A few minutes later…

All the hostages who had been held in Guan Qing Hall had been rescued. Xiao Hang led the Secret Service agents into the hall. They simultaneously responded to the hostages while also arresting the thugs inside.

Xiao Hang was most worried about Zhao Yu’s safety, so once he entered the hall, the first thing he did was look for Zhao Yu. He found Zhao Yu and the hostages were all safe, but Zhao Yu was behaving oddly, which made him feel uneasy.

At that moment, Zhao Yu was sitting with his back to the door in a secluded corner at the side of the hall, holding a man in his arms. Zhao Yu was stroking the man’s forehead. The man appeared to have been stricken with insanity and was muttering something non-stop. This…

Xiao Hang froze for a moment, worried that Zhao Yu was in some kind of danger. He hurriedly, but carefully, walked over with his pistol.

“Mmmm… mmhmm… I see. I am very satisfied with your answer, but I have another important question… uhm…” Zhao Yu said.

When Xiao Hang heard what Zhao Yu was saying, he became even more confused. The gentle and thoughtful mannerisms Zhao Yu was speaking with made it feel like he was courting the man. What was crazier was that Zhao Yu was not wearing any pants and only had a pair of red boxers on…

What…?

Had Zhao Yu become concussed and lost his mind?

Xiao Hang was about to ask what had happened, but Zhao Yu turned his head around and gestured for him to move further away, asking Xiao Hang not to bother him. This… Xiao Hang could see clearly now that Zhao Yu was actually holding the head of one of the thugs. Not just any thug, but the masked man himself! What was he doing? Was he possessed?

Tsch!

Seeing that Xiao Hang was not leaving, Zhao Yu had no choice but to gesture for him to come closer. After Xiao Hang took a few more steps, he whispered while pointing into the distance. “These people have poison stashed in their teeth, get it out quickly. If you don’t leave now, they’ll kill themselves!”

“Oh…” Xiao Hang said, quickly realizing the situation. He led his men to check on the other criminals. After he saw the other side of the palace, he saw the messy state the area had become after the big fight. The dragon chair was all crooked and the chairs and screen were all broken. What was even worse was the tragic appearance of the criminals.

It was clear that none of the three men had escaped the wrath of the iron shovels, even the skinny thug who had been hit by the taser had been beaten by one. The angered crowd had hit the three of them until their skin broke open and their faces became unrecognizable. It was hard to look at.

Although they had pa.s.sed out, Xiao Hang dare not let his guard down. One of them was still strapped with a bomb, after all. He immediately called over the professional bomb disposal team to deal with the explosives, after which the technical team removed the poison from their mouths that Zhao Yu had warned them about.

“Tsk, tsk…” Xiao Hang stood above the excavated pit, s.h.i.+ning a flashlight in. There was only darkness and a musky smell, nothing could be seen. By now, he had guessed that the excavated pa.s.sage was probably not where the treasure was hidden, but a pa.s.sage the criminals were planning to use to escape. However, although the hostages had been safely rescued and the criminals had been properly arrested, he was still confused about what had actually happened.

“Leader, the experts from the tourist area are coming soon!” an agent said. “They should know what’s underneath! Look at the smooth entrance, there are obvious signs of sanding. This means it’s probably an ancient secret pa.s.sage, right?

“Leader… is the treasure that’s been so elusive the past 80 years really there?” he asked excitedly.

“Impossible!” Xiao Hang said, clapping his hands together and shaking his head. “Those criminals knew they couldn’t escape, so why would they dig a hole? It doesn’t make sense!”

“Then… what does this all mean?” the man asked.

Xiao Hang sighed. He looked at Zhao Yu in the distance and knew that if he wanted to find out the truth, he had no choice but to ask the G.o.dly detective himself…

But, when he looked, he saw Zhao Yu holding the masked man tenderly in his arms. The masked man was mumbling something. What was going on?!

Deep in thought, Xiao Hang suddenly noticed a small leather bag on the ground. He crouched down and opened the bag. Inside he saw a needle and drugs. Oh! It was then that he realized what the amazing Zhao Yu had done. He had probably given the masked man some truth serum and asked the man to tell him everything!

