The incident was over, and Chen Yingyin had called for backup and explained the situation.
Although the detention room was destroyed, Xiao Lin still remained there.
This time, several more police officers were assigned to guard him.
His gaze was vacant, and he didn't respond to anyone who spoke to him.
Outside the police station.
Chen Yingyin looked at Gu Yan with a hint of reproach: "Didn't I tell you to wait in the duty room? What if there had been danger?"
Gu Yan shook his head upon hearing this, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head as he smiled and said, "But you're my sister, and I was worried you might be in danger too."
This kid...
Chen Yingyin felt touched, and her good impression of Gu Yan returned. It seemed the rumors outside were indeed just rumors.
The little brother she had watched grow up might be a bit mischievous, but his nature was still kind.
She smiled slightly and ruffled Gu Yan's hair: "I understand. It's late, you should go home now."
"Alright, Sister Yingyin, you be careful too."
After watching Gu Yan get into the car that came to pick him up and drive away, Chen Yingyin finally felt at ease and walked into the police station.
She thought about Gu Yan's sincere and kind demeanor, and smiled slightly.
Hmm... this kid isn't as bad as the rumors say.
......
....
In the moving car.
The smell of blood permeated the interior.
"Hiss... here... this is what you wanted... cough..."
Mei Xue's vision was blurry. She clutched her wound, enduring the intense pain as she opened her hand.
Revealing half of a dragon-shaped jade pendant.
Seeing this, the corners of Gu Yan's mouth curved up slightly. He took it and looked at it.
The jade was crystal clear. Although it was only half, one could still feel the power hidden within it.
For instance, right now.
As Gu Yan held it in his hand, his entire spirit seemed to be gradually rising, and a stream of pure energy surged within his body.
"Very good."
Gu Yan smiled with satisfaction.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes. This half of the jade pendant was called the [Dragon King Jade].
It was the greatest treasure of the Dragon King Palace.
Legend had it that the Dragon King Jade could enhance comprehension and cultivation speed, as well as resist all forms of enchantment.
Whoever obtained the complete Dragon King Jade could lead the entire Dragon King Palace.
However, due to a great battle, the Dragon King Jade was split into two halves.
One half was in the hands of the old palace master of the Dragon King Palace, while the other half was kept by the Bai Family.
Gu Yan recalled the plot of the original story in his mind.
According to the story, Xiao Lin would be bailed out by the Bai Family the next day, and they would introduce him to their eldest daughter, Bai Qionglan.
The purpose was twofold: first, to let the two get to know each other, hopefully leading to a happy marriage.
Secondly... according to the rules, if Xiao Lin wanted to get the other half of the jade pendant, he would need to ask the opinion of the person involved.
And now, that piece of jade with purifying power was coincidentally in the hands of the Bai Family's eldest daughter, Bai Qionglan.
Gu Yan fiddled with the jade pendant in his hand, his eyes somewhat playful.
The Dragon King Palace doesn't recognize people, only the jade pendant.
The moment the two halves of the jade pendant are combined into a complete one.
The Dragon King Palace would recognize its master!
Wasn't this also a way to snatch away the protagonist's fortuitous encounter?
The Dragon King Jade would bring tremendous help to Xiao Lin, he must obtain it.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan smiled at Old Gao who was driving in front and said, "Old Gao, what do you think of Xiao Lin's strength?"
Old Gao had actually arrived at the police station earlier, and he was the one who had attacked Xiao Lin in black clothes.
Hearing this, Old Gao remained silent for a moment. A hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Very strong. This young man is stronger than me."
If it weren't for Gu Yan telling him through the earpiece to throw the jade pendant to the woman named Mei Xue in the corner, he couldn't imagine what it would have felt like to be punched by Xiao Lin at such close range.
It's truly a case of a young hero...
But most importantly.
Old Gao focused on driving, his tone somewhat heavy: "Young Master, do you know about martial artists?"
From the moment Gu Yan arranged for him to come and snatch the jade pendant, Old Gao had sensed something.
His young master seemed to know a lot.
Hearing this, Gu Yan shrugged and asked in return, "As the biggest young master in Jianghai City, why wouldn't I know?"
Old Gao laughed upon hearing this: "Young Master is right. But Young Master, you'd better take a look at that woman coughing blood, she seems to be in critical condition."
"......"
Gu Yan glanced at Mei Xue beside him, who had closed her eyes, her face pale, and her breathing becoming weak.
He shook his head helplessly.
She really knows how to cause trouble.
If she had followed his plan, she wouldn't have been so severely injured.
"Go to the hospital......"
Just as Gu Yan started to speak, Mei Xue grabbed his arm, struggling to open her eyes, and said weakly, "Can't go..."
"True qi... entered the body... the methods of the mundane world won't work....."
In battles between martial artists, the mundane world could only treat external injuries, while the true qi impacting the body required different methods.
Gu Yan frowned. Where did she want to go then? It couldn't be to Leng Qingqiu's place, could it?
That wouldn't do. She might as well die here than go to Leng Qingqiu's place.
In the next second, Mei Xue endured the intense pain and said, "Go to... the tea restaurant."
Oh, that place.
Gu Yan expressionlessly told Old Gao, "Drive to Jianghai Waterway."
"Yes, Young Master."
Soon after.
The car slowly came to a stop on a street with few people.
Gu Yan gestured with his chin: "Get out. You can crawl the rest of the way if you have to."
He didn't want to expose his true relationship with Mei Xue so early.
Nor did he dare to bet that other members of the Night Organization would keep his secret.
Hearing this, Mei Xue gritted her teeth and pushed open the car door. She shakily and painfully got out of the car.
As she closed the car door, the window rolled down.
Gu Yan said flatly, "Consider the first task completed."
Before Mei Xue could say anything, the window rolled back up and the car drove away.
Mei Xue watched the departing car and shook her head.
She tried hard to keep herself alert.
Four more tasks to go...
Brother... wait for me, your sister will definitely find you.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
