The two colluded and hit it off immediately.

First, they tied up Xi'er and Xiaohuatou to prevent the two little rascals from causing any more trouble. Then one of them started taking off his clothes in the room, while the other ran to the door in the rain to close it.

"You brat, slow down! I haven't even kissed her little mouth yet, so don't take your filthy thing out!" The man warned as he quickly walked to the door. Just as he was about to close the door, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky!

The gloomy sky was once again illuminated as if it were daytime, revealing the shadow of the person hiding outside the door.

"Who?"

"Ugh!"

Before the man could react, his throat was pierced by a sword!

He clutched his neck, staring at the person outside the door, wanting to scream in surprise, but each time he tried to speak, it only caused more blood to gush from his mouth.

"What's wrong? You're so slow at closing the door." The person in the room had just taken off their clothes and was now standing inside looking out.

The sound of rain and thunder was so loud that he didn't hear his companion's screams at all.

But at that moment, he saw his companion lying on the threshold, and began to call his name.

"Dazhuang, Dazhuang?"

"Damn it."

After cursing like that, he picked up the knife beside him again, reached out towards Shen Juanxin, who was huddled in the corner, pinched her pretty face, and said, "Little lady, you better wait here obediently, I'll be right back~"

Then he strode out of the room, calling out his companion's name as he approached him.

But just as he got closer, he suddenly saw bloodstains on the ground and on the door.

"Dazhuang, are you alright? Don't scare me like that!" The man was too frightened to approach and could only stand there shouting, "Who? Who's hiding there? Stop hiding, I can see you!"

He clearly didn't see anything, but he insisted that he did.

A figure crept up behind him without him noticing!

With a "thud," a bright blade pierced through his chest from behind!

"Who gave you permission to touch my wife?" Long Aotian covered the man's mouth, leaned close to his ear, and whispered like a devil.

The man struggled to break free, but Long Aotian didn't give him a chance. He gripped the hilt of the knife and twisted it violently, tearing his intestines apart. Soon after, the man was completely lifeless.

After killing two people, Long Aotian's hands were trembling, but he didn't care about anything else and rushed into the room, where he saw a figure huddled in the corner.

His eyes were filled with heartache as he slowly approached her and whispered, "I'm sorry, my wife, I'm late..."

Shen Juanxin did not answer; she simply buried her head between her legs, seemingly still reeling from the fear she had just experienced.

"Miss..."

Long Aotian cautiously moved closer, and the moment his hand touched hers...

Seemingly an instinctive stress response, she swung her hand and slammed a sharp piece of broken tile hard against Long Aotian's shoulder. The sharp corner pierced through his clothes, and blood immediately oozed from his fragile skin.

"Alright, it's alright, I'm here." Long Aotian stepped forward and gently hugged his wife.

It feels like your wife is Liu Yifei, and she almost got bullied.

In this situation, any man would be heartbroken to see it...

Shen Juanxin hugged Long Aotian tightly and finally burst into tears...

She was a lady from a respectable family. If she lost her reputation here, even if Long Aotian didn't despise her, the ridicule and gossip from the neighbors would drive her to her death...

That broken tile was originally meant for her. She had no choice but to fight back to save Xi'er and Xiao Huatou, but to be defiled by such a person, she would never again live in this world...

Fortunately, Long Aotian came when she was most helpless.

"It's alright, I've already taken care of all the bad guys." Long Aotian gently patted his back and comforted him softly, "No one can hurt you anymore."

After a while, Shen Juanxin's crying finally subsided.

Long Aotian also got up and untied the restraints on Xi'er and Xiaohuatou.

"Lord Shen, thank goodness you arrived in time." Xi'er looked at Long Aotian, her eyes also red, and hugged him. "If you had come any later, we would have..."

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian patted her head and comforted her, "It's alright, I'm here. No one can hurt you."

"Lord Shen, it's all my fault. If I hadn't accidentally knocked over the wooden shelf and attracted these thieves, Sister Shen wouldn't have..." The little rascal lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly with self-reproach, his nails digging into his flesh, oozing a trace of blood.

"Now is not the time to blame anyone. We need to get out of here immediately." Long Aotian patted Xiaohuatou on the shoulder and said, "Things haven't gotten to the point of no return yet, so don't think about ending it all."

Long Aotian, holding Shen Juanxin's hand, led Xi'er and Xiao Huatou away from here.

Just then, a large group of people walked in from outside, led by Wen Tao.

"Chief Inspector Shen, where do you think you're going?" Wen Tao looked at Long Aotian with a terrifying smile and said, "It's all because of you that we brothers have ruined the Sea Market and now we're all broke. Tell me, don't you deserve to die!"

“The opening of the maritime market was illegal from the start. You allowed those bandits to enter Qianzhou City for your own selfish interests, and even took advantage of the sea route to send them away from Qianzhou City. I was just doing my duty to rid the people of a scourge!”

Wen Tao laughed and silently stepped forward. "What's wrong with you? Can't you just be a good-for-nothing? Why do you have to come and ruin our plans!" As he said this, he immediately slashed a knife fiercely at Long Aotian!

However, this guy's martial arts skills were really not high. Long Aotian simply raised his hand and blocked the knife.

However, even if Wen Tao's martial arts skills are poor, Long Aotian, who is a complete novice, is definitely no match for him.

After about three moves, the sword in his hand was knocked to the ground...

"Back when we were in the Zhenye Division, I was still a little afraid of you because you were wearing official robes," Wen Tao said viciously. "Now that you're trying to force us into a corner, then none of us will have an easy time!"

He waved his hand lightly and said to the people behind him, "You guys grab his wife for me. After I'm done, you can have your fun as you please!"

Upon hearing this, the guys in the gambling den were all eager to try their luck!

Without saying a word, Long Aotian brandished his fists and fought desperately against the group of people!

But what use were his wild, haphazard punches? He was quickly subdued, and several bloody cuts appeared on his body!
