"What a fast knife!" All the police officers gripped their bleeding wrists, a look of shock on their faces.
"Captain, quickly report to the director and ask him to send reinforcements," a team member whispered to the captain.
"Yes, that's the only way!" The captain immediately pressed the call button on his headset.
"Chief, a murder has occurred on the west side of West Lake. The murderer is highly skilled, and we are in a critical situation. We request backup!" he reported.
"How dare this murderer kill someone in a tourist area? This killer is incredibly audacious!"
"Keep them calm for now, I'll bring men over right away!" the bureau chief said before hanging up the phone.
"Our bureau chief will be here with his men soon. If you know what's good for you, drop the knife and obediently kowtow to confess your crimes!"
"Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble once you're in jail!" The captain looked at Gu Yue, sneered, and said.
"Kowtowing and confessing? I want to see who's going to kowtow and confess!" Gu Yue shook her head and said.
A car horn sounded in the distance, and several luxury cars sped up and stopped by the lake in no time. The door of the first car opened, and an elderly man of about fifty years old got out and hurried over.
The doors of the following cars opened one after another, and countless men in black jumped out and surged towards this side.
"Who killed my son!" Upon arriving at the scene, the old man looked at Qin Yong lying dead on the ground, his body trembling, and roared angrily.
"It's her!" the leader of the men in black who had made the phone call earlier said, pointing at Gu Yue.
"Why did you kill my son?" Qin Yong asked Gu Yue angrily.
"Because he deserves to die!" Gu Yue looked at Old Master Qin, "The fact that you raised a son like this shows that you're no better than him!"
"If you don't want to die, then kneel down and beg for forgiveness!"
"Hahaha..."
"The Qin family of Jiangnan, while not a major clan, is still a prominent one!"
"So many people who saw it bowed their heads in worship!"
"Speak with your tail between your legs!"
How dare you speak to me like that!
"They really don't know their own limitations!"
"Kill him!" Old Master Qin said, pointing at Gu Yue.
"Kill!" A group of men in black behind her immediately rushed towards Gu Yue.
"Pfft pfft pfft!!" Gu Yue swung his short sword, and several black-clad men who rushed forward were immediately cleaved in two and died on the ground.
"Boom boom boom!" Shi Jing's body swayed as he joined the battle, his fists swung, and clouds of blood mist formed and spread out.
In a matter of moments, all the men in black who rushed forward were killed, not one was left.
The leader of the men in black who had made the phone call earlier, seeing that things were not going well, tried to escape, but was punched to pieces by Shi Jing, and the pieces were scattered all over the ground.
"Such formidable strength!"
"Even our Qin family's guards were no match for them; they were all killed!" Witnessing this scene, Old Master Qin trembled involuntarily, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
At that moment, the sound of police sirens grew louder as a dozen police cars lined up and headed toward the lakeside.
Tourists quickly moved aside to avoid being accidentally bumped.
"Why are there so many police cars?" someone asked, puzzled.
"Something must have happened up ahead, otherwise the police wouldn't have been mobilized on such a large scale," someone said.
"Let's go take a look..." Then, all the tourists followed the vehicles and surged towards the west.
But when they were halfway there, they were stopped by several police officers who said it was dangerous ahead and the area was temporarily closed.
"Director Yan is here!" The police car stopped on the west side, the door opened, and a middle-aged police chief with a big belly got out.
The police captain immediately went over and greeted him.
"Who is the murderer?" he nodded and asked.
"Them," the captain said, pointing to Gu Yue and Shi Jing respectively.
"The one with the knife is the murderer, and the one with short hair is an accomplice!" the captain said.
"Hmm." Yan Li waved his hand, and the police officers who got out of the car behind him immediately drew their pistols and aimed them at the two men.
"Director Yan, you must get justice for me!"
"They not only killed my son, but also so many people from the Qin family," Old Master Qin said to Director Yan as he approached.
"Hmm." Yan Li nodded, his gaze turning to Gu Yue. "Why did you kill him?"
"Let me explain." Zhu Zhen walked over and smiled slightly. "His son harassed a woman and instructed his bodyguard to commit violence and injury. My friend couldn't stand it and taught him a lesson."
"After that, he brought a group of people, wanting to cause trouble for my friend, so I asked my driver to stop them, and that's how what just happened happened!"
"These police officers arrested people indiscriminately as soon as they arrived, so my driver was given a little lesson!"
"Chief, don't believe his nonsense. How could my son do such a thing? Arrest them and execute them!" Old Master Qin said to Yan Li.
“I think these surveillance cameras around here aren’t just for show. If you don’t believe me, you can pull up the footage and you’ll see for yourself,” Zhu Zhen said, shaking his head.
"Go check the surveillance footage," Yan Li said to a police officer behind him after thinking for a moment.
"Yes." The officer turned and quickly left.
He returned shortly afterward. "Chief, the surveillance system has been broken for a long time. It's just for show now."
He reported this.
"Since the surveillance cameras are broken, we can't know what happened!"
"Then take them all down and investigate them!" Yan Li said with a wave of his hand.
"You dare?" Zhu Zhen looked at Yan Li with a cold smile on his face.
"Of course I dare!"
"This is Jiangnan. Even if the Crown Prince comes here, he will still be arrested if he breaks the law!" Yan Li shoved out his belly and said with a sneer.
"Is that so?" Zhu Zhen shook his head.
"It seems that some corrupt officials will need to be purged during this trip to Jiangnan!"
"Gu Yue!"
"Yes." Gu Yue raised her wrist, and a green light flew towards Yan Li. Yan Li instinctively grabbed it, and upon seeing what it was, his expression immediately changed drastically, and his body trembled involuntarily.
This is a jade pendant that is entirely emerald green, with a dragon's head on the front and a dragon's tail on the back.
Between the dragon's head and tail, there is a character engraved: God, Dragon!
This is a unique token of the Divine Dragon Guard.
The Divine Dragon Guard, on the other hand, was a special guard unit of the royal family.
Responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family.
Their status and position were even higher than those of the Black-Clad Guards who protected the Central Secretariat.
And slightly higher than the Winged Tiger Guards who guard the Elders' Council.
The woman with the knife possessed the Divine Dragon Token, making her identity self-evident.
The young man before them was undoubtedly the son of the head of state.
"Thump." Yan Li knelt on the ground. "This humble servant was blind and offended Your Highness. Please forgive me!"
"Your Highness!" Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised.
"Kneel down right now!" Yan Li roared, and all the police officers immediately knelt down.
(Political terms are replaced with "royal family".)
