7:30 PM.

East Sea City, Tianhe Bay Police Station.

Bai Wenrou and Zheng Guofeng walked out of the police station building together. They had been discussing the case and planning how to delve further into the Jade Pearl case, working overtime until now before they prepared to head home.

"Xiao Wen, this case is very significant! Jade Pearl is only a foothold, behind which hides a huge interest group. So, you need to pay extra attention, probe deeper into this case, and don't overlook any clue!"

Zheng Guofeng earnestly admonished.

After pausing, he added, "Also, if you're short on police force, you can apply to me anytime, and I'll report to the city bureau to provide you with ample police support!"

"Don't worry about that, if necessary, you can mobilize the armed police for reinforcement. Just go ahead boldly, and make sure to bring these criminals to justice and solve the case as soon as possible."

"Director, I understand! I will continue to investigate thoroughly and eradicate this hidden drug trafficking chain, purging East Sea City of this malignant tumor."

Bai Wenrou solemnly promised.

Remembering something, Zheng Guofeng warned again, "Oh, also take care of your own safety! Be particularly alert these days; these people are ruthless and might target you if cornered."

Bai Wenrou raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Director, don't worry, I'm only afraid they won't dare come!"

"If they dare to play tricks behind my back, I'll show them a bit of our police strength and let them learn a lesson."

"It's always better to be cautious. After all, we're in the light, they're in the dark! The saying 'easy to dodge the spear in the light, hard to evade the arrow in the dark' makes sense." Zheng Guofeng said.

"Yes, I'll be careful."

Bai Wenrou nodded, "Director, you also need to be cautious, as they're mainly targeting you."

"Haha! Xiao Wen, should I be afraid if you're not? As you said, they're just rats afraid of the daylight; no matter how clever a rat is, it'll eventually be caught by a cat!"

Zheng Guofeng laughed out loud, with obvious disdain in his tone.

The two exchanged smiles, chatting while walking out of the police station, heading toward the street opposite.

But just then!

Vroom Vroom——

A loud car engine roared, revving up.

As they reached the middle of the road, suddenly a black SUV crazily came charging from the side, accelerating past a hundred miles and showing no signs of slowing, intending to run them over.

Seeing the speeding SUV, Bai Wenrou was momentarily stunned, standing frozen in place and forgetting to dodge.

"Watch out!"

Zheng Guofeng, walking behind, changed his expression drastically and shouted.

Without thinking, he lunged forward, grabbed Bai Wenrou's arm, and had her fall to the ground.

They rolled on the ground, dodging to the side of the road, narrowly avoiding the speeding SUV, almost getting hit!

"Xiao Wen, are you alright?"

Zheng Guofeng hurriedly got up, asking with a grim face.

"Director, I'm fine!" Bai Wenrou replied, still shaken.

At that moment, she felt as if she brushed past death itself! If Zheng Guofeng had reacted any slower, she would have been hit by the car!

At that speed, an impact would send a person flying, making survival highly unlikely.

"Director, how are you? Are you hurt? What was with that car? It seemed like a deliberate attempt on our lives!"

Quickly regaining her composure, Bai Wenrou identified the problem.

Judging by the speed and angle of the car, it was clearly not an accidental move but a deliberate drive towards them, intending harm!

"I'm fine, luckily reacted in time, no need to worry."

Zheng Guofeng shook his head and stood up, eyeing the departing SUV with no license plate, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, saying:

"These criminals are truly lawless, daring to commit murder openly outside the police station! If left unchecked, who knows what greater harm they'll bring to society!"

"These rotten apples must be eradicated quickly!" He said, his voice sweeping with uncontainable fury.

"You're saying... those people did this!?"

With a sharp coldness in her eyes, Bai Wenrou frowned and asked.

"Humph! Who else if not them?"

Gazing at the SUV gradually disappearing into the night, Zheng Guofeng's face turned extremely grim.

He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, and said in a cold voice: "They're too naive, thinking this would stop my investigation? Ridiculous!"

"Not only will I continue to investigate, but drag out all their dirty laundry, letting these audacious villains taste fear! Since they dared to do such things, they must pay for their actions!!!"

...

At present.

Far away in Shangjing, Ye Xuan and his group have arrived at the Platinum Hotel, where, under Yao Xingtong's arrangement, they've booked a suite.

In a luxurious private room on the eighteenth-floor restaurant of the hotel, a total of six people are seated.

Among them are five women and one man: Yao Xingtong, Liu Ying, Lu Miaochan, Xu Lele, and Nanny Wang, with the only male undoubtedly being Ye Xuan.

This combination is truly a speck of green amidst the myriad of flowers!

Excluding Nanny Wang, who is a woman in her forties, the other four beauties are young, beautiful, each with their own unique charms. The four flowers with Ye Xuan as the green leaf caused a hundred percent head-turning rate when entering the hotel.

The dinner gathering is naturally hosted by Yao Xingtong as the host, inviting everyone.

Having called Ye Xuan to Shangjing for help from afar, she naturally wanted to treat him as her guest. So this dinner primarily serves to entertain Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan, with others also benefiting from the occasion.

Additionally, it so happens she arranged their accommodation at this Platinum Hotel where Liu Ying stays too!

This wasn't intentional; instead, this hotel counts the Liu Family as one of the investors, making them a shareholder. It's part of the Liu Family's initial steps in entering the Shangjing market, expanding into the restaurant industry!

Naturally, as a friend, she would support Liu Family business, hence arranging accommodation for Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan there, partially considering this aspect.

"Haha, our Xingtong as a big celebrity seldom publicly dines like this. Now that she's hosting, everyone should eat more."

Liu Ying smiled, inviting everyone.

"Sister Liu Ying, I can't eat that much; I think this mission should be handed over to Ye Xuan. He's a better eater than a pig." Lu Miaochan chuckled softly.

"Little Miaochan, your words don't include yourself! We can eat less, but you can't eat less, must eat more!"

Liu Ying said with a bright smile.

"Why is that?" Lu Miaochan asked, curious.

Liu Ying giggled and said, "Because I heard Ye Xuan is capable of thirteen rounds a night, if you eat less, how can you last through thirteen times with this guy at night? I think you should eat at least seven or eight bowls!"
