The flashlight swept over, and a dark shadow darted through the air, moving forward at incredible speed.

Li Xiangdong didn't have time to think much, and he raised his hand to fire a burst of shots. In a second, he fired six bullets. Although visibility in the darkness wasn't great, Li Xiangdong was certain that every shot hit its mark. The rest would depend on how tough this eagle beast was.

The dark shadow, like a hit fighter jet, wobbled in the air and finally couldn't hold on, crashing to the ground.

There was no violent explosion like a plane crash, but the fall was certainly severe.

Li Xiangdong, holding the gun in one hand and the flashlight in the other, approached the beast step by step.

When he finally reached the beast, he saw that it was almost dead, leaving only a large eagle carcass on the ground, riddled with over a dozen bullet holes, showing that none of the shots had missed.

Although this was a beast that had cultivated for over two hundred years, it still couldn't withstand the power of modern firearms and met its end by the gun.

The large eagle carcass was still somewhat intimidating. To avoid drawing attention, Li Xiangdong decided to find a place to bury it.

But just as he approached the carcass, the jade gourd hanging around his neck suddenly emitted a bright green light. Before he could react, the jade gourd flew into the air as if it had come to life. The gourd's mouth turned, and the eagle carcass was naturally sucked into it. Then, the gourd, like a drunk person, wobbled and fell from the sky. Li Xiangdong quickly caught it, but it was scorching hot. The originally green gourd had turned blood red.

Since the first time he used the jade gourd to refine a beast's core, he hadn't used it again. It was a family treasure, and he didn't dare keep it at home for fear of it being stolen, so he always wore it as a pendant. He never expected that the jade gourd would suddenly come to life this time.

Now that the gourd had suddenly exerted its power and absorbed the eagle carcass, he wasn't sure what to do next. He could only clumsily hang it back around his neck.

Li Xiangdong returned to the hotel in a daze. As soon as he entered, he saw An Jianing pacing back and forth in the lobby. An Jianing's eyes lit up when she saw him enter.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

"No, by the way, where's Brother Shen?"

Li Xiangdong suddenly remembered Shen Chunyang, who had gone outside to make a call. When the eagle beast attacked, Shen Chunyang hadn't returned, and he was a bit worried that the guy might have been caught off guard.

"He was knocked out. I helped him back to the room earlier, and he just woke up. He's been worried about your safety and asked me to find you. But when I came out, you were already gone. What about that guy? Did you catch him?"

An Jianing asked with concern, and Li Xiangdong could only laugh it off.

"I chased him to a small valley and fired a few shots. It was too dark, and he got away. I couldn't catch him. Let's go back and check on Brother Shen."

Without waiting for An Jianing's response, he got on the elevator.

When they returned to the room, they saw Shen Chunyang lying in bed. He was on the phone when they entered and hung up when he saw them.

"Brother Shen, are you okay!?"

Li Xiangdong asked, looking at Shen Chunyang, who had a bandage on his forehead with blood seeping through. It seemed he had taken a serious hit.

"I'm fine, just got ambushed and hit on the head. What about you? I heard from An that you chased after the suspect. Did you catch him?"

Li Xiangdong repeated what he had told An Jianing, and Shen Chunyang, who wasn't too concerned, continued.

"Captain Wei has already sent people from Huanghai. They should arrive in the morning. We're a bit isolated here, and he's not too comfortable with that. He wanted to come himself, but unfortunately, there's a big case in Huanghai, so he can't come to pick us up. He told us to be careful, and when our people arrive, we'll head back to Huanghai."

"What about that black prison? Are we really going to ignore it? We're the police!"

An Jianing was still worried about the black prison. As a professionally trained and justice-driven person, she couldn't stand such a place.

"Don't worry, the higher-ups have their plans..."

Shen Chunyang didn't elaborate.

"By the way, Brother Shen, what case happened in Huanghai?"

Li Xiangdong also wanted to dismantle the black prison, but he knew it was a deep and complex issue involving many people and matters. Shen Chunyang was wary of it, so it wasn't something that could be resolved in a day or two.

However, An Jianing's strong sense of justice and lack of tact made him fear that she might continue to press Shen Chunyang, causing an awkward situation, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Hehe, our previous suspicions seem to be coming true step by step. This time, it's the Bihai Manor that's in trouble. It's a robbery and murder case, committed by a few outsiders. They killed a client, raped several female staff members, and severely injured the manager, who is now in the ICU. The most crucial point is that the parent company of Bihai Manor is the Huanghai Group, and the big boss behind it is Chen Jie, Chen the Tiger. Hehe, just as Huang Hengfa's lackey died, Chen Jie's Bihai Manor was hit by a robbery and murder. Don't you think the timing of these two cases is a bit too coincidental?"

Shen Chunyang said with a cold laugh, then lit a cigarette, coughing continuously from the smoke.

"Could it really be Huang Hengfa's revenge? Who was killed?"

An Jianing asked hesitantly, while Li Xiangdong fell into deep thought. Shen Chunyang picked up his phone and looked at the information sent by the captain.

"The victim's surname is Xie, named Xie Yan. He seems to be an important director of the Huanghai Group. This time, Huang Hengfa really had the guts to take out one of their directors."

"It looks like we need to get back quickly, or we might miss a good show!"

Li Xiangdong said with a smile, and Shen Chunyang nodded vigorously.

"Right, we really need to get back quickly, or we'll miss a good show. This dog-eat-dog situation, we need to go back and see what happens. For years, the captain and I have been trying to find a weakness in Huang Hengfa or Chen Jie, but we never had a good opportunity. That's why they've been able to evade the law for so long. Now, they're fighting each other, and we might find a big loophole when we get back."

Shen Chunyang, ignoring his injuries, took another hard drag on his cigarette, looking very excited.

"Okay, no rush, but Brother Shen, you're injured. You should rest and not smoke so much; it's bad for your health..."

"Hehe, you're right. My head does hurt a bit. It's late, so you should both get some rest. I don't think they'll dare to come again tonight."
