Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Preserve the Big and Small.
Ye Feng felt that this Yang Jian was simply a madman.
Knowing full well that he couldnât handle him, and aware that continuing would lead to both their deaths, he still recklessly spouted vicious words, provoking hatred.
In his eyes, it was an act of sheer folly.
Provocation could be directed at the weak but should not target the strong.
So when Ye Feng heard these words, his first reaction was that Yang Jian wanted to fight to the death with him.
His own life was not long for this world, and yet he would rashly stake his life against others; if that wasnât madness, what was?
âWhat do you mean by that?â Ye Feng furrowed his brows deeply.
âNothing much, just the literal meaning. Just because I canât kill you today doesnât mean I wonât be able to in the future, so the day I come knocking on your door, I hope youâll be prepared. Donât accuse me of deliberately troubling you,â
Yang Jian said calmly, âOf course, I welcome you to deal with me first.â

âI wonât mind.â
Ye Feng said, âYou mean⊠a fight to the death?â
âYou could say that.â
Yang Jianâs gaze revealed a chilling intent, âTo stir up trouble and then just back down is not how the world works. The hunted one today isnât you, so if youâre looking for reconciliation, wait until youâre dead. Iâll write a peace treaty and burn it in front of your grave. Thatâs what I call reconciliation.â
âI⊠understand,â Ye Fengâs expression grew even more solemn.
He realized that Yang Jian was not a madman, but rather out for vengeance.
He was still young, unable to swallow the bitter pill of todayâs events.
But it also made sense.
Why should Yang Jian submit?
âIt seems my coming here today was indeed a mistake. If youâre truly determined to seek vengeance against me, I canât stop you. Weâll see whose skills prevail,â Ye Feng was also fearless.
He had a talisman to protect his life and did not believe Yang Jian could kill him.
After speaking, he glared fiercely at Wang Xiaoqiang, then turned and left.
Today, he had not achieved his objective and instead had attracted a slew of troubles.
Life in Dachang City would likely not be so peaceful from here on out.
âDamn it, how did it come to this.â Wang Xiaoqiang too was grinding his teeth, having lost his earlier composure.
This time, he had suffered greatly. The operation had failed, and on top of that, he had offended Ye Feng.
The loss was too great.
But now was not the time to dwell on this.
Ye Feng had left, and he definitely could not linger here.
Otherwise, it was uncertain whether he would end up dead here.
Seeing the situation turn sour, Wang Xiaoqiang also made a hasty retreat.
Yang Jian just watched him go, offering no resistance.
It wasnât that he didnât want to keep this Wang Xiaoqiang, but the timing was not right. He couldnât kill Wang Xiaoqiang here.
âIâll let you live a few more days. Soon youâll realize how foolish todayâs decision was,â Yang Jian thought to himself as he watched the two men speed away into the distance.
He had never been the one to initiate the conflict from start to finish.
Yet trouble kept seeking him out.
The root cause was, after all, his lack of strength.
The weak are always bullied for various reasons.
Why did Wang Xiaoqiang dare to come here? It was because he saw Yang Jian as a powerless individual, alone and an easy target.
Why did Ye Feng dare to wade into these muddy waters? Likewise, because he felt sure of defeating Yang Jian, and didnât mind doing Wang Xiaoqiang a favor.
Bullies are always cowards at heart.
Once the two menâs car had completely disappeared at the end of the road, Yang Jian turned and walked back.
Having had the experience of being detained before, Yang Jian did not find it difficult to retrieve the rope.
Looking at the dense, drooping grass ropes before him, he knew that only one was real. Finding it and ensuring it was detained, the matter would be concluded.
If it were an ordinary person, finding it would be next to impossible.
But Yang Jian had been cautious.
He had left a gold thread on the rope.
It was a mark.
âFound it.â
Soon, Yang Jian saw the real rope.
The crisis was averted.
At this moment, Yang Jian made another call to Captain Liu, âHello, is this Captain Liu?â
âItâs me. Is that you, Yang Jian? Has something urgent happened again?â Captain Liu immediately responded.
âSome people have died here. They were armed murderers, and now I have killed them. I hope Captain Liu can come and deal with it,â Yang Jian said.
Startled, Captain Liu replied, âAlright, Iâll handle it immediately.â
A gunman murderer?
Lately, special events in Dachang City have been causing headaches; how could such a thing still occur?
Such heinous acts must be dealt with severely.
After reporting to his superiors, Captain Liu quickly led a team out, heading to the Guanjiang Residential Complex.
But, less than ten minutes after the callâŠ
Yang Jianâs satellite-tracking phone rang.
After a momentâs thoughtâŠ
He decided to answer it.
âIs this Yang Jian?â This time the operator was no longer Liu Xiaoyu, but the captain himself, Zhao Jianguo.
âItâs me. I didnât expect that you would personally call me this time,â Yang Jian said.
