Chapter 439: Chapter 439
Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch's master.
At this moment, Ding Fan's expression became stern, signifying that Chen Qiang indeed had profound knowledge of the Ghost Path.
"Brother Fan, you think you are so impressive," Ruo Xin said with a smug look on his face, "People targeted by Chen Qiang don't live long. I'm going to sit here and watch how you die."
"Where is Chen Qiang, do you know?" Ding Fan asked.
Ruo Xin glanced at Ding Fan by his side. He hadn't expected that after telling Ding Fan about Chen Qiang being a Grand Elder of the Myriad Demon Sect, Ding Fan would still dare to seek Chen Qiang out.
"I am a bit tired now, I need to go back and rest..." Ruo Xin stood up, stretching lazily.
"You'd better cooperate with me willingly." Ding Fan's expression became serious again.
By now, Ding Fan had almost confirmed that Chen Qiang was behind the zombie incidents in Xingcheng. To eradicate the zombies completely, one must find Chen Qiang and kill him.
Ruo Xin was the only person who knew the details about Chen Qiang, so Ding Fan needed to know Chen Qiang's whereabouts from Ruo Xin's mouth.
"Willingly cooperate with you?" Ruo Xin sneered. "What can you do if I don't cooperate — kill me? Let me remind you, this is a police station!"
Ding Fan's expression turned solemn. To find Chen Qiang, he probably couldn't care about much else.
Instantly, Ding Fan stood up abruptly, his figure flitting to Ruo Xin's side.
The interrogation room was quite small. Ding Fan reached out and lifted Ruo Xin from his seat.
Ruo Xin was truly stunned at this point; he hadn't expected that Ding Fan would actually make a move, especially in a police station.
"What... what are you doing, police, save me. Police..." Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
Ruo Xin was genuinely scared of Ding Fan. Back in Longxi, Ding Fan had almost kicked him to death. His bravado earlier was because he believed Ding Fan wouldn't dare make a move in the police station.
"Put the suspect down…" An nearby officer hastily drew his gun.
However, before he could aim at Ding Fan, Miss Mu Zi had already positioned herself in front of the officer, and Ding Fan swiftly took the officer's gun from his hand.
After Miss Mu Zi snatched the gun from that officer, she aimed it directly at him. "Stay quiet, don't disturb Brother Fan's business."
The officer, with a gun pointed at him by Miss Mu Zi, did not dare to move further, promptly raising his hands.
Ruo Xin stared in shock. This woman was even bolder, daring to snatch a police officer's gun.
"Speak, where is Chen Qiang…" Ding Fan looked solemnly at Ruo Xin whom he was holding.
"You... you…" Ruo Xin stammered, unable to complete his sentence.
Ding Fan didn't have time to waste on Ruo Xin's ramblings. He slightly increased his grip, and Ruo Xin immediately felt an immense force on his neck, feeling as if it could be twisted off by Ding Fan at any moment.
"Ah... spare me, spare me…" Tears streamed down Ruo Xin's face…
"I don't want to repeat myself," Ding Fan said calmly.
"Chen Qiang has a villa outside the city, called Immortal Residence… That's all I know… Please, let me go."
Outside the city, Immortal Residence…
Just then, the door of the interrogation room was kicked open, and a group of police officers, about seven or eight, rushed in.
Seeing these police officers come in, Ruo Xin looked as if he had seen a savior.
"Help, please, save me…" Ruo Xin cried out for help.
Now that Ding Fan had gathered all the information he needed, he threw Ruo Xin to the ground like a dead dog.
Ruo Xin, after crashing onto the floor with a thud, got up, crawling and rolling to hide behind the officers.
"Officers, hurry up and arrest these two people. This man assaulted an officer and almost killed me, arrest him!" Ruo Xin shouted to the nearby officers.
However, these officers didn't pay any heed to Ruo Xin's words. They showed no intention of making an arrest. Instead, upon entering, all the officers took their positions standing on either side.
This was hardly a preparation to make an arrest; it looked more like they were standing guard.
"Are you guys stupid, he and that woman assaulted an officer and almost killed me, catch them! Do you know who I am? I'm the Mayor's son-in-law, do you all want to keep your jobs? Believe it not, I can strip your skins off anytime…" Ruo Xin was getting rather furious.
"Who is talking so big…" Just then, a man walked in from outside.
The voice was very loud, and upon hearing it, Ruo Xin felt as if he was struck by thunder out of the blue.
For Ruo Xin, the memory of that voice was still fresh. Who else could it be if not Li Jianfeng, the father of Li Qishan?
Ruo Xin slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. When he saw the person entering from outside, his body involuntarily gave way.
The person who entered was none other than the Mayor of Xingcheng, Li Jianfeng.
