Chapter 156: The Worm Appears

chillingly eerie."Damn it!!!" Lei Hongkun roared, recognizing his son's voice."Remember, you only have three hours. When time is up and you can't find Ruirui, you will be responsible for the conseque...“Before this, your son should have done quite a few similar things, right”

Ling Hao glanced at Zhang Jinong before turning to the judge: "Look into it, and see if there's any illustrious history!"

"Received!" The judge nodded and took out a phone specifically designed for the Shadow Gate, operating it.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhang Jinnong's brows furrowed again. The nonchalant attitude of Ling Hao and his companions gave him a sense of unease.

Logically speaking, the two characters "Shadow Gate" should have scared the majority of people. However, the other party not only showed no fear but also proactively asked him to summon someone.

Could it really be something big

"How are you" After a few minutes, Ling Hao looked at the Judge and asked.

"His record is full of crimes!" the judge responded. "Over the past three years, he committed ten offenses, two of which resulted in fatalities."

First, racing with people on the highway, causing a private car to be knocked flying, resulting in one death and one injury.

Secondly, colluding with others to bully a female college student at a bar, leading to her suicide.

"After every incident, someone always comes out to speak for him and then it's settled with money!"

"Hmm!" Zhang Jinong's uneasiness grew stronger and stronger.

Could someone just easily bring up this information with a few swipes on their phone Who is this person anyway

"Very good!" Ling Hao said in a deep voice. "That's enough!"

"You're really something else, think you're the emperor or something" Zhang Xiaorui shouted loudly when he heard Ling Hao's words.

Click! Click!

Before the words could even finish, he flew back out again, several of his ribs cracking with a sickening sound, and blood gushed from his mouth.

"Rui'er!" Zhang Jinong ran over again: "Rui'er, how are you Are you alright"

"If you can't control your mouth, I won't wait for your so-called uncle to come. I'll just kill you first!" The judge gave him a cold stare.

"You", Zhang Xiaorui, opened your mouth, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

"You're all going to die! You dare hurt my Rui'er I will make you pay dearly for this!" Zhang Jinong's face was contorted with rage.

"Alright, stop talking and wait for your person to come!" Ling Hao said casually before walking to a nearby parasol and sitting down.

The Judge and Lu Yue stood on either side of him.

"Summon all members of the East Zone Shadow Gate from Deputy Director level and above!" Ling Hao pulled out a cigarette and looked at the Judge.

"Alright!" The judge was slightly taken aback before pulling out his phone and making a call. He knew this time his older brother meant business!

Knock! Knock! Knock!

In less than twenty minutes, a flurry of hurried footsteps sounded at the courtyard gate.

Moments later, a man in his thirties with a grim expression entered. It was Hong Wang, followed by four members of the Yingmen.

"Brother-in-law, what kind of person would eat a leopard's gall and dare to make trouble at your house!" Hong Wang walked into the courtyard, ignoring the three people under the sun umbrella.

"Uncle, how come you're just arriving now I'm about to be beaten to death!" Zhang Xiaorui shouted loudly.

"Huh!" Hong Wang saw Zhang Xiaorui's state and frowned, "Who on earth is this"

"It's them!" Zhang Xiaorui pointed at Ling Hao and his two companions, speaking.

Hong Wang followed his hand gesture and looked around.

Plop!

When he recognized the three people, Hong Wang directly knelt down, his whole body uncontrollably trembling, his face full of astonishment.

The four people behind him also had terrified expressions. They didn't have time to think, so they quickly knelt down with a thud.

Five people never expected that the general would appear here.

They all knew Ling Hao's character. He absolutely had zero tolerance for bullying under the banner of Yingmen!

Before this, many people have been beheaded for this!

"Uncle, what's wrong with you" Zhang Xiaorui exclaimed in surprise.

"Hong Wang, who is he" Zhang Jin Nong's body trembled involuntarily. He knew today must be a serious matter!

"Dudu Shuai", Hong Wang, drenched in cold sweat, no longer cared about the father and son. He looked at Ling Hao, his voice trembling.

Boom!

Upon hearing his designation, both Zhang Jin Nong and his son slumped to the ground simultaneously, their faces etched with utter terror.

My lord!

He is actually the King of the West, the Master of the Shadow Gate!

Now they finally know what they've gotten themselves into!

"What is the purpose of the Shadow Gate" Ling Hao looked at Hong Wang and spoke faintly.

"Duda, I was wrong, I..." Hong Wang kowtowed vigorously.

"I'm asking you what the purpose of Yingmen is." Ling Hao's tone was flat, and there was no expression on his face.

"Upholding justice, suppressing evil and punishing wickedness," Hong Wang swallowed nervously before responding.

"Can you explain the meaning of these characters to me" Ling Hao asked, taking a drag of his cigarette.

"General, I was wrong, I really was. Please, General, give me another chance, I promise I won't do it again," Hong Wang kowtowed once more.

"Zhang Xiaorui has done so many things that could have gotten him killed, yet he remains unscathed. It must have been you who smoothed things over, right" Ling Hao continued to ask.

"Please, General, please spare my life! I won't dare to do it again!" Hong Wang trembled uncontrollably.

"Hong Wang did these things, you four should have them too!" Ling Hao continued to look at the other four and asked.

"Please spare our lives, General! We will never do this again!" The four of them bowed their heads and begged for mercy.

"Hmph, you're all pretty good!" Ling Hao chuckled coldly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded once again at the entrance of the courtyard.

Then, a line of twenty or thirty people appeared at the courtyard gate in a hurry.

These people are the core members of the Eastzhou Shadow Gate, ranging from inspectors to deputy squad leaders, a total of twenty-eight.

As soon as a group of people entered the courtyard, they saw five people kneeling on the ground along with Ling Hao and his three companions.

“Greetings, General! Greetings, esteemed Prefect!” They quickly approached Ling Hao and knelt down, all at once, shouting in unison.

"Judge, you should introduce the situation to them first." Ling Hao spoke faintly.

"Received!" The Judge nodded vigorously and then turned to the group, describing what had happened.

Yikes!

After the judge's words, there was a gasp of astonishment.

Everyone knew that Marshal had called them here to make an example of someone!

"Hong Wang, you really deserve to die!" Dongzhou Shadow Gate's number one person in charge, Inspector Feng Xu, looked at Hong Wang and roared angrily.

"Inspector Liu, please help me! Please plead with Chief Inspector for me!"

Hong Wang was still trembling all over. He scanned the crowd and then looked at his immediate superior, calling out in a shaky voice.

"Hongwang, you bastard! You did such a wicked thing, and you still have the face to ask me to plead for you I'll kill you!"

After hearing Hong Wang's words, a man named Liu Bin's eyes flashed with panic.

As soon as the words left his lips, he flipped his wrist, a curved blade appearing in his hand. A chillingly sharp gleam sliced through the air.xion. Besides him, there were many core members of the Zhao family sitting."Second brother, is there still no news of Lu Jun" Zhao Yuehua asked in a low voice."No!" Zhao Yuehui shook his head. "I've b...
