Chapter 160: Chapter 56 Strong-arm
Ming Hui knew it was over as soon as he received the communication from the bar.
After what had happened last night, he knew that one billion Federation dollars had gone up in smoke.
Because of Xu Mo, Noah Academy would no longer be influenced by his Ming Group.
Therefore, he had Ming Yu leave the academy, but didn’t share too many details.
To his unexpected surprise, they confronted Xu Mo once again, just one night later.
And this time, it was Ming Yu who wanted to kill Xu Mo.
As he rushed to the scene, he had been trying to reach Ming Yu, but Ming Yu wasn’t picking up.
At this moment, Ming Yu had witnessed four people being murdered, and his body was slightly trembling.
Ming Yu became afraid.
“Boom…”
He stepped on the gas, and the sports car roared into action; Ming Yu wanted to escape.
Xu Mo, who was examining Lin Xi’s wounds, saw Ming Yu attempting to flee and sprinted towards him.

The sports car let out a roaring sound as it peeled out of the bar toward the distance.
But just as the vehicle was accelerating, there was a loud explosion—Su Rou fired at the sports car, hitting it directly. The car slid sideways and crashed into the side.
Su Rou kept firing at the sports car, completely wrecking it. The energy cannon even penetrated through the interior of the car; Ming Yu was lying down, with the terrifying energy passing over his head.
Su Rou had been quiet the whole time, but now she was extremely violent, with a murderous look in her eyes.
It had been very dangerous just now. Those four underground assassins had extremely powerful weapons. If it weren’t for Benjamin, Xu Mo, and Lin Xi being strong enough to hold off the attackers, they could have met a grim fate here, possibly dying on the spot—and she felt a surge of fear.
Ming Yu still thinking of running under these circumstances?
Su Rou was set to keep firing, but she saw Xu Mo approaching.
Inside the car, Ming Yu’s body wouldn’t stop shaking.
Glancing at the communicator, Ming Yu picked up.
“Ming Yu, what the hell are you doing?” Ming Hui cursed angrily.
“Brother, Xu Mo and his people are trying to kill me. Save me!” Ming Yu screamed frantically inside the car.
Xu Mo walked up to the car and pulled the door open, standing in front of the window.
Ming Yu was startled, looking at Xu Mo holding a knife.
“Xu Mo, you dare commit murder in broad daylight?” Ming Yu bellowed, seemingly trying to embolden himself.
“Puchi!” Xu Mo’s War Saber pierced directly through Ming Yu’s neck, then he pulled it out.
Blood flowed out, and Ming Yu’s body trembled uncontrollably, his eyes desperate.
How dare he kill him?
In the distance, many people witnessed this scene and recorded it.
Murder in broad daylight, so ruthless.
Who was this person?
At that time, many vehicles roared in from afar, stopping right there.
They were cars from the Security Bureau.
One by one, people got out of the cars, raising their guns towards Xu Mo.
The leader saw Ming Yu in the car.
Truly ruthless.
He murdered the Ming Group’s second Young Master on the street.
He had never seen anyone so vicious.
“Put down your weapons,” a chorus of voices rang out; Xu Mo threw away the War Saber.
There was no need to clash head-on with the Security Bureau people.
He turned to look the other way and saw Su Rou and the others walking over to stand with Xu Mo, staring at the Security Bureau people.
Xu Mo would have taken them out if he hadn’t.
Ye Qingdie and Elsa were supporting Lin Xi, and quickly bandaged her wounds.
“Xu Mo, Sister Xi needs to go to the hospital,” Ye Qingdie said.
“Xiao Xiao, ask if your dad is nearly here,” Xu Mo spoke.
“Alright,” Sun Xiaoxiao contacted her father, and then said, “He’ll be here shortly.”
The Security Bureau agents approached and checked Ming Yu, who had already stopped breathing. The leading officer ordered, “Take him into custody.”
Some people walked towards Xu Mo.
