  “Brother-in-law, teach me how you do it!”

  Qin Gang came over and said courteously.

  Tang Hao rolled his eyes and said, “It’s not something that you can learn!”

  Qin Gang immediately seemed resentful.

  “I’ll take the glass type, and the rest is yours. OK?” Tang Hao said helplessly.

  “You’re so nice, Brother-in-law!” Qin Gang immediately beamed with joy.

  After having lunch together, Tang Hao went home.

  At about seven o’clock in the evening, he was ready to go out. He went to the basement parking lot and just as he sat in the car, his phone rang. It was a call from Sun Yi.

  Tang Hao was stunned. Sun Yi was Qin Gang’s secretary.

  Did something happen?

  An ominous premonition arose in Tang Hao’s heart.

  As a cultivator, he was usually right with his premonitions.

  When he answered the call, Sun Yi’s extremely panicked voice could be heard. “Lil Tang, he… he’s in an accident…” She sounded as though she was crying.

  Tang Hao’s expression changed slightly, and he asked softly, “What happened?”

  “He got caught in a car accident. Just now, I was on the phone with him, but suddenly, he cried out in panic, and the call was cut off. I couldn’t get through to him anymore.”

  Tang Hao heaved a sigh of relief. Qin Gang had one of the jade pendants. A car accident would not harm him.

  “Don’t panic! Where is he?” Tang Hao asked.

  “Well… I don’t know either. I only know that he’s at the east side of the city.”

  “Where are you?”

  “I’m at home!”

  “Then I’ll get someone to check on it and come pick you up!”

  “OK!” She responded and began to sob. “It’s all my fault. I knew that he was driving, but I called him anyway.”

  “He’ll be fine. Don’t worry!” Tang Hao said.

  After the call ended, Tang Hao called Zhao Wuyang and asked him if he knew about any car accidents on the east side of the city.

  It had been a few minutes since the car accident. Someone must have called the police.

  Soon, Zhao Wuyang came back with the information he wanted.

  Tang Hao rushed out and went to pick up Sun Yi before driving to the location of the accident.

  A crowd had already surrounded the accident scene. Ambulances, the traffic police, and even the fire department had arrived.

  “Tsk tsk, how curious! The crash was so terrible, but the driver is fine. He didn’t even lose any limbs. How lucky!”

  Everyone looked inside and whispered among themselves.

  Tang Hao and Sun Yi squeezed through the crowd.

  They saw the car that was deformed from the crash. It was quite a tragic scene.

  Several firefighters were trying to pry open the deformed car door and get to the driver inside.

  “Hang in there!” A firefighter shouted into the car.

  Sun Yi rushed in that direction, but the traffic police stopped her.

  “That’s my boss. Is he OK?” Sun Yi asked anxiously.

  “He’s conscious, but he’s stuck inside,” the traffic police replied. “We’re trying to rescue him. Hey! What are you doing? Come back here!”

  While he talked to Sun Yi, he caught sight of someone walking past him.

  The police officer wanted to stop him, but that person went to the car and said to the firefighters, “Excuse me!”

  The firefighters were stunned.

  “You shouldn’t be here. Go away!” One of the firefighters waved his hand at Tang Hao.

  Tang Hao did not say a word. He took another step forward, grabbed the car door, and pulled.

  Under the terrified gazes of the firefighters, he removed the car door with his bare hands.

  “What the hell!” They blurted.

  They looked at Tang Hao as though they were looking at a monster.

  The traffic police and the onlookers were all stunned.

  Tang Hao threw the car door aside, dusted his hands, and said with a smile, “I happen to be quite strong!”

  ‘What the hell?

  ‘That’s not ‘strong,’ that’s inhuman!’

  The firefighters almost rolled their eyes.

  They thought about it and could only come up with one explanation. What could it be if not for innate super-strength? He could not be a monster!

  Then, they came to their senses and hurriedly pulled out the person inside.

  Qin Gang’s face was pale, and he looked a little dazed. He was still in shock.