Zhao Jianguo said, âWhat happened on your end? I heard guns were involved; this is definitely a premeditated act, not a simple case of a criminal shooting people.â
âIndeed, itâs not. I donât want to hide it from you; with your capabilities, you would find out in no more than three days anyway. Actually, today Wang Xiaoqiang from Xiaoqiang Entertainment Club and Ye Feng came to hunt me down⊠hmm, to use the word âhuntâ doesnât seem quite right, it should be âassassinateâ; they wanted to eliminate me,â Yang Jian explained; âUnfortunately, they failed.â
âWhat?â
Zhao Jianguo, on the other end of the call, was both shocked and enraged upon hearing this news.
He had not expected such a serious incident to happen today.
Had Wang Xiaoqiang gone mad? Didnât he know what should and shouldnât be done?
âRest assured, the higher-ups will definitely give you an explanation. I personally will handle the matter with Wang Xiaoqiang,â Zhao Jianguo said.
Yang Jian responded, âNo, I will handle it.â
As soon as Zhao Jianguo heard this, he sensed something was off, âYang Jian, Iâm also furious that you were attacked, but anger wonât solve anything. Even if Wang Xiaoqiang is in the wrong a thousand times over, donât forget he is Wang Xiaomingâs brother. With that identity, you need to show some tolerance, no matter what. Professor Wangâs contributions are not unknown to you; we canât take action against the family of a hero.â
He understood that if Yang Jian was allowed to handle this, Wang Xiaoqiangâs fate was sealed.
If he took care of it himself, at least he could muddy the waters and gloss over it.
âItâs true that Professor Wang has made significant contributions, I wonât deny that, but Wang Xiaoqiang has not; we shouldnât sacrifice me just because of their brotherly relationship,â Yang Jian countered; âIf you insist on managing this matter, then you might as well eliminate me on the spot; otherwise, however great Professor Wangâs contributions are, the losses I incur will be just as substantial. Iâm exerting myself to the fullest just by surviving. If I have to be constantly on guard against being assassinated, then sorry, I have no choice but to turn to the dark side.â
Turn to the dark side?
Hearing this phrase, Zhao Jianguoâs mouth twitched.
That isnât turning to the dark side; thatâs a threat, alright.
âIâm giving you a heads-up because Iâm doing my routine duty in reporting to you, and I abide by the rules. But I hope those of you who make the rules will also act accordingly,â Yang Jian said.
After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Jianguo then said, âAssassinating a Dachang City official, no matter who it is, whatever organization, will be charged with crimes against humanity, a crime that doesnât allow for commutation, only the death penalty. Headquarters must prioritize this.â
âSo, youâre saying Iâm carrying out justice?â Yang Jian said, âTherefore, I hope Zhao Jianguo wouldnât make a mistake on principle.â
ââŠâ
Zhao Jianguo felt so cornered he couldnât find the words to reply.
âThatâs it, weâll talk next time.â Yang Jian ended the call immediately after making his report.
Once the communication was severedâŠ
Zhao Jianguo couldnât help but let his temper show; âDamn it.â
He fiercely threw the communication device in his hand to the ground, shattering it.
The other operators in the communication room all turned to look at Zhao Jianguo.
âOf all people to provoke, Wang Xiaoqiang had to mess with Yang Jian, creating trouble for me. That Xiaoqiang Entertainment Club might as well be banned; it will sooner or later become a scourge. Attempting to assassinate the Dachang City official, is he trying to rebel?â
âLiu Xiaoyu, prompt Sun Yi immediately to get to Dachang City within a day, and help Yang Jian finalize his official position,â Zhao Jianguo ordered.
âWang Xiaoqiang has to die, but it has to be by the hands of headquarters, not by Yang Jian alone.â
In choosing between protecting Wang Xiaoqiang and Yang Jian, Zhao Jianguo didnât hesitate to choose Yang Jian.
It wasnât a matter of personal feelings; it was a decision made from the bigger picture.
What use was Wang Xiaoqiang?
Running a club, not dealing with supernatural incidents, constantly involved in petty turf wars.
Although Yang Jian might be hard to control, at least he kept to himself. Moreover, he was no slouch when it came to handling supernatural events.
If they really had to sacrifice Yang Jian, the cost would indeed be too high.
Murdering a person cuts deep.
Then who would dare to handle supernatural events?
And dealing with Wang Xiaoqiang was actually according to regulations; it wasnât a personal vendetta.
In both sentiment and reason, Zhao Jianguo had no reason to protect Wang Xiaoqiang.
But regarding Wang Xiaoming⊠After giving his orders, Zhao Jianguo immediately turned and left the communication room.
That side also needed to be informed.
The best outcome would be to have Wang Xiaoming privately save Wang Xiaoqiang, to save face for Professor Wang, while on this end, they fully support Yang Jianâs actions.
This way, offending neither party.
Whether Yang Jian could enforce the law successfully depended on his own capabilities.
