The SSSSSSSS-level Mad Dragon is released from prison!

Haicheng Police Station, Chief's Office.

"Snapped!"

A heavy folder was slammed onto the desk, causing the water in the teacup to splash out.

Director Wei Zheng's chest heaved violently as he pointed at Xiao Ruoye, who stood ramrod straight in front of him, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire floor.

"Xiao Ruoye! Who gave you that right?!"

"Without a search warrant or prior notification, they led an elite squad to storm the penthouse suite of a five-star hotel?"

"And the result?"

He was so angry that he walked around the table and stood in front of Xiao Ruoye, almost spitting on her face.

"Forty fully armed SWAT officers were disarmed by one person!"

"Your own service pistol got twisted into a pretzel!"

"Do you know what's being said outside? They're saying our Haicheng police force is a paper tiger!"

"You've completely disgraced the Haicheng police force!"

Xiao Ruoye lowered her head and remained silent.

Her short, jet-black hair obscured her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.

Seeing her defiant attitude, Wei Zheng became even more furious.

"Speak! Are you mute?"

"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, you're getting out of here, stripped of this uniform!"

Xiao Ruoye finally raised her head.

There was no trace of regret in her phoenix eyes; instead, they burned with a kind of obsessive light.

"Chief, I suspect he's involved in the Ye family massacre. According to the guests that day, Jiang Chen had a conflict with the Ye family."

"Moreover, he has a criminal record. Jiang Chen was imprisoned five years ago for intentional assault and was only recently released after serving his sentence."

Wei Zheng pointed to Xiao Ye's head.

"Why would someone who's just been released from prison wipe out the entire Ye family?"

"According to the information, apart from Ye Tian, ​​the head of the Ye family, and one elder, everyone else at the scene died from poisoning."

"The disappearance of the Ye family might be related to Jiang Chen. But the massacre of the entire Ye family is definitely not." "It seems more like they were silenced to prevent them from revealing anything."

Xiao Ruoye retorted.

"Even if it wasn't him, he must have known some clues."

"As long as we bring them back and interrogate them, there will always be progress."

"Moreover, he could see through my old ailment at a glance, a disease that even the best doctors in the capital couldn't diagnose."

Wei Zheng was momentarily speechless at her words, then became even angrier.

"Xiao Ruoye, I think you've gone mad!"

"I don't care who he is! Immediately stop all your investigations into him!"

"The Ye family massacre case has already been handled by a special task force; you don't need to get involved!"

"Starting today, you are suspended from your duties and must reflect on your actions! You may come back to see me when you have figured things out!"

"Chief!"

"Get out!"

Xiao Ruoye bit her lower lip tightly, a faint taste of blood rising in her mouth.

She did not argue further.

He saluted, then turned and left.

As she walked out of the office and closed the door, she pulled the pistol, which had been twisted into a pretzel, from her pocket.

The cold, metallic touch gradually calmed her trembling hands, which had been shaking with anger.

"He won't live past three years..."

Jiang Chen's words, tinged with pity, echoed repeatedly in her mind.

"Jiang Chen..."

She pronounced the name slowly and deliberately, the light in her eyes growing even more dangerous.

……

At the same time.

Haicheng Martial Arts Association, top level.

The luxurious room was covered with thick Persian carpets, and the air was filled with the mixed aroma of expensive cigars and red wine.

A young man dressed in a white silk training uniform was leaning back on a huge leather sofa.

He had a handsome face, but his brows carried an inescapable air of eccentricity and arrogance.

He is Guo Tianhao, the only son of Guo Zhenxiong, the president of the Haicheng Martial Arts Association.

A subordinate dressed in black bowed before him and reported in a low voice.

"Young Master, the news has been confirmed."

"The Ye family manor was massacred last night. Ye Canglan, his son Ye Tian, ​​and the chief retainer Black Serpent were all killed."

"The person who did it is unknown, only that his surname is Jiang."

Guo Tianhao swirled the red liquid in his wine glass, a cruel smile spreading across his lips.

"That old bastard Ye Canglan has been entrenched in the western district of Haicheng for so many years, it's time for a change of masters."

"Pass on my message."

Guo Tianhao downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.

"From today onwards, all of the Ye family's territories and businesses will belong to the Guo family."

"Anyone who dares to reach out will have their claws chopped off."

"Yes, young master," the subordinate replied, then hesitated for a moment, "There's one more thing..."

"explain."

"This afternoon, Xiao Ruoye from the Criminal Investigation Division led a team to raid the Hilton Hotel, seemingly also in pursuit of that young man surnamed Jiang."

"As a result... the entire team was disarmed, and Xiao Ruoye himself was also..."

His subordinates dared not say anything more.

Guo Tianhao stopped moving, slowly raised his head, and a highly aggressive glint flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Ruoye?"

He licked his lips, like a wild beast eyeing its prey.

"Even Haicheng, this thorny and domineering flower, has its moments of weakness?"

"interesting."

"This is so interesting!"

He stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the myriad lights of Haicheng.

"A powerful figure who could wipe out the Ye family, a man who could make Xiao Ruoye bow her head..."

"I've suddenly become very interested in him."

Guo Tianhao turned around, his smile turning sinister.

"Go, find that guy surnamed Jiang for me."

"If you can't find one alive, bring me his head."

"in addition."

He paused, his possessiveness undisguised in his eyes.

"Tell Xiao Ruoye that only I, Guo Tianhao, am worthy of a woman like her."

"Tell her to stop investigating, clean herself up, and wait to become the young mistress of the Guo family."

"In this Haicheng, the Ye family has fallen."

He stretched out his hand as if to hold the entire city in his palm.

"My Guo family is the new order!"

The words fell.

"Click—"

The crystal goblet in his hand shattered with a crack.

Glass shards pierced his palm, drawing blood, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, letting the blood drip onto the expensive carpet.

Half an hour later.

Haicheng is home to numerous underground casinos, nightclubs, and bathhouses of all sizes.

In countless dark corners, cell phones lit up simultaneously.

In an encrypted internal communication software, a bounty notice, highlighted in bold red, was placed at the top of the most prominent position.

[Haicheng Martial Arts Association Kill Order]

[Target: Jiang Chen, male, around 25 years old.]

[Characteristics: Extremely skilled in combat and ruthless in methods.]

[Reward: 50 million.]

[Regardless of life or death!]

Below the bounty poster is a slightly blurry photo.

In the photo, a young man dressed in inexpensive casual clothes is walking out of a herbal medicine shop. The girl next to him is smiling sweetly, while he is just looking calmly ahead.

The background of the photo is the medicinal herb market where Xiao Ruoye confronted him during the day.

As the kill order spread, the entire underworld of Haicheng, like a killing machine that had been activated, began to slowly operate.

Countless greedy eyes were fixed on the seemingly ordinary young man in the photo.
