Bang! ...

The door to the monitoring room was suddenly pushed open.

A beautiful figure appeared at the door with a cold expression.

"Xue Rou!"

Qin Hedao frowned and looked at the newcomer.

Where is Xu Anren?

Xue Rou said coldly, her face grim.

"Forehead……"

"Miss Xue, Xu An is suspected of colluding with people from the Divine Revelation Sect. We are currently interrogating him."

The middle-aged man standing next to Qin Hedao quickly replied with a smile.

"If he were truly colluding with Shen Qi, would he have come to the capital with you on his own initiative?"

Xue Rou said with a cold face.

"Xue Rou, this is an internal matter for us night patrolmen."

"you……"

"It's not convenient for me to get involved!"

Qin Hedao crossed his legs and spoke with a cold smile.

Xue Rou's background is no less impressive than his, but...

Xue Rou is not a night patrolman!

"Oh? So that means if you're a night watchman, you can get involved."

Behind Xue Rou, Zhang Lingxuan popped her head out and waved her identity card with a grin.

"I'm a night watchman!"

Zhang Lingxuan smiled.

Before Qin Hedao could speak, Xue Rou had already dialed a phone number.

Who's in charge here?

Answer the phone!

A short while later, the leader in charge walked in from outside.

"Hello……"

"Ah, Old Xue!"

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, the leader immediately became respectful.

"Okay, I understand!"

"Okay, we'll arrange it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, the leader looked at Qin Hedao with a troubled expression.

"Old Xue called and told us to... release them."

The leader said in a low voice.

Aren't you going to release it yet?

"Should I call my father too? Or..."

"Should we have him come in person to get them released?"

Zhang Lingxuan stood with her hands behind her back, smiling as she looked at the group of people in front of her.

"Release them!"

The leader, disregarding Qin Hedao's opinion at this moment, immediately spoke.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, is Qin Hedao deliberately setting me up?"

"Isn't it said that Xu An is just an insignificant person from a small place?"

"Could someone as insignificant as him warrant Old Master Xue's intervention to protect him?"

"Moreover, judging from this, it seems that he has a good relationship with Master Zhang as well."

"Damn it, Qin Hedao really screwed me over this time!"

He's just a minor leader here.

He had no way of getting close to people of Xue Lao's or Zhang Daoren's level on a regular basis.

"Quickly... release them!"

"Who gave you permission to lock up Brother Xu An? He was just cooperating with the investigation, don't you understand?!"

"He's not a criminal yet!"

The leader wiped away cold sweat and hurriedly berated his subordinates.

The subordinates were also speechless. What the hell...

Didn't you ask us to lock him up?

Furthermore, you also said that whether someone is a criminal or not is up to you to decide here.

Where did that arrogance go? What's with trying to shift the blame onto them?

Snap! ... Clang! ...

With a series of loud mechanical noises, the heavy door was slowly opened.

Looking at the room in front of them, Zhang Lingxuan and Xue Rou's faces darkened.

Is he a criminal?

"Have you already convicted him?!"

Xue Rou said coldly.

The room in front of me is clearly a specially made prison cell.

Is this cooperating with an investigation?

No!

This is torture!

"Sister Rou!"

Inside the room, Xu An looked at Xue Rou in surprise at the door.

I was both surprised and delighted.

He never expected that Xue Rou would appear in the capital.

"Hey, hey, hey, can your eyes see anyone other than Sister Rou?"

"I'm here too!"

Zhang Lingxuan put her hands on her hips and said with a displeased expression.

"Oh, and there's another deserter."

Xu An glanced at Zhang Lingxuan and said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingxuan's face immediately darkened.

I felt embarrassed, ashamed, and angry.

"I...I had no choice."

"Who's deserting? I didn't desert!"

Zhang Lingxuan's chest heaved violently with anger, making the already small hill seem... even smaller.

"Alright, she has her reasons."

"Let's go, let's talk about this outside."

A gentle expression returned to Xue Rou's face as she spoke softly.

"Let's go, I'm starving, let's get something to eat first."

Xu An smiled.

During their conversation along the way, Xu An learned the truth.

They had just set off from Taipei and were heading towards Beijing.

Xue Rou already knew the news and hurriedly set off from Beishi to Shangjing.

What shocked Xu An even more was...

Xue Rou's grandfather was actually a member of the Spirit Alliance Elders Council.

He only knew that Zhang Lingxuan had a powerful background, including the Spirit Alliance.

Unexpectedly, Xue Rou, who usually appears to be extremely low-key, also has a background in the Spirit Alliance.

...

In a quiet courtyard in Beijing.

The courtyard is filled with flowers and plants, and an old man is fishing by the small pond in the yard.

Qin Hedao stood respectfully not far away, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.

After a long while, the little bell on the fishing rod rang out a clear sound.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the old man pulled a large fish out of the water and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

Where are they?

The old man turned around and glanced coldly at Qin Hedao, his voice icy.
