Chapter 127 – Powerful Influence (2/2)

Lei Yu then drove away. The distance to New York was still quite a ways so he was driving pretty fast. Halfway there, he received Bianca’s call and found out some news about Hu Jiong. Hu Jiong was fine which made Lei Yu sigh in relief as his heart was somewhat eased.

Lei Yu was actually very curious about how Bianca could know so much, but it was obviously clear that she was helping him so he shouldn’t think too much.

———————————

Within Tenglong country, a middle-aged man with a thin face, phoenix like eyes, and a hook nose was holding a cell phone and pacing back and forth inside a house. His thick eyebrows furrowed together as he had been waiting for news from the U.S. side. But after a full day and night, no news came which made him extremely anxious.

“Commander Xiao, the investigative team that went to the U.S. says they couldn’t find the person called Lei Yu.”

“Humph!” With one hand like a claw, he completely crushed the cell phone into pieces and letting it scatter onto the ground. “Is the Eagle Commander’s son so easily bullied by some bastard offspring? He is not putting me in his eyes!”

“Please calm yourself sir, I will go check out the situation again. If there’s any news, I will immediately contact you.” This person hurriedly left not daring to stay for too long.

————————————

After arriving at the U.S., Lei Yu had changed his phone and only gave his number to the people he wanted to have it. It was no wonder the investigative team was having a hard time finding him. But since Lei Yu already had a plan, he would naturally have his own way of doing things. Getting the contact information of the investigative team from Ai Er, Lei Yu initiated the call to them and gave the group a meeting time and location.

The investigative team was made up of four people, each with their own roles. One was responsible for interrogation, two were responsible for recording statements, and one was in charge of investigating. “Lei Yu, why did you seriously hurt Xiao Fei to the point of crippling him?”

“He attacked me first, and it was him that killed an American.” Lei Yu said in a reasonable manner.

“According to our understanding, the person that killed the American was you and not Xiao Fei. And when Xiao Fei was trying to stop you, he suffered from your attack, is that right?” The interrogator coldly asked.

Lei Yu first smiled in disdain before standing up. The interrogator shouted: “What are you trying to do?”

“Haven’t you guys already fabricated the whole story? Is there any need for my statement?”

“Watch your attitude!” The interrogator pounded the table and stood up.

Lei Yu angrily grabbed his chair and smashed it against the wall causing the four chair legs suddenly split from the frame. His eyes full of anger, “watch my attitude? What’s with YOUR attitude?! What right do you have to interrogate me? Is this the right the Eagle Group gave you? Before I give in my official papers, I am still the Deputy Commander of Dragon Group. Is it that you don’t know the orders issued by the Chairman himself? I, Lei Yu am not someone you can command, and you don’t have the ability to command me either. If you really want to investigate the truth of the matter, then stop fabricating shit up! Otherwise I, Lei Yu, will not let you guys off easily!”

The several people were suddenly startled. Them coming to the U.S. were arranged by Eagle Group. And it was after Eagle Group applying for the paperwork to Martial Sect before they agreed to allow them here. But it seems this group of people had completely forgotten Lei Yu’s identity. After Lei Yu said his words, cold sweat suddenly appeared on the members of this group.

Seeing this group of people with stunned looks, Lei Yu scoffed. Acting all high and mighty after they were given a little bit of power? They were less than a dog fart! Lei Yu coldly “humphed” before walking away. The investigative group did not even dare fart at this point.

What were these fellows considered? Lei Yu was a person that Chairman Lin ordered that he was under the command of no one. And he was still the Deputy Commander of Dragon Group, which was still slightly more prestigious than Eagle Group.

In fact, everyone was already clear that the American that died was a mutant. They wanted to use this point as a point to hold him responsible. But what they screwed up on was that Lei Yu simply didn’t care, and they didn’t have the qualifications to demand anything of him.

Originally, Martial Sect agreed to let Eagle Group send out an investigative team was only a show to placate the commander. Lei Yu’s current position in Martial Sect could be said to be near the same level as the Shangguan family, so would Shangguan Xi Hong help Eagle Group in turn offending Lei Yu? This seems a bit unrealistic. Shangguan Xi Hong himself wanted to have Lei Yu firmly within his hands since he will be of great assistance in his future plans. After all, Lei Yu was a rare talent that could be referred to as a genius.

Coincidentally around this time, that day at the nightclub was all recorded by surveillance cameras and the recording was handed over to the responsible government departments of New York City. Everything was very clear; Lei Yu did not attempt to kill the bald guy and was only trying to capture him. Even though the video wasn’t too clear, you can still see the disgusting face of Xiao Fei behind Lei Yu when he quietly made a sneak attack. The truth had been revealed and the video recording made its way to Tenglong country but not to the public.

“Nonsense!” Shangguan Xi Hong shouted angrily with his hands clasped behind his back. “Chairman Lin is extremely pissed off! Commander Xiao, if you want to keep firmly sitting in your position, then you better properly discipline your son!”

Holding back his anger, he had brought his son back from the U.S and found the best doctors in the country for treatment. But even after treating him, there will still be lingering issues. Wanting to maintain his outstanding performance in Eagle Group? It looks like Xiao Fei will no longer have that opportunity. As the commander of Eagle Group, he will naturally harbor this hatred and will one day seek out his vengeance.

These few days in the U.S., it was actually peaceful and quiet for Lei Yu. No one came after him, not even mutants. This was definitely very strange for Lei Yu.

Little did he know, Mr. Hawes had secretly done some things so that Lei Yu would temporarily not be in any danger.

Lei Yu wasn’t in any in danger but he was extremely worried about Hu Jiong. Two days ago, Hu Xin Er came to the U.S. and Lei Yu came up with some excuses to not see her. But this wasn’t a solution so what should he do?

But coincidentally at this time, Hu Jiong gave Lei Yu a call and said that had been released. Lei Yu was overjoyed but couldn’t figure why this was the case. Asking Hu Jiong was of no use since he was clueless himself. As for Bianca, she shook her head and said she didn’t know either; she only knew that a very powerful influence requested Dr. Tony to do this. As for whom it was, she had no clue.