  Blood was flowing out from a cut on his forehead.

  Other than that, there were no other injuries.

  “Boss!”

  Sun Yi rushed forward and hugged him. She was so happy that she almost cried.

  Qin Gang eventually calmed down. When he saw Sun Yi’s face clearly, he became a little agitated. He hugged her tightly and said, “Let’s get married!”

  “Huh?”

  Sun Yi was stunned.

  Even Tang Hao was stunned.

  “Let’s get married! We must get married! Earlier, when I thought I was going to die, all I could think of was you!”

  As he said that, he kneeled on one knee and grabbed Sun Yi’s hand.

  “I don’t have a diamond ring now or anything else, but I’ll make it up to you. I’ll give you a big diamond ring, OK?”

  Sun Yi was stunned. She did not know how to react.

  She had dreamed of that many times, but she had never expected it to come so suddenly.

  Looking at the car wreck behind him, she wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

  “Are you serious? At this place?”

  She felt resentful, but happy tears poured out of her eyes.

  The EMTs who wanted to examine Qin Gang, as well as the crowd of onlookers, were shocked by the scene.

  ‘Wait a minute, what’s going on?’

  “A proposal! This is a proposal!”

  “Wow! He’s an opportunist!”

  The crowd burst into laughter.

  “Marry him! Marry him!” Following that, they cheered.

  Qin Gang grabbed Sun Yi’s hand and looked at her lovingly.

  Sun Yi stood there, sobbing and tears rolling down her face.

  Suddenly, she laughed again. “Alright! Stop it! I’ll agree to it! Go get yourself examined and treat that wound on your head! You look ghastly.”

  “Really?”

  “Really!” Sun Yi glared at him.

  Qin Gang cheered, stood up, hugged her, and kissed her.

  The crowd burst into laughter again.

  “How reckless. That guy just survived a car crash, and he immediately proposes to his girlfriend!”

  Tang Hao stood at the side and smiled, feeling somewhat gratified.

  That was good news!

  Chapter 710 - Smuggling Ring

  After a while, Qin Gang was brought to the ambulance to treat the wound on his forehead.

  “Brother-in-law, that car… seemed to be coming straight for me.”

  Qin Gang pulled Tang Hao to one side and whispered to him so that Sun Yi could not hear.

  Tang Hao frowned. “Are you sure?”

  “Of course, I can’t be mistaken. The car came straight at me! If it weren’t for your jade pendant, I would have died!” Qin Gang still had a lingering fear.

  He thought for a moment and said, “Oh, right, it can’t be that Nanyang guy, right? Other than him, I haven’t offended anyone!”

  Tang Hao pondered for a moment and said, “Go and get examined first. Let me handle this!” Then, he raised his head and glanced at Sun Yi.

  “Now that you’ve decided to get married, then… be more responsible from now on! No more casual flings!”

  Qin Gang blushed. “I know… From now on, we’ll work hard, improve the factory, and live our lives together.

  “Actually, we’ve never even kissed or made out! I’ve always felt tha
t I’m not good enough for her. She’s too good for me. I’m afraid I’ll let her down.

  “What happened earlier gave me courage!”

  Tang Hao smiled, patted his shoulder, and turned to leave.

  He realized that he was not in the position to make any comment about Qin Gang’s relationships. He owed the woman he loved too much.

  After getting into the car, he took out the qi compass.

  The needle swayed and pointed toward the north of the city.

  Previously, Tang Hao had left a qi signature on the plump man so that he could track him with the compass.

  Following the compass’s directions, he drove across the city and arrived at the suburbs.

  The compass eventually led him to a garbage dump.

  Tang Hao was surprised when he looked at his surroundings. He wondered if the compass was faulty.

  That plump man was a billionaire who could afford to lose five hundred million yuan. He should be living in a luxurious villa instead of a garbage dump.

  “This is weird!”

  He muttered, put away the compass, and sneaked inside.

