224: Chapter 224 Good News
Han Jingyang pointed to the room: "There are still some dangerous elements here that need to be dismantled."
Shen Yuhai raised an eyebrow: "Very dangerous?"
"Yes, it would be extremely dangerous for non-professionals to touch them rashly—the kind that kills without spilling blood."
"Can you dismantle them?"
"I can."
"Good, you go ahead and dismantle them, but we need to photograph and archive whatever you take down. These are all material evidence."
"No problem."
The dismantling work went very smoothly.
No one stood in his way.
There were even people helping to set up ladders and pass tools.
In the end, he dismantled a huge pile, almost filling up a police car.
Once everything was packed up, Han Jingyang glanced at Liu Jingyun, who looked ashen-faced: "Take care of yourself."
After saying that, he swept his gaze over the onlookers: "Tian Chunming stayed in your village for a long time. You or your family members must have come into contact with him, intentionally or otherwise. Be careful, especially those who asked him to adjust their feng shui; be extra cautious. Also, those with pretty teenage girls at home should check on them carefully."
The crowd erupted in an instant.
This statement contained a huge amount of information.
Many people's expressions changed immediately, and some even pushed their way out of the crowd.
Han Jingyang added another sentence: "Of course, if you see Tian Chunming again, remember to call the police."
Quancheng Police Station.
Shen Yuhai's office.
Shen Yuhai poured tea for Han Jingyang himself: "Brother, I'm really sorry."
Han Jingyang waved his hand: "It's just standard procedure, it's only right. Besides, I also want to thank you for helping me out of that situation."
"Hehe, it was just a small favor. Besides, you could have easily escaped even without me. I've seen your skills; you could have broken out by force, and everyone around you is a tough guy."
"Let's not talk about that," Han Jingyang waved his hand: "Old Shen, can I take those things I dismantled directly with me?"
"That's really hard to do. After all, so many people were watching. Once it's gone through the procedure, it's practically material evidence. If it's useless, it has to be returned to Liu Qing. After all, according to Liu Qing's statement, he bought them for a large sum of money."
"Old Shen, you're not trying to hog my spoils of war, are you?"
"Hahaha, how could that be? I don't even know how to use those things," Shen Yuhai laughed: "But the procedure really is like that. Brother, just wait a bit. Once the evidence screening is done, there are two destinations for these items: one is to return them directly to Liu Qing, and the other is to have people from the Bureau of Religious Affairs come to collect them. They have higher authority, so if they seize them, they seize them. Liu Qing would never dare to pick a fight with the Bureau of Religious Affairs. By then, if you ask for them, won't they all be yours?"
Han Jingyang: "..."
What is this?
I spend all day hunting geese, only to get pecked in the eye by one?
I worked so hard to defeat Tian Chunming, yet I got nothing?
And I wasted a dozen skills and even a very precious defensive item for nothing?
What the hell was the point of all that?
Ask the Bureau of Religious Affairs?
It's not like I can't, the Bureau of Religious Affairs would definitely give me face.
But if I really have to ask, the feeling is completely different. These are clearly my own spoils of war, yet I have to grovel to ask for them.
It's not just face that I'm losing, but the high stance of a master of metaphysics.
If this happens once, I won't be able to maintain my current attitude when facing the Bureau of Religious Affairs in the future.
If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have tried to save trouble at Liu Qing's house.
Bad luck.
Thinking this, the way he looked at Shen Yuhai changed.
Regardless of whether this Shen Yuhai did it on purpose or unintentionally, he has caused me a fair amount of trouble.
I have to give the old guy a piece of my mind.
Thinking of this, Han Jingyang nodded slightly: "Then there's nothing more to say. I'm heading back. The sacrifice this time was quite large, so I need to rest for a while. Don't bother me unless it's important."
After Han Jingyang left, the smile on Shen Yuhai's face turned into a bitter smile. He took out his phone and dialed a number: "Old Zhang, you've killed me. Little Han has a grievance against me. The friendship we worked so hard to build has just vanished into thin air. We're back to square one."
On the other end of the line was Zhang Zhiyang: "Old Shen, don't worry. Han Jingyang is not a petty person; he will understand you."
"Whether Little Han understands or not is Little Han's business, but what I did was a bit underhanded."
"Rest assured, nothing will be missing. After we study them, we'll return them to him. When that time comes, I'll let you deliver them to Jiguang Zhai yourself."
"Sigh, once a friendship has cracks, it's hard to mend it to its original state," Shen Yuhai sighed: "Old Zhang, we've known each other for so long. I know your temper. Although you are quite serious about certain things, you're not a petty person. It shouldn't be like this, right? And offending Han Jingyang for no reason doesn't seem like your style."
Zhang Zhiyang thought for a moment: "Old Shen, there are some things I can't tell you. I can only say that the strength Han Jingyang displayed is very sensitive. Tian Chunming, whom he just drove away, is even less of an ordinary person. The conflict between these two has an influence that exceeds my authority to handle. What I did was also executing orders from my superiors."
Shen Yuhai was shocked: "Little Han is being watched?"
"Look at how you ask that. Han Jingyang's strength is so great, and he's done so many big things. Even if those above were all good-for-nothings, they would still be watching him, let alone the fact that those above are not only not stupid, but exceptionally powerful and smart."
"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Whether it's a good thing is uncertain, but it's definitely not a bad thing. They will certainly conduct a behavioral pattern analysis on Han Jingyang and find a more suitable way to get along with him," Zhang Zhiyang laughed: "Old Zhang, don't overthink it. Although those people above are powerful, it's not like they have to recruit or even arrest every genius they discover. The comrades in the United Front departments aren't stupid."
Shen Yuhai quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Isn't it just that concern leads to chaos? I'm about to retire, and I don't want to get caught up in this kind of inexplicable dispute right before I retire."
Zhang Zhiyang chuckled: "Rest assured, as long as he doesn't mess around, it's a good thing."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "Don't say I'm not being a good friend. Let me whisper some inside information to you. Actually, this is a good thing for him, because a big shot has taken notice of him."
Shen Yuhai frowned: "This counts as a good thing?"
"What do you know? In the metaphysics circle, this is a good thing. At least he won't be at a disadvantage when it comes to intelligence. As a newcomer in the world, he lacks foundation and background, and doesn't even have a single reliable source of intelligence. How is he any different from a blind man? He wouldn't even know what's going on when danger strikes. With a big shot's attention, at least we can provide him with relevant intelligence or warnings when necessary."
"Just that?"
"Just that?" Zhang Zhiyang laughed again: "Key intelligence is more precious to Han Jingyang than most dharma instruments. To give you the simplest example, regarding this Tian Chunming affair, he certainly doesn't know how Tian Chunming escaped, but we do, and we even know Tian Chunming's hiding spot."
"You know? Why don't you make a move?"
"Because we can't. The person who rescued Tian Chunming... or rather, that organization, is very dangerous. Even we are unwilling to act rashly."
