"It seems this kid has cooked up another scheme. Heh heh, the feeling of watching a good show from the shadows is just the best." After a person slipped away from that corner, a white-haired elder reappeared atop the Grand Lisboa in Macau; this elder was none other than the one who had been tailing Yang Yi all along.
"The people from the Dragon Group are watching him too. It looks like Macau is going to be turned upside down tomorrow."
Meanwhile, back in the car with Yang Yi and the others, the increasingly stifling atmosphere was practically forcing the suffocating Fatty Lin to cover his nose. He turned to Yang Yi and asked, "Brother Yi, where exactly are we going?"
"We're going to the Macau Commander's residence to play the good guys!" Yang Yi replied with a casual smile.
"Good guys?" Fatty Lin was utterly confused, scratching his head. "What good guys? Why go to the Macau Commander's house to be a good guy? Aren't they...?"
"Heh heh, don't ask yet," Yang Yi said.
"Is this related to the person following us?" Xuanyuan Bing couldn't help but ask, glancing at Yang Yi in the rearview mirror.
"Someone's following us?" Fatty Lin frowned deeply, sensing carefully, but seemingly detecting nothing, looking at Yang Yi with confusion.
"They've already suppressed their internal energy. And the reason Ice discovered them so quickly is probably because she sensed them back at the hotel, right?" Yang Yi glanced at Xuanyuan Bing with a smile.
"En," Xuanyuan Bing confirmed. "Yi, what exactly are you planning? Can you tell us? You're making us all itch with curiosity right now."
"You'll know soon enough," Yang Yi revealed nothing more, as the car suddenly accelerated.
"Commander Zhou, look at what our two good-for-nothing boys have done. Could it be...!" Chen An, the Director of the Macau Police Bureau and Chen Bo's father, looked displeased, though his usual flattery remained.
Zhou Hai, Fatty Zhou's father, was Macau's highest Commander, holding the position for twenty years; by the end of today, he was likely to step down.
"En, this matter isn't really a big deal. Our sons are very smart; they understand using this New Year period to enforce a lockdown, which will help maintain peace in Macau."
"That's true. Macau has been too chaotic during the New Year. If things go wrong, the blame will fall on us. But Commander Zhou, we didn't notify the Central Authority for review regarding this matter; could there be any trouble?" Chen An said.
"What trouble?" Zhou Hai looked unconcerned. "As long as our sons have fun, that's all that matters. Besides, those triads haven't been very compliant lately, and the Central Government should have noticed this. As long as they notice, this whole affair won't cause us any trouble."
"Indeed, Commander Zhou is worthy of his title," Chen An said flatteringly.
"Haha, let's go downstairs for a drink."
"Good."
Just as the two were preparing to head downstairs for drinks, a black sedan appeared nearby and stopped. Before the occupants could even breathe a sigh of relief, they still didn't know the true purpose of their visit.
"Macau's top Commander has held this position for twenty years; he's probably done quite a few 'good deeds.' So, we'll do a good deed too, though ours is quite different from theirs," Yang Yi said with a faint smile.
"Brother Yi, why do I feel like everything you're saying tonight is so hard to understand?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Heh heh, it’s not hard to understand. Ice, Yanran, do you know what to do?"
Hearing Yang Yi's words, both Xuanyuan Bing and Feng Shi nodded simultaneously and opened the car doors to step out.
"Be careful!"
"En!" The two responded and headed towards the villa beside the car.
Meanwhile, behind the car, a figure ducked into an alleyway, suddenly frowning, muttering, "Why would they come here?"
"Hey? Long Er?" A sudden voice startled Long Er, who was lurking in the darkness. He spun around to see two figures.
"Long Er, why are you here?" Unmistakably, these two were Long Wu and Feng Wu.
"Look ahead!" Long Er shook his head and said, "I followed them here."
"Why would the Dragon Lord of the Black God Gang be here?" Long Wu frowned and whispered, "Logically, he should be preoccupied with the issues between him and the Dragon Gang right now. Why...?"
"I don't know either. Two of them have already infiltrated the Commander's residence," Long Er said, equally perplexed.
