Chapter 180 Landing Safely

But just as Jiang Chen was preparing to make a move, a sudden change occurred.

The missile, which had been whistling through the air, suddenly seemed to turn into a headless fly, darting around erratically before finally flying into the sea.

Boom!

A violent explosion resounded through the sky, kicking up waves dozens of meters high; the power was terrifying to the extreme.

Jiang Chen lightly dodged the fierce explosion. He had just imagined that if he were to go head-to-head with this missile, it shouldn't cause any damage to himself.

Jianzhen's golden body should also be able to withstand this kind of impact; after all, Susanoo's fist was much stronger than the power of this scattered missile.

However, Jia He might not be able to withstand it, and he couldn't guarantee that he could protect Jia He from this missile.

Jiang Chen's eyes were deep; regardless of what explanation Huaguo had for this missile, he would not let the matter rest so easily.

"Pfft!"

Jia He, who had been lifted from the seawater, was already breathing his last; as soon as he came out, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of seawater.

"Cough, cough, Ancestral Master, were we attacked by the island nation's missile?"

Although he had been in the seawater just now, he was not completely ignorant of the changes around him, especially the sheer power of that missile.

And the fact that such a terrifying missile couldn't even threaten the Ancestral Master made Jia He admire him even more.

"No, I'm afraid it's just some people in Huaguo who are a bit dissatisfied with me."

"Ah? That missile, could it be that Huaguo fired it at us?!"

"Hmm, we'll know naturally when we go back."

Jiang Chen once again exerted his extreme speed, rushing toward the coast of Huaguo.

Before long, he had already arrived at the city closest to the coastline.

At this moment, he could already see someone waiting for him on the shore.

However, that person could not fly and could only stand on the ground, waving at him constantly.

Regarding this situation, Jiang Chen just took one look, then stopped paying attention, instead accelerating and flying directly over that person's head toward Binhai City.

The person on the ground was the Bureau Chief of the 749 Bureau in this city. Having received orders from his superiors, he had been waiting early on the road that Jiang Chen might pass through, specifically to watch him.

He just wanted to explain the issue with that missile to Jiang Chen at the first opportunity, so that Jiang Chen would not hold a grudge against Huaguo.

In his expectation, Jiang Chen might believe him, or he might not, but being completely ignored and just flown past like that was truly beyond his expectations.

But this also indicated that Jiang Chen was likely very dissatisfied, or even angry, at this moment.

That person rubbed his nose and smiled indifferently; when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. He was just the Bureau Chief of a small Earth-Grade city's 749 Bureau, so why worry so much?

As for the power struggle between the upper levels and the Daoist sects, he had also heard a little about it; it was said to be a struggle between the Huaguo authorities and the Daoist sects.

In reality, it was just a conflict between several large Families and the Daoist sects. However, many people in these large Families held high positions yet failed to distinguish between the priority of Family and country, placing personal interests above the national level.

Regarding this phenomenon, he could only pretend not to see it. His ability was insufficient, he couldn't influence the overall situation, so what was the use of seeing it?

This Bureau Chief took out a satellite phone and dialed it leisurely.

"Hello, you all should have seen it, right? He didn't pay any attention to me at all and just flew away... Hmm, okay, okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but sigh.

Only cultivators like Jiang Chen could remain unconstrained by these large Families, right?

"Heh, the sky of Huaguo is about to change."

...

Jiang Chen flew all the way and soon reached Binhai City.

He flew over the 749 Bureau and then landed directly inside the 749 Bureau building.

At first, seeing someone suddenly fly in, the members of the 749 Bureau were panic-stricken, but upon seeing the face of the newcomer clearly, they lowered their guard one after another.

However, they still couldn't help but be shocked, because they did not know what had happened in the island nation and on the sea, nor did they know what kind of cultivator could fly through the Void Realm.

But since ancient times, flight has always been a term reserved for the powerful and mysterious!

After arriving at the 749 Bureau, Captain Xu Chang quickly received the news and ran out from the door.

"Jiang Chen, did we get our Magical Artifact?"

Following closely behind him was a Five-colored Sika Deer with an arrogant expression, but with a trace of vigilance in its eyes, walking over with light and cautious hooves.

Jiang Chen took a few extra looks at this Sika Deer, which made it even more tense, but it hadn't yet reached the stage of transformation, so it was impossible to tell from its current appearance.

The Mountain Lord had left earlier, saying he was going to the east to look for an old friend, but that old friend had a rather bad temper and might start a fight upon meeting, so he didn't bring the Five-Colored Deer.

Without the Mountain Lord here, in a strange environment, the Five-Colored Deer's arrogant aura diminished significantly for a moment.

Jiang Chen did not answer Captain Xu Chang's question immediately, but instead asked:

"Earlier, when I was returning from the sea, a missile was fired at me. Do you know about this?"

Captain Xu Chang was stunned, and then his expression changed drastically.

"Jiang Chen, I swear, I only reported your situation to the higher-ups truthfully. I know nothing about their decisions, and I repeatedly emphasized that you have no malice toward Huaguo!"

Jiang Chen just watched Captain Xu Chang quietly, and Captain Xu Chang's expression was extremely ugly, but his eyes had no dodging or guilt.

"I believe you. Didn't a special envoy come to the 749 Bureau? I want to see him."

Captain Xu Chang showed a look of difficulty on his face: "You suspect that Team Leader Zhou Hongwei harbors malice toward you and deliberately fired the missile to put you to death?"

He shook his head: "Although he is narrow-minded, according to his character, he might really do such a thing, but he is only an investigation team leader. Even if he is a member of the Beijing Zhou Family, he does not have the authority to do such a thing."

Jiang Chen did not speak; he only trusted his own judgment. If Team Leader Zhou Hongwei was truly innocent, he naturally would not do anything.

Just at this moment, Captain Xu Chang's phone suddenly rang.

Captain Xu Chang took it out and answered it. His expression changed first, and then he became respectful.

"Chief, yes, yes, okay!"

Then he handed the phone to Jiang Chen and said: "It's from Beijing, the Third Chief wants to speak with you."

Jiang Chen had also heard the voice on the phone just now. Being able to alarm the Third Chief of Huaguo to personally call him and explain showed no lack of sincerity, so he took the phone and answered.

"Hello, is this Mr. Jiang Chen?" On the phone, there was a slightly aged but vigorous voice.

"It is me."

"Mr. Jiang, the contributions you made in Binhai to Huaguo are witnessed by all of us." He paused, then continued.

"The main reason for this call is to explain to you that this incident was not the will of our Huaguo, but an accident. We are also deeply grateful and sorry that this accident did not result in major consequences. No matter what compensation you want, Mr. Jiang, within my authority, I will do my best to satisfy you!"

Jiang Chen had originally held hope for this call, but at this moment, his mood was like a small fire that had suddenly been doused with a basin of cold water.

His voice was slightly colder: "If firing a missile is an accident, then I would like to ask you, Chief, if I accidentally kill a few blind fools, does that also count as an accident?"

In an instant, the atmosphere on both ends of the phone suddenly stagnated!

...

(Brothers, good night)
