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

Feng Zongqi said with difficulty, "Your Excellency, the brothel owner is my brother-in-law, my child's uncle, my wife's younger brother, and he is also my family. How can I possibly do this to him?"

Commander Yun spread his hands and said helplessly, "Commander, the person in charge of the warehouse is my father. You can't expect me to kill my father with my own hands, can you? He's my father! My father! How could I dare to do that?"

"Commander, things aren't serious enough to warrant silencing them. At worst, Lao Feng and I can send them out of the city—Yunmeng City, Yelang City, Nanzhao City, any city will do. Once they're gone, they won't be traced."

The Lu Sifu understood their difficulties, but they could not be lenient: "You are usually ruthless and cold-blooded, so why do you become so emotional when your relatives are involved?"

"We're doing something that will get us killed and our whole families wiped out. You think you can just get rid of them and be done with it? That we won't be able to find out anything? Only the dead can keep secrets forever. You're not unaware of this, you're just hoping to get away with it!"

"I'm giving you a serious warning: either two of us will die, or we'll all stick together and die together."

Upon hearing this, Commander Feng was extremely conflicted, scratching his head and jumping up and down in a panic. Finally, he looked up at Commander Yun, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he said, "Old Yun, I'll give you 500,000 coins. You help me kill my brother-in-law!"

"Huh?" Yun Zongqi, who was drinking, was shocked. He couldn't help but spit out his drink and glared at the enemy, saying, "Are you crazy? Is this about money? I'll give you a million dollars, and you'll kill my old man for me!"

Seeing this, Commander Feng went crazy. He grabbed his head and looked at the Lu Si Mansion. He excitedly stretched out his hand and said, "Lord, I'll give you a million coins. Please help me kill my brother-in-law. I'll be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

The Lu Sifu remained silent; how could they possibly agree? No amount of money could persuade them.

Only they themselves could end the life of their loved ones.

When outsiders interfere, whether with good intentions or malice, they will inevitably end up turning against each other.

Feng Zongqi scratched his head and said, "Damn it, if we can't kill Zhou Qingfeng, can't we kill Xi Laide? If we kill Xi Laide to silence him, we can protect my brother-in-law. Haha, I'm so smart!"

Commander Yun looked at Commander Feng strangely. Although it was a foolish suggestion, compared to his dead father, this foolish plan was not unacceptable: "Commander, do you think it's feasible?"

Lu Sifu sighed inwardly. He could understand Feng Zongqi and Yun Zongqi. Even if they were beasts, they would not be willing to kill their beloved relatives with their own hands. Even if they were forced to do it, they would still feel resentment.

We are all on the same boat now, and I am the helmsman, in charge of the overall situation. Whether I like it or not, I must unite them and absolutely cannot cause conflicts at critical moments, otherwise the ship will sink and everyone will perish in the blink of an eye.

Sometimes you just have no choice.

There was a foolproof way out, yet they chose the most foolish one.

The Night Wanderer's Division has five small flags, all of whom are cultivators at the Calamity-Eating Realm.

Dozens of black-clad warriors at the Turbidity Realm were merely the showpieces. Feng and Yun, on the other hand, were already cultivators at the Fiend Realm. For them, infiltrating the Night Wanderer Bureau and assassinating a criminal was as easy as taking candy from a baby.

But what happens next? The matter won't end there; instead, it will only escalate further.

In a major case involving the mass disappearance and kidnapping, a key suspect was assassinated in the Night Wanderer's Office.

This is a fucking slap in the face to the city lord, a challenge to his authority!

How could the city lord allow such a powerful figure to exist in Sword Tower City?

It's a minor matter that everyone in the Night Patrol Division will be punished.

It's obvious to anyone that the city lord would be furious upon hearing the news and personally intervene to investigate the matter. No one involved in the case would be able to escape unscathed.

Geese leave traces as they fly by, and the wind leaves its sound as it passes. Who dares to say that they have done things flawlessly? The city lord has mobilized all the city's resources and manpower to investigate. It's only a matter of time before he finds out.

At that time, I will completely lose control of the situation and become a fish on the chopping block.

Thinking of this, Lu Sifu felt a bitter taste in his mouth: "Alright, don't do anything stupid. It's better to send your loved ones away than to have you assassinate Xilaid."

"Commander Feng, send a message to Xilaide. I'm not telling him to keep quiet, but to hold out for a few more days. Every day you can delay is a day. Don't speak up so soon."

“Since Xilaid is doomed anyway, tell him that for every day he delays, give his family an extra 100,000 yuan.”

"The time he bought you should be enough for you to send the person far away."

Feng Zongqi's face lit up with joy: "The commander's thinking is thorough. We will do as the commander says."

Lu Sifu sighed: "Alas, you have safely sent your brother-in-law away, but you still cannot escape suspicion. After all, he is your relative, and you cannot escape responsibility."

"In order to prevent the situation from escalating, I'm afraid I'll have to be ruthless with you. You'd better be prepared."

Feng Zongqi's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No problem, I can handle it."

Seeing this, Commander Yun said, "I can handle it too. The commander can punish me as he sees fit. As long as we get through this, the wind will still be the wind, the clouds will still be the clouds, the road will still be the road, we can still sing and dance. Suffering a little is nothing."

Lu Sifu nodded slightly, picked up the blood bowl, and watched the minced garlic boil and bubble in the vampire's blood, just like the gradually boiling and out-of-control situation, which made him feel increasingly powerless.

He drank the blood mixed with minced garlic in one gulp, carefully savoring the sensation of the blood boiling under the burning garlic, like countless tiny, lively people jumping on his taste buds, and then... bursting open.

Commander Yun tentatively asked, "Commander, when should we make our move? We've collected almost all the evidence."

Lu Sifu glanced at her indifferently, then put down his teacup: "Wait, the time is not yet right."

Yun Zongqi and Feng Zongqi exchanged a glance, not understanding what this timing meant.

The situation is critical, and it has already affected their own family members.

If we don’t take action now, when will we take action?

"You may leave. I need some peace and quiet." Lu Sifu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and left the secret room.

Seeing this, Chief Yun and Chief Feng left silently, but they were already dissatisfied. If they anonymously reported the evidence in their hands to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Qingfeng and the others would definitely be in danger and unable to continue their investigation.

However, the Lu Si Mansion remained silent, and they could not understand the Lu Si Mansion's thoughts.

Because their perspectives were dictated by their own circumstances, Feng and Yun were only concerned with the safety of their loved ones and themselves.

However, Lu Sifu was different. He needed to keep his position as the head of the department, regain the city lord's trust, and incidentally, subtly drive Zhou Qingfeng and his group out of the Night Wanderer's Department.

To achieve three goals at once, you must be patient.

Under no circumstances should they show any sign of opposing Zhou Qingfeng and the others in front of the city lord. In fact, they should act extremely cooperative and show the city lord through their actions that they are loyal and have no complaints even if they are stripped of their power.

Once Zhou Qingfeng and his two companions have committed enough offenses and gathered enough evidence, they can anonymously submit the evidence to the City Lord's Mansion on a calm and uneventful day. Then, Zhou Qingfeng and his companions will naturally be sent back to the mansion to be punished.

At this point, the city lord will remember his good deeds, his abilities, and his loyal performance. He will trust him again and will not send his servants to the Night Patrol Office again.

This is the complete plan in Lu Sifu's mind, and it is also his only way out.
