However, it was unexpected that such a cruel method would be used by the Young Master as a tool to control his subordinates and block information!

The poison, once bitten into, attacks the heart immediately, and even someone as skilled in Medical Arts as Ling Zhenfei was powerless to reverse it, with no emergency treatment available!

Seeing the sniper die from the poison within seconds filled Ling Zhenfei's heart with an inexplicable sense of fear.

The sniper looked very young, but he preferred death over facing the Young Master's pursuit. This revealed just how terrifying the influence of that mysterious Young Master was!

To expose this would be incredibly difficult!

"Zhenfei, how is it going?"

In the dark night, Ling Zhenfei, staring blankly at the sniper's cold body, saw Han Lian rushing over with a team of SWAT officers. She was also taken aback upon seeing the scene before her.

But now, with the person dead, what else could Han Lian do in her shock? It seemed that Tan Shaojie's murder could only be accounted as an unsolved case by the police!

"Notify the coroner to collect the body! Retreat!"

Having no other choice, Han Lian signaled to her SWAT team members. Although no further progress was made today, and Tan Shaojie was already dead, tonight's operation was clearly much better compared to previous ones without progress.

"Zhenfei, shall we… go back?"

With the body taken away, seeing Ling Zhenfei still standing motionless under the night sky, Han Lian stepped forward and lightly touched his sleeve.

"Ah!"

Ling Zhenfei looked up at the night sky and suddenly sighed, "I am wondering who exactly this Young Master is? How come all the powerful people I can think of seem to be under his control and influence? What are his origins?"

For such a question from Ling Zhenfei, Han Lian had no answer and felt utterly helpless. Similarly, this had been a long-standing doubt in her mind!

Because, in her previous case investigations, she had never heard of the title 'Young Master.' And this person, the Young Master, seemed to have appeared out of nowhere with the emergence of the Chen family!

Regarding Han Lian's silence, Ling Zhenfei did not say anything further.

Because, his question was merely talking to himself. Since he couldn't even provide himself with an answer, how could he expect Han Lian to solve his confusion?

"By the way, Han Lian, how is the investigation on the Chen family case going?"

The two of them stood quietly under the night sky for a while, and Ling Zhenfei, as if remembering something, then asked Han Lian.

"Zhenfei, that is exactly what I wanted to tell you."

Hearing this, Han Lian's brows furrowed tightly, and she said solemnly, "We recently conducted surveillance around Royal No.1 Club and its surrounding areas, and it's strangely discovered that members of the Chen family, who were supposedly hidden there, have suddenly vanished into thin air, completely disappearing!"

"This is something I should have foreseen!"

Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei let out a saddening sigh, "Think about it, how could a person as cunning as the Young Master allow his evidence of crime to be exposed under police surveillance?

Although we currently lack concrete evidence of the Chen family's involvement in human trafficking, a breakthrough will surely come if we keep investigating. Thus, the best strategy for the Young Master was to make the Chen family disappear from the police's sight."

"Ah, we never anticipated that their action would be so swift. Had we known this, we should not have hesitated earlier and should have captured them all!"

After hearing this, Han Lian also sighed in annoyance, "Now, our situation seems very passive, as if we are being led by the nose at every step by the Young Master!"

"Led by the nose? Haha, that's hardly the case!"

Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei let out a cold snort from under his nose and said sternly, "No matter how powerful the Young Master is, he is still human. As long as one is human, there will be flaws. We have plenty of time. As soon as they commit another crime, we can catch them all at once!"

"Yes, Zhenfei, you are right!" Ling Zhenfei's confident words immediately gave Han Lian a great deal of confidence.

She nodded vigorously, "Although there is no information on the Chen family members, Nine Lives Mountain Cat and his Royal No.1 Club are still under our tight surveillance. I believe Nine Lives Mountain Cat has connections with the Young Master too. If he dares to make a move, we can trace it back and get hold of their criminal evidence completely!"

Because of Tan Shaojie's murder, many things had come to an abrupt stop tonight.

Ling Zhenfei was not a police officer; he had no need to get too involved in various case details for long. What he needed to do now was to be cautious of the Young Master and await a real confrontation with him.

After returning from this desolate place, it was already very deep into the night. Ling Zhenfei declined Han Lian's polite offer to have the police send him home. Walking home alone under the cover of night, he pondered over everything that had happened, looking for any possible breakthrough.

Creak!

While he was walking down a street with his head lowered, he suddenly heard a terrifying screech of brakes in the air.

Bang!

Immediately following, a deafening collision sound, like a swift arrow, entered Ling Zhenfei's ears.

Oh no, a car accident!

Hearing this series of sounds, Ling Zhenfei jolted, realizing there had definitely been an accident. He no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly ran toward the site of the accident.

He saw on one side of the street, a white BMW was wrecked completely, while not far away, a dump truck was fleeing in the wrong direction as if it had gone mad.

Obviously, the dump truck had violated traffic rules by driving in the wrong direction, and the driver, in an attempt to escape responsibility, had panicked and run away.

There were no surveillance cameras here. Ling Zhenfei initially wanted to chase after the offending vehicle, but thinking of the injured inside the car and confident that the offending vehicle couldn't escape police pursuit, he chose not to chase.

Nevertheless, the license plate of the offending vehicle did not escape Ling Zhenfei's Perspective Divine Eye!

"Help... help!"

Just as Ling Zhenfei was about to check the situation at the small car, he saw the passenger door being pushed open, and a disheveled, blood-covered woman crawled out of the car, crying out to Ling Zhenfei, "Sir, please, save my husband..."

Though the woman was seriously injured, her injuries were not fatal. Instead of asking Ling Zhenfei to save her first, she knew that her husband, who had been driving, was in critical condition.

Ling Zhenfei stepped forward and, upon seeing the middle-aged man slumped in the driver's seat, could not help but be startled.

Clearly, the middle-aged man had been hit head-on by the dump truck. Three of his ribs were broken, one of which had pierced his chest cavity, narrowly missing his heart.

At that moment, his body was covered with blood, even bleeding profusely from all facial orifices, breathing weakly as death slowly enveloped his life.

"Sir, I beg you, please, quickly save my husband..." As Ling Zhenfei was examining the middle-aged man's injuries, the woman kept pleading with him desperately.
