Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

Long Aotian threw his head back and laughed heartily, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Beichuan, there's no need for us to be so cautious with each other. Just say what you have to say! Besides, your guess is pretty good! I also think it's very likely that this was a group crime."

"Really? Thank you, sir!" Jiang Beichuan was very happy to receive confirmation.

But after a short while, he said with a worried look, "But sir, based on this guess alone, we still can't catch the thief. And... if it's a gang crime, wouldn't it be even harder for us to catch the thief..."

Long Aotian smiled slightly and said confidently, "Who said we only have one clue? Your boss racked his brains last night and finally found a clue!"

"Really? What clue?!"

"Um... does our Zhenye Division have a map of Qianzhou City? The more detailed the better," Long Aotian said.

“The Zhenye Division is the place that maintains peace in this area, of course we have it.” Jiang Beichuan said, “Please wait here for a moment, sir, I will go and get it for you right away!” After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Long Aotian remained in the courtyard, waiting for Jiang Beichuan to retrieve the map.

But at that very moment, a figure dressed in plain white robes strode into the courtyard outside the gate of the Night Town.

"Hey, who are you?" At the door, Liu San, who was in charge of guarding the gate, stopped the figure.

"I..." The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "My things have been stolen. Please send someone to help me get them back..."

Before the man could finish speaking, Liu San, the gatekeeper, interrupted him with a disdainful look: "What are you shouting about? Can't you see what time it is? The Chief Inspector hasn't arrived at the office to take his duty yet. If you want to report a case, come back after noon!"

"Go away, get out of the way! Don't you know any manners?" Liu San immediately tried to shoo her away, rudely pushing the girl.

"Hey, you..."

"Hey, stop it!"

At this moment, Long Aotian couldn't stand it any longer and immediately stopped Liu San.

"Our Zhenye Division is a place to serve the people. How can you treat someone who needs help like this?" Long Aotian said righteously, then patted his chest at the anxious girl and said, "Don't worry, girl, I, Long Aotian, will definitely find your things!"

"Thank you, sir..." The girl bowed slightly to Lin Chuan.

"It's nothing, it's a small matter."

I didn't realize until I got closer that the girl in the plain white dress was really beautiful!

With her large, bright eyes and fair skin, she was dressed simply, but her charming appearance and graceful demeanor made it hard not to feel shy.

"Hey Chief Inspector Shen, you're really going to do anything for performance reviews these days, aren't you?" Liu San was Wen Tao's lackey, and although he was just a low-ranking inspector, he didn't take him seriously.

"I've long heard that Lord Shen is a womanizer, frequently visiting various brothels," Liu San said loudly on purpose. "Miss, you'd better be careful. Otherwise, why don't you wait until this afternoon, after my Lord Wen Tao arrives, before you come? That way you won't get entangled with him!"

Liu San wasn't having a change of heart; he was deliberately ostracizing Long Aotian.

They usually ignore minor things like losing things.

After all, catching these kinds of thieves is not very profitable and is a thankless task.

However, because their current superior, Bai Xun Lin Boguang, wants to deal with Shen Congxin, even if there is no profit to be made, they will still trip him up, steal his performance evaluation, and eventually drive him out of the Zhenye Division!

"Liu San, your mouth is truly vile!"

With a sharp "slap," a crisp and loud slap landed heavily on Liu San's face!

Jiang Beichuan looked furious, holding a map of Qianzhou City in his left hand, and slapping Liu San hard several times with his right hand!

Liu San was also furious and loudly questioned Jiang Beichuan, "We are both junior patrol officers, why did you hit me?"

"On what grounds?" Long Aotian raised his hand, and another slap mark appeared on Liu San's face. "On the grounds that I am the chief inspector and you are just a lowly inspector. You disrespected me, so I can slap you! Is that reason enough?"

Although Wen Tao and Jiang Shou's men usually didn't take Shen Congxin seriously, they didn't dare to really mess with him.

After all, a higher rank can have absolute power, and as long as Shen Congxin remained in the Zhenye Division, they wouldn't dare to do anything out of line.

"Very well, Lord Shen, I, Liu San, will remember what happened today!" Liu San glared at Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan and said, "I will definitely tell Lord Wen everything you did today!"

"Go ahead, go ahead. If your Master Wen doesn't want his nose, then just let him come to me!" Long Aotian seemed completely unconcerned.

He was of course completely unconcerned. He had even planned out his final, desperate path, so why would he be afraid?

Just as Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan had vented their anger and were about to lead the woman in white to search for the lost item, a familiar voice came from behind Liu San.

"Lord Shen is quite the impressive man." A burly man approached from behind, a knife at his waist. "You injured Lord Wen earlier, but Lord Wen was kind and didn't hold it against you. And now you're bragging about it?"

Long Aotian turned his head, looked at the person who had spoken, and said impatiently, "Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to speak here?!"

The man was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked Long Aotian up and down with a suspicious gaze.

"I've also heard that you've been acting strangely lately, Lord Shen. You always seem to be a step behind in remembering familiar people and things. Could you be suffering from hysteria?" the man said with a hint of sarcasm. "How can someone like you help a young lady find her lost item? I think I'll do it for her!"

"I bother!"

At this moment, Long Aotian also successfully remembered who this person was from Shen Congxin's memories.

This man was Zhang Zhong, one of his two former subordinates. Later, because Lin Boguang was targeting him, he went to work under other chief inspectors.

When Zhang Zhong followed Shen Congxin, Shen treated him very well. They were the kind of good brothers who would drink and eat together.

As a result, Lin Boguang started targeting him, and this guy abandoned Shen Congxin without hesitation.

It can be said that, apart from Shen Juanxin, the two people in Qianzhou City who are least qualified to criticize Shen Congxin are his two former subordinates!

"Zhang Zhong, you're a heartless ingrate!" Long Aotian pointed at his nose and cursed, "How did I treat you back then? Didn't I pay off your debts to the brothel? You were just a lowly patrol officer, didn't I treat you to drinks and meat every day?!"

"So what if it is?" Zhang Zhong said with a look of disdain. "Lord Shen, what are you trying to do by bringing up these old stories? Do you think that by saying these things you can create a rift between me and Lord Wen Tao?"
