"Quick, quick, quick! They're handing out eggs over there! And they're free!"

The religious belief of the Chinese people: Go to the house that gives out eggs today.

Han Ze'an glanced in the direction of the auction, and spoke to the many people around him while holding the eggs in his hand.

"Free eggs?!"

"real or fake?!"

"It's true! I just got a tray too! There are 30 in a tray!"

"Let's go, let's go, we'll come back to buy things later."

With Han Ze'an's 'emergency evacuation' plan implemented, not only shoppers and vendors near the auction, but also some tourists were drawn toward the entrance of the black market.

Han Ze'an was worried about a stampede at the entrance, so after hesitating for a moment, he still took the eggs and went to the black market entrance to check the situation.

Less than half an hour until the auction begins.

Han Ze'an took out all the cash he had and went to a stall that sold animal pelts and eggs to buy all the stock. Then he asked three friends he knew to line up at the entrance of the black market to give away eggs.

The delivery hasn't actually started yet, but the line is already formed, which makes the law enforcement officers patrolling the area tonight a little nervous.

Tang Lian released the safety on his gun, grinned at the group, and said, "Sending eggs? That's quite something. These three are suspicious. I wonder what will happen tonight."

Zhou Qiyuan pursed his lips and glanced at his colleague out of the corner of his eye.

Zhou Qiyuan was still bothered by the incident two days ago when his colleague almost harmed his younger sister, Zhou Qiqi, while patrolling and killing the strange beast.

Tang Lian noticed Zhou Qiyuan's significant mood swings, but he didn't seem to care much. However, he still said in a cheeky tone, "Oh dear, I almost forgot, our young master Zhou is here specifically tonight to keep things in order. No matter how troublesome the situation, with young master Zhou's high-level skills, even the most difficult person can be easily dealt with!"

Wu Fang, standing next to her, frowned deeply and said, "Captain Tang, our patrol time has begun. Let's part ways here."

Tang Lian chuckled and waved, "Ah~ take your time. Young Master Zhou, be careful. If anything happens, I can't bear the blame from your Zhou family. Don't try to be a hero. Even for the sake of us little people, you need to protect yourself!"

After saying that, he led his two men away.

A panting intern law enforcement officer ran over and glanced at Wu Fang and Zhou Qiyuan, whose faces did not look too good.

"Captain, I just checked, and it turns out the people distributing the eggs made some extra money, so they gave away a few hundred yuan worth of eggs for free to the people here. They've been involved in the black market for a long time..."

"Sister Wu, Captain Tang has left?"

Wu Fang said irritably, "Yeah, he's gone. That guy was punished the day before yesterday with a written self-criticism and a month's salary, and he's even more fond of targeting our captain than before."

Zhou Qiyuan didn't want to hear any discussion about Tang Lian, so he said to his two teammates, "Let's go, we should also go on patrol. Keep an eye out for us. If we encounter any disputes between ordinary people, we are not allowed to use our guns. But if the argument gets too heated, we must draw our guns immediately."

Wu and Fang nodded: "Understood, Captain!"

After a pause, Zhou Qiyuan, his face grim, led them to the side and continued, "Even the law enforcement agency has to be careful here. Bloodshed happens frequently in places like this."

Wu Fang's young male colleague asked curiously, "Captain, this is the capital, not some other city. There shouldn't be any gang conflicts here, right?"

Wu Fang knew that Zhou Qiyuan had been busy with various matters these past two days and was extremely tired.

She thoughtfully explained to the team leader, "This is a black market, so we can't let our guard down. Because it's a trading market, criminals use the crowds to cover up various transactions. Smuggled goods are sent out together with normal goods, and then gradually transported onto trucks for sale. Some things are beyond our control; there are specialized investigation departments to handle them. What we need to do is deal with any disturbances promptly."

The male colleague next to him immediately understood.

Although this is a black market controlled by higher authorities, because it is a black market, many goods are delivered here by vendors without strict inspection. Some things cannot be traded in the open, so it is much safer to send them to this bustling black market for trading first, and then load them onto trucks and take them away, than to conduct the transaction in some quiet place. Here, everyone is hesitant to act rashly.

Perhaps many of the clandestine deals here are supported by those above.

Otherwise, how could certain weapons and official medicines be circulating everywhere?

As I was pondering, a loud rumbling sound came from the direction of the auction.

"Something's happened!" Zhou Qiyuan called out to his teammates, "Quickly contact headquarters, you guys go and evacuate the vendors and the crowd! I'll go check it out first!"

Without saying a word, Zhou Qiyuan activated his high-level beast bead and instantly appeared outside the factory warehouse where the auction was being held.

Seeing the commotion between the two sides, his eyes gleamed. Remembering that he was just a law enforcement officer, not a detective captain, he immediately rushed in to rescue the people first.

