Tang Wulin and the white-haired girl’s expression suddenly changed. They shifted their gazes toward the café’s entrance.
“Pa!” The café’s door was heavily pushed open. A dozen beam assault rifle-bearing soldiers clad in military uniform charged into the café. They aimed their rifles at the customers in the café. Surprised screams filled the café for some time.
Tang Wulin slightly squinted his eyes, his gaze was still slightly dull.
From the looks of the attire and equipment of these soldiers, they were certainly from the army. ‘Why had the army suddenly appeared here? Could they be here for Sister Mo Lan?’
Of course, a dozen soldiers showing up was nothing difficult to handle. However, this was the Mingdu City. The most elite army was stationed here. If a problem arose, it most probably was something big. No matter how powerful he was as an individual, it would not be easy for him to rescue Sister Mo Lan if the army was set on dealing with her.
“We’re here on official army business. Everyone hold your heads down and don’t move. Commence search for the suspect.”
The café was not big, to begin with. When a dozen soldiers charged in, they had basically filled up the whole shop. Tang Wulin stared at the people before him with a sleepy expression and dull gaze.
Various thoughts suddenly crossed his mind. ‘Could it be an information leak from Tang Sect? Ji Qi’s side? Or maybe someone from sister Mo Lan’s side?’
“Stop!” At this very moment, Mo Lan suddenly shouted. She stopped the soldiers who were about to search the customers.
Her eyes were filled with anger. “Which department are you from? Who gave you the permission to search for a suspect in broad daylight? Where’s your warrant? Let me see it. Where is it?”
Tang Wulin was standing beside Mo Lan. He was shocked to notice how this big sister of his was remarkably different from before. The old her was fearless. She was even willing to sacrifice herself to protect the passengers. However, she definitely did not have this imposing manner back then. Her aura alone could even intimidate him.
The soldiers who were prepared to start their operation ceased when heard her voice. Tang Wulin seemingly stood beside Mo Lan without hesitation. He shielded her from the beam assault rifles that were aimed at her.
“Which department we’re from? Who’re you to ask that?” A second lieutenant coldly said, “Search them. We cannot afford to let the suspect get away.”
Mo Lan grunted angrily. “Who dares?! Is the military this ruthless? You get your salary from the federation and enjoy the share of the people. You’re not given these privileges so that you can lord over the people and make a fortune from it. I would love to see who’s daring enough to act rashly today. Xiao Bai, call the police and inform them of the situation here. Wulin, disarm them and don’t let any one of them get away. If the army is unable to give us an explanation, I won’t let this issue go.”
Mo Lan’s imposing manner made the officer’s expression change. If he had thought that Mo Lan only appeared tough outwardly but was timid inwardly before, now he had no such thoughts in his mind. If she was like that there was no way for her to be so domineering.
“Nobody move!” He angrily shouted with haste. He must control the situation first.
However, Tang Wulin had already started moving. Just like how he controlled the few delinquents yesterday, he only took a light step with his right foot on the ground. He sent Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth’s attacking power with his extremely powerful spiritual power to the feet of the dozen soldiers with absolute precision.
The leading second lieutenant’s voice abruptly stopped. In the next moment, Tang Wulin made a circle with his arms. A dozen soldiers were pulled together by Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon as they sat on the café’s floor.
Tang Wulin walked over and slowly confiscated their beam assault rifles. Then, he smacked each one of them in turns to seal their bloodlines.
When he had completed this process, the white-haired girl whom Mo Lan addressed as Xiao Bao had not even got enough time to dial the number.
Mo Lan had known that Tang Wulin was strong. Back then, it was precisely because of Tang Wulin’s actions that the entire car of passengers was saved. He had even become the current Shrek Seven Monsters captain. However, Mo Lan never thought that the current Tang Wulin was already this powerful.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin’s face. He turned around and nodded towards Mo Lan.
Xiao Bai had already dialed the number. It was only now that Mo Lan told to the customers within the café. “Everyone, there’s no need to panic. Please be patient for a while. I’m Mo Lan, a member of the federal parliament. I guarantee everyone that you’re safe. I’ll make sure that the army gives an explanation with regard to the unjust treatment the army just gave you. I apologize to everyone here on behalf of the federation,” as she said this, Mo Lan bowed towards the people of her own accord.
“Mo Lan?” When they heard this name the frightened customers in the café instantly calmed down. Some of them even started discussing. It was clear that they had heard Mo Lan’s name before.
Mo Lan had comforted the customers and Xiao Bai had ended her call.
At this moment, the low sound of an explosion came from the outside. With Tang Wulin’s understanding of current weapons, he could recognize that this was the sound made by a landing mecha.
After the entire process just now, the first thing Tang Wulin could be sure of was that these soldiers were not here for sister Mo Lan. Otherwise, they would not be intimidated by her. If they were not here for sister Mo Lan, who were they after? He had taken a look just now. Other than Xiao Bai and himself, there was no other soul master present.
Could it be that they were here for him?
A voice came from outside. “Attention to the people inside, we suspect that there’s a wanted criminal among you. We ask that you come out with your hands above your heads. You have thirty seconds. If nobody comes out after thirty seconds, our mechas will begin their attacks. To avoid being caught in the crossfire. Please come out with your hands above your heads immediately.”
Mo Lan started laughing from her extreme anger. “Good, very good! I’d like to see who’s the who dares to mobilize the army for such activities. I’ll go out first.”
She strode outside as she said this.
Xiao Bai dared not slack off. She hastily followed her out of the café. Mo Lan was only an ordinary person, if she was hit by a mecha’s attack, there was no way that she would be safe. Before she went out, she glared at Tang Wulin. If it were not for this fellow sister Mo Lan would not have been exposed to such a dangerous situation.
However, she could not help but be stunned when she glared at Tang Wulin. Before this, she had always been at the side and she had not seen Tang Wulin’s face from the front after he removed his cap. Only now did she get a clear look at his face.
‘Why’s this fellow this good looking?’ Even as a female, Xiao Bai could not help but feel envious of him. ‘Why’s this man so handsome?’
Tang Wulin naturally walked at Mo Lan’s side. He walked out of the café with her.
They exited the café. Four mechas were already pointing their weapons at the café’s door. Two of them were yellow mechas while the other two were surprisingly purple mechas.
“Hands above your heads!” A rude voice came from the mecha.
However, Mo Lan was unperturbed and fearless. She angrily shouted, “Mechas are the army’s important tools. Should they be used by you to threaten the people? I will impeach all of you in the parliament for this. Xiao Bai, remember their mecha’s serial numbers.”
Every military mecha had their own serial number. This was to facilitate the army to manage them.
“Hands above your heads, do you hear me?” A mecha master’s position was not something that could be compared to ordinary soldiers. Clearly, these mecha masters were not intimidated by Mo Lan.
A deafening police siren sounded on the streets at this very moment. They were long and unbroken as they came towards their direction.
The police had come?
Sitting within the purple mecha, Tang Zihao’s expression slightly changed. Although the army was not afraid of the police and even had a higher position, this was still Mingdu City. According to federal law, security within the city was the responsibility of the police. They had been ordered to capture a person today. If they had done it swiftly, naturally there would not be any problem. However, if they had to face the police, although their superiors were unafraid they would be faced with some troubles. The more important thing was, they had not captured the person whom they had to.
