Chapter 148 What Are You?
Lin Shuang finally stopped and looked back doubtfully at the man in the black windbreaker.
"Who are you?" Lin Shuang asked indifferently.
The middle-aged man had a very strong presence. He coldly said, "You don't recognize me, Gao Yuan?!"
Lin Shuang shook his head seriously. He genuinely didn't recognize him.
"How insolent! A lowly commoner! Seeing the Deputy City Lord of Jiangnan, Lord Gao Yuan, and you still don't kneel to pay your respects?!" At this moment, a group of armed guards on both sides shouted angrily.
"Oh? So you're the Deputy City Lord of Jiangnan?" Lin Shuang finally realized and said scornfully, "Heh... the second-in-command of Jiangnan? You want to protect the Bai Family? Seems like Bai Wangchuan has transferred quite a lot of benefits to you, tsk tsk."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan's expression cooled slightly.
As the second-in-command of Jiangnan, second to one and above millions, no one in the entire Jiangnan had ever spoken to him like this.
"Young man, arrogance doesn't bode well, I advise you to act wisely and stop while you can. In this world, there are some people you can provoke, but others... you can't afford to provoke," Gao Yuan spoke calmly, his voice bearing the pressure of a high-ranking authority.
As the Deputy City Lord of Jiangnan, his position was lofty, and he could act capriciously, virtually covering the sky with one hand in Jiangnan.
Having finished speaking, he then commanded his subordinates, "Take Bai Wangchuan to the car and send him to the hospital."
In Gao Yuan's eyes, Lin Shuang certainly wouldn't dare to touch Bai Wangchuan again now that he, the Deputy City Lord, had intervened.
But Lin Shuang indifferently said, "Hold on, did I say... he could go? He stole dozens of warehouses of medicinal materials from the Su Family; this matter is not yet settled."
"Young man, are you not giving me, Gao Yuan, face?" Gao Yuan's gaze hardened as he turned to stare at Lin Shuang.
Meanwhile, behind Gao Yuan, the group of guards already tensed up, reaching behind their waists—a move to draw their guns.
Lin Shuang sneered, "What are you worth for me to give you face?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the air suddenly fell silent.
The group of guards on-site was somewhat shocked.
This young man... was he truly unafraid of death? To speak to the Deputy City Lord like this?!
They were dealing with the second-in-command of Jiangnan!
Gao Yuan's eyes narrowed as he stared at Lin Shuang.
"Young man, you are audacious and have personality. But you have successfully angered me," Gao Yuan said, his gaze calm and profound as he slowly shook his head and snapped his fingers, "Take him down, under the charge of disturbing public order, arrest and sentence."
The Deputy City Lord had already made up his mind to kill; with a snap of his fingers, he could determine life and death.
The group of guards immediately rushed forward to apprehend Lin Shuang!
A word from the Deputy City Lord could invert right and wrong, turn a commoner into a prisoner, and make every institution and law in the whole of Jiangnan serve him!
This was the power of authority.
But just as the group of guards surged forward in an instant...
Lin Shuang's figure was even faster.
Lin Shuang instantaneously moved and kicked high!
"Bang... Bang... Bang!" A group of guards was directly kicked flying.
Bai Wangchuan took this opportunity to tremble as he got up and ran towards Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan.
Lin Shuang's gaze hardened, and his right hand threw the dagger fiercely!
"Thud!" The Ghost Crying Blade traced an arc mid-air, piercing harshly through Bai Wangchuan's neck!
The sharp dagger directly penetrated Bai Wangchuan's neck, shooting out from the back!
The dagger traced an arc in mid-air, flying back to Lin Shuang's hand.
"Ugh..." Bai Wangchuan trembled as he clasped his neck, his pupils showing shock and disbelief.
Blood, gushing continuously from the wound on Bai Wangchuan's neck, splattered onto the face of Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan...
"Bang!" Bai Wangchuan's body harshly fell to the ground, blood staining the ground beneath him.
Deputy City Lord Gao Yuan stood there, completely stunned, in disbelief!
