"Alright, it's none of your business who it is, I'll handle what comes next."

Yang Yan didn't tell the male police officer to avoid further complications.

After all, should he just directly say it was the Island Country's Ghost King, Jiutun Tongzi?

The officer would probably just think he was crazy.

"Listen! Every citizen has an obligation to cooperate with our investigations. If you know who did it, you have to tell us. Otherwise, we'll have to take you in for questioning."

The male officer became anxious, and his tone turned somewhat unfriendly.

"Huang Bo, watch your attitude! Mr. Yang is the expert I invited, not a suspect."

Xia Bing was startled and sternly reprimanded the male officer.

"But Captain Xia… he says he knows who did it but still won't tell us."

The male officer retorted indignantly.

"Huang Bo, say no more. Mr. Yang says it's none of our concern, then it's really none of our concern. Don't be petty!"

At some point, Liu Jun and several detectives quietly walked in.

"Captain Liu, why are you all here?"

The male officer was somewhat surprised to see the newcomers.

"Mr. Yang is here, so we came to see if he has any solutions. However, since Mr. Yang says he'll handle it, let's leave it to him!"

Liu Jun said seriously.

He understood that since Yang Yan was involved, this matter was beyond the capabilities of ordinary detectives.

Just as Huang Bo was about to say something else, the others began to echo.

"It's best if Mr. Yang takes action."

"Yeah, yeah! As long as Mr. Yang is on the case, that guy won't escape!"

"So Huang Bo, don't say any more, just wait for the result."

...

With everyone chiming in like this, Huang Bo had to swallow back what he was going to say.

In front of these people, he was the junior with the lowest rank, so he couldn't say anything more when everyone had spoken.

At this time, Chen Shiyu was already sound asleep.

Since that incident happened, she had never slept so peacefully.

Every time she closed her eyes, the image of that demonic figure appeared in her mind.

"When she wakes up, take her to the Prosperous Court. I live in room number one. If you're not sure, just ask security."

"Here's the key, just go there directly. I'm heading out to trace that guy's whereabouts. Hopefully, I can catch him soon and give the victims an explanation!"

After saying so, Yang Yan handed Xia Bing a key and then turned and left the room.

Upon leaving the hospital, Yang Yan took out his phone and called Jianghai, saying he wanted to find the Lion King.

With such a big commotion in East Sea City, the Eight Divisions couldn't possibly be unaware.

Since that guy had been committing crimes with impunity for such a long time, it only proved that there was also a problem with the Eight Divisions.

In less than five minutes, Jianghai drove up to the hospital entrance.

After Yang Yan got in the car, they drove towards the suburbs.

On the way, Jianghai didn't speak to Yang Yan, and Yang Yan didn't ask if anything was wrong with the Eight Divisions.

They drove in silence for a full two hours before the car stopped outside the gates of a villa.

Someone checked Jianghai's identification and let them pass.

"Mr. Yang, the Lion King is inside. You can go in alone. I won't accompany you."

After speaking, Jianghai turned and walked away.

Yang Yan opened the villa door; it was quite normally furnished, at least on the surface, similar to other villas.

But knowing who Yang Yan was,

he could see the anomalies at a glance.

Yang Yan walked toward a mirror, clearly about to bump into it, but continued without stopping.

However, when his body overlapped with the mirror, there was no sound of shattering—he simply walked into it.

The world inside the mirror was vast, at least several times larger than the outside.

It resembled a military camp, with many people training on the grounds.

Their training, unlike that of ordinary soldiers, included spitting fireballs and manipulating metal to attack targets.

"Lord Moonlight, please follow me."

A female officer, looking smart in her military uniform, approached and saluted Yang Yan, speaking respectfully.

Yang Yan didn't ask how she knew him, just nodded slightly and followed her inside.

As they walked, many cast puzzled glances at Yang Yan.

They evidently didn't know who Yang Yan was.

Moreover, from their perception, Yang Yan was just an ordinary person.

An unfamiliar ordinary person appearing here and receiving such high-level reception left them utterly bewildered.

"What do you think? This is the East Sea War Zone, the Lion Division's training base. What do you think?"

The Lion King smiled as soon as he saw Yang Yan.

Yang Yan glanced at the Lion King and then said with some surprise:

"You're crippled?"

Upon hearing Yang Yan's words, the Lion King waved the female officer away.

She nodded, turned to leave, and closed the door behind her.

The Lion King then smiled wryly and said,

"I fought a battle with Jiutun Tongzi, and this is the result. No doubt about it, that Ghost King from the Island Country is indeed quite powerful. Many members of the Lion Division died by his hand."

"They've already sent someone to take over my position, probably arriving today. This will be my last time looking at this place."

Listening to the Lion King's words, Yang Yan didn't know what to say.

No wonder Jianghai hadn't spoken while bringing him here—they must have known the Lion King was in trouble.

Seeing Yang Yan remain silent, the Lion King continued with a bitter laugh,

"I have been a soldier most of my life; I imagined dying in battle but never thought I'd retire like this. Though I'm reluctant, there's nothing I can do. This is fate."

"The Lion King is the strongest in the Lion Division, yet I've lost my teeth and claws. I'm not fit to stay in the Lion Division any longer."

Hearing the Lion King's tone of a hero in twilight, Yang Yan also felt a pang of emotion.

"What will you do next? You can't just retire, can you?"

The Lion King smiled and shook his head, a glimmer of fighting spirit returning to his eyes:

"How could I! Though I'm crippled now, I'll still fight alongside the Eight Divisions. While I've stepped back from the frontline, I still have the vision and experience accumulated over the years. I'll be a consultant for the Dog Division."

Yang Yan nodded but said nothing.

"Since my old partner was destroyed, I knew I might follow soon. But surprisingly this time, I survived, and for that, I'm very grateful."

The Lion King added.
