Wancheng West District, in the grand hall of Chen Zhengrong's old-fashioned villa, the Wind, Thunder, and Lightning Three Demons walked in together!

"Master Chen, there's been trouble!" Wind Demon began to speak.

"Hmm?"

"Master Chen, the group of people we sent to deal with the old lady messed up!" Wind Demon glanced at Chen Zhengrong and said.

In order to destroy the evidence of Liu Zecheng's crimes, Chen Zhengrong intended to take action, and Lin Mu was targeted by the Wind, Thunder, and Lightning Three Demons, while the old lady was handled by the dozen of men under their command.

"What? A dozen men couldn't handle a small-time player and an old lady?" Chen Zhengrong's facial muscles twitched slightly. Are you all **** grown-ups?

"It started smoothly. We effortlessly took down Lin Mu's follower, but just as we were about to deal with the old lady, four experts suddenly appeared and completely subjugated our men!" Wind Demon said.

"Four experts?"

"Yes, four masked individuals with exceptional skills. They didn't give our men any chance to resist, took care of all of them without saying a word, and drove off immediately, nowhere to be found!" Wind Demon said.

Chen Zhengrong furrowed his brows, feeling curious, "Weren't the people on the other side from Flying Dragon?"

"No, if they were Flying Dragon's people, they wouldn't need to disguise themselves and hide their faces!" Wind Demon said.

"Heh, that's strange. Who else would help Lin Mu?" Chen Zhengrong couldn't help but sneer.

Wind Demon glanced at Chen Zhengrong, looking like he had something to say but couldn't or didn't dare say it.

"Say whatever is on your mind!" Chen Zhengrong looked at Wind Demon.

"Master Chen, do you think those people could be Sect Leader Huo's?" Wind Demon asked tentatively.

Chen Zhengrong frowned deeply, "Huo Yanggen?"

"Yes, Master Chen, I think this matter is related to Huo Yanggen!" Wind Demon said.

Chen Zhengrong slightly closed his eyes and then said, "Huo Yanggen is no longer our former big boss. Without evidence, don't say such things recklessly. After all, we're still part of Heaven and Earth Society, and Huo Yanggen shouldn't help outsiders against us!"

Wind Demon nodded, glancing at Chen Zhengrong, having a lot to say but never voiced. However, Chen Zhengrong could understand what Wind Demon was about to say, no need for words.

Even if it was Huo Yanggen, they couldn't do anything to him. Without evidence, without violating the major taboos in the gang, there was nothing they could do to him. The priority now is to find a way to get Liu Zecheng out!

"Master Chen, what should we do now?" Wind Demon asked.

Chen Zhengrong closed his eyes and pondered for a while before slowly opening them, only for a sharp glint emitting from his old eyes, sending a chill down one's spine!

The facts are already before them; the old lady is surely protected now. Trying to exploit this is clearly useless, Lin Mu is not a fool, he wouldn't fall twice in the same place!

If Qi Manlin submits the evidence, Liu Zecheng will definitely be sentenced immediately. Once judged by the court, he'll be hard to evade calamity. Rescuing Liu Zecheng through force would be extremely difficult, so Chen Zhengrong decided to go all in, there's no other way, but to act decisively!

"Find a way to kidnap Qi Manlin and use her to exchange for Liu Zecheng!" Chen Zhengrong said firmly.

"Kidnap Qi Manlin? Master Chen, she's the police chief. If we do it, things might escalate greatly, we could all get involved!" Wind Demon said.

"There's no other alternative in this situation. I can't watch my brother be locked up. We swore brotherhood, facing life and death together, striving together; I can't just ignore it. Anyway, I'm already old, dying now or later makes no difference, so I'll take the chance!" Chen Zhengrong said coldly, but his tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

Wind Demon had been with Chen Zhengrong for over twenty years, completely understanding their brother-like relationship. In the underworld, life and death loyalty is vividly demonstrated, especially by the older generations, making this sentiment especially profound!

"Master Chen, I'll go make arrangements now!" Wind Demon nodded and withdrew from the hall.

The Wind, Thunder, and Lightning Three Demons joined Heaven and Earth Society in their teens. Back then, they were mere small-timers, not even considered minor roles, and Chen Zhengrong was only a small leader. They were brought up by Chen Zhengrong!

In the underworld, fighting for territories and living blood-and-guts days, it's wild compared to ordinary life, as they metaphorically live with their heads tied to their waistbands. The Wind, Thunder, and Lightning Three Demons frequently faced life-and-death crises, always rescued by Chen Zhengrong, so whatever arrangements Chen Zhengrong makes, no matter what he asks them to do, they'll do it!

This is the unwritten rule of the underworld, where brotherly love and the code of the streets are extraordinarily valuable!

In the afternoon, Qi Manlin was at the police bureau, making a new record of the evidence against Liu Zecheng, sorting out all the incriminating evidence, finishing at about eight or nine in the evening. Qi Manlin stretched in her office, picked up her car keys, and left the office!

As she got to her car, Qi Manlin drove out of the police bureau. Shortly after leaving, a black Nissan without a license plate followed. After a short distance, Qi Manlin's car jolted several times, clearly beginning to veer off. Qi Manlin quickly stopped the car and found the left rear tire deflating!

Just as Qi Manlin attempted to open the car door, dazzling headlights flashed over her. Qi Manlin had become much more alert than before, particularly at this sensitive moment, so she was exceptionally cautious. Seeing the glaring light, Qi Manlin sensed danger, promptly taking out her phone to call Lin Mu!

Before the call connected, there was the sound of screeching brakes, and a black Nissan pulled up beside Qi Manlin's police car. Qi Manlin found Lin Mu's number and dialed it immediately, choosing to trust her protector, Lin Mu, at this critical moment!

Bang! The sound of a baseball bat hitting the car window was followed by a crash, shattering the glass completely. Several masked men got out of the car and started smashing Qi Manlin's car windows forcefully, glass pieces scattered everywhere!

Qi Manlin screamed in terror, "Ah!" dropping her phone, yet the call was still in progress. With glass shattered, Qi Manlin had no place to hide. A masked man opened the car door and violently dragged Qi Manlin out!
