The night was getting dark and a drizzle began to fall from the sky, and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped Xiasha.
Zhou Yi and his companions approached the Xiasha Archway step by step, holding black umbrellas. When they got closer, they found that there were five coffins being carried behind them. There was also a large crowd of people standing in the archway, and flashes of swords could be seen from time to time.
The members of the 'Flying Eagle Gang' in the archway were also on high alert, with cruelty on every face. It was obvious at a glance that most of them were desperate criminals. At this moment, they were ready and were just waiting for the order to charge with knives.
But Zhou Yi and the others did not stop, and moved closer to the five corpses with determination. When they were less than ten meters away from the archway, Zhou Yi stopped and looked around.
He Zhan and Lao Jin looked at her in confusion. Lao Jin couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"
Zhou Yi pointed to the tallest building behind the archway and said softly, "If I were Long Yingnian, I would stand there."
Lao Jin and He Zhan followed Zhou Yi's gaze and saw the night dance hall in Xiasha. There were only a few buildings around with dim lights on. The large neon lights of the night dance hall made the entire Xiasha Avenue look more prominent and mysterious in the night rain.
Zhou Yi's guess was correct. There was indeed someone standing in front of the window on the top floor of the dance hall staring at them, but this person was not Long Yingnian, but Long Yan.
In Long Yingnian's opinion, only Su Mingzhe is his opponent, and no one else is worthy of his appearance.
Long Yan stared at Zhou Yi who was standing outside the archway. He really didn't expect that she would dare to come, and he didn't expect that she would take the risk for these people who were not worth dying for.
If his grandfather Long Yingnian had not told him not to create trouble at this time, he would never let Zhou Yi leave Xiasha and would have captured her on the spot.
In just one year, he suffered countless losses at the hands of Zhou Yi and never had the upper hand.
But he would not take Zhou Yi's life. To Long Yan, Zhou Yi was special. Compared to taking her life, Long Yan wanted to keep her by his side and let her stand by his side for the rest of her life.
No one knew what he was thinking, not even Long Yingnian.
"Junior sister, you stay here. I'll bring people over to carry Xiaobai and the others over." He Zhan glanced at the dance hall, then looked at Zhou Yi worriedly and said.
After Zhou Yi's words, He Zhan also felt that someone in the dance hall was staring at them. Although he couldn't see the person, he knew that this person was either Long Yingnian or Long Yan.
"Yes, Xiaoyi, you wait here, we will come over." Lao Jin agreed with He Zhan's statement.
Lao Jin and his brothers were already filled with gratitude and conviction that Zhou Yineng could bring people to Xiasha Avenue. It was already admirable that a woman could achieve this.
"No need. If they wanted to stop us, they would have already done it." Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze from the dance hall. "I'll go with you."
He Zhan and Lao Jin didn't say anything else, they knew it was useless to say anything.
When they arrived at the archway, Lao Jin and He Zhan led people to carry the five bodies down from the shelves. They also brought coroners to tidy up their appearance on the spot. After that, they carefully carried the bodies into the coffins.
The whole process was very slow. The people behind Zhou Yi kept a close eye on the people from the Flying Eagle Gang in the archway. They were also ready to take action at any time. The two sides faced each other, and the people from the Flying Eagle Gang looked back from time to time, wondering why they had not received the order to take action yet.
Seeing Zhou Yi and the others openly "collecting corpses" in front of them was a great shame and humiliation for the "Flying Eagle Gang". When had anyone ever dared to be so arrogant in front of the "Flying Eagle Gang"?
So they couldn't understand why the higher-ups hadn't given the order to take action yet.
Zhou Yi stared at the dance hall. She knew that the people upstairs must be looking at this side as well.
Time passed little by little, and after the five bodies were dealt with, Zhou Yi led them out of the archway step by step.
The members of the Flying Eagle Gang were furious. They found it hard to accept. Some of the troublemakers even couldn't help but run towards the outside of the archway.
"Come back." A voice sounded, and the people who ran out were stunned where they were.
Zhou Yi also heard it. It was Long Yan's voice. She turned around and looked in the direction of Long Yan.
"Miss Zhou, long time no see." Long Yan walked to the entrance of the archway, looked at Zhou Yi and said in a deep voice.
Zhou Yi took two steps towards Long Yan, followed closely by He Zhan and Lao Jin. She looked at Long Yan coldly and said, "Master Long, cherish the present moment."
Long Yan took a few steps forward, staring closely at Zhou Yi. He sneered and said, "Miss Zhou, your courage and bravery are truly admirable. There's still a long way to go. Who knows, one day you might not be standing across from me, but right here."
After saying this, Long Yan pointed to the spot beside him.
"Long Yan, don't be so arrogant." He Zhan pointed at Long Yan and said coldly.
Long Yan just glanced at him, then looked at Zhou Yi and continued, "Miss Zhou, see you later." After that, Long Yan turned and walked towards the archway.
Zhou Yi glanced at Long Yan, then turned around and led her men away. The most important thing in her mind now was to bury Xiaobai and the others first, and then settle the accounts with the Long family.
After they returned to their base, they held a funeral for Xiaobai and the others according to local customs.
According to folk customs, burial was not until the third day. Lao Jin brought all the brothers from Xiasha to see Xiaobai and the others off for the last time.
After the funeral, Zhou Yi, He Zhan, Lao Jin and Gao Zhengjun sat in the small courtyard. Because of what happened to Xiaobai and the others, everyone was upset and the atmosphere was very heavy.
"Brother Gao, what's the situation in the bamboo forest?" Zhou Yi asked.
"The people we sent out yesterday came back to report that there was a situation in the Zhuzilin village. Xiaoyi, with your keen sense, it would be a waste if you didn't become a police officer." Gao Zhengjun looked at Zhou Yi and said.
He really admired Zhou Yi from the bottom of his heart. They had never thought that the Long family's pharmaceutical factory in Xiasha would be located in a bamboo forest and in an indigenous village.
According to the people who came back to report, if it weren't for a careful investigation, it would have been impossible to discover that the village was the pharmaceutical factory. The division of labor was broken down to each household, and different families were assigned according to different processes.
The addresses and people of every household work for the Long Family Pharmaceutical Factory, and everyone is very protective of the Long Family. After all, the entire village depends on the Long Family Pharmaceutical Factory for survival.
Therefore, if Gao Zhengjun had not emphasized not to miss any details when he sent people out, they would never have discovered that this village was actually the Long family pharmaceutical factory.
"Brother Gao, are there any residents of Zhuzilin Village who have fallen ill?" Zhou Yi was not surprised at all that something happened in Zhuzilin. She was more concerned about the condition of the people inside.
"I have asked people to investigate this, but no information has been received yet." Gao Zhengjun also thought of this. If the villagers of Zhuzilin did not get sick because of the pharmaceutical factory, then they would have no reason to enter the village for investigation, which is very tricky.
