Chapter 210 The Jiang Family's Rampant Power
In Suzhou, heavy snow fell at night, and the biting wind turned the mountains and fields into a vast expanse of white.
At this moment, the abandoned factory was surrounded by a large number of law enforcement vehicles. Accompanied by blinding headlights and shrill sirens, the place became extremely noisy.
The Jiang family is causing trouble again.
Recently, the number of people going missing has been increasing.
It includes not only college students, but also various underage students, covering the entire youth population.
The Suzhou government has launched a full investigation and attaches great importance to this matter, mobilizing the entire city's law enforcement resources.
They found their way here, to an abandoned factory, and they found the mastermind behind it all: the Jiang family, the local tyrants of Jiangnan!
It wasn't just a large number of police cars, but also a large number of military vehicles; even the military was alerted, which shows how seriously this matter was taken.
This time, the Jiang family arrested more than a hundred children in one go.
They're incredibly arrogant; they've stopped pretending altogether.
This time, it directly alarmed the Chinese army.
The leader was a young man around thirty years old. He had a buzz cut, fair skin with a dark complexion, and scars on his face. He was dressed in a military uniform, tall and imposing, and walked with a powerful stride. His every move exuded an air of authority.
His name is Su Ping'an. Born into a military family, he is a member of the elite elite. Although his background is very high and his power is terrifying, he has earned his current position through countless battles. He did not seek fame or fortune, but rather forged himself into pure gold. His stance is definitely firmly on the side of the people.
At this moment, he led his army to surround the people on the other side.
The person opposite him was also a young man around thirty years old. He was from the Jiang family and his name was Jiang Zhongzheng. He had his hair parted in the middle and was slicked back. At this moment, he was being protected by a group of private armed forces.
Su Ping'an shouted, "Jiang Zhongzheng, surrender! Your Jiang family has really gone too far this time!"
Jiang Zhongzheng, standing behind the guards, laughed loudly at Su Ping'an upon hearing this: "Su Ping'an, you and I are exactly the same kind of people, don't pretend to be so righteous."
Su Ping'an raised an eyebrow, immediately understanding what the other party meant, and said angrily, "Jiang Zhongzheng, I am very different from you. I have impeccable revolutionary credentials. My entire family has shed blood and sacrificed for this country! And you, Jiang Zhongzheng, what are you? Your Jiang family are nothing but those who reap the benefits of others' labor, thieves of the fruits of the people's labor, speculators who engage in speculation and profiteering, complete reactionaries, and poisonous insects that harm this country."
"Release those children immediately!"
"There is still room for maneuver in this matter."
"If you don't give way, we'll launch a full-scale attack!"
Su Ping'an commanded the army to surround the enemy from all sides.
Jiang Zhongzheng burst into laughter: "You, surnamed Su, you really keep getting labeled one after another. Someone like you, who has already reached this level, is completely different from these lowly people. Why make such a fuss over a few ants!"
Su Ping'an cursed, "Bullshit, Jiang Zhongzheng! Our China was founded to defeat people like you! Now I'm giving you a chance to lay down your arms and surrender. Release those children immediately, and there's still room for negotiation!"
Jiang Zhongzheng said, "You, surnamed Su, are too confident. The lives of those lowly people are now in our hands. Where do you get the confidence to make me lay down my weapons and surrender? You should be kneeling down and begging me. Right now, you have no bargaining chips to negotiate with me."
Su Ping'an was very angry, but he remained rational and would not act rashly now, for fear that Jiang Zhongzheng would harm the children who had been captured. Therefore, although the area was surrounded by the army, no gunfight broke out. Otherwise, if the army were to be mobilized, it would not be so simple, and the entire abandoned factory would be razed to the ground overnight.
Su Pingan said in a deep voice, "Jiang Zhongzheng, tell me, what do you want in return for letting those children go?"
Jiang Zhongzheng said, "I can let these lowly people go, but I have one condition. Now you have everyone leave, and as a negotiation, I will release half of the lowly people to you first."
The private guards were well-trained, many of them masked, wearing state-of-the-art armor, and burly. Many were foreign mercenaries or retired special forces soldiers, and they were highly trained. They were in control of the more than one hundred children they had captured.
Jiang Zhongzheng went even further, grabbing a three- or four-year-old boy, holding him hostage, and pointing a gun at the child's temple.
Outside, all the military and police officers watched with immense anger.
Su Ping'an immediately ordered, "Everyone, stand back one hundred meters!"
The soldiers immediately retreated in unison to a distance of 100 meters.
Jiang Zhongzheng continued, "Make sure all your men put down their guns!"
Su Pingan ordered, "Everyone, put down your guns!"
The soldiers all laid down their weapons.
Jiang Zhongzheng sneered, and not only took the child hostage, but also had each member of the private guard team take a hostage. The group walked out of the factory like this.
Su Ping'an was in a terrible predicament, wondering how to break this deadlock.
He shouted, "Jiang Zhongzheng, we have done as you said, and you should fulfill your promise and release half of the hostages."
Jiang Zhongzheng didn't speak, but simply ordered his men to release half of the hostages and push them forward. The hostages were terrified and were taken over by the military and police.
Su Ping'an's face was solemn; there were still half the people left.
He shouted, "Jiang Zhongzheng, what will it take for you to release the rest of them!"
Jiang Zhongzheng chuckled: "Once we reach the Jiang family, we'll naturally release these lowly people. Do you agree or not? If you don't, we'll fight you to the death right now, and none of these lowly people will survive!"
Upon hearing this, many military and police personnel gasped.
Su Ping'an's brows were furrowed deeply.
This is indeed a very tricky matter.
The other party's attitude was very tough. Based on everyone's understanding of Jiang Zhongzheng, they knew that he was a man who was truly willing to risk his life.
They can say it, and they can do it.
If we don't do as they ask, they might really go all out and slaughter the remaining hostages.
This would be a problem for anyone, and all they can do now is comply with the other party's demands and send them back to the Jiang family.
At this moment, a bureau chief stepped forward and suggested, "Comrade Ping An, why don't we ask those martial arts practitioners to handle this matter?"
Su Ping'an shook his head: "Don't count on those selfish guys. Without sufficient incentive, how could they possibly help these poor ordinary people? In their eyes, what do the lives of mortals have to do with them?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
For Jiang Zhongzheng, returning to the Jiang family's base would solve everything, because the Jiang family had a master in charge, and he was absolutely confident that he could escape alive once he got there.
You should know that he captured these children according to the instructions of that master, in order to refine an elixir of immortality.
In the end, Su Ping'an agreed to the other party's request.
"Alright, Jiang Zhongzheng, we'll do it your way."
"I'll let you go back to the Jiang family, but you must release these children!"
Surrounded by a group of mercenaries, each holding a hostage, Jiang Zhong got into a car and drove away one after another.
Su Pingan immediately led his men to follow them.
Soon, they left the suburban factory and entered the mountain road. Following the other party's convoy, they arrived at the entrance of a small town. This was the Jiang family's territory, their main base. The town was surrounded by walls several meters high on all sides, making it resemble a closed steel fortress, which was astonishing.
Furthermore, once you enter here, even the signal is blocked, and all communication is cut off.
Meanwhile, in the distant sky...
Yun Chen was already on his way to Suzhou. After traveling by flying on his magical artifact and constantly adjusting his energy and spirit to recover, he located the Jiang family base and flew directly towards it.
