49: Thunder Sweep

"These two."

Pan Zhen and Pan Xingnan's hearts trembled.

Liu Bai's eyes flickered.

"I'll have to trouble you two to come up to the podium."

Pan Xingnan forced a smile onto his face.

"I wonder where these two are from..."

He hadn't even finished his sentence.

Mo Fan and Li Ping stepped forward.

"Get up there."

Pan Zhen looked at Yi Heng, his face full of anger.

"Director Yi."

"While our Pan Family isn't some great Family, I, as an old man, am still a veteran who has bled for the Dragon Country."

"It's one thing to say we're cooperating with your operation, but now these few wet-behind-the-ears brats..."

Yi Heng stepped forward, the gentleness on his face gone, replaced by indifference.

"Old Master Pan."

"The wisest thing you can do right now."

"Is to properly fulfill the requests of these lords."

Pan Zhen's face turned blue and then white; he let out a cold snort.

"With so many people here today."

"I don't believe the Security Bureau can cover the sky with one hand!"

After saying that, he walked toward the podium while frantically pumping himself up internally.

It won't happen!

They definitely don't have evidence!

Without evidence, they won't dare to take action!

Seeing this, Pan Xingnan also suppressed the fear in his heart and immediately followed.

The people in the banquet hall immediately began whispering.

"What does this mean?"

"Today is the Pan Family patriarch's great birthday; some enemy didn't deliberately find these people to cause embarrassment, did they?"

"Big brother."

"Use your brain and think for a second."

"If the Pan Family had an enemy who could mobilize the Security Bureau, would they even need to do all this?"

Just as Pan Zhen and Pan Xingnan thought the suspicion was only on the two of them.

What happened next was like a sledgehammer striking their hearts over and over again.

Lin Yan led Liu Bai through the entire banquet hall.

"You."

"You."

"And you."

One by one, people of various ages were pointed out and walked onto the podium.

As more and more people were pointed out.

Liu Bai's gaze grew colder and colder.

Even without looking at the increasingly pale Pan Zhen and Pan Xingnan on the podium, he could already tell from the expressions and demeanors these people momentarily revealed.

Lin Yan wasn't just pointing blindly.

He could truly see through them.

What is he doing?

Don't come over here!!

Jing Pengtian shrank back toward Jing Anhe.

Jing Anhe watched Liu Bai and Lin Yan walking toward him, his gaze solemn.

He was certain.

Of everyone present, aside from those in the Pan Family, only he knew most clearly what was currently happening.

He suddenly turned his head, looking at Jing Pengtian with grief and indignation.

"You..."

His eyes held unspeakable disappointment and struggle.

"Why did you have to contact them!"

"Do you know that doing this will kill you, and even more so, kill the Family?"

What?

What are you talking about?!

Jing Pengtian was at a loss, his eyes blank.

Just say it!

What kind of god-awful thing did I do?!

"Classmate Jing."

Lin Yan arrived before him with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

Jing Pengtian turned his head and roared in a breakdown.

"Lin Yan!"

"Are you just unwilling to let me go!"

"You were the one who challenged my gym, and you were the one who stole my goddess!"

"You're just determined to pick on me, aren't you?!!"

"You're not some 'strongest freshman in the country,' you're just a bastard!"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong with you?"

Jing Pengtian was crying hysterically.

"Yes!"

"Something is wrong with me!"

"I'm very sick!"

"Come on then!"

"Aren't you here specifically to humiliate me?"

"Do it!"

*Hiss!*

The expressions of everyone in the banquet hall were shaken.

"I was wondering why he looked so familiar."

"So it's Lin Yan."

"Did he come here specifically for the young master of the Jing Family?"

"What conflict is there between the two?"

"Even the Pan Family, which is close to the Jing Family, is getting dragged in."

Lin Yan raised his hand, not bothered to deal with him anymore.

Jing Anhe's gaze met Liu Bai's cold eyes.

Sigh.

He powerlessly loosened his fists.

A massive force struck.

Jing Pengtian was instantly pushed aside.

Pan Meng, whose body was trembling slightly as she kept her head down, appeared in their field of vision.

"Her."

"Gone."

Eh?

The expression of the still somewhat frantic Jing Pengtian froze.

Eh?

Jing Anhe, who had already been prepared to close his eyes in pain, paused in his actions.

