I was just telling a story, why is the whole internet urging me to turn myself in?

Inside the Grand penthouse at Cloud Top, the moment the screen went black, the surroundings also fell into darkness.

"Clatter".

Shen Feng put his legs down from the computer desk and blinked in the darkness.

"Seriously? A top-tier river-view luxury apartment with a monthly rent of 100,000 yuan, and this is the level of service from the property management? Not even a backup power outlet?"

Shen Feng muttered to himself, his heart filled with resentment as an ordinary citizen who had paid an exorbitant rent.

He fumbled in his pockets, looking for his phone for light, only to find that he had carelessly tossed it onto the marble coffee table outside after finishing his live stream.

"Well, I'll have to go out and get it in the dark."

Shen Feng yawned, slipped on his flip-flops, and swayed as he pushed open the door to the gaming room and walked toward the spacious, dark living room.

The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, except for the "pat-pat" of Shen Feng's slippers hitting the wooden floor.

Under the cover of darkness, a ghostly figure silently pressed itself against the load-bearing pillar of the entrance hall.

The venomous snake's breathing had slowed to a mere four breaths per minute, its night vision honed to perfection in the tropical rainforests of the country.

Even in a completely dark room, he could still pinpoint his prey, who was swaggering toward the coffee table, by the slightest change in airflow.

"Too lax."

Beneath the mask, a cruel smirk curled at the corner of the snake's mouth.

As expected, he's just a charlatan who relies on his words to fool people. He not only failed to set up any defenses, but he also didn't even know to be alert when the power went out.

That three million US dollars was practically handed to them for free.

The venomous snake held its breath, tiptoed, and silently glided to Shen Feng's side and behind.

Two meters.

one meter.

Half a meter!

The moment Shen Feng's hand touched the edge of the marble coffee table, the venomous snake's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

He gripped the dark blue triangular military dagger in his backhand, his muscles suddenly tensed, and he stabbed it viciously at Shen Feng's right scapula joint with a tricky and ruthless angle!

If this strike hits, the target's entire right arm will instantly suffer nerve damage, rendering it completely useless.

A gust of wind hits your face!

At this critical moment.

The master-level fighting instincts that have long been perfectly integrated into their bones, and the absolute spatial awareness given by extreme parkour, are suddenly awakened the moment they encounter the ultimate physical threat!

"Whoosh—"

The military dagger pierced the air with a chilling whistling sound, but miraculously slid past Shen Feng's clothes.

The snake's pupils constricted sharply: "How is this possible?!"

In his incredulous gaze, the prey before him completed a side slide at a twisted angle that defied the principles of human biomechanics, starting with zero frames.

Before the venomous snake could draw his knife to defend himself, a large hand emerged from the darkness, precisely gripping his wrist as he held the knife.

"Click".

A sharp, teeth-grinding crack.

Shen Feng simply twisted his fingers lightly at a few specific acupoints and joint connections, and the venomous snake felt as if the ulnar nerve in his right arm had been instantly pierced by a high-voltage electric current. The intense numbness made him unable to hold his weapon any longer.

"Clang." The triangular military dagger fell onto the pure wool carpet.

Shen Feng was expressionless, his eyes were empty yet exuded an absolute sense of oppression.

With the support of [top-level fighting techniques], every muscle fiber and every joint movement of his is now precisely in an outrageous golden ratio.

The venomous snake was terrified. Years of life-and-death experience made him realize immediately that he had kicked a titanium alloy steel plate!

This man is by no means some weak scholar who can't even kill a chicken. This kind of close-range grappling that he can do so with ease is at least the work of a top-notch ancient martial arts master or a monster at the level of an MI6 instructor!

Escape! We must escape!

With a sudden flick of his left hand, the viper instantly caught three steel needles coated with venom between his fingers and shot them toward Shen Feng's face. At the same time, he pushed off with both legs, preparing to smash through the floor-to-ceiling window and jump to escape. Even though it was the 28th floor, he had a 30% chance of survival with the help of a specially made rappelling tool.

However, he was facing a cheater whose physiological attributes were maxed out by the system.

