Xia Linyuan glanced at Zhuge Qing and politely declined, saying, "I may not be able to teach you this. The special technique I practice is called the Divine Mask. Although it is not particularly powerful, it is still a family heirloom."

Zhuge Qing pursed his lips, his expression complex.

Wang Ye leaned closer and whispered to Xia Linyuan, "The Samadhi True Fire is also a family heirloom of the Marquis of Wu..."

Xia Linyuan looked stiffly at Wang Ye, raising an eyebrow. 'Really?'

Wang Ye understood Xia Linyuan's meaning and nodded solemnly...

Cloud Stack

A tall, middle-aged man in sportswear came to the door. Looking at the lavish decorations, he smiled with satisfaction: "Xiao Yuan certainly knows how to enjoy life."

Ding Dong

I rang the doorbell a few times.

Finding no one responding from inside, he gave up. He tossed his backpack on the ground to use as a chair, took out a cigarette, and lit it: "Where have you been so late?"

A chilly night wind blew, and suddenly the cell phone rang.

A chilly night wind blew. The villas in the Cloud Inn were far apart, and there were no lights in sight.

A figure stood in the darkness, silently gazing at the villa.

The man was lifeless, his face was deathly pale, and his cheeks were painted with comical blush.

They walked forward mechanically, taking one step deep and one step shallow.

"I urge you to stop. I don't want to kill someone in Xiaoyuan's new house."

Xiao Zizai smoked a cigarette, scrolling through his phone without even looking up.

The man stopped, his black pupils seemingly painted on, staring unblinkingly at Xiao Zizai before continuing toward the house.

Xiao Zizai sighed and threw his cigarette butt on the ground: "He won't listen to advice."

He stomped on the ground, appeared in front of the man, and smashed his head to pieces with a palm strike.

The expected brain matter did not appear. Instead, a number of parts were blown out.

Xiao Zizai frowned: "So it's a puppet. No wonder it felt so bad. Not satisfying at all..."

Xiao Zizai's eyes gradually turned crimson, and a terrifying killing intent emanated from his body as he looked into the shadows: "Want to have some fun?"

The person hiding in the shadows swallowed hard; even with three puppets around him, he still felt no sense of security.

He manipulated a puppet to toss a note over, then ran away without looking back, muttering to himself, "Sorry, Master! Your puppet parts can't be retrieved! This man is terrifying!"

Xiao Zizai sighed in disappointment, slowly stepped forward, and picked up the note.

Biyou Resort

Person in charge: Ma Xianhong

Contact number: 138xxxx...

Isn't this the location for our mission?

Why would they come looking for Xiaoyuan?

Xiao Zizai put the card in his pocket, sat back on his backpack, played on his phone, and waited quietly...

Chapter 162: Wang Bing goes offline.

On his way home, Xia Linyuan was already somewhat mentally exhausted.

All I could think of were the words my grandfather said when he taught me to sing "Red Boy".

"Lin Yuan, this Red Boy is a great calamity on the journey to the West. Even Sun Wukong suffered a great setback because of him. Red Boy punched himself in the nose three times, releasing his fire, which almost burned Sun Wukong to death."

When you sing the song of Red Boy, you cannot use this technique to vent your anger, so your mind must not be impatient, jealous, resentful, or arrogant. Humans are mortals, incomparable to divine beings; violating even one of these four precepts will bring fire upon yourself, harming both yourself and others.

Xia Linyuan rubbed his face vigorously, then slammed it on the seat as if throwing his face at it: "You lied to me again!!"

They actually taught me how to use Samadhi Fire in this way, and I still believe it to this day to be a divine power!

Gao Zhan was startled: "Brother Xia, are you alright?!"

"It's nothing." Xia Linyuan took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then turned his gaze to Gao Zhan's hand: "How did you feel after hitting Zhang Chulan today?"

Gao Zhan shrugged dismissively: "It's boring, that kid doesn't even fight back."

"Do you know why you didn't fight back?"

Xia Linyuan continued to ask.

"He's bad at it."

