Magistrate Jin’s face was grim. For the past few days, he had been investigating Yang Yi, only to discover that this man had blatantly purchased a villa!

It was unbelievable to him.

Anyone else in trouble would have fled immediately. But Yang Yi? He had never encountered anyone like him before.

Because of this, the excitement Jin had initially felt about capturing Yang Yi had dissipated.

Initially, he was eager to please Director Yan Yushan, but now he had to consider his own position.

To offend the Zhou family and then openly buy a villa—either Yang Yi was an idiot, or he had powerful backing. Who else would dare be so brazen?

Could Yang Yi be an idiot? Jin didn’t think so.

Furthermore, he wasn’t sure if this young man named Yang Yi was the culprit, but even if he wasn’t, Jin had seen his skills firsthand—definitely not someone to be underestimated!

So, when it came time to make the arrest, Jin was very uneasy, fearing that one misstep could land him in trouble.

After confirming the house number, he armed himself, surveyed the surroundings, and began issuing orders:

“Keep an eye out. A few of you go around back to prevent him from escaping through a window! Remember, if he shows any resistance, kill him on the spot! Don’t let him escape, or you’ll all pay for it!”

“Yes, sir!”

The group of inspectors responded with equally serious expressions.

The next moment, Jin straightened his collar, his eyes cold as he gazed at the villa’s entrance. In his heart, he cursed Yang Yi, thinking that this time he would make sure to give him a harsh lesson.

With that, Jin signaled, and someone stepped forward.

“Open up! Open the door!”

Hearing the commotion outside, Yang Yi had already reached the door.

When he opened it, he saw a group of inspectors gathered outside the courtyard gate, all of them on high alert, as if facing a great enemy. Some were even sweating on their foreheads.

Seeing this, Yang Yi found it amusing. Were these really the inspectors?

Pathetic. Could these people really protect the citizens?

He sneered, saying, “No rush. I’ll make a call first.”

The inspectors in front were about to shout at him to stop, but suddenly remembered that this was a major case, and with the commanding officer present, they quickly held their tongues and turned to look at Magistrate Jin, awaiting his orders.

Jin, too, looked around and saw that his men had surrounded the area. He was sure that Yang Yi wouldn’t be able to escape.

He sneered and said, “Make a call? Hmph, kid, even if you call the King of Heaven today, he won’t be able to save you! I advise you not to struggle and come with us quietly. Don’t make my men use force!”

Despite his words, Jin was a seasoned officer. Whether or not Yang Yi had any backing, he would wait for a bit rather than act immediately. Better safe than sorry.

If Yang Yi had connections, giving him time wasn’t a mistake.

If he didn’t, it would only delay things slightly. Jin could afford to wait.

He wouldn’t lose out either way.

Such was the advantage of experience—putting profit first and always being cautious. This was Jin’s hard-earned wisdom.

Yang Yi sized up Jin briefly, recognizing the man’s cunning. He merely smiled and said calmly, “Alright, remember what you said.”

At this moment, Yang Yi’s call connected: “Come over and keep an eye on Tiantian. The inspectors are here, and I need to go with them. Understood?”

Ying, on the other end, immediately understood Yang Yi’s meaning: “Yes, sir! I swear to protect the princess with my life!”

“Come quickly,” Yang Yi said, then hung up.

Seeing that he had finished his call, Jin prepared to order his men to break in.

But just then, a small figure came stumbling out of the villa—it was Tiantian.

“Daddy, Daddy!”

Tiantian had woken up and was scared when she didn’t see Yang Yi.

Fortunately, she spotted him outside. But seeing so many people around, she became timid and afraid to call out. Reaching out to be held, she tripped and fell after only a couple of steps.

Seeing this, Yang Yi quickly turned to go to her, but at that moment, several inspectors who had circled around the back blocked his way. They pulled out handcuffs and sneered, “Don’t move! Get down on your knees with your hands behind your head...”

“Get out of my way!”

Before they could finish, Yang Yi’s body exuded a terrifying killing intent!

His fists clenched. If they continued to block his path, he wouldn’t hesitate to teach them a harsh lesson.

“You... you... you...”

The inspectors in front of him were so frightened by Yang Yi’s intense gaze that they staggered back, clearing a path instantly. They looked at Yang Yi in horror, as if they had seen a ghost!

Those cold, merciless eyes seemed to carry the weight of countless corpses and rivers of blood, sending chills down their spines and making their hair stand on end.

Even Magistrate Jin and his men, standing behind, felt a bone-chilling cold as they watched Yang Yi in fear.

Jin’s pupils contracted, his throat dry, as he stared in shock at Yang Yi’s back. “This, this...”

By then, Yang Yi had already scooped up Tiantian, gently patting her back. “It’s alright, Daddy’s here. Don’t be scared. Did you wake up? Why didn’t you wait for Daddy to come back and instead ran out by yourself?”

Tiantian clung tightly to Yang Yi’s neck, burying her head in his shoulder, too afraid to look up. She said softly, “Tiantian was afraid Daddy would leave.”

Seeing Tiantian so frightened, Yang Yi glanced at the inspectors, his eyes filled with murderous intent. But he restrained himself and said softly, “Good girl, Tiantian. Don’t be scared. Daddy won’t leave you secretly. I’ll always be with you.

These are all uncles and brothers from the Inspection Bureau. They’re here to ask Daddy for help. You stay home and wait for Uncle Shadow, okay? He’ll be here soon and will bring the toys you like. Daddy promises to come back soon, alright?”

Only then did Tiantian lift her head and glance timidly at the others before looking back at Yang Yi, her voice soft and childish. “Okay, Tiantian will listen to Daddy and wait for Uncle Shadow at home. But Daddy has to come back soon, okay?”

Yang Yi smiled and said, “Alright, Tiantian. Go back inside now. Be good and don’t be scared. Uncle Shadow will be here soon, and Daddy will be back as soon as possible.”

Tiantian nodded, emphasizing again, “Daddy, you have to come back soon. Tiantian will miss you.”

Yang Yi smiled, warmed by his daughter’s concern. He replied gently, “Daddy promises to come home early for Tiantian.”

Saying that, Yang Yi casually plucked a flower from the garden and tucked it behind Tiantian’s ear, making her giggle. He then set her down.

Watching Tiantian run back into the villa, Yang Yi waved at her.

“Goodbye, Daddy,” Tiantian called out.

“Goodbye, sweetheart,” Yang Yi replied.

After that, Yang Yi turned and got into the car with the inspectors.

Once everyone was inside, the car drove away.

Only then did Tiantian, somewhat disappointed, turn and head back into the living room. She was about to close the door when suddenly, a hand grabbed the edge of the door forcefully...
