Hearing this made Klein feel a little better.

Although it wasn't the news he most wanted, it would still be good to catch the culprit behind spreading the information.

"Sir, we cannot currently determine the mastermind behind this, but we suspect that everything is inextricably linked to Lu Feng and Pierce!"

"This is what happened..."

In the following minutes, his subordinates recounted the results of their investigation over the past two days in detail.

It turned out that by following the clues from those incriminating materials, they quickly identified Pierce, the head of the police department.

And by observing that Pierce's wife and children were kidnapped and then returned safe and sound, it can be deduced that Pierce has joined forces with Landwind.

"Is that so?"

"Lu Feng, you've got some impressive skills!"

Having learned everything, Klein murmured softly.

The investigation by my subordinates is not without merit; there is indeed a suspicion that the two sides are working together.

Lu Feng is resourceful. Pierce has done a lot of dirty work for him over the years, so it's perfectly normal for him to know some of the Evan family's dirty secrets.

What surprised him most was that Pierce actually dared to betray him and the Evan family.

"It seems we haven't really gotten serious in a long time. Now even the most insignificant people dare to bully us!"

Recalling what had happened during this period, he snorted coldly.

First, they were inexplicably attacked by missiles, and the entire family was almost destroyed. Then, various scandals emerged, followed by a violent attack on the entire family by thugs, resulting in the deaths and injuries of more than a dozen family members.

Even the bodyguard captain who had served him for many years was dead.

All these results combined enraged the man who called himself Satan.

"Bring Pierce to me. I want to kill him myself!"

Crane's eyes were practically blazing with rage; he couldn't wait to kill this man who had betrayed his family.

"Yes! I'm going right now!"

Upon hearing this, his subordinate turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Krein suddenly called out to him.

"Sir, is there anything else you need?"

His subordinate turned his head and looked at him with some confusion.

"Bring back Crane's wife and children too. Don't they value them the most? I want him to watch his wife and children die right in front of him!"

Klein gritted his teeth and said, his pride forbidding him from allowing anyone to betray him. Since Pierce dared to do this, he would make him know that betraying him would come at a heavy price.

"Yes!"

The subordinate nodded again and then quickly walked out of the villa.

"Pierce, how dare you betray me! Just wait, I'll make you regret making this decision!"

Watching his subordinates' retreating figures, Krein murmured softly, the murderous intent in his words subtly filling the entire room...

.........

Time slipped by quietly, and soon it was evening.

As before, Pierce personally brought Landwind a sumptuous dinner.

"Mr. Lu, please enjoy your meal. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

After placing dinner on the table, Pierce turned to leave.

Although his relationship with Lu Feng has improved somewhat, he still feels extremely uncomfortable being around such a devilish man.

"and many more!"

Lu Feng suddenly remembered something and called out to them.

"Have your wife and children been sent to China?"

"It's already been delivered. They really like it there. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu!"

Pierce responded with a happy smile, perhaps thinking of something that made him happy.

Seeing this, Lu Feng waved his hand:

"That's good. Be careful during this time, and make sure nothing happens!"

"Okay, I'll pay attention!"

After the conversation ended, Pierce left the detention cell.

"Strange, why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?"

Lu Feng frowned, his brain racing, trying to find something he had missed, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with anything.

Looking at the food on the table, his stomach rumbled.

"Never mind, let's eat first. We still need to open the treasure chest later!"

Having said that, he stopped thinking about these messy things and buried himself in his food.

At the same time, Pierce drove away from the police station.

The car drove along the road as usual, and the scenery on the street rushed past.

Normally, he would drive slowly, enjoying the scenery along the street to relieve his fatigue from commuting.

But for some reason, he felt a sudden panic in his heart today, as if something bad was about to happen.

Under the influence of this emotion, he had no interest in appreciating the scenery outside and only wanted to rush home.

What would normally be a half-hour drive was reduced to less than twenty minutes thanks to his continuous acceleration.

As he got out of the car, he saw that the house was completely dark, without a single ray of light. His heart tightened to the extreme, and his unease became increasingly apparent.

"Crack!"

Pierce carefully drew the pistol from his waist and tiptoed slowly toward the house.

However, instead of going through the main gate, he chose to climb in through the back window.

Thanks to his familiarity with the layout of the house, he opened the window and easily made his way into the living room on the first floor.

It was pitch black all around, with almost no visibility, but he still carefully checked everything.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Pierce finally relaxed and reached out to turn on the living room light.

"Looks like I was overthinking it!"

He placed the pistol on the table and was about to go to the refrigerator to get a can of beer to quench his thirst when he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that there seemed to be a shadow at the top of the stairs.

A chill instantly ran through his body. He instinctively reached for the pistol on the table, but before he could move, he heard a cold, emotionless voice behind him:

“Mr. Pierce, stop resisting and come with me obediently!”

The figure walked over and casually picked up the pistol from the dining table.

"It's you!"

At that moment, Pierce recognized the person who had come, and the thought of resistance that had just arisen in his heart vanished instantly.

He recognized the man; he was Krein's top henchman, who was said to have been an elite instructor in a special forces unit of the US government, but had become an assassin because he was broke.

He had committed many serious crimes, and the FBL had tried to arrest him multiple times without success. In the end, for reasons unknown, he joined the Krein family and used the power of the Evan family to change his identity.

He has accompanied Klein in battles across the country for so many years, and his hands are covered with blood.

Faced with such a terrifying figure, he had no confidence whatsoever that he could escape from the other party.

"What are you doing here?"

Despite having guessed the other party's purpose in coming here, Pierce still held onto a sliver of hope.

"Don't ask so many questions, Mr. Pierce. Just come with me. We've known each other for a long time. Let's not get to the point of fighting!"
