My Ares Son-in-Law

"I'll contact you later if anything comes up!"

Zhou Hongyan uttered these words briefly and forcefully. Before her voice had even completely dissipated in the noisy air, she had already dashed towards a black Volkswagen sedan parked on the side of the street like a white arrow released from a bow.

The car was plain and unassuming, inconspicuous among the many vehicles, but at this moment it became a powerful tool for her to hunt down crime.

She rushed to the car in a few steps, yanked open the door, and moved swiftly and decisively without any hesitation.

He plopped down in the driver's seat, quickly gripped the steering wheel, and started the car with his fingers flying across the buttons.

The engine let out a suppressed growl, like a beast awakened and ready to pounce.

Immediately afterwards, she floored the accelerator, and the car, like a wild horse, instantly merged into the chaotic traffic in front of her.

In the chaotic traffic, she drove her black Volkswagen, relentlessly chasing a gray minivan that was trying to speed away.

The van weaved through traffic like a cunning eel, trying to shake off her pursuit.

But Zhou Hongyan wouldn't let it go so easily. With a determined look in her eyes, she focused intently on controlling the steering wheel, skillfully weaving between vehicles, always maintaining a safe distance from the van.

At that moment, her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

Adrenaline surged through her body like a burst dam, making her senses exceptionally sharp.

Her intuition screamed, like an alarm bell ringing in her mind: it was no ordinary thing for these people to leave in such a panic!
There must be some unspeakable secret hidden behind this.

The embers from the explosion still drifted slowly in the air, carrying a pungent odor, as if the air itself was filled with the scent of evil.

Zhou Hongyan's mind was filled with questions: Where were they going?

Is it to destroy even more fatal evidence?
If that evidence is destroyed, all previous efforts may be in vain; or... go and report back to the legendary Black Phoenix Society's lair?

If that's the case, then this surveillance might be able to unveil the mystery of the Black Phoenix Society and completely eradicate this cancer that has plagued the ancient city for many years.

As long as we can keep track of this car, as long as we can get a picture of the key person's face, even if it's just a blurry outline; or record a crucial rendezvous point, even if it's just an inconspicuous corner...

Zhou Hongyan seemed to have already seen the dawn of victory.

Her knuckles, gripping the steering wheel, were slightly white, and her knuckles were bluish-white from the force she exerted, but her eyes grew increasingly determined.

A scene seemed to appear before my eyes: the reinforcement police cars arrived like black lightning, their sirens piercing the sky.

The cold shackles snapped shut on those criminal wrists, and the Black Phoenix Society members who usually swaggered around now hung their heads as the police escorted them into the police car.

She stood aside, watching the tumor being completely removed, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

This exciting thought burned within her like a flame, temporarily making her forget the dull pain lingering on her back from the impact with the ground.

The dull pain, which had been like a tiny needle pricking her from time to time, seemed insignificant in the face of her strong conviction to hunt down evil.

She gritted her teeth and continued to chase after the gray minivan ahead, determined to reveal the truth to the world.

Xiao Chen stood quietly on the side of the street where the noise had not completely subsided. The scene around him was chaotic, with the noise of the crowd and the honking of vehicles intertwined, like an invisible net enveloping him.

His gaze followed the black Volkswagen as it plunged headlong into the river of cars with a resolute air. The taillights flickered a few times in the billowing dust, like two stars about to go out yet stubbornly shining, before disappearing completely, leaving only a blurry shadow lingering in Xiao Chen's mind.

He lowered his head slightly, a barely perceptible bitter smile appearing on his lips, and gently shook his head.

Commander Zhou Hongyan's dedication and courage are truly remarkable.

She's like a brave and fearless cheetah; once she locks onto her target, she'll charge forward without hesitation.

However, the matter of tracking down the Black Phoenix Society...

Xiao Chen knew in his heart that the depth of this pool was far beyond Zhou Hongyan's imagination.

The Black Phoenix Society has been entrenched in the ancient city for many years, its influence deeply entrenched and its relationships complex and intertwined, like a huge and hidden spider web. If one is not careful, one will be entangled and unable to escape.

What she is rushing towards without hesitation is not a simple snake's den, but a bottomless, treacherous dragon's pool.

Once you're caught up in it, getting out unscathed is probably as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen slowly raised his hand and waved it gently in the air a few times, stopping a taxi that happened to be passing by.

The car's body is somewhat old, as if it has weathered countless years, with fine scratches on the paint, like the wrinkles on an old man's face that have seen many hardships.

The car slowly came to a stop. The driver was a slightly overweight middle-aged man. He rolled down the window and leaned out half of his face, which was covered in oil and sweat. The flesh on his face trembled slightly with the movement, and his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and laziness.

"Master, No. 98, Kushu Road, West of the City."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he reached out and opened the car door, then gracefully sat down in the back seat.

Upon entering the vehicle, a faint smell of cheap tobacco mixed with old leather hits you. The smell is somewhat pungent, yet it carries a strange sense of familiarity, as if telling the story of how this vehicle has carried countless passengers of all kinds and experienced countless different stories.

"What?"

The driver clearly hadn't heard Xiao Chen clearly. He wondered if he had misheard, and suddenly turned his head, looking Xiao Chen up and down with his questioning eyes.

Although Xiao Chen's clothes were somewhat worn, the fabric and workmanship were clearly of high value, exuding a subtle luxury in the dimly lit car.

The driver's eyes showed confusion and a hint of wariness. He clicked his tongue and said:
"Young man, where are you going?"
A path lined with dead trees?

Then he continued:
"That place is so desolate that even birds won't poop there!"

It's just a few dilapidated factories that have been abandoned for eight hundred years. The walls are almost collapsing, and the weeds are taller than a person!

Every time I pass by there, it feels eerie and quite frightening.

Did you remember the address wrong?
Or... is there some other way?

The driver's words were loaded with meaning, and a sly glint appeared in his eyes. He clearly regarded Xiao Chen as a "special person" who might be involved in some illegal transactions.

In his opinion, going to such a deserted place late at night could not be anything good.

Xiao Chen sat in the back seat, still silent, his expression as calm as a bottomless well, without the slightest ripple. (End of Chapter)
