Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

In the private residence of the Lu Si family, within a secret underground chamber, a vampire, its limbs bound by chains as thick as an arm and iron hooks piercing its collarbone, desperately let out a terrifying howl: "Awooo~~~"

Lu Sifu, dressed in a magnificent purple robe, held a wine pot in his left hand. His fingernails, sharp as knives, easily sliced ​​open the vampire's wrist, and blood dripped into the wine pot: "Commander Feng, Commander Yun, do you know what this is?"

Feng Zongqi and Yun Zongqi sat around the round table, exchanged a glance, and said, "Judging from its appearance, could it be a zombie?"

"Hehehe... No, that's not it." Lu Sifu carried a wine jug full of blood, walked out of the prison cell, casually closed the prison door, walked to the round table and sat down, pouring a cup of blood for each of the two captains, Feng and Yun.

"Legend has it that in the Tiger Might Ridge, which stretches for eight hundred miles, there is a strange and ghostly creature called the Vampire."

"It has the appearance of a human, red eyes and fangs, hides during the day and comes out at night, and likes to eat human blood."

"Eating it can prolong life."

"This is a vampire that Young Master Ma bravely captured in Tiger Might Ridge. It is a turbid-level ghost and is specially given to me. You two are getting old, so why not drink some to replenish your declining lifespan?"

Commander Feng was full of surprise. He picked up the blood bowl and took a sip: "Holy crap, this is good stuff! Just one sip feels like my lifespan has increased by a year. This humble servant thanks the Commander for bestowing blood upon me."

Upon hearing this, Commander Yun poured the blood into the wine gourd, shook it, and said, "Old Feng, good things should be mixed with fine wine. Drinking it dry like this is just a waste."

Feng Zongqi glared and said, "I'm willing, what's it to you?"

Lu Sifu chuckled as he poured himself a bowl of blood, sprinkled some minced garlic into it, squinted, took a sip, and said, "This kind of ghost is a rare raw material. After processing, it can be used to refine longevity pills."

"However, once refined into pills, the original flavor of the ingredients is lost."

"Drinking freshly cut food without any processing preserves the original, fresh flavor of the ingredients."

"If you add a little bit of garlic, wow, that would be a really unique flavor."

Feng Zongqi quickly flattered him: "Yes, yes, that's it. It's all about the freshness. Lao Yun, you're mixing it with alcohol. You have no idea about good food."

Yun Zongqi's lips twitched: "Shut up, you bullshit about freshness! Why don't you just hug a vampire and gnaw on him!"

Commander Feng pointed at Commander Yun and turned to complain, "Commander, look at him, he actually questioned your taste."

Lu Sifu stared at the two of them speechlessly, sometimes really wanting to punch them to death: "Stop arguing, you two. I called you here to try something new, and also to talk about some serious business."

Upon hearing this, the two captains, Feng and Yun, immediately composed themselves and became serious.

Lu Sifu licked the blood from the corner of his mouth and tapped his fingers on the round table: "Tell me, Commander Feng, I'm waiting for your explanation. How did the Wild Dog Gang get wiped out all of a sudden?"

Feng Zongqi pursed his lips. He knew that Lu Sifu was not really asking him what had happened, but rather blaming him for not being able to move the black-faced man away before sending someone to keep an eye on him, which led to the Wild Dog Gang being wiped out as well.

"My lord, things have come to this point, I have nothing to say but that Heaven is on his side, not on mine."

Lu Sifu frowned slightly: "What's going on? Is there something I don't know?"

Feng Zongqi smiled wryly, "Ye Tingxiu, this guy has unexpectedly ruined our big plan..."

When the time came for Jin Wei to take the portrait and have his men search for the person, the two undercover agents who were keeping watch learned the details and immediately began to search for Blackface in the city. Both sides were anxiously searching for Blackface.

Just then, Ye Tingxiu was patrolling the streets with a group of men to maintain order. He was thinking about comparing his achievements with Zhou Qingfeng's. He stared at passersby every day, and everyone looked like a criminal to him.

"Hey~~~ You two are sneaking around like sly foxes, you can't tell you're good people, stop right there!" Ye Tingxiu watched as two spies with their heads down hurriedly walked past him, then turned around with his knife on his shoulder and shouted at them to stop.

Upon hearing this, the two undercover agents exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with anxiety, yet they dared not show the slightest sign of distress. They could only turn back and feign nonchalance, asking, "Gentlemen, is there anything I can do for you?"

Ye Tingxiu led his men forward and looked the two up and down: "Name, place of origin, where you live, how many people are in your family, what you do for a living, and what is your relationship with me? Tell me quickly!"

The two undercover agents were dumbfounded by the questioning; the investigation was so thorough that they couldn't even come up with a fabricated story.

"Not going to talk? Fine, those who refuse to cooperate with this brigade in carrying out its duties, arrest them all and take them back for proper interrogation."

"Damn it!" The two spies turned and ran.

Ye Tingxiu's eyes lit up immediately, and he drew his sword and roared, "Good! They really are villains! Chase them!"

Time returns to the present.

Feng Zongqi said with a wry smile, "Commander, that's the situation. By the time the spy got rid of Ye Tingxiu, Black Face had already been captured and the Wild Dog Gang had been wiped out. This time, we really had bad luck."

Lu Sifu rubbed his temples, somewhat incredulous: "Just such a coincidence?"

Feng Zongqi said helplessly, "Yes, it's just such a coincidence."

Lu Sifu was still somewhat skeptical. He didn't believe such a coincidence could happen. Rather than believing it was a coincidence, he preferred to believe that a third-party force other than Zhou Qingfeng and his group was secretly plotting against him.

Seeing that the Lu Sifu still suspected there was something fishy about the matter, Commander Yun spoke up at the right moment: "Your Excellency, sometimes there really are such coincidences. You should know that planning is up to man, but success is up to fate. Many times, what you lack is just this kind of luck."

Lu Sifu remained silent for a moment, then sighed deeply, "Alas, luck... Oh well, what's done is done, further investigation won't change the facts, let's think about what to do next."

Upon hearing this, Commander Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If the Lu Si Mansion were to blame him, he would probably be severely punished, if not killed. So he quickly changed the subject: "This time, Zhou Qingfeng acted arrogantly and was eager to make a name for himself. He actually fabricated a search warrant."

"This is a serious crime that can result in dismissal from office at best, and execution at worst."

"With such evidence in our hands, Zhou Qingfeng is like a grasshopper in autumn, he won't be able to jump for many more days."

Lu Sifu glanced at him but didn't respond at all, simply saying, "How many members of the Wild Dog Gang know you exist?"

Feng Zongqi quickly said, "Nobody knows, but the Wild Dog Gang leader, Xi Laide, knows that someone in the Night Wanderer Division is protecting him, but he doesn't know it's me, and he has never seen me before."

"These people don't actually know much; they're just a group of the lowest-level 'fishermen.'"

“I have always been indirectly controlling them through the meat processing workshop owner.”

"The problem is that once Xilaid is arrested, no matter how stubborn he is, he can only delay for a while. Then the owner of the meat processing plant will definitely be exposed, and then the warehouse will be exposed as well. In the end, Lao Yun and I will both be exposed."

Lu Sifu nodded: "Cut off what needs to be cut off, and silence those who need to be silenced."

Upon hearing this, Feng Zongqi pursed his lips and lowered his head.

Yun Zongqi also fell into a surprising silence, showing no sign of cynicism whatsoever.

Lu Sifu looked at them, his eyes growing cold: "You can't bear to part with him?"