What a pro! Zhao Yu really is a pro! Xiao Hang thought. He couldn’t help but gain a whole new level of respect for Zhao Yu. This trick was truly brilliant. It was like giving them a taste of their own medicine! He really did not expect that Zhao Yu could still come up with something like that after such a huge fight. Xiao Hang would need a lot more training to reach Zhao Yu’s level.

The more Xiao Hang thought, the more convinced he was that he was inferior to Zhao Yu.

“Let me in, let me in!” Suddenly, a woman’s impatient shouting could be heard from the entrance of the hall. Xiao Hang saw it was Cui Lizhu and she could no longer wait. Cui Lizhu was obviously anxious, as she hadn’t heard from Zhao Yu since he entered the hall. She was so anxious that she had repeatedly asked Xiao Hang for permission to barge in and save everyone.

Xiao Hang had refused her request, so she had initially wanted to forcefully go in alone. Because of this, he had no choice but to get someone to watch her. Who would have thought that she would still run over? However, now that the danger was gone, Xiao Hang had no reason to stop her and signaled to his men to let her in.

“Boss, boss!” Cui Lizhu shouted.

Because Zhao Yu had been sitting in the corner, Cui Lizhu did not see him at first. She yelled twice and he didn’t respond. Seeing Xiao Hang’s heavy expression, she cried out, “Boss, where are you? Boss… didn’t you promise me…? You can’t…”

“Hey!” Xiao Hang was shocked and hurriedly rushed over to stop her. “What are you shouting about? Can’t you see that your boss is still attending to official business? Shus.h.!.+”

“What?” Cui Lizhu followed the direction of Xiao Hang’s finger and saw Zhao Yu sitting in the corner. Seeing that Zhao Yu was alright, her face lit up momentarily, before immediately frowning when she saw what Zhao Yu was doing.

“Uhm, what is the boss doing facing the wall? Just what is he thinking?” While she was wondering aloud, her cell phone rang. It was Miao Ying calling.

“h.e.l.lo?” Cui Lizhu answered.

“Lil’ Cui, where is Zhao Yu? Is he with you?” Miao Ying asked. “Why is he not answering his phone again?”

“Uhm, he’s here! I can see him!” Cui Lizhu answered.

“Okay!” Miao Ying said hurriedly. “Tell him to rest easy. We’ve caught all the criminals at the Wen Yuan Pavilion! There are no issues with bombs either!”

“Oh, okay! Hmm…” Cui Lizhu was still confused.

“Right. What’s going in Guan Qing Hall now? Have the hostages been rescued?” Miao Ying asked.

“Ah, they’re rescued all right. The criminals have been caught, too! Rest a.s.sured, there were no casualties amongst the hostages and boss is fine!” Cui Lizhu answered with little thought.

“Eh? What do you mean?” Miao Ying asked when she heard the phrasing. “What do you mean boss is fine? Don’t tell me… did Zhao Yu do something stupid again? Could it be… he played with his life again?”

“This… ah, this… hahaha!” Cui Lizhu didn’t know what to say and glanced at Zhao Yu. After seeing his red briefs, she half-jokingly said, “It’s just that his pants were torn, so he has to buy new pants… hahaha!”

“What? Pants?” Miao Ying asked, surprised.

“Leader Miao!” At that point, Xiao Hang could no longer bear it and quickly grabbed the cellphone, asking loudly, “What do you mean by criminals at Wen Yuan Pavilion? Is there something wrong over there?!”

“What?” Miao Ying was even more surprised. “You don’t know? Zhao Yu didn’t tell you?”

“Hmm… no!” Xiao Hang said. He looked embarra.s.sed.

“Leader Xiao!” Miao Ying said excitedly, “The hijacking of Guan Qing and all the previous smoke bombs were all decoys! Their real goal was Wen Yuan Pavilion!”

“What?! Wen Yuan Pavilion?” Xiao Hang asked, shocked.

“Yes!” Miao Ying said excitedly. “Actually, the real treasure is below Wen Yuan Pavilion! They already dug the hole!”
