Chapter 339 No one can pull strings to save anyone
```
Kicked open the door.
A group of people immediately rushed in, only to see Xu Yang standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, hands clasped behind his back, seemingly admiring Fengcheng's scenery.
Strangely, upon hearing the loud commotion, Xu Yang turned around, faced so many people wielding either cleavers or steel pipes, and showed not the slightest bit of chaos. Instead, he smiled slightly, "Welcome to your arrival."
Welcome!
Baldy and the others were a bit confused.
Had the guy gone mad?
Even with a less-than-competent brain, the intrusion of so many people should have signaled bad intentions.
At the hot pot restaurant in front of the TV, Zheng Kaiyang and his two companions were also somewhat bewildered.
"What does this guy mean?"
"No matter what he means, he's done for."
"Right, no one can save him!"
…
"Forget it, let's do the bastard in!"
Although the bald thug and the crew-cut thug were somewhat puzzled by Xu Yang's words, they hadn't forgotten their purpose for being there.
Together, they raised their cleavers and charged towards Xu Yang.
"Done! Come on, Brother Wang, Brother Yang, cheers!"
Liang Wujun, in front of the TV, saw his men rushing toward Xu Yang and knew the situation was under control. He immediately raised his glass for a toast.
"Here's to it, cheers!"
Zheng Kaiyang and Wang Tongshan started to laugh and raised their glasses in return.
But before they could bring the drinks to their lips, the TV screen changed.
From either side, one after another person clad in black rushed out and engaged Baldy and his men.
"Fuck! Why are there so many of them!"
"These guys must have been hiding in the bedrooms and bathrooms!"
"Damn it, where did this guy get so many people from!"
"Ah! I can't do this!"
"Fuck, these people are so fierce, ah!"
…
The scene became chaotic, but it was clear to see that it was a one-sided affair; the black-clothed figures floored Baldy and his crew with ease.
Even the two bald and crew-cut thugs that Liang Wujun had touted for their bare-knuckle fighting backgrounds were no exception.
"Don't come any closer, what you're doing is illegal, I'm live streaming, this can be used as evidence!"
The person holding the smartphone and live streaming was trembling as they spoke.
The screen was shaking, showcasing how nervous the person was, and undoubtedly, their hands were shaking.
"Illegal?" the leader of the men in black laughed outright before throwing a punch at the thug.
The thug screamed in pain and fell to the ground, the phone dropping beside him.
The man in black picked up the phone and handed it to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang smiled faintly at the phone screen, "You're Liang Wujun, right? Let me tell you, you're done for!"
After saying that, he hung up the video call.
In the hot pot restaurant.
The glasses of Zheng Kaiyang and his group were still held mid-air.
Liang Wujun felt extremely embarrassed.
He had just been boasting about how formidable his men were, and it was he who had initiated the celebratory toast.
In the blink of an eye, he was humiliated.
He wished he could find a hole to crawl into!
Now, there was no chance of enjoying the drink, no mood left for toasting.
"Where the hell did Xu Yang find so many people? It's as if he knew my men would come, it's like seeing a ghost!"
As Liang Wujun spoke, he set down his glass subtly.
```
"It seems this kid came to Fengcheng well-prepared!"
"We underestimated him a bit, it seems he is not that easy to deal with!"
Zheng Kaiyang and Wang Tongshan also put down their drinks.
No choice, they were no longer in the mood to drink.
Just then, a commotion came from outside the door.
"What's happening?" Liang Wujun frowned, sensing a bad omen in his heart.
The next second, a group of people burst in.
"Armed police, nobody move!"
"Put your hands on your head and squat down, or we will shoot!"
Twenty-something fully armed policemen, holding automatic rifles, pointed at Zheng Kaiyang and the two others.
The three of them were stunned on the spot.
Why were there armed police? What was going on?
Stay connected via empire
All three had faces full of question marks.
At times like this, no one would answer them.
Facing the dark muzzles, they could only hold their heads and crouch on the ground.
Otherwise, if the armed police started shooting, it would not be fun at all.
The armed police immediately approached and subdued the men.
"Why are you arresting us?!" Liang Wujun couldn't help but ask.
"Why arrest you? Don't you have a clear idea of what you have just done?" The lead armed policeman sneered.
At that point, Liang Wujun and the others understood.
But they couldn't figure out why the special police were involved.
You see, the special police usually don't deal with these matters; they are only used against the most wicked and cruel criminals.
The things they had done were generally managed by the police.
On the police side, they had connections, and they wouldn't normally be touched.
Otherwise, Fengcheng's police would have directly gone to Zheng Kaiyang's house to arrest Li Changsheng and his son.
Whether they understood it or not, the fact was right in front of them, and now was not the time to clarify this problem.
Liang Wujun looked at Zheng Kaiyang and Wang Tongshan and immediately said, "It was me, I ordered people to attack Xu Yang, these two are my friends, they just came here to look for me for something and have a meal of hot pot with me, they have nothing to do with this matter at all!"
Hearing this, Zheng Kaiyang and Wang Tongshan immediately understood that Liang Wujun was willing to take the fall for everything so they could bail him out later.
Naturally, they had no objections.
They were not foolish enough to compete for taking the blame.
"That's right, we just came to eat hot pot, you can't arrest us!"
"We are well-known entrepreneurs in Fengcheng, who gave you the power to arrest people so arbitrarily!"
Zheng Kaiyang and Wang Tongshan spoke out in rapid succession, as if they were really innocent.
The lead armed policeman chuckled, "Acting pretty good, but we actually didn't plan on arresting you this time. We came only for Liang Wujun. However, if you think you can bail him out, I'm afraid that will be impossible because this is a provincial action. Liang Wujun will be escorted to the provincial capital for trial."
"Provincial action?" The three men were all bewildered.
"You might not know yet, but recently the provincial office has formed a special operation group to combat organized crime and prevent local 'protective umbrellas' from tipping off, so they specifically manage major organized crime cases in various cities.
Once the evidence is conclusive, all personnel are arranged by the provincial office, and local forces cannot intervene; the trial afterward will also be conducted by the provincial court, with no one able to pull strings and bail anyone out!"
Having said that, the lead armed policeman signaled his team to release Zheng Kaiyang and Wang Tongshan and took Liang Wujun away.
As they left, Liang Wujun's complexion turned pale.
If the police of Fengcheng had arrested him, he would be out soon. Even if Fengcheng's armed police caught him, Zheng Kaiyang and Wang Tongshan could pull some strings to get him out without too much trouble.
After all, as long as it was in Fengcheng, there was a way for them to manipulate the situation.
But being escorted to the provincial capital was the end of it.
The reach of Wang Tongshan and the others didn't extend that far.
Bailing him out would be nearly impossible.
And on top of that, there was the mention of the special operation group.
Without saying, it was clear that such a group was not one you could influence with connections.
