158 A Young Man’s Problem (1/2)

Today was the eve of the new year. On a day of celebration and reunion, everyone in town was gathered at the homes of friends and family, except one man who was carrying a bag, running towards the outskirts of the city.

This man was Brother Hui, the one who had his arm broken by Wang Yu and was cheated of the jade pendant by Uncle Mori...

Brother Hui looked extremely dishevelled, it was obvious that he was afraid of something. After all he had received news that Uncle Mori had been kidnapped...

Brother Hui had immediately visited Uncle Mori's store after receiving the news, only to find that the store had been completely emptied, even the jade pendant was nowhere to be found.

Word on the street was that there had been a bank robbery earlier today. Not only were the four gunmen defeated by a bare-handed man, all their arms had been broken by him as well... Brother Hui knew that this had to be the handiwork of a martial artist...

Both of the martial artists that Brother Hui had met were extremely ferocious, a mere mention of what had happened would greatly startle Brother Hui, so much so that he didn't even dare to loiter on the streets anymore…..

Under the dimly interrogation room, an old man with a head full of silver hair was sitting by a tableside.

There were two men standing by his side. The first man was tall and well built, he had a extremely defined features and a serious expression. There was a single star on the man's military uniform, this man was the commander of the military in this city, Commander Lu.

The other man was the district's police inspector, Inspector Liu.

The two men were extremely respectful to the old man, especially Commander Lu.

”Master Wang, we've brought the man over!” Commander Lu respectfully spoke.

”Mm!” The old man nodded his head as he faintly smiled: ”Little Lu, I've really troubled you this time!”

”What are you saying Master Wang? This is nothing! After all you've made the greatest contribution to this nation!” Commander Lu hurriedly replied.

The man chuckled, not saying another word as he stared at the fifty year old man that was being brought over.

This man was Li Mori. He wore an extremely mischievous expression on his face, lazily asking Inspector Liu: ”Inspector Liu, what is the meaning of this? Your men dragged me away early in the morning only to have me brought here at night? I already stopped all my activities these few years...”

As a veteran criminal, Li Mori was extremely familiar with the way that the police operated, he truly did not fear Inspector Liu.

Inspector Liu's face darkened, coldly warning him: ”Watch your words, look where you are!”

Li Mori chuckled as he indifferently replied: ”Inspector Liu, just take off these handcuffs, we both know that I'm a harmless old man.”

”Hmph! We both know how crafty you are, I can't trust a single word from your mouth!”

Truth be told, other than those young thugs that didn't understand how vast the world was, no one else would dare to be so unbridled in front of these government officials. The only reason that Li Mori was currently handcuffed was because Old Man Wang was here. Inspector Liu was afraid that something would happen to him.

”Haha!” The old man laughed as he walked towards Li Mori, twisting apart the metal handcuffs with two fingers as he chuckled: No worries Inspector Liu, I'd like to see who would dare to behave atrociously in front of me!”

”...”

Even though the interrogation room was dimly lit, the visibility here was still passable. The eyes of Inspector Liu and Li Mori almost popped out of their sockets as they saw the old man twist apart the handcuffs.

How was this possible? Was this old man some kind of monster?

”Do you know who I am?” The old man innocently smiled as he looked at Li Mori.

”No… not at all...” Li Mori nervously replied as he back became drenched with sweat. What a joke, knowing this old man wasn't good news at all…... after being a thug for so many years, self-preservation was one of Li Mori's best skills.

”Have you heard of the Northern Wang Clan?” The old man chuckled as he intently stared at Li Mori.

”Northern Wang Clan...” Li Mori thought for a while, seemingly remembering something before hurriedly shaking his head: ”I've never heard of it!”

”You're lying!” The old man smiled, pulling a jade pendant out of his pocket, waving it before Li Mori: ”I heard that this jade pendant was found in your store and it even belongs to my clan head...”

The jade pendant in his hand was the exact one that Wang Yu had given Brother Hui previously.

”I...” Li Mori choked on his own words as he started at the jade pendant, immediately kneeling on the ground: ”Lord, Lord Wang, this is a misunderstanding... no matter how daring I am I would never touch your clan, this was given to me by a small time thug...”

”And what is his name?” Old Man Wang asked as he kept the pendant.

”His name is Li Yan Hui, he's a member of this city. He stays in the West Park neighborhood, his phone number is...” In order to preserve his own life, Li Mori had sold Brother Hui out without the slightest bit of hesitation.

”Write this down.” Old Man Wang instructed Inspector Liu.

”I got it, I'll send my men out now!”

”Take him away and bring the others in.” Old Man Wang instructed.

Shortly after Li Mori had left the room, four other men were brought in...

These men were not wearing the typical prisoner's garb but hospital garments instead. Three of them had an eye wrapped in bandages while one had his arm in a cast.
