Zhao Xiuying handed him her phone, and an anonymous message appeared on the screen: "Stop investigating, or you will bear the consequences."

"Damn it! These people are really going to extremes!" Sheng Nanting cursed angrily, then called Officer Liu. "Old Liu, something's wrong. Someone has directly threatened Yining's family. We have to act quickly."

"I understand. We will strengthen protective measures to ensure their safety." A steady voice came from the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Nanting turned to the crowd and said, "Don't go out now, I'll find some people to protect you. No one should move until this matter is resolved."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door, and everyone looked towards the door nervously. Sheng Nanting walked forward and looked out through the peephole, and saw a strange middle-aged woman who looked a little anxious.

"Who is it?" he asked warily.

"I'm Aunt Zhang, a neighbor living nearby. I have something I want to ask you..." The woman's voice trembled slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Sheng Nanting decided to open the door to see what was going on. "What's going on?"

"I heard your family is having some problems," Aunt Zhang gasped. "My son is a reporter for the local newspaper. If you need help from the media, please let me know."

Lu Yining immediately understood the other party's good intentions and hurried forward to shake Aunt Zhang's hand: "Thank you! We will contact you if there is any need. But for now, we still hope to resolve the problem as soon as possible."

As they chatted, the atmosphere in the Yueting Hotel lobby grew increasingly heated. The casually dressed man had already left, but the topic of the mysterious man was still being discussed enthusiastically by the young people.

"That person just now was really strange," the man with glasses said, "He actually came to me and asked for information."

"Indeed, but I think since he took the initiative to find us, it means that this matter may be much more complicated than we thought." The short-haired girl added.

At this time, a young man in sportswear came over and joined the discussion: "Hey, did you know? It is said that this amazing man is a retired special forces soldier!"

Everyone around him widened their eyes in disbelief. "Wow, this is so cool! No wonder he's so good at what he does," someone exclaimed.

Just as everyone was lost in their fantasies, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the Yueting Hotel. A black car pulled up at the entrance, and several men in black quickly got out and walked briskly into the hotel.

Seeing this, several young people immediately became alert and quietly moved to the window to find out what was going on. "What the hell is going on?" the man with glasses muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, an emergency meeting was underway at the police station. Several parties involved, including Xu Shengli, Zhao Xiuying, and Lu Yining, were invited to attend. Sheng Nanting sat by and listened attentively as Officer Liu analyzed the case.

"Based on the information we have now, the mastermind behind this is likely related to a large multinational group, and they don't seem to want certain secrets to be exposed."

"Then, what do we need to do to find the real murderer?" Xu Shengli asked with a frown.

"The most important thing right now is to ensure everyone's safety, and then use the existing clues to continue digging deeper." Officer Liu answered firmly.

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, Sheng Nanting's phone vibrated. He opened it and saw another warning message: "Give up resistance, otherwise greater losses will be waiting for you."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly grew tense, with everyone pondering their next move. Meanwhile, the young people watching in the hotel lobby also noticed the strange behavior of the men in black outside. They whispered among themselves, speculating on what would happen next...

"Oh, this is so scary. These people obviously have bad intentions." An elderly woman passing by sighed as she looked at the scene in front of her.

"Yeah, luckily that master brother showed up in time to save the situation, otherwise it would have been a big mess here." Another auntie nearby responded.

At this moment, several glaring lights suddenly lit up on the previously quiet street, and then a group of uniformed special police officers emerged from all directions, instantly forming a barrier to surround the suspicious individuals...

This scene shocked all the onlookers, who realized that tonight might be the start of something unexpected. As night fell, a contest fraught with uncertainty and danger quietly began... Xu Shengli and Zhao Xiuying sat in the conference room, expressions of solemnity. Sheng Nanting stood by the window, his gaze fixed on the movements outside. He clenched his fists, silently resolving to protect them and prevent any threats from succeeding.

"Officer Liu, what should we do next?" Xu Shengli asked in a deep voice, with a hint of suppressed anxiety in his voice.

"First, we must ensure everyone's safety," Officer Liu replied calmly. "We will mobilize additional police forces to strengthen the protection of your family. At the same time, we also need you to provide more information about this transnational group."

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. The door was pushed open, and a young female police officer hurried in, holding a document in her hand. "Captain Liu, the latest intelligence!"

Everyone looked up, their eyes fixed on the document in the policewoman's hands. She handed it to Officer Liu and quickly reported, "According to the latest leads, this multinational group has been active in China recently and is suspected of being connected to several major criminal cases. Furthermore, there are signs that they may have infiltrated our city and are preparing to take action."

Upon hearing the news, everyone present gasped. Zhao Xiuying couldn't help but hold Xu Shengli's hand, her eyes full of worry. Sheng Nanting came over and comforted her, "Don't worry, the police will take care of it."

Meanwhile, in the lobby of the Yueting Hotel, the young people watching were still whispering about what had just happened. A short-haired girl excitedly said, "That expert brother is so handsome! He feels like a hero from a TV show!"

"That's right!" The man with glasses nodded. "His moves are extraordinary. He must have a great background."

At that moment, there was another commotion at the door. Several men in black hurried in, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. One of them walked to the front desk and said in a commanding tone, "Hand over all your surveillance videos. We need to check them."

This scene surprised the surrounding guests and staff. A middle-aged man frowned and said, "What's going on? Is this hotel in trouble?"

An auntie nearby also echoed: "Yeah, it looks like these people are going to do something big."