Gao Zhan gave a very concise answer.

Xia Linyuan slowly shook his head: "Although his kung fu may not be as good as yours, he has Feng Baobao. As long as he gives the order, Feng Baobao can easily subdue you."

"Then why doesn't he do it?"

Gao Yuan asked in a low, booming voice as he drove.

"Perhaps so that I can deal with you without any remorse in the future?"

Xia Linyuan revealed a playful smile and threatened the Gao brothers.

The Gao brothers completely disregarded Zhang Chulan, a man known for his cunning and treacherous nature. If they weren't careful, they might suffer losses at the hands of these people in the future.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhan laughed out loud: "If he wants to deal with me, he can deal with me. Why would I be afraid of him?"

Gao Yuan glanced at Gao Zhan's smug expression and nodded heavily: "Brother Xia, I understand what you mean. A dog that bites doesn't bark. But I'll remember a dog that isn't killed with a single blow."

Xia Linyuan nodded, his gaze slowly turning to the window.

With the Guangming building issue resolved, Wang Ye will now hand over all matters to Zhang Chulan. Given Zhang Chulan's abilities, he should be able to easily come up with a solution.

Xia Linyuan looked at the documents beside him. He figured that he could just hand these over to Huazhong and let them arrest the people, and everything would be fine.

"Brother Xia, there are people at the door."

Gao Yuan said with some surprise.

The car headlights pierced the darkness, illuminating the road ahead. A familiar figure came into view.

"Master Xiao...Master Xiao!"

Gao Zhan, who was usually quick-witted, suddenly started to stutter.

In the East China Company, the name Xiao Zi was considered terrifying, whether it was the alias Xiao Tianting or the real name Xiao Zi. Despite having two identities, Xiao Zi had somehow managed to integrate them into a pathological and cruel persona.

Even Gao Zhan, who is so carefree, is afraid to see him.

Upon hearing Xiao Zizai's name, Xia Linyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly got out of the car to greet him, "Master Xiao, you've arrived."

He glanced at his phone and said, "It would be good if you could let me know beforehand, and I'll give you the password."

Xiao Zizai stood up and slowly took off his glasses: "You've been dealing with the Wang family lately, so I don't want to bother you."

Xia Linyuan opened the door and casually revealed the house's password. With Xiao Zizai's excellent memory, it was immediately imprinted in his mind.

Aren't you two coming in?

Just as Xiao Zizai was about to step into the room, he glanced back.

The Gao brothers gave a dry laugh: "There's evidence of the Wang family's crimes in the car. We're planning to send it to Central China and make the arrests tomorrow! Brother Xia, wait for our good news!"

After saying that, he drove away without waiting for Xia Linyuan to stop him.

Xiao Zizai smiled approvingly: "They're still so diligent."

Xia Linyuan's lips twitched; after all, they had seen him 'dining' before...

"Five ghosts, pour water."

Xia Linyuan called out as soon as he entered the room.

The expected five ghosts did not appear.

The air was as still as water.

Xia Linyuan turned on the light with a puzzled look. The living room was still a bit messy, the wallpaper was torn, and the balcony door leading to the pool was smashed.

Xia Linyuan's good mood vanished in the blink of an eye.

"You can check it out."

Xiao Zizai knew Xia Linyuan's abilities. In cases like this, where someone violently broke into a house and left behind a lot of information, Xia Linyuan could determine the basic information of the other party with just his naked eye.

"Okay. Then please have some water and rest for a while, Master."

Xia Linyuan personally poured Xiao Zizai a cup of warm water, showing that the tradition of respecting one's teacher was ingrained in his very being.

Xiao Zizai took the water and sat on the sofa without saying anything to comfort him. Some things are better left for children to solve on their own.

Xia Linyuan walked to the edge of the pool, his eyes flashing with a white flame. Having worked in East China for so many years, Xia Linyuan had learned a lot about criminal investigation.

Inferring someone's identity from details is the most basic thing in the world.

A person's height can usually be determined from their footprints and stride length...
