Ling Zhenfei, wearing a mask, was observing everyone's expression, seeking to discern something from each face.

Someone inside let out a heart-wrenching scream, followed by Long Hai shouting from inside, "Come quickly, this kid is about to confess."

Upon hearing this, the investigative team was startled, realizing that the subject had barely held out for a short time before he was ready to confess; probably the poison was too potent even for Iron Bull People to withstand.

Just then, the sound of a car engine starting was heard, followed by the sight of the recently repaired car suddenly starting up and speeding off towards the distance.

The investigative team was shocked, not understanding what had happened; they were all on the ground, how could the car move on its own?

"Quick, come back, we haven't boarded yet."

"Don't go!"

Everyone was stunned, but Ling Zhenfei laughed. This was exactly what he wanted. There was no poison, nor was there any confession from Oxhead and Horseface. He had simply wanted to use this method to flush out the traitor within the investigative team. Unexpectedly, it had actually worked.

Needless to say, the person trying to escape by car was definitely the mole within the team; there's no denying it. If not a mole, who else would flee during a criminal's confession?

Ling Zhenfei's figure flickered, his movements as swift as a darting rabbit, as he chased after the car.

The Iveco vehicle was heavy and didn't pick up speed quickly. Ling Zhenfei, fast as lightning, quickly caught up with the car.

Thump!

He threw a punch that penetrated the driver's cabin's glass and struck the driver's face. The punch was delivered with perfectly measured force, knocking the person inside unconscious.

The car lost power and came to a stop. At this moment, the people from the investigative team all surrounded it; although they were unaware of the plan between Ling Zhenfei and Long Hai, they knew something was amiss when the suspect tried to escape amid a confession.

Long Hai also came out, pulled open the car door, and the unconscious person inside was the driver; it appeared that the driver was the mole, which made sense—only the driver had the keys to the car and the means to escape.

If Ling Zhenfei had not been there, the driver would have certainly fled; no one could catch up with the speed of the car.

"It's really unexpected, that this kid turned out to be the mole, what a pity," Long Hai shook his head in disbelief.

Not just Long Hai, the surrounding members of the investigative team were also amazed. The driver had been with the team for many years and was originally one of their own. He was timid; it was unexpected that he would commit such betrayal.

"Mission accomplished, thank you so much, you've really helped us out again," Long Hai expressed his gratitude to Ling Zhenfei once more.

"You've come to Binyang, and the situation is quite tricky. If there's anything I can help with in the future, give me a call. I'll definitely assist whenever possible," Ling Zhenfei responded.

"Absolutely, with an expert like you around, our trip to Binyang should be very smooth," Long Hai was confident.

Oxhead and Horseface were brought out again; in fact, the two had not taken any medicine at all. They were only subjected to Ling Zhenfei's control over their laughter acupoints, causing constant laughter. Ling Zhenfei had also activated several other acupoints, causing pain whenever they laughed, which explained their agony.

Not long after, the meet-up personnel from Binyang arrived by car. Ling Zhenfei said his goodbyes to Long Hai as the task was completed, and it was time for him to leave.

It was already very late, and at this moment, he wasn't even sure where he should go. Should he really go to Liu Bingying's place?

To be honest, Ling Zhenfei really wanted to see Liu Bingying. Having not seen her for so many days, he felt a bit hollow inside. Thinking of Liu Bingying's smile warmed his heart.

Ling Zhenfei shook his head vigorously, wondering what was wrong with him, how could such a thing happen, was he bewitched by Liu Bingying? For a cultivator like him, this truly shouldn't be the case.

Realizing how late it had gotten, he decided to just go to the ornamental fish base and make do for a day. The base had several new faces, it seemed Fatty had recruited more people, which was necessary for such a big base.

Taking lesson from the previous incident of poisoning, to his surprise, two young men were on duty late at this hour at the ornamental fish base. Although Ling Zhenfei had never met these young men, they recognized him, probably having seen his photos before.

The two young men even thought Ling Zhenfei was there to inspect them, repeatedly stating they hadn't slept and had been vigilant all along, fearing he would find fault with them.

Ling Zhenfei told them not to worry too much, and if they were tired, they could take turns sleeping.

Too sleepy to care much, he went to sleep. The next morning, he was woken up by a phone call, and upon picking it up, saw it was from Yang Zixuan.

Ling Zhenfei was initially startled. He and Yang Zixuan hadn't met for a long time. Yang Zixuan worked at Lin's Group and because of his influence, seemed to have become a manager of a department. Since Lin Yuluo had left, he had no ties with Lin's Group, let alone meeting Yang Zixuan.

"Zi Xuan, hello."

"Big Brother Ling, have you forgotten me? Why haven't you called me in such a long time?" Zi Xuan's voice came slightly resentful over the phone.

"How could I forget my sister Zi Xuan? It's just that I've been a bit busy recently and couldn't manage everything. I've been very concerned about you, and I even heard that you were promoted."

"That's old news. Anyway, are you free today? I want to meet you."

"Today sounds good, I'm free. Is there something you need?"

"Can't I see you if there's no issue? Peninsula Coffee, I'll wait for you." After saying that, Yang Zixuan hung up the phone.

Ling Zhenfei understood that Yang Zixuan definitely had something to ask of him. He knew her well enough; she wouldn't arrange to meet him like this without a reason.

After freshening up, Ling Zhenfei took a taxi to Peninsula Coffee.

In the city, there were many Peninsula Coffee shops, but Ling Zhenfei knew that Yang Zixuan must be referring to the one located under Lin's Group because they used to go there for coffee when they worked together, which could be said to hold memories of them both.

As soon as he walked into the coffee shop, Ling Zhenfei saw Yang Zixuan sitting by the window, alone and leaning against the glass, looking desolately, which was quite heart-wrenching.

He knew Yang Zixuan very well, just like him, she was a child from a rural family, who came alone to Binyang for university, and then struggled alone in the city, which was certainly not easy.

"Zi Xuan!"

"Big Brother Ling!" Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, the previously melancholic Yang Zixuan suddenly became happy and threw herself into Ling Zhenfei's arms.

Ling Zhenfei was slightly surprised. The Yang Zixuan of the past was very shy, and she would never do something like throwing herself into his arms in public.
