Chapter 716: 716 Head-to-Head Clash! Can’t Afford to Offend [Part 2]

The involvement of the Si Family is one thing, considering that their ancestors were originally People of Shenzhou.

But what connection does this matter have with the World Cultural Heritage Center?

Yet there was no time for the middle-aged man to dwell on it.

Neither the Si Family nor Darian Stuart were people he, a mere team leader of the Supervision Bureau, could afford to offend.

"What are you standing around for?" the middle-aged man shouted angrily, slamming the table, "Hurry up and release the captive!"

The on-duty guard was also sweating profusely: "Yes!"

"Team Leader!" Just then, a third subordinate arrived.

The middle-aged man’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively asked, "Who is it this time?"

"It’s—it’s—" the guard stammered, "Mr. Ling, the Dean of the Shenzhou University Divinity School!"

With a crash, the middle-aged man seemed to have all his strength drained in an instant and collapsed onto his chair.

He had heard of this Divinity School Dean’s reputation, of course.

Having stayed in a mental institution for several years, to be so young and already in charge of the Shenzhou University Divinity School indicated his extraordinary nature.

The middle-aged man had thought Shenzhou University might send someone to demand release, but he never expected it to be Ling Yunzhan!

It was said that everyone in the Divinity School was abnormal, each a madman to varying degrees.

Could it be that the reason Ye Wanlan dared to be so forceful was that she had some formidable power backing her?

At this thought, cold sweat dripped from the middle-aged man’s brow, and his hand trembled slightly, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

"Where is she?" Ling Yunzhan brushed aside the guards blocking his way and entered, "Your Supervision Bureau detained our Shenzhou University student without cause; this is inappropriate, isn’t it?"

The middle-aged man jolted: "Mr. Ling! The person is in the next room. It was our mistake, please, you may take her away now."

He stepped out first, only to run into a grim-faced Darian, making him break out in even more cold sweat: "Mr. Darian, you too..."

"Spare me the nonsense!" Ling Yunzhan’s icy voice sounded behind him, "Release her!"

"Y-yes, yes, yes!" The middle-aged man almost scrambled towards the cell where Ye Wanlan was held.

At the same time, he kept silently praying in his heart, "Please protect us."

He hoped nothing had happened!

If Ye Wanlan lost even a hair, his job would be jeopardized.

The door was pushed open, and a strong smell of blood hit him, causing the middle-aged man’s face to change drastically and to shut his eyes in despair.

It’s over!

He was still a step too late!

Ling Yunzhan walked in leisurely, hands in his pockets, scanning the Chief Guard who lay on the ground, and raised an eyebrow.

The situation was as he anticipated.

It was Ye Wanlan’s style, even gentler than he thought.

Ye Wanlan lifted her head, raised her eyebrows slightly at Ling Yunzhan and Darian in greeting.

"Team Leader!" The Chief Guard’s hoarse voice sounded, filled with resentment, "Team Leader, she... she dared to resist even after entering the Supervision Bureau, she must die!"

Originally, he just wanted to dull Ye Wanlan’s sharpness by making her go through all the punishments.

Who knew, in the Supervision Bureau, Ye Wanlan would strike him again.

The Chief Guard was covered in blood, his face twisted and terrifying.

He was from the Heaven-reaching Tower, Ye Wanlan was doomed!

But in the next second, he was suddenly kicked aside.

"Get out!"

The Chief Guard was in pain, but more so in shock and disbelief.

The middle-aged man felt like his heart had dropped to the ground and respectfully said, "Mr. Ling, Mr. Darian, as you can see, Miss Ye is unharmed, there’s nothing wrong!"

Ling Yunzhan smiled faintly: "I see you are swift in detaining people, and fast in preparing the instruments of torture as well. But if I’m not mistaken, many of these instruments are meant only for criminals of A-level and above, aren’t they?"

"This..." The middle-aged man was scared out of his wits and kicked the Chief Guard on the ground again, "Did you bring these torture instruments? Do you know this violates the regulations! Someone, arrest him!"

The Chief Guard was in utter disbelief: "Team Leader?!"

It was clearly Ye Wanlan who committed the crime, why arrest him?

He usually oppressed quite a few ordinary civilians using his status, never failing before.

Because he knew very well, his status was higher than theirs, and the power in his hands was greater.

But why this time, did it not work?!

Ye Wanlan half-squatted down, looked down at the Chief Guard lying on the ground, and smiled slightly: "I like the Global Center, your rules are very useful, and I will adhere to them thoroughly."

Simplistic and blunt, driven by might.

Hard against hard?

That’s possible.

The Chief Guard’s face was as pale as paper.

At this moment, he truly understood that the backing behind Ye Wanlan was not something he could afford to provoke.

"I told you, there wouldn’t be any trouble." Ling Yunzhan shrugged, "All right, the show is over, let’s go."

"Have a safe trip, all three of you!" The middle-aged man nodded and bowed, "I will certainly follow the rules and punish those derelict of duty!"

Outside, Ye Wanlan asked: "Any more information on the Flowing Cloud Fan?"

"Yes." Darian replied with a serious expression, "It was the Si Family, there’s evidence, but no way to act on it."

The items taken by the Si Family are impossible to retrieve unless someone from the Heaven-reaching Tower or the Neptune Family personally demands their return.

"Okay, I got it." Ye Wanlan said, "I have other matters to attend to, I’ll leave now."

"Hey, Sister YN!" Darian started, "In such a hurry, where are you headed?"

"To the Si Family, of course." Ling Yunzhan patted his shoulder, "I’m returning to Shenzhou University too, the extent of our relationship cannot be public right now."

Darian: "..."

It’s clearly a very proper connection among peers, but why does it sound so peculiar coming from him?

Forget it, with one and the other having their own agendas, he might as well return to work too.

Shenzhou University, Principal’s office.

"I heard you just visited the Supervision Bureau." Principal Nero placed the documents aside and looked up at Ling Yunzhan across from him.

"Principal Nero, as long as one is a student at Shenzhou University, they’re your student." Ling Yunzhan replied nonchalantly, "I went to demand release on your behalf, why are you questioning me instead?"

"Yunzhan, you’ve never concerned yourself with these matters." Principal Nero stared intently at him, "Why this time, do you have such leisure?"

Ling Yunzhan was recruited into the school by him because he valued Ling Yunzhan’s abilities.

As expected, in less than eight years, Ling Yunzhan had already reached the position of Vice Dean of the Divinity School.

He intended to pass on the principal position to Ling Yunzhan, as long as Ling Yunzhan’s mental illness didn’t recur.

"Me, I’m an orphan, only able to confirm that my parents were People of Shenzhou." Ling Yunzhan leaned back in the chair, twirling a pen in his hand, "As a child, I was captured into a mental institution, suffered every punishment, but I survived."

Principal Nero fell silent.

Anyone who climbs up from the depths of extreme hardship is most terrifying.

Because they fear not even death, what else would they fear?

But such individuals also tend to be quite mad.

He feared that Ling Yunzhan might veer off course and end up in eternal damnation.

"I cannot bear to see our Shenzhou children bullied." Ling Yunzhan smiled meaningfully, "So, once I got the message, I immediately rushed over to demand the release. Principal Nero, rest assured, your student is unharmed."

Having heard this, Principal Nero just sighed softly.

He said nothing, but took Ling Yunzhan’s hand, and began writing words in his palm.

A total of five characters.

Ling Yunzhan’s gaze changed sharply.
