Zhao Qingxue took out her phone and called the provincial headquarters.
The provincial headquarters was in an uproar!
The superintendent, the head of the narcotics squad, and all the other important figures were alarmed.
“This is a major case with supernatural influences!”
“Eh? Comrade Zhao again? She was the one who caught the thief the last time, right? I heard that the process was quite interesting.”
“Ol’ Zhao’s daughter is quite capable!”
“Not bad! Not bad at all!”
The police cars set out of the provincial headquarters. Sirens rang out as the cars drove toward the suburbs.
This motorcade shocked the people on the road.
With so many police cars, it must be a major case!
The people from the Agency arrived before the police. They had stationed several people in Provincial City.
“Damn! These Nanyangese are pretty smart for coming up with that!”
The two people from the Agency were shocked.
Then, they angrily grabbed Grandmaster Khunka and beat him up.
“Dammit, how dare you cause trouble here!”
“You have a death wish, Nanyang whelps!”
They cursed while beating him up.
“Take this ring as evidence. Give it back to me when you’re done!” Tang Hao handed the ring to them.
The ring contained a pocket dimension and was extremely precious. Tang Hao would not want to let it fall into another party’s hands. He would give the ring to Qin Xiangyi.
“Don’t worry! We’ll send it over when we’re done!”
The two agents bowed respectfully and took the ring.
They continued to beat up the grandmaster until they were satisfied. Then, they restrained him.
After a while, the sound of police sirens could be heard from afar. One after another, police cars came to the front of the dump and stopped there.
The car doors opened, and a lot of police officers came out. There were also many fully armed special forces police officers.
The squad leaders led the way in.
“This is outrageous!”
They were furious when they saw the mountain of drugs and firearms.
“How much harm would all these drugs bring?” One of the veteran leaders said bitterly.
“It’s not the first time they’ve done this. I’ve been wondering why drugs are suddenly more readily available in the province and the surrounding provinces over the past few years. We could never find the root of the problem.”
Then, they walked towards Zhao Qingxue.
“Thank you for your hard work, Lil Zhao!”
A warm smile appeared on their faces as they reached out and shook hands with Zhao Qingxue.
Zhao Qingxue smiled awkwardly and said, “I didn’t do anything! It’s all him!”
As she said that, she pointed at Tang Hao.
“Oh, that must be Comrade Tang Hao! I’ve long heard of your name!”
One of the leaders stepped forward and warmly shook hands with Tang Hao.
Tang Hao’s name was well-known among the top brass of the provincial headquarters.
Earlier, the military had blockaded the provincial headquarters because of him, and he even caused the superintendent to fall from grace. Tang Hao’s name appeared in many cases.
“Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Tang Hao!”
The other leaders came up and shook hands with Tang Hao.
“Don’t mention it. It’s thanks to Comrade Zhao…” Tang Hao said with a smile.
Zhao Qingxue was stunned and was about to speak.
Without waiting for her to speak, the police captain said, “Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Zhao! I thank you on behalf of the organization! Don’t worry, there will definitely be commendations. You’ll lead the investigations for this case!”
Zhao Qingxue was stunned.
She had not done anything!
Furthermore, she was going to lead the special task force on this case?
She was getting a little fearful.
Chapter 712 - Semester Break
“You’ve done a great service, Comrade Zhao!”
The leaders laughed, though they looked at each other and knew what was going on.
It was obvious that Comrade Tang Hao wanted to give the credit to the police force and Comrade Zhao for cracking the case!
“Well…”
Zhao Qingxue was still in a daze.
“Don’t refuse the job, Comrade Zhao! Do your best, understand? This is a major case, and you’ll have to investigate the entire criminal network and their accomplices thoroughly.”
“Comrade Zhao, I also think highly of you!”
The sly old men laughed.
Zhao Qingxue seemed to have understood what they were talking about, and she did not refuse anymore.
Then, she became excited.
She would be the leader of the special task force! It was unprecedented that a twenty-four-year-old became a task force leader.
“Bring him back and interrogate him overnight. Hurry up and solve this case!” The police captain shouted.
Immediately, two policemen came up, handcuffed the plump man, and took him to the car.
“Thank you!”
Zhao Qingxue walked up to Tang Hao and said gratefully.
“You don’t have to thank me!” Tang Hao smiled and said, “I’ll go with you! I’m afraid that guy won’t fess up.”
“OK!”
Zhao Qingxue turned around and walked away together with Tang Hao.
With Tang Hao sitting in the interrogation room, the two people spilled everything they knew. The police also got a general understanding of the situation.
However, they did not act immediately.
The two people they arrested were only subordinates. The police could not act until they figured out the extent of the criminal network.
Before they knew it, the sun rose.
In an office, Tang Hao leaned against the couch. Zhao Qingxue was curled up beside him, covered with a jacket and sleeping soundly.
After the interrogation, she only fell asleep at about four o’clock.
The surroundings were quiet. At about seven o’clock, the provincial headquarters became livelier. A series of footsteps woke her up.
