Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

"Wait!" the gray-robed old man said in a deep voice, "Although Zhou Ran is extremely evil, he is my captive after all. I can't just let you take him away like this."

The middle-aged man in black robe frowned: "What do you mean, sir? Do you want to protect this criminal?"

"Shelter? Of course not." The gray-robed old man shook his head. "I just think that since Zhou Ran is our common target, his fate should be decided by us together. You can't just take him away unilaterally like this."

The middle-aged man in black robe looked at the determined look in the grey robe old man's eyes and knew that he was not joking. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, since you insist so much, let's discuss how to deal with Zhou Ran."

The grey-robed old man nodded: "That's right. Then let's find a place to discuss it properly."

So, under the guidance of the grey-robed old man, they came to a remote cave. The light in the cave was dim, but it was unusually quiet and no one disturbed them.

"Okay, now we can discuss how to deal with Zhou Ran." The gray-robed old man said to everyone.

Qin Tian thought about it, and then said: "I think that since Zhou Ran has committed so many crimes, he should be handed over to the government for handling. This will not only demonstrate justice, but also allow the law to receive due respect."

"We can send Zhou Ran to the nearest government office and let him receive the punishment he deserves." The middle-aged man in black robe nodded in agreement. "Friend Fang is right. Zhou Ran has committed many evil deeds. He must be punished by law."

However, the gray-robed old man shook his head and raised an objection: "It's a good idea to hand Zhou Ran over to the government, but have you ever thought about how the government will deal with him? Will the forces behind him intervene? What if the criminal we caught with great difficulty is easily let go?"

The grey-robed old man's words made everyone fall into deep thought. They understood that things in the martial arts world were often not as simple and beautiful as they imagined.

"Then senior, how do you think we should deal with Zhou Ran?" The mysterious figure turned to the gray-robed old man and asked.

The grey-robed old man pondered for a while and spoke slowly: "I think we can lock Zhou Ran up first, and then slowly interrogate him to see if there are any other accomplices or forces behind him who are supporting him in his evil deeds. Once we have obtained all the information, it won't be too late to hand him over to the authorities."

After hearing the gray-robed old man's suggestion, everyone thought it was a good idea and agreed with it. So, they found a suitable place in the cave and locked Zhou Ran up.

In the next few days, everyone took turns to guard Zhou Ran to prevent him from escaping or committing suicide, and they also kept interrogating him, hoping to get more useful information from him. However, Zhou Ran was extremely stubborn and cunning, and no matter how they threatened and lured him, he refused to reveal any useful information.

As time went by, everyone's patience and confidence gradually wore away, and they began to doubt whether they could really get the secrets out of Zhou Ran. Just when they were about to give up, an accident suddenly happened!

Just when everyone was at their wits' end and ready to give up trying to get more information from Zhou Ran, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the cave. Then, a man in an official uniform hurried in.

"Hurry up and file a report! This is an extremely dangerous element!" the man shouted as he entered the room, his face full of anxiety and tension.

Everyone's attention was attracted by this sudden situation. They turned to look at the person who came, their hearts full of confusion and curiosity.

"Who are you? How did you find this place?" the gray-robed old man asked in a deep voice, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

The man took a breath and said hurriedly, "I am a constable from a nearby government office. I have been tracking Zhou Ran for a long time. A few days ago, I learned that he was caught by you, so I rushed over. This Zhou Ran is extremely dangerous. There is a huge criminal organization behind him. If you are not careful, you may be killed!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Zhou Ran to have such a big background and power, and they couldn't help but start to worry about their own safety.

The middle-aged man in black robe saw the man's anxious and nervous expression and knew that he was telling the truth. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "We already know what you said. Zhou Ran is indeed an extremely dangerous person, but since he has been captured by us, we will not let him escape. We will keep him under strict supervision and hand him over to the authorities as soon as possible."

The visitor heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what the middle-aged man in black robe said: "Great! I feel relieved with you here. But I still want to remind you that Zhou Ran is very cunning and cruel. He may try to escape or commit suicide, so you must be careful to watch him."

