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

Hearing him say that, Long Aotian naturally agreed.

Although he killed Xi'er's grandfather, making Long Aotian wish he could kill him himself.

But he can't do that, otherwise he'll become a murderer too.

He has committed a capital offense, and the law will punish him accordingly.

He didn't need to rush, and in Long Aotian's eyes, he also had some other uses.

As Lin Boguang's subordinate, if he wanted to release someone, he would first have to get Lin Boguang's approval, and then Luo Qianxun's approval.

After all, this case is not small; it has already alarmed the Huayi Mansion and Jingcheng. If the higher-ups come to investigate and find out that they took the suspect out, it will be difficult to explain.

However, Long Aotian didn't care about any of that. As the strongest working man in the 21st century, he knew that rules are rigid, but people are flexible.

Going to work is just wasting your life; only the money you earn by slacking off is truly yours!

So he used Dong Fuguang's waist token to have the brothers in charge of guarding the Black Prison release the man directly.

This is a risky move. If Ah Gou can be persuaded to speak, Lin Boguang will be truly finished!

Long Aotian already knew perfectly well who was helping Li Tongzhi in this town's night watchman's office.

He recalled the day his courtyard was attacked, because Lin Boguang had transferred away the Zhenye Division personnel responsible for protecting his home.

If he hadn't already planned things out with Dongfu Guangpan, the situation that night would probably have been extremely dangerous!

What Long Aotian didn't expect was that his conversation with Ah Gou had been overheard...

……

Long Aotian, with Ah Gou, quietly left the Zhenye Division and led him all the way to the grave where he had already buried his sister.

It was a cemetery on a mountain near their original village, where people from their village would be buried when they passed away.

Located halfway up the mountain, this place is picturesque, with clear waters, lush mountains, and fragrant flowers. Being buried here after death would be quite nice.

"These are things from her remains, I'm returning them to you." Long Aotian took out a handkerchief, inside which was carefully wrapped a jade pendant.

When Ah Gou saw the jade pendant, he burst into tears, because it was a family heirloom that had disappeared along with his sister.

"Lord Shen, thank you very much..."

"No need to thank me, it's nothing." Long Aotian smiled, trying to win people over.

Actually, he found this jade pendant among the stolen items from Prefect Liu's residence.

It was originally discovered by people from their village when they were robbing the prefectural government.

I originally intended to return it to Ah Gou, but unfortunately, that guy suddenly became greedy and decided to keep it for himself.

As for Ah Gou's sister's remains, he actually did not find them.

However, he did search seriously, but after so many years, the chances of finding it were extremely slim.

"Alright, I've returned your things to you." Long Aotian looked at him and said, "I've also let you see your sister. Now, shouldn't you help me?"

"Okay, actually..."

Just as Ah Gou was about to reveal the clue, a sudden "whoosh" came from not far away, and a hidden weapon flashing with cold light flew towards the two of them!

The hidden weapon was originally aimed at Long Aotian, but a figure suddenly appeared halfway through and intercepted it with a "clang".

A figure dressed in a red, fitted robe appeared. Luo Hongyan held a horizontal saber, its blade pointed directly at the thief not far away, and said, "Well, I've finally caught you! Don't run away!"

The man was terrified when he saw the red goose appear, and ran away without looking back.

Luo Hongyan was, after all, a second-rank martial artist. She leaped and rolled to catch up, and the two instantly engaged in combat.

The horizontal sword in her hand was very sharp. With a flip and a roll, she knocked the dagger out of her opponent's hand and kicked him to the ground!

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"Ok?"

The masked man lying on the ground sounded very familiar, so Luo Hongyan quickly stepped forward and removed his mask.

"Liu San? How could it be you?!" Upon seeing that it was actually a fellow member of the Zhenye Division, Luo Hongyan's face was filled with surprise.

But he immediately placed the blade against Liu San's neck and demanded, "You brat, you're following Lord Shen with ill intentions? What exactly do you want to do?!"

"I...I was just confused for a moment!" Liu San looked at Luo Hongyan and quickly said, "Someone paid me to take Lord Shen's life..."

"Hongyan, forget about that guy for now, Agou is dying!" Long Aotian, who was standing to the side, was shocked to see Agou suddenly clutching his stomach and collapsing to the ground.

He searched Ah Gou's body carefully and unexpectedly found a thin silver needle on his back.

If one hadn't been paying attention, one would probably have missed something so thin and long.

"This, this is a clue, Lord Shen, please keep it safe..." Ah Gou coughed up blood, grabbed Long Aotian's hand with one hand, made him open his palm, and then wrote and drew on his palm with the other hand...

Then, without waiting to see if Long Aotian understood what he meant, he simply stopped breathing completely...

"You bastard, why did you do this?" Long Aotian was furious. He walked up to Liu San aggressively and punched him without hesitation!

"Lord Shen, this is really not my fault." Lying on the ground, he shamelessly said, "The price offered by others is just too high. As long as I can kill you here, I can live a life of ease for the rest of my days!"

Long Aotian never expected that the person who usually seemed to have almost no presence and was such an opportunist would now want to kill him.

However, he wasn't stupid. At this critical juncture, taking action against himself would only bring harm and no benefit.

Who will make the bid?

"I don't know," Liu San replied stiffly. "I just saw that killing you would get me money, so I came."

"You're talking." Long Aotian grabbed his neck and said viciously, "Don't think I don't know your real purpose. It's to kill him, isn't it?" He pointed to Ah Gou, who was lying dead to the side.

"Hehe, I told you, I don't know." Liu San was being trampled on the ground by Luo Hongyan, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Fine, you don't know, do you?" Long Aotian said, turning around to take a deep breath, then turning back around and kicking him hard!

But Liu San still refused to say anything, so Long Aotian beat him up. He was exhausted by the end, but Liu San, who was usually weak, was very tough today and didn't say a word.

Fearing that the fight might continue and someone would die, Luo Hongyan promptly stopped Long Aotian and planned to take Agou's body and him back to the Zhenye Division first.

His original plan was to lock Liu San in a black jail, thinking that he would eventually talk out.

Unexpectedly, this played right into Liu San's hands...
