"Tang Sen is at Jiagong Mansion," someone hurriedly answered.

"Jiagong Mansion; could it be that Tang Sen hasn't escaped?" Ling Zhenfei was very surprised. Tang Sen originally lived in Jiagong Mansion, but after that incident, only the police had gone to search Jiagong Mansion, and by then, it had already been abandoned.

"There's an underground world in Jiagong Mansion, Tang Sen is there," Shan Biao replied.

"Then where is Wu Yingxiong?"

"Wu Yingxiong is at Swan Island."

Someone rushed to respond, and although everyone knew Wu Yingxiong was at Swan Island, no one knew exactly where this Swan Island was. To outsiders, this place was a mystery; only those who had actually been there knew its location.

"Where is Swan Island?"

At that moment, everyone fell silent; not because they did not want to answer, but because they truly could not. Some had only heard of the place and had never been there.

"Swan Island is in the Swan Nature Reserve."

At this point, Zhou Meng, who had been silent until now, spoke up; he was one of Wu Yingxiong's men and had been to Swan Island before.

After hearing this, Ling Zhenfei was stunned. Not far from this city lay a vast wetland which was home to many swans every year, thus it was designated as the Swan Nature Reserve.

Who would have thought that beneath an international nature reserve lay the hiding spot of a major drug lord?

"Recently, Wu Yingxiong has recruited many people and bought a lot of weapons. What does he plan to do?" Ling Zhenfei continued to ask Zhou Meng these important details, which only Zhou Meng would know.

Zhou Meng shook his head vigorously, "I just don't know. If Wu Yingxiong doesn't say, no one will know what he intends to do."

Although Zhou Meng effectively said nothing, Ling Zhenfei knew it was true. Wu Yingxiong was cunning and secretive; it was normal for his actions to go undetected.

"And what about Wang Ming, where is he?"

"Wang Ming is where we are staying, imprisoned. Two brothers were watching over him, he was still alive when we left; I don't know if he's dead now," someone answered.

Wang Ming's fate hung in the balance and time was of the essence. Ling Zhenfei made a call to Guo Qing'an to relay the situation and urged him to send someone immediately.

Then, Ling Zhenfei administered the antidote to Shan Biao and the others and waited for the police to arrive. During the wait, Shan Biao and the others attempted to flee, but what awaited them were not the fists and feet of Ling Zhenfei.

After about fifteen minutes, police sirens roared as seven or eight police cars arrived, showing how seriously the police department took this matter.

Guo Qing'an even came personally, accompanied by another police officer, whom Guo Qing'an later introduced as the local police chief.

With both chiefs of police present, the gravity of the issue was clear. Ling Zhenfei briefed them on the situation and urged them to rush to where Shan Biao and the others were staying to rescue Wang Ming.

It was crucial to interrogate people like Shan Biao and Zhou Meng thoroughly to extract more information.

After briefing them on the urgent situation, Guo Qing'an, along with Ge Qing, Shan Biao, Zhou Meng, and others, drove off in a police car.

The scene was left with only Ling Zhenfei and a woman half-asleep in the car. Ling Zhenfei got back into the car which slowly started to move, waking up the drowsy girl.

"My dear, where is your home?" It was only then that Ling Zhenfei remembered to ask the girl where she lived.

The girl slapped her head hard and then said, "I've forgotten."

Ling Zhenfei was astonished. What kind of mind did she have, to forget even where she lived?

"So, where should I drive you to?"

The girl said, "Just drive me around; maybe that will jog my memory."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright then, that's the only option we have."

As Ling Zhenfei drove on, he chatted with the girl and couldn't help feeling that she didn't seem like someone who would forget where her own house was just because she had a few drinks.

During their conversation, Ling Zhenfei learned that the girl's name was Annie and that her home was in this city. However, she had lived abroad for more than half of her twenty-something years and had not been back in the country for long, which is why she couldn't remember the way home.

Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to keep driving. He remembered that he had an important task later that night, which was to go to Jiagong Mansion to find Tang Sen.

The big news of Zhou Meng, Shan Biao, and others getting arrested would definitely spread, and Tang Sen would likely flee Jiagong Mansion, so he had to catch Tang Sen that night.

Turning on the car's navigation, Ling Zhenfei headed directly for Jiagong Mansion. Since Annie couldn't remember the way back home, she would have to take this trip with him.

It wasn't long before they arrived at Jiagong Mansion, an inn-like place with a unique construction, not a towering skyscraper but rather a spot resembling an ancient palace complex.

Behind the high walls lay three or four courtyards, each with several rooms. Guests here could rent one of the rooms or even reserve an entire courtyard.

Each courtyard had its own unique scenery and character, offering a truly noble experience to those staying there.

Ling Zhenfei parked the car outside Jiagong Mansion and saw the magnificent exterior from afar.

Imposing ancient palace-style glazed tiles, brackets and overhanging eaves graced the structure, boasting strength and grandeur. At the entrance were eight pairs of stone lions, and guards in black attire armed with swords stood watch, making it look like the set of a historical drama.

Jiagong Mansion was designed to give the feel of stepping into an ancient Imperial Court.

The massive gate adorned with eighty-one brass studs rivaled even the Forbidden City, although the gate itself was slightly shorter.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned by the grandeur and scale, the likes of which in Binyang could only be seen at the Imperial Palace Club.

"So this is where you were headed?" Annie asked, clearly surprised.

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Yeah, you've been here before?"

Annie smiled, "Of course, I've been here. Do you want to stay inside?"

After thinking for a moment, Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, I'd like to stay here. It must be expensive, right?"

Annie said, "It's not about being expensive or not. To stay here, you need to have a reservation; otherwise, they won't accommodate you."

"They turn away money, that's quite interesting," said Ling Zhenfei, somewhat surprised.

Annie laughed, "Do you want to stay here? I have a friend who works inside. I could ask her, and maybe she could let us in."

Ling Zhenfei was pleased, "That would be great; thank you so much."

Ling Zhenfei knew in his heart that although it was possible to climb over the wall and sneak in, why go through such trouble when you could just walk in openly?

By that time, Annie had already pulled out her phone and started chatting with someone on WeChat. After less than a minute, she put her phone away with a smile.

"Alright, we're in luck. There's a room available in the third courtyard with the best view. It took some persuading, but I got them to agree to let us in."

The two of them got out of the car and walked towards the grand entrance of Jiagong Mansion. As they approached, two security personnel came up and stopped them.
