhao of the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau had finally arrived!
The estate roads were very wide and could accommodate four cars side-by-side. Tang Tianhao drove all the way in and stopped when he saw Kang Ruiyong.
Tang Tianhao was counting along the way. “One car, two cars, three cars… eighteen cars… Kang Ruiyong actually brought all of my soldiers!”
“Boss Tang! You are here!” Kang Ruiyong ran over immediately to open the car door for Tang Tianhao when he saw his car.
“How many men did you bring? Have you controlled the situation? How is Ling Yun?” Tang Tianhao inquired about the situation as he got off the car.
Kang Ruiyong laughed. “Ling Yun is fine. We have the situation under control. As for how many men, I am not sure about the exact number, but I think we should have at least 40…”
Ling Yun stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Tang Tianhao once he was certain that this was Tang Meng’s father. He introduced himself, “How are you, Uncle Tang. I am Ling Yun.”
Ling Yun then looked up and exchanged glances with Tang Tianhao.
Tang Tianhao burst out laughing and patted Ling Yun’s shoulder. “No wonder Tang Meng brags all day long about how handsome his boss is! You are indeed good-looking! I like it!”
Ling Yun beamed and replied, “Uncle Tang, you are also very handsome, tall and mighty. You have an extraordinary aura!”