  The piles of garbage were like mountains. Next to it were several makeshift houses with their lights on. From the shouts, they were playing poker across several tables.

  The plump man’s voice was among them.

  He was speaking in Nanyangese, but Tang Hao had studied that, so he knew what the man was talking about.

  “Curse my luck! I lost five hundred million earlier, and now I’m losing again!” The plump man cursed angrily. “That despicable brat, I’ll find out who he is and kill him!

  “Killing that loudmouth isn’t too bad either. How dare he insult me!

  “Come, let’s continue!”

  Hearing that, Tang Hao’s gaze turned cold. It really was that guy.

  At that moment, he was filled with killing intent. He wanted to slaughter that group of people.

  On second thought, he stopped himself.

  Something fishy was going on!

  Perhaps they were some shady dealings.

  He hid in a corner and waited for a long time. Then, he heard the plump man say, “What’s going on? It’s almost half-past nine. Why isn’t the grandmaster here yet?”

  “I just contacted him, Big Bro. He’ll be here soon!”

  “Damn these cowards. What’s there to be afraid of? Last year, they said that there was a freak in Huaxia, and this year, they said that the freak has become a monster. Tch! What’s going on here?

  “If not for those cowards, I wouldn’t have to come myself!”

  The plump man said angrily.

  Tang Hao was piqued when he heard that.

  ‘Grandmaster? Is this related to a cultivator?’

  At ten o’clock, three trucks carrying the logo of a certain freight company arrived at the entrance of the dump.

  “The goods are here!”

  Two people walked out of the house, opened the gate, and let the trucks in.

  Another ten minutes later, a black Toyota drove in, and a middle-aged man came out. He did not have the signature felt hat or black suitcase, but Tang Hao could sense that he had a qi aura.

  Undoubtedly, he was a Nanyang shaman.

  “Grandmaster Khunka!”

  Everyone in the house walked out. The plump man took the lead and cupped his fists toward the grandmaster.

  “Let’s get this done with. I have somewhere else to be!” Grandmaster Khunka said.

  The plump man despised the shaman, but he did not show it on his face. He took off the ring on his right hand and handed it over.

  The grandmaster took the ring and fiddled with it. Boxes materialized on the ground and piled up high.

  His lackeys walked up, pried open the boxes, and took out bags filled with white stuff. Then, they opened the trucks, took out the toys from the crates inside, then filled the crates with the bags.

  The plump man walked up and opened a bag. He dipped his finger into it and put it into his mouth.

  “Mm! The quality is not bad! This is good stuff!”

  Tang Hao understood what was going on. Those bags of white stuff were drugs!

  Those Nanyangese were using pocket dimensions to smuggle drugs into the country!

  His gaze turned cold, and his killing intent soared.

  Drugs were harmful to society. How many families would be ruined by this shipment alone?

  After the drugs were crates after crates of firearms. The amount was somewhat shocking.

  Tang Hao was unable to contain his anger.

  “Alright, now that the goods are taken out, I should go!” The grandmaster handed the ring back to the plump man and said goodbye.

  “Why the rush, Grandmaster?” The plump man said with a smile.

  “You don’t know how terrifying Huaxia is these days. Too many people have died here!” As he said that, he cupped his hands and said, “Enough talk. I should go! The earlier I leave, the better!”

  “Take care! Nice working with you!” The plump man said.

  The grandmaster turned around and was about to enter the car.

  At that moment, they heard a shout from a corner. “Since you’re here, why are you leaving so quickly?”

  Everyone was stunned. They turned their heads and looked in that direction.

  A figure walked out from behind a pile of trash.

  “Who are you?”

  “F*ck! You’re not the cops, right?”

  They cried out in surprise and were about to reach for their guns.

  At that moment, gunshots rang out. Bang! Bang! Bang! More than ten shots were fired in an instant.

  Blood spurted out from the foreheads of the lackeys, and they fell to the ground.

  Only the plump man and the grandmaster were left standing.

