"Captain!" The Security Bureau members hurriedly looked down, only to see their captain, A Jie, being pulled up precariously, almost falling into the water.

"I'm fine." A Jie felt the pull from behind, breathed a long sigh of relief, and responded loudly.

Yun Ming released his hand, and A Jie collapsed on the bank slope.

Looking at A Jie gasping for breath, Yun Ming couldn't help but say speechlessly, "I really can't tell if you're deliberately putting on an act."

Considering A Jie's identity, he was a well-trained agent of the Security Bureau.

Yet, he almost fell into the water and still looked frightened after being pulled back. Could it be that he couldn't even swim?

This was somewhat unbelievable.

However, thinking about A Jie's persona, it seemed reasonable again.

In short, Yun Ming really couldn't tell if he was acting or if he was really like this.

To be honest, he was a serious person and naturally had no fondness for weirdos.

He hated stupidity and idiots.

Listening to Yun Ming's words, A Jie also looked like he had just realized something. He pretended to be calm and said, "I just slipped accidentally. Even if I really fell into the water, I could handle it calmly. After all, I'm a professional."

"Mm." Yun Ming nodded, not paying much attention to his silly appearance.

He picked up the fishing rod and carefully checked it. Finding that it was still usable, he cast it directly into the water.

"No bait... Hmm? Could it be Jiang Taigong fishing, those willing take the bait?" A Jie revealed a thoughtful expression.

"Don't be so dramatic." Yun Ming interrupted A Jie's reverie and asked directly, "Are you guys following me and monitoring me because you're planning to make a move on me?"

A Jie's expression changed slightly. Yun Ming's direct question caught him off guard.

"Those nearly twenty lives were indeed unintentionally caused by me. I can only say I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." Yun Ming said calmly, "I can accept the punishment I deserve, but it's impossible if you want me to pay with my life or do something excessive."

The main reason he chose to accept the punishment was out of fear of the Angels.

Although he could easily collapse a building, in Super God, he was still an ant, too insignificant.

Therefore, he chose a strategy of retreating to advance, temporarily enduring and waiting for an opportunity.

After all, he had a system and harbored hope, so he could endure for the time being.

He believed that as long as he waited patiently, he would eventually take off.

However, he wouldn't completely sit still and wait for death. If he was really forced into a desperate situation, he would fight back with all his strength.

Yun Ming's straightforward words left A Jie stunned for a moment, unsure how to respond.

He was silent for a while before replying, "I will report your situation to my superiors."

"Then go ahead." Yun Ming unceremoniously issued an order to leave: "Let me see what your reply is."

Seeing this situation, A Jie could only helplessly climb up the bank slope and start making a phone call to report the situation to his superiors.

"Chief, he admitted that the building was unintentionally collapsed by him. He said it was unintentional. And he said the light screen looked a lot like him, but he didn't know why it was like that." A Jie reported truthfully on the phone, "As for the four medical staff in the car, he didn't mention it."

"Okay, give him the phone." A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yun Ming's hearing was now exceptionally sharp, making it easy for him to hear A Jie's phone conversation.

He heard a woman's voice on the other end, which piqued his curiosity.

Before long, A Jie walked down the slope and handed the phone to Yun Ming.

Yun Ming took the phone and said in a deep voice, "Hello."

"How do you explain the matter of the four paramedics?" A steady male voice came from the other end of the phone, conveying a sense of authority and pressure, not the woman's voice from before.

Yun Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "If I said I originally intended to knock them unconscious, but I didn't expect to use too much force, would you believe me?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end before the voice said, "But the wounds on their chests are like bullet holes. This location, this damage, you're saying you just knocked them unconscious? Is it martial arts?"

Yun Ming was a little surprised that the man on the other end of the phone had guessed so accurately that he was trying to target their sleep acupoints.

Did he guess it was martial arts because of the light screen?

Yun Ming thought to himself, wondering how he should answer.

"What if it is?"

"Then it is." There was an undeniable certainty in the other party's words.

Yun Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he realized that his previous words might have been inappropriate.

He frowned and said, "So, what do you plan to do? Are you planning to uphold justice, or maintain righteousness? Could it be that you are the legendary Du Kao?"

The other party's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, sounding somewhat surprised, "You actually know my identity?"

"Guess how I knew." Yun Ming thought, So it really is him.

"You're in a dangerous position."

On the Giant Gorge, Du Kao's face was stern, his eyes gloomy, as he said with a double meaning.

Yun Ming's face turned cold, "If that's the case, then there's no need to talk."

With that, the phone was instantly shattered into powder.

A Jie, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded. He looked up at Yun Ming and saw that Yun Ming's eyes were full of murderous intent, coldly staring at him.

A Jie's heart skipped a beat, feeling a chill coming over him.

He subconsciously wanted to take something out of his sleeve, but at that moment, Yun Ming suddenly turned his head, faced the water, and said quietly, "Since ancient times, good people don't live long, but scourges live for a thousand years. The ancients also said, 'Repairing bridges and roads leaves no corpses, killing and arson brings a golden belt.' Why is it that good people in this world are always easily persecuted, while evil people are often treated kindly by others?"

A Jie raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Ming with a puzzled expression.

Yun Ming didn't give him a chance to answer, waved his hand to interrupt him, and said coldly, "I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the gutter. Get out of here before I change my mind."

A Jie stood there, hesitating for a long time, but finally chose to climb back up. He knew that Yun Ming was already murderous at this moment, and staying here would only cause more trouble.

"In the end, one still needs to have the value of being united." As A Jie led his team away quietly, Yun Ming stared deeply at the fishhook on the water, and he murmured to himself, "So, how can one have such value? The Buddhists once said, 'Lay down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot.' As long as you have a knife in your hand, you can become a Buddha."

With a gentle flick of the fishing rod in his hand, a large expanse of white fish bellies suddenly appeared on the water.

"Whoosh—"

A long sound that tore through the air echoed in the night sky, and then, a dazzling cold light shone in the darkness, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

Yun Ming nimbly dodged to the side, the dagger brushing past him, bringing a gust of cold wind.

Lightning instantly gathered in his hand, like an angry dragon, a heavy punch striking out, fiercely hitting the woman's abdomen who had suddenly appeared.

"Boom boom boom!"

The terrifying shockwave raged behind the woman, the water surface instantly exploded, countless cracks appeared on the dam slope, and the ground beneath their feet trembled.
