Previously, due to the situation with Shen Zuimo, it was known that there was a mole within the investigation bureau, but without evidence, the mole hadn't been exposed.

Initially, everyone thought that with Shen Zuimo's departure, the matter had settled down. But unexpectedly, the other side seemed not to have given up. Through secret investigation, the mole revealed information about Ye Xiaofan, and now they had shifted their focus onto Xiaofan.

"Xu, you drive the car back to the bureau first. I'll hide this kid and then notify the boss to send someone to pick him up."

"The kid didn't drink much of that water earlier, so I'm afraid the effect won't last long. Remember to give him another shot later."

"Got it..."

With that, Huang Liyuan took Xiaofan and switched to another car, arriving at an unfamiliar place.

Before getting out, Huang Liyuan pulled out a syringe filled with anesthetic from the car and was about to inject it into Xiaofan's arm.

However, Xiaofan, who was sitting at the back, suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Huang Liyuan's wrist, forcing him onto the back seat.

"Don't move, or I'll snap your neck."

"Y-you weren't fainted?" Huang Liyuan was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.

"Heh, you think your acting could fool me?" Xiaofan sneered.

"I don't understand. Both of our identities are real, and we haven't given anything away." Huang Liyuan genuinely couldn't see where he'd gone wrong.

"In fact, I suspected you guys from the moment you showed up at my door. First, if the investigation bureau needed something from me, Lin Miaoke or Hao's call would suffice. Second, the matter with He Jun is already fully handled by Uncle Liu through his lawyer. Even if they wanted to inform me, it would be through the lawyer, not the bureau."

Upon hearing this, Huang Liyuan showed some surprise. How could he have thought this kid had such a sharp mind?

"Not just that, I haven't been home for a while, and when I got back, I noticed slight signs of furniture being moved, with your fingerprints left in some places. This proves that you two had already sneaked into my house before I returned. As for your so-called drugged water, I didn't drink it at all; I secretly poured some out when opening the cap."

"I admit it, we were too careless." Huang Liyuan said with a wry smile. However, while appearing to concede, he was secretly reaching for the gun at his waist.

"Don't move. I said, I'd break your neck." Xiaofan wasn't careless, keeping an eye on his actions, taking the dangerous gun away, and then asked softly, "Talk. Since you can mention Ghost's name, you must know what that organization is."

"Hmph..." Huang Liyuan merely snorted coldly, showing disdain toward Xiaofan's question.

'Crack.'

"Ah."

That disdainful snort came at a cost for Huang Liyuan.

A finger was snapped directly by Xiaofan. Growing up practicing medicine with his grandfather, Xiaofan was very knowledgeable about human bones, making it easy for him to break a finger.

"Speak, otherwise, I'll break your fingers one by one."

Demon. The kid before him suddenly turned into a demon. It shouldn't be, the original intel didn't mention this kid being so ruthless.

But at this moment, Xiaofan was close to losing control, not for any reason other than this matter involving Shen Zuimo.

Indeed, the reason this guy captured him was to use him to threaten Shen Zuimo. So...

'Crack.'

Without waiting for a reaction, another finger was bent down.

"You brat, going against us; you'll die a terrible death."

'Crack.' No matter how hard-mouthed Huang Liyuan was, Xiaofan expressionlessly continued the action.

"Ah, no, stop, I can't tell, if I do, I'll die." Huang Liyuan started to fear, the pain from his fingers being unbearable.

"Do you think not speaking will keep you alive?"

Cocking the gun and disengaging the safety, Xiaofan shot at the broken middle finger of Huang Liyuan with a 'bang'.

"Ah, bastard, ah..."

"Don't think your partner will save you. That Xu Kai probably has been caught by now, and the bureau folks will take some time to come here. I have time to play with you."

Seeing Huang Liyuan in pain, Xiaofan felt no pity. Just like Shen Zuimo once told him, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. He can't make mistakes; making a mistake would lead only to death.

In the end, unable to withstand the pain, Huang Liyuan told Xiaofan everything he knew.

The organization is called Red Butterfly. Huang Liyuan didn't know much about it but knew it was very large. They weren't members but were found by the organization through data, gambling in Macau excessively, beyond a normal salary's affordability.

Money remains one of the most domineering weapons in this world.

They usually communicated via calls or other means, with money deposited into another account. It was done quietly. For direct contact, like today, if Huang Liyuan wanted to hand Xiaofan over, his identity was confirmed by a black 'R' tattoo on the arm.

This was everything Huang Liyuan confessed.

In the end, Hao brought investigation bureau officers to take them away. Lin Miaoke didn't appear; apparently, she's received a transfer certificate and seems to be getting promoted.

Due to this event, Xiaofan suddenly made a decision. He's already involved, and escaping won't help. He doesn't know when the organization will come for him again, and if next time it's an assassin like Blood Wolf, he won't escape. Plus, Shen Zuimo isn't completely safe yet.

Hao and the others won't disclose Shen Zuimo's whereabouts to him, so the only way for him to find out is to seek it himself.

"Ah." Xiaofan suddenly held his head. The dizziness came without warning.

"What's wrong, Xiaofan? Did you get hurt earlier?" Hao asked while driving.

"Hmm? It's nothing." Though saying it was nothing, Xiaofan was almost cursing: he'd just seen the doctor this morning, did a bunch of tests, and the doctor found nothing. But after using a bit of force against Huang Liyuan, the side effects immediately hit, and though not deadly now, it would be fatal if he fainted in an actual fight in the future.
