Undoubtedly, this bald man was the big boss controlling the entire underground world of Binyang: Golden Teeth!
Golden Teeth had been in the business for decades, enduring countless trials and tribulations in Jianghu before he established his current empire.
Now, the underground layout in Binyang City, although seemingly fragmented with each district having its own leader and none of the leaders following each other, was dominated by Golden Teeth alone. He might not have absolute command, but no district leader dared to openly defy him.
"Master Jin, Butler Le has arrived!" Du Xiao Ma, escorting Le Sishu to the door, respectfully informed Golden Teeth.
"Ah, Sishu has come? Please, take a seat!"
Golden Teeth looked up, nodded at Le Sishu, and then instructed Du Xiao Ma, "You may leave now!"
"Yes!" Du Xiao Ma dared not disobey and promptly withdrew.
Le Sishu sat upright on the sofa, where a servant had already served some tea, but he didn't dare to drink it and instead glanced tentatively at Golden Teeth.
Golden Teeth was indeed a seasoned player, his emotions never showing on his face. Although Ling Zhenfei had beaten his men, severely annoying him, he rarely showed his anger in front of others.
"This... Master Jin, my family head sent me..." Le Sishu had been waiting for a while but seeing that Golden Teeth was only sipping tea silently, he had to start speaking respectfully.
"That kid Ling Zhenfei, I've already had him investigated!"
As Le Sishu was speaking, Golden Teeth unexpectedly put down his teacup and ominously commented, "That kid does indeed have some skills!"
"Master Jin..."
Seeing Golden Teeth's sigh, Le Sishu was shocked and hurriedly inquired, "Master Jin, while Ling Zhenfei is indeed formidable, he is just a fighter with no significant backing. With the saying 'two hands can't contend with four,' it wouldn't be hard to deal with him!"
"Oh?"
Just as Le Sishu finished speaking, Golden Teeth's expression darkened, revealing a displeased look, "Sishu, from what you're implying, do you think I'm afraid of that kid?"
"No, no... Master Jin, that's not what I meant!"
Seeing the murderous glint in Golden Teeth's eyes, Le Sishu felt his heart pounding as if it would leap out of his chest, and he quickly explained, "You are a dominator of the realms, how could you possibly fear that boy? I just meant that the kid is too arrogant, and if we don't teach him a lesson..."
"Enough!" Before Le Sishu could finish, Golden Teeth sternly interrupted him.
After glancing at Le Sishu, Golden Teeth stated, "I already have a plan for dealing with Ling Zhenfei. Go back and tell your brother not to act rashly. Ling Zhenfei is not someone he can handle. Now, go back!"
"This..."
Le Sishu had come to convey his master's intentions but, before he could even express Le Jianxing's thoughts, Golden Teeth was already sending him away.
Could it be that Ling Zhenfei was so formidable that even Golden Teeth feared him to some extent?
This thought made Le Sishu shiver with fear...
When Ling Zhenfei reached Xincheng Prison, he learned that Tan Shaojie had escaped through the sewer without damaging any prison infrastructure and entirely unbeknownst to the guards.
Hearing this news, Ling Zhenfei was extremely shocked.
You must know that although Xincheng Prison was only built not long ago, its facilities are extremely well equipped, and security is extraordinarily stringent. Electric fences surround the area, making it impossible not just for people to escape but even a fly would find it difficult to get out.
Yet now, Tan Shaojie had actually succeeded in escaping from prison.
"Tan Shaojie must have escaped last night, and according to the prison's surveillance, someone outside was there to pick him up."
While explaining the situation to Ling Zhenfei, Han Lian looked very somber.
Although Tan Shaojie's escape wasn't her responsibility, given his heinous crimes, if he were to get away like this, capturing him again would be as difficult as reaching the heavens!
Ling Zhenfei also received permission to review the prison's surveillance footage.
Even though he didn't spot Tan Shaojie on the cameras, by examining the surveillance video from the past few days altogether, Ling Zhenfei did indeed spot some suspicious individuals.
"We have already released photos of these suspicious individuals nationwide and have bolstered border security, thinking Tan Shaojie is likely still within Binyang and hasn't managed to leave the country."
Seeing Ling Zhenfei's grave expression, Han Lian shared the police's tactics with him.
"Yes, Tan Shaojie escaped last night, he likely hasn't left the country so quickly." Ling Zhenfei said thoughtfully, with a serious face, "I'm wondering, who really helped him escape? Could it be… the drug traffickers from Black Triangle?"
"That's possible," Han Lian nodded, but then quickly shook her head:
"According to our border forces' surveillance of the Black Triangle drug traffickers, we haven't detected any unusual activities. Moreover, since the last attack on the police, the border patrols have intensified. It would be very difficult for those traffickers to infiltrate our borders."
After hearing Han Lian's words, Ling Zhenfei's brows furrowed even tighter.
If it wasn't someone from the Kunze Drug Trafficking Group who had rescued Tan Shaojie, then who actually facilitated his successful escape?
Moreover, if Tan Shaojie hasn't left the country, where could he be hiding now?
These mysteries were still beyond Ling Zhenfei's reach to solve. However, he knew that now that Tan Shaojie was free, if he hadn't left the country, Ling Zhenfei would undoubtedly be the first person he'd want to confront!
Ling Zhenfei was not worried about Tan Shaojie secretly targeting him; what puzzled him the most was, who was secretly helping Tan Shaojie?
Now that Tan Shaojie was free, staying any longer at Xincheng Prison was meaningless for Ling Zhenfei and Han Lian.
After leaving the prison, Han Lian had to organize police forces for a citywide manhunt, while Ling Zhenfei, having no role to play there, could only wait for further news from the police.
Ling Zhenfei went to wait for news alone. Just as he was walking out of an intersection, he suddenly sensed someone following him. He instantly turned around to check.
Strangely enough, although he had clearly felt someone spying on him, when he turned around, he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
He activated his Perspective Divine Eye, but with the street bustling with people, even if someone was tailing him, unless they behaved suspiciously, he would not have noticed.
After scanning the entire street block with the Perspective Eye and finding nothing, Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to hail a taxi and disappeared among the flow of traffic.
Only after Ling Zhenfei's figure had vanished did two people emerge from a restaurant on the southern side of the street.
Both individuals were young. The one in the front looked to be only around seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome but with a stern and expressionless face. He stood with his hands behind his back, eyes unblinkingly fixed on the spot where Ling Zhenfei had disappeared, appearing as impassive as ice unmeltable by even a furnace.
The person standing behind this young man appeared slightly older, but his demeanor toward the younger man in front was extremely deferential.