Shen Feng didn't even lower his head; he merely tilted it slightly. Three poisoned needles grazed his earlobe and embedded themselves in the wallpaper behind him.

At the same time, Shen Feng's right leg, like a steel whip, silently rose from below, delivering a standard and violent low sweep that precisely struck the back of the snake's left knee as it left the ground.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking was exceptionally clear in the silent darkness.

"Ugh—!" The snake's eyes widened, and the scream that was only half-uttered in its throat was forcibly swallowed back.

Because Shen Feng's left hand had somehow already grabbed his chin, pulling it down along the jawbone and lifting it up.

"Clatter."

My jaw is dislocated.

The entire process took less than two seconds.

From the moment the venomous snake launched its attack to the moment he collapsed to the ground like a dead dog with its tendons pulled out, only three moves had passed.

There are no fancy special effects, only extreme efficiency and overwhelming power.

Only then did the state of system hosting recede like the tide.

Holy crap!

Shen Feng suddenly came to his senses, only to find his palms covered in cold sweat and his heart pounding wildly.

What just happened? I think I tore someone apart with my eyes closed?

He looked down at the dark figure convulsing in pain at his feet, then at the gleaming blade lying on the carpet beside him, and a belated sense of dread washed over him.

"Is the security in Jiangzhou this bad now? Is the property management company just sitting around doing nothing?!" Shen Feng complained inwardly as he reached for his phone on the coffee table and turned on the flashlight.

Under the bright light, the man on the ground was wearing a black bodysuit with no reflective material, a hood, and his eyes showed a look of terror.

"Good heavens, you're stealing with a controlled knife? With your skills, you think you can burglarize a house?"

Shen Feng pursed his lips. Adhering to the principle that good citizens should not let criminals escape, he looked around and pulled out a spare network cable more than ten meters long from behind the TV cabinet.

Shen Feng squatted down and deftly folded the other man's hands and feet behind his back, binding him tightly like a pig tied up in the countryside, turning the man in black who was trying to resist into a tightly wrapped dumpling.

"Alright, just stay put. I'll call the police station to pick you up later. It's the middle of the night, you're keeping me waiting to order some late-night snacks."

Shen Feng patted the dust off his hands, yawned deeply, and turned to rummage through the drawers.

He was so startled that it seemed like a mosquito had taken the opportunity to fly in. He needed to find a lighter and light a mosquito coil to calm his nerves.

……

At the same time, inside room 2802 of Yunding Yipin, which is separated by only one wall.

Su Qing, the captain of the special case monitoring team of the Jiangzhou Criminal Investigation Detachment, stared at the surveillance map of Xinhua Bookstore in Jiangzhou on the computer screen, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

Just five minutes ago, she issued the order to seal off the bookstore, and now the entire security force in Jiangzhou is frantically operating around Shen Feng's casual remark.

Suddenly, there was a muffled "thud".

All equipment in room 2802 lost power instantly, and even the surveillance lights used as a cover outside the corridor went out.

Su Qing's heart skipped a beat, and all the nerves in her body instantly tensed to the limit.

"Power outage? And the backup line isn't activated either?" Su Qing quickly reached for her sidearm in the darkness. Her professional instincts told her that this was no ordinary wiring malfunction!

The electrical distribution room in these top-tier mansions has an extremely high level of security, unless someone deliberately damages the main power line.

"Oh no! They're heading for the neighbor's house!"

Countless thoughts flashed through Su Qing's mind in an instant.

Did Li Donghai resort to desperate measures and hire someone to kill Shen Feng? Or did the $3 million bounty on Shen Feng, which was just posted on the dark web, finally take effect?

Regardless of the outcome, if a third-party force were to eliminate Shen Feng at this critical juncture, or force this highly intelligent "master of crime" to go on a killing spree, the sky would fall over Jiangzhou!

"Bang!"

Su Qing kicked open the door to her room, pulled out her pistol, gripped a tactical flashlight in her left hand, and rushed towards room 2801 across the hall.

"Don't move! Jiangzhou Criminal Investigation Bureau!"
