Chapter 188: The Stakes Are High

the opportunity to rise to prominence."Do you mean the Black Mountain Carving has something to do with the Zheng family" Ling Hao asked again."I'm not sure yet!" Lu Yue responded, "But things are too...An array can be represented as a list of items.

Whew!

Mu Yatian let out a foul breath, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

Ling Hao found this question truly difficult to answer!

He was able to reach the position of top responsible person in the war department, besides his illustrious military achievements, it is obviously based on his magnanimous and upright character.

Given his personality, if he were truly in Ling Hao's position now, knowing that there was something dirty behind the scenes, he would absolutely not ignore it.

"Didn't Mu Shuai just ask me about my intentions" Ling Hao continued after taking a sip of tea.

"If I had to compromise that position and ignore the Shadow Gate Case, then I can confidently tell you, I'm not interested!"

"Master Xi Wang, today, this old man offers you a cup of tea in place of wine!" Mu Yantian stood up and looked at Ling Hao: "When the day comes that you bring closure to the Shadow Gate case, this old man will personally bring strong liquor to toast you three cups!"

After finishing his words, he raised both hands to his cup and drank it all in one gulp!

"Xie Mu Shuai!" Ling Hao also stood up, bowed respectfully, and then raised his teacup with both hands to drink it down.

Three minutes later, Mu Yaodai's figure reappeared in the courtyard square, and Ling Hao saw him off.

As they neared the courtyard entrance, Mu Yantian turned his head to look at Ling Hao and said in a deep voice.

"West King, the vast and clear sky, right and wrong are known to all hearts. Go forth and do as you please!"

"As long as I am in this position, I will ensure you receive justice!"

After finishing, he strode toward the door.

"Thank you, Mu Shuai!" Ling Hao bowed slightly.

"Farewell to Master Mu!" the young men from Yingmen shouted in unison.

"Big brother, can we depart now" After Mu Yantian left, the Judge asked.

"Mm!" Ling Hao nodded and looked at Ye Ji, "Just the few of us should go. Tell the brothers below to stand by."

"Got it!" Yejiji nodded in response.

The Chu family's manor house is located in the south of the capital city, built on a mountain. It covers an area of 100,000 square meters with beautiful scenery and excellent feng shui.

An hour later, the off-road vehicle stopped at the gate of a mansion. Above the gate, two large characters, "Chu Residence," were carved in elegant script with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes.

Beneath the archway is a fence, and behind the fence is a tree-lined avenue about a kilometer long, leading straight to Chu's mansion.

According to the regulations of the Chu Mansion, all visitors must get off their vehicles here and walk into the mansion.

"Who visits" Eight men in black stood at the entrance, their expressions tense and their aura fierce, warriors!

It was obvious that the Chu Residence knew that Ling Hao and his party were coming, as the guards at the gate had already been replaced.

"The Shadow Gate is here to apprehend a level S criminal, please cooperate!" Zhou Liang, the driver, pushed open the door and responded loudly.

"Poppycock!" one of the men in black responded in a deep voice. "The Chu Estate is not harboring any wanted criminals. We demand you leave immediately within one minute, or else you will be held accountable for your actions!"

"Presumptuous!" A chill emanated from Zhou Liang.

"The Shadow Gate has issued an order: Anyone who obstructs the Shadow Gate's investigations will be dealt with as a fellow conspirator!"

"If you don't open the door, I'll cut it down!"

"Hmph! Arrogant!" The man in black glared coldly at Zhou Liang, "You can try!"

"Good!" Zhou Liang's eyes sank, his figure flashed, and he swung his curved blade down at the black-clad man.

"To dare to run amok in the Chu Residence is truly to be ignorant of one's place, you wretch! " A low voice echoed from within the watchtower.

As he spoke, a blade of light with the momentum of thunder sliced out from the guard post.

"Overreaching!"

The judge descended from his seat, raising his hand to slash out a cold and fierce beam of light.

Boom!

The Judge's blade slashed through the opponent's attack and continued to shoot forward. The watchtower then burst apart like paper, with sand and stones flying everywhere.fee table three times right now!"Your little sister was full of anger.Bang!Before he could even utter a word, he was slapped again: "You bitch, you've got quite the appetite!"Then he pulled out anothe...
