Chapter 662

Li An's heart gave a jolt. He swiftly shielded Guo Yao behind him, sidestepping at the same time to nimbly dodge Wang Qiang's strike. Just then, Li Yun also arrived in the nick of time. Seeing the scene before him, his brows knit tightly and a flicker of doubt flashed through his eyes.

"Li An, you really are a problem!" Li Yun shouted loudly, his police baton gripped tight, ready at any moment to deal with any sudden situation.

Li An felt helpless inside. While dealing with Wang Qiang's attacks, he tried to explain to Li Yun: "Li Yun, listen to me explain—these people aren't ones you can handle!"

But Li Yun had clearly been driven out of his mind by the scene before his eyes; he simply could not take in Li An's explanation, and instead his resolve to capture Li An only grew firmer.

Wang Qiang's moves were vicious and ruthless, every strike aimed straight at Li An's vital points. Yet Li An slipped through the crowd like a swimming fish, cleverly dodging each attack while searching for a chance to counter. Zhang Min, watching nearby as Wang Qiang failed to break through after so long, also joined the fight. The dagger in her hand glinted coldly, every swing carrying the whistling sound of wind.

The pressure on Li An spiked, but he did not panic. He drew a deep breath, steadied his stance, and seizing the opportunity sent Wang Qiang flying with a backhand strike. Wang Qiang traced an arc through the air and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

This sight made the minor henchmen of the mysterious organization around them turn pale with shock—they had never seen such a powerful opponent. And Li Yun, seeing how formidable Li An was, began to waver in his own judgment. He looked at Li An with doubt, wondering just how much strength this man he had chased and captured many times was actually hiding.

Guo Yao cheered Li An on from the side, her voice bewitching yet full of power: "An, go for it! Show them how fierce you can be!"

Hearing Guo Yao's shout, a warm current welled up in Li An's heart. He turned to look at Guo Yao, his eyes filled with gratitude and tenderness. Then he threw himself back into the fight, launching a vicious, ruthless attack on Zhang Min.

Though Zhang Min was treacherous and venomous, under Li An's fierce assault she too began to falter. She retreated step by step, the dagger in her hand trembling ceaselessly beneath Li An's strikes. In the end, Li An delivered a vicious side kick that sent Zhang Min crashing to the ground as well.

The members of the mysterious organization saw this and scattered in all directions, knowing that staying here any longer would only lead to a dead end. Li An seized the chance to turn and look at Li Yun, his eyes filled with resolve and candor: "Li Yun, I can explain everything to you now."

Li Yun looked at Li An, his eyes holding both doubt and curiosity. He nodded, signaling Li An to continue.

Li An told Li Yun everything about the "Ancient Key" and the mysterious organization's plot, just as it had happened. His words were full of sincerity and resolve, forcing Li Yun to take a fresh look at the man before him.

"Li Yun, I know you may find it hard to believe what I'm saying. But I can promise you that everything I've done has been to protect this city and the peace of this world." Li An's words rang out firm and strong, a steadfast light glinting in his eyes.

Li Yun was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Li An, I believe you. But you must promise me—don't ever let me catch you harboring any improper thoughts again. Otherwise, I won't show the slightest mercy."

Li An smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Li Yun. I'll use my actions to prove my innocence."

The misunderstanding between the two was finally cleared. They exchanged a smile, as if reaching some tacit understanding. Yet just as they thought the crisis had temporarily passed, Li An's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the message on the screen, and his expression instantly became grave.
