Chapter 57: 57

After resting in the room for a while, the four of them gathered to go out. They had lunch in a restaurant followed by a tea break while discussing their itinerary.

Holding his mobile phone, Luhao carefully checked Lincheng’s tourism information and said, “Ge, there are so many interesting places in Licheng, three days seems to be a bit tight, why don’t we stay a few more days.”

Ling Hua’an bluntly refused, “no, Captain Jiang is very busy and only has three days off.”

Hearing Ling Hua’an’s answer made Jiang Chengyan feel happy, whether Lu Hao was his younger brother or not, Jiang Chengyan would subconsciously compare their value in Ling Hua’an’s heart. He knew that he shouldn’t be like that, but he still couldn’t help but think about it.

“Oh, okay then.” Although Lu Hao was a little disappointed, he didn’t dwell on it too much. He still seriously planning the trip with two and a half days left, “let’s go to the ancient city of Licheng in the afternoon. It’s said that there are the best preserved ancient buildings there, which are of great historical research value. The night view there is also good, and there are performances in the evening too.”

Ling Hua’an nodded and said, “Okay. You can decide the itinerary, we will  follow.”

“Guarantee to complete the task!” Lu Hao excitedly clenched his fist and said, “Then let’s go, our schedule is tight.”

Ling Hua’an smiled. He was really not interested in traveling. After all, he couldn’t see the beautiful scenery, but since it could bring happiness to the people around him, he felt happy about it.

There is a car rental service in the hotel. To make it easier, the four rented a car and drove all the way towards the ancient city of Licheng using navigation. After driving around for about an hour, the car stopped when Ling Hua’an was half asleep and half awake leaning on Jiang Chengyan in a daze.

Ling Hua’an sat up straight and asked, “are we there yet?”

Jiang Chengyan gently moved his stiff body and said, “no, someone stopped the car. Yan Yu and Lu Hao came out to check the situation.”

“Stopped the car?” Ling Hua’an frowned slightly, he fumbled to open the door and got out of the car.

Jiang Chengyan immediately rushed toward Ling Hua’an, “you didn’t take the cane. This is a mountain road and there is no cover or stop. Don’t walk around.”

“Mountain road? Weren’t we just at the beach? How did we get to the mountain now?”

“The navigation wasn’t reliable, it led us to the mountains. Fortunately, there are scenic spots nearby. So we decided to walk around here this afternoon and go to the ancient city tomorrow.”

Ling Hua’an was a little speechless about how unreliable this navigation is to guide people from the sea to the mountains. He listened to the direction of the voice and said, “Captain Jiang, take me to see what happened.”

Jiang Chengyan held Ling Hua’an’s wrist and led him to Yan Yu and Lu Hao.

“I know it’s difficult,  but we really have nothing to do. So, please help.”

Ling Hua’an walked in, he frowned and asked, “what’s the matter?”

Lu Hao hurriedly explained, “their car broke down and wanted us to tow their car to the nearest village for repairs.”

“The nearest village? Why don’t you call for help? On such a mountain road, there will be a sign indicating the emergency call at intervals.”

Lu Hao nodded and said, “Yes, I saw it on the way. The phone number seems to be ****3421.”

“Seems? If you remember it wrong after you left, what should we do?” A man’s voice sounded, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Ling Hua’an looked at Yan Yu and said, “Yan Yu, you call the help for them.”

Yan Yu responded then took out his cell phone and dialed the rescue number, and said with a frown, “Hua’an, there is no signal here, the phone can’t be reached.”

“No signal? How could it be possible? I was still swiping the video in the car just now.”

Lu Hao took out his mobile phone and looked strangely at it, “there’s really no signal.”

“If we had a signal, we would have called for rescue long ago, so we don’t have to wait here for two hours. We are all here to travel, so you can help and tow our car to the village at the foot of the mountain. We won’t let you help us for nothing, we will give you money.” The man who spoke was still the same male voice just now. Although he had deliberately concealed it, Ling Hua’an could still hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.

“We don’t short on money…”

Ling Hua’an stopped Lu Hao who was talking and said calmly, “there is no signal here, so go to the place where there is a signal. Our schedule is very tight, and we don’t want to waste time. Let’s go.”

“Hey, how could you just leave like this?”

The sound of messy footsteps sounded, even if Ling Hua’an couldn’t see it, he knew that those people were surrounding him. Jiang Chengyan pulled Ling Hua’an behind him, Yan Yu protected Lu Hao, and the two watched the people around them in alert.

“You are dressed so nicely, why don’t you have any sympathy at all? You have to help even though you’re busy today.” The man removed his disguise and revealed his fierce face.

 “You guys are breaking the law by doing this, you know?” Jiang Chengyan looked at the five people who had gathered around him.

The men looked at Jiang Chengyan fiercely and said, “Break the law? On this mountain, I am the fucking law!”

Jiang Chengyan pulled out his ID from his pocket and said, “I’m a Police of the Criminal Investigation Team. You’d better not mess around. Otherwise, if you commit a crime, you will have to go in and eat in jail!”

“Police? ”There was fear in the man’s tone.

“Dage, he is police from Huacheng not from here.”
This man’s voice sounded rougher and carried a bit of cruelty.

