130: Fake City Patrol

Qian family.

In a four-courtyard compound.

A middle-aged man was reclining on a lounge chair, teasing a mermaid in a giant bathtub.

This mermaid was extremely similar to the ones in stories.

However, it was clearly visible that there was a slight look of fear on her face.

She seemed to be trying to please the man reclining on the lounge chair.

Just then, the phone in the man's pocket suddenly vibrated.

"Third Master, we have discovered the whereabouts of the target, and they are currently at Fandou Garden!"

"The target is related to Li Canglan. We are no match for the opponent; requesting backup!"

Seeing this message, a flash of wariness crossed Third Master Qian's eyes.

He was the overall person in charge of the operation to capture Keer.

He was also one of the current helmsmen of the Qian family.

Although the Qian family did not have any younger generation participating in this year's Martial Arts Examination.

But as Third Master Qian, he naturally cared about the outstanding Geniuses in the examination.

If convenient, he could find an opportunity to recruit them under his command to expand the Qian family's influence.

Anyone who watched the examination would notice the Genius Li Canglan.

Third Master Qian never expected that someone like Keer would actually get involved with Li Canglan.

As a 3-Star Early Stage Martial Artist, he naturally did not fear Li Canglan.

But he had to consider carefully how to handle the relationship with Li Canglan.

Thinking of this, Third Master Qian could only send a message to the Old Master.

A reply came back quickly.

"Regardless of who it is, as long as they threaten the safety of the Qian family, they must die!"

With his father's words, Third Master Qian felt relieved.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

If Li Canglan was sensible, then he would recruit him into the Qian family's command.

If he was not sensible, then he would act first and report later!

In the end, it would merely mean paying some price.

To be safe, Third Master Qian prepared to take action himself.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take out a handful of bait and throw it into the water tank.

"Be good, wait for me to return, and I will dote on you properly!"

A trace of human-like fear flashed across the mermaid's face, but she was helpless.

Her body had been modified into this state; it was impossible for her to escape from here using her own strength.

To her, the Qian family was a prison from which she could never escape.

And she was just one of the many unremarkable prisoners in the Qian family.

Fandou Garden Subway Station.

"You... you will definitely regret this!"

The burly thug stared at Li Canglan, gnashing his teeth.

He wanted to stall for time as much as possible.

Just a moment ago, while Li Canglan was negotiating with the Patrol Guard.

His lackeys had secretly seized the opportunity to report the situation here to the family.

As long as they waited for Third Master to arrive, no matter how powerful Li Canglan was, he wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble.

The act of those thugs sending word naturally did not escape Li Canglan's eyes.

But he did not interrupt them.

The purpose of his trip was to lure the snake out of its hole.

He wasn't afraid of the Qian family sending people; he was only afraid that they wouldn't send anyone!

But this did not mean that Li Canglan could tolerate being threatened by others.

Let alone that this person was his prisoner.

Slap!

Li Canglan slapped the burly man hard across the face.

Hitting him so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with two teeth.

"I advise you to stay quiet."

Li Canglan's gaze was gloomy.

Even if these lackeys of the Qian family were lined up and shot, not many good people would be wrongly killed.

Not long after, messy footsteps rang out in the surroundings again.

"Finally here, are they?"

Li Canglan chuckled and looked over.

But he discovered that it was the Patrol Guard again.

"What is wrong with these guys? Do they not know to notify the surrounding Patrol Guards?"

Li Canglan muttered to himself.

Why couldn't this group of Patrol Guards go do something else instead of targeting him alone?

"Hands on your head, squat down! Otherwise, we will take thunderous action and suppress you directly!"

The leading Patrol Guard captain roared at Li Canglan.

At the same time, the Patrol Guards in the team all raised their Thunderfire Muskets.

Seeing this scene, Li Canglan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Ordinary gunpowder bullets did not pose much of a threat to Martial Artists.

As long as they were prepared, Martial Artists could almost always dodge bullets.

Therefore, when dealing with riots, some Patrol Guards would deploy Thunderfire Muskets!

This type of musket used volatile crystal core energy as its main component.

Even a Martial Artist's body could not withstand it head-on!

The previous wave of Patrol Guards hadn't even used Thunderfire Muskets.

This wave of Patrol Guards was ready to kill him the moment they arrived?

Li Canglan shielded Keer behind him and took out his Shadow Guard identification from his pocket.

"I am a Patrol Guard, and I am currently performing official duties."

Just as Li Canglan took out the Shadow Guard identification, the muskets in the opponents' hands suddenly flickered.

The next instant, a burst of thunderous flames carrying a destructive aura sprayed out.

Li Canglan's gaze sharpened, and a trace of killing intent flashed.

He hurriedly took Keer and dodged, avoiding that shot from the musket.

But those people lying on the ground didn't have such good luck.

One of the Martial Artists was hit by this shot.

Half of his body instantly turned charred black.

After letting out a scream, he passed out from the pain.

This scene scared the other Qian family thugs until they were drenched in cold sweat.

"What is the meaning of this?"

Li Canglan asked coldly.

"Impersonating a Shadow Guard, I think you are tired of living!"

The leading Patrol Guard snorted coldly.

"Fire! Today I will definitely kill this madman on the spot!"

Following the captain's command, those few Patrol Guards set up their muskets, blocking all of Li Canglan's escape routes.

Li Canglan's gaze was gloomy.

As a violent enforcement agency, the Patrol Guard did indeed have law enforcement power.

But there had never been a precedent of Patrol Guards shooting indiscriminately without distinguishing right from wrong!

At the same time, the remaining Qian family Martial Artists actually climbed to their feet and walked toward these Patrol Guards.

And looking at their faces, it was completely an expression of having survived a disaster.

"You are people from the Qian family?"

The leading Patrol Guard curled his lips.

"I didn't expect our new Zhuangyuan to actually have some brains."

"I can give you a chance to join our camp; otherwise, there is only one dead end."

Li Canglan's gaze was icy.

"If you do this, are you not afraid of being held accountable by Commander Fu?"

"Hehe."

Third Master Qian laughed wantonly.

"All surveillance within a two-kilometer radius around here has been destroyed. The Patrol Guard will never know what happened here."

"As for those scapegoats, if they die after the matter is over, then so be it."

"These are not things you should worry about."

Speaking of this, Third Master Qian raised his wrist and checked the time.

"You have 30 seconds to consider: join, or die."

Third Master Qian still understood the principle that villains die from talking too much.

If it weren't for cherishing Li Canglan's strength and wanting to recruit him under his command.

He would have already ordered his men to shoot and kill him.

"Is all the surveillance damaged?"

Li Canglan curled his lips.

"Then I can send you on your way with peace of mind."