The gray-robed old man nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will keep an eye on him. Go back and file a report now, tell your superiors about the situation here, and ask them to send someone to take over the case."

The visitor thanked him quickly and left the cave in a hurry. His figure gradually disappeared into the night, leaving only the sound of footsteps echoing in the valley. The cave returned to peace again, but everyone's mood was difficult to calm down. They knew that they would face more severe and dangerous challenges next.

The grey-robed old man frowned, looking at the place where Zhou Ran was imprisoned, his heart filled with worry. "Zhou Ran is extremely cunning, we must strengthen our guard and never let him have a chance to escape." He turned around and said to everyone.

The middle-aged man in black robe nodded and said in a deep voice: "Senior is right. We must keep a close watch on him. At the same time, we must get more information about the criminal organization from him as soon as possible."

In the next few days, everyone took turns to watch over Zhou Ran, not daring to relax at all. Not only did they strengthen surveillance, they also set up multiple mechanisms and traps to ensure that Zhou Ran could not escape. At the same time, they also continued to interrogate Zhou Ran, trying to get more useful information from him.

However, Zhou Ran was extremely stubborn and cunning. No matter how they threatened and lured him, he refused to reveal any useful information. Sometimes, he would even deliberately fabricate some false information to confuse them and put them in trouble.

"This Zhou Ran is too cunning!" Fang Hao said angrily, "We have tried every possible way, but he just refuses to tell the truth."

The mysterious figure also sighed: "Yes, Zhou Ran is indeed difficult to deal with. But we can't give up, we must come up with a better way to deal with him."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that Zhou Ran was an extremely dangerous person, and if they couldn't get more information from him, it would probably bring a greater disaster to the martial arts world.

So, in the following time, everyone began to discuss various countermeasures and plans. They tried to find a breakthrough through Zhou Ran's words, deeds and psychological changes, but they were unsuccessful. Zhou Ran still remained silent and resisted, leaving them helpless.

As time went by, everyone gradually felt tired and helpless. They began to doubt whether they could really dig out the secret behind Zhou Ran. However, just when they were about to give up again, an accident suddenly happened again! During a shift change, Zhou Ran suddenly launched a fierce attack. He took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and broke free from the chains and ropes that bound him, and then pounced on the two people guarding him. Although the two reacted quickly, they were still injured by Zhou Ran. Zhou Ran took the opportunity to break free from their control and ran away quickly!
"Oh no! Zhou Ran escaped!" the two guards shouted anxiously.

When everyone heard the shout, they rushed over immediately, but it was too late. Zhou Ran had already merged into the vast night, leaving behind only a trail of messy footprints and the smell of blood in the air.

"Damn it! He actually slipped away!" the grey-robed old man roared in anger, "Chase him! We must not let him get away!"

The middle-aged man in black robe frowned. He stared at the direction Zhou Ran fled and said in a deep voice: "This Zhou Ran is extremely cunning. The direction he fled to is likely his lair or hiding place. We must catch up with him as soon as possible and never give him the opportunity to do evil again!"

Led by the middle-aged man in black robe, the group immediately followed Zhou Ran's trail. In the darkness, they shuttled through the woods, leaving only waves of hurried footsteps and shouts echoing in the air...

Everyone chased after him, but Zhou Ran seemed to have disappeared. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find his trace. Just when everyone was feeling desperate, a figure suddenly jumped out of the woods. It was Zhou Ran!

"There he is!" Fang Hao was sharp-eyed and was the first to spot Zhou Ran. He shouted and then chased after him.

Zhou Ran heard the noise and looked back. He saw Fang Hao approaching quickly. He was startled and quickly ran away. However, he never expected that Fang Hao's explosive power would be so amazing. Fang Hao's figure quickly shuttled through the woods and soon caught up with Zhou Ran.

"You can't escape!" Fang Hao shouted, leaped suddenly and pounced towards Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran was horrified when he saw this. He knew it was difficult for him to escape, so he drew out his dagger and stabbed Fang Hao. "Want to catch me? That's not that easy!"

