“Tongtong isn’t afraid, with Daddy here, no bad guys can hurt Tongtong,” Xu Fan said, holding Tongtong, his heart aching as he spoke.

“Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and run with the hostage!” Su Jingxue saw Xu Fan, who had just picked up his daughter and was tenderly holding her and wiping away her tears, and urgently reminded him.

The criminal still had a gun in his hand. What if he changed his mind and shot at the two of them? This young man was not only rude to her but also lacked any common sense—Su Jingxue was so furious she could die.

“He won’t have a chance to change his mind,” Xu Fan said coldly, then stared at San Shui Ge, who stood there like a puppet, expressionless.

“Finish yourself,” Xu Fan ordered San Shui Ge softly.

“Finish himself?” Su Jingxue frowned, feeling that Xu Fan’s words were somewhat bewildering.

What was even more bewildering was that just now, this black-clothed criminal had a fierce look, ready to fight to the death, but for some reason, he suddenly became delirious and extremely expressionless, like a walking corpse.

Before Su Jingxue could figure out what was happening, she saw San Shui Ge, upon hearing Xu Fan’s words, slowly lift the gun in his hand.

Su Jingxue immediately pointed her service pistol at San Shui Ge and shouted sternly, “Drop your weapon now, or I’ll shoot!”

San Shui Ge didn’t pay any attention to Su Jingxue and slowly aimed the gun at his own temple.

“What are you doing?” Su Jingxue was surprised. In her many years on the force, she had only heard of extremely vicious criminals committing suicide before being arrested, but she had never encountered one, because even the most brutal criminals were only cruel to others; it was rare for someone to be so merciless to themselves.

San Shui Ge didn’t hear Su Jingxue’s words at all. With a vacant look in his eyes, he pointed the muzzle at his temple and slowly pulled the trigger.

“Stop!” Su Jingxue yelled, wanting to rush forward and kick the gun out of his hand, but it was too late. She had taken several steps back and was too far away from San Shui Ge to reach him in time.

“Bang!” A gunshot sounded, and without hesitation, San Shui Ge pulled the trigger.

Xu Fan shielded Tongtong behind him and covered her eyes with his fingers.

San Shui Ge’s skull, like the rind of a watermelon, flew off a piece, blood and white brain matter splattering everywhere with a burnt smell.

All three criminals who had barged in to kidnap Tongtong were now dead.

Two had lost their lives to Ben Ben’s bite, and one was controlled by Xu Fan to end his own—Xu Fan hadn’t lifted a finger.

Even if the police investigated further, they would find nothing about him. Moreover, Xu Fan had a brotherly relationship with Lu Chenbing, a bigwig in the Zhonghai Police Circle; Tongtong even called him Grandpa Lu at the dinner table.

Today’s incident would definitely require Lu Chenbing’s help in dealing with the aftermath, but as for this female cop in front of him, who seemed to have come out of nowhere, if it weren’t for her, Xu Fan wouldn’t have had to waste the Eye of Soul Capture. He would have liked to torment San Shui Ge thoroughly, have him die in excruciating pain. Now that he had been taken down with a single shot, it’s as if he escaped by luck.

It was only now that Xu Fan had the opportunity to take a good look at the female cop in front of him. To be honest, Su Jingxue was quite beautiful with a nine out of ten. She stood at 1.68 meters and weighed less than a hundred pounds, her figure slender and fit. Dressed in a black police uniform, she didn’t look old-fashioned at all, but instead, she radiated vitality and an air of authority.

Her skin, although not as tender and white as Xu Yixue’s, had a slight tan that added a certain resoluteness to her aura.

Especially her facial features, which were very three-dimensional and displayed a boldness that made them almost too intimidating to look directly at. Clad in a police uniform, donning a police cap, she exuded a heroic and impressive presence.

“How could this person just shoot himself like that? Did you pull some trick, or were you two in cahoots all along, and that whole scene was just an internal strife?” Su Jingxue asked Xu Fan, full of suspicion.

“Officer, you’ve watched too many movies, haven’t you seen those three thugs trying to kidnap my daughter? As for why they died, maybe it’s because they’ve done too many bad deeds, and the heavens couldn’t stand it anymore,” Xu Fan retorted to Su Jingxue, clearly annoyed.

“Policewoman Auntie, Daddy isn’t a bad person. Daddy came to protect Tongtong,” Tongtong poked her little head from behind Xu Fan, earnestly defending her father.

“Tongtong, Daddy will definitely protect you well from now on, and I’ll never let you be scared again!” Xu Fan hugged his sensible daughter, a face full of self-reproach and heartache.

Listening to Xu Fan’s words, Su Jingxue could tell from his eyes and tone that he wasn’t faking it. This case might really be about three thugs trying to kidnap a little girl.

But with the three thugs dead like that, Su Jingxue couldn’t just let Xu Fan go. She pulled out a pair of handcuffs and waved them at Xu Fan, saying, “Please cooperate with us until the investigation is clear. With the case unresolved, no one can escape suspicion.”

“So much nonsense, I’ve said what I had to say, believe it or not. As for the investigation, you can take your time, I’ve got things to do, so I won’t keep you company,” Xu Fan said coldly.

After speaking, Xu Fan placed his hand on top of Tongtong’s little head and gently released a wave of calming spiritual energy. Feeling this energy, Tongtong’s mood slowly steadied, and she gradually fell asleep.

Seeing that Tongtong had closed her eyes, and her breathing had also become regular, Xu Fan placed her on the sofa and gently covered her with a blanket.

As long as Xu Fan could erase all traces in the house before she woke up, and convince her subconsciously that today’s experience was just a nightmare, then today’s events would likely not leave a shadow in Tongtong’s heart.

Resorting to using his daughter as leverage had enraged Xu Fan. He bent down and searched through the pockets of San Shui Ge’s trousers, finding a domestic smartphone.

Xu Fan tried a few taps, but the phone was locked. However, with San Shui Ge’s body beside him, Xu Fan used San Shui Ge’s own fingerprint to unlock the phone.

Turns out San Shui Ge was still of some use, even in death.

No sooner had Xu Fan flipped through the messages than he saw a text that had been sent from a phone number registered in Zhonghai City.

The message was about the target of the kidnapping and the time was just last night.

Xu Fan’s fingers moved, and he sent a message back to that number: “Target handled!”

Within less than twenty seconds, a reply came through: “Bring her to Warehouse 74, Area A, Xiangshui Bay Wharf!”

“Okay,” Xu Fan silently noted the location, Warehouse 74, Area A, Xiangshui Bay Wharf!

No matter who the mastermind behind this is, you’re not getting away from me!
