Chapter 704: Seven hundred and two, seeking advice

The three Public Security Officers and everyone present all turned their gaze toward Luo Shu, not understanding what she intended to do. Now that the criminal had been captured, the matter should have ended there.

Luo Shu looked at the middle-aged Public Security Officer, "I think it’s best to clear this matter up here." Her gaze shifted to the young man who had been caught, "Why did he put rat poison here, was it a personal grudge? Or was there someone instructing him? What if a similar situation occurs again, would those poisoned, be able to receive timely treatment like they did this time?"

"We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly once we get back and will provide a satisfying explanation to the victims, don’t worry!" the middle-aged officer said. In his heart, however, he was not very confident about the outcome. If it was really done by Ye Zi and her people, this matter might end up unresolved. After all, Ye Zi’s Big Uncle had a deep background and formidable strength. Even the chief of their Public Security Office had to give him face.

"What if I’m not reassured?" Luo Shu’s brows raised ever so slightly, looking into the middle-aged officer’s eyes with a daunting sharpness that startled him.

The heart of the middle-aged officer pounded violently, and his feet unconsciously took a small step back, but he still stiffened up and said, "I must follow the protocols in handling this, processing it here is not according to the regulations."

"Regulations are always dead, aren’t they? Without a satisfactory answer today, you can forget about leaving this place," Luo Shu stated, every word imbued with a piercing vigor that left no room for resistance.

"Those who want to leave, feel free to try." A deep, aged, yet authoritative voice rang out at the doorway.

All eyes followed the sound, and saw that an old man had somehow appeared at the door. Although he was nearly seventy, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and the powerful aura emanating from him was chilling to the bone.

Especially those keen, knife-like aged eyes that seemed to peer into one’s soul, made people dare not look him in the eye.

A fresh wave of shock ran through the middle-aged officer’s heart! This old man was no simple character either.

Ye Zi turned to look at her boyfriend. He was broad and muscular, taking on that frail old man should pose no problem.

Turning her head, she warned the young man who had been caught with a glance.

The young man, upon catching Ye Zi’s warning glance, was filled with deep regret. If he hadn’t been fond of gambling, how could he have ended up owing so much money to Big Uncle? Without that debt, he would never have agreed to be involved in such a heinous act. But could he expose her now? Of course not! Otherwise, his wife and children, his parents, would all be in mortal danger.

Ye Zi’s Big Uncle was a man who disregarded the law completely and treated human life like grass. If it hadn’t been for the fact that Ye Zi had talked to her Big Uncle about this matter last night, his own hands would have been chopped off by Big Uncle’s men by now. So he was destined to be the scapegoat this time.

The middle-aged officer hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and cupped his fist towards Old Master Ning, "I seek instruction!" Now, he faced two choices: to break out or to unravel the mastermind behind the incident on the spot. He had trained in Guard Squad Boxing for many years and thought it wouldn’t be too difficult to break out.

Old Master Ning raised his hand in a welcoming gesture and waited in place for the middle-aged officer to make his move.

The middle-aged officer took a deep breath, and with quick steps, he launched an attack on Old Master Ning. Guard Squad Boxing prioritizes speed, ferocity, and precision, particularly targeting weak points on the human body.

In the face of the middle-aged officer’s onslaught, Old Master Ning didn’t budge an inch but slowly raised a hand. As the officer closed in, that hand moved like a butterfly flitting through blossoms, with a speed that was hard for the naked eye to follow, it bypassed the officer’s attacking hands, landing squarely on his chest.

What seemed like a light palm strike sent the middle-aged officer staggering back several steps in a "thud thud thud!"

The middle-aged officer finally managed to steady himself and looked at Old Master Ning with a mix of wariness and shock in his eyes. Just one move revealed the vast gulf between their skills – a chasm he could never bridge.

"Shall we continue?" Old Master Ning looked at the middle-aged officer.

The middle-aged officer shook his head in dejected resignation. To know defeat yet still attempt vain resistance would be foolish!

Old Master Ning turned to Luo Shu, "I leave the rest to you."

"Rest assured, Grandpa Ning! I will not let any bad guy off the hook," Luo Shu’s lips curled in a confident and haughty smile.

Turning to the young man in custody, "Speak up, who instructed you." Even if he didn’t tell her, she already knew. But she needed an excuse to deal with the other party.

Upon meeting Luo Shu’s gaze, the young man felt a chill creep up his spine, seeping into his bones and causing him to shiver uncontrollably. He almost blurted out the truth. Flashes of his elderly parents and his wife, cradling their hungry child and looking expectantly into the distance, hoping for his return, came to mind.

The words that reached his mouth were forcibly swallowed, and after a long while, he began to speak slowly, "No one instructed me, it was my own decision." It didn’t matter if he went to jail, but he couldn’t risk his family’s safety.

"Do you think by doing this, they will spare you or your family? Don’t forget they are a pack of wolves that wouldn’t hesitate to devour you without leaving bones behind," Luo Shu said mockingly. Her intelligence network now spanned the entire Yan Country, and to obtain any information she desired, she only needed to send a message and would quickly receive all the data she wanted.

The three people before her, the woman was Yan Xiye, niece to the formidable Master Yan Biao of the Skywolf Sect in Northwest Province, a place of significant influence. Her boyfriend, Xia Zheng, came from a smaller family. The Xia Family usually maintained close ties with the Skywolf Sect, often engaging in numerous secret business dealings.

As for this scapegoat, he had once been a man with bright prospects, hardworking and ambitious. Regrettably, once he had money, he made a bunch of fair-weather friends and fell into the vice of gambling, losing his entire fortune and barely avoiding having his hands chopped off by Yan Biao just yesterday.

The young man looked on at Luo Shu in astonishment. How could she know what he was thinking? Could she have some sort of Mind Reading Technique?

"I can ensure your family’s safety. You know what you must do, right?" Luo Shu’s lips curled up in a seductively beautiful arch, her words bewitching like a siren’s call, full of allurement.
