These four men were convinced that Shang Lin had stolen their prey, and they were practically shouting in unison, "Stop talking nonsense and hand over our prey!"

"You're tired of hearing this same thing over and over again. Why don't you just tell me what will happen to me if I can't hand over the prey? That way we won't waste each other's time."

Shang Lin's words were incredibly arrogant, but in a sense, they were also a form of intimidation. However, the prey was clearly very important to these four people, and they didn't hear any intimidation in his words, only arrogance.

The eldest brother sneered, "Fine, since you've admitted it, we won't be polite. If you can't hand over the prey, give us the money. Anyway, our prey is for auction. To avoid bullying a child, we won't ask for too much. Just give us 50 million."

Shang Lin chuckled, "You're just robbing me, aren't you? If the prey is really worth that much money, it must be a rare and protected animal. I think you'd be better off going to jail."

"You brat, don't be so stubborn. Or are you saying you don't want to pay to avoid trouble?"

In fact, Shang Lin's act of luring the man out of the bathroom was indeed a way of paying to avoid trouble, since she had taken away his hard-earned money. But judging from their tone and the bloodlust and resentment emanating from them, they must have hunted rare wild animals for profit before.

Since that's the case, he doesn't feel guilty anymore. He can do whatever he needs to do. It's just that this place is remote, and he doesn't know how long it will take Uncle Hat to get here. He can only take a roundabout approach.

So, "Okay, fifty million, right? But I don't have that much money with me when I'm out and about. You'll have to come home with me tomorrow to get it."

"Do you think we're stupid? You stay here and have your family bring you money."

Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Are you sure? This would change the nature of the situation."

"This is outrageous!" the eldest brother roared and attacked.

Shang Lin leaped into the air, and the next second She Jinxing stood in front of him, forcefully sending all four of them flying. In the dim light, his eyes were red, and he hissed, "You deserve to die."

Shang Lin was taken aback. The little snake was angry. He hurriedly said, "It's good that it's trapped. Don't get entangled in karma for someone who isn't worth it."

Even though Shang Lin said that, She Jinxing still beat those four people pretty badly. Even when they used magic weapons against him in retaliation, he didn't dodge or avoid them and just took the hits head-on, which showed how angry he was.

Although Shang Lin rarely gets angry, She Jinxing also rarely gets angry, so his behavior made Shang Lin guess that the prey was either being tortured badly or was probably about to die.

Shang Lin hurriedly stepped forward to help the reckless She Jinxing avoid the attacks of the magical weapon. At the same time, he tied up the four people who had been beaten black and blue by him. Then he hurriedly comforted them, saying, "Alright, alright, let Situ Pojun handle it. Maybe he can uncover a major case."

It took She Jinxing a while to calm down his violent emotions before he said in a muffled voice, "They... are not human."

Shang Lin continued to soothe them, "Who says that just because someone wears human skin, they are human? Don't be angry, let's go find Situ Pojun now." After saying that, he took out a teleportation talisman, which shimmered in the dark night, and the group disappeared from the spot.

When they finally appeared on the rooftop of Situ Pojun's upscale retirement home, She Jinxing had completely calmed down. He then said apologetically to Shang Lin, "I'm sorry to have troubled the sect leader; I should..."

"It's okay, money that needs to be spent should be spent."

The next second, Situ Pojun appeared on the rooftop. Upon seeing Shang Lin and She Jinxing, along with four people bound hand and foot, their faces bruised and swollen, lying on the ground, he was immediately confused. "What's going on?"

Shang Lin stated bluntly, "I suspect they are illegally hunting endangered wild animals. You should investigate."

Situ Pojun looked puzzled. "You're coming to me about something like this? Shouldn't we call the police?"

Shang Lin sighed softly, "I would like to, but unfortunately the conditions don't allow it, so I can only leave it to you."

Situ Pojun personally led Shang Lin to his office. "What happened? Weren't you supposed to be attending the auction? Did you suddenly become a champion of justice halfway through?"

Shang Lin sprawled out on the large sofa in Situ Pojun's office without any regard for appearances. "Don't even mention it. Get me something to eat. All I've eaten all day is two boiled eggs and a piece of chocolate. I'm starving."

Situ Pojun, "..."

Resignedly, she took out her phone to order takeout for Shang Lin, but She Jinxing, who had followed her, hurriedly said, "I'll go buy it for the sect leader. It'll be cold by the time it's delivered."

Situ Pojun immediately put away his phone and resignedly poured Shang Lin a cup of hot tea, saying, "Then drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."

"Thank you." After saying that, Shang Lin took out his phone and called Yu Qingfeng. "Sorry, Brother Yu, something urgent came up at my sect. I'm back now. Could you please bring my things back from the hotel for me?"

"What?!" Yu Qingfeng was utterly shocked. "How did you get there?"

"We used a teleportation talisman." Shang Lin asked again, "What's the situation over there now?"

"A teleportation talisman?!" Yu Qingfeng was shocked again. "You drew that too?!"

"Hmm, so what's the situation over there right now?"

Shang Lin genuinely couldn't understand why Yu Qingfeng was so shocked. The teleportation talisman wasn't some high-difficulty talisman; could it be more important than the chaotic situation on their side?

But it took Yu Qingfeng a while to come to her senses and answer Shang Lin's question, "What else could it be? The aggrieved party has left, so what are the others doing staying? But those who live far away are planning to leave early tomorrow morning to avoid driving unsafely. Especially when encountering evil spirits, who would be as domineering as Sect Master Shang?"

"Hehe..." Shang Lin chuckled, "Brother Yu, please don't make fun of me about that. It was just a helpless act when I had no other choice."

"Be modest." Yu Qingfeng asked again in a serious tone, "What happened in your sect? If there's anything I can do to help, just say so, and I'll do my best."

"Thank you, but it's nothing difficult. Someone has already taken care of it for me." Shang Lin said, glancing at Situ Pojun.

To everyone's surprise, Situ Pojun stood up and turned his back on Shang Lin. However, he didn't leave. Instead, he called Lan Xuan over to investigate something. He was a professional at that.

Lan Xuan appeared quickly, but when he saw Shang Lin, he asked with great surprise, "Why is Sect Leader Shang here so late? Is there something you need?"

Situ Pojun answered for Shang Lin, "It's something I asked you to do. Go and investigate those people to see if they hunted rare wild animals."

Lan Xuan then noticed four people, bruised and unconscious, lying bound hand and foot in the corner of the director's office. He instinctively looked at Situ Pojun, "Aren't they alive? How come..."
