Chapter 129: Dealing With the Warrior Monks

“What are you….what is the meaning of this?!”

Yong Bao’s knee had been stepped on, but he had suffered an internal fracture, making movement difficult. He had not shared Yong He’s fate where his flesh and bones had been reduced to a viscous mess that caused him to suffer from blood loss and then faint.

Seeing the group of people, Yong Bao had been at an complete and utter less, especially since they were from the military. In his heart, there had been a panicked feeling.

“Carry them off, pronto! Tow the two cars away in five minutes, now now!” There was another person who had came out with Lin Yanan with rather ordinary facial appearances but thick eyebrows and big eyes. His physique was rather tall, but skinny, and his age couldn’t have been any older than thirty.

After dismounting from their car, the two officers swept around the area to survey it. Two monks, one injured, one dead. Two agents, one injured, one dead. Giving each other a look, they immediately showed signs of shock and amazement.

When they heard Lin Yanan’s order, the two officers quickly offered their support by ordering their soldiers to start the operation.

At the order, two soldiers immediately moved in on Yong Bao–one on each side. In a moment, they had lifted him up and stuffed him inside a car. There had been no sign of resistance at all in Yong Bao.

Afterwards, Yong He and the agent Ah Ming were placed in two giant body bags while the still alive American agent was placed in the other car with Yong Bao. Accompanying her were two soldiers with the red cross, and in a moment they took out a first aid kit and began to treat the two of them.

“Preferential treatment of a captive, they are quite disciplined.” Wang Chao was still sitting in the middle of the road. After resting up for half an hour, he had recovered about half his strength. Thinking back to the battle half an hour ago, he was shocked to his core with some fear still lingering in him.

Two special agent gunners and two monks from the Shaolin Temple working together. This type of strength was something that according to logic, no one should be able to escape from. An expert with a gun wasn’t something even an Immortal could defend themselves against. But he had been able to resolve the issue by himself.

“If something like this happens again, would the outcome be the same as this one? Being shot to death or seriously injured is very likely!”

Wang Chao let out a sigh as he realized something.

This was an actual display of combat that was not as pure as a fight on the elevated stage would be, but it was far more dangerous than one. Within a fight on the stage, there would at the very least be no guns involved.

“It appears I must continue to practice some maneuvers that could save my life later. When I get back, I should have Boulder and the others try shooting me to see if I can dodge them. I must get comfortable with this, become proficient in dodging, and master it! Only by then I will be able to guarantee my life in the future battles. But death isn’t the scary part, it’s being captured by the Americans. Not being able to die when one wishes, that would be far too miserable.”

Thinking back to his battle, if he was shot in the middle of it and lost his strength, he would have been captured. Just how would his life end up then?

Wang Chao had made up his mind. When he returned, he would definitely have Boulder and the others try to shoot him. By tempered by life or death would surely help him learn a genuine way of dodging bullets!

“Hello, lieutenant commander Wang Chao!” The two young officers quickly finished up their task before walking up to him and giving Wang Chao a nod and handshake.

Wang Chao shook both of their hands with some confusion, “Since when did I earn a military rank? It couldn’t have been too long ago. But their eyes towards me is strange, why are they shocked? Then again, I just finished off two special agents with guns and two warrior monks from the Shaolin Temple. Such a conclusion like this is something even I find a little bit incredible.”

“On the car now then! We can explain when we get there. Nothing happens much in Hong Kong, so if this were to get out, the entire world would know. We should leave now.”

Wang Chao nodded his head. As he looked at Lin Yanan, he noticed that there was a strip of gauze around her hand. But there had been no blood, and she seemed to be operating with ease, meaning she wasn’t injured too badly.

Seeing Wang Chao’s inquiring glance, Lin Yanan laughed, “I’m fine. A bullet grazed by my skin earlier and bled some blood, but nothing major.”

As soon as they boarded the car, it immediately set out to leave the mountain path.

“Lieutenant colonel Wang, did you finish off all four of them by yourself?” As the car traveled, the thick eyebrowed and big eyed young officer in the driver’s seat couldn’t help but ask.

“En, that male and female duo were special agents with an accurate aim. I nearly died.” Wang Chao smiled.

“What happened to the throat of that man, it’s definitely not a gunshot. Even the legs of those two monks weren’t caused by it. Could it be that your bare hands could do something so amazing like this?” The other scrawny officer couldn’t help but ask.

