Translator: 549690339

Xu Fan entered the room radiating an aura of murder, his eyes filled with towering rage as he looked at the man in black holding Tongtong hostage.

At that moment, Tongtong’s face was streaked with tears, her hair disheveled, her expression one of sheer panic. Seeing Xu Fan come in, she finally burst into loud sobs, “Wuu wuu wuu… Daddy, bad people want to catch Tongtong, hurry up and hit the bad people, save Tongtong…”

Xu Fan’s eyebrows were painfully knitted together, a tremendous sense of guilt flooding his heart. He had only stepped out for a moment and Tongtong had encountered such an incident. If it weren’t for Ben Ben’s protection, these beasts might have already taken Tongtong away.

Xu Fan coldly swept his gaze over the two corpses on the floor.

One had his throat torn out by Ben Ben, another was turned into charred ash by Ben Ben, both thoroughly deserved their fates, as long as the man in black in front of him was still unharmed.

Martial Artist looked at Xu Fan suddenly barging in, his heart dropping, but he still steeled himself and shook the handgun in his hand, pointing it at Tongtong as he said to Xu Fan with a threatening, yet apprehensive voice, “Don’t try to stop me, or I’ll make you watch your daughter get her head blown off!”

“Haha!” Xu Fan laughed in anger, his voice ice-cold, “Release my daughter now, and I’ll give you a swift end. But if you wish to resist stubbornly, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

“Haha, you think you can scare me? If I release her, do I even have a life left? Cut the crap. If you let me go today, I’ll hand over your daughter. We are both Martial Artists, let’s not kill each other over this trifle, how about it?” Martial Artist, intimidated by Xu Fan’s murderous aura, quickly tried to smooth talk his way out.

It was unfortunate that Xu Fan had no intention of letting him go.

His daughter, Tongtong, was his reverse scale; harm her, and you’d face death.

In Xu Fan’s eyes, Martial Artist was already a dead man. What was the need to respond to the conditions of a dead man?

However, Xu Fan hadn’t made his move yet, he still wanted to know who was the puppet master behind all this. Three thugs wouldn’t have come to kidnap Tongtong for no reason; the only answer was that someone had hired them.

And there weren’t many people who bore ill will toward Xu Fan.

“I’ll count to three, and if you haven’t released my daughter by then, you’re finished,” Xu Fan said softly.

His tone was light, as if he was speaking to a soon-to-be corpse.

Martial Artist wasn’t a fool. Hearing Xu Fan’s words, he hesitated for a moment, but a ruthless light flashed in his eyes, and with a crazed laugh, he said, “You want me dead? I’ll kill your daughter first!”

After Martial Artist gripped the handgun ready to pull the trigger, a roaring noise came from the doorway.

A high-powered motorcycle screeched to a halt outside the villa.

“Could it be reinforcements?” Martial Artist halted his hand, silently praying.

Su Jingxue, dressed in a police uniform, pushed the door open and entered.

The scene that greeted her nearly made her jump.

She had thought today’s case was just a simple speeding incident, and after following Xu Fan’s car to the Star of Zhonghai district, seeing Xu Fan’s car stopped there, she didn’t hesitate to enter.

What she hadn’t expected was to see a bloody corpse with a slit throat on the floor and a burnt carcass that looked distressingly like a human skeleton as soon as she stepped inside.

Furthermore, in front of her, there was a man holding a handgun, his face full of madness, his finger on the trigger.

“Don’t move, put down the gun!” Su Jingxue quickly drew her own handgun from her waist and aimed it at Martial Artist in front of her.

“He and that dog are the murderers, I’m just trying to stay alive. Officer, you’ve got it all wrong!” Martial Artist saw an unsuspecting beautiful policewoman rush in and tried to muddy the waters.

“Put down your gun, then release the hostage, or I have the right to shoot you on the spot!” Su Jingxue, gun trained on Martial Artist, ordered defensively.

“I can put down the gun and release the kid. But you’ve got to take this man and his dog away. He’s killed two people already, and the moment I let go of this kid, I’ll be the third to die,” Martial Artist quickly said to Su Jingxue.

“Did you really kill these people?” Su Jingxue asked Xu Fan with a hint of surprise.

“Concerning yourself with what you shouldn’t, meddling where you’re not needed, there’s no use for you here,” Xu Fan said coldly to the beautiful policewoman.

Having been an officer for several years, Su Jingxue had never encountered such arrogance, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words. She then said fiercely to Xu Fan, “You! You’re obstructing official duties, careful I don’t arrest you!”

“Do you have the confidence to save my daughter?” Xu Fan asked Su Jingxue, staring her down.

“You must trust the police force; we will ensure the safety of the hostage,” Su Jingxue replied formulaically.

“I’m asking you whether you have confidence, yes or no?” Xu Fan said, sounding impatient.

“I will do my utmost!” Su Jingxue took a deep breath and answered firmly.

“Then don’t meddle in this situation,” Xu Fan waved his hand dismissively, “Get out, I’ll handle him.”

“Officer, please don’t go. If you leave, the hostage and I will die together!” Martial Artist threatened Su Jingxue.

Su Jingxue was also confused. Both men in the room didn’t seem to be good sorts, and with two corpses lying inside, she couldn’t simply stand by and do nothing.

So Su Jingxue took two steps back, covering Xu Fan and Martial Artist within range of her gun and warned, “Everybody put down your weapons, hands on your head, and let yourself be checked!”

“What a hassle.” Xu Fan sighed. While he had many ways to rend Martial Artist limb from limb right there, it indeed wasn’t wise to exhibit such actions in front of a police officer.

He still needed to be a good father to Tongtong and couldn’t afford to go too far in front of her.

So Xu Fan once again resorted to his secret technique, his eyes emitting a blue light that shot directly at Martial Artist. The Eye of Soul Capture activated.

Struck by the Eye of Soul Capture, Martial Artist first caught a dazed look, then his eyes grew incredibly vacant, his body movements stiffening.

“Release the hostage!” Xu Fan said softly.

Now a puppet in effect, Martial Artist, upon hearing Xu Fan’s command, awkwardly loosened his grip, releasing Tongtong.

“Daddy… Tongtong is so scared…” Finally freed from Martial Artist’s clutches, Tongtong cried out and ran into Xu Fan’s embrace.
