Urban Martial Saint

Inside the car, Explosive Head and several others were handcuffed and taken away, while Explosive Head kept cursing furiously.

”Do you know who my uncle is? My uncle is Zhou Changyong, the Zhou Changyong from the county government! You dare to do this in front of me, I will definitely tell my uncle, I won’t let you get away with this!”

The police officer kept his head down and remained silent. Compared to Zhou Changyong, he was more afraid of Ye Qing. However, caught between the two, he found himself in a difficult position since he dared not offend either side.

Explosive Head cursed all the way back to the station. The police officer hadn’t even settled Explosive Head properly when he received a call from Wang Yuanbo.

”Did you just arrest Zhou Changyong’s nephew? Send him directly to the station and bring all the evidence from the fight as well. Also, you oversee that area, so you must know how many bad things he’s done using Zhou Changyong’s status. Collect everything and bring it to the station!”

Upon hearing this, the police officer was initially stunned, then overjoyed. He knew Wang Yuanbo was beginning to take action against Zhou Changyong. Needless to say, it must be Ye Qing’s doing, and it appeared that Ye Qing’s influence was much greater than Zhou Changyong’s!

After hanging up the phone, the police officer immediately turned around and said, ”Hold off on locking them up, send them to the station!”

Explosive Head immediately perked up, saying, ”Why are you taking us to the station? What, you know you can’t interrogate me and want someone from the station to handle it? Let me tell you, it’s useless. It’ll be the same anywhere. My uncle will definitely not let you guys off once he hears about this!”

The police officer glanced at him, raised his hand, and slapped him twice, startling Explosive Head completely.

”Damn it, still so much nonsense when you’re about to die!” the police officer said coldly. ”This time it’s not just you; your uncle will get dragged down too. You won’t let me go? I want to see how you won’t let me go!”

Explosive Head was immediately stunned. He hadn’t expected the police officer to dare hit him, nor had he expected his uncle to not be able to intimidate these people. Could it be true what the police officer said, that Zhou Changyong was in trouble too?

Meanwhile, Ye Qing invited Yue Peng and three others to sit down, and after some chit-chat, they learned about Yue Peng’s situation.

Yue Peng and his group were similar to Chen Jun, just some minor hooligans with no significant power or capability, with only two brothers following them. They would take any job, like going to help any big brother who needed extra hands, fitting the type that couldn’t make a big scene. Plus, Yue Peng was hot-tempered. If he saw something he didn’t like, he’d resolve it with his fists, which is why he had made quite a few enemies. Despite being only in his mid-twenties, he had already spent three to four years in prison, all due to loyalty or impulsive fighting.

Yue Peng’s temperament was very much to Ye Qing’s liking. After chatting for a while, Ye Qing asked him if he wanted to develop in Shenchuan City.

Yue Peng was not aware of Ye Qing’s identity, but having seen how the police acted around Ye Qing, he knew Ye Qing was no ordinary person. And the way Da Fei dealt with those punks had also impressed and amazed him. Thus, when Ye Qing brought up this possibility, he agreed without much hesitation.

In fact, Yue Peng and his group didn’t have much going for them in Shenchuan City either. The money they earned each month wasn’t even enough for their own expenses, and sometimes they had to take part-time jobs like internet café managers. Now with an opportunity to develop in Shenchuan City and to follow a figure like Ye Qing, for them, it was a great chance to make a name for themselves, and how could they refuse?

That evening, Ye Qing arranged rooms for them at the county guesthouse. However, Yue Peng and his group barely slept that night, as Da Fei had called Chen Jun and Hou San out of the hospital to play cards in the room all night. Ye Qing brought out ten thousand yuan for Yue Peng and his group to play with, his generosity also shocking Yue Peng and his friends.

Throughout the night, Yue Peng and his friends ended up winning some, while Da Fei lost quite a bit, basically giving back what he’d won at the hospital. But whether they won or lost, it was all Ye Qing’s money circulating among them, like water that doesn’t flow into fields of outsiders, so nobody took it too seriously. However, playing through the night deepened their camaraderie significantly, to the point of calling each other brothers and being very close.

Ye Qing had originally planned to stay at home for a few more days, but the next morning, bright and early, he received an excited call from Zhao Chengshuang that sounded as if he had some good news.

Ye Qing checked the time; it was just past six in the morning. Zhao Chengshuang was really early with his call.

”What’s so exciting that you’re calling at six in the morning? Aren’t you sleeping?” Ye Qingqi asked.

Zhao Chengshuang said, ”It’s not about me, it’s about you. I’m happy for you!”

”My matter? What about me?” Ye Qingqi asked.

”Haven’t you been searching for your brother? The results for all the autopsies from that car have come back...”

By this point, Zhao Chengshuang had paused deliberately, causing Ye Qing’s breathing to become abruptly rapid as he anxiously asked, ”What happened? What happened? Did you find my brother?”

”I regret to say…” Zhao Chengshuang drew out his words, causing Ye Qing’s heart to instantly hang in suspense. When it came to his brother Ye Jun’s affairs, he could no longer remain calm.

