Urban Martial Saint

Old Lady Lin held an unrivaled position in the Lin family, none could match her. Even Lin Zhen Nan, the representative figure of the Lin family, had to remain utterly honest in front of her. When Old Lady Lin wasn't angry, all was well, but when she erupted, everyone was afraid.

Now, Old Lady Lin could no longer sit still, and the entire Lin family was even more furious, including Lin Zhen Nan, whose face turned slightly cold.

Deng Liyang hurriedly bent his waist toward Old Lady Lin and said, "Old Lady Lin, though it can't be put this way, the opinion of the Lin family does have an influence on solving the case in some aspects. After all, it was a member of the Lin family who was kidnapped, so we certainly have to consider the feelings of the Lin family. Besides, you yourself do not trust Ye Qing, do you?

Even you don't trust him, so we police, following the principles of solving cases, naturally had to investigate him!"

Old Lady Lin's complexion instantly became ashen. That afternoon, she had also acted in a moment of anger, and under the so-called evidence provided by Eldest Brother Lin, she went to trouble Ye Qing. She could never have imagined that it would be Ye Qing who ended up rescuing the person, and that he actually found them in those three places.

To be honest, had she known Ye Qing was capable of this, she would have never gone to trouble Ye Qing but would have immediately sent people to assist him in the rescue.

Seeing her daughter in such a state, she indeed regretted it to the point of gut-wrenching pain. Now that Deng Liyang had brought it up again, her regret intensified, and suddenly she found herself unable to speak a word.

Deng Liyang originally didn't want to mention this matter, as he always felt that Old Lady Lin was too arbitrary in her decisions within the Lin family, and this case was no exception. And with all the Lin family members, including Old Lady Lin, being so aggressive, he felt compelled to throw this topic into the discussion.

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking, Deng Liyang spoke in a solemn voice, "I have another question to ask, how exactly did Lin Tianhao come by those so-called pieces of evidence? He said he found them in Ye Qing's room, but now, it is Ye Qing who has rescued the person. I don't understand, who exactly is lying in the middle of this?

Moreover, it was your Lin family people who forced Ye Qing to climb over the wall and leave the police station, while we police only thought he was fleeing from the crime, which is why we wanted to capture him. If it weren't for the false evidence provided by Lin Tianhao, I think such a situation would not have occurred, would it?"

"Deng Liyang, stop mentioning this matter. The fact that your rescue was ineffective remains!" Lin Yaqing said angrily.

Deng Liyang ignored her and just quietly looked at Lin Zhen Nan.

Lin Zhen Nan let out a resigned sigh and said the truth was, he was very annoyed with these people from the Lin family this time. He had sent Ye Qing to rescue the person, but instead of helping Ye Qing, the Lin family members suspected him of colluding with the kidnappers. To be frank, Lin Yashi's plight also had an inseparable relation to the Lin family members!

Lin Zhen Nan looked at Director Deng and spoke in a deep voice, "Director Deng, I hope you can capture the gang leader and bring this case to a perfect conclusion!"

Director Deng took a long breath, knowing that Lin Zhen Nan's words meant he wouldn't pursue the responsibility of the municipal police anymore.

"President Lin, rest assured, we will do our utmost to capture the gangster, to give the Lin family an explanation, and to offer all the citizens of Shenchuan City a satisfactory response!" Director Deng expressed his position and after a brief pause, he said, "However, I would like to discuss a matter with you."

"What is it? Just say it," Lin Zhen Nan said.

Director Deng said, "Well, I would like to invite Mr. Ye to the police station as a consultant for once. I've realized that Mr. Ye Qing has some skills in criminal investigation that are worth learning. To catch this big international thief, it might require Mr. Ye Qing's help!"

Lin Zhen Nan said, "You'll have to ask him yourself about that, I've given him a few days off. After today's events, he's been working hard all day, I don't know if he'll have the time!"

"That's also fine, I'll personally pay him a visit later," Director Deng nodded, bowed his hands to everyone, and said, "In that case, I'll not disturb you any further. After Miss Lin wakes up, if it is convenient, we need her help with the investigation. So, when Miss Lin is available, please contact me!"

Director Deng turned and left, and the Lin family members watched him depart. Lin Yaqing finally couldn't help but spit out disdainfully, "What a joke! Praising that Ye to high heaven, he's just a bodyguard. People who don't know any better might think he's some kind of deity!"

Lin Zhen Nan gave her a look and frowned slightly. Those in the Lin family who looked down on Ye Qing were far too many, and it was precisely this kind of attitude that led to today's tragedy.

"I think this Mr. Ye may not be such a good person either!" Lin Fuyuan said with a furrowed brow, speaking in a grave tone, "As a bodyguard, he watched Yashi being kidnapped right before him, which is already considered dereliction of duty. Moreover, those photos found in his home are enough to prove there is a problem with him. We can't just take him for a good person because he saved Yashi.

