Shao Jinyang and the man locked eyes, under the mask, only the man’s sharp eyes could be seen.

And Shao Jinyang’s aura was by no means inferior to the masked man’s.

Although he was alone, he seemed as if he had thousands of troops behind him, calm and confident.

"Where is Susu?" Shao Jinyang asked.

"Susu? Who are you talking about?" the masked man countered.

"The little girl you kidnapped."

"I don’t know her, nor have I kidnapped any little girls." His tone was calm, as if he was an innocent bystander dragged into this.

"No, you do know her, and you did kidnap her, and you’d be a lot more comfortable if you admitted it willingly." Shao Jinyang’s eyes were sharp as knife blades. fr\eewebno vel .c(o)m

His tone was firm, and his expression was stern.

It was a unique demeanor that only those who had long walked the knife’s edge possessed.

"From the sound of your voice, it feels as though you think we’re on your turf, and I’m your prisoner."

"Does it make a difference?" Shao Jinyang said, "No matter where we are, the person who has done wrong and feels guilty is you."

"Done wrong? Sir, I believe you are mistaken. It’s you who have illegally intruded upon my territory; logically and morally, the wrongdoer is you."

"Kidnapping is no small crime, as long as I can prove to the relevant authorities that I am here to save someone, my actions are legal."

"Kidnapping? What kidnapping? I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Are you perhaps intending to kidnap me? That would be rather unpleasant." the masked man replied.

"You kidnapped Susu, and the faces of your underlings were captured by surveillance, that’s substantial evidence, enough to have you and your subordinates convicted."

Before entering, Shao Jinyang had already taken care of several people, and through facial recognition, he was able to match the faces of those he had knocked out with the ones who had kidnapped Susu in the mall.

"They are just employees of my company; what they do outside of work has nothing to do with me, nor do I know that they are employed by others to engage in illegal activities. I am unaware."

The masked man’s composure was unaffected, lightly detaching himself from the situation at hand.

"It’s rather odd that so many of your men were involved in the kidnapping, yet you, their boss, claim to have no connection whatsoever."

"I run a security company that hires people with outstanding comCombat Power, and they work in teams led by squad leaders, so it’s not strange for them to collectively commit unreasonable acts under the direction of their squad members."

The man’s calm and collected demeanor was outstanding among the many criminals Shao Jinyang had encountered.

But Jinyang’s experience in this area was even richer. After scrutinizing the man for a while, he switched topics: "We’ve been talking for so long, why do you always wear a mask? Is it because you can’t show your face, or are you a wanted criminal?"

"I wear a mask because I have burn scars on my face, and even after some plastic surgery, there are still noticeable marks. I wear it so as not to frighten others—not that it’s against the law, right?"

The masked man remained composed, unhurried.

"If I say I’m not afraid, could you take it off and let me see your real face? Unless, of course, you dare not."

"But I prefer not to do so. I have my dignity, and I don’t want others to see my ugly side. Surely such a request isn’t too much to ask?" the masked man said with a light laugh.