She slowly opened her eyes, pushed herself up, and looked at Tang Hao with groggy eyes.
“What time is it?”
She yawned, still feeling sleepy.
“It’s seven-fifteen!” Tang Hao looked at his watch.
“Oh,” she replied. Then, she sat on Tang Hao’s lap and buried her head in his neck.
“I’m so tired! I’ve been working overtime for the past few days, and I have to stay up last night again,” she muttered.
Then, she hugged him tighter and said coyly, “Don’t move! Let me hug you!”
As she said that, she closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep again.
After a long time, she opened her eyes and looked up at Tang Hao. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and smiled.
“What are you laughing at?” Tang Hao was stunned.
“You look so… silly!” She said with a smile.
Tang Hao immediately burst into laughter.
She smiled and wrapped her arms around Tang Hao’s neck. “I might be tired, but it’s worth it when I get to see you again!” She muttered.
As she said that, she narrowed her sparkling eyes and slowly leaned over.
Her red lips moved, exhaling a fragrant breath.
She sensed that Tang Hao was fidgeting, and she muttered, “Don’t move! Let me kiss you. That way, I’ll have the strength to investigate the case.”
She slowly kissed him. It started gentle, but it gradually increased in intensity.
They were almost out of breath when their lips parted. Her face was pink and charming like a plum blossom.
She saw that Tang Hao was stunned and kissed his cheek again.
“Thank you for your kiss. I feel energetic again!” She said with a smile.
With that, she stood up, tidied up her clothes, opened the door, and walked out.
“Oh, so you’re in here, Lil Zhao! Hurry up, the meeting is starting!”
Someone shouted in the corridor.
“I’m coming!”
Zhao Qingxue responded and walked over.
Tang Hao sat for a while before standing up.
He was not needed there anymore. The police and the Agency would take care of the rest.
On the way home, he received a call from Qin Xiangyi.
“Lil Tang! Do you know? My brother is getting married! He’s finally getting married!” She was excited.
Tang Hao pretended that he had just heard the news. Qin Gang told him that he did not want his family to know about the car accident so that they would not be worried.
“Wow! That’s great!”
“Yeah! He has always been a carefree person. I hope he’ll settle down after he’s married!” Qin Xiangyi said.
“Has the date been set?”
“He said that it should be the sooner the better. Tentatively, it’ll be in early July. They’ll decide on a specific date after discussing with their parents.”
“That’s fast!”
“Yeah! My parents were so happy when they heard about it!” Qin Xiangyi said happily.
After chatting for a while, she ended the call.
In the afternoon, he received a call from Trendy Taoist Master. He went to Haotian Pictures to watch the first trailer of the movie.
Production of the sequel had wrapped up a while ago.
The movie was done in the same style, but the action scenes were even more intense and spectacular. It caused a sensation as soon as it was uploaded online. The number of views and comments increased crazily.
It became a trending topic that afternoon.
“Mao Mountain Taoist Master” had created a box office miracle. Naturally, many people were eager to watch the sequel.
They were not disappointed by the trailer. Other than a few negative comments from trolls, the rest were full of praise.
“Without a doubt, this’ll be the champion of summer blockbusters!”
“Haotian Pictures is the hope of domestic films!”
The film critics were also full of flattery.
As news of the sequel spread in the next few days, the Internet was caught up in another wave of Mao Mountain fever.
Meanwhile, good news came from the provincial headquarters. They received enough information to act after intense investigation. By coordinating with the police headquarters of other provinces, they launched a simultaneous operation and caught all the criminals at once.
The amount of seized drugs and firearms were countless.
After the news broke out, it occupied the headlines of the major media outlets and caused a sensation.
During that period, Tang Hao stayed in school for his exams.
One morning, he finished his last paper.
He was the last one to hand in his answer sheet.
Jiang Wanying took the answer sheet and looked at it. “Not bad!” She smiled and said.
“Of course!” Tang Hao said.
Jiang Wanying tidied up the answer sheets and looked at him. “Another semester has passed. That’s so fast!” She lamented.
As she said that, her gaze turned dim. “I’ll return to River Delta City in a few days, and I won’t see you again! I won’t be teaching your class next semester either.”
“That’s no big deal. We’re in the same university anyway!” Tang Hao said.
“That’s true! Oh right, you promised to come to River Delta City!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely go!” Tang Hao said.
“That’s great!” Jiang Wanying held the stack of paper and smiled brightly. Seeing that there was no one outside, she suddenly leaned over, gave him a light kiss, and left.
Tang Hao wiped his face and walked out.
He planned to stay in Provincial City for a few more days. Yan’er had not finished her exams yet. When she did, Tang Hao would bring her back to Dragonrock Village.
When he reached the school gate, he saw Cao Fei and the others walking over from the dormitory with their suitcases.
“Bye, Brother Hao!” They shouted.
Tang Hao waved at them. He was about to catch the bus when his phone rang.
Chapter 713 - The Gathering
“Bad news!”