Yang Yi's sudden appearance here confused not only Fatty Lin and his group but also these observers. However, Fatty Lin now seemed to understand a bit; the previous bewilderment on his face was replaced by a look of furrowed, determined concentration, tinged with a hint of anticipation.
"Hmm? Looks like everyone has arrived," Yang Yi suddenly murmured.
Fatty Lin quickly checked the rearview mirror and saw only a mist behind them, sensing figures but seeing no one clearly. He asked, "Brother Yi, even if I don't know what you're up to, can you at least let me know if there's going to be a fight later?"
"Damn it, you'll be begging me to stop tomorrow!" Yang Yi shot him a glare. "We're going to clash with the Dragon Gang tomorrow. I believe they are planning to make their move at dusk. Just make sure you don't complain about being tired then, kid."
"Haha! As long as there's a fight, I won't tell you I'm tired, don't worry. Tsk tsk!" Fatty Lin always got excited when he knew a fight was coming, especially if the opponents weren't ordinary people.
Ordinary people—anyone with a bit of strength would disdain fighting them. But facing a powerful opponent actually excites you, because defeating a formidable foe brings a much greater sense of accomplishment than beating a novice.
"Fifth Brother, what should we do now?" Feng Wu asked, looking at the black sedan ahead.
Long Wu pondered, "Let's observe for now. Don't alert them."
Just as they prepared to observe further, Feng Shi and Xuanyuan Bing had already infiltrated. The two split up; Feng Shi's movements were exceptionally spectral, and her footwork could not be underestimated. As the second strongest among the Ten Army Generals, her skills were naturally formidable.
Xuanyuan Bing, being an esper, possessed no martial arts, but her infiltration using her abilities was also highly effective. However, that wasn't the main thing. Most importantly, Xuanyuan Bing seemed very fortunate, as the place she slipped into was none other than Zhou Hai's office.
Feng Shi, on the other hand, seemed a bit rash. The first room she entered was Zhou Hai's bedroom. After searching for a while without finding anything, she let out a slight smile on her usually cold and beautiful face as she entered the adjacent room—Zhou Hai's study. She figured she might find something here.
With two figures infiltrating upstairs, the two downstairs were drinking, blissfully unaware, raising their cups and singing merrily, enjoying themselves immensely.
"En, this item will definitely be useful. This Macau Commander is truly clueless, daring to keep something this valuable here!" Xuanyuan Bing held a document whose contents made her smile bloom.
However, Xuanyuan Bing's comment was somewhat irresponsible. After all, she had used her special abilities, employing illicit means, to retrieve this document from a hidden safe. The document was, in fact, a stack of ledgers.
As the saying goes: No official is without greed!
This saying, it seemed, was absolutely correct, especially for high-ranking officials, because the higher the office, the greater the corruption.
Why say this?
Not only did Xuanyuan Bing find evidence of corruption, but Feng Shi did too. What she found seemed even more powerfully incriminating against Zhou Hai.
"If the Central Authority knew that this Zhou Hai was involved in bank robberies, would he be executed?" Feng Shi whispered, "En, let's set him aside for now and give this evidence to the Young Master first."
A short while later, Xuanyuan Bing and Feng Shi regrouped downstairs. They exchanged a look, raised the documents in their hands, and with smiling expressions, vaulted over the wall.
"Heh heh, Bing'er and Yanran worked fast," Yang Yi said with an almost demonic smile as he watched Feng Shi and Xuanyuan Bing clear the perimeter wall, remarking cryptically, "Now we have the capital to converse with Macau's top Commander."
"Converse?" Fatty Lin's heart sank; it seemed what Yang Yi was doing was beyond his expectations again.
In fact, Fatty Lin had initially thought Yang Yi would take the Macau Commander's evidence and hand it over to the Dragon Group who were tracking them, on the condition that the Dragon Group lift the blockade on the three defense lines. But now he was talking about conversing with the Commander? Whatever Yang Yi intended to do, the outcome would soon be clear.
"Long Wu, look, what are those two holding in their hands?" Long Er, sharp-eyed, seemed to spot something.
"They look like they're holding some documents. Could it be...?" Feng Wu seemed slightly more accurate than Long Er.
Long Wu stared, his eyes widening suddenly, murmuring, "Could that be Zhou Hai's evidence of crimes?"
