I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

The urgent sound of sirens grew louder as they approached.

The first to arrive were two black SUVs with their windows completely blacked out, obscuring the interiors.

Before the vehicle had come to a complete stop, the doors opened quickly, and six or seven men in plain clothes, who moved swiftly, got out. The one in the lead was a middle-aged man with a resolute face.

Their gazes swept across the scene immediately—the wrecked and deformed dump truck, the gravel and debris scattered all over the ground, the unconscious driver, the limp other driver, and the white ride-hailing car whose rear door had vanished, before finally landing on Luo Fei, who had just gotten out of the car.

The middle-aged man strode towards Luo Fei and showed him his identification.

"Comrade Luo Fei? This is Wu Feng, the director of the Action Division of the Chongnan City National Security Bureau. I have received orders from my superiors to come and handle this matter." Wu Feng's voice was calm and powerful.

The higher-ups emphasized that this "Comrade Luo Fei" was extremely important and had been murdered, demanding that his safety be ensured at all costs and that a thorough investigation be conducted.

Seeing this bizarre situation at the scene, it was clear that it went beyond the scope of an ordinary criminal case.

"Director Wu, hello." Luo Fei nodded. "Of these two drivers, one caused an accident in front to force us to stop, and the other tried to accelerate and crash into us from behind. The driver in the back is seriously injured and unconscious, while the one in front is still conscious."

He pointed to Ah Qiang, who was slumped on the ground, still trembling all over.

Wu Feng waved his hand, and two of his men immediately stepped forward, skillfully subdued A-Qiang, and handcuffed him.

"The ambulance and fire department will be here soon," Wu Feng said, his gaze sweeping over the mangled dump truck again, but he ultimately refrained from asking any further questions.

At this moment, police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances arrived one after another with sirens blaring.

Police quickly set up a cordon, while paramedics rushed to the cab of the mangled dump truck to provide emergency care to the driver, while firefighters joined in to rescue the unconscious Awang.

The scene immediately became bustling with activity.

Luo Fei walked to the white ride-hailing car.

The driver was still slumped in the driver's seat, his face pale, clearly not yet recovered from the hellish dozen or so seconds that had just passed.

Luo Fei knocked on the car window.

The driver was startled and turned his head around blankly.

"Master, I'm sorry you were frightened, but you're alright now."

Luo Fei tried his best to make his tone sound gentle.

"I will compensate you for the damage to your car. Also, what you witnessed today may involve some special circumstances, so I need you to sign a confidentiality agreement and promise not to mention it to anyone. Is that alright?"

Looking at Luo Fei's calm face, and then at the badly damaged dump truck in the distance, the driver nodded repeatedly, subconsciously: "Okay, okay, I'll sign anything, as long as I get out of here safely."

Luo Fei took out his phone: "I'll transfer some money to you first as compensation for the car repairs and lost wages."

"No need, I have insurance..." the driver's voice was still trembling.

"Of course." Without further ado, Luo Fei asked for his bank account details and immediately transferred the money via his mobile phone.

Soon, the driver's phone beeped: 50,000.00 yuan received.

Upon hearing this number, the driver was stunned once again.

Fifty thousand? Repairing a car door and the resulting lost work time, where would you get that much money?

"That's too much..."

"Take it, you've been frightened today too."

Luo Fei said, then turned to Wu Feng, "Director Wu, please follow up on the follow-up matters concerning this driver, including signing a confidentiality agreement."

"Also, could you arrange a car to take my aunt and me to the Qingshun District People's Court? We have a court hearing soon, and it's almost time."

Wu Feng immediately nodded: "No problem!"

He beckoned to one of his men, "Xiao Zhang, you drive our car and take Comrade Luo Fei and this lady to court. Be careful."

"yes!"

Luo Fei helped Luo Yumei, whose legs were still a little weak, into the back seat of a car.

Xiao Zhang got into the driver's seat, and the car smoothly drove away from the chaotic accident scene.

The car drove onto the main road and headed towards the courthouse.

The car was very quiet.

Luo Yumei clung tightly to Luo Fei, her body still trembling slightly, but she was much better than before.

She slowly began to speak: "It must be Hou Guifen. I've met her brother; he's a big thug. It must have been Hou Guifen who asked him to find someone to drive us and run us over so we wouldn't be able to get to court on time for the trial."

She looked up and saw her nephew's calm profile. Countless questions filled her mind, but she didn't know where to begin.

That unbelievable scene just now, that superhuman strength—is this really her nephew whom she watched grow up?

Luo Fei seemed to know what his aunt was thinking. He gently patted the back of her hand and whispered, "Aunt, there are some things I'll explain to you later. Just know that Linlin will get better, and none of those bad people will escape. Now, we're going to take back what belongs to you and Linlin."

Luo Yumei nodded vigorously, suppressing the doubts and shock she felt.

All she needs to do now is trust her nephew.

Just as Luo Fei and Luo Yumei left, Director Wu began interrogating A-Qiang on the spot. Terrified, A-Qiang quickly confessed everything.

In the office of a bar not far away.

Hou Yong was smoking irritably and pacing back and forth.

He is also waiting for news.

Logically speaking, by this time, they should have already succeeded.

