Everyone was astonished by Yang Feilong's courage, seeing him show no fear towards the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared. He was incredibly audacious!
"I am an official! I suspect you of impersonating an official and maliciously harming the relatives of officials. I am now arresting you! If you dare to resist, I will consider you to be resisting arrest, and you will bear all consequences!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man's cold gaze lunged towards Yang Feilong.
Whoosh!
An afterimage flashed, and in the next moment, he was beside Yang Feilong.
This seemingly casual grab was extraordinary; an ordinary ancient martial arts practitioner would be severely injured!
Clearly, seeing his most beloved nephew's face slapped swollen and then being stepped on – such a profound humiliation – he couldn't just let it go. Before arresting Yang Feilong, he intended to mete out some punishment. If Yang Feilong dared to resist arrest, it wouldn't be a major issue even if he killed him.
"Hmph!" A sneer played on Yang Feilong's lips.
Following the incoming hand, he threw out a punch.
Leng Guangchao had initially worn a look of disdain. In his eyes, even if Yang Feilong was a cultivator in the Lingwu realm, he wouldn't be able to withstand his grab. He was, after all, a cultivator in the Yuanwu realm.
But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically. His grab felt as if it had struck a bronze wall.
Clang!
With a deafening sound, the middle-aged man, Leng Guangchao, was sent flying backward. Looking at his five fingers that had lunged at Yang Feilong, they were bloody.
"You..." Leng Guangchao stared at Yang Feilong with shock in his eyes. He was in the Yuanwu realm. The moment he made his move, he felt as if he had hit a bronze wall. He immediately unleashed all his strength, but even then, his palm was injured.
At this moment, everyone else was stunned. Was Yang Feilong truly an official? Otherwise, why would he dare to fight back, and with such ruthless force!
Most importantly, he was so powerful!
The middle-aged man, Leng Guangchao, looked intimidating enough, and this fellow was even superior!
Especially Leng Guangjiang and his son, Leng Yi. They knew Leng Guangchao's strength, and precisely because they knew it, they were even more shocked than others!
"Boss, please stop fighting!" Just then, a figure called out somewhat anxiously, "We're all on the same side!"
"Same side?" Leng Guangchao fell into thought as he looked at the subordinate who had rushed in.
"This is Yang Feilong, our new Divine Constable from the police station!" the subordinate said with an embarrassed expression after rushing over.
"He's that new Divine Constable?" Leng Guangchao had been on a mission elsewhere and had only just returned today. He only knew that the Lan Hai City police station had gained a new Divine Constable with immense power, but he never imagined this new Divine Constable would be so young. Moreover, after their brief exchange, he sensed that Yang Feilong's strength was unfathomable, far surpassing his own mid-stage Yuanwu realm cultivation. He just wished this subordinate had spoken up earlier, seeing the subordinate's somewhat resentful expression.
The subordinate also looked resentful. "You immediately rushed in after hearing your nephew was injured. How could I possibly keep up with you? The moment I saw it was Yang Feilong, the Divine Constable, I wanted to warn you, but you had already made your move and suffered a significant loss."
"Yes." The subordinate, Wang Quan, looked at Yang Feilong with respect mixed with a touch of flattery, saying, "Divine Constable Yang, Lord Leng was unaware of your strength. Please forgive him."
Leng Guangchao's attack could be considered insubordination. Although Yang Feilong was an external hire, the organization would naturally not emphasize that. Instead, they would highlight that he had fewer privileges than regular staff, though also fewer responsibilities.
Even so, the position of a one-star Divine Constable was above that of a three-star renowned constable.
Furthermore, Yang Feilong was a key figure being groomed by the organization, possessing even greater authority than a typical external one-star Divine Constable, despite having the same responsibilities.
At this moment, everyone present was utterly bewildered. Divine Constable?
They had naturally heard of the position of Divine Constable and the immense power it wielded in matters of public security.
Such a young Divine Constable? His status was truly extraordinary!
Li Yufei blinked her eyes. "Is this my man? When did he become a Divine Constable?"