“Dage, our brothers all rely on this way to eat. If they call the police, our jobs will be ruined. Why don’t we do it?” There was another different voice that sounded.

“Dage, Lao Er1 is right. If we let them go today, not only will we lose the way to eat, but we might even have to go to prison for two years. I don’t want to eat in prison.”

“Yeah. Dage look at the car they drive, it costs hundreds of thousands, and they are dressed like rich masters. Let’s just do it today. The ticket is big, so we can eat for several years without working.”

The eldest brother they mentioned only struggled for a moment, and then his eyes showed a fierce light. Looking at Jiang Chengyan, he grinned and said, “Kid, remember not to be a cop again in your next life, you’re too hated! Brothers, let’s do something big today.”

Seeing the five people take out their weapons, Jiang Chengyan tightly grabbed Ling Hua’an’s wrist and whispered, “Hua’an, stay where you are. Leave it to me.”

Ling Hua’an patted Jiang Chengyan smoothly, he break his wrist free to pull Lu Hao back, and said with a smile, “don’t be distracted, it’s just a few hooligans, I believe you and Yan Yu can handle it.”

Jiang Chengyan and Yan Yu looked at each other. He smiled and said, “that’s right, it’s just five hooligans. Hua’an, wait a moment, we’ll finish it soon.”

“Yo, brothers, these little white faces look down on us. Come on, let them see how good our brothers are!”

Bang Bang bang

“Opps,”

Clattering and other sounds came one after another. Listening to it, Ling Hua’an imagined the battle scene in his mind.

Lu Hao nervously grabbed Ling Hua’an’s arm and said worriedly, “Ge, Can Yan Yu-ge and Captain Jiang beat them?”

Ling Hua’an asked instead of answering, “Lu Hao, how is the weather now?

Lu Hao was stunned, subconsciously looked at the sky and replied, “It’s cloudy. Ge, why are you asking this?”

“Nothing. Don’t be nervous, with the skills of Captain Jiang and Yan Yu these people are not their match.”

Ling Hua’an quietly took out two paper talismans from his pocket, placed them behind him, and recited the incantation silently. The paper talisman spontaneously ignited in the air before falling to the ground. After that, a few more ghosts appear in front of Ling Hua’an. “Mr. Ling, it’s been a long time, do you need our help?”

Ling Hua’an looked in the direction of the fight and whispered, “please wait and see what happens. Don’t let them hurt my friends, the price will be the same afterward.”

“With pleasure!” The faces of the ghosts were full of smiles. Although there were many people on the other side, Jiang Chengyan and Yan Yu were not vegetarians2 either. It didn’t take long for them to beat them all down.

Lu Hao said excitedly, “Ge, Yan Yu-ge, and Captain Jiang beat them all down. They are so cool!”

Ling Hua’an rubbed his head, smiled, and said, “you can also learn boxing in the future. At least you can save yourself at the critical moment.”

Lu Hao nodded hurriedly and said, “I will register for the class when I go back, and I will protect my brother too!”

Ling Hua’an mouth slightly hooked then looked to Jiang Chengyan, “Captain Jiang, look if there are any tools in their car that block signals. Also, find out if there is a rope to tie them up.”

Jiang Chengyan responded and walked towards their car with Yan Yu. Sure enough, he found a tool that blocked the mobile phone signal in the car. He then turned it off and dialed 110.
Yan Yu found a rope from their trunk, not only a rope but even a sack. There was also dried blood on one of the axes. It can be seen that this group of people is definitely recidivist, maybe there is a murder in their hands.

After Jiang Chengyan made the call, he tied them up with Yan Yu and stood by the roadside waiting for the police to arrive.

In the car, Lu Hao rummages around looking for something. Soon, his excited tone sounded, “Ge, this car has a dash cam. Everything that happened can be recorded. Hehe, with this, this group of people won’t be able to run away.”

Ling Hua’an smiled and bowed his hands to the ghost outside the car window. After they returned the salute, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

About 20 minutes later, a police car drove up from the bottom of the mountain. Ling Hua’an looked through the car window and couldn’t help frowning. He quickly took out a paper talisman from his pocket and chanted the incantation silently. The ghost who had just left turned around and came to the car window. He asked inexplicably, “Mr. Ling, what’s so urgent?”

“There are resentful ghosts in the police car. I’m afraid the police officers in that car are not good people. Please control them so as not to hurt my friends.”

The two ghosts looked in the direction of the police car, and sure enough, they saw the resentful ghost in the police car. It was a man wearing a police uniform, lying close to the roof of the car. Because his back was facing them, so they couldn’t see his appearance clearly. The two ghosts looked at each other and disappeared in place.

Seeing the police car driving over, Jiang Chengyan waved his hand and motioned for the car to drive toward him.

The police car stopped and two uniformed police officers got down from it and walked towards the direction where Jiang Chengyan was, looked at the five people tied up on the ground, and asked, “what’s going on?”

“Here’s the thing…” Jiang Chengyan explained in detail what happened just now.

The two policemen looked at each other and nodded, “I see, these people are really vicious. Okay, hand them over to us. You can continue what you need to do.”

“This comrade, they want to kill people to make money. This is a serious criminal offense. Won’t you take a statement from us?” Jiang Chengyan frowned tightly.
