The purpose of Ling Zhenfei's visit to the hospital was to provoke Le Jianxing into anger.

Only if Le Jianxing, the old fox, became furious would he act, and only then would Ling Zhenfei have a hope of catching his fox's tail.

In fact, he had long noticed that Le Wu Ya was nothing but a good-for-nothing pretender; it was impossible for the Chen family to choose him as a partner.

Le Wu Ya was likely just a representative for someone or some force, with someone manipulating him from behind the scenes.

After much reflection, Ling Zhenfei concluded that the person controlling from behind must be Le Jianxing.

Le Jianxing was wealthy but unkind, meddling in any business that made a profit, regardless of morality. In Binyang's political and business circles, he was notorious. He could completely use his wealth to instruct his son to engage in illegal activities for money.

Even if it wasn't Le Jianxing pulling the strings from behind, his protection of his son meant he was definitely an accomplice.

Ling Zhenfei now had to force Le Jianxing to make a move, so he could have the chance to find their evidence and take down both father and son.

Walking out of the long corridor, Ling Zhenfei took the elevator down to the hospital's first-floor lobby.

It was now past four in the morning; Binyang was a major international metropolis, and the Central Hospital was the best in Binyang City.

Although it was still dark outside, many patients were already arriving at the hospital.

Ling Zhenfei stepped out of the hospital's revolving door, hailed a taxi, and headed home.

Having not slept all night, he was so tired that he could hardly keep his eyes open. Now, he needed to catch up on some sleep and recover his energy for the fierce storm that was coming.

Today had been full of events, and even someone with Ling Zhenfei's stamina was feeling the strain.

Arriving at home and checking the time, it was nearly five in the morning. Exhausted, he threw himself onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept until twelve noon before he finally awoke leisurely.

After freshening up and feeling hungry, he went downstairs to the noodle shop next to his residential complex and ordered a bowl of noodles.

After filling his stomach, Ling Zhenfei carefully recalled the events of the past few days.

The enemies he had made were quite a list; not to mention Du Kongting and the Zhou brothers, who, failing to confront him directly, would turn to Yang Zixuan.

However, with Jiang Hao protecting Yang Zixuan from the shadows, Ling Zhenfei didn't need to worry for the time being.

As for Le Wu Ya and the Chen family, they were now giving Ling Zhenfei a major headache.

Last night, Xie Lina said she wouldn't accuse Le Wu Ya, and although Le Jianxing had readily let her go, Ling Zhenfei knew very well that Le Jianxing, the old fox, wouldn't take this lying down.

Even if he had warned him last night, hoping he would drop the matter, this seemed unlikely.

As for the person from the Chen family, he was even less of an easy mark.

This human trafficking organization was incredibly bold, daring to flaunt themselves even though they knew the police were on their trail. And then there were Chen Wusi and his nephew Chen Xuanliang, outrageously arrogant, even daring to attempt to capture Xie Lina.

Did they have some kind of powerful backing that made them so untouchable?

Thinking of this backing, Ling Zhenfei could not help but wonder about the enigmatic mastermind behind it all. Who could be so terrifying as to command the vicious Chen family?

Moreover, figures like Hei Biao, Nine Lives Wildcat, and even underworld tycoons such as Golden Teeth seemed to be mere puppets in the hands of this hidden manipulator!

The mastermind behind the scenes is truly terrifying!

He hasn't shown his face yet, and has already thrown the situation into such chaos, Ling Zhenfei couldn't believe it—if this person personally took action, would he even stand a chance?

With this in mind, Ling Zhenfei felt the urgency of the situation even more.

Xie Lina was unwilling to file a complaint against Le Wu Ya, and the police had no evidence against the Chen family, so now Xie Lina was actually safe. Xie Lina was now shopping with Zhuo Yue, so Ling Zhenfei didn't need to worry about their safety.

But his immediate priority was to follow the clues he had in hand, gradually tracking down the leads and ultimately bringing the puppeteer controlling everything from behind the scenes to light.

Just as he was preparing to call Han Lian for some information, his cellphone rang. Ling Zhenfei picked it up and saw that it was a call from Han Lian, which was a bit of a surprise.

"Hello, Officer Han, we really must be telepathically linked! I was just about to call you, and here your call came first…"

Upon pressing the answer button and just as Ling Zhenfei was about to crack a joke with Han Lian, he distinctly heard Han Lian's voice on the other end in an urgent tone, "Zhenfei, I'm at Xincheng Prison, no matter what you're doing now, please come over by all means. Tan Shaojie has escaped!"

"What?" Hearing Han Lian's words so suddenly, Ling Zhenfei's whole body trembled in shock, hardly believing what he had heard.

Tan Shaojie—that drug trafficker who hijacked planes and killed police officers—had escaped from prison?

This really was a case of one problem following another!

Dudu...

Ling Zhenfei was desperately hoping to get confirmation from Han Lian, but it sounded like Han Lian was also in a state of panic and after hurriedly saying a few words, hung up the phone.

Although finding out the mastermind behind the Chen family was important, since that guy was so mysterious, they could only try to catch him with a more cautious plan. But Tan Shaojie was an extremely dangerous person; if he got away, the consequences were unimaginable!

Bang!

Ling Zhenfei fiercely punched a thick tree by the roadside, his brow furrowed tightly, and without further ado, he quickly made his way to Xincheng Prison.

…

In Binyang City, inside a high-end villa.

Le Sishu stopped his car in front of the villa's gate, where several men in black suits welcomed him inside.

"Butler Le, you've arrived!" As soon as Le Sishu entered with these men, he saw Du Xiao Ma coming towards him with several of his subordinates.

Having been knocked out cold by Ling Zhenfei with a punch the night before, Du Xiao Ma's injury was not light; the bump from the wound on his forehead had yet to fade, and his swollen face looked quite comical.

"Hmm, I am here on the master's orders to see Master Jin," Le Sishu said gravely as he nodded to Du Xiao Ma, casting a glance and deliberately showing a look of great surprise. "Brother Xiaoma, what happened to you…"

"It's all because of that brat Ling Zhenfei…" As soon as Le Sishu brought up the topic, Du Xiao Ma was immediately grinding his teeth with frustration.

"Ling Zhenfei, that kid is too arrogant!"

Upon hearing this, Le Sishu immediately showed an indignant expression: "He not only hit our young master but also has no respect for Master Jin. Unbelievable!"

"Hmph, such an ignorant brat. How could Master Jin let him be so insolent!" Du Xiao Ma, upon hearing this, clenched his fist in anger and then seriously said to Le Sishu, "Master Jin is in the side hall. Butler Le, come with me."

The two went to the side hall, where they saw a man in his fifties, slightly overweight, dressed in Taiji apparel with a bald head, leisurely sipping tea.
