Chapter 703: Meeting The Young Man Again
The elderly officer, known as Old Zhang, was also visibly shocked. But after thinking carefully, he realized that Zhang Hongjing’s reasoning made perfect sense.
Sun Xiaochuan had awakened the Steel Man ability, which had already been confirmed through Dragon Group's investigation. Based on existing intelligence, he was at least Earth Level. Yet, this Mr. Li had crushed him underfoot and disposed of his body effortlessly.
According to Miss Fan’s description, that was merely the tip of the iceberg when it came to Mr. Li's strength.
“Captain, we need to report this immediately,” Old Zhang said gravely.
Zhang Hongjing nodded. They were not ordinary police officers, nor were they part of the criminal investigation division. They belonged to Dragon Group, the newly established National Special Superpower Police Force.
This case had shown extreme irregularities from the very beginning. That was why, after forensic experts had inspected the scene at Tuanbo Lake and confirmed beyond doubt that superpowered individuals were involved, the case had been handed over to their specialized unit.
The one leading the investigation was none other than Zhang Hongjing, the gifted superpower user known as The Hand of Prohibition.
At first, they thought their level of caution was sufficient. But now, it seemed they had still underestimated the situation. If a superpower user beyond Sky Level had truly emerged within the country, then Great Xia could gain a decisive advantage during the potential global power restructuring. The first to act would always be the first to lead. This matter could not be delayed.

The scorching sun blazed overhead at the bus station in Yumen Town, to the northwest. A young farm boy, Li Guorui, pulled an oversized suitcase and carried a 361-degree sports backpack on his shoulders. He waved goodbye to his parents.