"Father-in-law...no, Uncle…" After a moment of shock, Ruo Xin scrambled up to him like a pug, "Uncle, this man is unreasonable. He attacked me in the police station, and that woman even seized the officer's gun…"
At this time, Li Jianfeng was not paying attention to Ruo Xin at all; he strode towards Ding Fan.
"Brother Fan, I finally found you. Miss Mu Zi, have you two been all right?"
Brother Fan? Miss Mu Zi...
At that moment, Ruo Xin felt a bit dizzy. He rubbed his head. Li Jianfeng was a major figure, after all. What kind of people could be referred to as 'Young Master' and 'Miss' by someone like him?
When Ding Fan first saw Li Jianfeng, he roughly guessed that his visit must be related to the zombie virus, especially since Ding Fan had treated the zombie virus with acupuncture at the hotel entrance, witnessed by a policeman who watched the entire process.
At that moment, behind Li Jianfeng, more and more people continuously walked in from outside, turning the already crowded visiting room into an extremely cramped space.
"Brother Fan, let me introduce you. This is Governor Liang Shouyu!"
Li Jianfeng was busy introducing them to Ding Fan.
"Brother Fan, I am Liang Shouyu, and right now, the people of Xingcheng need you!" Liang Shouyu took two steps forward and eagerly grasped Ding Fan's hand.
Governor? Ruo Xin, standing by, stared in disbelief.
That was the governor, just one level below a national official, a powerful regional ruler! Yet such an important official was treating Ding Fan with such respect.
Ruo Xin couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ding Fan.
What kind of background did this man have to make the governor treat him so courteously?
"This isn't a good place to talk. Let's find somewhere outside," Ding Fan said indifferently.
Governor Liang nodded. This indeed was not a place for conversation. Immediately, a crowd of officials escorted Ding Fan and left the visiting room directly.
Ruo Xin, watching the group of high-ranking officials escort Ding Fan out of the inquiry room, looked envious.
After all, wasn't the prominent moment he pursued after giving up martial arts precisely what he desired...
But look at his current predicament, handcuffed and locked up within the police station.
"Ruo Xin, there's something I need to tell you,"
Just then, Mayor Li Jianfeng returned.
Ruo Xin's eyes lit up seeing Li Jianfeng come back.
Ruo Xin believed Li Jianfeng had returned definitively to get him out, after all, no matter how much Li Jianfeng disliked him, Qi San was still in love with him.
Li Jianfeng waved his hand, not letting Ruo Xin continue, and said, "I am here to tell you that Qi San has decided to completely cut ties with you. The marriage between you two is called off, and from today onwards, she asked me to tell you not to bother her anymore."
Ruo Xin stood there, stunned...
He had thought Li Jianfeng was here to release him, but he had not expected that what Li Jianfeng would actually say was this.
Li Jianfeng continued, "Also, if you ever claim to be my son-in-law again, I will sue you for fraud... I hope you will be mindful of your actions in the future!"
After saying this, Li Jianfeng did not look back and walked briskly outside.
Ruo Xin stared blankly.
Initially, in order to gain wealth and prestige, he had forsaken his love for Su Qi, and even knowing Su Qi was carrying his child, he had still sought to have her killed.
He had thought that after leaving Su Qi, he, Ruo Xin, could enjoy the riches and honors by Qi San's side...
Ruo Xin slowly raised his hand and looked at the handcuffs on his wrist.
"Haha..." Ruo Xin burst into wild laughter.
After the laughter, Ruo Xin's expression turned foolish and dazed...
"I... I am the Mayor's son-in-law... I truly am the Mayor's son-in-law..." Ruo Xin walked towards the police guarding him. "Do you know, I am the Mayor's son-in-law..."
"This man has gone mad..." said the policeman beside him, shaking his head.
He had seen many like Ruo Xin, who set their hopes too high only to gain nothing and then be crushed by reality, eventually ending up in this state.
"Let's go..." The policeman pushing Ruo Xin headed directly toward the cell block.
Meanwhile, outside Xingcheng, inside the Immortal Residence villa...
If a timid person saw the inside of the villa, they would surely be scared to death. Inside, more than a dozen zombies were roaming back and forth.
These zombies were covered in blood, emitting low, eerie moans, creating a truly terrifying scene.
At that moment, Chen Qiang sat leisurely on the couch.
"Elder... the Sect Master said we absolutely must find the person who killed our young master," said a tall, young man standing next to Chen Qiang.
Chen Qiang nodded. "Not only do we need to find the person who killed the Sect Master's son, but I also need to find the person who killed my disciple, the Myriad Ghosts Holy Monarch..."
As Chen Qiang spoke, he looked up at the roaming zombies. "I want to make them pay a price a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, a millionfold dearer!"
