However, these two guys really stood there like door gods, motionless, allowing Han Lian to question them twice, yet they didn't utter a single word.

"Hey, I'm saying, you two are really bold, our captain is asking you a question, so answer honestly and quickly!"

The two plainclothes officers looked at each other, immediately irritated, they rolled up their sleeves ready to step forward, but were interrupted by Ling Zhenfei reaching out his hand.

Ling Zhenfei acted as if he hadn't even noticed the two expressionless door gods. He began to walk toward the staircase, only to be stopped by one of the guys reaching out his hand.

"Sorry, our boss is upstairs taking care of business, no one is allowed to go up!"

"Get lost!" As soon as the guy finished speaking, Ling Zhenfei glared at him coldly.

Just two words, without any unnecessary speech. But these two words, when spoken from Ling Zhenfei's mouth, were indeed full of force.

The two big men were evidently intimidated by Ling Zhenfei's shout, their expressions turned blank for a moment, and, not daring to confront Ling Zhenfei's sharpness, they simultaneously took a step back.

"Han Lian, let's go up and take a look!"

Ling Zhenfei couldn't be bothered to give those two blockheads another glance, as he spoke to Han Lian and proceeded to walk up the stairs.

Han Lian was about to go upstairs, but upon seeing that the two plainclothes officers also wanted to come up, he stopped them, "Just keep an eye on these two, the two of us going up is enough."

"Yes, Captain Han!" The two plainclothes officers replied and took their respective positions in front of the two bodyguards, standing off against them.

"Zhenfei, you really are something else, scaring those two guys into silence with just a look!"

While climbing the stairs with Ling Zhenfei, Han Lian couldn't resist teasing him, "Before, when I read novels and encountered descriptions of killing with a gaze, I thought it was pure myth! But now, I'm one hundred percent sure, Zhenfei, the lethality of your little glance is absolutely no joke!"

Darn! A gaze that kills...

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei felt speechless and turned back, widening his eyes as he stared intently at Han Lian and joked, "Officer Han, you're saying that a look can harm people, right? Well then, I'm going to use my gaze to kill you right now, prepare yourself!"

"Pfft!"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's mock ferocious gaze, Han Lian couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "Stop it, you clown; I'm being serious.

Your glare just now was really frightening; it even gave me a scare. Paired with that fierce shout of yours, the effect was truly no less terrifying than Zhang Fei's glare at Changban Slope, reportedly scaring a general to death..."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Something's happened upstairs, let's hurry and check it out!"

Seeing that Han Lian was getting more and more mystical, and kept glancing at him from time to time, Ling Zhenfei really began to worry that she would notice his flaws. He cleared his throat twice and continued walking upstairs.

"You bastards, get out of here! I warn you, I've already called the police, and I will not tolerate such bullying!"

Just as Ling Zhenfei and Han Lian reached the fourth floor, they heard Zhuo Yue's angry and delicate shouting from above.

"You little brat, who are you trying to fool? Hurry up and tell me, where did that little punk Ling Zhenfei hide?"

As Zhuo Yue's shouting ended, a rough and fierce voice then reached Ling Zhenfei and Han Lian's ears, "Hand him over to me right now. This is outrageous, that punk actually dared to beat up Boss Jin's nephew like that!"

This voice was quite unfamiliar to Ling Zhenfei, but as soon as he heard that the other party was looking for trouble with him, he didn't hesitate and made his way upstairs.

"Wait!" Han Lian, however, frowned deeply, pulling at Ling Zhenfei's arm, signaling for him to wait a moment before going up.

As the chief of the city's criminal police, Han Lian had dealings with all the well-known figures on the various paths in Binyang City. The moment she heard this voice, she recognized it instantly as that of Du Xiao Ma, the most trusted henchman under Golden Teeth, the overlord of Binyang's underworld.

Du Xiao Ma might not be considered a major boss, but in the underworld of Binyang City, he was also a person who could call the wind and summon the rain.

How could such a ruthless character appear here? And why was he specifically looking for Ling Zhenfei?

Ling Zhenfei was being held back by Han Lian and couldn't free himself, so he had to stand temporarily at the side of the corridor, listening to the movement upstairs.

"Le Wu Ya, stop your wishful thinking. Big Brother Ling isn't here, and you won't find him."

The forceful yell of Du Xiao Ma from inside the room didn't seem to scare the two frail women. At this moment, Xie Lina also stood up to defend Ling Zhenfei.

Slap!

Unexpectedly, before Xie Lina could finish speaking, someone furiously walked over and fiercely slapped her across the face.

After that, the person pointed at Xie Lina and raged, "You whore, do you think just because that kid saved you, you can really escape from my grasp?

I'm telling you, Xie Lina, you are mine in life. After death, you'll obediently be my ghost! I will have my way with you however I want, do you understand?"

Ah!

Xie Lina, who was already weak, was struck by the slap and fell heavily to the ground, her face turning deathly pale with blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

Hearing the sound of the slap, Ling Zhenfei, who was standing in the corridor, felt a jolt in his heart. He clearly recognized the voice as that of Le Wu Ya, who had been severely punished by him at the Royal No.1 Club just that evening.

How had Le Wu Ya appeared here? How did he find out about his whereabouts? Could it be... that he learned from the Chen family? Or, was he in cahoots with the Chen family?

Thinking about what Le Wu Ya had just said, Ling Zhenfei felt even more that his brain wasn't working fast enough.

Could it be... Le Wu Ya was the despicable master who abandoned Xie Lina and sold her to the human traffickers, as she had mentioned before?

This possibility seemed very likely!

With this in mind, Ling Zhenfei felt a surge of anger well up from his chest. Just as he was about to rush forward, Han Lian, sensing his fury, still held onto his hand tightly.

"You... how could you hit someone!" Inside the upstairs room, Zhuo Yue was shocked to see Xie Lina fall and rushed to help her up.

From what Xie Lina had just said, Zhuo Yue seemed to understand something and immediately berated Le Wu Ya loudly, "I get it now, you must be the bastard Sister Lina was talking about! You heartless, cruel thing, I will teach you a lesson for Sister Lina!"

With that, Zhuo Yue, like an enraged lioness, was ready to pounce on Le Wu Ya.

"Stop her! Quick! Grab her!"

Le Wu Ya was clearly startled by Zhuo Yue's actions. While he was retreating, he ordered his two big men to grab Zhuo Yue tightly.

"Let me go, you bastards, if you're looking for Ling Zhenfei, he will come soon, and he will twist all of your heads off!"

Zhuo Yue, caught by the two big men, struggled fiercely but couldn't escape and could only shout angrily through gritted teeth.

"Ling Zhenfei is coming? Good, I'll be right here waiting for him! Tonight, I must flay that kid alive!"
