Chapter 276 I Must Let You Stand Up Again
Banged!
When the door was closed again after Mi Xiaoqing left, Liu Feng turned around and sat back on the bed.
“The expert who ranks the fifth on Heaven Ranking List has reached the stage of force concentrating, hasn’t he?”
After thinking for a while, Liu Feng suddenly smiled calmly. “Take it easy. In such a troublesome state, as Yama, I may as well play with you if you want to play.”
As Liu Feng thought of it, he just gave up sleeping. Instead, he sat cross-legged in meditation and began to cultivate Qi Refining Incantation taught by Smiling Immortal.
After Mi Xiaoqing left, nobody came to attack Liu Feng again.
But at this time, in an office of the National Security Department, Zhou Yi was smoking one cigarette after another.
On the opposite side of Zhou Yi sat a man of medium build with a stern face.
It appeared that this man was in his early fifties. There was a trace of depth in the eyes, but the eyes were bloodshot. He was exactly the nominal master of Peng’s Family now, Peng Qianli.
“Zhou Yi, how long do you have to think over? My second son was caught by your underlings. Do you want to hold him in custody all the time?” Peng Qianli raised his hand to take the cigarette case on the desk and lit up a cigarette himself. He presently said as he puffed out a cloud of smoke, “I come here personally today, so you will not let me go back alone, right?”
In the face of Peng Qianli who was rather mighty, Zhou Yi felt great pressure.
Inspired by Liu Feng, An Que brought Second Young Master Peng back to the National Security Department and thoroughly interrogated him. During that occasional trial, An Que didn’t care about the identity of Second Young Master Peng and managed to figure out a lot of things by the shock interrogation.
Second Young Master Peng confessed to the murders in the military region of Xizang and admitted that he was involved in many shameful businesses with people from Xiaoyao Sect. He even revealed an underground dealing market of human organs.
These things absolutely endangered the social security and even national security. It was definitely reasonable and legal for National Security Department to intervene.
“Old Peng, I don’t mean to embarrass you.”
Zhou Yi dropped the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and said with a deep frown on his face, “Peng Yun, the second son of your family, has already confessed to everything. We also have conclusive proof of his guilt. How could I let him go?”
“Conclusive proofs of his guilt?”
Peng Qianli’s face was overclouded with anger. “Since the proofs are conclusive, what are you going to do?”
Zhou Yi lit up another cigarette and uttered four words seriously, “Execute him by shooting!”
Snapped!
Peng Qianli thumped the table as he stood up and shouted loudly, “Zhou Yi, you are an idiot! I only have two sons and one daughter. Now my daughter is dead, and you still want to shoot my second son to death. Do you want to start a feud between you and my family?”
Alas!
Zhou Yi sighed heavily and said, “All men are equal before the law. Old Peng, if I release your second son, national laws will be trampled by law enforcement officials like us, right?”
“If this is the case, I require that my son should be tried by the local police, not by the National Security Department.” Peng Qianli said.
Zhou Yi immediately shook his head. “Your son killed the famous scientist Sikong Nian in the military region of Sikong Nian and bombed a military helicopter. His behaviors indeed have already threatened the national security. If we don’t kill him, how can we safeguard judicial justice? Since National Security Department has already intervened in this case, it is impossible for us to hand it over to the local police.”
When he said that, Zhou Yi didn’t feel awkward anymore. His expression hardened with determination.
“That’s good.” Peng Qianli was so angry that he even laughed. He pointed to his nose and said, “Well, my wife and daughter were both killed by someone. Should you also be fair to me? The murderer is a man named Liu Feng. Why don’t you arrest him as well?”
“Liu Feng? What about the proofs?” Zhou Yi asked.
“Proofs? I haven’t found the proofs, but I guess it is him.” When Peng Qianli said that, he even lacked confidence in himself.
It was funny.
Zhou Yi said with a sneer, “You actually don’t find the proofs. How could you let people in National Security Department arrest him? Old Peng, I even don’t know what to say. You should go to the local police for the ordinary murder case of this kind.”
D*mn it!
Peng Qianli almost said dirty words in angry. He kicked away the chair behind him and turned to leave.
“Old Peng...”
