"The Feng family? Which Feng family?" the man asked instinctively.

“Which Feng family in the capital could possibly be qualified to know the Xie family?” Zhou Baiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at him as if he were a fool.

"This..." The man looked troubled. "If it's the Feng family, I can't make a move, boss."

"Moreover, the Feng family wields absolute power in the capital. I'm afraid that..."

"With me helping you, what are you afraid of? I've already gotten my nephew to get acquainted with her. Next time he takes her out, you can make your move, and I'll cover for you."

Zhou Baiyu was extremely disdainful: "The Feng family is nothing, yet you're so afraid."

"Once the Zhou family's great cause is completed, the Feng family... will be nothing but ants."

The man listened, gradually gaining confidence: "Okay, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission. After you catch her, bring her here too?"

Jason Chow: "What else? Put it in your house? You idiot."

Even after being scolded, the man still grinned and said, "Oh, I'm not as smart as the boss, but... well..."

He rubbed his fingers together: "I need to hire a few people, this... might not be enough."

"Okay, I'll transfer another 500,000 to your account after my surgery." Zhou Baiyu said casually and walked towards the operating room he had mentioned.

The man wiped the blood from his nose, excitedly took out his phone, and walked towards another room while making a call: "Brother-in-law, I have some work to do..."

Meanwhile, Nan Yuanman and his two companions, led by Tuan Tuan, entered the basement hidden beneath the swimming pool.

Feng Jingcheng had already prepared himself for a small, dirty, and smelly place below, and had even prepared handkerchiefs to cover his nose. However, the basement under the pool was unexpectedly clean.

It was also unexpectedly large, with an area of ​​over 300 square meters.

The interior is decorated like a laboratory, with a transparent glass door that displays the words "Universal Animal Hospital" in large characters.

Feng Jingcheng: "?"

"This kid's started an animal hospital?"

Tuan Tuan stood at the door without going in. It turned to Nan Yuanman and said, "Mi Mi secretly followed him here before. Mi Mi has never been to any other places. You need to be careful, human."

Nan Yuanman nodded: "Don't worry, we'll be careful. You come in here first and wait, so you won't get caught up in the fight."

As he spoke, Nan Yuanman took out a wooden figure and waved it at Tuantuan.

Tuantuan took a step back and refused her: "Mimi won't go in, Mimi wants to stay by Mommy's side and protect Mommy."

After it finished speaking, it jumped up and landed on Xie Shuyao's shoulder again.

Xie Shuyao felt a slight coolness on her cheek. She subconsciously tilted her head slightly and rubbed her cheek against it, her voice soft and hoarse: "Tuantuan, is that you?"

"Yes, Mommy~" Tuan Tuan rubbed her cheek against her contentedly, her tail held high, responding loudly and happily.

The coolness on her cheeks intensified, and Xie Shuyao felt a lump in her throat, almost bursting into tears.

Nan Yuanman respected Tuan Tuan's choice. She put the wooden figure back into her small handbag, looked at the place in front of her where ghostly energy, resentment, and yin energy intertwined, took a deep breath, and carefully stepped inside.

As soon as they approached, a mechanical female voice came from the door: "Please perform a facial scan verification."

"Facial scanning?" Nan Yuanman looked at Feng Jingcheng blankly: "Can't Yuanman's face be scanned?"

Feng Jingcheng: "It should be Zhou Baiyu's face that's allowed in."

"That's easy, I'll do it." Xie Shuyao said, taking out her phone and pulling up the photo of Zhou Baiyu's face that she had taken earlier, and tried scanning it.

Just a few seconds later, the door clicked open, and the three of them quickly went inside.

The first thing Feng Jingcheng and Xie Shuyao smelled was a very strong disinfectant odor.

The disinfectant made them cough repeatedly, but they suppressed it for fear of disturbing Zhou Baiyu.

In addition to disinfectant, Nanmanyuan also smelled an extremely strong stench of decay and corpses, mixed with a bloody smell.

The complex smell made her wrinkle her nose involuntarily. She took out a talisman and sniffed it hard, forcibly suppressing the urge to vomit rising in her throat.

Meanwhile, the cat ghost and dog ghost that had been confined by the swimming pool slowly emerged from the walls and underground.

Their eyes were bloodshot as they warily watched Nan Yuanman and her two companions, seemingly assessing whether she was in cahoots with Zhou Baiyu.

Nan Yuanman tentatively communicated with the dog spirit closest to her: "Hello, I'm here to catch the big bad guy. Do you know where he is?"

The little dog looked Nan Yuanman up and down, appearing wary and alert on the surface, but its severed tail was wagging wildly behind it.

It stared at Nan Yuanman for almost a minute before turning and walking toward a room, glancing back at her as it went, as if urging her to follow.

Nan Yuanman's eyes lit up: "Sixth Brother, Sister Xie, come with me!"

As Nan Yuanman and his two companions followed behind the little dog's soul, they did not forget to observe the surrounding environment. They discovered that the basement was indeed decorated like a pet hospital, with separate rooms including a consultation room, observation room, ultrasound room, X-ray room, and even an operating room and inpatient ward.

The ward door was tightly closed, only the light on the operating room door was on, and the sign above it flashed the three large characters "Operating in Progress".

The little dog's soul remained at the entrance of the operating room.

Its scarlet dog eyes were staring hatefully at the closed operating room door.

Nan Yuanman's heart sank: "Is the big bad guy inside?"

The little dog nodded silently.

Nan Yuanman's face tightened, and without hesitation, she gripped the copper coin sword, ready to slash at the door. But at that moment, a male voice came from behind them: "Who are you?! When did you get in?! Who allowed you to come in!"

Feng Jingcheng and Xie Shuyao turned around in fright and saw a burly man in a black vest standing behind them, carrying a bucket of blood-red water and looking at them warily.

"Damn! There are other people in this basement?!" Feng Jingcheng couldn't help but curse. Before the burly man could react, he strode towards him: "Yuanman! I'll hold him off, you and your sister Xie take care of that big bad guy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Jingcheng kicked the bucket of water out of the burly man's hand, rushed at him, and started wrestling with him.

Without hesitation, Nan Yuanman slammed the copper coin sword into the door.

At that moment, inside the operating room, Zhou Baiyu, holding a bloodstained knife, slowly approached the tabby cat hiding in the corner. The cat's fur was covered in blood, its hind legs had been severed at the root, and a pen had been stuck in one of its eyes. The cat was growling at him.

Just as he was about to strike the tabby cat with his knife, a series of loud bangs sounded outside the door.

The excited, frenzied expression on Zhou Baiyu's face faded slightly, and he clicked his tongue in annoyance: "Damn it, didn't I tell him not to disturb me during my surgery unless it's something important? I don't have much time..."

Zhou Baiyu, knife in hand, walked towards the door, turned the doorknob, and opened it: "You'd better have something to say...!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a copper coin sword coming straight at him.

Jason Chow: "!!!"

Zhou Baiyu dodged to the side in a disheveled state, but his clothes were still torn by the copper coin sword.

His face darkened, and he angrily looked up. When he saw Nan Yuanman holding the copper coin sword and Xie Shuyao standing beside her with a shocked and bewildered expression, his expression froze.
