This Taoist priest is so unprofessional!

Qin Yueyao's voice wasn't loud, but her tone was practically an order.

The tall male team member behind her had already unconsciously reached for his waist.

The uniforms there were slightly bulging, revealing a hard silhouette.

The air seemed to be sucked away in an instant, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Wang Xiaoer remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was calculating rapidly.

Town Night Guard.

China has an official agency specifically for handling such incidents.

It's best to avoid provoking such a behemoth if possible; confronting it head-on is definitely the worst possible strategy.

Just then, the door to the inner room was pushed open.

Zhang Chen and A Yue noticed the commotion outside and came out as well.

When Zhang Chen saw the two figures in special uniforms at the door, especially the silver badges on their shoulders, his expression changed slightly.

He immediately put on a warm smile, strode forward, and stood between Wang Xiaoer and Qin Yueyao, taking the initiative to smooth things over.

"Oh dear, comrades, is there some misunderstanding?"

"My junior brother has just recovered from a serious illness and has been staying with me these past few days to recuperate, rarely leaving the house. How could he be involved in something?"

As he spoke, he enthusiastically reached out to shake hands, adopting an extremely humble posture.

However, Qin Yueyao merely glanced at him with her sharp eyes, showing no intention of shaking his hand.

Zhang Chen's outstretched hand awkwardly froze in mid-air.

Qin Yueyao's gaze passed over him and landed on A-Yue, who looked wary behind him.

Her eyes were like the most sophisticated scanner, seeing through both of their true nature.

"Zhang Chen of Longhu Mountain".

"And... the Gu Master of Miao Village."

She clearly identified the two men, her tone calm, yet it completely froze the smile on Zhang Chen's face.

"The three of you were all spotted near Moon Bay ten days ago."

"Don't think we can't find out."

As soon as she finished speaking, the male team member next to her stepped forward and expressionlessly raised a military-grade tablet computer.

On the screen, several surveillance screenshots taken from different angles are being played.

The image is somewhat blurry and has green noise from the night vision lens.

However, it was still clear that three figures were rapidly leaving from the direction of Moon Bay on the national highway late at night.

It was Wang Xiaoer, Zhang Chen, and A Yue.

Ironclad evidence.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Zhang Chen's forehead, and he was utterly speechless.

He hadn't expected the other party's investigation to be so thorough, even managing to retrieve surveillance footage from such a remote location.

A-Yue silently took half a step back, hiding one hand in her sleeve.

Just as tensions were about to rise, Wang Xiaoer suddenly chuckled.

He reached out and patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder, signaling him to move aside.

Then, he walked confidently up to Qin Yueyao, shrugged, and looked as relaxed as if he were going to buy groceries.

"OK."

"I'll go with you."

His reaction surprised both Qin Yueyao and the male team member.

They had anticipated various scenes of resistance, sophistry, and even violent conflict, but they never expected the other side to cooperate so readily.

"However, let me make this clear from the start."

Wang Xiaoer's smile carried a hint of something unfathomable.

"I'm usually not very lucky."

"If you spend too much time with me, something bad is likely to happen."

He spoke with utmost seriousness, as if stating an objective fact.

The air was silent for two seconds.

Qin Yueyao snorted coldly.

Her eyes revealed an undisguised contempt, clearly taking Wang Xiaoer's words as a childish attempt to mystify.

Having handled countless difficult cases, what kind of extraordinary people hasn't she seen?

Those who pretend to be mysterious or charlatan, those who bluff and make a last-ditch effort.

In her view, this level of psychological warfare was utterly ridiculous.

Without further ado, she turned to the side and gestured for them to proceed.

His movements were efficient and unquestionable.

"Then please, Mr. Wang."

"Don't worry, our vehicles from the Town Night Police Station have a very high safety rating."

"That's good."

Wang Xiaoer shrugged, giving him an innocent look that said, "I've already warned you."

He strode out, and as he passed Zhang Chen, he paused slightly and whispered something quickly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"If they are polite, I will cooperate."

"If they don't hold back, I'll let them know what 'divine retribution' really means."

Zhang Chen raised an eyebrow, already understanding the situation.

He saw Wang Xiaoer's profile, calm and confident.

That familiar calmness, as if nothing could happen even if the sky were to fall, inexplicably calmed Zhang Chen's anxious heart.

He watched Wang Xiaoer walk out of the office with the man and woman, but in the end he didn't say anything more. The worry in his eyes was replaced by a complicated and unfathomable expression.

Outside the firm.

A completely black SUV was parked quietly on the side of the road.

The car has a striking appearance with sharp lines and distinct angles. The body is covered with a special matte coating that does not reflect sunlight but instead seems to absorb it, giving off a deep sense of oppression.

It's like a steel beast lurking in the city, completely out of place amidst the bustling traffic.

The male team member quickly stepped forward and opened the back door for Wang Xiaoer.

Wang Xiaoer didn't stand on ceremony and bent down to sit inside.

Qin Yueyao followed closely behind and sat down on his left.

The male team member then got into the passenger seat.

"Bang."

Qin Yueyao casually closed the car door beside her.

The sound of the car door closing was heavy and solid, with excellent sound insulation, instantly shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

Inside the car, only the soft breathing of a few people could be heard.

Just as the car started moving.

"Gah!"

A piercing, eerie metallic creak suddenly rang out from the car door lock.

The sound was like someone using a large pair of iron pliers to bend a steel bar.

The three members of the Night Watch inside the car all stopped moving at the same time.

The male team member sitting in the passenger seat frowned and subconsciously glanced at the door indicator lights on the dashboard.

A red warning light, representing the rear left door, was flashing wildly.

Qin Yueyao's face also darkened.

She reached out, grabbed the doorknob, and pulled hard.

Not moving.

She then tried pressing the electronic unlock button.

No response.

The driver in the driver's seat also noticed something was wrong, and he immediately pressed the master door lock switch on the center console.

"Tap, tap, tap."

Except for the rear left door, the other three doors all made a crisp unlocking sound.

Only that door remained deathly silent.

"What happened?"

Qin Yueyao's voice carried a chill.

The male officer in the passenger seat immediately unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, went around to the outside, grabbed the outer door handle, and pulled hard.

The car door remained as if it had been welded to the car body, completely unmoved.

His expression turned somewhat grim, and he tried several more times, even using a clever technique to shake the car door.

The result was the same.

The car door lock cylinder jammed itself.

It's completely inaccessible, both inside and out.

The atmosphere inside the car instantly became somewhat awkward.

It was a subtle kind of awkwardness.

Wang Xiaoer leaned back in the soft chair, his hands behind his head, watching them work with a leisurely air.

He turned his head, glanced at Qin Yueyao beside him whose face was icy cold, and then gave her an extremely sincere smile.

"See, what did I just say?"

"I'm just not very lucky."
