Chapter 006: This Matter Isn't Over

As night fell, the neon lights illuminated the streets and alleys of Donghai, slowing down the pace of this bustling city known as the Pearl of the East, making it less oppressive and suffocating than during the day.

Under the cover of night, the well-known Ziyuan wealthy residential area in Donghai was peaceful.

Like all wealthy residential areas in the country, although the houses in Ziyuan had been sold out years ago, they appeared deserted, with less than half of the villas lit up.

"Old Zhang, why didn't we go to the police station with Qin Feng to give a statement?"

In a villa in Ziyuan, Zhang Xiran changed into a cute pajama and asked Zhang Baixiong, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea.

From a young age, she rarely called Zhang Baixiong father, usually just "Old Zhang."

"I was worried that the incident this afternoon might have frightened you, so I wanted you to come back and rest. As for the statement, sending someone else would be fine," Zhang Baixiong said.

"But I'm fine, and it's not the first time I've encountered such a thing. How could I be frightened?" Zhang Xiran said, trying to sound relaxed.

"Ah..."

Zhang Baixiong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

Although he was a great hero who was feared throughout the Yangtze River Delta and even the southern half of the country, there were still people who wanted his head.

Over the years, he had faced multiple assassination attempts, and his wife had died because of one of them.

Moreover, Zhang Xiran had been present during some of those attempts.

This was why he had spent a fortune hiring two top-notch bodyguards for her.

But what he hadn't expected was that even with such precautions, Zhang Xiran had almost met with disaster.

"Old Zhang, Qin Feng didn't leave any contact information, and he didn't take your business card. If we don't go to the police station later, won't we miss him?" Zhang Xiran asked.

"Do you really want to see him?" Zhang Baixiong countered.

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiran was taken aback at first, then her heart skipped a beat, and she explained somewhat nervously, "He saved me. Out of gratitude, we should thank him, at the very least invite him to a meal..."

"Alright, I'll arrange that later."

Zhang Baixiong nodded, but his brows furrowed slightly.

He couldn't read Qin Feng, but his intuition and reason told him that Qin Feng was a dangerous person.

He didn't want his daughter to get too close to Qin Feng and even hoped they would never meet again.

However—

Zhang Xiran's reaction just now did not escape his notice.

This made him feel uneasy.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Baixiong sent Zhang Xiran to her bedroom door, then turned and walked to the study at the end of the corridor.

In the study, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was already waiting. Seeing Zhang Baixiong enter, he quickly closed the door.

He had accompanied Zhang Baixiong to the station to pick up Zhang Xiran and had immediately used all his connections to investigate the assassin.

"Wenmo, have you found out anything?"

Zhang Baixiong sat down at the desk made of rosewood and lit a Red Double Happiness cigarette, which cost 7.5 yuan per pack.

Red Double Happiness was the brand he had smoked when he was at the bottom. Now, even though he was a renowned figure throughout the Yangtze River Delta, he still only smoked Red Double Happiness.

For thirty years!

"The killer's name is Huang Wei, nicknamed 'Huang Laoxie.' His style is very unconventional, skilled in disguise and timing. He is one of the well-known assassins in the country and has never failed since he started," said the middle-aged man, Zhu Wenmo, with a serious tone.

He was one of the founding members who had helped Zhang Baixiong establish his empire and now served as his strategist. He knew some of Zhang Baixiong's enemies, but he hadn't expected such a ruthless move.

"What about the person who saved Xiran?" Zhang Baixiong asked.

"Based on the photo, we can't find any information for now."

Zhu Wenmo shook his head, his expression even more serious—he knew what this meant!

"Really?"

Zhang Baixiong's eyes narrowed slightly, then he extinguished the cigarette and gently tapped the desk.

Seeing this, Zhu Wenmo remained silent.

Because he knew it was Zhang Baixiong's habit.

Whenever Zhang Baixiong did this, it meant he was thinking and should not be disturbed.

"Wenmo, what do you think?"

A few minutes later, Zhang Baixiong stopped tapping the desk and asked Zhu Wenmo.

"When you shook hands with him, I observed that his body was very strong, full of explosive power. His arms were longer than average, his joints were flat, and there were obvious calluses on his index finger."

Zhu Wenmo recalled the scene when he met Qin Feng and shared his observations, "Based on this information, I deduce that he is a soldier. And since he easily stopped Huang Laoxie from kidnapping Xiran, he must be very strong, likely a special forces soldier."

"It would be better if he were a special forces soldier," Zhang Baixiong sighed softly.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Zhu Wenmo's heart raced, understanding Zhang Baixiong's implication but not daring to be sure.

"A person who treats a business card I personally handed over as if it were nothing either doesn't know its significance, is too proud to care, or is deliberately pretending to be ignorant."

Zhang Baixiong couldn't help but chuckle, "As I grow older, my thoughts tend to become more complex and extreme. I hope my suspicions don't come true."

"Brother, should we send someone to follow and investigate him?" Zhu Wenmo hesitated and asked.

"Regardless of which type he is, it doesn't matter. Since he has no ill intentions toward Xiran and won't harm her, there's no need to alarm him."

Zhang Baixiong waved his hand, then his tone turned cold, "However, we can't just sit idly by after someone 'gave us a gift.'"

"An eye for an eye. Rest assured, Brother, once we find out who's behind this, I'll arrange for a big 'gift' in return!" Zhu Wenmo's eyes flashed with a cold light as he replied.

"Good."

Zhang Baixiong nodded and gave further instructions, "Also, go to the criminal investigation team yourself, cooperate with the police to give a statement, and thank Qin Feng again. Whether he accepts the reward or not, we must show proper etiquette."

"Understood!"

Zhu Wenmo respectfully accepted the order and left the study.

Zhang Baixiong lit another Red Double Happiness cigarette, took a light puff, and the scene of his meeting with Qin Feng flashed through his mind.

...

At the same time.

Donghai City, Hongjiang District Criminal Investigation Team.

Qin Feng's backpack was confiscated, and he was taken to an interrogation room.

"Miss Officer, shouldn't the statement be taken in an office, not an interrogation room?"

Qin Feng entered the interrogation room, looked at the high-wattage light bulb and the tiger chair below, turned his head, and frowned at Wang Mengnan behind him.

Clang!

The answer to Qin Feng's question was the sound of the iron door closing.

"Looks like you're a frequent visitor to the police station, very familiar with the layout, huh?"

Wang Mengnan's face was stern as she coldly said, "Since you know it's an interrogation, sit down and answer my questions honestly."

"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

Qin Feng frowned slightly, "Because of the police's negligence, Miss Zhang was almost kidnapped by the murderer. I stopped it in time, and now I'm being interrogated?"

"Sit down when I tell you to, no more nonsense!"

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Wang Mengnan was reminded of Zhang Baixiong's questioning at the station. She raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Heroic act? Ha, you can fool kindergarten kids, but not here."

"Fooling people? Officer, I think you're on your period or have hormonal imbalance." Qin Feng felt somewhat bewildered.

"Slap—"

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Wang Mengnan frowned and slapped the table in front of her, saying coldly, "Let me tell you, don't think that just because Zhang Baixiong is protecting you, you can act without fear!"

"I'll tell you, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, this matter isn't over between us!"

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, his attitude becoming even more firm.
