Already seething with anger, Liu Ergou could no longer contain himself after being provoked by Boss Liu. He raised his fist high and crashed it down onto Boss Liu's face once again.

With that punch, half of Boss Liu's face caved in. He was barely breathing, looking as though he wouldn't last much longer. But even so, Liu Ergou didn't stop, raising his fist for a third time.

Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the arcade.

"Stop!"

However, upon hearing the command, Liu Ergou showed no sign of stopping. His fist plunged toward Boss Liu's face for the third time. If this punch landed, it would surely kill him.

Just as Liu Ergou's fist was about to connect with Boss Liu, a loud bang echoed from behind him.

BANG!

Immediately after, Liu Ergou felt something whiz past his cheek, followed by another loud shout.

"Liu Ergou, if you don't stop now, the next bullet is aimed at you! Stop right there! Do you hear me?"

Only then did Liu Ergou finally freeze, slowly turning around. When he turned and saw the speaker, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Isn't this the policewoman he encountered in the city? How did she suddenly appear in town? What's going on?

Indeed, the person shouting for him to stop, the one who had fired the shot, was the very same policewoman Liu Ergou had met once in the city.

Seeing the policewoman, Liu Ergou said nothing. Instead, he turned his head and shifted his gaze back to Boss Liu's face.

Witnessing this, the policewoman quickly stepped forward to block Liu Ergou. "Liu Ergou, stop right there! Do you think you can commit an assault right in front of me? Stop now, do you hear me!"

Hearing her words, Liu Ergou simply replied in a cold voice, "Get out of my way! This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you! Did you hear me?"

Liu Ergou's response caused the policewoman to frown. "What do you mean, it's your business? Liu Ergou, do you realize what you're doing? This is assault! You could go to prison for this! Move aside now, and get this man to a hospital!"

But even after she said all this, Liu Ergou didn't move. He didn't strike again, but he retorted, "So what if I end up in prison! Do you have any idea what these scumbags have done? They kidnapped my sister-in-law, and then..." At this point, Liu Ergou became too agitated to speak.

After hearing his words, the policewoman froze. She hadn't expected such a serious incident to have occurred here. She was just on a routine patrol! How could she have stumbled upon something like this?

Although the policewoman sympathized with Liu Ergou, her duty didn't allow him to continue.

"Liu Ergou, you need to calm down. I know you're furious," she pleaded. "But have you considered that scum like them aren't worth it? They broke the law, and the law will punish them.

"But if you take matters into your own hands, you'll be the one punished, not them. It's not worth throwing your life away for trash like this.

"Listen to me. Hand these two over to me. I promise I'll see to it that you get justice. Trust me, okay?"

With the policewoman having put it that way, Liu Ergou couldn't argue. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart, and stepped aside.

Seeing this, the policewoman wasted no time. She immediately took out her walkie-talkie to report the situation, then pulled out her phone to call for an ambulance. Before long, several police officers arrived at the scene.

Liu Ergou went with the policewoman back to the station to give his statement. As for Boss Liu, he was taken away by an ambulance. Wu Dahu also accompanied Liu Ergou to the police station.

At the station, Liu Ergou cooperated fully and finished his statement. When it was all over, he planned to take Xu Yulan back to the village.

Just as Liu Ergou was stepping out of the police station, the policewoman suddenly came out from behind and stood in his path.

She spoke with a serious expression, "Liu Ergou, I understand how you feel, but you mustn't be impulsive. You have to trust the law. The law will bring these people to justice.

"Also, regarding your older brother, I've pulled the official report. It was ruled an accident—he fell from the 15th floor. You should receive a compensation payment in the next few days."

With that, the policewoman gently patted Liu Ergou's back. But upon hearing her words, Liu Ergou clenched his fists tightly.

What a joke! How could his older brother have just fallen by accident? It was obvious someone was behind it. And it was clear that person could be none other than Yuan Wenkang.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou was filled with a burning rage. He wanted nothing more than to storm over to Yuan Wenkang's house and kill him on the spot. But reason told him he couldn't act on it. He had to be patient; after all, without any evidence, the blame could never be pinned on Yuan Wenkang.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

The policewoman continued, "I've never dealt with something like this before, so I don't really know how to comfort you. Look, take down my number. I'll be assigned to this area for a while, so if you need anything, you can call me. My surname is Han, and my name is Han Jiajia."

Liu Ergou didn't say much. He just nodded and silently noted down Han Jiajia's number. Only then did he take the still-unconscious Xu Yulan back home.

Once there, he carefully placed her on the bed and then stood by the window, waiting for her to wake up.

He ended up waiting the entire night. Liu Ergou didn't sleep at all, keeping a constant vigil over Xu Yulan. However, by the next morning, she still showed no signs of waking.

This made Liu Ergou's brows furrow in concern.

Even an anesthetic should have worn off after an entire night. Why hasn't she woken up?

Thinking this, Liu Ergou reached out and began to check Xu Yulan's pulse.

After a moment, he understood why she hadn't woken up. The reason was simple: she had been drugged. The dosage was quite high, which was why she had been unconscious for so long. For Liu Ergou, however, this wasn't a major problem.

He helped Xu Yulan roll over and then began to perform a therapeutic massage.
