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

"We must act quickly and not let their plan succeed," the director said in a deep voice.

"We suggest setting up a special operations team, led by ourselves, to concentrate all our efforts to fight against this criminal organization," Li Chen suggested.

The director nodded and agreed to the proposal. Afterwards, the meeting determined a detailed action plan and assigned tasks.

As night falls, special operations teams begin to deploy throughout the city. On the streets and alleys, ordinary citizens continue to carry on as usual, but they may not realize that the city is experiencing an unprecedented storm.

"Look, why are there so many policemen?" A young man said to his companions in confusion as he looked at the dense crowds of police and plainclothes policemen on the street.

"It must be something big. Didn't we hear about some criminal organization recently?" another person answered.

Li Chen and Lu Yining led their team members to quietly sneak into an old warehouse in an underground parking lot. Intelligence showed that this might be a temporary base of the Shadow Society.

"The action begins, everyone be careful." Li Chen whispered.

Entering the warehouse, everything seemed unusually quiet. The team members carefully searched every corner, but seemed to find no trace of the enemy.

"It looks like no one has used this place for a long time." A team member whispered.

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded, and then the warehouse door slammed shut and all the lights went out.

"Oh no, there's a trap!" Li Chen shouted.

In the darkness, several red lasers lit up instantly, crisscrossing the entire space. Li Chen and Lu Yining immediately directed the team members to avoid the laser beams and find a way out.

"These guys are so insidious!" complained a team member.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the darkness.

"Do you really think you can catch us so easily?" The voice of the senior member of the Shadow Society sounded coldly.

"You're back again?" Li Chen asked with a frown.

"I'm just a bait. The real boss has already prepared the next game." He chuckled.

Suddenly, the surrounding walls collapsed, and several members of the Shadow Society crawled out from the ruins, holding various weapons, and surrounded Li Chen, Lu Yining and his group.

"Run away! There's danger here!" Some enthusiastic citizens in the crowd outside noticed something unusual and shouted for help.

The situation became increasingly critical. Li Chen and Lu Yining led the team to fight bravely, trying to break through the encirclement.

"We must hold on, support will be here soon!" Li Chen encouraged the team members.

Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, urgent sirens sounded outside the warehouse, and a large number of police cars roared in. Reinforcements finally arrived.

"Hold on, we're coming!" the reinforcement captain shouted.

Li Chen and Lu Yining took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and handed the remaining enemies to the reinforcements. At this time, the senior members of the Shadow Society tried to escape again, but were intercepted by the police who arrived in time.

"Let's see where you can run this time!" Li Chen pushed him to the ground.

"You win." He said unwillingly.

Although the situation was temporarily under control, Li Chen and Lu Yining knew that the battle was far from over. On their way back to the police station, they received new instructions from the chief.

"We just received the latest intelligence that the leader of the Shadow Society has appeared in a factory in the suburbs," the director said over the radio.

"Got it, we'll go there immediately." Li Chen responded decisively.

The police car sped towards the suburbs, and the city at night was shrouded in an ominous atmosphere. After arriving at the factory, Li Chen and Lu Yining led the team to approach quietly.

"We must succeed this time." Lu Yining whispered.

Li Chen nodded, took a deep breath, and pushed open the factory door.

"I hope our action will be successful." Li Chen said to himself.

"No matter how difficult it is, we will not give up." Lu Yining said firmly.

The final chapter suspense

As the door slowly opened, the scene inside made everyone gasp—the leader of the Shadow Society stood in the middle of a huge warehouse, with a dozen fully armed men standing behind him.

"Welcome to my home turf." The boss said without even a hint of a smile.

"Today is the end of you." Li Chen fought back without showing any weakness.

A fierce battle is about to begin, and who will win in this battle is still unknown. But one thing is certain: Li Chen and Lu Yining will do their utmost to maintain the peace of this city.

"Let's face this final battle." Li Chen said firmly.

"No matter what, justice will prevail." Lu Yining's eyes flashed.

In this struggle full of uncertainty and challenges, a new battle is about to begin...

Sheng Nanting's eyes grew stern. He slowly put down the mouse, leaned back in his chair, and stared at Lu Yining intently. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became somewhat depressing.

"Invite me to dinner? What? Do they think a meal can solve all the problems?" Sheng Nanting's voice was low and sneered.

Lu Yining pursed his lips and said softly, "They also hope to solve the problem as soon as possible."

Sheng Nanting sneered, "Problem? What problem? Is it Xu Muze's problem? Or is it your problem?"

His tone was cold and sharp, making Lu Yining feel pressured. She took a deep breath and continued, "You know, Xu Muze won't be able to stay in there for even a minute longer. His parents are also worried..."

"So what?" Sheng Nanting interrupted her, his eyes sharper. "Lu Yining, let me tell you, not everyone can be forgiven by me so easily."

Lu Yining's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, but she remained calm and said softly: "I know, Fourth Uncle, but at least give them some face, it can be regarded as giving them a chance."

Sheng Nanting was silent for a while, as if weighing something, and finally said: "Okay, I will go. But you also have to understand that I may not change my mind."

Lu Yining breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained calm. "Thank you, Fourth Uncle."

At this moment, the office door was gently pushed open, and Assistant Xiao Wang poked his head in and asked cautiously, "Mr. Sheng, it's time for lunch. Do you need to arrange a restaurant?"

Sheng Nanting replied coldly: "No need, I have already promised Miss Lu to have dinner at the Yueting Hotel."

Xiao Wang was slightly startled when he heard this, then revealed a surprised expression, clearly not expecting this. He quickly nodded, "Okay, Mr. Sheng, I'll tell the driver to get the car ready."

As Xiao Wang turned to leave, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Yining once more, his eyes filled with confusion and curiosity. Obviously, everyone in the company knew Sheng Nanting's character very well, and almost no one had ever seen him take the initiative to accept such an invitation.
