Chapter 156: Chapter 137: Cut the Gordian Knot (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Pass)

"Ping’an, brace yourself. We might have really stirred up a hornet’s nest,"

After Tang Tang led the team and stormed the club, they subdued everyone and even found some unconscious fighters and civilians in the basement behind the gym.

These people were both male and female.

Among the police officers who followed, someone recognized them.

Several of them had family members who had reported them missing.

Finding them here was both unexpected, yet made sense.

They were probably the "goods" that hadn’t been transported yet.

Apart from the missing people,

the biggest find was some records—notes chronicling events held at the gym over the years, and observations noted after the transformation of the transported people had been returned

Zhou Ping’an didn’t know why Hiroshi Tanaka had left such raw data behind.

But he knew that with this, he could substantiate the justification for his raid. No one could overturn the case of the Hongxing Underground Boxing Gym.

In other words,

the Poisonous Snake Society was doomed.

"I’m not afraid of any nest, with Sister shielding me from the storm. I just need to take action,"

Zhou Ping’an said with a smile.

The Third Group here had a significant hidden advantage.

Although Tang Tang had always concealed her origins, and other officers did not gossip, everyone was actually well aware.

The female inspector definitely had a powerful backer.

Otherwise,

with Tang Tang’s straightforward and aggressive nature, she would have been removed countless times by now.

Just like the time when Zhou Ping’an was temporarily transferred to Group One, and they later tried to detain him for interrogation. Tang Tang visited them, gave no reasons, and directly took him back.

And Yao Zhenbang from Group One could only pound the table in frustration.

He was helpless.

As the saying goes, "It’s good to shelter under a big tree," as long as we, the officers, really didn’t do anything excessively controversial. For normal case investigations, there’s no need to worry about offending anyone.

Issues with official standing must be dealt with by the rules.

"Just keep dragging me into this,"

Tang Tang said discontentedly, but the smile on her face betrayed her true feelings.

"Of course, today’s case is a big achievement. Maybe you’ll be promoted again soon,"

"Career promotion isn’t too critical at the moment. Let’s solidify this case first. And, all the casinos and bars under Hiroshi Tanaka can be shut down.

The key personnel, all captured. I won’t interfere in this case..."

"Alright, let’s also distribute some credit to let them stay active too,"

Tang Tang turned to look at Hiroshi Tanaka, who Zhou Ping’an was holding. A trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. After thinking for a while, she chose not to ask.

She knew that Zhou Ping’an wanted to interrogate all suspects before the Special Combat Squad’s Wang Yulin could send someone to take over the case.

The situation did not look promising.

At the sight of the stony-faced Hiroshi Tanaka from the Sakura Clan, clearly, he was resolved to remain silent, determined not to say a word.

Furthermore, he didn’t have much to lose.

One hand gone, both legs gone.

He was bound to be a cripple.

"No, there’s still bio-transformation technology. He might still be holding onto hope, wanting to fit mechanical prosthetics,"

"Exactly, that’s his plan. He’s trying to buy time,"

Zhou Ping’an nodded.

Pulling Hiroshi Tanaka to a quiet corner, he began talking to him as if he were chatting with an old friend.

Of course, from beginning to end, it was all one-sided. Tanaka remained silent, and the occasional opening of his eyes only revealed a look of hatred.

Zhou Ping’an didn’t care at all.

"So, the laboratory is not in the east, west, or north. It’s in the south... Yes, your emotions have already revealed the location,"

"Oh, it’s not in the city, so it must be outside the city. Thirty li? Twenty li? Ten li?"

"It’s twenty li, I understand now. I’ll go check what’s there right after this,"

Zhou Ping’an said, his eyes growing colder.

Unravelling the threads, locking down the location, and then following the trail, he didn’t believe anyone could keep hiding.

Hiroshi Tanaka looked at him in horror.

He felt as if his opponent were a ghost, seemingly able to see through what he was thinking inside.

He desperately calmed his thoughts, not even letting a flicker of change pass over his eyes.

When necessary, he even shut his eyes.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

The other’s questions were like multiple-choice quizzes, echoing like incantations in his mind. It was impossible not to hear or think about them.

Once he knew the answer,

soon, so did the other side.

"Can you read minds?"

Hiroshi Tanaka’s heart sank, knowing he could not escape this predicament anymore.

If he had previously thought that he could still delay some time before anyone asked anything valuable, waiting for someone to come to his rescue,

he now had no such confidence anymore.

The moment all the information was emptied, it would likely be his time to die.

"Who is behind the scenes? An elderly person? Middle-aged? Young? Male? Female..."

He methodically ruled out each possibility.

Zhou Ping’an gradually got an idea.

"Lastly, I ask you one question. When Zhou Changjun was investigating cases, was it you who ordered the attack?"

"So, it wasn’t just you; there was also someone behind you, very well, you don’t have to speak, in a little while, someone will come down to join you,"

"Get on the road early. In King Yan’s realm, enjoy your time in the frying pan and on the knife mountain,"

After Zhou Ping’an got the answers,

he didn’t look at the despair and fear finally showing in Hiroshi Tanaka’s eyes.

With a light palm strike,

the Ninth Turning of Wave Subduing Blade Gentle Strength, with a puff, penetrated right into Hiroshi Tanaka’s forehead.