“I used my Eagle Claw to tear away his throat.” Wang Chao nodded, but his voice had a slight bloodthirsty tone to it.

After Wang Chao spoke, the two officers looked down to where his arms were. On his arm was blood, causing the officers to shake for a moment before turning their heads and not knowing what else to think.

In a flash, the car quickly traveled to the Hong Kong branch of the army.

When Wang Chao got off the car, Lin Yanan had prepared a room for him to first shower, change his clothes, and drink some water. After resting for another two or three minutes, he had finally found himself feeling refreshed, not fatigued, and all around exuberant in energy.

Just at that moment, Lin Yanan came walking in.

“What’s wrong?”

“After an hour of interrogation, we finally have our information. The agent you killed and the American woman are both spies. Their mission is to secretly capture the both of us back to America.” Lin Yanan replied.

“Then the Shaolin monks?”

“Yong He and Yong Bao are both truly warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple. There is no mistake, and they are not fakes.” Lin Yanan narrowed her eyes. “Yong Bao has already said, the male agent is called Li Ming, a disciple who trained in the American Shaolin Temple ten years ago. Later on the two became acquainted with each other so this time, Li Ming sought out Yong He and hatched a plan to capture us.”

“Then does this mean that this was a stand alone mission, and not one from the Shaolin Temple?” Wang Chao asked.

“It seems so. The abbot Shi Yongxin is a very shrewd man. Even if he thought us to be spies, he would be very careful. The Shaolin Temple has their warrior monks, and working with the economy is on different thing. There is a huge difference between the two.”

“What should we do now?”

“This time you’ve really done well. The American spies have always been very sly like foxes. But this time we’ve managed in capturing an alive one, we’ll be able to earn many secrets now. If we report to the higher ups, then we’ll definitely be awarded and promoted again. “ Lin Yanan’s eyebrows were still raised high on her face as she sighed, “But I still find it hard to believe, you were able to defeat four people by yourself? Back when I ran first, I felt that I really let you down. With your movements, you should have run first while I moved to block them. Although I am from the military, I did not handle it as calmly as I should have. In the future, I will work hard to improve and uphold my responsibility.”

Wang Chao shook his head, “I was the one who told you to run first. Furthermore, you didn’t even have a gun, so blocking them would have been futile. Ah right, are you done with the investigation with the American woman? Or have you figured out just what American organization she’s a spy from? But then again, interrogating information out from a spy must be quite hard. Still, what will we do with Yong Bao?”

“The American spy will take some time to interrogate. That Yong Bao however isn’t any regular monk in the Shaolin Temple. His status is high, and so is his seniority, making it hard to do. This is Hong Kong after all, we have to consult with the police leader of Hong Kong for his idea first.”

“I wish to rest for two hours, you should go inquire on what they want then.” Wang Chao asked.

“We’ve already done so.” Lin Yanan replied. “They don’t wish to make this a big deal, so their suggestion is to communicate with the higher ups of the Shaolin Temple. But they cannot come bring him back.”

“So we are to lock up Yong Bao?” Wang Chao nodded in understanding, after all, it was Yong Bao that committed a crime.

“We won’t. Instead, the Shaolin Temple will be able to bring him back on a few conditions.” Lin Yanan slowly answered.

“What conditions?”

Suddenly, a knock on the door could be heard as Wang Chao asked his question.

“Come in.” Lin Yanan hurriedly spoke out.

As the door opened, a middle aged man dressed in plain clothes walked in along with two of the earlier youths right behind him.

“This is political commissar Yang of the Hong Kong station.” Lin Yanan introduced.

“So he’s one of us?” Wang Chao immediately stood up to shake his hand before realizing in his head, “This political commissar Yang, he has to be the same as Cao Yi. A person from the organization, just like us.”

“The Shaolin Temple has many disciplines, from in and out of the country. The public safety bureau holds many governmental positions with an equally high power, at the top.” Commissar Yang sat down and spoke out what Wang Chao had been thinking, “This time with the matter of the monk from the Shaolin Temple, although we managed to capture someone, we’ve also managed to burn our hands while picking at the sweet potatoes. I came here today to discuss with you to see how we should deal with Yong Bao and Yong He.”

“How to deal with them?” Wang Chao was confused.

“You must know, we belong to the military commission of the Communist Party of the Central Committee. It is different from the national security and public security systems. To use words to compare, we are the 110. They are in charge of overseeing the army in the cities. We are the prosecutors, they are the court.” Commissar Yang spoke.