When Peng Qianli came to the door, Zhou Yi suddenly called him. “I’m really sorry for your second son. But I don’t think it’s necessary for you to seek help from others. You absolutely have no alternative in this matter. By the way, I would like to persuade you not to do outrageous things. At least you still have a great eldest son, and Peng’s Family can definitely continue to thrive. Don’t make mistakes.”
“Thank you for your advice.” Peng Qianli said in an extremely hard voice. And then he pushed the door and walked out.
Alas!
Zhou Yi sighed heavily and then dialed a number via an internal call.
When the phone went through, he only said one sentence. “Pay attention to Liu Feng and inform me the first time if he is in danger.”
...
The next morning, Liu Feng left the hotel early and took a taxi to Fragrant Mountain of the capital.
There was an inconspicuous mansion in the vicinity of Fragrant Mountain. It was inconspicuous because the mansions made of grey bricks and black tiles could regularly be seen in this place. But in fact, this mansion was really large with at least three yards inside and more than twenty houses.
Actually, the owner of such a mansion which was close to Fragrant Mountain couldn’t be regarded as a rich and powerful family. However, the family that lived here was indeed a rich and powerful one. It was Duanmu’s Family that was once illustrious in the capital.
“Duanmu Hongliu, do you really become a good-for-nothing? Because of your disability, all families in the capital think that there is no male in the third generation of Duanmu’s Family. Can you swallow the insult?” Liu Feng stood outside the courtyard of Duanmu’s Family, sighing gently. And then he lightly leaped over the high wall like a civet cat.
Though Duanmu’s Family was kind of decadent among all the rich and powerful families in the capital, it was still a rich and powerful family in Celestial Empire. In fact, this mansion was absolutely intelligent. It was equipped with surveillance cameras that almost had a full field of view. However, the monitoring system just failed to record how Liu Feng entered the mansion. Even if Liu Feng shuttled through the courtyards, he was not detected by the monitoring system.
After searching for a while, Liu Feng stopped at the door of a room in the third courtyard.
Squeak!
Liu Feng pushed in and muttered with a frown. “It should be here because there is a faint smell of medicine. It seems that people in Duanmu’s Family have not given up treating Hongliu.”
“Who is there?”
Just then a hoarse voice came from the inner bedroom in the room. “I don’t want to take medicine. And I don’t want to have lunch. Get out of here.”
After hearing his voice, Liu Feng raised his eyebrows. A disappointed look immediately emerged on his face. “Hongliu, it is not typical of you to abandon the treatment, is it? Will you give in to your fate so easily?”
Liu Feng walked to the door of the bedroom while speaking.
In the bedroom, a young man with a sallow complexion lay on the bed. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling. He just uttered two words plainly without looking at Liu Feng at all. “Go out!”
“Hongliu, do you really not want to see me?” Liu Feng went into the bedroom and sat in a chair by the bed.
“You...” Duanmu Hongliu seemed to be very angry, and he suddenly turned to look at Liu Feng. Then a surprise look immediately registered on his face.
Liu Feng raised his hand and put it on the vital meridian of Duanmu Hongliu’s wrist. “It’s me. I am back. Hongliu, I am sorry. It was two days ago that I finally knew you had suffered a lot. Otherwise, I should have come to see you earlier.”
“You, are you really number three? Are you Liu Feng?” Duanmu Hongliu’s expression kept shifting like the clouds, and his eyes began to grow moist.
“It’s me. Can you tell me how you got hurt on your legs?” Liu Feng asked.
“It is because of Lu Yan. He’s a jerk.”
At this time, Duanmu Hongliu burst into tears, but he didn’t continue to answer Liu Feng’s question.
“If you don’t want to say, I won’t ask you forcedly now.”
Liu Feng took out a pack of needles and spread it at the edge of the bed. He raised his hand and pulled out a silver needle. “When I make you stand up again, we can have a chat.”
“What do you mean? Can I stand up again?” Duanmu Hongliu suddenly got excited. When he looked at Liu Feng, his eyes which had been dull all the time finally coruscated a ray of brilliance.
“Yes, you can.” Liu Feng nodded and said, “Trust me, I must let you stand up again!”
