Urban Martial Saint

Leaving the Li Family Courtyard, Ye Qing went out first and rushed to that small forest, where the three big guys were still locked in the car.

During this time, the car was almost buried in the heavy snow. Ye Qing had a hard time opening the car door; the three big guys were still unconscious. Indeed, the Coma Acupoint effect was pretty good.

Ye Qing helped the big guy unlock the acupuncture point, and soon the big guy woke up. Looking around, he was still confused and said curiously, ”Where... where is this place?”

Upon seeing Ye Qing beside him, the big guy immediately came to his senses, shivering and saying in a trembling voice, ”Big Brother, you... you’re still here?”

”Nonsense!” Ye Qing gave him a cold look and said sternly, ”Big guy, now I’m giving you a chance to make a contribution. If you seize it, you can live. If you don’t seize it, even if I don’t kill you, Li Changyuan definitely won’t spare you!”

”What... what opportunity?” The big guy looked at Ye Qing in confusion and said in a low voice, ”Didn’t you just say you wanted me to run? I might not... not necessarily die if I run, right?”

”Do you just want to keep running for the rest of your life?” Ye Qing said in a stern voice, ”Moreover, even if you run, will the Li Family let you go? If they find you, won’t you still have to die?”

Big guy opened his mouth, originally wanting to argue, but in the end, he dared not say anything. He knew that if he didn’t agree to Ye Qing, Ye Qing would absolutely not let him leave.

”What... what do you really want me to do?” The big guy said in a low voice.

Ye Qing took a deep breath and said, ”Stand out as a witness and testify against Li Changyuan!”

”Oh my!” The big guy almost jumped up and said in panic, ”What are you saying? Are you crazy? Testify against Li Changyuan? Just tell me if you want to kill me, do you need to play like this?”

”What’s wrong?” Ye Qing said sternly, ”I’m helping you. Only by dealing with Li Changyuan and his people can you live peacefully!”

”Nonsense!” The big guy stared and said, ”I definitely understand this logic, but the key problem is, does testifying against Li Changyuan work? Let me say it frankly, Li Changyuan has provincial officials backing him. Not to mention the policemen in Liaoshen City don’t dare touch him, no policeman in the entire Liaodong Province dares to. You want me to testify against him? How is this different from killing me?”

Ye Qing frowned, not expecting Li Changyuan’s background to be so deep, even reaching provincial officials. It seems this matter is even more challenging than he anticipated.

Seeing Ye Qing silent, the big guy immediately said, ”Buddy, I see you’re a smart person too. I don’t know what grudge you have with Li Changyuan, but to be honest, wanting to fight Li Changyuan in Liaodong Province is really tough. Brother, it’s not just because I’ve fallen into your hands I tell you this. My life is in your hands; if you want to kill or cut me up, I can’t do anything about it. But seriously, Li Changyuan can’t be touched. Even if you use official means, you’ll definitely suffer in the end!”

”Is that so?” Ye Qing coldly smiled and said, ”I can’t believe it, a guy selling drugs and running a casino can really cover the sky with one hand? Is there no law?”

”Ah, brother, you’re still too young. What’s the law? It’s pure nonsense. If you have money and power, you can cover the sky with one hand!” The big guy said, ”Over the years, there have been many young people like you with guts trying to deal with Li Changyuan, even some went to the Capital to complain. What happened? Li Changyuan is still living comfortably, but those who complained were either destitute or dead, miserable beyond words. Brother, I advise you, think about your family even if not for yourself. Is it worth sacrificing your family for a moment of impulse?”

The big guy began to earnestly persuade Ye Qing, trying to make him give up dealing with Li Changyuan. This way, he wouldn’t have to take risks. However, what the big guy said was indeed true. Over the years, many who tried to fight Li Changyuan faced tragic fates. That’s why he feared Li Changyuan so much.

But Ye Qing is not the same as them, right? Ye Qing dares to confront Li Changyuan in Liaodong Province mainly because he has another vital ace in the hole—Su Guoxuan, far away in the Capital!

Li Changyuan’s backing may be provincial officials, but so what? Compared to the vice national-level leader who can stir things up in the Capital, those big shots are nothing to look at!

The key issue is whether Su Guoxuan is willing to handle this matter.

Ye Qing wants the big guy to stand out and testify against Li Changyuan to collect the human evidence. Only with conclusive evidence can he ask Su Guoxuan for help. Otherwise, without any evidence, how would Su Guoxuan bother with these trivial matters?

”Don’t talk so much nonsense, let me just ask you one question.” Ye Qing said sternly, ”If I can have Li Changyuan arrested, would you be willing to come out and testify against him?”

