A group of people dressed up as Conan characters, and I guaranteed the Black Team's advancement

At first, no matter how loud the noise outside the villa was, it couldn't penetrate the basement where Matsuda Jinpei was. He was locked up there, and even though his guards had been moved to the upper floor, he didn't notice. Because Matsuda Jinpei had reached his limit, he was only managing to force himself to stay trapped in his own thoughts with sheer willpower.

But as Rum's men in the villa were dealt with one by one by the group members, the Paw Patrol was released to search. These dogs had each sniffed things that smelled like Matsuda Jinpei, and they scattered in every corner of the villa, running around looking for targets with the same scent.

Matsuda Jinpei was in a daze, and in his hazy state, he seemed to hear a commotion coming from a great distance. Human voices and barking dogs mingled together, buzzing and growing clearer.

Matsuda Jinpei was awakened by a slightly cool touch; someone was gently patting his face. He slowly opened his eyes, his vision blurry, but he gradually made out the silver-haired face.

A large crowd had already gathered on the basement level. Jiang Jin half-squatted in front of him, gently patting his face with his gloved hand. Matsuda Jinpei looked terrible, covered in bruises, even worse than when they first met at the back door of the nightclub. He had bluish stubble on his chin, and his dark blue eyes were bloodshot; it was clear at a glance how bad his condition was.

"It's not bad that the person can still open their eyes," Kawano Kiri said from the side. Jiang Jin breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's get the person out of here first."

However, the instant Jiang Jin finished speaking, he was suddenly tackled to the ground by a force. Jiang Jin was somewhat taken aback; the person who tackled him was none other than Matsuda Jinpei. He had never expected that Matsuda Jinpei could still possess such strength in this state, and even launch an attack.

Matsuda Jinpei pressed down on Jiang Jin, his bloodshot eyes peeking out from his hair. His voice was hoarse, filled with anger and agitation: "Amamiya! What are you doing here? Can't you see this is a trap?"

Given Matsuda Jinpei's current condition, it wouldn't be a problem for Jiang Jin to push him away, but if he did, it would likely worsen Matsuda Jinpei's already injured body.

Matsuda Jinpei was naturally unaware of the current situation. He was just barely able to support his already exhausted body as he pressed down on Jiang Jin. He looked aggressive, but in reality, he had no deterrent effect on Jiang Jin.

"You always say you cherish your life, then you should just consider me dead. Coming here to walk right into a trap is incredibly stupid!" Matsuda Jinpei cursed fiercely, not giving Jiang Jin a chance to breathe.

Jiang Jin glanced at the people around him and was speechless to see that his family members all had amused expressions on their faces. He didn't think Matsuda Jinpei's current state was suitable for him to explain, so he simply chopped him in the neck.

Matsuda Jinpei naturally couldn't take it and collapsed. Jiang Jin sat up and caught him, glancing at Kawano Ki and the others: "Look, look, all you do is watch the show. You didn't even help out."

Kawano Ki chuckled: "Ouch, I'm strong. Matsuda is already covered in bruises. You've hurt her a second time."

Mingyuan, holding the dog's leash, said, "My hands are already occupied, it's inconvenient."

"I see you're enjoying yourself, so I didn't want to disturb you." Of all the people, Qiushan Yuying had the most venomous tongue, and Jiang Jin rolled her eyes at her in anger.

Matsuda Jinpei was helped out by his group members, while Jiang Jin dusted himself off and stood up. As he exited from the basement, he saw Binga: "Why didn't you get in the car?"

Binga withdrew his gaze from Matsuda Jinpei being carried away and turned to Jiang Jin, saying sarcastically, "You really do have connections with this policeman."

"Watch your mouth. What do you mean by 'collusion'? Besides, he's not a cop anymore." Jiang Jin crossed his arms and glanced at him, saying calmly, "Furthermore, he's just a low-ranking cop with no connections and no official position. He gets framed by his own people while investigating a case. What good would it do me to collude with him?"

Binga remained noncommittal, then suddenly asked, "Wait, how did you find this place?"

Jiang Jin smiled smugly: "That's a trade secret, I can't disclose it."

The delivery team members casually got into their car with their dogs, even closing the doors in perfect unison.

Jiang Jin looked at the house that was already engulfed in flames through his sunglasses, showing no fear of "arsonists facing life imprisonment." He simply honked the horn three times and then turned the car around and drove away.

The other cars followed closely behind, and the group walked away in a carefree manner.

Curaçao naturally learned of these actions, but it was too late. She knew Rum's plan had failed the moment she received that phone call.

All of Rum's plans were based on the premise that Jiang Jin would never be able to find Matsuda Jinpei and that Jiang Jin would not have enough manpower to rescue people.

Curaçao was also surprised by the exposure of the stronghold's location; everyone in the organization knew how cautious Rum was. Curaçao also didn't believe Jiang Jin could easily find the true location of the stronghold.

The only loophole she could think of was Binga, but before she left, Binga had already been placed under guard, and it was confirmed that he did not have any tracking devices on him.

The deed was done, and dwelling on it was pointless. Upon learning of the attack on the outpost, Curaçao immediately contacted Rum. However, to her dismay, Rum's phone went unanswered.

Curaçao, unable to receive direct orders, was also helpless. She could only lead a portion of her men to the stronghold, but she knew that Duago could not stay there.

By the time she arrives, the place will probably be deserted.

Rum's failure to answer the phone in time was thanks to Gen Sōsuke at the sushi restaurant and his friends who were responsible for cooperating with the performance. Couples arguing, poisoning, customers causing trouble, and a car accident—even the resourceful old Rum couldn't escape such a chaotic situation.

The tactic of defeating a master with a flurry of punches is most effective for a clever person; all schemes and tricks are ineffective against a true con artist's skill in staging an accident.

When Rum emerged from the police station, exhausted, he received another call from Curaçao, informing him that his base had been burned down and the hostages were gone.

Rum immediately realized what was going on with today's unusual farce. He was naturally furious, but before he could give any more orders, news arrived that he was to return to the organization's base.

News of Duyago's attack on Rum's stronghold and the burning of his house spread rapidly throughout the organization's intranet. All members with access to the intranet naturally saw it, with countless people reacting with surprise or simply watching the spectacle.

Of course, Jiang Jin deliberately spread this news. Not only that, he also had Ono Shi write an extremely eye-catching article, which Wu Yu then posted on several hacked accounts.

A war correspondent can easily write extremely sensational articles.

Headlines like "Shocking! The organization's second-in-command Rum actually..." or "Look closely, this guy is called Old Rum"—the more sensational the title, the more melodramatic the content.

After all, it's human nature to gossip, regardless of nationality. So in the end, no one was discussing why Jiang Jin raided Rum's stronghold; instead, they were discussing whether Rum had illegitimate children and whether he was a pervert.

Of course, these sensational articles won't do any harm to Rum; at most, his reputation will suffer. It's just that Jiang Jin wants to annoy Rum.

Rum nearly threw his phone away after reading it, while Curaçao cursed his bad luck, thinking that if he had protected Binga more, he wouldn't be sitting here enduring all this.

"So what if he rescued the person using these underhanded tactics? Ridiculous! Let's see what other tricks Duyago can come up with!"
