Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Arriving at Situ Yan's familiar home, Jiang Feng sensed a slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

After all, the last time he was here, he almost got turned down by Situ Yan.

Although he managed to "escape" in the end, the incident left him feeling extremely awkward, and both of them tacitly avoided bringing it up.

Situ Yan seemed much more at ease than Jiang Feng, wearing only a nightgown, walking back and forth before Jiang Feng, fetching him cigarettes and pouring water for him.

The sporty, cool nightgown did little to hide her sexy, fiery figure. Her pair of snow-white thighs made hearts race, and her pink, sockless feet flashing back and forth in front of Jiang Feng's eyes had the allure of a beautiful woman at home.

"Why did you suddenly think of going to the action department?"

After pouring water for Jiang Feng, Situ Yan sat down opposite him and asked.

"For Zhu Ge Yuheng."

Jiang Feng didn't hide anything: "He was kidnapped. The community's surveillance didn't catch anything, so I want to check the surrounding recordings."

"Zhu Ge Yuheng was kidnapped?" Situ Yan was equally surprised: "Was it at his home?"

"Yes. I went to find you, but you weren't there, so I had Niu Tao help me with it," Jiang Feng said calmly.

Situ Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Who do you think did it? His enemy or yours?"

As expected, she understood Jiang Feng well, directly asking the critical question.

"No idea. There's not a single clue right now. I was still in the Provincial City when I found out about this; it was quite sudden."

"Oh... your life really is a rollercoaster. You can't catch a break even for a few days..."

Situ Yan shook her head bitterly and then asked with concern: "I heard you caused quite a stir in Provincial City too, but I've been busy with a case and couldn't pay much attention. Is everything over there resolved now?"

"More or less, you don't need to worry about me at all. I was just about to ask you—" Jiang Feng looked at Situ Yan: "Are you really planning to go to that 'Nightmare Ghost Shadow' alone tonight?"

Situ Yan was slightly taken aback: "Niu Tao told you?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "Don't you think you're being reckless? Knowing there's possibly a crime scene there, you still dare to go alone? Are you joking with your own safety?"

Situ Yan stared at Jiang Feng's expression, and suddenly burst into laughter, saying full of amusement, "What, you're worried about me?"

At that moment, her heart felt genuinely sweet. Jiang Feng's domineering concern and questioning made her feel very warm.

"Do you think I shouldn't worry?" Jiang Feng frowned, looking at her: "Or do you think it's not foolish to take such risks alone?"

Situ Yan snorted, feigning helplessness as she pouted: "What else can I do? The cases of assault are getting more frequent, and the culprit is very cunning. If I don't do this, what can I do?"

"The owner of the 'Nightmare Ghost Shadow' is very crafty. In the action department, he refuses to confess anything, and the female victims who report have no visible injuries, nor can we extract any valuable evidence from them."

"I carefully questioned each victim. None of them remembered the process of the assault, as if their memories were erased. They only discovered they were violated afterwards!"

"So using conventional methods won't solve such a tricky case. I had no choice but to use my private capacity to make an appointment with the 'Nightmare Ghost Shadow's' owner, to infiltrate the enemy's den and gather firsthand evidence!"

"I think you're just being stupid, walking into the lion's den!" Jiang Feng glared at her, expressionless.

"Hey, don't look down on me like that!"

Situ Yan retorted defiantly, "I'm an action officer, am I really that incapable? Besides, I've prepared thoroughly. Even if someone wants to set me up, it's not that easy!"

Jiang Feng was speechless: "What good does your preparation do? You're just one person. Do you know what their intentions are? If it's a Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave, to put it bluntly, if they use force against you, there's nothing you can do!"

"Impossible! I don't believe they have such nerve!"

Situ Yan snorted: "No matter what you say, I'm going tonight. This case has reached a point where it must be solved. Eleven victims have reported, and how many more are threatened into silence? The type of criminal who harms women and commits serial crimes is the one I hate most. I must stop their atrocities and cut off the cancer!"

Jiang Feng sighed: "You really know how to make people worry. How about this, if you insist, I'll go with you tonight."

Since Niu Tao couldn't provide results for a while, Jiang Feng really couldn't feel at ease with Situ Yan going into the den alone, so he had no choice but to reluctantly go along.

"You're coming with me?"

Situ Yan was a bit stunned at first, but then her heart filled with warmth. It felt great to be cared for and protected!

Immediately, she beamed with delight, saying, "That would be great! You said it, no backing out!"

"When have I ever gone back on my word to you?"

"Haha, alright then! I believe with the two of us working together, we can definitely get to the bottom of this!"

Situ Yan's confidence soared, brushing away her last bit of doubt, and her expression was exceptionally exuberant.

"Alright, I'm hungry. Go make something to eat." Jiang Feng shook his head, too lazy to say more.

"Okay, I'll go make some dishes in the kitchen, wait for me!"

With excitement, Situ Yan got up and headed straight to the kitchen.

Watching her back, Jiang Feng felt quite helpless. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he took out his phone and called Chu Feifei.

On the phone, he briefly explained his visit to the action department.

Since it would take a long time for Niu Tao to review all the surveillance footage, they'd have to patiently wait for the results.

"Uncle, do you think Uncle Zhuge will be alright? Please don't let anything happen to him!" Chu Feifei asked anxiously after hearing Jiang Feng's words.

"I don't know." Jiang Feng sighed.

He really couldn't answer that question.

Who exactly kidnapped Zhu Ge Yuheng remained a mystery, and without any leads, Jiang Feng had no way to rescue him.

The only thing to do was to hope that Zhu Ge Yuheng could take care of himself or that Niu Tao could find traces of the culprit before any harm came to him.

It's nothing short of a race against time!
