The Yang Family, Mo Family, and Xu Family, the three major clans, were all discussing this matter at the moment, among them Yang Hao of the Yang Family and Xu Ming of the Xu Family were naturally overjoyed, wishing they could open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
After all, they had long wished for that bastard Xiao Yifeng to meet his downfall.
As for the Mo Family, upon learning that Xiao Yifeng was in trouble, Mo Shuqian and Mo Shumei had differing expressions, and no one knew what was going through the sisters’ minds.
"No, we absolutely cannot let him come to harm."
Mo Shuqian said indifferently, while Mo Shumei’s eyes tensed up slightly as her gaze turned to her elder sister.
"Are you going to take action to save him?"
"He knows the whereabouts of one of the green stone discs, no matter what, we can’t let anything happen to him," Mo Shuqian said in a deep voice.
In Tianhai, in the deepest part of the government residential compound, stood a three-story house guarded by several armed policemen.
In this courtyard, an old man dressed in a white lab coat was practicing a set of Tai Chi, while on one side stood a middle-aged man in black, wearing a buzz cut.
His aura was restrained, his eyes sharp and fierce, his body exuding a faint aura of iron-blooded ruthlessness, standing straight like a javelin, instilling a hint of fear in those who saw him.
At that moment, a black Audi car entered the courtyard, and the driver got out to open the door.
Mayor of Tianhai City, Shen Yunfeng, dressed in a suit, stepped out of the car and quickly walked toward the old gentleman.
This old gentleman was none other than the head of the Shen Family, Shen Yunfeng’s father, Shen Yunzhang, who was the same elder that Xiao Yifeng had saved at the scene of a car accident.
Shen Yunfeng approached Shen Yunzhang and respectfully called out.
"What brings you back? Is something the matter?"
Shen Yunzhang stopped his movements as the man in black handed him a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"Dad, do you remember the young man who saved you before?" Shen Yunfeng started.
"Of course, I’ve been asking Fang Ting to find him. Didn’t you tell me that he is the fiancé of the president of Ye Corporation, Xiao Yifeng?"
"I’ve been thinking of inviting this young man for a meal, after all, he is the savior of this old man’s life," Shen Yunzhang said with a smile, then turned his eyes to Shen Yunfeng, "What’s wrong? Is he in trouble?"
Shen Yunfeng nodded and relayed Xiao Yifeng’s situation, continuing,
"Dad, now Mr. Xiao has been taken to the police station, and with Elder Qi’s personality, I’m afraid he will definitely make Mr. Xiao accompany his grandson in death. What do you think we should do..."
"Do we even need to discuss it? This young man is my life savior, Shen Yunzhang. Am I not even human if I simply watch my benefactor die? Do I need to teach you such simple things?" Shen Yunzhang scolded with a fiery temper, as Shen Yunfeng, showing none of the dignity of a city’s mayor, meekly nodded.
"Dad, of course I know that, but you should also be aware of Elder Qi’s status. Alone, I am simply not powerful enough to rescue Mr. Xiao, which is why I rushed back to ask for your help," Shen Yunfeng spoke up.
"Hmph, if that old Qi dares to harm this Xiao young man, I’ll make sure he pays for it!"
Shen Yunzhang cursed robustly, with the forthright character of a soldier.
Tianhai City, city police station.
Xiao Yifeng was taken into the interrogation room at the city bureau, which wasn’t much different from the one in the DH District Branch Bureau, just larger.
Xiao Yifeng hadn’t anticipated that he would once again find himself in this interrogation room. He truly seemed fated to cross paths with the police station.
At that moment, the door to the interrogation room opened, Xiao Ruolin glanced around quickly and walked in before shutting the door behind her.
"Darling, we really are fated to meet again and again, aren’t we? I see you everywhere!" Xiao Yifeng said with a grin, looking at Xiao Ruolin.
"Jerk, don’t call me darling. If you keep it up, I won’t be so polite," Xiao Ruolin responded fiercely upon hearing Xiao Yifeng call her darling, though she felt a strange sense of affection, her face was stern.
"Alright, alright, I won’t call you that if it bothers you so much. Why the rush? Could it be that time of the month?" Xiao Yifeng murmured. Catching Xiao Ruolin’s murderous gaze, he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Captain Xiao, what brings you here?"
"I was transferred here to the city bureau’s criminal police team as the deputy captain because of that treasure incident," Xiao Ruolin said.
"Then I should congratulate you on your promotion!" Xiao Yifeng said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"At a time , you still find reasons to smile."
Xiao Ruolin, seeing Xiao Yifeng’s carefree attitude, spoke with irritation.
"What ’time ’? Is it the end of the world?"
Xiao Yifeng said nonchalantly, his face betraying no signs of concern or anxiety.
"You..." Xiao Ruolin was at a loss for words with him and blurted out, "Do you realize how dangerous your situation is? Deputy Director Sun and Elder Qi have already concluded that you killed Sunx Yu. Once they have proof, you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison."
Xiao Yifeng looked at Xiao Ruolin with an amused smile and said, "Are you showing concern for me, or have you already fallen for me?"
Xiao Ruolin’s cheeks flushed red, her eyes betrayed a flash of panic, and she quickly replied, "What nonsense are you spouting? No such thing. I’m only repaying you for saving me before. That’s all."
"Really? I think you must have fallen for me. I know I’m handsome, and any beauty would fall for me. If you like me, you don’t have to be ashamed, just admit it openly."
Xiao Yifeng said earnestly.
Xiao Ruolin looked at Xiao Yifeng, feeling utterly helpless. Didn’t he realize the gravity of their situation? His mind was certainly at ease.
"You’re in grave danger. If the murder is proven beyond doubt, it’s over for you. However, they don’t have direct evidence of you committing the murder yet, so you mustn’t admit to anything."
"The only uncertainty is what Wang Miaomiao will say—she’s the direct witness. If she identifies you as the killer, then you’re in big trouble," Xiao Ruolin said gravely.
"Miaomiao was caught too?"
Xiao Yifeng’s expression changed as he activated his ’perspective eye’. With a quick scan, he saw Wang Miaomiao’s figure in another interrogation room.
Two other people were with her in that room—Sunx Ping and Qii Zhenghua.
When Xiao Yifeng saw the unfolding scene, his expression turned cold, and a chill flashed through his eyes. He stood up from the interrogation chair, emanating an icy aura.
