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

"Lord Shen, we've bought all the steamed buns. Can we go back now?"

"Of course, of course." Long Aotian stood up and smiled slightly. "I, Shen Congxin, would never make things difficult for you brothers. Shall we eat some steamed buns?"

As Long Aotian said this, he handed the steamed buns in his hand to the two of them.

"No, no, we're not hungry," the two quickly waved their hands in polite refusal.

Long Aotian didn't force them, and walked along the road eating as he went.

Back in the courtyard, the two patrol officers from the town's night watchman's office watched him go in before they were relieved.

"My lord, why are you back so soon?"

"What else could it be? They're keeping a close watch on us outside the door." Long Aotian shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

"It's alright, sir. As you said, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear!" Jiang Beichuan was still optimistic. "They will release us after they have investigated the matter thoroughly."

“I’m not worried about investigating this matter.” Long Aotian sat down next to him and handed him the steamed buns he had just bought. “I’m just afraid that those people, just in case, might be desperate and kill us as soon as possible!”

"Chief Inspector Luo, she shouldn't, right?"

“She might not, but what about the person behind her?” Long Aotian frowned. “The Seven Star Grass is to be offered to the current emperor. The fact that they have it now is like a hot potato.”

"We know the whereabouts of the Seven Star Grass, even if we have no designs on it. Do you think the other side would think the same way?" Long Aotian said calmly. "Furthermore, as far as I know, there are already two forces in the Celestial Empire searching for the Seven Star Grass. Even if they aren't afraid that we might want to get our hands on it, aren't they afraid that we'll reveal this information?"

At this moment, in modern society, Long Aotian, who has struggled for half his life, is like a mentor who has a thorough understanding of human nature.

"If that's the case, then aren't we in danger?" Jiang Beichuan looked at Long Aotian, very nervously, and said, "Would they really do something so crazy?!"

"With enough benefits, nothing you do can be considered crazy." Long Aotian looked up at the distant sky and fell silent.

"You mean, why didn't you do as I said and kill Shen Congxin?"

Inside a public hall of the Town Night Guard, a beautiful woman in a red robe with long, flowing hair questioned Luo Hongyan, who was kneeling below:

"Didn't you say it yourself? That guy doesn't know a thing or two!"

"Your Excellency, at that time, I did not find a suitable opportunity..."

Despite her severe injuries, Luo Hongyan endured the excruciating pain, knelt on one knee, clasped her hands in greeting, and said:

"The scene was extremely chaotic. Shen Congxin was still inside the carriage. It would be quite difficult to get past those bandits and deal with him..."

"Those are all excuses!" Inside the government office, the beautiful figure in the red robe now had a ferocious expression on her delicate face. "I think you're the one with ulterior motives!"

"Red Goose dares not!"

"Dare not?" The person gently raised her hand, and a red silk thread flew out from her sleeve and then wrapped around Luo Hongyan's neck.

He pinched his fingers together and pulled back, the red thread tightened instantly, and the fallen red goose flew forward, its body suddenly unable to breathe...

“My lord, I believe Chief Inspector Luo truly didn’t intentionally fail to complete your orders.” Wang Bao, unable to bear it any longer, quickly stepped forward to plead for her. “When I arrived, she had already been poisoned. If I had been any later, she probably wouldn’t have made it back!” With that, Wang Bao also knelt on one knee, clasped his hands, and said, “Please, my lord, investigate thoroughly! Give her another chance!”

Hearing Wang Bao say this, the red thread finally loosened.

That beautiful figure loomed high above them, like a mountain pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.

"Alright, considering Wang Bao pleaded for you, I can give you one more chance. Go to Shen Congxin's house again at midnight tonight and kill his entire family to prevent future troubles!"

When Luo Hongyan heard this, she froze on the spot.

In her heart, didn't she also consider Long Aotian a friend?

Now they're forcing her to kill Long Aotian's entire family. How can she possibly do that?

"What, you're unwilling?" The high and mighty man's expression changed. If he said the wrong thing now, his life would be in danger!

"Of course not, sir," Wang Bao immediately stepped forward and replied, "Chief Inspector Luo will certainly live up to his mission and complete the task you have assigned!"

"Hmph!" The man above scoffed disdainfully, flicking his sleeve and saying, "Suit yourself. If you can't finish it, then come back with your head!"

"Wang Bao, what are you standing there for? Come with me!" As they left the government office, the figure in the red robe called Wang Bao away.

“Hey Hongyan, stop thinking about it. I’ve got two of my trusted men to handle things for you today. Just stay home and recover from your injuries, understand?” Wang Bao leaned down and pressed on Luo Hongyan’s shoulders, saying, “Ye Baixun is furious right now, so you absolutely mustn’t disobey her!”

"Okay, okay," Luo Hongyan waved her hand impatiently.

"Okay, you stay here, I'm leaving." After saying this, Wang Bao turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Wang Bao."

"what happened?"

"Thank you." Luo Hongyan looked at Wang Bao and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"Oh, it's nothing~" Wang Bao waved his hand with a smile, and then followed their superiors, Ye Yan and Ye Baixun, out.

Now, only Luo Hongyan remains in the entire guild hall.

Now, all that comes to mind are the voices and smiles of Long Aotian and Jiang Beichuan.

She didn't choose to become a patrol officer in the Night Watch to kill people...

After some thought, she finally decided to get up...

"I'm innocent, I'm innocent..." In the pitch-black prison, Jiang Shou, who was originally the chief inspector, finally got to experience what it's like to be a prisoner.

With a creak, the gates of the Black Prison slowly opened in the distance, and several figures walked in from outside.

"Who, who is it?" Jiang Shou was very excited. "My lord, did you come to save me, my lord?!"

"You lot, go buy me some wine and meat, understand?" The person who came in was not Lin Boguang, whom Jiang Shouxin had been thinking about, but another chief inspector under him, who was also his mortal enemy, Wen Tao.

"Wen Tao, how could it be you?" The moment Jiang Shou saw Wen Tao, his expression changed drastically, and he said with great disdain, "Where is Lord Lin? Why didn't he come to see me in person?"

"Who do you think you are that Lord Lin has to come and see you in person?"
