Chapter 438 The Pig and the Rat
“I’m here to arrest people, so I naturally have my evidence. Besides, these three are already wanted criminals by the Dragon Group; they’re already on the wanted list.”
Tan Zhentian, if you step in to stop this, you will be considered an accomplice.
Guan Yiming showed no respect for Tan Zhentian and directly put Tian Zhenzhen and the other two on the wanted list.
Everything has a traceable origin; Tian Daqiang killing the Dragon Group members was just a better pretext.
Even without this incident, the plan to target Tan Zhentian had already been laid out long ago.
"Guan Yiming, I never expected you to be so good at twisting the truth."
Yeah, you haven't done anything serious since you came to South China.
Since you came to South China, you've corrupted the atmosphere of the Dragon Group.
"I'd like to see what you're capable of, to take this person away from me."
Tan Zhentian and Guan Yiming were at odds. Ever since Guan Yiming came to South China, he had been secretly trying to take away the power in Tan Zhentian's hands.
Guan Yiming is no slouch; he comes from a powerful family, is generous, and has a strong background within the Dragon Group.
Soon, due to certain interests, he gathered a lot of people around him.
Gradually, Tan Zhentian's control over the Dragon Group in South China diminished.
By the time he realized what was happening and tried to stop him, Guan Yiming's influence in South China was already considerable.
His original intention in dealing with the Taichu Temple and Jingyun Temple incident was to set a trap to weaken Guan Yiming's power.
He hadn't even made a move yet, but Tian Zhenzhen had already taken care of quite a few things for him.
Although Tian Zhenzhen and the other two were very useful henchmen, and Guan Yiming's life would probably be in danger if they made a move, he did not want to make a big fuss about the internal affairs.
If this gets out of hand, it won't benefit him or the Dragon Group. Someone is eyeing his position, and if it's not Guan Yiming, it will be someone else.
Of course, he would stop Guan Yiming if necessary, but if Guan Yiming insisted on going his own way and wanted to die, it was beyond his control.
After thinking it through, Tan Zhentian stood firmly in front of Tian Zhenzhen and the other two, not wanting them to make a move.
Once action is taken, things will likely become difficult to resolve.
"Tan Zhentian, do you really intend to protect criminals, collude with them, and oppose the Dragon Group? Are you going to betray the Dragon Group?"
Guan Yiming saw Tan Zhentian's actions; it was clear that he was protecting the three people behind him.
He came here today with a lot of preparation. He didn't originally intend to take down Tan Zhentian in one fell swoop. After all, the fact that so many people died this time could only be considered a dereliction of duty on his part.
He wanted to find a reason to forcefully involve them, but now look what's happened—he actually dares to openly protect these three people; he's really eager to die.
Guan Yiming felt a little smug, as he had originally thought that Tan Zhentian's attitude wouldn't be so resolute.
When we get back, we can accuse him of having an affair, even if that doesn't solve the problem immediately.
If he spreads rumors that Tan Zhentian colluded with outsiders and disregarded the lives of the Dragon Group members, Tan Zhentian's reputation will definitely suffer a great blow.
If Tan Zhentian were to get injured again at this time, losing both his reputation and his strength, it would be the perfect opportunity for him to replace Tan Zhentian.
At that time, the Dragon Group in South China will become his personal fiefdom, and he will be able to better serve Elder Xuefeng.
But he never expected Tan Zhentian to be so assertive and dare to obstruct him.
What a wonderful surprise! Heaven is on my side.
"Don't try to label me like that. I, Tan Zhentian, have a clear conscience.
But you, I don't know where you heard the news, are going to make a move against Senior Daqiang and the others.
Do you know what the consequences of your actions will be?
It would offend a senior expert, causing more trouble for the Dragon Group and the martial artists.
"If this escalates into a major incident, let's see how you, Guan Yiming, take responsibility."
If we're talking about labeling people, Tan Zhentian could do it too.
There has always been a delicate balance between the Dragon Group and the martial artists.
If the Dragon Group really did commit massacres and slander against the martial artists, it would be very likely to cause friction between the Dragon Group and the martial artists if someone from the martial artists' side took the lead.
It won't be something that can be solved simply by a few people dying.
