  6:50 in the evening

  Xiao Yu appeared at the entrance of Liuyuan Teahouse.

  'Liu Yuan Tea House' on Tianlin Road is one of the largest tea houses in scale, occupying two floors at the bottom of a commercial building. Unlike those on Honglin Road, this place emphasizes environment and atmosphere, with pure greenery and no messy things.

  Tonight's date, Xiao Yu was very hesitant in his heart and didn't really want to come. He had a strong dislike for the identity of the person who made the appointment with him. However, after thinking about it, he also wanted to gather some information, so he still came.

  As soon as he walked into the tea house, Xiao Yu was attracted by its decoration. Not only was the overall environment clean and tidy, but also the layout was simple and elegant, and it was very quiet, unlike those tea houses that were specially designed for young people to play cards, which were filled with smoke and noise, even more lively than a vegetable market.

  There were not many guests at this time, and after asking the waiter about the location of Room 2, Xiaoyu walked upstairs. The walls on the stairs were hung with antique paintings all the way, which looked very elegant.

  As he walked to the door of Room 2, before Xiaoyu could even knock, the door automatically opened and a large hand suddenly reached out from inside, pulling Xiaoyu into the room.

  Xiao Yu saw clearly who was pulling him after he didn't resist and let him pull himself into the private room.

  "Officer Feng, what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Xiaoyu found a seat and sat down, seeing Feng Yong with his ear pressed against the door, carefully listening to the movements outside. He couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the proud captain of the Hongqiao Precinct Criminal Investigation Team acting so sneaky.

  Feng Yong didn't respond and stood at the door listening for a long time. Only after making sure there was no movement did he sit down across from Xiao Yu.

  He looked at Xiaoyu deeply and said faintly, "Wang Guochang is dead."

  "What?!!!!!" Feng Yong's first sentence after sitting down made Xiao Yu's face change color involuntarily.

  That was his first time using a heavy hand on the acupuncture points, and in his heart, he really had no idea what to do. Could it be that he had accidentally killed Wang Guochang without realizing it?

  No way! The position of that acupoint is at the waist, and it's not a vital point that endangers life. No matter what, there won't be any danger to his life. Seeing Feng Yong's thoughtful gaze from across the room, Xiao Yu knew he had been tricked and had revealed his true nature after being provoked.

  But the police had no evidence, could they just arrest themselves for no reason?

  Thinking of this, Xiao Yu's heart calmed down a bit, and his facial expression also eased up.

  But then Feng Yong's next sentence made him tremble with fear again, "I've resigned."

  Xiao Yu was somewhat bewildered. Was Officer Feng going to be stubbornly unyielding today? Could it be that there were some unknown underlying circumstances here?

  "Officer Feng, you're not joking with me, are you?" Little Yu asked tentatively.

  "Kidding?" Feng Yong smiled wryly and picked up the teapot from the table, pouring a cup of tea for Xiao Yu and himself.

  Taking a slight sip of tea, Feng Yong continued, "No need to be nervous, Wang Guochang was killed by two men in black clothes at the hospital, it's unrelated. Also, thank you for sending me the password card, with this card, our police cracked a big case."

  Xiao Yu listened to Feng Yong and did not mention the matter of attacking Wang Guochang at the door of Tian Sheng Gate, knowing that he had deliberately avoided this topic. When hearing Feng Yong mention the password card, he was a little puzzled in his heart. He didn't sign his name on that letter, so how did he know it was sent by him?

  Upon reflection, I realized that the letter was sent from the post office at the school gate. Given the capabilities of the police, they must have found a clue from the postal stamp and determined that I was the one who sent the letter.

  It seems I still didn't think it through, next time I'll have to consider things more carefully.

  Xiao Yu also took a sip of tea, Feng Yong's was oolong tea, and it seemed like he had added double the amount of tea leaves, the taste was very bitter. Xiao Yu couldn't help but wrinkle his brow, put down the cup, "Officer Feng, since we cracked the big case, shouldn't you be getting a promotion and raise? Why did you resign instead?"

  Xiao Yu knew that the position of head of the criminal investigation team was not something that could be taken lightly, it required experience, ability and courage, none of which could be lacking. There must have been many people in the police station who had their eyes on this position, but for Feng Yong to voluntarily resign was truly unexpected.

  "Remember the great achievement?" Feng Yong sighed again, took out a cigarette from the box on the table, lit it up, and took a deep breath. "This time at Wusong Wharf's drug case, although we made sufficient preparations, mobilized most of our police force, and equipped ourselves with excellent firearms, we didn't expect the opponent to be so ferocious. Not only did they have guns, but also homemade explosives on them. After a chaotic battle, although we eliminated the opponent, our police department lost twelve officers, mostly killed by the explosive devices detonated by the opponent in their last moments."

  "Twelve people died?" Xiao Yu was shocked in his heart. When he saw the news on the website that day, wasn't it just said that more than ten police officers were injured? How did it become twelve deaths now?

  Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Feng Yong sighed, "You've also seen that news, right? That day the media came to ask for news, our director didn't dare tell them the real situation. If the news of twelve police officers dying got out, it would cause a huge stir and his position as director would be in danger. Besides, even if they understood the real situation, they wouldn't dare publish it. All these kinds of things need to be controlled by the news."

  Xiao Yu was silent, this is the current state of news in China. In order to maintain social stability, TV and newspapers only report good news and not bad news. Many true messages can only be obtained from the internet. The death of 12 police officers is a big deal, but it was covered up by fake news.

  Although Feng Yong broke a major drug case, compared to the sacrifice of twelve police officers' lives, it's probably still more harm than good in the eyes of the bureau leaders.

