The Chief of Police nodded while sighing. This time, there was a trace of approval in his eyes when he looked at Jin Liwei. "I understand. Your wife and baby's safety should always be your priority. I'm glad that they're okay now. Don't worry about the blood test anymore. It would make your claim in the case easier to prove with the blood test but it's not strictly necessary, that's why I only suggested it and not made it into a mandatory requirement."

"En. Thank you, Chief." Relief filled Jin Liwei that the matter about the blood test was now over.

It was actually his wife's idea to use her medical emergency as a valid reason for him to skip the blood test. She didn't mind revealing her pregnancy to the Chief of Police. Since she already gave her permission, Jin Liwei went ahead and used his wife's near miscarriage as an excuse in his talk with the Police Chief today. He still felt guilty doing it, though. It just didn't feel right to use such a frightening, even traumatic, experience for both them, husband and wife, to basically give credence to a lie that he concocted with his brother-in-law.

However, he still needed to do it because not doing so would be more dangerous. The Chief of Police wasn't a fool. Far from it. They needed to be many times careful in presenting him with their version of events. The Chief of Police wouldn't hesitate in putting Jin Liwei in the same category as Rose Young—a criminal—if it were discovered that Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao faked some of what happened.

Atty. Kang Huizhong took over the conversation with the Chief of Police to discuss the current status of the investigations and also the pending case they filed against the missing Rose Young and her accomplices. Jin Liwei's attention was halved between the conversation and his urge to check on his wife.

A series of loud, urgent knocks on the ornate double doors interrupted them.

"Chief, there's something important that I must report," the voice of one of the male officers said from the other side of the double doors. "May we come in?"

"Enter!" The Chief of Police immediately said, not waiting for Jin Liwei's permission as the master of the house.

The double doors opened and two male officers entered in a hurry. Jin Liwei recognized them as the partners who questioned him at the hotel. They greeted each other with brief nods.

"Our apologies for interrupting your conversation, Chief, CEO Jin, Atty. Kang, but this can't wait."

"Speak." The Chief of Police was now radiating authority. As expected of a man deserving of his high position.

"A report just came in that four bodies have been found dead in a garbage dumping site outside the city. Initial assessments indicate that they are the four male accomplices who assisted Rose Young in trapping CEO Jin."

"The ones who were rescued first by that unknown group?" Jin Liwei interrupted.

"Yes, CEO Jin."

"They're dead?"

"Yes."

Jin Liwei's eyes contracted. What the hell? "So they weren't rescued but murdered instead?"

"That…we still need to investigate."

The Chief of Police already stood up. "CEO Jin, thank you for having us today but we need to go."

Jin Liwei and Atty. Kang Huizhong also stood up to see them off.

"Of course, Chief. Thank you for your time as well. Is the location far from here? If you're in a hurry, how about I lend you my helicopter? It's much faster than driving there."

The Chief of Police only hesitated for a moment before accepting Jin Liwei's offer. Then everyone moved quickly. Within fifteen minutes, the Police Chief and the two male partners were flying in the helicopter with Jin Liwei's on-call pilot while the female and male partners were left to drive the two police cruisers.

After the police and his lawyer left him alone in the lounge area, Jin Liwei's expression turned ugly.

"Ketchup, call ShaWn. I want to speak to them. Immediately!"

"Aye aye, Daddy! Meow~"

The call connected in an instant.

"Mr. Jin—"

"Is it true? All four are dead?"

The leader of the Shadow Winds hacker team didn't need any further explanation to figure out what Jin Liwei was talking about. "Yes, Mr. Jin. All four males are found dead. From the looks of it, they were tortured before dying horrible, painful deaths."

Jin Liwei sucked in a harsh breath. "The unknown group who took them…they're that dangerous?"

"Yes, sir. That's our conclusion. They're extremely dangerous. Not only are they highly skilled and possess advanced weapons, they also don't hesitate to murder in cold blood. As of right now, we have no choice but to assume that their level is above us, Shadow Winds. Their weapons alone are enough to place us in severe disadvantage. If only we have access to the same weapons, then we are confident that we can at least fight them head to head. If Boss Hao is leading us, our chance of winning increases. Hopefully, Boss Hao wakes up from his coma soon. He's the one who's the most adept among us in analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of dangerous groups like this."

Jin Liwei's mind was filled with chaotic thoughts. "Do you think that they will kill Rose Young as well? We still need her alive. She's the easiest pawn that we can use as bait to dig out the mysterious power backing the Youngs."

"There's a 60% chance that they won't touch Rose Young. For now, at least. And 40% chance that they might kill her to silence her. The 60% chance is based on the same view that we have of Rose Young—that she's the easiest pawn to use. Since she's the only daughter of Romeo Young, the head of the Youngs, it's likely that they won't kill her. Not yet. They still need her to better control the Youngs. As for the 40% chance, it's based on Rose Young's recent idiotic actions. The unknown group might treat her more as a liability now."

"En, that makes sense."

"Also, Mr. Jin, I was about to contact you."

"Why?"

"We have Jin Chenggong. What do you want to do with him?"

Cold, freezing fury emanated from Jin Liwei. It was now time to deal with the traitors from his clan.

"Wait for me. I'll be there."
