Ling Zhenfei stepped out of the corridor, knowing that it was all over. There would be no more Imperial Palace Club, no more Jianghu Pursuit Orders, and no foreign assassins coming to kill him. He really hoped it would all end quickly; he was not so much afraid as he was worried about losing, just like how he had lost Zhuo Yue.

One could say that Zhuo Yue's death was an eternal pain in Ling Zhenfei's heart. Putting his loved ones in danger—this was something that truly could not be done again in the future.

By now, dawn was breaking, and a white glow could be vaguely seen in the sky to the East. It seemed as if the sun would rise soon. Unexpectedly, he had stayed the whole night; it truly felt like a lifetime had passed.

Heading off into the distance, he quickly arrived at Long Hai's location. Long Hai was looking around, apparently worried about Ling Zhenfei's safety. Seeing Ling Zhenfei, he walked up to him with great joy.

"Zhenfei, you've come back safely."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's safe, I guess. How about it, did you find any valuable leads in those computers?"

Disappointed, Long Hai shook his head and said, "There are some transaction records, but there are no names. They've all been replaced with codes. Trying to prove Zhou Yang's connection to the Imperial Palace Club like this feels a bit far-fetched."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Don't worry, I have something good for you, I guarantee that there will be clues."

While saying this, a hard drive appeared in Ling Zhenfei's hand, "This disk is from the computer in the manager's office of the Imperial Palace Club. I think what you're looking for is all here."

Overjoyed, Long Hai quickly took it and gave Ling Zhenfei a big hug, saying, "I knew you could do it, I really didn't misjudge you."

"If you can only settle Zhou Yang's guilt quickly and wipe out the Imperial Palace Club in one swoop, I'll be completely satisfied. As long as the Imperial Palace Club isn't brought to justice and Feng Kai and Zhu Qiang aren't arrested, my heart will never be at ease."

Long Hai handed the hard drive to his subordinate professionals to decrypt and then asked Ling Zhenfei, "What exactly happened inside, tell me about it."

Ling Zhenfei said with a sly smile, "You really should have gone down and seen it for yourself. The excitement inside cannot be described in words. Although this is a crime, I still want to say it was worth going to the Imperial Palace Club just once as a man."

Of course, Long Hai knew what Ling Zhenfei was referring to. The last time Ling Zhenfei and Zhuo Yue went together, they used hidden cameras to capture the situation inside. When they sent the footage to them, it shocked everyone, which is why an investigation team was dispatched so quickly.

"What about those girls inside? How many made such a choice out of desperation? It would have been so much better if they could all walk the right path. What a waste," Long Hai couldn't help but lament.

"Yes, it's such a pity whenever I think about them," Ling Zhenfei said, and he couldn't help thinking of the girls inside, each one a goddess to other men. Who would have thought that they would have such an aspect to their lives?

Perhaps, after bringing down the Imperial Palace Club this time, they might be awakened and start new lives, not treading the old paths again.

Long Hai then asked if Ling Zhenfei's mission had gone smoothly, and Ling Zhenfei briefly described his encounter inside.

Even though it was a brief description, it was enough to make Long Hai's heart race, and he couldn't help but worry for Ling Zhenfei.

"By the way, Big Brother Long, now that the Imperial Palace Club has been alerted, you need to act immediately; otherwise, I'm really afraid they'll get away."

Long Hai also responded with some helplessness, "Of course, our thoughts are different from yours, but this case is just too complicated; it's not something we can decide on our own. But rest assured, I will use my connections to apply for action as soon as possible, and at the same time, have people watch them, it won't be so easy for them to run away."

Ling Zhenfei asked with some doubt in his heart, "How long will it take approximately?"

After thinking for a moment and estimating the time, Long Hai said, "It should be in the next couple of days. Trust me, I do have some pull with the higher-ups, especially since this case is so special, they should make an exception."

"I can rest easy now. I wouldn't be able to sleep properly until this issue was settled."

The two men were chatting when suddenly Feng Li popped his head out from the Iveco and called out to Long Hai, "Big Brother Long, we found it."

Ling Zhenfei and Long Hai both knew what Feng Li meant by 'found it': it must be the evidence linking Zhou Yang with the Imperial Palace Club.

"Is the evidence all there?" Long Hai asked Feng Li.

Feng Li said with a smile, "Well, the charges here are enough to keep Zhou Yang locked up for a good ten to twenty years."

A look of delight spread across Long Hai's face as he said to Ling Zhenfei, "It seems I won't have time to deal with you. You better go on your own. I'll probably have a lot to do."

Ling Zhenfei was, of course, very considerate and knew what was most important at the moment.

"Then I'll be going. Give me a call if you need my help."

Long Hai said with amusement, "Of course, I can't do without you. When it's time to arrest them, I might need you to help out."

"Then I'll wait for your call."

Ling Zhenfei got into his car and drove off, but for a while, he didn't know where to go. By this time, dawn was breaking, and he was indeed tired and wanted to find a place to rest properly.

Ling Zhenfei had exerted himself tremendously yesterday, whether in terms of physical strength, spiritual power, or mental energy, so he wanted to rest for a bit. Even with spiritual power, one must be mindful to take care of oneself.

From the moment he left Binyang to his return, the person Ling Zhenfei most wanted to see was Liu Bingying. He didn't know why, but he always felt that only in Liu Bingying's home could he find the true feeling of home.

With that in mind, Ling Zhenfei headed towards the residential area where Liu Bingying lived. Driving, he checked the time and felt it was probably when Liu Bingying would be sending Xiao Ke to school, so he didn't go to Liu Bingying's home and drove straight to Xiao Ke's school instead.

Ling Zhenfei parked the car on the roadside, waiting for Liu Bingying to bring Xiao Ke to school. After last night's fierce battle, Ling Zhenfei knew he reeked of women's scent, and his clothes were filthy. Fortunately, he had a change of clothes in his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, so he hastily changed into a clean set.

After tidying himself up in the car, and even using his spiritual power to deal with the scent of other women on his body, he was satisfied.

Seeing Liu Bingying walking along with Xiao Ke from a distance, Ling Zhenfei quickly got out of the car and walked towards them.

"Xiao Ke!"

Ling Zhenfei called out, and both Xiao Ke and Liu Bingying turned to look his way, both of them clearly startled and hadn't expected Ling Zhenfei to appear suddenly.

"Uncle Ling!" Xiao Ke exclaimed, thrilled to see Ling Zhenfei, and ran into his arms.

"Did you miss your uncle?" Ling Zhenfei asked as he picked up Xiao Ke, feeling very happy.

"Xiao Ke missed you so much, wanted to see you every day," Xiao Ke said joyfully.

"Uncle missed Xiao Ke too!" Ling Zhenfei happily swung Xiao Ke around in his arms, anyone unaware would think it was his own child.
