Chapter 1985: Chapter 1965: Backup Support

"Director Ma, you didn’t call me over just for this, did you?" Chen Yang looked at Ma Jiantao and asked.

Ma Jiantao nodded: "That’s right, the main reason I called you today is because I need your help to cooperate with Lisa and her team in completing their mission."

"How should I help?"

Chen Yang asked directly without wasting words.

"According to our investigation, there are several members of the Five Poisons Cult who have been very active at a bar in the county recently."

"I’ve already made arrangements, and we have people staking out the place. I just feel that the people from the Five Poisons Cult are not easy to deal with, so I wanted to trouble you to provide some backup."

"Additionally, your medical expertise could come in handy if any unusual situation arises, ensuring no casualties occur."

Ma Jiantao explained his plan.

After listening, Chen Yang understood the gist of it.

"Director Ma, you should have some confidence in Lisa and her team. Capturing a few ordinary cult members shouldn’t be too much of an issue, right?" Chen Yang smiled.

Ma Jiantao also smiled and shook his head: "I can be at ease with anything else, but the people from the Five Poisons Cult are too mysterious, and their poison techniques are bizarre. I’m worried about accidents, which is why I asked you to help on short notice."

"Alright, just tell me the location, and I’ll head over immediately."

Chen Yang agreed with a smile.

"Alright."

Without further ado, Ma Jiantao immediately provided Chen Yang with the location.

Armed with the location, Chen Yang promptly left the hospital and headed to the bar.

It was nighttime, the peak time for bustling activity at the bar, with many cars and people coming and going.

Entering the bar, Chen Yang scanned the surroundings and quickly located Xiao Hu at a table in the corner, just as Ma Jiantao had described.

For this operation, to ensure everything went smoothly, Ma Jiantao divided them into several small teams.

Taking on various responsibilities.

The main force consisted of Xiao Hu and a few others, responsible for staking out inside the bar.

As soon as the target appeared, they would immediately look for an opportunity to make the capture.

"You... Chen Yang? What are you doing here?" The burly Xiao Hu was surprised to see Chen Yang suddenly appear.

"Director Ma sent me to assist in your operation." Chen Yang got straight to the point.

"Wow, Director Ma really doesn’t trust us, does he? Just a few ordinary cult members from the Five Poisons Cult, does he really need to bring you in for this?" Xiao Hu said somewhat helplessly.

"Don’t overthink it, Director Ma is just considering the uniqueness of the Five Poisons Cult, and since I happen to have medical skills, he specifically asked me to come just as a precaution." Chen Yang explained on behalf of Director Ma.

Having not seen each other for a while, Xiao Hu and the others had already reached the Qi Refinement Realm.

They had just recently broken through, and naturally, they were eager to show what they could do.

"I see." After listening, Xiao Hu smiled: "Director Ma indeed planned well, because if someone’s poisoned, it could really be troublesome."

Chen Yang smiled and then asked about the situation.

"I’ve already figured it out: several members of the Five Poisons Cult are hiding in this bar, pretending to be ordinary bartenders, but it’s not yet peak business hours, so they haven’t shown themselves yet." Xiao Hu explained.

"Oh, I see."

"Yeah." Xiao Hu glanced at the time: "In at most half an hour, when business is booming, they’ll definitely come out."

"Alright, then I’ll wait with you guys."

Hearing that it wouldn’t be long, Chen Yang didn’t leave the table and stayed with them.

Listening to the rhythmic music in the bar and occasionally sipping a drink, it was quite relaxing.

However, their eyes were constantly scanning the bar’s main hall, watching each unfamiliar face.

"Brother Hu, they’re here."

Before long, someone softly spoke from a corner of the bar.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang and Xiao Hu immediately turned their gaze in that direction.

They saw two men in bartender uniforms tidying their work clothes at the entrance before smiling and walking into the bar to start serving guests.

"It’s them!" Xiao Hu’s eyes flashed coldly as he locked onto the pair.

"Should we catch them directly now, or wait for an opportunity?"

Someone asked.

"No need to wait, just act now." Xiao Hu decided directly.

"Okay!"

Xiao Hu took the lead, quickly approaching the two bartenders with a few others.

Chen Yang was there for support, and he would only intervene if Xiao Hu and the others couldn’t handle it, so at first, he simply observed and didn’t follow Xiao Hu over.

He watched as Xiao Hu and the team closed in on the two bartenders within seconds.

They formed a surrounding posture, blocking all sides, leaving no escape routes for the pair.

The two bartenders seemed to notice, as the pair suddenly split and walked in opposite directions.

But Xiao Hu’s group had already surrounded them, making it impossible for them to leave even if they tried.

Plus, one of them bumped right into Xiao Hu.

"Uh... Sorry, sir." The bartender forced a smile, pretending nothing happened, apologizing to Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu towered over him, glaring.

"Sir, is there anything you need? I can provide service." The bartender still pretended to be oblivious.

But Xiao Hu was certain, and there was no way he’d let him off so easily.

"No need for service, just come with us." Xiao Hu grabbed the bartender’s shoulder.

The bartender, who had been smiling kindly, suddenly changed his expression.

Out of nowhere, he pulled out a dagger coated with deadly poison and thrust it towards Xiao Hu’s abdomen.
