Chapter 644: Didn’t He Say He Had No Connections
"Inspector Sun, the little thief who stole military rations, along with her accomplices, are inside. They're too arrogant. They were caught red-handed, yet they still dared to fight back. They don’t respect us at all. You absolutely mustn’t let them go." Zhou Ding’s voice echoed from outside.
Inside, the smiles on Bai Longfei’s family’s faces vanished instantly. Li Xiaofei’s grin also faded slightly. The battle in Xiajing City had only ended the day before. The aftermath was being handled by the last surviving Grand Commander, Chu Yuncheng, alongside other officials.
There was still a long way to go; rebuilding and restoring order would take time. And neither of those tasks were Li Xiaofei’s strong suits. So, he had split up Ye Liuying and the rest of his team, sending each one to different parts of the country to support base cities that had yet to fall.
Li Xiaofei had set Haijing City as his destination. Tcity was still surrounded by star beasts and the Yiggs army. Fortunately, the battle on the city walls had temporarily stalled. Even though news of Xiajing City’s victory had yet to arrive, the star beasts and the Yiggs forces had sensed something and held off on attacking.
Thus, Li Xiaofei didn’t act immediately. He had sensed Bai Longfei’s presence in the city, which was why he had rushed over. He hadn’t expected to find his old friend in such a miserable state. And even less expected, that amidst all this chaos, Haijing City still had parasites like Zhou Ding, preying on helpless citizens.
A chilling intent to kill stirred silently within Li Xiaofei’s heart. But just then—
Bang!
Zhou Ding kicked the door open and stormed in. This time, he had brought twenty to thirty men as a show of force. They were led by a tall and broad-shouldered man in a Police Department uniform. He had a power gun holstered at his side. His strength? At least Meridian Expanding Realm.
A thick, light brown beard covered his jaw. His eyes were sharp and ruthless. One only need a single look to understand that this wasn’t someone easy to deal with.
"Police Department business, resistance will be met with lethal force."
The bearded officer stormed in, his eyes sweeping across the room before flashing his badge.
