"Didn't we agree that I would take you out to have some fun?"
After finishing the meal, Zhang Naixi immediately started ushering people out.
This left Xu Mo momentarily at a loss for words.
Could women really change their moods this quickly?
Zhang Naixi chuckled and said, "That was the plan earlier, but I've changed my mind now."
"Jingxuan is also from Magic City, so she can take me out instead."
Xu Mo glanced at Yang Jingxuan.
The latter raised an eyebrow and replied with a hint of displeasure,
"Do you have a problem with that?"
Never try to reason with women, especially the female lead.
Xu Mo decisively shook his head, "No, not at all."
"Good," Yang Jingxuan let out a soft hum through her delicate nose, a small smirk of triumph on her face.
Since someone else was accompanying her, Xu Mo didn’t want to stick around and be a third wheel.
So, he left with the Dragon Queen.
During the dinner, the Dragon Queen hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol, saving them the trouble of calling a designated driver.
Once the two had left,
Zhang Naixi and Yang Jingxuan exchanged glances, their expressions filled with excitement.
"Mission accomplished, we did it!"
"The Kuangdao Hall, Zhuque Hall, and Zhouhu Hall are located in remote areas. It’s perfect for our military personnel to handle."
"As for the Zhongxin Hall and Qinglongkou, we’ll take care of those."
"Alright, but if you’re short on manpower, let me know."
"Got it, Naixi. Oh, I need to make a quick call to Xu Shi first."
Yang Jingxuan was brimming with excitement. Xu Shi had played a crucial role in uncovering this information.
If Lin Fan found out that the halls he had painstakingly built in secret were being dismantled,
he’d probably be furious enough to spit blood.
Not long after,
the call connected.
"How did it go?"
Yang Jingxuan couldn’t hide the excitement in her voice.
"Xu Shi, you’re amazing! Your method worked like a charm. Xu Mo spilled everything!"
"(*^▽^*) That’s great to hear."
Xu Shi was also relieved.
She had been worried about not being able to give Han Zhiqi a proper explanation.
But now, everything was settled, and there was no need to panic.
"Jingxuan, I need to ask you for a favor!"
"Go ahead."
"Last night, Lin Fan ordered his underlings from these halls to attack the Han Family. There were at least twenty casualties. That means twenty families lost their husbands, their children, their fathers—their pillars of support! I haven’t told Zhiqi about this yet, but I hope you won’t go easy on those criminals."
The Han Family was indeed a mafia family,
but they had never been involved in murder, human trafficking, or drug dealing.
The Han Family’s rules were strict.
If any member, whether from the main family or a branch, dared to engage in such activities,
the punishment ranged from cutting off fingers to breaking limbs, depending on the severity of the crime.
Hearing this, Yang Jingxuan was momentarily stunned, but then she took a deep breath.
Her tone was grave but resolute.
"Xu Shi, don’t worry. I won’t show any mercy. These people from the halls deserve to die a hundred times over!"
Compared to the Han Family,
the five halls under Lin Fan’s control were utterly despicable.
They had no principles, no boundaries—they would do anything for money!
After hanging up,
Yang Jingxuan’s eyes seemed to burn with fury.
"Guns in hand, follow me! Let’s take down Lin Fan and destroy his halls!"
Zhang Naixi was momentarily confused,
but Yang Jingxuan’s expression was deadly serious.
"Naixi, I’ll leave those three halls to your people. I’ll go report to my captain right away. We need to strike today if possible!"
"I’ll also talk to my grandfather. If we’re going to act, let’s do it together and wipe out these scumbags once and for all."
Yang Jingxuan nodded and then rushed off in a hurry.
Zhang Naixi followed closely behind.
Magic City Police Station--------
Captain Zhang, also known as Old Zhang, had just returned from lunch with his colleagues when
Yang Jingxuan pulled him aside.
As the team leader of this beautiful policewoman,
Old Zhang couldn’t understand why she couldn’t just discuss things in the office.
Why did they have to step outside?
Yang Jingxuan quickly briefed Old Zhang on the situation regarding the Qinglongkou and Zhongxin Halls.
Since there was no concrete evidence to pin Lin Fan as the mastermind,
Yang Jingxuan didn’t bring him up.
But after explaining how the two halls were operating under the guise of legitimate businesses,
Old Zhang’s face turned red with anger, and he couldn’t help but curse.
"Damn it! These bastards are good at acting. Who would’ve thought that these lawless criminals were running a law firm right in the city, and even gaining some reputation!"
The criminals they had been desperately searching for
were right under their noses.
Who could’ve guessed?
It just goes to show how well they had disguised themselves!
As the old saying goes:
The most dangerous place is the safest place!
"Jingxuan, how confident are you about this information?"
Old Zhang’s expression turned serious,
and his entire demeanor shifted to one of focus.
Yang Jingxuan didn’t elaborate on where the information came from,
and whenever questioned,
she skillfully avoided the topic.
But after working together for some time,
Old Zhang knew that this female officer was fiercely righteous.
She wouldn’t joke about something like this.
If it turned out to be a false lead,
she could face disciplinary action or even lose her job.
Even with the Yang Family’s influence,
the law showed no mercy!
Yang Jingxuan’s gaze was unwavering as she spoke with conviction, "One hundred percent confident!"
At this moment, she chose to trust Xu Mo unconditionally—
the boy she had once admired and followed.
Even if that boy had now become a dragon,
it didn’t stop Yang Jingxuan from believing in Xu Mo’s true intentions.
Seeing this,
Old Zhang nodded and told Yang Jingxuan to wait in the office.
He then rushed off to the Criminal Investigation Division.
As luck would have it,
he ran into Han Fei, the captain of the division.
After Old Zhang quickly explained the situation,
Han Fei immediately decided to request urgent action from their superiors.
Several of his comrades had lost their lives while investigating these two halls,
and now that they had a lead,
Han Fei wanted to act as quickly as possible.
However, mobilizing a large number of officers and resources
wasn’t something Han Fei could authorize on his own.
That decision had to come from the chief.
Upon receiving this news, Han Fei’s instincts urged him to bypass the chief and act immediately.
He was desperate to bring the culprits to justice!
Waiting for approval from above
could take a day or two.
But reason told Han Fei that he couldn’t do that. He had to report to his superiors first.
As Han Fei hesitated for those few minutes,
his phone buzzed in his pocket.
He pulled it out and saw that the call was from the chief.
Before he could even think of how to explain the situation,
the chief had already called.
Han Fei thought it was a fortunate coincidence. Since the chief had called, he would seize the opportunity to push for immediate action.
At best, he hoped the chief would approve the operation by tomorrow morning.
The call connected.
"Han Fei, get the Criminal Investigation team ready. Also, call Li Chen’s narcotics unit. I’ll send some additional officers your way. We’ve got work to do!"
"?????"
Han Fei’s mind went blank for a moment.
He was momentarily stunned.
On the other end of the line, the chief’s deep, authoritative voice continued,
"Are you listening, Han Fei?"
Han Fei snapped back to reality, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
