Late at night, the sound of police sirens echoed through the old town district. Several police cars rushed to a narrow alley, and armed officers swiftly jumped out of the vehicles, surrounding a dilapidated house in front.

Bang!

Loli, with a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, kicked open the decrepit door in front and led the team inside.

Under the beam of the flashlight, they could clearly see Hong Jinmao lying motionless in a pool of blood. He had conspicuous bleeding wounds on his body and thigh, and blood was still gushing out. It looked like he had been tortured badly.

"Search the area!" Loli ordered, then quickly walked over, squatted down, and checked Hong Jinmao's pulse with her hand.

Fortunately, he was still alive!

Loli turned her head and instructed, "Quickly call an ambulance."

While waiting for the ambulance, Loli made a phone call to Lin Fan, informing him of Hong Jinmao's condition.

Lin Fan said, "It seems like it's the latter scenario I mentioned. This woman is also looking for Ye Tianyu. She has likely coerced Ye Tianyu's whereabouts out of him and has probably already set off."

Loli asked, "Have you found any trace of Ye Tianyu?"

Lin Fan replied, "It's late at night, so it's more challenging. But don't worry, I'm still tracking him."

Loli said, "Alright, be careful. That woman is very formidable..."

After hanging up, Loli immediately made another call, "Captain Yang, there's a suspect in the Ye Tianyu case who might be leaving the city. I need colleagues responsible for blocking to intercept her. She's a woman in traditional clothing, masked, with excellent skills and extremely dangerous. Be cautious if you encounter her..."

The ambulance arrived as quickly as possible, and the doctors and nurses came in.

Loli said, "He is a suspect. See if you can wake him up now. I have questions for him."

Loli wanted to ask Hong Jinmao about Ye Tianyu's whereabouts. The masked woman was also looking for Ye Tianyu, and under these circumstances, Hong Jinmao was likely to confess.

The doctor checked the situation and said, "The injured party is in critical condition and shouldn't be awakened now. We must perform emergency treatment first."

Upon hearing this, Loli had no choice. If Hong Jinmao died, it would be even more troublesome, so she had to let the doctors carry on with the emergency treatment.

Loli couldn't help but think of Lin Fan. If only Lin Fan were here. Lin Fan had astonishing medical skills; that day when Zhong Huofang stabbed Niu the Sixth, Niu the Sixth nearly died, but Lin Fan easily saved him.

If Lin Fan were here, he should be able to wake Hong Jinmao at the quickest speed.

Now, she could only pray that Lin Fan's insight, as extraordinary as his medical skills, would help him find Ye Tianyu before the masked woman did.

The Ye Tianyu case was becoming increasingly convoluted. Why exactly did Ye Tianyu run away, who was the masked woman, and why was she looking for Ye Tianyu? Most astonishing of all, whether Ye Tianyu, Hong Jinmao, or the masked woman, none of them were ordinary people; they were martial artists!

Loli had never encountered so many martial artists in a single day before and had a bad premonition.

Outside Yun City, in the suburbs, in a remote village.

In a house, Ye Tianyu was resting on the bed, while a young man dressed bizarrely was sitting cross-legged on the floor, meditating, resembling a Taoist priest practicing.

Ye Tianyu glanced at the young man, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something but ultimately didn't, seemingly afraid to disturb the other party.

The young man also ignored him, and the house was exceedingly quiet.

Feeling bored, Ye Tianyu thought that perhaps tonight would pass just like this and decided to close his eyes and sleep.

After some time, suddenly, there was the sound of a vehicle driving outside, and the headlights shone through the house's windows.

Ye Tianyu sat up abruptly, looking alarmed. Why would a car come here this late?

The young man sitting on the floor opened his eyes at this time. Although he didn't stand up, his ears twitched, clearly listening to the sounds outside.

"Stay here and don't move; I'll go meet them," the young man said to Ye Tianyu and then stood up.

This was a small farmhouse made of red bricks, not very big, with just one door and one window. Originally a place for villagers to store crops, Hong Jinmao had rented it from them early for today.

The young man went over, opened the door, and walked out.

"Is Ye Tianyu in there? Hand Ye Tianyu over to me!" a voice shouted harshly, evidently addressing the young man.

The young man surprisingly replied honestly, "He's inside."

"Kid, don't court death, get aside. We only want Ye Tianyu!" the voice warned the young man.

However...

In the next second.

"Ah!"

With screams erupting, followed by more distressing cries, these sounds were especially horrifying deep into the night.

In just a matter of moments.

The door was pushed open; the young man appeared at the doorway and said to an astonished Ye Tianyu, "It seems Hong Jinmao has exposed our whereabouts. We should leave."

Ye Tianyu's expression changed. How could this be? However, he didn't dare defy the young man's words, so he got out of bed and followed him outside.

Outside, two SUVs were parked, their headlights illuminating the farmhouse courtyard brightly. The car doors were open, but there was no one in either vehicle.

Those who had been in the two cars were now lying on the ground, bodies scattered all around!

Ye Tianyu immediately noticed these people lying on the ground, scattered in disarray, motionless, dead beyond a doubt.

Oh my God.

Ye Tianyu was greatly startled, astounded by the young man's swift and ruthless handling of all these individuals within such a short span—leaving no chance of survival!

Recognizing a few of the fallen as skilled martial artists he was acquainted with, Ye Tianyu was aware that they were quite capable fighters!

Yet none escaped; in an instant, they were dispatched by the young man.

After overcoming his initial shock, Ye Tianyu couldn't help but feel a surge of joy, nearly breaking into laughter. This young man was incredibly powerful! The stronger he was, the better—having him around was reassuring.

"Can you drive?"

The young man looked back at Ye Tianyu.

Suppressing his excitement, Ye Tianyu replied, "Yes."

The young man said, "You drive then."

They both quickly got into one of the SUVs, closed the doors, and then drove away from the farmhouse courtyard.

At the scene, there was only one car and several bodies left sprawled on the ground; the situation could only be described as tragic.

Who would have imagined that this quiet young man was such a ruthless character?

Half an hour later.

Two figures appeared at the farmhouse courtyard; leading them was a woman in a traditional dress, exuding gracefulness, with her face masked. A man followed behind her.

Upon entering, they were met with the ghastly scene. The masked woman frowned slightly.

"Damn!" the man exclaimed, quickly walking over to inspect the situation. He raised his head and said, "All dead, damn, it's brutal!"

The masked woman said coldly, "It's them!"
