He lifted He’s hand, looked at the two fingers that were swollen like sausages, and twisted them with force.

Squeals akin to a pig being slaughtered echoed throughout the forest, the agonizing sound startling Luo Weiwei from afar, who hurried over in alarm.

He Haodong convulsed in pain.

Having had his fingers broken by Ye Xiong yesterday, he had suffered through the night and had been given several doses of anesthetic before the pain subsided. Even now, the pain had just eased slightly.

The reason he had rushed over was to torture Ye Xiong thoroughly, to avenge the fingers he had lost the day before.

He had spent a fortune hiring so many assassins, and even the elites of the XiBei Guild had emerged in full force. Plus, with the warning from Chen Han that Ye Xiong’s leg was broken, he thought that even if Ye Xiong had the ability to reach the sky, the only path left for him would be death.

He could never have imagined that Ye Xiong’s leg was not broken at all, but merely a feint.

What truly frightened him was Ye Xiong’s strength. Facing dozens of assassins, Ye Xiong resembled Reaper returning from Hell, demolishing the numerous assassins effortlessly, leaving them without the ability to even resist.

Only now did he realize that the Ye Xiong of the past had never exerted his full strength.

What he had just shown was his true power.

He Haodong had a deathly pallor, in agony that felt like death and resurrection combined.

“I told you yesterday, if you provoke me again, I would make you disappear from this world. It seems you’ve forgotten,” said Ye Xiong, drawing his dagger.

He Haodong, truly afraid, exclaimed, “You can’t kill me, if you do, the He Family won’t let you go, and the Situ Family from Kyoto won’t either.”

“The Situ Family, Situ Weiguo?” A hint of surprise showed in Ye Xiong’s eyes.

“That’s right, the famous Situ Family of Kyoto. Our Yang Family is their associate. If you kill me, they will definitely not let you off,” He Haodong urged urgently.

“The Situ Family, they’re not even on my radar,” Ye Xiong said as he drew out his knife, Aloof, and stepped closer.

“Please, I beg you, don’t kill me,” He Haodong knelt on the ground, desperately kowtowing.

Unfortunately for him, Ye Xiong’s intent to kill was resolute; his hand rose and the knife fell.

“Ye Xiong, stop,” Luo Weiwei called out urgently.

Seeing Luo Weiwei, He Haodong grasped at her as if she were a lifeline, pleading, “Officer Luo, I beg you, let him not kill me. Spare me, and I will tell you a shocking secret.”

“What secret?” Luo Weiwei asked, curious.

“Aren’t you curious why so many children have disappeared from Jiangnan City and why they cannot be found no matter how much one investigates? Who captured them, where they went, whether they’re still alive, don’t you want to know?”

“You know?” Luo Weiwei was immediately very excited.

As a detective in Jiangnan City, the missing children case was her biggest concern and the most important matter at hand. Despite her prolonged investigation, she had found no trace whatsoever and had even been targeted for assassination several times.

Because of this case, she had even fallen out with her own father, Luo Guozhong.

Despite facing various hardships, Luo Weiwei had chosen to stay on.

One could say that the missing children case had become an ailment of her heart, the most important issue in her life at this stage.

“Of course, I know…”

Bang!

A bullet shot out from the woods, hitting He Haodong precisely in the head, bursting open like a flower on his skull.

Danger!

Ye Xiong pounced, tackling Luo Weiwei to the ground.

After a while, when the two got up, He Haodong lay in a pool of blood beside them, deader than dead.

“Damn it,” Luo Weiwei clenched her fists tightly.

Just when she had obtained a little clue, He Haodong was unexpectedly assassinated.

She had just decided to pursue when Ye Xiong grabbed her and said, “Don’t chase after them, going there like this is just asking to be killed.”

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Luo Weiwei knew what he said was true.

“Who on earth killed He Haodong? Could it possibly be related to the missing children case?” Luo Weiwei asked doubtfully.

“How would I know?” Ye Xiong shrugged his shoulders.

“Ye Xiong, can you help? Find out who is the mastermind behind the missing children. Recently, more children have disappeared. If this continues, more and more families will be shattered.”

Today, Luo Weiwei had thoroughly witnessed Ye Xiong’s ferocity.

On his own, without a gun, he had taken down dozens of horrific assassins. His strength was the most formidable she had ever seen in a man. If he was willing to help, the chances of solving the case would increase significantly.

Ye Xiong was suddenly silent.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help, but the matter was definitely not that simple.

Lately, Phoenix had been appearing frequently in Jiangnan City. Aside from wanting to persuade him to rejoin the team, another possible mission of hers was to investigate the missing children.

There was also Vermilion Bird; on the surface, she stayed in the hotel to monitor him, but she often disappeared without a trace, possibly on other assignments.

If Dragon Soul’s team leader Phoenix and team member Vermilion Bird hadn’t figured it out after so long, the situation was definitely not simple.

Seeing him hesitate, Luo Weiwei, as if she had made a significant decision, said, “Just help me solve the missing children case, and I promise I’ll agree to your request.”

“What request?” Ye Xiong asked curiously.

Seeing Luo Weiwei’s face turn red, Ye Xiong suddenly understood.

When Luo Weiwei asked for his help at the police station, he had made an indecent proposal, to have her choose between seven nights or stay at the Home Inn with him for one night.

At the time, it was just a joke. He didn’t expect this girl to take it seriously.

Does she really think I am that shameless?

“I was just joking at the time,” Ye Xiong scratched his head and smiled.

“Do you agree or not?” Luo Weiwei continued to ask.

“I can help you look into it, but you have to agree to one of my conditions,” Ye Xiong said, becoming serious.

“What condition?”

“Starting tomorrow, don’t investigate the missing children case anymore. Hand all the related materials to me.”

The death of He Haodong today made Ye Xiong subconsciously feel that behind the missing children was a huge entity, involving people who were definitely too formidable for Luo Weiwei to handle. If she continued digging, there would only be a dead end for her.

“I want to investigate with you,” Luo Weiwei said.

“No,” Ye Xiong flatly refused.

“Why won’t you let me investigate further?” Luo Weiwei couldn’t help asking.

She could understand her father forbidding her from continuing the investigation because he feared for her safety, but why wouldn’t Ye Xiong allow it? Was it because he cared about her?

Thinking this, Luo Weiwei’s face flushed slightly.

“Because I care about you!”

Ye Xiong said earnestly, “You’re so weak, if you kick the bucket halfway, then whom am I going to take to a hotel room after completing the task? Wouldn’t all my efforts be wasted?”

“Get lost!” Luo Weiwei roared.