Nowadays, there are too many cases of thieves crying 'stop thief.' Furthermore, their original target wasn't Yashi, but Hua Yu. So, I feel that Mr. Ye's rescue of Yashi is not as simple as we imagine it to be!"

"Exactly, exactly," Lin Yaqing nodded repeatedly and said, "I just don't believe he could be that miraculous. Just drawing three circles on a map, and finding the place where people are hidden? He must definitely have connections with these kidnappers, pretending to save people and then gaining our Lin family's trust, all the while he might be plotting some larger plan behind the scenes..."

Lin Yaqing glanced at Lin Zhen Nan and said in a grave tone, "The plan targeting Hua Yu!"

Lin Fuyuan also looked worriedly at Lin Zhen Nan and said, "Eldest Brother, this Mr. Ye has an unclear background and identity. Plus, he conducts himself so mysteriously. We must be cautious with this man!"

Finally, Lin Zhen Nan could no longer hold back and turned to glare at them, "Can't you focus on the important matters instead of always speculating about others? Ye Qing may be a man of few words, but he is upright and not a bad person. Moreover, he is quite capable in criminal investigations, so it's not surprising that he found Yaqing.

It's you who should stop judging a gentleman by the standards of a villain. What did Deng Liyang just say? If it weren't for our own Lin family's distrust in Ye Qing, he would have found the person sooner. How could it have gotten to this stage?"

The mouths of Lin Fuyuan and Lin Yaqing snapped shut as they still held considerable respect for their big brother.

Old Lady Lin tapped her cane angrily, her complexion ashen as she said indignantly, "You can paint a tiger's skin, but not its bones, you can know someone's face, but not their heart! Regardless, those photos found in Ye Qing's home are a fact. Yaqing, arrange for some private investigators to thoroughly investigate this Mr. Ye for me!"

Lin Yaqing was overjoyed, as these words from Old Lady Lin clearly indicated her support. With the Old Lady stepping in, even Lin Zhen Nan dared not say anything more.

"Mom, rest assured, I will arrange the best private investigators to investigate this Mr. Ye thoroughly," Lin Yaqing said with a smile.

Lin Zhen Nan glanced at the Old Lady, and although he felt uncomfortable inside, he eventually remained silent. Old Lady Lin was known for her stubbornness, and he couldn't change her views; saying more would only upset her.

After a busy day, having finally rescued the person, Ye Qing could finally take a deep breath. Leaving the police station with Zhao Chengshuang, and joined by Black Bear, the three of them called for some food at a roadside stall and could finally have a good meal.

"Ye Zi, I am thoroughly impressed with you!" Zhao Chengshuang said as he sat next to Ye Qing in his wheelchair, giving him a thumbs up, "You looked at He Ziqiang's file, then looked at the big map, drew three circles on it, and found the person? I've never heard of such a method before. Tell me, are you truly clairvoyant or what?"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Actually, in the military, when carrying out missions, we don't always have exact coordinates. Having a general idea of the area, one must analyze the terrain. Each unit has its own combat methods, so choosing a hiding place depends on its characteristics. Analyzing potential hideouts involves considering their previous combat methods and the unit's characteristics.

Then, combining it with a high-precision map to guess the enemy's hideout, we can be seventy percent successful."

The full series lives on My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L0EMPYR).

Zhao Chengshuang's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Damn, is this fighting a war or solving a math problem?"

Ye Qing explained, "Small-scale encounters are like this, and one must analyze a comprehensive variety of factors, such as psychological, geographical, local customs, and even the direction of the wind to ensure effective military results."

"If a small encounter is like that, wouldn't a large-scale campaign be utterly exhausting?" Zhao Chengshuang grimaced and said, "Being a soldier is too hard, I thought it was just about physical training."

Ye Qing replied, "It's not hard during peacetime, but once on the battlefield, your life could be lost at any moment!"

"That makes sense," Zhao Chengshuang nodded then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you say earlier that there was a ninety-five percent chance my aunt would be hiding in those three places?"

"On the battlefield, that seventy percent primarily accounts for various factors. For example, if the enemy is desperate and decides to fight to the death, they might take extreme actions, or elements like weather and physics could force a change in their strategy. But here in Shenchuan City, those concerns don't apply," Ye Qing said.

"He Ziqiang is dealing with the police, not the military, so he doesn't have to be too wary, and his actions would inevitably follow General Chacai's style. The five percent uncertainty mainly comes from my unfamiliarity with Shenchuan City and potential errors on the map, so I excluded those factors."

Zhao Chengshuang nodded, then looked at Ye Qing and said with an annoyed tone, "Damn, I really don't like hearing you say that. What do you mean 'only dealing with the police' and 'not needing to be too wary', are you implying that we're all incompetents?"

"Who the hell is that bumpkin, looking for trouble?" Suddenly, a cursing voice came from the end of the food stall.

Ye Qing and Zhao Chengshuang turned their heads to see Black Bear confronting seven or eight people.
