After Yang Yi and his group left, Shadow One arrived by car. Upon entering, he frowned slightly—astonished that the villa’s front door was left open!

Something was clearly wrong. He quickened his pace into the house, and a chill ran down his spine.

A flower lay on the ground, with a clear footprint on it!

An uneasy feeling welled up within him. He silently prayed that nothing had gone wrong as he rushed upstairs to search.

After searching the entire place, his heart surged with murderous intent.

No sign of her!

She wasn’t upstairs.

She wasn’t in the garden.

She wasn’t anywhere nearby!

Swallowing hard, Shadow One wondered if something terrible had happened. But that couldn’t be true!

He returned to the villa and called out softly, "Tiantian, where are you? Uncle Shadow is here. Tiantian?"

There was no response.

At that moment, his concern deepened. He had searched every corner of the villa, but Tiantian was nowhere to be found.

Picking up the flower from the floor, Shadow One trembled, his eyes brimming with cold, murderous intent.

Without a doubt, Tiantian would never have discarded the flower on the ground, which meant something must have happened to her.

And it had been no more than five minutes from when he received the call to when he arrived.

In other words, Tiantian disappeared right after Yang Yi left!

"No matter who you are, if you dare touch Tiantian, you're courting death!"

With a furious shout, Shadow One turned and dashed out of the villa, jumping into his car and flooring the gas pedal, sending the SUV speeding away.

Although he might not know Yang Yi well, he knew how much Tiantian meant to Yang Yi. She was his lifeblood, his untouchable scale.

Whoever touched her would die without exception!

"No matter who you are, you'd better not harm a single hair on the princess's head!"

Shadow One murmured to himself, now only hoping that Tiantian wasn’t hurt. Otherwise...

...

Inside the Inspection Bureau building.

Yang Yi sat in a chair, his hands cuffed to the metal table in front of him. The room was cold and cramped, a typical interrogation room reserved for serious criminals.

He had been sitting there for a while, but no one had come in. He knew this was part of the interrogation process—leaving the suspect alone to build psychological pressure.

Of course, these tactics were child’s play to Yang Yi, so he simply closed his eyes to rest.

Several minutes later, two people entered the room. Leading the way was Yan Yushan, known as the "Living Yama." Behind him was Master Jin, who had encountered Yang Yi twice before.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Both men wore stern expressions and remained silent, exuding an air of authority.

Outside the interrogation room, it was quite a scene. After all, it was the first time that both the bureau chief and the squad leader were interrogating a suspect together.

But everyone understood—the suspect in this case was tied to the massive Yunding Villa case.

Over twenty people had died, more than thirty were seriously injured, and, most importantly, two prominent figures from Zhongjing City had lost their lives. The higher-ups were all paying close attention to this case!

Bang!

Master Jin slammed a dossier onto the table, producing a dull thud, and then took out a pen.

Meanwhile, Yan Yushan sat down and coldly stared at Yang Yi. Though his figure was gaunt, he resembled a venomous snake—cold and sinister.

"Yang Yi?" Yan Yushan finally spoke. He had been sizing up Yang Yi since he entered, but found nothing particularly remarkable about him.

Yet, the dossier told a different story. This man had not only caused a scene at the Zhou family wedding but had also audaciously purchased a villa in the Hanguang Lake district. That alone was shocking.

Leaving aside the wedding incident, the fact that he could afford a villa in Hanguang Lake wasn’t something just anyone could do.

That area didn’t even give face to ordinary second-tier families; only first-tier family members were qualified to live there.

But this kid—Yan Yushan had reviewed the information—had no solid background to speak of.

That made him suspicious.

As for the wedding fiasco, that was the Zhou family’s wedding. Causing a ruckus at such an event was equivalent to declaring open war against the Zhou family. Only a first-tier family could pull off something like that, and who would do it without sufficient benefit?

But this kid did it just to snatch away a concubine from the Zhou family? For a woman? He didn’t even know what to think.

Ridiculous!

That was the only thought he had.

No matter what Yan Yushan thought, Yang Yi, across from him, merely glanced at him coldly and said calmly, "Spare me the nonsense."

Yan Yushan’s brows furrowed sharply. Where he had previously appeared hunched like a frail old man, he suddenly straightened up, slammed the table, and shouted, "Audacious!"

"Do you not understand where you are? In the Inspection Bureau, one word from me can make your life a living hell! How dare you behave so insolently in front of me! You’re asking for death!"

Yang Yi looked at him indifferently and said, "You must be quite something then! Calling me insolent? I suppose I am. After all, this place isn’t much different from a hotel to me—just less comfortable."

At these words, Yan Yushan’s eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Yang Yi, realizing that there wasn’t the slightest trace of pretense in his demeanor.

This realization made him suspicious, and his voice turned cold as he said, "Confess. How did you kill the Zhou family father and son, as well as the Zhou family’s twenty-eight bodyguards?"

Beside him, Master Jin was scribbling notes, inwardly admiring Yan Yushan.

Asking how instead of whether he did it. This put Yang Yi in the position of the perpetrator from the start—a clever tactic.

Master Jin glanced at Yang Yi, thinking that with Yan Yushan personally questioning him, this case was as good as closed. Whether Yang Yi was the killer or not, he was destined to be the scapegoat; there was no escaping it.

Moreover, this kid had offended the Dong family as well. Just now, someone from the Dong family was outside, repeatedly hinting that they wanted to teach this kid a lesson. It seemed Yang Yi was in for some suffering before his death.

Master Jin didn’t care much. After all, a dead man was a dead man—how he died didn’t matter. Who told him to be so reckless?

Master Jin was also a bit embarrassed, feeling that he had been intimidated by Yang Yi earlier.

But after Yan Yushan personally investigated and found that Yang Yi indeed had no backing, Master Jin was furious. If he had known, he wouldn’t have shown him any respect and would have acted harshly from the start.

No one knew what was going on in Master Jin’s mind, but Yang Yi let out a cold laugh. "Murder? Did you see it? Where’s your evidence? Do you have any?"

"Arrogant!"

At this point, Yan Yushan had calmed down and coldly spat out the word before looking at Master Jin. "You tell him."

Master Jin immediately responded, "Evidence? Hmph, do you think the Inspection Bureau would arrest you without evidence? Kid, you’re really stubborn!

You want evidence, right? I am the evidence! When you attacked Zhou Feng at the wedding banquet, I was there on the scene! What, have you forgotten so quickly?"

As he spoke, Master Jin’s gaze turned icy. "You were so arrogant when you grabbed Zhou Feng by the throat to threaten everyone. Did you not consider your current situation?"
