"Okay."

Seeing Qin Yang speak, although not knowing how Qin Yang would handle things, Xu Xinghan still nodded.

After Xu Xinghan and the others left, Qin Yang's gaze turned to Shen Xingmai.

"Director Shen, here is my certificate, please take a look."

With a flip of his right hand, the certificate from the Special Security Department appeared in Qin Yang's hand, which he handed over to Shen Xingmai.

"Alright."

Hearing this, Shen Xingmai's expression turned serious.

Although he had seen Qin Yang's certificate before, he still took it and glanced at it. This type of certificate records each use.

Qin Yang's presentation of the certificate clearly signaled an official business stance.

After reviewing the certificate, Shen Xingmai returned it to Qin Yang.

"Director Shen, the matters within the hall are under our jurisdiction now. Please station several armed police officers at the entrance; nobody is allowed to enter. Our personnel will take over shortly, and others can disperse."

Qin Yang looked at Shen Xingmai and said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xingmai's expression became stern; indeed, something unusual was happening here.

"Yes, Major, our local police will certainly cooperate."

Shen Xingmai nodded and agreed.

The Special Security Department is an independent special agency, and once a certificate is presented, local governments must cooperate.

Additionally, it's beneficial for Shen Xingmai that the Special Security Department is taking over the matter, as he wouldn't have to bear any responsibility.

Otherwise, so many entrepreneurs reporting attacks wouldn't be a trivial issue.

"Huang Wenlong, take five special police officers and guard the entrance. Don't allow anyone to enter, and have the rest return."

Shen Xingmai instructed.

"Yes, Director."

Huang Wenlong nodded in response.

After Shen Xingmai finished speaking, Huang Wenlong went to carry out the order. Only one special police vehicle remained on-site, and the rest of the officers returned in their vehicles.

Seeing this, Qin Yang nodded briefly, then took out his phone and dialed a number for Elder Qiao.

"Hello, Old Qiao."

The call was picked up after just a couple of rings.

"Is that you, Qin Yang? Have you gotten me into trouble again?"

Elder Qiao's voice came from the other end; he had just finished his meal at this hour. Seeing Qin Yang's call, his brow instinctively twitched.

"It's nothing major, just killed a few Japanese ninjas."

Qin Yang said casually.

"What happened? You've found some Japanese ninjas again?"

On the other end, Elder Qiao exhaled slightly, then asked.

If it's dead Japanese ninjas, that's tolerable. Many ninjas are involved in intelligence gathering in Huaxia, and even if not, they're likely up to no good.

"Yes, it was at the Jiangnan Hotel in Jiangnan City. There were two Earth-level ninjas and two Human-level ninjas who attacked Xu Xinghan. I happened to encounter them, killed two Human-level ninjas and one Earth-level ninja, and one got away. Please send someone to handle it."

Qin Yang explained.

"Attacked Xu Xinghan? What exactly happened?"

Elder Qiao was taken aback and asked, clearly familiar with Xu Xinghan.

"I don't know the specifics either. Please send someone to handle it and collect the corpses of those three Japanese."

Qin Yang said.

After hanging up, Qin Yang headed towards the stretch limousine that Xu Xinghan and his group were in.

On the other line, Elder Qiao chuckled wryly. This kid, I've become his designated cleaner. However, those Japanese are shameless, daring to attack a renowned Huaxia entrepreneur on Huaxia soil.

After getting in the stretch limousine, the car merged onto the highway.

Half an hour later, the Lincoln entered a large estate. Although the estate was still within city limits, it was quite close to the outskirts.

At present, on either side of the stone paths within the estate, lights were bright, illuminating a clear dark lake and meticulously trimmed flora.

The estate appeared quite picturesque under the night sky.

The car stopped directly in front of the luxurious main villa in the center of the estate, and under Xu Xinghan's guidance, Qin Yang entered the villa.

Upon entering, a butler in a tailcoat came forward to attend to them.

Qin Yang changed into a pair of soft slippers, glanced around, and saw that the villa's hall was opulently decorated.

A massive crystal chandelier, soft sofas, white ceilings and walls, a redwood coffee table, and some large porcelain vases contributed to a harmonious blend of Chinese and European styles.

By a floor-to-ceiling window in the hall, stood an elderly man with graying hair. He was dressed in a white robe and was lying quietly on a rocking chair with his eyes closed.

A small round redwood tea table with a gentle tea aroma rising from it stood in front of the elderly man, facing the dark lake outside the window.

After Qin Yang and his company entered the hall, the elderly man slowly opened his eyes and then stood up from the rocking chair.

"Mr. Xu, you're back."

The old man in the white robe stood up, looked at Xu Xinghan and the others, and said.

"Elder Xuanchen."

Xu Xinghan looked at the old man with a hint of respect in his tone.

"Grandpa Xuanchen."

Xu Mengjie called out sweetly with a smile.

"Ah, you came back too, young lady."

The white-robed old man smiled, his old eyes reflecting a fondness for Xu Mengjie.

"Elder."

Yun Duo and Yun Ao greeted respectfully at the side.

The white-robed old man nodded at the two of them and then turned his gaze to Qin Yang, slightly raising his eyebrows.

"And this is...?"

The white-robed old man looked over with curiosity.

"Elder Xuanchen, allow me to introduce—this is Young Master Qin, Qin Yang, a friend of Meng Meng's who also saved my daughter and me today."

Xu Xinghan gestured with his right hand, palm open, at Qin Yang as he introduced him.

"Young Master Qin, this is Elder Shangguan Xuanchen, who is responsible for my protection."

Xu Xinghan spoke frankly to Qin Yang, hiding nothing.

"Shangguan?"

Qin Yang's gaze sharpened as he focused on the white-robed old man, noticing with his cultivator's keen sense that the old man had a deep reservoir of True Essence Power, at least at the third level of the Innate Realm.

"Could this old man with the Shangguan surname be from an ancient family like the Nangong clan Zilan belongs to?"

Qin Yang speculated internally.

If so, then it's plausible that Yun Duo and Yun Ao might also be part of the Shangguan family.

The fact that they reached the Great Perfection of the Celestial Tier in their early twenties wouldn't be surprising, indicating that even on this small Earth, hidden talents abound.

As Qin Yang assessed Shangguan Xuanchen, Shangguan Xuanchen's deep, aged eyes also scrutinized Qin Yang.

Despite not sensing any Inner Power fluctuations from Qin Yang, the young man gave off an extraordinary impression.

Moreover, considering Xu Xinghan's status in the mortal realm, addressing a young man with "Young Master" suggested extraordinary traits.

"Mr. Xu, you mentioned he saved you? Did those Japanese act again tonight?"

Shangguan Xuanchen asked.

"Yes."

Xu Xinghan's face darkened, and he nodded.

At this point, Yun Ao stepped forward, leaned over, and narrated the events to the elder in a low voice.
