Ye Chenfeng was filled with all sorts of doubts as he was directly dragged by the woman to a hidden spot. "Phew..." As soon as the woman let go, Ye Chenfeng took a long breath of relief and then exclaimed with surprise, "Officer Chen, I can see it now, you truly like me. It’s so late, and you’re still silently following me!" "Shut your mouth and don’t talk!" Chen Xijun said, huffing with anger. It turned out that the woman was none other than Chen Xijun, who had been clamoring to capture Ye Chenfeng. Ye Chenfeng smiled at the woman who was within arm’s reach and teased, "Are you trying to say kiss me?" "Ye Chenfeng, shut your mouth already, someone is coming!" Chen Xijun wished she could seal this guy’s lips shut. ... "Where did they go? How did they suddenly disappear?" "Yeah, that presence is gone, too?" Liang Hongjun, Fu Shiyin, and a few others reached the alley but saw no one. "This person’s speed is too fast, a rarity in my life, we can’t catch up at all!" Liang Hongjun said. Fu Shiyin nodded thoughtfully, "That’s right, for safety’s sake, let’s go back for now. This case is too thorny. We’ll wait for Elder Gu to arrive, then decide!" Hearing about Elder Gu, Liang Hongjun’s face changed slightly, a clear flicker of displeasure in his eyes, but he still agreed with Fu Shiyin. "Okay!" Following that, the members of Six Fan Sect left. Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a high-rise building in Jiangnan, a dark figure stood against the wind, a pair of cold eyes seemingly despising and overseeing the entire Jiangnan. Half of his face was covered by a golden beast mask. "It actually failed! Ye Chenfeng, this was merely a welcome gift from the Crown Prince, we have a long way to go! Hehe..." A terrifying voice came out of his mouth, sending shivers down spines. ... "The people are gone, Officer Chen, do you know them?" After a while, Ye Chenfeng asked. Chen Xijun nodded, "Yes, I know them. Ye Chenfeng, do you realize you were almost framed tonight?" Ye Chenfeng looked surprised, "I was framed?" "Yes, the eight people causing trouble in the Chu Corporation today, after they interacted with you at the bar tonight, were murdered without cause, and their deaths were horrific—something I’ve never seen before in my life," Chen Xijun said seriously. Sensing a hint of conspiracy, Ye Chenfeng asked, but his face remained jesting, "Then why don’t you suspect me this time, Officer Chen? I seem to have the biggest motive, right?" "I’ve always been clear about right and wrong. If it was you, it was you; if it wasn’t, even if you put a knife to my throat, I wouldn’t say it was you!" said Chen Xijun. Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but think highly of this girl, and then he asked seriously, "Who were those four just now?" "Members from the Six Fan Sect in the Capital City." "Six Fan Sect? Interesting. Do we also have the Imperial Secret Police or something? It’s like something out of a time travel story!" Ye Chenfeng chuckled. In fact, he was quite familiar with the Six Fan Sect, having heard about them during his time serving in the army in the Divine Land. The Six Fan Sect is one of the two major mysterious organizations in the Divine Land, housing not only the Four Great Divine Capturers with outstanding martial skills but also all sorts of extraordinary individuals. In short, they were beyond common people’s understanding. At the same time, Ye Chenfeng also understood the ins and outs of the situation: someone had killed those eight thugs, the people from Six Fan Sect were investigating, and the murderer led them here. And he just so happened to be attracted to this place by the murderer. If he continued to follow the script set by the murderer, he would encounter the people from Six Fan Sect and would be directly apprehended. Today, I had contact with those eight hooligans twice, so I’m the one with the biggest suspicion. Being caught by the Six Fan Sect would likely mean that everything related to Tianhua Villa and my past will be thoroughly investigated, and this murder charge might as well be confirmed on me. Such a venomous scheme! Being played like a monkey, Ye Chenfeng was more than just angry. But, out of nowhere, Chen Xijun came along and saved me, foiling the other party’s plot. "Why did you help me?" Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were clear, his lips curved into a smile as warm as sunlight, causing Chen Xijun’s cheeks to heat up unexpectedly. "I..."NovelFire Chen Xijun found herself unable to articulate a reason. "Captain Chen, I knew you liked me. Otherwise, why would a young lady wander about instead of sleeping in the middle of the night!" Ye Chenfeng said. Chen Xijun was both embarrassed and anxious: "Ye Chenfeng, don’t talk nonsense, I certainly don’t like you. Besides, you already have a wife, I would never be someone’s mistress!" "Oh?" Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng’s eyes brightened, as he stared intently at Chen Xijun: "So you’re saying if I were single, you’d want to marry me?" "Don’t even think about it! Even if I were to marry, I would absolutely not marry a rogue like you!" Chen Xijun glared at him. Ye Chenfeng’s expression turned serious, and he began to ask earnestly, "Then do you know who the murderer is?" "I don’t know, but it’s definitely not you!" Chen Xijun said with conviction. Ye Chenfeng smacked his forehead: "Nonsense, of course it’s not me. I was asking if you noticed any distinctive features of the murderer, or what was the state of the victim?" "I could have taken you to see the body directly, but unfortunately, the case has now been taken over by the Six Fan Sect! I can only give you a rough description of the victim’s condition..." Chen Xijun detailed the situation of the victim to Ye Chenfeng. Ye Chenfeng nodded thoughtfully: "First, the murderer undoubtedly used a long knife or sword. Judging from the arrangement of the eight bodies you described, it must be the left hand, no doubt, striking with a lift and then a stab..." "How do you know he used his left hand?" Chen Xijun exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Ye Chenfeng. "That was just a guess, I would have to see the body to be sure!" Ye Chenfeng said. Chen Xijun nodded: "If I get the chance, I’ll take you to see the body. Wait for my call!" "Sure!" Ye Chenfeng readily agreed. Now that someone was trying to frame him, he had to find the real culprit. Suddenly, Chen Xijun looked at him with a mysterious smile, making Ye Chenfeng feel a little creeped out, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Ye Chenfeng, how are you so familiar with police procedures? Just what is your identity?" "Aren’t I just a logistics soldier who feeds pigs? I’ve just read too many detective novels, that’s all!" Ye Chenfeng shrugged it off with a weak excuse. The next day. A line of cars was neatly arranged at the entrance of Chu Corporation, ready for the convoy to depart. "Where is Ye Chenfeng? Where is the security team?" Chu Qingxue had been waiting a long time for Ye Chenfeng to appear and dialed his number. But just like he had vanished, he didn’t pick up the call. Although the phone wasn’t answered, suddenly there was a series of striking footsteps, as resounding as a military parade, the kind of sound produced by marching in exact step. "Look!" Someone shouted, and everyone looked towards the gate in unison. They saw a squad of spirited security guards, marching in a tight formation with a powerful momentum, approaching rapidly.