Fang Hao was not afraid at all. He dodged Zhou Ran's dagger easily and punched Zhou Ran in the chest. "Bang!" With a dull sound, Zhou Ran felt as if his chest was hit by a heavy hammer, and the pain was unbearable.

"Ah!" Zhou Ran screamed and fell to the ground. Fang Hao took the opportunity to step forward and stepped on Zhou Ran's chest to prevent him from escaping again.

"Got him!" Fang Hao shouted loudly. Everyone heard the shout and rushed over immediately. Seeing that Fang Hao had successfully subdued Zhou Ran, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The grey-robed old man came over, looked at Zhou Ran lying on the ground, and sneered, "Do you think you can escape from our grasp? You are so naive."

Zhou Ran stared at the gray-robed old man, his heart filled with fear and despair. He knew he was doomed this time and could not escape.

The middle-aged man in black robe looked at Zhou Ran, then turned to the crowd and said, "Okay, now that we have captured Zhou Ran, we need to interrogate him thoroughly."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then took Zhou Ran back to the cave and locked him up again. This time, they strengthened the guard and surveillance to ensure that Zhou Ran could not escape again.

In the following days, everyone took turns to interrogate Zhou Ran, trying to get more information about the criminal organization from him. However, Zhou Ran still resisted stubbornly, no matter how they threatened or lured him, Zhou Ran kept his mouth shut.

"This Zhou Ran is so stubborn!" The mysterious figure looked at Zhou Ran and sighed, "We have tried every possible way, but he just won't speak."

The grey-robed old man snorted coldly, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't say anything. We have already caught him, so we don't have to worry about the forces behind him not coming to rescue him. When the time comes, we can follow the clues and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

The middle-aged man in black robe nodded: "Senior is right, now we just need to wait patiently."

Time passed slowly, and Zhou Ran had been imprisoned in the cave for several days. During this period, no matter how people threatened and lured him, he kept his lips tightly shut and refused to reveal any information about the criminal organization. Everyone's patience was gradually exhausted, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

The grey-robed old man looked at Zhou Ran's tightly closed eyes and stubborn face, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down. He turned to the black-robed middle-aged man and said, "This Zhou Ran is really a tough guy. It's not a good idea for us to keep wasting time like this."

The middle-aged man in black robe nodded and said in a deep voice: "Senior, what you said is very true. We must find a way to break this deadlock."

At this time, Fang Hao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Perhaps, we can try to provoke him."

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Fang Hao, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. The gray-robed old man frowned and asked, "Provocation? What does that mean?"

Fang Hao smiled and explained, "We can deliberately belittle Zhou Ran and his criminal organization, saying that they are just a mob and nothing special. In this way, Zhou Ran is likely to refute us in order to maintain the dignity of himself and the organization, thus revealing his flaws."

After listening to Fang Hao's explanation, everyone's eyes flashed with understanding. The gray-robed old man nodded and said, "This method is worth a try. However, Zhou Ran is a man of deep scheming. We must act carefully and not let him see the flaws."

The middle-aged man in black robe added: "That's right. When we use the method of provoking others, we must pay attention to our tone and expression, and we must not let Zhou Ran realize our true intentions."

Everyone agreed and started to discuss the specific implementation plan. After some discussion, they decided that the gray-robed old man and the black-robed middle-aged man would come forward to challenge Zhou Ran.

The two men came in front of Zhou Ran, and the gray-robed old man deliberately said in a contemptuous tone: "Zhou Ran, Zhou Ran, how powerful do you think the criminal organization behind you is? Don't dream, they are simply vulnerable. In our eyes, you are just a bunch of clowns."

Zhou Ran heard this and his eyes suddenly opened, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He stared at the gray-robed old man and said coldly: "What do you know? Our organization is extremely powerful, not what you can imagine."

The middle-aged man in black robe took the opportunity to speak: "Oh? Extremely powerful? Then tell me, what is so great about your organization?" (End of this chapter)