”I regret to say we didn’t find your brother’s remains!” Zhao Chengshuang burst out laughing, ”Which means, at that time your brother wasn’t sitting in that car!”

Ye Qing was stunned on the spot, holding the phone with his expression frozen, unsure what to say for a long while. After a lengthy pause, he finally covered his chest, clenched his fists, and suddenly jumped up several times on the spot, finally managing to calm himself down a bit.

”I’m coming back right away!” Ye Qing shouted into the phone, realizing that his brother Ye Jun wasn’t in the car, which meant he might not be dead. Since he might be alive, Ye Qing had to find him no matter what!

Zhao Chengshuang was also very excited and said, ”Don’t be too anxious now, we only know he wasn’t in that car. But finding him might not be so easy. Finish up your family matters in the next two days and come back soon. They’ve already started building your orphanage, you have to come back and check on it yourself. I have some matters here too, Hua Yu is returning to Shenchuan City in the next few days, so I’ll have to check on her as well. Contact me when you get back!”

”Hua Yu is coming back too?” Ye Qing asked, surprised, ”Isn’t she supposed to be studying in Xi Hang?”

”What are you talking about, she was just there to hide from He Ziqiang. Now that He Ziqiang is dead, there’s nothing to worry about,” Zhao Chengshuang paused and then said, ”I heard that the favorite granddaughter of the old lady from Xi Hang will probably be visiting Shenchuan City too; I’ve got to check her out, they say she’s a stunning beauty.”

”You, you never change, do you!” Ye Qing laughed, noting Zhao Chengshuang’s unchanged flirtatious nature.

Zhao Chengshuang laughed, ”Everyone has a love for beauty. I’ll scout the terrain first. If she’s really as beautiful as the legends say, I’ll introduce you to her one day!”

Ye Qing said, ”Forget it, I don’t need that!”

”Right, you’ve got Miss Huangfu, of course you wouldn’t be interested in other girls!” Zhao Chengshuang teased with a laugh.

Ye Qing said, ”Go ahead and talk about her behind her back, one of these days I’ll call her and pass along everything you’ve said!”

”Oh come on, big bro, it’s just a joke, don’t take it so seriously!” Zhao Chengshuang immediately said in a nervous tone, ”Don’t, don’t, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Please don’t tell her, I still want to live a few more years!”

Ye Qing laughed heartily, Zhao Chengshuang, this guy fear neither heaven nor earth, but he was extremely afraid of those two women from Eastern Province. No help for it, those two women were truly terrifying. East State Poisonous Mantis, Xikou Fire Butterfly, even now Ye Qing felt a chill thinking about them!

Having heard the joyous news that his brother was not dead, Ye Qing was also very excited and couldn’t wait to return to Shenchuan City immediately.

In the morning, he settled some household matters, though there weren’t many left. His father Ye Changwen’s health had pretty much recovered, the home conditions were acceptable, and there wasn’t really anything that needed handling anymore. Over there, Feng Jianshe and Feng Xuehua had both started working; seeing the two of them satisfied with their job roles relieved Ye Qing.

Cousin Feng Yingying had returned to school, and Ye Qing had specifically arranged for her to be in Gu Xianping’s class. It’s said that the children of poor families mature early, now without worries, she wouldn’t need any attention concerning her studies.

Hou Da went to the hospital in the morning, went through an interview, and officially became a doctor at the county hospital. Hou San had relieved one of his worries and had started arranging his trip to Shenchuan City as well.

As for Chen Jun, he was even more anxious than Hou San. His parents had died, and he had virtually no family left at home. Only one aunt who really cared for him. These days, Chen Jun was playing cards with Da Fei and others; he had won over eight thousand yuan, and together with the gambling money Ye Qing gave him, it amounted to a bit more than ten thousand yuan in total, all of which he gave to his aunt, thus earning some respect from his uncle who had previously looked down on him. There was nothing for him to worry about now, and he could leave for Shenchuan City at any time.

At noon, Xu Changzhi received a call from his father and had to rush back to the province. He bid farewell to Ye Qing, exchanged phone numbers, and repeatedly urged Ye Qing to visit the provincial capital for a few days the next time he came.

Although Ye Qing and Xu Changzhi only met by chance, saving his life was as easy as lifting a hand, yet Xu Changzhi was extremely grateful to Ye Qing. Without Xu Changzhi, Ye Qing might not have been able to handle his matters in Jiuchuan County as smoothly. Just for this reason alone, he had been a great help, and Ye Qing was quite grateful to him.

After Xu Changzhi left, Huang Feiming also didn’t linger in Jiuchuan County any longer and directly returned to the city. However, the Lu Family massacre case, which hasn’t been solved to this day, was rather troublesome. Actually, there were rumors that Li Qiang had already left Pingnan Province, which made it truly hard to solve the case.

However, this aligned with Ye Qing’s wishes; he actually didn’t want Li Qiang to be caught. Although the Northwest Bandit had cruel methods, he wasn’t a bad person; he killed many, but all deserved it. As long as he could restrain himself in the future, he didn’t deserve death!
