Without hesitation, Lu Yuan sidestepped the opponent's front kick, then gently raised his left hand to block the opponent's foot, and hooked his right foot forward sharply.

With a "thud," the strong man lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The burly man was furious and was about to get up to fight again when he saw Lu Yuan reach out to help him up.

"Brother, don't make things difficult for me. I'm really just a small-time captain. To be honest, I'm nothing in this Sector Five. You don't need to take it to heart!"

The burly man blocked Lu Yuan's hand, but he was extremely shocked.

"You dare fight back? Believe me or not, I'll shoot you dead!"

Lu Yuan quickly said, "No, no, no! I'm just a squad leader, don't get angry with me! If you want to talk to someone about this, talk to my superiors! They're the ones in charge!"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Tinghai suddenly raised his hand and said, "Alright, don't touch him yet! I have something to ask him!"

The burly man still looked displeased, his eyes flashing with a cold light. If Zhao Tinghai hadn't called him back just now, Lu Yuan might have been riddled with bullets by now.

Zhao Tinghai paced back and forth in front of Lu Yuan twice and said, "Since you say this matter has nothing to do with you, then tell me who is actually responsible behind this?"

Lu Yuan knew that the old man was trying to force him to reveal the name of the person in charge, so that he would be in a difficult position later. If word got out that a subordinate had betrayed his superior, he wouldn't be able to stay as captain for long.

However, Lu Yuan did not hesitate at all and said directly, "It's Minister Chen from the garrison! He asked me to get to the bottom of the case at the crossroads!"

Everyone was surprised when they heard Lu Yuan's answer. They didn't expect this kid to betray his superior so quickly, especially a minister who was several ranks above him. He had no backbone at all. This was too ridiculous!

Then Lu Yuan spoke up again, "Boss Ma, if you can't handle this yourself, you can give me the money, and I'll give it to Minister Chen. As long as he agrees, I'll definitely release him! What do you think?"

Zhao Tinghai was so angry he laughed: "You're pretty good at betraying your teammates, aren't you! That's your boss, you'd better think this through!"

Lu Yuan quickly replied, "I'm just a lowly captain. I just want to live. I wouldn't dare offend you!"

Zhao Tinghai finally sighed and said, "Slippery as an eel! Get lost! We'll talk about this later!"

No sooner had the old man finished speaking than the burly man beside him quickly interjected, "Old Yan, we can't just let this go like this! Yan Bing is still in his hands!"

"Alright! He's not in charge, he can't make this decision! Let him go!"

The strong man could only sigh and step aside.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to cause him any more trouble, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. However, before leaving, he added, "Well, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, although I can't release Yan Bing and Qi Heng, I will still take good care of them!"

Zhao Tinghai smiled and said, "Alright then, thank you!"

Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing! It was just something I did along the way!"

Then Lu Yuan quickly disappeared into the unfinished building.

Seeing Lu Yuan run faster than a rabbit, several people immediately surrounded Zhao Tinghai and said, "Old Zhao, isn't it too easy for this kid to just let him go like this? I think he's definitely hiding something!"

Zhao Tinghai shook his head, lit another cigarette, and said, "Heh! He wouldn't dare! It must be someone higher up backing him! We can't touch him yet!"

The burly man was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "You have connections? Then why are you so cowardly?"

"Heh! He's not a coward! He's too shrewd! If he were a coward, he would have wet his pants by now with this kind of situation! Didn't you see he's still perfectly fine? Before he left, he even said he would take good care of Yan Bing and the other guy! How can you say he's a coward?"

Upon hearing this, the burly man suddenly realized, "I knew it! But this kid's skills are extraordinary! Most people couldn't block that kick I just delivered, but he easily deflected it! Looks like he's got some skills!"

Yan Tinghai smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, you must remember that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Don't think you're already that great; there are plenty of people more capable than you! This is just the beginning!"

"Moreover, I feel that this matter really has nothing to do with him. It should be the fault of Minister Chen! He's just a subordinate who doesn't want to offend us, so he betrayed his superiors without thinking. He also knows that we wouldn't dare to touch Minister Chen!"

"Oh? Does that mean his relationship with Minister Chen isn't close enough for him to be willing to risk his life for him?"

"That's right! I feel this matter isn't as simple as we think! Let's all keep a low profile for a while! Be clean in our dealings! Don't leave any evidence against us! Even if Yan Bing and the other guy can't hold on, they won't be able to do anything to us!"

"yes!"

...

After leaving the unfinished building, Lu Yuan immediately went to Minister Chen's office.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to betray Minister Chen, but he was about to lose his life, so he had no other option. After all, it was Minister Chen who had asked him to do it. In fact, Lu Yuan only planned to arrest two henchmen to intimidate the team members, and at the time, it was to keep Hou Qiang in check.