  "In the bureau, in order to keep it confidential, all information about this case was sealed and a gag order was issued. Not only were we not given any credit, but even the twelve police officers who died on duty did not receive the honors they deserved, and instead were just hastily given a condolence payment."

  "Officer Feng, just for this you resigned?" Xiaoyu still couldn't quite believe it, although there was no commendation, but it wasn't to the point of resignation either?

  Xiao Yu suddenly realized that Feng Yong's thick eyebrows were gradually standing up, as if a burst of anger was about to erupt at any moment.

  Xiao Yu looked at him in surprise, it seemed that Feng Yong's resignation this time was not as simple as he had imagined.

  After a while, Feng Yong calmed down and said slowly, "My wife was stabbed five times on duty last Friday night. By the time I arrived, she had stopped breathing. There was a note left on her body that read - 'A life for a life'."

  Feng Yong's body trembled as he spoke the last sentence, his large hands clenched into fists, and a tear was quietly falling from the corner of his eye.

  They say iron men don't shed tears, but it's just because they haven't reached the heart-wrenching point yet.

  Xiao Yu was stunned, who did this? The perpetrator's methods were so cruel!

  That Wang nurse is a good person, last time he even did a fake certificate to cover himself up, how could he be targeted by criminals? This blood debt must be aimed at Feng Yong, maybe it's because of the Wu Song Kou case.

  "Officer Feng, have you found out who did it?" Xiaoyu asked anxiously.

  Feng Yong let out a cold snort, exerting great effort to suppress the anger in his chest. "Who else could it be? We retrieved the hospital's surveillance footage and from the perpetrator's attire, it appears to be the same group as the Wang Guochang case. It must be the 'Black Dragon Society' or the 'Flying Eagle Hall' who did this! I know that I led a team to foil one of the 'Black Dragon Society's' plans at Wusong Wharf, and they must want revenge against me. I'm not afraid; if I were, I wouldn't be a policeman. But I never expected them to be so despicable as to target my loved one!"

  "Flying Eagle Hall? What kind of organization is this?" When Xiaoyu received the password card from the Black Dragon Society, he had checked their organizational structure and didn't find any mention of this name.

  "'Flying Eagle Hall' is a secret organization within the 'Black Dragon Society', responsible for handling some shady transactions that cannot be exposed to light. The people inside are either fugitives or wanted criminals, and it's said that there are even professional killers among them. These people are ruthless and will stop at nothing, directly managed by the leader of the Black Dragon Society, Long Fei. Our police informant within the Black Dragon Society couldn't gather more detailed information." Feng Yong's eyes burned with endless hatred as he introduced Flying Eagle Hall to Xiao Yu, who was also shocked by what he heard.

  "Officer Feng, now that we know who the murderer is, why not take down the entire 'Black Dragon Society'? I don't believe it, with the police's capabilities, can't even handle a single organized crime group?"

  "One web to catch all? How easy is that?" Feng Yong's eyes were filled with anger and helplessness, and he fiercely pinched the cigarette butt on his finger into the ashtray.

  "Hei Long Hui" is a large-scale entertainment company on the surface, and it has connections in both the black and white worlds. Even Long Fei was considered as a candidate for the city's political consultative committee, and there are people in the city who are backing him up. My report got stuck at our bureau chief's desk, he said that there is no direct evidence to prove that Long Fei sent someone to kill Wang Guochang and my lover, so an arrest warrant cannot be issued unless I can find those two men in black and get evidence from them that would be detrimental to Long Fei.

  "What evidence? Isn't that website proof? Can't all the shady dealings of the Black Dragon Association be found there?" Little Yu suddenly thought of the password-protected website.

  "What about the website?" Feng Yong snorted, "Since Christmas, that password card has been invalid. It's likely that Long Fei and his gang have noticed something and had it blocked! Besides, just relying on the website can't solve anything. They can simply say that someone else set up the website to frame them."

  Xiao Yu was speechless, he didn't think that taking down a 'Black Dragon Society' would be so difficult for the police.

  Feng Yong downed the tea in one gulp, not feeling the bitterness of the tea leaves at all. "That day, I left my police gun and work permit on the director's desk right then and there, saying I quit, being a cop is so restrictive, this can't be done, that can't be touched, except for catching some small-time crooks and thieves, nothing big can be accomplished. Tomorrow, I'll send the kid to his grandfather's place out of town, when I get back, I'll risk my life to turn this 'Black Dragon Society' upside down!"

  At this moment, Xiao Yu couldn't help but admire Officer Feng, thinking that he was a real man with a strong sense of justice!

  At the same time, his understanding of the 'Black Dragon Society' deepened. These people were ruthless and cruel, so if he were to look for trouble with them in the future, he would have to act secretly and not reveal his identity or address. Otherwise, if he implicated Old Zhang and the others, he would regret it forever.

  However, he was unsure of Feng Yong's intention in finding him. Was it to join forces or did he have other purposes?

  Looking at Xiaoyu's thoughtful expression, Feng Yong, although unable to read minds, also guessed Xiaoyu's thoughts with a high degree of accuracy. After all these years of working in criminal investigation, how could he not have this level of skill?

  Feng Yong poured two cups of tea for himself and Xiao Yu again, and said, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, I didn't find you today to ask you to work with me. You're still young and have a great future ahead of you, it's not worth taking risks like me. I know you're a capable person, able to disable Wang Guochang and take his password card right under the noses of our police department - that's something even I couldn't do. If there's an opportunity in the future to get information about the 'Black Dragon Society', I hope you can contact me."

  After finishing speaking, Feng Yong took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yu, smiling slightly, "This is my phone number. I'm not a police officer now, should be acceptable, right?"