She naturally understood what a Divine Constable represented.
Even if he had killed Leng Yi and the rest of the Leng family, it would have been permissible.
The right was on Yang Feilong's side. Therefore, Leng Guangchao was in an extremely awkward predicament, unable to back down.
He wanted to apologize now, but he wasn't sure if it would be effective. He had used considerable force earlier. If the other party seized upon this point to hold him accountable, he wouldn't face severe punishment, but he would certainly be reprimanded. Meanwhile, his nephew would be finished!
"Lord Yang, I just spoke with Lord Tie on the phone. Lord Tie is nearby and will arrive soon," Wang Quan added.
"Lord Tie Rushan?" Yang Feilong spoke at this moment.
"Yes!" Wang Quan nodded vigorously.
Since this person mentioned Tie Rushan's name, he was clearly an insider. Yang Feilong vaguely recalled seeing him at the police station before, but he hadn't paid much attention.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was rather tense. In the next moment, a figure swept into the hall. Light flashed, as if starlight condensed, and it was Tie Rushan.
Many people recognized Tie Rushan. He was a prominent figure in Lan Hai City's public security and management, not the absolute highest-ranking, but one of the highest.
"Feilong, Guangchao, why are you fighting!" Tie Rushan looked at the two with exasperation.
Leng Guangchao was one of his subordinates.
As for Yang Feilong, he was a protégé favored by Tie Rushan and his fifth uncle. Now, they were colleagues of equal standing. Of course, Tie Rushan was officially employed and held a slightly higher position. Not to mention, the other party was also his savior.
"It's just a small matter. I didn't expect to trouble Uncle Tie by having him make a trip," Yang Feilong said apologetically.
As for the foot on Leng Yi's body, he had already removed it. Knowing the other party's identity, he understood that this matter likely wouldn't escalate severely. Of course, he was in the right, and he wasn't afraid of any repercussions. However, it would surely disappoint those who had a favorable impression of him.
"It's no trouble for me to come, as you and I are now peers, and you are my savior," Tie Rushan said with a helpless smile. "But we are all on the same side; it's better to sort things out."
Upon hearing this.
Leng Guangchao's heart pounded. Good heavens, not only was his rank equal to his superior's, but he was also the boss's savior.
"This matter is also my responsibility. I acted without understanding the situation and sought trouble!" Leng Guangchao said with a wry smile. He then reprimanded Leng Yi, "Why aren't you apologizing to Divine Constable Yang?"
Leng Yi had been completely stunned since seeing his third uncle beaten and then learning of Yang Feilong's identity. His mind was in turmoil, and he felt a sense of injustice he couldn't express. He had offended someone, and this someone was a big shot whom even his third uncle couldn't afford to offend—no, his third uncle's superior.
And his third uncle was the pillar of their family!
Now, he had to apologize to his romantic rival. The feeling was unbearably stifling.
Yang Feilong watched him with amusement, which only made his face turn red. Well, his face was already swollen, so it wasn't visible, but he knew how much power a Divine Constable held. If he didn't comply, and the other party took his anger out on their Leng family, his third uncle might not be able to protect him.
"Divine Constable Yang, I apologize. I apologize for my insolent words. Please be magnanimous and forgive my ignorance!" It had to be said that Leng Yi was quite a character, managing to suppress his anger. Of course, he had no choice but to endure it, as anger was pointless.
"On account of Lord Tie and your third uncle, this matter will be dropped. However, if you still wish to cause me trouble, feel free to come at me!" Yang Feilong looked deeply at Leng Yi and said calmly.
"I wouldn't dare!" Leng Yi said quickly.
He truly dared not. After learning the other party's name, he realized this was likely Yang Feilong, the number one on the Heavenly Pride Ranking.
The number one on the Earthly Ranking of the Heavenly Pride Ranking!
He had defeated the former number one on the Earthly Ranking, Yang Fantian of the Yang family.
He was suspected to be in the Diwu realm. Even if his entire family attacked him, they probably wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest!
