The three people and one tiger finally managed to hail a car by the roadside.

There's no denying the allure of a beautiful woman.

Yang Yan had been flagging down cars for a long time, but no one paid him any attention.

Finally, a car stopped, with a woman inside who threw him a flirtatious glance.

If Yang Yan had been alone, he naturally wouldn't have hesitated.

But now, with Zhou Hanyun and Zhou Hanyu by his side, he had to sternly refuse her offer.

Ultimately, it was the charming Zhou Hanyu who managed to successfully hail a car.

Once they entered the city, the driver shamelessly slipped his phone number into Zhou Hanyu's hand.

The trio and their tiger got out and, after waiting for over ten minutes, finally managed to switch to a taxi.

Upon returning to the apartment, they checked their phones and saw it was already 11 PM.

Zhou Hanyu took a quick shower and then headed to her bedroom with Nine Treasures, who originally wanted to sleep with Yang Yan.

Zhou Hanyun looked at Yang Yan, and Yang Yan looked at Zhou Hanyun, neither saying a word.

Finally, Zhou Hanyun broke the silence.

"Well, it's been a long day for you too, get some rest!"

"Alright."

Yang Yan nodded.

The two shared a tacit understanding, neither choosing to bring up what happened that night.

Yang Yan didn't know where to start, and Zhou Hanyun wasn't sure how to bring it up.

She felt that when the time was right, Yang Yan would naturally say what he could tell her.

Asking him now would only make things awkward.

Even though she was very eager to know everything about him.

While the three of them went to rest,

Lion King and Dog King were already investigating and cleaning up Yang Yan's battlefield.

"The battle seemed intense, but it was all one-sided play. Even the final blow was. A swift and decisive strike, leaving no traces behind. The cause of death is unknown; apart from what looks like boxing injuries, there are no visible wounds on the body."

Dog King carefully examined everything and summarized his findings.

"That's impossible! He certainly should have used Star Night tonight. Such a phenomenon matches perfectly with the intel we have on Star Night occurrences. Are you sure there are no wounds on these three bodies?"

Lion King asked.

This matter pertains to the expertise of the Dog Division, and Dog King is the expert among experts. He preferred to rely on the expert judgment.

"Report! Another body was found on the faraway mountain, with a cause of death identical to these three."

At that moment, a member of the Dog Division reported new findings.

"Let's go have a look."

Lion King quickly said to Dog King.

"Alright! You guys collect their DNA and compare it. I need to know where they came from, especially since they're carrying these heavy weapons. Huaxia has always been a forbidden zone for mercenaries, and it will continue to be so in the future!"

Dog King harshly instructed his subordinates.

When Lion King and Dog King arrived at the location of the fourth body, both furrowed their brows even deeper.

"This spot is about a kilometer away from the main battlefield. This guy was a sniper, a very skilled one at that. All the weapons nearby are top-notch, and some items we can't even identify. The bullets he used have never appeared in any present-world warfare—I've only identified this one as high-frequency armor-piercing rounds; the others are unknown to me."

A Dog Division member reported the findings.

This member is a professional weapon expert, proficient in over four hundred types of firearms.

Even he had never seen such bullets.

"These are high-frequency explosive rounds, a new invention from the United States, classified as S-level confidential. Huaxia was aware through special channels during their development but never acquired the actual items. This should mark their first combat appearance."

Dog King's eyes burned as he spoke about the found half-box of high-frequency explosive rounds.

He gave a subtle nod to the person next to him, who quickly stored the remaining three high-frequency explosive rounds in a secure case.

"How did this man die?"

Dog King asked again.

"Unclear. There are no visible injuries or signs of poisoning, and it's not a suicide. Site analysis suggests he was preparing to flee, as his weapons were packed and the direction was toward the other side of the mountain. Two teams have already gone to check if there's anything else to discover."

The Dog Division member immediately replied.

"Looking at this, it must have been Star Night at work."

Lion King said solemnly.

"Star Night is a saber, right? This place is over a kilometer away from the main battlefield. Did that man get instantly teleported and killed here?"

The Dog Division member, clearly someone who likes to get to the bottom of things, asked with a frown.

"Under Star Night, there's nowhere to hide! Anywhere the starlight reaches is within Star Night's attack range. This man was indeed killed by Star Night! Of this, I'm completely sure."

"Now, our question is, how did Star Night, or rather Yang Yan, kill them? There are no wounds on the bodies, including those three men. We must figure this out!"

Dog King said solemnly, essentially giving directives to those below.

"Report, the team that went out to investigate found a car without license plates at the foot of the mountain. The vehicle contains numerous contraband items."

Another Dog Division member reported.

"No doubt! This person was trying to escape, but what method did Yang Yan use to kill him from a kilometer away? Their target should be the Zhou sisters. Otherwise, would just four people dare to target Yang Yan? They must have a death wish!"

Lion King glanced at the sniper's body on the ground and shook his head with a slight annoyance.

"No, that's not right!" Dog King shook his head, "If their goal was solely the Zhou sisters, this wouldn't be so professional. They should be after Yang Yan but didn't investigate properly; they must all belong to that organization."

"In Huaxia, any mercenary and assassin organizations are prohibited entry. Otherwise, the Dragon King would have a 'chat' with them. These individuals likely exist between the Hidden World and the present world. Hidden World members would never act so recklessly."

Dog King detailed his reasoning.

That was his forte.

Lion King thought for a moment, nodding heavily, then instructed the surrounding Eight Divisions members:

"Bring back the bodies of these four and have the Cat Division investigate. First, we need to find out exactly how they died.

Second, I want to know if it is true that Star Night has an attack range wherever the starlight shines."

"Third, investigate how these guys got in and who hired them."

"Fourth, and most importantly, from now on, no member of the Eight Divisions is allowed to have direct conflict with Yang Yan and those near him."

Dog King was unbothered by Lion King overstepping his boundaries.

He furrowed his brows for a while, then suddenly said anxiously:

"If Star Night indeed has an unlimited attack range under the starlight, our plans will become much less complicated if he cooperates with us. Why not just ask him directly? Perhaps he would tell us outright. Secretly investigating his abilities, won't that risk angering him?"