General Bai said grimly after the call was answered.
“The people from the Agency were attacked. They barely escaped with their lives. We had an intense fight at the border, and they injured many of our border guards.”
Tang Hao’s expression changed drastically.
Two days ago, the Agency sent people across the border into Nanyang to kill the shamans involved in smuggling.
Grandmaster Khunka was not the only shaman involved. Many other Nanyang shamans had entered Huaxia as accomplices to the smuggling ring.
The Agency sent five people. They thought that it would be enough, but they did not expect to meet with resistance.
How dare they attack the Huaxianese and hunt them down at the border? That was a brazen act!
Tang Hao’s eyes narrowed, and a shocking killing intent erupted.
“Who did it?”
He took a deep breath and said coldly.
“It’s Mulla’s men! Mulla is one of the most powerful figures in the Nanyang cultivation world. He has about three hundred men under his command. That’s about half of the Nanyang cultivation world.
“He’s the most powerful person in the Nanyang cultivation world. Khunka and those guys should all be his minions,” General Bai said.
“We’ve only just arrived there and haven’t done anything before they attacked us. Mulla himself must’ve been behind this.
“The people who came after us were all experts!”
Tang Hao’s expression became increasingly gloomy. “How dare they! Are they planning to start a war?”
“That should be it! Those Nanyang whelps are too much!” General Bai said angrily.
“Not only are they smuggling drugs and firearms to bring ruin to Huaxia, but they are also hunting down our people. This is simply intolerable! We have to fight them, Comrade Tang Hao. Otherwise, they’ll think that we’re pushovers!”
“If a fight is what they want, then we’ll bring it to them!” Tang Hao said.
His expression turned harsh and cold. “Let’s declare war on them!”
General Bai immediately became excited. “Good! That’s the way! Declare war and fight!”
“Gather everyone. I want the Nanyang shamans to disappear from this world!” Tang Hao’s tone was full of killing intent.
He never had a good impression of Nanyang shamans.
In the past, he would kill them if they were caught. However, ever since Operation Witch Hunter, Nanyang shamans had all but disappeared from Huaxia.
Who would have thought that they would run into each other again? That was the perfect opportunity to uproot the entire Nanyang cultivation world!
“We’re wiping out the entire Nanyang cultivation world?”
General Bai was slightly shocked. Then, he became even more excited.
“Notify the cultivation families and Dragon Tiger Mountain. Anyone who doesn’t show up will be banished from Huaxia!” Tang Hao said coldly.
“Don’t worry! I’ll personally deal with those that don’t show up. The previous battle marked the rise of Huaxia. This time, it’s the battle for Huaxia’s honor!” General Bai said as he thumped his chest.
After hanging up, Tang Hao called Taoist Master Qian Ji.
“What? Those Nanyang whelps have gone overboard! Good! Let’s fight them! Destroy them!” Taoist Master Qian Ji jumped from his seat.
Then, starting from the peak, the entire Mao Mountain was in an uproar.
“We’re going to war!”
>
Excited cries could be heard everywhere.
“F*ck! What war?” A Taoist master came out of the toilet, clutching his behind as he limped. When he saw the situation outside, he could not help but be stunned.
It felt as though the entire world changed while he was in the toilet.
“A war with those Nanyang whelps! We’re wiping them out!” Someone shouted.
The Taoist master’s mouth opened but he was unable to say a word.
‘F*ck! Wiping out the entire Nanyang cultivation world?’
That was a life-and-death war between two cultivation worlds. Neither side was going to give up until the other was destroyed!
Such a grand event had not appeared for many years!
“This is too awesome!”
He was immediately caught up in the excitement!
He forgot the pain of his hemorrhoids. He followed the crowd and rushed toward the main hall.
“Kill the Nanyang whelps!”
“Kill the Nanyang whelps!”
They shouted in unison with excited expressions on their faces.
All the Taoist masters, young and old, gathered outside the main hall.
Taoist Master Qian Ji walked out accompanied by a group of white-haired Taoist masters.
“Those Nanyang whelps once bullied Huaxia and committed countless crimes in our country… Today, under Fellow Cultivator Tang’s call, we will declare war on them!
“Which of you is willing to follow me into battle? Destroy them and spread the glory of Huaxia!”
Taoist Master Qian Ji shouted patriotically.
“I’m willing!”
“I’m willing!”
The crowd was in an uproar.
“Alright!” Taoist Master Qian Ji swept his gaze across the crowd and nodded in satisfaction. “Then, all of you, follow me!”
The Taoist masters packed their luggage and left in a hurry.
They rushed to the airport, chartered a few airplanes, and flew to South Beach.
At that moment, Dragon Tiger Mountain also received the news.
However, the atmosphere was entirely different. The heavenly masters frowned in despair.
“Sigh! This’ll be tricky indeed!”
The heavenly masters were worried!
A battle between two cultivation worlds would be a bloody one. Huaxia might have a big advantage, but casualties were inevitable. What if any of them got hurt?