As soon as he rushed in, he saw Qin Ye, Zhi Xiuwen, Ning Xueting, and Mr. Wang covering their noses.

Ning Xueting grabbed Qin Ye with a miserable expression, wailing, "Young Master Qin, my sheet music! The auction for my sheet music hasn't ended yet! What if they steal my sheet music?!"

Uncle Wei frowned and gently pushed Ning Xueting away: "Miss Ning, don't worry, the investigation team should be here soon."

Mr. Wang offered a perfunctory reassurance: "Xueting, don't worry. Let's escape first!"

Ning Xueting gave Qin Ye and Uncle Wei a reproachful look, then obediently followed Mr. Wang: "Okay, teacher."

Qin Ye followed Uncle Wei and saw Zhou Qiyuan: "Brother Qiyuan!"

Zhou Qiyuan nodded, clearing a path through the doorway, and directed everyone: "Get out! Get out now! Don't linger here! Everyone run outside! Don't push anyone!"

He raised his pistol, looking for suspicious individuals.

A strange sense of crisis swept over him, and Zhou Qiyuan quickly followed the small group of people outside.

Whoosh! Whizzing!

Several blades of light refracted through the silvery water and pierced directly towards Mr. Wang and Ning Xueting. Even Gandhi, who had just covered his head with a hood in the distance, was not spared.

Gandhi was terrified and immediately rolled on the ground to avoid the attack.

Mr. Wang had become quite sluggish due to a lack of training over a long period of time. The flying knife pierced his left eye socket, going straight through, and he fell straight down.

Ning Xueting was fleeing with the panicked crowd when she stumbled and a small knife, thrown from who-knows-where, pierced her shoulder.

Ning Xueting let out a scream.

Zhou Qiyuan rushed over immediately, his gun pressed against his waist, and a rapier as long as his arm appeared, knocking away the dagger that flew towards Ning Xueting.

As for Gandhi, the situation was urgent, and the assassination was carried out quickly, so he couldn't afford to worry about it anymore.

Gandhi clutched his neck, which had just been stabbed from a tricky angle, and was still trying to pull out the beast bead. He stumbled and fled towards the auction factory warehouse, but was stabbed in vital areas by a series of handleless blades.

He could only stare with resentment in his eyes as he fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

Zhou Qiyuan spotted the attacker's direction and was about to grab him when Ning Xueting grabbed his clothes.

Seeing Mr. Wang dead beside her, Ning Xueting was terrified. She saw Qin Ye being escorted away by Uncle Wei, and Zhi Xiuwen running away in a flash.

She could only cling tightly to Zhou Qiyuan, who had saved her: "Young Master Zhou! Young Master Zhou! Please save me! Someone is trying to kill me!"

Zhou Qiyuan knew the situation was critical and he had to act quickly.

The loud explosions and constant gunfire coming from nearby indicated that the battle situation over there was far more dangerous than here.

Zhou Qiyuan grabbed the person and teleported to Zhi Xiuwen's side.

After grabbing Zhi Xiuwen, Zhou Qiyuan shoved Ning Xueting over, saying, "This is your classmate, protect her!"

After saying that, he went to track down the suspicious attacker.

Logically, he possesses the 'Black Stone Jade Bee,' a top-grade beast bead that allows him to instantly teleport to the target's location and capture them when its energy is activated.

However, when Zhou Qiyuan appeared at the location, he found it to be deserted.

"Is he a top-tier assassin? But... why did he miss just now?"

it's wired.

Zhou Qiyuan didn't understand why the other party had escaped so quickly, but the attack just now had been so bad.

"Ah! My heart! It hurts so much! It hurts so much... Ugh..."

Hearing Ning Xueting's scream, Zhou Qiyuan turned his head to look back.

Ning Xueting, who was being pulled away by Zhi Xiuwen with a look of disgust, had turned pale and her lips were turning black, clearly indicating that she had been poisoned.

Ning Xueting's abdomen bulged unnaturally, and a surge of battle core energy suddenly emanated from her abdomen, causing Ning Xueting's limbs to twitch involuntarily, and she fell heavily onto the muddy ground as if she had been paralyzed.

She opened her eyes wide in pain, saliva constantly dribbling from the corner of her mouth as she screamed in agony.

Zhi Xiuwen and his henchmen retreated repeatedly.

"Zhi Shao? What happened to her?!"

"It seems that the core of his battle sea has been crippled by the poison of the alien beast."

Zhi Xiuwen dared not approach; he watched as Ning Xueting, her shoulder stained with blood, convulsed on the ground.

He dared not check on or help the person up, fearing that he would be contaminated by the venom of the strange beast on Ning Xueting's body.