  The plump man turned around to look. When he saw the corpses all over the ground, his entire body trembled, and a look of terror appeared on his face.

  He was about to ask the grandmaster for help but noticed that the grandmaster was in a worse state than him. His entire body was trembling, and his face had turned pale.

  It was as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

  “You… you’re the…”

  He raised a trembling finger and pointed at Tang Hao as he stuttered.

  He could not say the last word no matter how hard he tried!

  “You… How dare you!” Tang Hao grunted coldly and walked forward.

  “No… this has nothing to do with me! It’s all his fault. He ordered me to do it!” The master said in a panic and fell on his knees.

  “F*ck you! It’s all my fault? You took half of the money!” The plump man cursed, then turned toward Tang Hao. “It’s all his idea. You saw it too. The ring is his.”

  Chapter 711 - A Major Case

  “Shut up, both of you are not good people!” Tang Hao reprimanded.

  As he spoke, he walked forward and snatched the ring. After fiddling with it for a while, he sneered, “How smart! I didn’t know you could smuggle drugs and firearms with Artifacts!”

  “It… It really wasn’t my idea!” The plump man said in a trembling voice.

  When his gaze landed on that blurry face, his heart trembled.

  How scary!

  That guy was definitely stronger than Grandmaster Khunka! Otherwise, why would the grandmaster be so scared? Could that guy be the monster he mentioned earlier?

  He gulped hard, and his face became paler.

  ‘Dammit, this is my unluckiest day ever!’ He cursed in his heart.

  Tang Hao walked over and opened the crates one by one. Seeing all the drugs and firearms inside, his expression became gloomier and gloomier. How many people would be harmed by all these things?

  “How long has this been going on?” He turned to them and asked coldly.

  “Not… Not very long!” The plump man hurriedly shook his head.

  “You’re not telling the truth!” Tang Hao raised his hand and slapped him, se
nding him flying.

  Then, he took out his phone and informed General Bai about the matter.

  “What? There’s such a thing? F*ck, these Nanyangese are too despicable! Just wait. I’ll send someone over right away.

  “We’ll have to thoroughly investigate this. No one shall be spared!”

  General Bai was furious.

  Drugs and firearms caused great harm to society.

  The Agency would not be involved in a usual smuggling case. However, they had to intervene because cultivators were involved.

  Tang Hao put his phone down and thought for a moment. He decided to call Zhao Qingxue instead of Zhao Wuyang.

  It was a major case. It would be a great service to crack it.

  At that moment, Zhao Qingxue had just returned home from work. She took off her shoes, fell on the couch, and moaned comfortably.

  “Finally, I can sleep well!”

  She stretched and rolled on the couch.

  Suddenly, her phone rang. She frowned and mumbled, “Don’t tell me there’s another case!”

  She saw the name on the phone screen and was pleasantly surprised. “You finally have the time to call me!” She answered cheerfully.

  “There’s a case…” Tang Hao said.

  “Huh?”

  Zhao Qingxue was stunned, and her expression sank. “Another case? Just when I thought I had the time to rest, you hand me another case!”

  Tang Hao did not say anything.

  “Forget it, tell me about the case.” Zhao Qingxue sat up and said seriously.

  “It’s a major case…”

  Tang Hao told her everything.

  Zhao Qingxue’s jaw dropped. She was completely dumbfounded.

  A mountain of drugs and firearms?

  Transported into Huaxia using supernatural methods?

  Such a thing was unheard of!

  Then, her expression turned grim. “Wait there. I’m coming!”

  She put on her shoes and left in a hurry. Twenty minutes later, she arrived at the dump.

  She was stunned when she saw the mountain of drugs and firearms.

  “Oh my god, all these drugs! Someone is going to face the firing squad. And these firearms, they’re all brand-new… this is really a major case!”

  “I’ll leave this guy to you. As for the other guy, he’s a Nanyang shaman and not a mundane person. Someone from the military will be coming over to help later,” Tang Hao said.
