Power and wealth bring fragrance

Wu Chao's expression remained cold and stern, showing no signs of emotional fluctuation.

He stared into the middle-aged fisherman's eyes and spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "We are the police department."

"Who are they? We can't afford to mess with them!"

This sentence, though not loud, was resounding and carried an unquestionable authority and confidence.

The middle-aged fisherman was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Wu Chao's resolute face and those fearless eyes, and suddenly laughed again.

This time, he laughed even louder, laughing so hard he almost fell over, and tears were streaming down his face.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"A detective agency? What a detective agency!"

He laughed for a while before gradually stopping, his eyes filled with even more sarcasm.

He then said nothing, closed his eyes, and remained silent no matter what Wu Chao asked.

Silence fell in the interrogation room once again.

Wu Chao stared at the middle-aged fisherman for a long time before finally standing up slowly, turning around and walking out of the interrogation room without saying a word.

The doorway was full of their subordinates who were waiting for them. When they heard him come out, they all looked over hopefully.

Wu Chao shook his head slightly, his face cold and stern.

"Keep an eye on things at the hospital and let me know as soon as Wei Yuan wakes up."

"Since this old guy won't say anything, we can only try to get some information from Wei Yuan."

"yes!"

The subordinates quickly responded and scattered to get busy.

Wu Chao glanced back at the closed interrogation room, his brows furrowing even more.

The middle-aged fisherman's words were like a thorn stuck in his heart.

Who exactly are those people?

He had a vague premonition that this case would not end so simply.

What they are about to face is an unprecedentedly tough battle.

……

Ronghua Hospital, Shenhai City.

The VIP emergency center on the top floor of the hospital has been completely sealed off.

A dozen burly men in black suits stood guard at the entrance of the emergency center, their faces expressionless as they surveyed the surroundings, preventing anyone from approaching.

The lights in the emergency room were on.

In the corridor outside the emergency room, a young man was pacing back and forth.

He walked quickly and anxiously, stopping every few steps to glance at the emergency room door before continuing his pace.

His eyes were bloodshot and red, filled with anxiety and worry, as well as a hint of barely concealed anger and self-blame.

This person was Qin Xiao.

He rushed over immediately after receiving Wu Chao's call.

Qin Xiao clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force, and his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood, but he was completely unaware of it.

If he had been with Wei Yuan back then, if he could have...

Too many "what ifs" and too much self-blame overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

He knew that with Wei Yuan's strength, ordinary gunmen couldn't hurt him at all.

But this time the opponent was clearly not ordinary. Not only did they have guns, but they also had armed helicopters and even a master of internal energy.

Just as Qin Xiao was blaming himself.

"Da da da..."

A series of hurried footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

The footsteps were light, yet quick, carrying an undisguised anxiety.

Qin Xiao suddenly stopped and turned around abruptly.

Two alluring and beautiful women were walking briskly toward them.

The beautiful woman walking in front was about forty years old. She was wearing a well-tailored moon-white cheongsam that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, with fair skin and exquisite features that resembled God's most perfect creation. Time seemed to have been exceptionally kind to her, leaving few traces on her face, but instead adding to her a unique charm and temperament of a mature woman.

But at this moment, her beautiful face was filled with solemnity and worry, her beautiful eyes were full of anxiety, and her steps were hurried, even a little unsteady.

This beautiful woman was none other than Mu Wanning.

The woman who was half a step behind her was a little younger, around thirty years old, wearing a smart black business suit, with her long hair pulled back, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck.

Her appearance was equally stunning, and she possessed an intellectual and elegant air. However, at this moment, her face was filled with anxiety and worry, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the direction of the emergency room.

This person was none other than Liu Xiangrong.

The two walked over quickly, their high heels clicking crisply on the polished marble floor, echoing in the quiet corridor.

Qin Xiao's expression turned even more ashamed when he saw the two of them.

He lowered his head, not daring to look Mu Wanning in the eye, his voice low and hoarse: "Madam..."

Mu Wanning didn't speak. Her gaze went past Qin Xiao and went straight to the door of the emergency room.

Seeing the lit red light, Mu Wanning's expression grew even colder.

Qin Xiao stood aside, watching Mu Wanning's expression, feeling increasingly uneasy and guilty.

He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Madam, it's all my fault for being useless and failing to protect my elder brother..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap suddenly rang out in the quiet corridor.

Mu Wanning suddenly turned around and slapped Qin Xiao hard across the face.

She was very strong; Qin Xiao's face was turned to one side by the blow, and a trickle of blood immediately seeped from the corner of his mouth.

The burly men in black suits in the corridor were startled and instinctively lowered their heads, not daring to look.

Liu Xiangrong was also stunned; she hadn't expected Mu Wanning to suddenly make a move.

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment after being hit. He slowly turned his head to look at Mu Wanning. There was no resentment on his face, only deep shame and self-blame.

Mu Wanning's face was cold and stern, her beautiful eyes filled with anger. She stared at Qin Xiao and said in an icy voice:

"Shut up."

"What time is it? Stop spouting nonsense!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority: "I'm asking you, what exactly happened?"

Qin Xiao covered his face, lowered his head, and recounted the whole story in a low voice.

From their arrival at the police station, then the bombing, followed by a chase to Changfeng Building, the drone explosion, the helicopter crash, and Wei Yuan's pursuit to the beach.

He described the whole process in great detail.

Of course, there were some details he didn't know, such as what Wei Yuan specifically experienced at sea, which he could only relay based on the information Wu Chao had given him.

Mu Wan listened quietly, her expression growing increasingly serious.

She didn't care about explosions, drones, or even the crash of armed helicopters.

The only person she cared about was the middle-aged fisherman who appeared to be a martial arts master!

Mu Wanning was unaware that the middle-aged fisherman was one of the so-called Ouroboros, so due to the information gap, a wonderful misunderstanding suddenly arose.