Why haven't Ah-Qiang and Ah-Wang sent any news?

He was just about to call again to ask.

The office door was suddenly kicked open!

Several men in plainclothes rushed in swiftly, and several dark gun barrels were instantly pointed at him.

"Hou Yong! You are suspected of planning and instigating others to commit intentional homicide and endangering public safety! You are now being detained in accordance with the law! Hands up, do not move!"

Hou Yong's pupils contracted sharply, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

He saw the identification those people presented.

Beijing Guoan!

His face turned ashen instantly, and only one thought occupied his mind:

It's over! It's all over!

My dear older sister...you've really ruined me!

About twenty minutes later, Xiao Zhang drove his car to a stop in front of the imposing and solemn building of the Qingshun District People's Court.

"Mr. Luo, we've arrived," Xiao Zhang said, turning around after parking the car.

"Thank you." Luo Fei and Luo Yumei got out of the car.

There were already quite a few people going in and out of the courthouse.

Attorney Chen was standing at the bottom of the steps, looking around anxiously and glancing down at his watch every now and then. When he saw Luo Fei and Luo Yumei appear, he quickly walked over to them.

"Ms. Luo, Mr. Luo, you've finally arrived! I was worried something might have happened on the way..." Attorney Chen started to say, but then noticed that Luo Yumei's face was a little pale, and although Luo Fei looked normal, his clothes seemed to be dusty. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just a little accident on the way, which caused a slight delay," Luo Fei said casually.

Attorney Chen was somewhat puzzled, but didn't ask further. He glanced at his watch and said, "The timing is perfect, let's go in. The other party... Zhao Zhiwei's mother and their lawyer have already arrived."

The three of them were about to walk up the steps.

Suddenly, a sharp, sarcastic, and questioning female voice came from the side:

"Luo Yumei? You... what brings you here?"

Luo Fei turned his head to look.

Beside a pillar at the entrance of the courthouse stood a middle-aged woman in a dark red suit, her face haggard and sallow.

It was Hou Guifen, Zhao Zhiwei's mother.

Standing next to her was a man carrying a briefcase, with a serious expression and somewhat handsome features. He was her lawyer, named Zhang Wei.

At this moment, Hou Guifen was staring intently at Luo Yumei and Luo Fei, her eyes wide open and her face filled with disbelief.

She clearly received a message from her younger brother, Hou Yong, that "everything is arranged perfectly"! Those were two dump trucks; how could Luo Fei and Luo Yumei possibly be here unharmed?!

Could it be... that my brother messed up? That's impossible!

Luo Fei stared coldly at Hou Guifen's face, which was contorted with shock and resentment.

He ignored Hou Guifen and said directly to Attorney Chen, "Attorney Chen, let's go in."

"Okay." Attorney Chen nodded and stepped aside to lead the way.

"Stop right there!" Hou Guifen suddenly screamed, rushing forward a few steps, pointing at Luo Yumei, her voice shrill and piercing, "Luo Yumei! Was it you?! Was it you who killed my son and my husband?! You jinx! You'll die a horrible death!"

Her shouting attracted the attention of many people around her.

Luo Yumei's body stiffened, and her face turned pale.

Luo Fei stopped and slowly turned around, staring coldly at Hou Guifen.

"Hou Guifen." His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chill. "Your son cheated on you and transferred assets, breaking the law and deserved it. Your husband abused his power and shielded a criminal; he too will not escape the law. As for you..."

He paused, his voice growing colder: "You ordered someone to stage a car accident to murder me and my aunt. Do you think you can get away with it?"

Hou Guifen was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale. She staggered back a step, her finger pointing at Luo Fei trembling violently: "You...you're lying! You're making false accusations! I didn't!"

"Whether or not, your brother and those two drivers will tell the police." Luo Fei sneered. "By the way, your brother should already be on his way to the police station."

The voice just fell.

Hou Guifen's phone suddenly rang, as if to confirm Luo Fei's words.

The shrill ringing sent a shiver down her spine.

She picked up her phone with trembling hands and saw that the caller ID showed it was one of her younger brother Hou Yong's men.

She pressed the answer button with trembling hands.

The moment the call connected, a panicked voice came from the other end: "Sister Guifen! Something terrible has happened! Brother Yong... Brother Yong has been arrested! A lot of police and National Security officers have come! They've sealed off the place! They say Brother Yong is suspected of hiring someone to commit murder! Also, Aqiang and Awang have been arrested too. Awang is seriously injured and in the hospital! Sister, what exactly happened?!"

The phone slipped from Hou Guifen's hand and fell to the ground with a "thud," shattering the screen.

She stood frozen in place, all color drained from her face, leaving only a deathly ashen complexion, her heart filled with despair and fear.

My brother got arrested?

Hiring a killer?

It's over, it's over...

She abruptly raised her head, looking at Luo Fei with eyes filled with madness: "It's you! You're the one who did this! Who are you?! You…"

Luo Fei stopped looking at her, grabbed his aunt's hand, and turned to walk towards the courthouse entrance.

Attorney Chen glanced coldly at the distraught Hou Guifen and quickly followed.

Behind them came Hou Guifen's desperate and shrill cries, which were quickly stopped by the bailiffs.
