“Alright alright, cut the story. Since you’ve admitted, hurry up and sign here so that we can pack up and leave early too!” Wang Meng urged impatiently.

“Xu Lan, you are not thinking that Song Xi is innocent, are you? Is she a sliver of pure moonlight in your heart?” Zhao Ran asked and laughed hysterically.

“I have always known that you approached Song Xi because of the ongoing investigation. As I expected you to be feeling low for some time, I wanted to make use of the opportunity to get closer to you. However, I did not expect you to leave, which left me with no chance at all! Regardless, she has been an invaluable help to me in ways that you could not think of!” Zhao Ran spoke with a sense of superiority.

Bai Wu looked at Xu Lan before turning to look at Zhao Ran. His gaze was intense and it was obvious that he was trying to control his emotions. Even then, there were white mists surrounding him. Xu Lan snickered and held Bai Wu’s hands helplessly.

“There was nothing between Song Xi and I. Was that why you went for Wang Hao? To divert our attention to Laos?”

“Pft, the young man was in quite a bit of debt. I used that fact to my advantage once. However, after your return, he refused to be taken advantage of by me again!” Zhao Ran replied dissatisfactory.

“Heck!” Xu Lan stepped forward and threw a punch, turning Zhao Ran’s face into a bloody mess.

“To think that you involved so many people as your accomplices! You’ve ruined their lives! Hurry up and leave your thumbprint, I’m done talking to you!” Xu Lan said as he rubbed his fists. Bai Wu held Xu Lan’s fist and Xu Lan walked out impatiently.

When all the pictures were laid out before Meng Chengjun, he did not bother to deny and admitted to everything immediately. Meng Chengjun stayed close with Lao Chen for all the little perks that came with. Somewhere down the road, he wanted to make a name for himself. This was when he got manipulated by Zhao Ran.

“Pft, you are all beasts disguised as gentlemen! What nonsense!” Wang Meng cursed and made them sign and leave their thumbprints on the papers.

Once the 928 incident came to an end and Xiao Feng and the rest left the city, there was nothing that Xu Lan missed here anymore. Hu Cheng smiled with his yellow teeth, offering to buy everyone a meal. As he solved a big case right after being promoted, he had a bright career ahead.

“Useless! How many times do you want to lose to Bai Wu?” A violent roar echoed in the air, suppressing everyone with an invisible pressure.

“Oh Lord! Lord, please save me! He, he dug out my dragon bone!” A glimmer of hope appeared in Li Xiu’s dead eyes. He yanked on his handcuff and shouted hysterically.

“Shut up!” Bai Wu charged forward and gave him a solid punch on his face, shutting him up for good. “Get out!”

The sunny sky was covered with dark clouds, thunders could be heard everywhere. The clouds did not respond to Bai Wu, they were laughing loudly instead. The sharp and eerie waves of laughter were piercing his mind, making his heart shiver.

Suddenly, a sharp claw cut through the dark clouds, showing a head covered in scales. Two rows of sharp white teeth revealed themselves to the crowd. A pair of eyes as big as fists scanned through those who were standing on the ground condescendingly, two long dragon horns were protruding like antennas as it flapped its ears at Bai Wu. It seemed like the bulging sharp area on the back of its head lend it bravery. Its wings were flapping, and it stared fiercely at everyone.

Qiao Yi breathed out gently and a fireball charged toward the pedestrians, causing them to yell in pain. Qiao Yi stomped its feet and the tall buildings shook precariously. With a wave of its arm, the reinforced concrete fell onto the cars and humans, causing total chaos.

“Ah! Dragon! Dragon! Evil dragon!”

“Run! Hurry up and run!”

The dark clouds thickened and the thunders became louder, acting as the perfect backdrop for Qiao Yi’s dragon’s might. The entire Whitehorse City was in a state of panic, the streets were noisy and the people were running for their lives. Cars were stuck in congestion and the drivers honked incessantly. Everyone was trying to run away from the scary dark clouds.

“Mommy, there’s a dragon in the sky.”

“Mommy? Ahh! Ahh!” The sharp claws pierced the woman’s chest, splattering fresh blood on the child’s face, hands, and clothes. The woman’s hands were frozen perpetually at the moment when she was caressing the child’s face.

“Hahaha, this is fun!” Qiao Yi laughed loudly and swung the woman ten feet away.

“Ahh! Ahh! Mommy, mommy…” The child’s wailing attracted Qiao Yi’s attention. The claws as sharp as a steel knife returned once more.

“Bam!”
