Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Ai Jiao originally felt her mind wasn't as sharp as Yan Wang's, and facing this problem, she racked her brains but couldn't figure it out.

So she simply gave up thinking and turned her gaze to Yan Wang. Only to see Yan Wang sometimes frowning tightly, sometimes relaxing his brow, repeating this many times, seemingly never finding the answer.

Ai Jiao watched from beside, feeling anxious in her heart, and couldn't help but speak up to comfort him: "Wang, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore, let's look for other evidence."

Although his words were simple, they were like a bolt of lightning flashing across Yan Wang's mind, making him instantly sober.

After hearing Ai Jiao's words, Yan Wang felt they made sense, so he immediately instructed his subordinates to search everywhere to see if they could find some useful clues.

At the same time, on the other side, Tang Qi, led by Lin Shuo, smoothly arrived in front of a residence. After observing for a moment, Tang Qi immediately ordered his subordinates to knock on the door.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and an old man with white hair appeared at the entrance. Tang Qi didn't explain his purpose too much to him, but led Lin Shuo and a group of men straight inside.

After entering the residence, Tang Qi quickly made his deployment. Some people surrounded the residence to prevent anyone from escaping; others began to carefully search every corner of the residence, not missing any clue.

Just then, a tall and thin woman slowly walked out. Her lips were thin, her chin was pointed, and the upturned corners of her eyes revealed an unignorable sharp and mean aura.

As soon as the woman appeared, she rudely asked: "Who exactly are you people? Within this Yuzhou City, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Tang Qi simply didn't want to pay attention to her and continued to instruct his subordinates to search on his own.

However, this woman was clearly not easy to provoke. Seeing Tang Qi ignore her, she immediately flew into a rage, and without a word, she reached out and scratched toward Tang Qi's face.

Tang Qi was after all a martial artist, so his movements were naturally agile. Although this woman had considerable strength and behaved like a shrew, she was ultimately no match for Tang Qi.

Only to see Tang Qi quickly sidestep, easily dodging the woman's attack, while the sword hilt in his hand flashed like lightning, accurately striking the woman's body.

Only hearing a "bang" sound, the woman was caught off guard and was slapped hard to the ground by the sword hilt. She was obviously stunned by this sudden blow and stood there dazed for a moment.

However, this woman's reaction was quite fast. After regaining her senses a little, she immediately screamed at the top of her lungs and began to wail loudly: "Murder! Help! Someone come quickly!"

Tang Qi felt as if a swarm of bees were buzzing nonstop in his head, making him irritable. His expression became increasingly ugly, and he had no patience at all for the woman's crying and shouting.

So Tang Qi expressionlessly made a gesture to the soldiers escorting Lin Shuo. That soldier was also quick-witted, and upon seeing this, immediately understood, and without hesitation threw Lin Shuo onto the ground like a sack.

Lin Shuo completely didn't expect such a thing to happen, and was caught off guard, crying out "aiyo" and falling flat on his face.

Just then, the woman's gaze, as if attracted by a magnet, fell directly on Lin Shuo. Seeing this, she immediately hurried forward anxiously, wanting to help Lin Shuo up, while shouting anxiously: "Shu'er, why are they tying you up?"

Lin Shuo, hearing his maternal grandmother's voice, was like seeing a glimmer of light in the darkness, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and quickly shouted: "Maternal grandmother, quickly untie the ropes for me!"

It turned out that this woman was named Feng Hong, and was indeed Lin Shuo's maternal grandmother. Lin Shuo's maternal grandfather had unfortunately passed away a few years ago, and since there was no man to support the family, Feng Hong naturally became the head of the household.

She had a son, but her daughter-in-law had a timid personality and obeyed her in everything, letting her manipulate at will. Plus, her daughter was the City Lord's wife, which made Feng Hong feel even more exalted and unmatched, so her temper became increasingly sharp and mean, and she feared no one.

Feng Hong untied the ropes on Lin Shuo's body in a flustered manner while cursing nonstop in her mouth.

However, the rope seemed to deliberately oppose her; no matter how hard she tried, there was no sign of it coming undone. Feng Hong became increasingly anxious, and even a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and roared angrily at Tang Qi: "Quickly untie my grandson's ropes! My son-in-law is the Inspector of this Yuzhou, do you believe I'll have him kill you!"

Tang Qi originally already felt disgust toward her, and now seeing her like this, the irritation in his heart surged like a volcano erupting, and he could no longer suppress it. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his voice carried a hint of coldness: "Do you know where your good son-in-law is?"

Feng Hong was stunned by this sudden question, shook her head blankly, and stammered: "I... I don't know."

Seeing this, Tang Qi's contempt grew even stronger, and he continued: "Whether he has the ability to kill me is beside the point, but do you believe I can easily take your life right now!"

Before his voice faded, only to see his hand rise and sword fall, a cold light flashed, and the sharp sword blade was already across Feng Hong's neck.

Feng Hong was terrified out of her wits by this sudden change, her legs trembled like chaff, and she couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her neck, followed immediately by a sharp pain. She subconsciously touched her neck, and what she felt was wet and slippery. Looking closely, it was actually blood!

"Blood... blood..." Feng Hong screamed in terror, her voice distorted by excessive fear. Her body, as if losing support, slumped softly to the ground.

Tang Qi looked at Feng Hong's terrified appearance, and the anger in his heart subsided a little, but his tone remained cold and ruthless: "It's just a bit of broken skin, and you're so afraid. If there's a next time, I'm afraid it won't be so simple; maybe I'll directly separate your head from your body!"

Hearing this, Feng Hong's trembling became even more violent, like a withered leaf in the wind. Just then, the soldiers who had searched for half a day finally came over and reported to Tang Qi that they had not found any trace of those two people.

Tang Qi's eyebrows furrowed tightly, his gaze fixed on Feng Hong, with a hint of doubt and seriousness in his eyes. He asked in a low voice: "Did your daughter and your son-in-law come here today?"
