Chapter 141: The Capital! A Hundred Years Ago, Yang the Invincible! A Hundred Years Later, Wang the Undefeated! (One)
“Are you the Wang Chao that fought and killed Duan Guochao without an order?”
Du Heng stared at the uniformed 1.79~1.8 meter tall male youth in front of him with a strict expression. As if he was playing poker, a grim cold aura could be felt wafting from his body. Du Heng was the leader of the investigation group in charge of overseeing the battle between Wang Chao and Duan Guochao. This time, central had sent out five men, Du Heng was the leader.
When it came to the number one expert of the Ministry of State Security, Duan Guochao, Du Heng was very familiar with him. Duan Guochao was a disciple born and raised in the Shaolin Temple. Not only did he have an outstanding mission record, but he was even well known in the Beijing police department, army, bodyguards, Wushu, and fighting rings to be extremely terrifying. He had fought with many experts to compare notes, but never did he ever lose.
Even when the head of states from the other nations came to visit, Duan Guochao would not lose in a friendly competition with their bodyguards.
The moniker of “National Arhat” was fashioned after winning countless of battles.
“This Wang Chao is the Military Commission’s specially raised expert, but why is it I can’t sense even a single bit of the air of an expert? He seems rather calm.”
Although the Wang Chao in front of him didn’t look like an expert, Du Heng couldn’t detect even the most minute of changes in Wang Chao’s face. Because of the lack of facial change, he felt that there was something strange about Wang Chao.
Du Heng held a high status in the army as a major general. Commandeering power with each movement and every word, he carried the presence of a top seat position and held an equally large political might. When he came cracking down on corruption, then even the major officials within a province wouldn’t be able to rest easily and would quake in fear.
And his iron fist methods had led to him bearing the nickname of “Iron-blooded General” when in private.
“You’ve violated the principles of the organization. You will put down your work and your membership for now. In Beijing, you will assist in the investigations. What have you to say about that?”
“I will do as the organization wishes for me to.” Wang Chao spoke those ten words without another extra word.
“Good! Off we go then.” Du Heng remained emotionless without any twitches to be seen on his face.
So went the greeting words between Wang Chao and Du Heng of the central investigation team.
After that, Wang Chao had two plainclothesmen with doughty physiques press their hands against their waists without a word. At a single glance, anyone could tell that these were special sharpshooters of the army.
That night, Wang Chao, Lin Yanan, Dong Ling, and the rescued Chen Ke boarded a military airplane and flew off towards Beijing after taking off from a military airport.
Chen Ke had been sent flying by Wang Chao’s “Body Blocking Blow” and had a weak pulse as a result. So on the airplane, she had gone into shock several times before being brought back, but it was still quite dangerous. Wang Chao’s usage of Taichi had made use of the strong power of vibrations to affect the internal organs. In that moment, the organs would be affected by the vibrations and would be dealt a fatal blow.
But because of the fact that Wang Chao had only just finished his fight with Duan Guocao, the power had been lower. Furthermore, he had also deliberately lessened the strength so that it wouldn’t kill anyone. With that, Chen Ke could be brought back to health without a problem, but for now, she would be weak.
Chen Ke had obviously detested Wang Chao to her very bones and wanted nothing more than to shoot him dead on the spot. But because she too was being investigated by the central government, she didn’t dare act impudent in any manner or word.
Despite her background and power, she didn’t dare act as she pleased in front of the investigation team from the central government. That was because to resist was the same as committing treason!
After reaching the military airport in Beijing, several black cars came driving on over. From the cars came several soldiers locked and loaded for combat. Splitting apart Wang Chao’s group, the soldiers had the group sit in different cars before driving off into several different directions.
“This car has to be a transport vehicle. From the back, one can’t even see the outside view.” Wang Chao thought as he entered the car. The entire car seemed as if it was built from reinforced steel. With the doors closed, the entire vehicle had been plunged into darkness, but with the light within the car, the interior could be seen clearly.
There was a total of six fully armed soldiers in the car. At a single glance, Wang Chao knew that these six soldiers were all equal to Boulder in strength. All of them were baptized by warfare and could be considered to be the cream of the crop of soldiers.
But these six soldiers would sometimes send an inquiring glance over at Wang Chao as if to size him up. This time, their mission was to just escort Wang Chao to the predetermined location.
They had more or less heard about Wang Chao’s situation. Anyone would be curious to see the one who had killed the number one expert in the Ministry of State Security with just their bare hands,
Duan Guochao’s name was well known throughout the fighting circles of the army and the police department. When there was nothing to be done, the special soldiers had loved to exchange notes with him. Naturally, they learned plenty about him as a result.
The car continued along the road for about an hour before suddenly coming to a slow. Turning around a corner, it then came to a full stop.
“We’ve arrived. Lieutenant colonel Wang, please alight from the car.” Although they looked serious from their escort mission, these soldiers had spoken in a soft but polite tone.
When Wang Chao stepped out of the car, the first thing he had seen was an ordinary courtyard. It was an ordinary courtyard house seen typically in Beijing, but it was rather secluded.
“We hope that while the investigation is being conducted, you will not leave this courtyard. If you wish to leave, then you must fill out an application. There will be three meals a day that will be brought to you in person.”
After one of the soldiers finished speaking, they waved their hands in salute before splitting into two lines from left and right right in front of the door to the courtyard.
“A designated time and a designated place for an investigation without my input.” Wang Chao thought to how the investigation was being conducted before a sudden realization of what this was struck him, “Isn’t this Shuanggui?”
He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
To think that he was undergoing the Shuanggui treatment.
Although he had known that the investigation would be done through the Shuanggui process, commissar Yang had reassured him. But after the situation on the road, Wang Chao couldn’t help but feel something unfathomable in him.
This sensation was similar to what the ancient officials used to say, “Accompanying a sovereign is like accompanying a tiger.”