”Ah?” The big guy looked at Ye Qing in shock and said, ”Buddy, are you serious? You can have Li Changyuan arrested?”

”That’s right!” Ye Qing nodded and said, ”If I can have him arrested, would you be willing to come out as a witness?”

The big guy thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, saying, ”Buddy, since you have said it like this, I’ll be honest too. If you truly have the ability to get Li Changyuan arrested, I’ll come out and be your witness to testify against him. But you need to give me two promises.”

”What promises?” Ye Qing asked curiously.

The big guy said, ”First, if you can’t arrest Li Changyuan, you must let me go!”

”No problem!” Ye Qing replied straightforwardly. If they couldn’t catch Li Changyuan, then keeping the fatty would be useless.

Seeing Ye Qing so decisive, the fatty was somewhat astonished. Could it be that Ye Qing really had the ability to deal with Li Changyuan? How was that possible? If Ye Qing could handle Li Changyuan, his background must be with some of the top officials in the province!

”Secondly, if you catch Li Changyuan and I come out as a witness, you must guarantee my safety,” the fatty said. ”After all, I’ve been involved in these things. Coming out as a witness can’t land me in trouble, right?”

Ye Qing knew the fatty was worried about being sentenced even if he testified.

”You can rest assured about this. I’ll help you apply,” Ye Qing said. ”As long as your report and testimony are accurate and you cooperate with the investigation, you can definitely receive a lighter sentence, at most three years!”

”That’s good!” The fatty breathed a sigh of relief. He was really scared of being sentenced to life or something, which would be deadly.

”Then it’s settled!” Ye Qing said.

The fatty shrugged and said, ”What else can I do? I’m in your hands now. It’s either death or cooperation with you.”

The fatty seemed quite open about it, and Ye Qing said nothing more, only telling the fatty to drive to the city while he took out his phone and called Su Kaicheng to report the situation.

Su Kaicheng was still handling affairs in the Southern Six Provinces when he received Ye Qing’s call and couldn’t help but be a bit surprised. However, after listening to Ye Qing, he remained silent for a moment, seemingly pondering something.

After a long time, Su Kaicheng finally said in a low voice, ”Ye Qing, are you sure this person controls the entire drug business in Liaodong Province?”

”Ninety-five percent of the drug business,” Ye Qing supplemented.

”By the way...” The fatty suddenly turned while driving and said, ”I heard that Li Changyuan also handled some arms.”

”What?” Ye Qing’s face changed, turning to the fatty urgently. ”Is this information reliable or not?”

”Of course it’s reliable!” The fatty said, ”I saw that batch of arms with my own eyes. They were transported from the Soviet Union, but he was only a middleman.”

This news made Ye Qing take a deep breath. If true, the matter was even more serious. Drug trafficking and arms trafficking were two different matters.

”Not only drug business, but he also seems involved in the arms business!” Ye Qing said gravely to Su Kaicheng.

”Arms!?” Su Kaicheng exclaimed, obviously equally shocked.

”Wait a moment, I’ll make a call back to ask,” Su Kaicheng said.

Ye Qing hung up the phone, knowing that Su Kaicheng was now paying attention to this situation. This call was undoubtedly to Su Guoxuan to see his opinion.

”Buddy, who are you calling?” The fatty asked Ye Qing while driving. ”From the voice, he sounds young. Can he be trusted? Let me tell you, to topple Li Changyuan, you need at least those top provincial officials. Others are no good!”

Ye Qing didn’t answer him, waiting there for about ten minutes before Su Kaicheng’s call finally came back.

”How’s it going?” Ye Qing answered the phone directly with this question.

”If this is true, then this is a major case!” Su Kaicheng said gravely. ”I just asked my dad. He said it’s a local matter and to handle it, it must go through the police department. However, he can urge the police department to deal with this!”

”There’s no time for that!” Ye Qing said urgently. ”Is there any way to arrest these people by tomorrow?”

”That sounds difficult,” Su Kaicheng pondered after a moment. ”If this person can run such a big business in Liaodong Province, he likely has support behind him. Trying to use local police in Liaodong Province to catch him is basically impossible. And if using police across provinces, it requires coordination from the police department. It’s quite cumbersome. Even if my dad supervises this personally, it still requires procedure, and a day is definitely not enough.”

Ye Qing immediately frowned. He only had one day. If he couldn’t manage it by then, it would be troublesome. Once Northern Martial Zen entered Liaodong Province, it wouldn’t be up to them anymore.

”However, it’s not completely impossible,” Su Kaicheng suddenly said. ”If you’re really short on time, there’s a way to have them directly arrested by tomorrow!”