Externally unharmed, his brain was shattered into a mush.

With the medical knowledge of this era, facing such physically devastating injuries, recovery was impossible, regardless of efforts— even gene modification or a head transplant couldn’t bring them back.

"Stop."

A group of people rushed in hastily.

Leading them was Yao Zhenbang.

"Zhou Ping’an, by order of the squad, my team will take over the case of Wenshan, suspecting that Hiroshi Tanaka is involved in the original murder incident at General’s Tomb, we are here to take him into custody,"

Yao Zhenbang said eagerly, holding up a stamped paper and walking forward.

He looked at Zhou Ping’an with wary eyes.

Obviously, he had also watched the previous live broadcast.

Now, just being near Zhou Ping’an made him feel uneasy all over.

It was not just him, but also the six operatives behind him, who felt as if confronting a great enemy.

"You should have said so earlier. I don’t know what Hiroshi Tanaka was trying to hide for someone else, but before I could ask more, he had already severed his heart meridian and committed suicide out of fear of crime."

"Severed... his heart meridian?"

Yao Zhenbang’s face twisted, the deep laugh lines on his face nearly burst, and he almost swore aloud.

Do you think this is a movie or are you writing a novel?

He actually said he severed his heart meridian.

"Well, maybe it wasn’t severing his heart meridian. Perhaps it was a surge of blood to the brain, a venture into lunacy. If you’re taking him, do it quickly. Any later and his heartbeat might stop too."

What Zhou Ping’an said was true. His recent palm strike had turned Hiroshi Tanaka’s brain to mush, but he noticed that the other’s heart was still faintly beating.

This was a case of a dead brain, but an alive heart.

Conveniently, he could use this to report back.

"There’s still a chance, quickly, take him to the hospital."

Yao Zhenbang stepped forward to check Hiroshi Tanaka’s breathing and felt his heartbeat, his face lighting up with joy. He and his men carried Hiroshi Tanaka out and hurriedly transported him to the hospital.

"You really let them take him away?"

Tang Tang had, at some point, appeared behind Zhou Ping’an.

She looked at Zhou Ping’an curiously.

In her memory, this junior was not someone to compromise so easily.

"It’s perfect, to throw a bait and see if any fish bite. Of course, it also keeps Yao Zhenbang and his people busy,"

Otherwise, they would try to take over other messy affairs like the Hongxing Underground Boxing Gym.

Mocking their merits, huh?

Even if they can’t succeed, they can still annoy me.

’I wonder if they’ll be surprised when they open Hiroshi Tanaka’s head and find it’s turned into porridge.’

...

At Half Mountain Villa, Chen Ziwen suddenly pushed off the smooth, soft body on top of him, alerted by the shrill sound of the phone, and finally picked it up.

Entertainment is entertainment.

Serious matters are serious matters...

This distinction he always understood clearly.

He wouldn’t miss important calls because he was indulging in pleasures.

"Get back here now and see what you’ve done? Can’t you even wipe your own ass? Worthless."

The call had just connected.

Chen Ziwen heard a roar in his ear.

"Dad..."

"If you can’t handle it, don’t try to manage anymore. Let your brother take over."

The call on the other end seemed already irate, not very clear, and it was immediately hung up.

Chen Ziwen was baffled; he had no idea what was happening.

Carefully considering what he had done during the day?

He had only gone to drink tea at Changqing Pavilion and interacted with the landlady.

Then, he went to the music academy and talked about love with two girls all day.

Right, before coming back, it seemed "Number Three" had reported something. The target never showed up, and he was growing impatient. So he had contacted the Poisonous Snake Society to think of something.

Was the issue with Number Three or the Poisonous Snake Society?

Thinking this, Chen Ziwen’s mind cleared a little.

He hurriedly made a call.

"What happened tonight?"

"Young master, the Poisonous Snake Society is finished. For some reason, Zhou Ping’an became extremely fierce... Please look at the video I’ve sent, and you’ll understand."

After a few unclear explanations,

the person on the other end simply sent the video to let Chen Ziwen see for himself.

As Chen Ziwen watched the video, his face turned pale, and his eyes widened.

Without a second thought, he quickly dressed,

hurried out the door, and drove away.

He didn’t even bother to say goodbye.

Of course, he didn’t forget to make another call: "No matter what, you must find an opportunity to start acting.

Don’t worry, someone will coordinate with you when the time comes. Remember, do not contact me during this period. Discard this mobile number and destroy the SIM card."

Thinking of the video he had just watched, showing Zhou Ping’an’s far-beyond-normal human strength, Chen Ziwen was puzzled and somewhat fired up.

He wondered what that thing was. If he could get his hands on it, wouldn’t he also become so powerful?

His father handled matters shrewdly, without leaving any traces, but perhaps he was too cautious sometimes.

Situations like this should be resolved quickly and decisively.

His slowness had now caused trouble to arise.

Chen Ziwen slapped himself hard on the cheek.

Thinking that after going back this time, he might be grounded, he might as well send "Number One" out too.

He couldn’t give Zhou Ping’an the chance to grow stronger.

He realized that every so often, the other party would become even more powerful.

Just like what had happened originally with Dong Qingshan.