If this had happened to someone from a major sect, Guan Yiming would never have been so brazen as to come and arrest them.
He only calculates the chips in his mind so that he can get the most advantageous benefit for himself through murder.
After all, a person is dead; nothing compares to the actual benefits one receives.
But he had already investigated the identities of these three people and found that they did not belong to any major power.
Even if they have some strength, they are no match for the Dragon Group.
"Tan Zhentian, it's no use saying anything more. The Dragon Group has already issued arrest warrants for these three people."
According to the Dragon Group's regulations, anyone who dares to obstruct the arrest of criminals will be treated as an accomplice.
The martial artists who make it onto the Dragon Group's wanted list are basically all fierce and ruthless.
If such a person stays outside, he will commit many evil deeds.
Therefore, being on the wanted list is basically a death sentence for these individuals.
Guan Yiming's citation of the regulations was not a well-intentioned reminder, but rather a way to leave more compelling evidence.
"You're just trying to frame me. Fine, since you've come prepared, you'll have to get past me first if you want to make a move."
Tan Zhentian could only defeat Guan Yiming first, and then contact the elders to explain the situation clearly. At that time, Tian Zhenzhen and the other two could be removed from the list of wanted criminals.
"Fine, since you're so stubborn and continue to protect the people who killed the Dragon Group brothers, then don't blame me for taking action."
Guan Yiming was very satisfied with the current result. After speaking with a righteous expression, he looked at Tan Zhentian with unusually firm eyes.
It's as if he's on the side of justice.
"If you're going to make a move, then make a move. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Tan Zhentian said with some disdain, "Although Guan Yiming is also a Grandmaster martial artist, most of his strength is built up with drugs."
Compared to a martial artist with such natural talent, their strength is considerably inferior.
This is why he has remained the administrator of the South China region for so long.
After all, Tan Zhentian was the strongest martial artist in the Dragon Group in South China.
Therefore, Tan Zhentian was still very confident when facing Guan Yiming.
"Gentlemen, you've seen Tan Zhentian's attitude, haven't you? Please help me take him down."
Guan Yiming was clearly well-prepared; he wasn't the only Grandmaster martial artist among the group that came this time.
As soon as he finished speaking, two more people entered the small private room.
These two people, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, are also two of the twelve zodiac animals in the Dragon Group, namely the Pig and the Rat.
Both men had the appearance of middle-aged men.
The pig is tall and bald, with a strong physique that rivals that of Zhang Tiesheng, whom we saw earlier.
When he entered, he was almost as tall as the door frame. The already small private room suddenly felt cramped after he came in.
Unlike him, the Rat, though standing next to the Pig, is not even as tall as his shoulder.
His actual height is 170 cm, which is not short among normal people.
However, he was really thin, with a mustache and buck teeth, and he really did look somewhat like a rat, so the nickname wasn't wrong.
Upon seeing these two, Tan Zhentian's previously confident expression turned serious.
"Why are you here?"
You should know that the twelve zodiac animals belong to different regions. Tan Zhentian had not heard any news before, so he didn't know how these two ended up here.
Could it be that Guan Yiming had arranged this beforehand?
"Chenlong, it's been so long since we last met, and you still haven't learned to control your temper at all."
Zishu's voice was quite gentle, which didn't quite match his appearance.
The two had obviously known each other for a long time and were very familiar with Tan Zhentian's temperament.
"Don't try to get on my good side. Were you invited by Guan Yiming?" Tan Zhentian's expression was still somewhat serious, but he didn't seem too nervous.
They, the twelve zodiac signs, had handled many things together and faced life and death together. Although they only contacted each other once in a long while, they still had a relationship.
Moreover, he knew that these two people were not from Elder Xuefeng's faction, which was a good thing for him.
This was also what annoyed Guan Yiming, since the people who had been agreed upon before were not these two.
But in the end, Elder Xuefeng couldn't change the decision. He collapsed, but Xu Ruo still provided many good things, so he wasn't worried that the two of them wouldn't do their job.
"These two are naturally the ones I invited to capture the fugitive. It's just that they arrived at the right time; otherwise, you would have escaped."
Before the Pig and the Rat could answer, Guan Yiming spoke first.
