"Director Zhao?"

Seeing the newcomer, Ye Feng frowned and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a middle-aged man in uniform with a sullen expression striding over.

Although Ye Feng didn't know him, he was surprised to find that the man was quite powerful, already at the level of a King of Soldiers.

Of course, such strength would be impressive to the average person, but to Ye Feng, who could easily slay even a God of War, it was no different from an ant.

Back when Ye Feng was in prison, he was invited by the military to train the Shenzhou Guard. Even the weakest among them had reached the level of a King of Soldiers, and some of the outstanding ones had even become Gods of War.

Now, those he had trained were scattered across the country, each leading their own region.

Naturally, Ye Feng wouldn't take someone nearing the strength of a King of Soldiers seriously. He was just curious about the attitude of this person coming here.

If he was like Li Shi, Ye Feng wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.

"Director Zhao, you're finally here."

Seeing Director Zhao, Li Shi hurriedly got up from the ground, bowed, and greeted him.

He had been somewhat afraid of Ye Feng just now, but seeing the newcomer gave him confidence.

The man Li Shi called Director Zhao was named Zhao An. He wasn't an ordinary person; he used to be in the military's special forces but later retired and transitioned to become the deputy director of the Liancheng police department due to an injury.

Zhao An glanced at Li Shi, showing a hint of disgust, and then looked at his limp arm. With his years of military experience, he could tell at a glance that Li Shi's arm was broken.

Having been with the Liancheng police department for years, he naturally knew what kind of person Li Shi was. However, regardless of the circumstances, assaulting a patrol officer was no small matter.

As the deputy director of the police department, he couldn't ignore this matter and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

"Director Zhao, this kid just got out of prison and tried to seize someone else's house. I came to handle it and got injured instead."

Li Shi turned the tables, pointing at Ye Feng and accusing him first.

Zhao An wasn't easily fooled and didn't fully believe Li Shi's words. He walked up to Ye Feng and said, "Just got out of prison?"

Ye Feng sized him up, his face calm, and nodded.

"Officer, don't believe him. He's a fugitive. Hurry up and take him away, better yet, execute him!"

Liu Hong, standing nearby, shouted loudly, showing her shrewish nature.

She wished Ye Feng would die soon so no one would block her path to wealth.

Seeing this, Ye Feng handed the release certificate from Xili Prison to Zhao An.

"Ye Feng?"

Zhao An was taken aback. The name wasn't unfamiliar to him. Ye Feng's case had caused quite a stir back then, and he had heard some rumors.

When he saw that the certificate was issued by Xili Prison, his expression changed dramatically, looking at Ye Feng in disbelief.

Others might not have heard of Xili Prison, but Zhao An knew it well. It was the most terrifying prison in Shenzhou.

Located in the vast uninhabited area of northwestern Shenzhou, it held only the most heinous criminals and some martial arts experts, known as the death prison where even viruses wouldn't come out alive.

Back then, Zhao An's unit had been stationed at Xili Prison, and in three years, they had never seen anyone released from there.

Seeing the release certificate Ye Feng handed over, he could hardly believe that someone could walk out of there alive.

After looking at Li Shi's broken bones, he instantly understood. The young man in front of him was definitely not simple.

Inside, there were no shortage of experts, and even someone at the level of a King of Soldiers might not necessarily win against those prisoners.

Let alone someone like Li Shi.

He repeatedly verified the release certificate, and it was undoubtedly genuine, not a forgery.

Although he had retired nearly ten years ago, he was still very familiar with the special seal on it.

Since the other party was legally released, he had no reason to arrest Ye Feng. At the same time, he held Ye Feng in higher regard, no longer looking down on him as before.

Li Shi, seeing Zhao An hesitating and repeatedly looking at the release certificate, began to feel anxious.

"Director Zhao, no need to look further. This kid assaulted a police officer. Just cuff him and take him back to the station."

Zhao An was already not fond of Li Shi, and seeing him dare to command in front of him, his face turned cold.

"Do I need you to tell me how to do my job? Get lost."

Li Shi was immediately at a loss for words, trembling and not daring to continue.

Seeing this, Ye Feng's impression of Director Zhao improved significantly. At least from his attitude, he wouldn't be in cahoots with people like Li Shi and Zhou Hai.

"Your documents are in order."

Zhao An returned the release certificate to Ye Feng and then asked, "What exactly is going on between you?"

As soon as Zhao An asked, before Ye Feng could speak, Liu Hong hurriedly came forward, complaining, "Director Zhao, you must get to the bottom of this. He not only wants to take our house but also injured us."

Hearing this, Zhao An looked up at Ye Feng, secretly wary. The prisoners in Xili Prison were all extremely vicious. Hurting someone was nothing to them, let alone killing.

Ye Feng sneered at her words, "Liu Hong, we've been neighbors for years. When did my family's house become yours?"

"Hmph, we have the house sale contract your mother signed back then."

"What? You don't acknowledge it now?"

"Honey, show the contract to Director Zhao."

With Zhao An present, Zhou Hai didn't dare to be arrogant. At most, he was a local thug, and no matter how tough he was, he wouldn't dare act up in front of a deputy director.

He quickly ran over and handed the contract to Zhao An.

Zhao An examined it carefully and found nothing wrong. It had Chen Mei's signature and a bright red fingerprint.

Zhao An handed the contract to Ye Feng and asked, "Is this your mother's fingerprint?"

Ye Feng took it in hand and immediately saw that the contract was forged. The signature wasn't his mother's.

He had been tutored by Chen Mei since childhood and was very familiar with his mother's handwriting.

Although it was eighty percent similar, he was sure it wasn't his mother's signature.

Ye Feng tossed the contract aside and said sternly, "Zhou Hai, you're something else. To seize my family's house, you actually forged a contract."

"Hmph, you say it's forged? That's clearly Chen Mei's signature."

Liu Hong insisted.

Ye Feng's mother had passed away, making it impossible to verify the handwriting, which was the confidence Zhou Hai and his wife had.

As long as the other party couldn't prove the contract they held was fake, the house would be theirs.

Just as they were showing victorious smiles, Ye Feng took a letter from his worn-out bag and handed it to Zhao An, saying, "This letter was written by my mother to me. You'll know the truth at a glance."
