I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

At this moment, a police officer rushed in: "Chief, this is bad! The Shadow Society has surrounded the police station and is demanding the handover of Li Chen and his companions!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. The director took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic, everyone. We will protect your safety. Now, please give me the information and I will take immediate action."

Li Chen handed over the folder in his hand: "Please, Director."

The director nodded, took the folder, and immediately ordered all available forces to counterattack. Meanwhile, Zhao Long and others continued to resist stubbornly, buying time.

Final suspense

Outside the police station, the Shadow Society's numbers were growing, and the situation was extremely critical. Li Chen contacted Zhao Long again via the communicator: "Old Zhao, hold on! The police are providing full support."

"Don't worry, young man, we will never let these guys succeed easily." Zhao Long answered firmly.

The situation took a turn for the better as sirens blared and police cars' flashing blue lights approached in the distance.

"Chief, reinforcements have arrived!" a police officer reported.

Li Chen and Lu Yining stood at the window, watching the increasing number of police officers, their hearts filled with hope. However, the struggle was far from over.

"Can we completely defeat the Shadow Society this time?" Lu Yining asked the question that everyone was concerned about.

Li Chen looked out the window at the darkening night and said firmly, "No matter what the outcome, as long as we don't give up, victory will ultimately belong to the side of justice."

Just as he finished speaking, the director received a new piece of information, and his expression suddenly changed: "Not good! According to intelligence, there is a larger organization behind the Shadow Society..."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the next moment. A new and even more intense round of competition was about to begin...

"What does this mean?" Li Chen asked, the determination in his eyes never wavering.

The director said seriously: "This means our battle has just begun." In-depth investigation (continued)

Li Chen and Lu Yining stood at the police station window, looking out at the increasing number of police officers and the Shadow Society members in the distance, feeling mixed emotions. At this moment, the chief received a new piece of news, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Not good. According to intelligence reports, there is a larger organization behind the Shadow Society..." the director said in a deep voice.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the next moment. A hint of determination flashed in Li Chen's eyes, but he didn't say anything, just looked at the director quietly.

"What does this mean?" Zhang Ming asked from the side, the tension in his eyes difficult to conceal.

The director sighed: "This means our battle has just begun."

"A larger organization?" Li Chen frowned. "We need more information before we can formulate our next plan."

The chief nodded and immediately ordered his men to continue gathering intelligence and increasing vigilance. At this moment, the situation outside the police station remained tense. The Shadow Society's presence was increasing, seemingly threatening to engulf the small police station.

"Have you heard? The Shadow Society is going to attack the police station!" A passerby said to his companions in surprise.

"Yeah, that's crazy! How dare they do that!" another passerby exclaimed.

"These guys are so cruel. Who gave them the courage?" An old man next to him shook his head with a serious expression.

"But I heard that the police have obtained important evidence this time and they must arrest them," a young man said excitedly.

Li Chen looked out the window and saw the reactions of passersby, and a sense of mission surged in his heart. He knew that he could not let down these people who supported justice.

At this moment, a police officer came in and reported: "Chief, Zhao Long is requesting support. They are in a very dangerous situation."

"Send reinforcements immediately!" the director gave the order, then turned to Li Chen and Lu Yining, "You need to rest for a while. Let the police handle the rest."

"No, we can't just stand by and watch." Li Chen said firmly, "We must see the outcome of this battle with our own eyes."

Lu Yining nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must work together with Zhao Long and others to fight these enemies."

"These guys are really brave, they are worthy of being the heroes of our city!" an aunt exclaimed.

"Yes, their spirit makes us proud." An old man next to them also gave a thumbs up.

The director smiled slightly, touched by the persistence and courage. "Alright, but be careful. We will do our best to protect your safety."

Return to the battlefield

Led by the police, Li Chen and Lu Yining returned to the street outside. By this time, it was completely dark, and the streets and alleys were filled with a tense atmosphere. Gunfire and shouting could be heard from a distance, clearly indicating that the battle had reached a fever pitch.

Li Chen contacted Zhao Long through the communicator: "Old Zhao, we are on our way, please hold on!"

"I'm glad you're here. Find a safe place to hide quickly. It's very dangerous here." Zhao Long's voice sounded in the communicator, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

"No, we want to help you." Li Chen said firmly, "Tell us your location and we'll rush out together."

After a moment's hesitation, Zhao Long told them where they were: "We're in the alley behind the factory in the North District. Be careful."

Perilous

Li Chen and Lu Yining followed the designated alley, constantly seeing patrols passing along the way. Every time they heard footsteps, they held their breath, searching for a hidden spot. The alley was winding and narrow, and the darkness seemed to hold countless dangers.

Finally, behind a dilapidated iron gate, they saw Zhao Long and several other people. Zhao Long's face was covered in blood and his clothes were torn in many places, but he still stubbornly held his position.

"Old Zhao!" Li Chen called out in a low voice and walked quickly forward.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Long was a little surprised, then he smiled with relief, "That's great."

"We're here to help." Lu Yining said as he checked the surroundings, "Is the defense here sufficient?"

"It's barely possible, but we must evacuate as soon as possible," Zhao Long said. "There are too many people from the Shadow Society, and their equipment is more advanced than ours."

Li Chen nodded in agreement: "The director has arranged reinforcements. Let's hold our ground and wait for the police to arrive before taking action."

Suddenly, several searchlights shone from the alley entrance, illuminating the depths of the lane. Accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps, several members of the Shadow Society in black uniforms slowly approached.

"They are coming, get ready to fight!" a companion shouted, raising his weapon.

"Don't be afraid, we can definitely hold on!" Another voice sounded in the darkness, which seemed particularly inspiring.