Benjamin and Su Rou stood to the left and right, staring at those coming their way.
The Security Bureau agents were somewhat troubled.
These people, dressed in academy uniforms, dared to murder Ming Yu in the streets; they must be no ordinary individuals.
Benjamin stepped forward to negotiate with the leading officer, immediately causing the officer’s already grim expression to darken as he said, “Regardless of who you are, street murder means a trip to the Security Bureau for an investigation.”
From the sky, a flying device arrived, and then landed in an open space below.
Sun Pudge jumped down and called out, “Xiao Xiao!”
“Take Sister Xi to the hospital first,” Xu Mo instructed Ye Qingdie and Elsa.
“Okay,” they nodded and assisted Lin Xi towards the flying device.
Ye Qingdie, Elsa, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Jian boarded with Lin Xi, while the rest stayed behind.
Sun Pudge swept a glance at the Security Bureau agents and said, “Don’t bring trouble upon yourselves.”
With that, he boarded the flying device and took Lin Xi away first.
The head of the Security Bureau turned and left, silently contacting the chief of the local bureau.
He had to ask for instructions.
Affairs here were beyond his level.
Soon, he returned and said to Xu Mo and the others, “Put down your weapons and come back with us for the investigation. Even as students of the Extraordinary Academy, you don’t have the privilege to commit crimes.”
Xu Mo and his group eyed the advancing figures.
“We acted in self-defense,” Su Rou said. “We’re the victims here.”
“The Security Bureau will certainly clarify that,” the other side responded.
Just as the Security Bureau agents were about to start handcuffing people, a bright light shone over, hurting everyone’s eyes.
The Security Bureau agents shifted their gaze to look behind them, shielding their eyes with their hands.
Military vehicles drove up, circling the area.
People disembarked from the vehicles, weapons at the ready. One of them approached and said, “We heard there are rioters here, we’re taking charge now.”
“We from the Security Bureau are handling this, it’s not needed,” the Security Bureau leader said.
The military personnel stepped forward and encircled the Security Bureau officers.
The Security Bureau personnel’s expressions turned extremely ugly.
In Steel Dome City.
The Security Bureau, in charge of law enforcement, was clearly no match for the military.
Not even close.
In the distance, many figures surrounded the bar.
They all looked in this direction.
A shootout outside the bar, murder in the streets, a conflict between the Security Bureau and the military.
What was going on?
They felt that two powerful forces were wrestling with each other.
The person who died is said to be the second Young Master of the Ming Group.
Who would be so crazy?
Ming Hui had arrived.
He sat in the car without getting out, but instead dialed his father’s communicator number.
“I already know about the incident,” a weary, old voice came through the communicator.
“What should I do?” Ming Hui had been suppressing his emotions all along.
No matter how Ming Yu was perceived on the outside, he was definitely a qualified brother, not vying for power, just living a dissolute life.
Now, his brother had been killed.
“I’ve already sent the media over, there’s no other option, I will request assistance from the company,” the voice from the communicator continued.
Ming Hui fell silent for a moment before responding, “Understood.”
Both father and son knew that the Ming Group was hanging by a thread.
This time was different from yesterday.
Yesterday was due to Lin Xi’s incident and didn’t escalate publicly.
But this time, Ming Yu tried to kill a group from the Extraordinary Academy.
With Ming Yu killed, the Security Bureau intervened.
Their Ming Group couldn’t wash their hands of it.
Now, they could only fight with their backs against the wall.
After hanging up the communicator, Ming Hui got out of the car and walked towards the crowd.
He didn’t bring anyone with him, he was alone.
Ming Hui walked up to Ming Yu’s car, crouched down, and carried his brother’s body out from the car. He didn’t even glance at Xu Mo.
“Is that Ming Hui?”
“Yes, the heir of the Ming Group.”
From a distance, many people looked towards Ming Hui and felt a sense of sorrow.
His brother had been killed.
