Peerless Divine Doctor

Knocking at the door, the police officer who had gone to arrest Ye Luo walked in, looked at Zeng Fang and said, "Director, we’ve brought back the item."

Holding a box, the officer placed it on the coffee table. Situ Ao hurried over to open it, and a dazzling emerald light shimmered captivatingly—it was indeed that emerald.

Zeng Fang, looking at the peerless treasure that was rarely seen in decades, flashed a look of astonishment in his eyes. The owner of the jade shop beside him was also filled with a fiery gaze, but he didn’t dare harbor any greed, for he wouldn’t know how he’d die otherwise.

"Heh heh, the emerald, in the end, still fell into my hands. You’re still too green to fight with me," Situ Ao said with an emerald in hand and a cold smirk on his face.

"Come, let’s go see that kid, I want him to understand clearly that in this Capital City, there’s nothing Situ Ao wants that he can’t get."

Situ Ao hummed coldly and got up to walk out.

Inside the interrogation room, as soon as Ye Luo entered, he activated his Clairvoyant Eye, scanning the entire police station. He discovered the presence of Situ and the jade shop owner, immediately understanding everything, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Soon, the door to the interrogation room was opened, and Zeng Fang walked in with Situ Ao. However, as soon as Zeng Fang saw Ye Luo’s face, a look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

He had only followed Situ Ao’s orders to arrest someone and had never expected that person would turn out to be Ye Luo, the lifesaver who had rescued Qin Yuru.

However, it was a pity that this guy had offended Situ Ao, and probably even Qin Yuru’s intervention would be useless now.

"Kid, didn’t expect us to meet so soon, did you?" Situ Ao looked at Ye Luo with a cold smirk.

"You’re really quite clever, coming up with this kind of method," Ye Luo said calmly.

Situ Ao, with disdain, glanced over Ye Luo: "In this Capital City, I can easily play you to death, even if the Qin Family is backing you, it’s of no use."

"If you had just obediently sold the emerald to me before, all this trouble could have been avoided. Unfortunately, you were too arrogant. Not only did you refuse my request, but you also tricked me. In the end, you even hurt me. Did you think that just because you’re an Innate Expert, I couldn’t deal with you?"

"You can start a fight now if you want, I know this interrogation room can’t stop you. But the moment you take action, you’ll become the target of execution across all of Huaxia," Situ Ao said with a cold and ruthless glint in his eyes and a sinister smile on his lips.

"I don’t see it that way. Director, please, could you take something out from inside my jacket?" Ye Luo said, his gaze fixed on Zeng Fang.

Zeng Fang looked surprised, but still walked over to Ye Luo and took out a small booklet from the pocket of his jacket. It was the identity document of the Special Security Service.

When Zeng Fang saw the booklet, his expression changed instantly. He opened it quickly, his pupils constricted, and he looked at Ye Luo in disbelief: "You’re from the Special Security Service?"

"A member of the Special Security Service?" Situ Ao’s expression froze, he stepped forward, snatched the booklet and looked at it with flickering eyes.

"I didn’t expect you to be from the Special Security Service, and a Major at that. No wonder you’ve been so calm up to now. So that’s why. But you’ve underestimated my stature, Situ Ao. Do you think a mere Major from the Special Security Service can intimidate me? Is it possible?"

Situ Ao smirked coldly, and then pulled out a lighter from his pocket, setting the booklet ablaze right then and there.

"Young Master Situ, this?"

Seeing Situ Ao actually burn the booklet, Zeng Fang’s complexion changed immediately, his heart pounding. It was the identity proof of the Special Security Bureau, and he hadn’t expected Situ Ao to burn it. If this got out, it would be the end.

Soon, the booklet was completely burnt to ashes. Situ Ao sneered, "Now, everything has been solved. Director Zeng, you and I have never known that this guy was from the Special Security Bureau, right?"

Upon hearing Situ Ao’s words, Zeng Fang’s expression faltered. He quickly understood and his eyes flickered. In the end, he could only nod. He had no choice but to do so, or else if others found out, Situ Ao might be fine, but he would be done for.

"You sure have guts!" Ye Luo said, fixing his gaze on Situ Ao.

Ye Luo had not expected Situ Ao to have such audacity, to directly burn his credentials. It was the first time he had seen someone face the Special Security Bureau without any fear. It seemed that the Situ Family’s power was indeed very strong, not even caring about the Special Security Bureau.

What Ye Luo didn’t know was that some of the top experts within the Special Security Bureau were joint forces from the Situ Family and several other ancient martial arts families. Naturally, Situ Ao was not afraid of Ye Luo, this so-called Special Security Bureau member.

"The rest is up to you. Just send him to prison and make sure he never gets out," Situ Ao said to Zeng Fang coldly, then turned around and left the interrogation room.

"Mr. Ye, I’m sorry, but I have no choice. You can only blame yourself for crossing the wrong person," Zeng Fang said to Ye Luo, his eyes conveying a hint of apology.

"I know, but if you think I’m going to capitulate just like that, I’m afraid it’s not that easy," Ye Luo retorted coldly, thinking of how to handle the situation. Forcibly fighting back was obviously not an option, as doing so would put him in direct violation of the national government, and that would be even more troublesome.

As Ye Luo was trying to come up with a solution, the door to the interrogation room was suddenly opened. Zeng Fang’s assistant, Xiao Tao, hurried in and whispered a few words in Zeng Fang’s ear.

Zeng Fang’s expression changed abruptly, and he quickly walked out.

A few minutes later, Zeng Fang returned, but this time he was accompanied by several figures—Qin Yuru, Ling Qingya, and Shi Yanran.

Another figure was dressed in black training clothes, with a solemn face and an oppressive aura exuding from his body.

The person was the martial arts expert who had intervened during the encounter with the Maple Leaf Organization’s expert, the same night in Zhonghai when Shi Yanran and he had dinner.

Ye Luo still remembered that the person had given him a token with the character for "battle" engraved on it. Until now, Ye Luo had not figured out what the token meant, and he hadn’t expected to encounter the person again today.

"Mr. Ye, I apologize for our previous mistake in the investigation. You are no longer in any trouble and are free to leave," Zeng Fang said to Ye Luo with an eager, apologetic smile.

"Ye Luo, are you all right?"

Qin Yuru and the two other women rushed over, their faces filled with concern as they spoke to Ye Luo.

"I’m fine. How come you all are here?" Ye Luo asked curiously, looking at the three women.

"After I saw you being taken away by the police, I contacted President Qin," Ling Qingya explained.
