Chapter 986 Death Threat
Chapter 986 Death Threat
"That's right, I'm talking about Qin Kangnan!"
Qin Zhong's hearing was extremely sharp. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "He is a descendant of a senior member of Bureau 749. Director Xiao Yibai was extremely displeased when he learned that he was imprisoned in Bayu, and specially sent me here to bring him back. If you do not cooperate, it will be regarded as a provocation against Bureau 749. I hope you can give the director some face."
At this point, Qin Zhong had basically concluded that the other party was unaware of his relationship with his uncle. Therefore, while he breathed a sigh of relief, he also began to take advantage of the situation to exert pressure and threaten the other party.
"Oh, this guy is involved with Bureau 749? I've never heard him mention it before?" Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.
Then, the crowd quickly parted, and a middle-aged man with slightly graying hair but a sharp look in his eyes strode out.
The middle-aged man stared intently at Qin Zhong, his gaze sharp, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Qin Kangnan is a serious criminal we are holding. How can we release him just because of a word from your 749 Bureau! What do you take us for? Your subordinates?"
"who are you?"
Facing the imposing middle-aged man, Qin Zhong's expression darkened, and he calmly asked, "Do you think I'm impersonating someone from Bureau 749 to deceive you?"
"Qin Zhong of Tiangang, we have your information. A self-made powerhouse, so young, truly extraordinary."
The middle-aged man curled his lip slightly and replied coldly, "However, this is Bayu City. Here, even if you're a fierce tiger, you'll have to lie down; even if you're a dragon, you'll have to coil up. You dare to kill people at will in our base and then demand that we hand them over? Do you really think we're easy to bully?"
"So long-winded... You've been talking for so long and still haven't given your name!" Qin Chong frowned impatiently, then flashed in front of the middle-aged man and grabbed him by the throat.
With a single arm thrust, Qin Zhong lifted the middle-aged man off the ground, his feet dangling in the air. His face was flushed, and he desperately tried to pry Qin Zhong's wrist with both hands, but he couldn't break free at all.
"I only want to save people, not kill them. If you keep arguing, I'll kill you and find someone else to take me to Qin Kangnan!" Qin Chong's eyes were cold, and his tone was filled with unquestionable authority.
The surrounding soldiers were stunned by this sudden turn of events, unsure whether to rush forward or what to do. For a moment, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
"You...are so brave!"
The middle-aged man, whose throat was being gripped by Qin Chong, roared with difficulty, "Do you know the consequences of doing this? Do you want to start a war between Bureau 749 and Bayu? Can you bear the consequences?"
He never expected Qin Zhong to be so direct, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement, showing no demeanor befitting a superior.
"What right do a bunch of self-righteous, self-imposed limitations have to threaten me?"
Qin Zhong tightened his grip slightly and said impatiently, "I'll give you five seconds to choose: hand over the person, or die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhong's right arm tightened, and a strong killing intent erupted from his body.
"you……"
Feeling the increasing pressure on his neck, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and ordered Colonel Lü Wei, who was not far away, "Lü Wei, go and bring Qin Kangnan out!"
The surging killing intent emanating from Qin Chong made him realize that the other party was not bluffing, but was truly willing to kill.
Faced with the threat of death, the middle-aged man had no choice but to back down temporarily in order to protect himself.
……
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's order, Lü Wei immediately responded without the slightest delay, and led several of his men to quickly head towards the interior of the settlement.
This middle-aged man is his direct superior; if something goes wrong, he will definitely be in trouble.
"Qin Zhong, my men have already gone to take people away. Release me first, let's talk this over!"
After Lü Wei left, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said, "Our relationship with Bureau 749 has always been good. We must not let misunderstandings affect our relationship. With a formidable enemy at hand, we must unite our forces; otherwise, we will only bring about our own destruction and be irresponsible to humanity!"
"hehe!"
Qin Chong smiled slightly and said disdainfully, "I've said it before, I'm only here to save people. As long as you obediently hand over Qin Kangnan, I'll release you immediately and leave. Of course, if you dare to play tricks, believe me... killing you will be a piece of cake."
"Okay, I hope you keep your promise!"
The middle-aged man, who had long held a high position, naturally knew how to advance and retreat. After listening to Qin Zhong's words, he nodded slightly and said no more, waiting for Lü Wei to bring his men.
Since it concerned his superior's life or death, Lü Wei's actions were naturally swift.
In less than ten minutes, Lü Wei drove up to Qin Zhong and took out a gaunt man who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old.
Upon seeing this person, a hint of joy flashed in Qin Zhong's eyes. This was none other than his own uncle, Qin Kangnan.
"Qin Kangnan, is that right? I am Qin Zhong from Tiangang. I am here on orders from Director Xiao Yibai of Bureau 749 to bring you back to the capital!"
Seeing that his uncle was much thinner than before, with disheveled hair and a slightly disheveled appearance, Qin Zhong was extremely excited, but he remained calm on the surface.
Before Qin Kangnan could speak, Qin Zhong said loudly, "Come here now, and I'll take you away!" As he spoke, he winked at his uncle, signaling him not to say anything more.
"Yes!"
Qin Kangnan was agitated at the moment. When Lü Wei led him away, he did not utter a word, assuming that these officials had finally decided to execute him, this useless person.
However, he never expected that after being brought here, he would meet his nephew Qin Zhong, whom he had not seen since the apocalypse. What shocked him even more was that his nephew had grabbed General Zhong Zheng by the throat with one hand and lifted him into the air.
All of this seemed like a dream, leaving Qin Kangnan in disbelief.
After all, Qin Kangnan had been in the business world for many years. Although he was shocked inside, he remained calm on the surface, quietly leaving Lü Wei and walking to Qin Zhong's side.
"Qin Zhong, Qin Kangnan has been brought here. Can you let me go now?"
After Qin Kangnan walked to Qin Zhong's side, General Zhong Zheng slowly spoke: "I hope we can let today's matter rest. I will not interfere with your reasons for taking this person away, but for the sake of our long-standing friendship, I have decided not to pursue the matter further. I hope you will also exercise restraint in your actions to avoid triggering a full-blown conflict between us, the consequences of which I believe no one wants to see."
As a general, Zhong Aiguo was a man of keen insight and foresight. He knew that under the current circumstances, there was probably no way to deal with Qin Zhong.
Since that was the case, he simply displayed the demeanor of a great general and, citing the deep friendship between Bureau 749 and Chongqing, let Qin Zhong and Qin Kangnan leave.
This move not only ensures his own safety but also prevents hostile forces within Chongqing from using it as an excuse to accuse him of damaging the dignity of the Chongqing government due to his personal safety.
As for this humiliation, he will endure it for now and seek revenge another day.