Before the two could react.

"Dad, Grandpa!!"

Pan Meng shouted in terror.

Pan Zhen and Pan Xingnan on the podium grit their teeth.

Even Meng'er, who had only just made contact this morning, was pointed out.

This clearly meant the evidence was irrefutable!

They couldn't care anymore!

Rather than waiting to die, it was better to fight while there were many people!

"Kill our way out!!"

Suddenly.

*Roar!!*

A series of roars that sounded part-beast, part-not rang out from the podium.

The eyes of all the personnel who had been called up turned blood-red instantly, and they all chose a direction to attack.

What?!

The sudden drastic change made it impossible for the guests in the banquet hall to react in time.

But.

That was only them.

The moment Pan Zhen and Pan Xingnan's voices fell.

Mo Fan and Li Ping, who were near the podium, had already drawn their blades.

"Clean up the Dark Cultists!"

Yi Heng's gaze turned cold.

"Security Bureau!"

"Fully cooperate!"

He threw a punch toward Pan Zhen, who was trying to escape.

"Leave her to me!"

Lin Yan charged forward.

"No... No!!"

"I don't know anyth..."

Pan Meng retreated repeatedly, but before she could finish her sentence.

A sharp, fierce wind struck.

Bang—!

Lin Yan kicked her in the abdomen.

*Pfft!*

Severe pain swept through her.

The world spun.

Pan Meng crashed heavily to the ground, all signs of life gone.

At the same time.

Boom... Boom boom... A series of explosions resounded.

The massive banquet hall collapsed with a bang in an instant.

The rumbling came quickly and left just as fast.

When Lin Yan turned around, he already saw corpses lying in all directions amidst the rubble and ruins.

The battle.

Was over.

*Cough... cough...*

Numerous figures appeared, looking disheveled, their eyes filled with horror as they looked at the bloody scene nearby.

Holy cow!!

In less than two seconds.

The high-level members of the massive Pan Family were basically all dead!

What kind of terrifying organization did this Lin Yan join?

"I wanted to leave him alive for you guys."

"In the end, he committed suicide."

Yi Heng threw Pan Zhen's corpse onto the ground.

"It's fine."

"Capturing them alive was never easy to begin with."

Liu Bai turned his head to look at everyone.

"The following cleanup will be a trouble for you again."

Yi Heng gave a hearty laugh.

"I said it's no trouble."

He looked at the numerous personnel whose eyes were still blood-red even in death.

"These guys' infiltration ability is too strong."

Liu Bai looked at Lin Yan, who was walking over.

"It's also thanks to this kid."

Yi Heng had been watching the entire process just now, so he naturally understood what he meant.

"You guys have found a treasure."

Liu Bai remained noncommittal.

"Let's go."

"You guys hurry up."

Yi Heng, who understood Black Ice's style of doing things very well, didn't waste any more words.

"Alright."

At this time.

"That..."

Lin Yan's eyes flickered.

Mo Fan instantly knew what he wanted to say.

He stepped forward, put his arm around his shoulder, and walked out.

"You kid, don't be thinking about those things all day."

"Aren't the high-level members of the Pan Family mostly dead?"

"You also said they're 'mostly dead,' not all dead."

"We're only responsible for cleaning up Dark Cultists, we're not the underworld."

"If we kill them all, how could the country stand it?"

[Although not the main force, the Host played a significant role. With the overbearing cleaning up of a second-tier family cancer, index 1.5 stars, charge value 30%]

Lin Yan, who had already been dragged to the door, withdrew his gaze from the System.

"Fine then."

After watching the four leave, Yi Heng turned to look at the bewildered people present and spoke with a smile.

"I'll have to trouble everyone to move."

"Have a cup of heart-warming tea."

The Security Bureau personnel stepped forward one by one.

"Dad."

A shivering Jing Pengtian tugged at Jing Anhe's sleeve.

"It's okay."

Jing Anhe consoled him.

"After you finish the tea, you'll understand."

Jing Pengtian nodded slightly.

The old man is still reliable.

Seeing his son in this state.

The image of Lin Yan insta-killing Pan Meng just now appeared in Jing Anhe's mind, and he spoke with a sigh of emotion.

"Indeed, I can't blame you for being too useless."

Ah?!

Jing Pengtian looked up.