“Click, click…”
Lights flashed, as many reporters rushed in, taking fierce shots of Ming Hui and the scene.
“Young Master Ming, who is the murderer, and what was the animosity between Ming Yu and the killer?” the reporters chased after Ming Hui and asked.
Ming Hui paused, then said, “Whoever the killer is, I believe they will be punished by the law.”
Having said that, he continued walking away, carrying Ming Yu’s body to the car.
The vehicle started and drove away from the scene.
The reporters ran towards the military and Security Bureau personnel, and some headed towards Xu Mo and the others.
“Are you students of the Extraordinary Academy, how did you come into conflict with Ming Yu?”
“Why are your methods so cruel, killing people in the street?”
“Is the military interfering with the law enforcement of the Security Bureau? What is the background of the murderer?”
Su Rou frowned.
The reporters’ words carried a strong bias, and it seemed they were prepared.
She knew they were probably sent by the Ming Group.
Under normal circumstances, very few reporters would dare to step forward.
Things were getting troublesome.
This was meant to blow the incident wide open.
Ming Yu had sent people to kill them in the street, seriously injuring Lin Xi. If it weren’t for their strength, they might have fallen today.
In this situation, they were merely fighting back; there was no problem with that.
But the other side seized on the point that Xu Mo had publicly committed a crime, as if the nature of the event had completely changed, making it seem like Xu Mo was an unforgivable criminal, with no one acknowledging that they were almost killed by an assassin just moments ago.
Su Rou stepped forward and responded, “No matter our background, when our lives are threatened and a companion is shot and seriously injured, should we not fight back?”
“The Security Bureau has already arrived. Are you replacing the Security Bureau in law enforcement?” the reporter retorted, “What is the reason for the military’s presence, obstructing the Security Bureau’s enforcement?”
Benjamin suddenly stepped forward and kicked the reporter, sending them flying.
“Bang.” The reporter fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The other reporters backed away, watching Benjamin.
“I hope you take your profession seriously. If it is found that you were instigated by others, you will bear the consequences,” Benjamin said coldly to the interviewing reporters.
Raised in the military, he possessed the tough lineage of the armed forces.
Benjamin’s gaze turned to the Security Bureau personnel as he continued, “I advise you to investigate this bar and the Ming Group.”
“Let’s go.”
Having said that, he turned around and left.
“These people have questionable intentions, let’s leave,” Su Rou said to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo nodded, understanding the implication from Benjamin and Su Rou.
He had heard the communication from those Security Bureau officials earlier; they were from the Ming Group.
In that case, there was no need to go with them.
The leader of the Security Bureau looked displeased, but with the military people around, they didn’t dare to make any rash moves.
Xu Mo and the others got into the car, and the military personnel began to withdraw, the vehicles leaving the scene.
The Security Bureau also retreated.
The outcome wasn’t too bad; at least they weren’t responsible.
But the crowd in the distance had not dispersed, and discussions were rife.
They were discussing who these people really were.
Did they have military backing?
Indeed quite forceful.
To kill someone in the street and boldly take them away.
Noah Academy.
Lin Qingze sat in his office, quickly becoming aware of the ins and outs of the incident.
The Ming Group had sent assassins for two consecutive days.
Causing trouble, huh!
Lin Qingze took out his communicator and contacted quite a few people.
He knew someone was protecting the Ming Group.
But this time, the Ming Group dared to take a direct hit at the academy. Regardless, they could not be allowed to continue.
After all this, Lin Qingze dialed Xu Mo’s number.
“Dean Lin,” Xu Mo’s voice came through.
“Are you alright?” Lin Qingze asked.
“Yes, I’m on my way back to the academy with an escort,” Xu Mo replied.
“Good,” Lin Qingze nodded, “You don’t have to worry about this matter, just let the academy handle it; come back first.”
“Thank you, Dean Lin,” Xu Mo replied.
After hanging up the phone, the ordinarily indolent look in Lin Qingze’s eyes suddenly sharpened!
